The launching.

So we're realists in the morning I was -- -- -- -- the show sure.

The German discarded on the -- -- being a loser terrorists.

No I must've missed that moment.

Or I intentionally blocked it out of my psyche -- I don't know why -- of them but -- -- -- Well -- -- do for a book and today -- stands.

Bright -- Kirk Kirk -- but -- we haven't had you -- We haven't done an -- resilient -- will check out.

That's right it what do we waste more time right now instead of doing the interview in.

Molex does the -- it's actually different -- Mexico.

Well I'm sorry and I'm modern in Mexico at a cattle ranch for little children have to -- monitor and anyway winners gonna -- today is so your your -- Show.

The -- is ballpark frank.

Lot easier if they get about by the way that the most interesting part of this whole story to me was the fact that he felt compelled to -- Bill Clinton.

To explain himself.

-- you can just imagine how that conversation went ring hello.

Mr.

President Anthony -- here -- I understand that you you have a little bit of a problem for tonight yeah Mr.

President actually I'm calling to a apologize and know how close you are to it to my wife and helpless Hillary is my.

So I I'm just calling to apologize.

Followed by an awkward pause crickets and Tumbleweed -- Bill Clinton says how does yankees.

Hat at.

Just like the blind leading the blind.

All of -- terms of what could be called -- apologize for copyright infringement.

-- but -- in the third.

By the way did you notice about two weeks ago Bill Clinton hit the town with Keith Richards.

Neither one of them has been heard from again -- So anybody ever.

Text there in your life on and if not -- of -- now.

Now and if they did anyone tell you are you on finish my -- and are -- on FaceBook not on FaceBook but on Twitter.

Yes.

So under offered her way -- -- -- -- times today.

Him yeah just -- right now -- -- I'm gonna be on the Fox Business to BBC radio radio nationwide.

To meet I just don't -- my profits but -- -- -- to White House fox and some.

There's so the president was gearing up.

Of his battered Afghanistan speech tomorrow.

What -- spiritual side.

Well I think he is balanced -- on politics his own party and as a police to withdraw at least partially so.

The question is what is he gonna do how many troops is -- going to announced.

In terms of withdrawal by the end of the summer.

Remember that when he announced the search I guess in November of of 09.

He -- a -- -- about 30000 extra troops into Afghanistan we're gonna see what unfolds there in terms of trying to turn this thing around.

And in the summer of 2011 we're gonna begin withdrawal so we simultaneously.

Announce the surge.

And the withdrawal which to pull the enemy all they had to do was wait us out.

Now the question is how many -- will he be withdrawing.

Probably anywhere between three and 101000 I would think I think his party wants him to withdraw a lot more but I think General David Petraeus.

Who is a national hero and a national treasure is telling what we are on the precipice of turning this thing around.

Don't pull the rug out from under our guy's turn around to report turn around to want.

Well that's a good question and I if I -- -- taught them well I've been revised sorry I just not gonna.

I'm sorry -- -- -- -- and that's okay apology accepted.

I you know I've been revising my thinking about this item and interventionist I believe in in the mission early on you had to dislodge al-Qaeda and the Taliban.

And deny.

Deny the terrorists -- real safe haven from which to launch attacks against the United States.

But in this case what what -- dramatic yeah -- -- -- what exposure from.

A thought to original mission was to kill some of the long enough for abortion -- yeah.

And ambassador of drugs and -- that we're gonna we're we're gonna -- we're gonna track Allison he's dead now he's data and help -- -- stood out.

This -- -- wrong I've man that was only part of the mission part of the mission was to attract Dennis on the lawn and and taken out as the symbolic head and operational head of al-Qaeda.

But the bigger mission was to deny the enemy is safe haven from which to launch attacks against the United States and our allies.

So the question is ten you really accomplished that ten you deny Afghanistan or frankly any other country.

And to be at it and make it a safe haven for these terrorists -- look you're dealing with -- -- ideological enemy.

Which is in practically every country in the world and their here in the United States would begin to do bond Detroit you're -- bomb New York City you've got al-Qaeda -- here.

You've got Muslim Brotherhood -- operatives here in the United States as well as in Yemen and Pakistan Western Europe.

So the question is how are we fighting this war are we fighting it strictly militarily will we should also be fighting it ideologically.

That's what I think is is the true solution here and neither bush.

Nor President Obama have really -- that.
