[laughter] but, the fact is we have not buried the vietnam war govea thumb is coming back to haunt us and people are thinking about that more and more everyday. if people remembered vietnam they would remember how the calls for withdrawal that came early on, i must say in 1967, two years after we were escalating the war. in 1967 i wrote a book, i love to advertise my books-- i will try to resist it later on, but i can't resist this one. in 1967 i wrote a book called vietnam, the logic of withdrawal and i must say the first book, there have been a number of books on the war in vietnam and mine was the first book that called simply for the united states to get out, not equivocating, not setting timetables, not saying we will get out if and when, we are not going to go to paris to negotiate for five years and six years. leagis tett to get out. and the

and -- >> host: leaving his father, walker smith sr., behind. >> guest: yes. father stayed behind.e was always estranged from his father, just like joe lewis. so i think -- but that's a good point. both joe lewis and young walker smith, later sugar ray robinson, looked for father figures, and i think both of them found father figures in the jazz men who were, you know, flowing in and out of harlem. >> host: and harlem itself becomes almost a father figure to sugar ray. >> guest: right. and because harlem was that one, one place in america at the time where there was black political muscle, there was a great pride left over from the harlem renaissance, and that was still flowing up and down the streets. there were black-owned nightclubs and blacks might not have been welcome downtown the at, say, the stork club, but they could come uptown and go to some of the black all-nightclubs. joe lewis owned a nightclub, the fighter henry armstrong owned a nightclub, and later sugar ray robinson owned a nightclub. so they all felt very comfortable in harlem. it was the black mecca, it was wher

cute, not because i have any -- i believe it's and i think symbolically he will take the place of the sr. anointed one, the grand poobah basically of al qaeda. but i don't necessarily mean that bin laden's going anywhere. i don't have any open sources with information about that relationship. >> i think the river back in the newsweek story years ago was that al zawahiri was jealous because he perceived relationship between abu yahya al-libi and bin laden he wasn't a part of which is at least possible. i don't want to stand here and say it's necessarily true but it's possible in the sense that al zawahiri has always had a manipulative perception or attitudinalist gordon bin laden. one thing i would say is i think that's gonna the most important strategic maneuvers that the senior of leadership is doing right now which i mentioned the turn against the pakistan government and the real decision since 2007 to highlight that and prior to rise in also prior to rise palestine propaganda in the way they haven't done in the past. everybody is on the same page. though i think abu yahya has been at

example, he made a point about the speech that the prime minister made the next day at the george bush srpresidential library, the first time he'd ever talked about regime change. if you actually read the speech, he talks about the three previous occasions on which he had been involved in regime change, the taliban, sierra he krone and kosovo. and so i don't really accept this analysis that at crawford there was this fundamental shift of approach in policy by the prime minister. and on your point about did i support the prime minister in relation to his pursuit of disarmament of saddam hussein and the way he was doing it, yes, i did. >> you did support it. >> i did. >> and what were the others in the close circle, were they of the same o view? >> well, i think you'd have to ask them. short answer is, yes. i think it's unfair to expect me to put their position when i know they're part of the inquiry as well. >> in your diary i think on the meeting on the 7th of march in 2002 you say that the cabinet was mainly about iraq. not executive division, but a lot of concern where it is going. what
