states navy taking the lead in fisheries development and working with fishermen in west africa to increase their economic opportunities. and if we will frame issues in terms of security challenges and there's all of these threats to our security, then we have to accept that the military is going to take a lead and we now have an -- doing some research on what i was going to say today. and it leads us to, well, a sort of blending. we've got the national security agency doing spying abroad and here. we're not quite sure everything that's going on. it leads us to accept a level of lack of accountability on military affairs because, well, the world's a dangerous place and we have to just sort of accept that this it is how things are going to be. and i think in the context of lack of faith in our own democratic institutions, this creates a very serious problem. i think i saw last week that the latest pew poll had trust in government about somewhere around 20%, which means that a large core of obama's supporters including me don't really have a lot of faith in the way things in washington is bro

united states navy is working with officials in turkey to investigate a mob assault on three u.s. sailors. the pentagon said it happened yesterday in istanbul at the hands of a left wing political group. attack was caught on camera and later posted to you tube. >> because we say you are murderers as killers, we want you to get out of our land. >> go home! go home! go home! >> go home yankee was the chant there. joining us now, nbc news chief pentagon correspondent jim miklaszewski. the video gets worse as we cut to you. we'll recue that. >> reporter: officials at the pentagon call the attack reprehensible and grateful it escalate any further than it did. these sailors were on shore leave from the uss destroyer ross that pulled into istanbul. it's the turkish group union anti-government, strongly anti-u.s. group of radicals there in turkey that were just laying for anybody to come off that ship and even though these sailors were not in uniform they were easily identifiable. at first it was just the taunts, go home yankee, murderers, killers. but it quickly escalated into a physical

how long before it's armed with nuclear-tip missiles that can threaten the united states? >>> and navy s.e.a.l. investigated. he was part of the bin laden raid and wrote a book about it. but if secrets were spilled, could the federal government soon throw the book at him? i'm wolf blitzer. you're in "the situation room." we're tracking several major stories. chief among them, the midterm elections. we've transformed "the situation room" into cnn's election center. there's a final whirl of campaigning with the first polls opening just seven hours from now. the entire house of representatives is up for grabs, along with three dozen governorships and a huge array of state and local posts. but all eyes right now are on the u.s. senate. 36 seats are being contested but just a handful will determine whether the senate stays democratic or if republicans gain control. the gop needs to pick up six seats. the latest poll suggest that goal is certainly within reach. our correspondents and our analysts are standing by. we'll go live to the key battlegrounds and hear gloria borger's ex

states navy and this was going on when the iranian hostage crisis at that point. what some of us advocated for which would have been rejected is that we would jet set up our naval base in israel and be who we are as a people. i am a supporter of israel. definitely, we could hold more sway in that region and more cost-effective way. and obviously, that got rejected. it's not going to happen to this day. but i would have much better preferred over these last few decades we had indeed done that. host: thanks, caller. >> guest: i understand the sentiment. you probably know, the u.s. navy has a stronging presence in the gulf in bahrain, and there are ship visits across both the mediterranean and the gulf. i think one of the big problems with tying ourselves that closely with israel is it makes it almost impossible to play honest broker between the israelis and the palestinians in that conflict. and i think it would expose the u.s. to force detection problems. it's an interesting idea but i think one that was probably avoided with good thinking. >> myo, go ahead. >> my

states, the u.s. navy issued a quote: turkey condemned the attack as a disrespectful act and was in no way tolerated. sailors are on their ship after shore leaf was cancelled and the ship is planning to return to its home port in spain tomorrow. turkish police crowned up 12 suspects in the incident. the pentagon dismissed the incident as a 1-off by street thugs, and said that istanbul is a popular point of call for u.s. navy ships and the hospitality extended to american sailors >>> jimmie mcintyre reporting. >>> more protests in mexico over the disappearance of 43 students. protestors ransacked a government building, demanding that the president resign. demonstrators say pena nieto's tolerance of this is part of the problem. adam raney reports. >> we have seen the third straight day of violent protests in guerrero. here on wednesday, they torched the chamber of the state congress and set on fire a library. the officers and the rooms in this state congress were empty. there's no session. but shows the

states its t wo-ocean navy and the largest navy in the world. so, he goes back to the united states. this is 1919. it turns out that the republicans had taken control of elections.s, midterm by the time -- he had tried before he went to france in late winter, early spring, he had tried to get the lame-duck session of congress, which was still controlled by the democrats, to fund the next installment of the building program. they dragged their feet. the war was ending. they did not want to commit to the amount of money daniels was asking for. and so, the issue is rolled over into the next congress and the republicans, after this torturous set of negotiations in london, congress will not fund the naval-building program. and so, it becomes the harding administration's problem to following the 1920 election. now, another question that i received related to the 1920 earlier in the ,nterview that i did on c-span the question came up of what role did franklin -- franklin delano roosevelt play in daniels' tenure as secretary of the navy? i will start at
