united states. let me recommend a book by barry pozen from an i.t.alled "restraint." , youe should bear in mind look at the rest of the world, ,ountries like brazil, russia vietnam, china, south africa, japan, germany -- none of those countries has any military installations outside of the country except for russia. yet, nobody calls them isolationist. the united states has at least several hundred bases outside of the u.s.. it's our responsibility to respond to every crisis in the world. we are going for too much. we are overstretched. -- i read his book and some of his work in the past. he is a brilliant guy. he should have him on c-span to discuss this. host: barry pozen? caller: yes. from m.i.t. host: richard from florida. we will hear next from jim in kansas on our independent line. caller: hi. the first time i've gotten through on the line here. i think it's somewhat ironic that you would have a clip of vice president cheney on here. i don't think our foreign policies determined by elected officials as much as full-time nationalists. if you loo

as we know barry goldwater was a businessman turned statesman who served five terms in the united states senate and was a republican nominee for the presidency in 1964. he served arizona and our nation with honor and integrity for decades. leading up to the 1964 presidential election he earned the moniker, mr. conservative, for being so influential in the revival of political conservativism. after the 1964 election, he returned to the designate. because of his experience as a senior officer in the army air force reserve, he took particular interest in national security issues. serving as the chair of the senate select committee on intelligence from 1981 to 1985 and then serving as chairman of the armed services committee from 1985 to 1987. he was instrumental in crafting e goldwater-nichols act of 1986 which brought about the most important department restructuring in nation. to goldwater's service to this nation, i sponsor this legislation which the house is considering today. the entire arizona delegation, oth republicans and democrats, co-sponsors of the bill and i thank each one of t

united states. >> and andrea, let's check in briefly with someone we both know, retired army four-star general, and nbc news military analyst, general barry mccaffreys in seattle. what strikes you as you have been watching incoming pictures? >> a couple things, brian. one is, i'm sort of astonished at the inability to say anything sensible at all about the situation. one would think the u.s. embassy in the netherlands almost immediately within an hour or so would know whether u.s. passengers are aboard. second comment, obviously this was a mistake shootdown by somebody. nobody wants to bring down a commercial airliner. they're now trying to hide their engagement. third observation, these sa-17 buck missiles, tremendous self-propelled capability, a range out to 40-some-odd kilometers. you can't see an aircraft at 300 feet. so normally engaged by target acquisition radar. if this was the russians, i would hope they would have easily detected a known flight path, iff, an identification, friend or foe. it's hard to imagine the russian military would have done it. so the conclusion is, if it's a shootdown, then it's more likely the -- very sop

barry. paint would be useful if i did an overview of the prospects of some kind of practical cooperation between the united states and the assad regime with respect to the isis threat in syria. i, too will use isis as the word. this issue has come into considerable prominence recently as a result of an op-ed that appeared in the "washington post" written by three very accomplished americans, who implied that the united states should in fact seek ways to cooperate with the assad regime to confront what they described as the greater evil of isis. the specific point made by this trio of former distinguished diplomats was that it makes no sense to the united states to confront the assad regime and isis simultaneously. now, the president of the united states and the secretary of state, at least until now, have taken a different position entirely. they have considered bashar al-assad to be part of the problem in the isis context, and certainly not part of the solution. my personal view is that the president and the secretary of state are correct on this. now, this is not just a matter of the assad regime having spent t
