they saw an opportunity here with the disgruntled army to use the army as a lever, as a threat, against the states and the congress. to force the states to give greater power to the congress, to demand from the congress their pay. and the only way they would get paid by the congress was if the states sent money and increased the power of the central government. and they began, then, to play this very dangerous game of using the army. what these men feared most was peace. peace. because they knew that if peace came, the army would dissolve. they had not heard anything from our commissioners in paris, from mr. adams, mr. jay, mr. franklin and later mr. laurens. they didn't communicate with philadelphia. but the rumors were abound. these men knew they had to do something. he wrote to his friend, matthew ridley, quote, not much for the interest of america that peace should be made at present. think about that. not much in our interests that peace should be made. it is in our interest that the war be prolonged. meanwhile, up at the camp in newburgh, the officers muttering and murmuring, ther

and this is a debate not only internationally but between left and right that we see here in the us army and people i'm listening to about syria or people who are serious about syria and one of the things they point out that the mainstream media in this country is not pointing out is how the casualty list is roughly balance that is to say. assad is killing some people and the opposition is killing its own people and this doesn't come out in the media here it's all bashar al assad bashar al assad if that's the case and i think it probably is i think this is the way the arab league presented it in its report which no one paid any attention to in this country if that's the case is the civil war and a civil war that's produced casualties are roughly equal balance on either side and while we've made a mistake casualties as we all do this is not something you should be interfering in this is something that the syrians have to take care of themselves imagine eight hundred sixty one eight hundred sixty two of england had decided to intervene on the side of the south in this country we've been gr

how neglected to join the coalition and form a volunteer police force and invite in the army the us army to go to troll base a single murder is can be a big deal afghans to do value life and if americans and if the coalition are perceived to be murderers equal and brutality to the taliban that is going to have a profound influence on the course of this war. by the way i'm asking the questions here i'm not agreeing because i have not i haven't been to afghanistan i say good news is why i bring you guys on to talk about it so if we want to talk about an influence on the course of this war whether there really will be a turning point do you think there were only there's a new a.b.c. washington post poll that came out this weekend that shows that sixty percent of americans don't think that this war is worth fighting anymore over fifty percent said that we should basically cut and run not finish the training mission and leave and this was actually before any of this happened so are we seeing some kind of turning point or was that was the public opinion already there beforehand as it already i

the pakistani army will be humiliated, defeated, and then the pakistani military leaders will go to the president and say, we can solve this problem by using nuclear weapons on the indian army. they have the theory that they use nuclear weapons only within pakistan that the indians would not respond with nuclear weapons, which is a crazy theory, but they believe it. so that's a scenario of how we have not just one nuclear bomb in the city, a terror bomb, but we could have a nuclear war break out between two major countries in the world. and this is what i learned from listening to the pakistani former defense minister, his fear that they're heading for that kind of a nuclear war. that caught my attention very seriously. >> let's spend a few minutes talking about the threat of a nuclear 9/11. quite a few of the questions from the audience deal with the question of nuclear terrorism. and to frame that discussion, i want to read an excerpt from a letter that albert einstein wrote to franklin roosevelt in 1939. it was this letter that led to the establishment of the manhattan project, and the development of the first nuclear weapons by the uni
