that was the phrase used by the president. what exactly are u.s. troops being asked to do? >> well, the way you asked the question indicated the grayary we're in, because there is an ancient law going back 150 years, no use of federal troops for law enforcement. it gets gray when you get to the border. now, if indeed there was an invasion, which there isn't, clearly we can defend ourselves. that's one of the reasons you have a military. but using troops in a border situation with asylum seekers is i think not appropriate. if they're being used in support, you know, president obama sent people down to support the customs and border patrol, but all the indications are this was an overreaction. your lead in,said in a quote i there are 500 bad criminals. i have never seen any evidence of that. i haven't heard any evidence of that. if that's the case, clearly something we need to take account of, but the question is can we use force at the border? it seems to be inappropriate unless there is some serious provocation, which so far doesn't seem to be the case. >> brennan: are you g

u.s. is in an imperial foot race. it is clear about that. here is what i mean, first, it uses the -- the u.s. uses the destruction of the war to say, if someone has to protect the caribbean, after all, the germans have parked one of the few remaining warships they have just off the coast of the dominican republic. right? they are just checking it out, in case you know, no one is looking and they can pounce on panama. this is such a great threat, the u.s. says, that we have to send all of our or virtually all of the warships down there, to check the germans. who, frankly did not even have any coal and could barely -- they couldn't move the ship, which is why it was off the coast. so, there is that. the u.s. is also very aware of the fact that the british can't spread any thinner. and, the only people that the british have kind of keeping an eye on the caribbean, the only white folks in this area are the canadians. who, during world war i will say, both to great bend and to the united states and great britain and the united states, and i quote, we too, need our own deep self. so, canada will mak
