media who by the way came out of the woodwork to criticize hastings for his report that got general mcchrystal fired you know the media at least on the corporate side has made it clear whose side they represent now i think michael hastings journalism you know threatened and offended him because he told the truth and he told the truth about the people who were signing the paychecks essentially so they had a lot of grudges against anything now i think as far as that particular angle you know michael hastings was an embedded work order he was prescribed medical marijuana because medical marijuana can do your p.t.s.d. i think the conversation could have also been about all the veterans who come home you know who witnessed the things overseas michael hastings saw his work order any of these are really real issues that people need to talk about dismissing people like michael hastings who was you know trying to deal with a medical condition and dismissing them as junkies you know trying to understand what they were going through and maybe how it led to led to their death right it's just such a pathet

general stanley mcchrystal, for example, begançó to understand n afghanistan that it was not about you couldn't kill all radicals, you had to have a policy that showed you have some concern in terms of targeting drones, not calling on drones in the middle of the night and all things. >> stanÑi mcchrystal's whole theory was the war for hearts and minds was just as important as the war for killing the bad guys. ifçó you couldn't guarantee security, if you couldn't get the water going, if you couldn't make electricity come on for at least part of the day people weren't going to believe that you wereçó the answer to anythi. >> and killing one terrorist and his family would produce 20pvern influenced by that and radicalized by that was a negative consequence >> he brought the closest thing we've mean? war to community policing and it wasn't all that popular among people in this community because they said we're taking hits and turning the other cheek. >> rose: and you're not letting us go. >> exactly. so the idea was hearts and minds are important and i guess the argument against the d

it reminded me of general mcchrystal making a recommendation on numbers. before he made his recommendation -- political leaders seeking political advice from the military rather than pure military advice. even if you go back to afghan -- vietnam, that has always been the case, but no less troubling today. we have a question from the audience that was one of my favorite questions. it is something. i have been shot at from the pakistani side of the order. i pressed president musharraf are on this question. the cia said if you let them operate on pakistani soil they could find osama bin laden. i said, you are the president, you can say whatever you like. and where was osama bin laden found? who found him, by the way? i know this is something you spent a lot of time on. it is a question that i think is extremely important. president karzai annoyed a lot of americans saying, you're in the wrong villages, you should be across the border. what people still need to understand about what he is saying is you and i both know the problem lies in the safe havens in pak
