what are your sources in the white house and america's national security apparatus think about rodman's diplomacy? >> well, a lot of new diplomatic phrases, we've heard, never been heard before. last time he went over there, as soon as he got back, kim jong-un threatened to launch the missiles. we had a diplomatic crisis for months. so, i don't think dennis rodman did much good last time. of course, everybody is hoping that the american is released, if dennis rodman can do something towards that end, that's great. but nobody is counting on it. >> he'll be judged on his results. let me switch topics. as the controversy over that attack on the american outpost in benghazi gets more intense, what's the potential fallout for hillary clinton, the former secretary of state that may run for president in 2016? >> that's so far away. but it will certainly be something that people will look at. it may be far away, 2016. but this could very likely follow her into a presidential race, if she decides to run. especially those e-mails that were altered. no one is saying hillary clinton altered those e

the white house has extended america's security umbrella to include defending israel and the moderate arab states against the threat posed by iran's possible development and nuclear weapons. it is enlarging the u.s. military presence in asia with a new base in australia to deal with china's rights. to call all this isolationism is to mangle both language and logic. in fact, president obama's world view is rooted in american exceptionalism. you see, the fundamental pattern of international relations is that as a country becomes powerful, others gang up to bring it down. that's what happened to the habsburg empire, france and germ manny and the soviet union. one great exception to this rule in modern history. the united states. america has risen to global might and has not produced the balancing opposition that many would have predicted. in fact, the astonishing position of being the world's dominant power while many of the world's next most powerful nations, britain, france, germany, japan are all allied with it. the reason surely has something to do with the nature of america after ge
