this move did not come as a surprise to former defense secretary robert gates.rt of what he said about the obama administration's distrust in the military last night on "special report." watch. >> i'll just say this about president obama and the military. president obama was "deeply suspicious of their actions and their recommendations." >> i think this was particularly true in afghanistan. and i think there were people in the white house, and i don't want to name any names, who were constantly goading him and saying, the military's trying to box you in, the military's trying to trap you, the military's trying to bully you, military's trying to make you do something you don't want to do. >> i'll name names. was vice president biden one of those people? >> i think so. and i was told so. >> joining us for reaction on this is the host of "war stories," lieutenant colonel oliver north. lieutenant, great to see you tonight. >> great to be with you. it makes me glad that i fought this war over there instead of washington, d.c., when i hear things like that. >> well, t

you remember robert gates, the defense secretary under both president bush and president obama.good this guy must be to work in those -- both of those administrations as secretary of defense. well, today, he was testifying on a matter of military importance in front of a senate committee and he said this: go. >> the national security council and its staff were created to provide the president with organizational mechanism to coordinate and integrate their efforts. how well that works depends entirely on the personal relationships among the principles and talents and skills of the national security advisor. even this structure headquartered just down the hall from the oval office works poorly as the secretary of state and secretary of defense can't stand one another as was the case for a good part of my time in government. >> oh. that's hillary clinton. the other alternative is condoleezza rice. and everybody loves condoleezza rice. it has to be hillary clinton, rights? >> well, look. he also served in government for decades. >> not as secretary of defense, henry. >> he is referr

both on national security, former defense secretary robert gates testified and before the senate armedervices committee on the future of our military and he has been very outspoken against the administration in recent days in his interview with bret baier. interesting to see what he has to say in this forum. on the house side homeland security committee is hearing worldwide threats from the fbi director james homey. will join us in ten and it can't tell us what he hears from the top intelligence officers, the threat is bigger than ever from isis, potential home grown attacks. we will talk to peter king moments from now. in the meantime have you seen these? donald trump crushing the competition dominating of the republican field in his national poll numbers as they need higher. these leading the pack in expectations as republicans look for a winner who condone the distance and win the general election which has been much discussed when it comes to donald trump whether or not he can do that. brand new hour of america's news in, i am are the mccallum. >> caller: i am the bill: i am bill h

you have robert gates giving an interview and saying our program of training the syrian rebels for $500 million and i think we trained four to nine people that that idea was nuts. >> stephen hayes calls this announcement about afghanistan bizarre. both sides could agree this is the official failure of the so-called obama doctrine which was his plan to erase our commitments to that part of the world. the idea that he has talked relentlessly about pulling out of afghanistan and is now forced to concede, it's not that easy. i think gates has a lot of credibility on this matter. he ran the cia. i believe him. >> he called the program nuts. president obama in his 60 minutes interview said he wasn't behind the program. he just wasted 500 million dollar. i happen to agree with gates and i agree with you. >> attaboy. >> we've been there in syria with rebels when we start arming the rebels and now we're talking about sending arms, to whom? >> let's listen to that now. >> president obama was quote deeply suspicious of their actions and their recommendations. >> i think this was particularly true

robert gates recently appeared before this committee as has been noted. one of his major points is the u.s. continuously cycles to ramp up for a crisis and then cutting the force to a bare minimum once the crisis is over. people are assuming another crisis won't come along and we will have to predict when and where it will occur. there is expense. we should continue to explore the advantages of unmanned systems, and precision guided munitions but numbers matter in war. our current modernization path at existing levels of funding, we are likely to find ourselves with state of the art capabilities yet incapable of conducting sustained operations against a credible opponent. this outcome is troubling and something this committee should consider. to summit up, i emphasize that numbers matter. the capacity of our military is at least as important as how it is equipped. overall sigh of the force and how much it is used appears to be independent of technology, perhaps even strategy, internal organization. and too small a force is profound consequence. once again

it's approaching the recommendations of robert gates, who told the senate committee that the old u.s. plan of taking fighters out of syria for training was never going to work. instead, gates testified that the u.s. should find motivated tribes or ethnic groups and arm them. >> they may not fight in iraq, or outside of their own turf against isis. but they may well fight to the death to protect their homeland, and their own villages. >> as u.s. and russian war planes now operate under agreed safety protocol to the syrian airspace, a video released by the russian defense ministry shows a close encounter between a russian yet and an american drone. john kerry called the understanding with the russians immoral, saying that it gives president putin clearer skies to bomb u.s. partners. >> the pentagon said today that it understands the frustration of some iraqi lawmakers who have been calling for russia to begin airstrikes in iraq, and carefully coordinated with the iraqi forces on the ground and designed to minimize civilian casualties, and so far iraq's prime minister has not asked for h

robert gates echoed last week what was testified to the committee all year. that we should not forget the threats we faced in the past times that the current threat is complex and uncertainty. many have spent the past decade or more investing billions to build up and reshape their militaries in developing technologies to thwart america's technology advantages. many of the technologies that made america the unparallel global military power just 15-25 years ago, such as provision guidan guidance ammunition and stealth are declining. our advisaries are finding new ways as well to attack us from space and cyber. we face growing networks of violent extremist that will engage in a low conflict of technology. we have a similar but decline version of the military from the 1980s. we are spending the same amount as 30 years ago but getting 35% combat, 53% fewer ships, 63% combat and air squads. our forces are more capable than ever but not capable of being in multiple places at once. capacity still matters especially giving the number of contingencies we face. our ad v

walter mandale he said that the only two people who were clear was former secretary of the military robert gates and leon panetta. and he said that in his own role of that accounting, he said that the president should go for it. that is different than what joe biden has said in the past. back in january of 2012 he said at a democratic retreat, ashleigh, my opinion is "don't go, mr. president" but i should point out that on "meet the press" four months later he said that he sauna the president was going to go, and he said to the president, follow your instincts, and so it is interesting that when you put in more comments that were subtle digs at hillary clinton over at george washington this morning, he is clearly trying to challenge the narrative that hillary clinton is putting out that is this is one of the d fining moments as secretary of state, ashleigh, and he going after that. >> and the defining moment of the debate as well when secretary clinton said that the republicans would be her enemy if she had to choose one, which is the question from anderson cooper. and david gergen, i would like

former secretary robert gates had some thoughts about this when interviewed on fox news this week.listen. >> it was the operational micromanagement that drove me nuts of white house and nfc staffers calling senior commanders out on the field and asking them questions of second-guessing commanders. that's the kind of thing that made me crazy. david: joining me now chris from the state department official christian. good to see you, gentlemen. so what do you make of gate's comments? >> i think his comments stand on their own. my frustration with this seeing staff neither white house and national security counsel calling senior commanders just no place for that. everybody acknowledges that under our constitutional system, the military's responsible to the constitution and the constitution says that the president is commander-in-chief and the way he should communicate with leaders is directly through the secretary of defense. that's the right way to do it. when you have people jumping outside of the chain of command, it confuses with things introduces friction, it's bad for everybody.

to help us begin this effort than our distinguished witness, the former secretary of defense, robert gates. q and defense, in my view nine, can match his record as a reformer, directing more than $100 billion in eternal inefficiencies, eliminating dozens of failing or unnecessary acquisition programs, held people accountable and even fired a few. yet by his own account he left overwhelmed by the scope and scale of the problems at the defense department. this is the purpose of the oversight effort we are beginning today, to define these problems clearly and rigorously and only then to consider force may be necessary. there is profound urgency to this effort. the worldwide threats confronting our nation now and in the future have been more complex, uncertain, and daunting. america will not succeed with anything less than the most innovative, agile, and efficient and effective defense organization. i have not met a senior civilian or military leader thinks we have it today. in no ways as a criticism of the patriotic service in and out of uniform he sacrifice every day. toto the contrary it is

i am sitting in this situation room with robert gates, hillary clinton and others and suddenly roberts says the relationship with the israelis is all give give give and no debt. he was using the exact same words 47 years later. what did it reflect? what it reflected was the sense that somehow the relationship really isn't reciprocal. the irony is the israelis actually do give quite a bit and especially in the security area. if you look at what the israelis have provided over the years, they captured soviet equipment, they would that they our equipment in light of what they rediscovering in combat and we got the benefits of how they modify our equipment given that, learned much more about soviet doctrine, what we learn from the israelis on terror and counter teheran intelligence is hard to quantify and you can't give it a dollar value. it wasn't that we weren't getting something from the israelis but what we were getting them is not what we wanted. at least when i say we, people like comeare and robert gates, one week beginning was not what they wanted. we were not getting what we want

former defense secretary robert gates, he is talking about our country's preparedness to defend ourselvesat tape for a minute >> a question before the congress and the president. is the priority you get to defense at roughly 15% the lowest percentage of the federal budget since before world war ii. without proper and predictable funding, no amount of reform are clever reorganization will provide america with a military capable of accomplishing missions assigned to it. stuart: no time for budget cuts for the military. >> it has been devastating to the military. not simply the cuts imposed by sequestration. close to 1 trillion a half dollars of spending the low bush administration projections. taking that out of the comparison, the military's capabilities, they have been genetically restricted. i think we have to be honest with ourselves. a new president will face extraordinary needs to have big increases in defense spending. that just means to me more cuts to keep the spending down. if we do not refurbish the military and make progress, we will simply be managing the decline that obama has

secretary rice and robert gates both worked there and gates straddled and did the obama administrationorking. there are things that we can do to reacquaisert american wars. >> it's been said that we're going into another cold war. do you buy that? >> no, i hope this. you have to have more imagination than that. the cold war was about communism and the other was terror. there might be similarities but we have to have more imagination on how to fight. it does not just mean military. when i say fight you have to bring your diplomatic game to the table. now it i seems like all that president obama says is that he is sending signals today and that he may have to stay a while. that's unacceptable. >> thanks for coming. >> yeah, thank you. >> also she has a great book by the way. >> and also my dog. >> also her dog. >>> coming up on the show check out if viral videos. dozens of illegal packed inside of a truck. the unbelievable scene. >>> do you always let your kids win? >> a six, five, four, jack, eight. i win. >> what do you mean you win? i had a hand like that before and i did not win. >>
