we're joined by retired general wesley clark, he served as the supreme allied commander europe for nato. how crucial is pakistan's cooperation to the war effort against the taliban in afghanistan? >> well, it's very, very important. the united states has to work with pakistan as an ally. >> the long and the short of this in the short term we're talking about two crucial supply lines. it's been estimated that about 40% of the material brought into afghanistan goes through these two. how crucial are these lines, and the fact that pakistan right now has stopped the flow of goods going back and forth? how will that impact the effort, if you will, in afghanistan? >> well, the supply lines are important. but there are stockpiles in afghanistan. so, it's not the first time that there have has been trouble on the supply lines. earlier in the week, a nato convoy was attacked, a fuel convoy in pakistan. so the supply lines are important. it's also important to have intelligence and the united states and pakistan do share intelligence. and it's important to work together controlling the border. an

[laughter] had never seen another of her species, had never been in love, but fell in love with wesley. but she wasn't supposed to fall in love with someone of another species, certainly, and she happened to be guided by a nanny who was an evil shape shifter, so it got a little tense for a while. [laughter] and that was my scientific/spiritual episode of "star trek: the next generation." >> okay. a couple of questions that came from "the washington post" which we're obliged to share, and you both have to take a swing at these. the first one is, for those of us who put faith in science, what constructive responses can we make to statements by those without scientific training who attack scientific findings? for example, how should we respond to those that claim that hurricanes are the wrath of god? >> true education. >> just education. >> yeah. >> through education. >> i mean, religious people do this all the time. they attribute -- a coincidence happens, oh, god just made this coincidence happen. i just rap into my old friend, must have been god's work. >> there's no solution other tha

. >>> general wesley clark is a former candidate for president and former nate f. advising the obama campaign now. which slips would you be most worried about if they were president. >> i haven't taken position it is like this. i will tell you this. it's been very hard for all these candidates to get to the right flank of president obama in my view. i'm not part of this administration, and i think he's taken a strong, robust and centrist position. what you've seen is solid candidates trying to get to his right flank? >> who didn't do as well as others. >> you have to great these candidates based on their experience from some of the them, much is experted, and from others like herman cain, who hasn't had much experience in foreign affairs, if any, he's on a very steep learning curve. >> was that evident last night? >> from american democracy, people would have looked at this and said, boy, those americans know what they're doing. i'm just -- i'm sorry that the super economiee couldn't project the same level of competent in governance around the world. >> general, le

joining me now are general wesley clark, former nato supreme allied commander and former presidential. and colonel lawrence wilkerson, former chief of staff to the secretary of state colin powell. general clark, this was the foreign policy debate tonight. what did you hear that gave you any confidence that one of these candidates could actually handle the job of commander in chief? >> well, i thought it was a good debate. i thought it was well moderated. i thought each of the candidates tried to demonstrate command of the facts and the appreciation for some of the nuances of the issue. so i thought it was a measurable step way up the ladder beyond what i've seen in the past. that having been said, you know, there were the sort of ritual empty rhetoric hits at our president.ç what i saw was it was pretty hard for the candidates to get beyond the very centrist, strong, robust foreign policy that the president's put in place. they had a pretty tough time doing it and it took some -- it took some ancillary issues like immigration to show some extreme positions out there. beyond that, i t
