ambassador to the united nations john bolton, a fox news contributor and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. ambassador, what do you think went so wrong to get to this point? >> well, i think the obama administration decision some years ago to withdraw all american forces removed the critical political stabilizing force inside iraq. it wasn't that the force was so large but that it represented america's commitment to iraqis, whether they are kurds or sunni arabs or shiia arabs to form a responsible government. ant when we left malaki and his masters in iran had a free ride and over the past several years malaki has shown he's incapable of governing a fully confessional iraq, and, therefore, the al qaeda extremists, the isil, this group that's now on the move took advantage of sunni discontent and that's why we're here. that goes to the basic point. once the obama administration made the decision to withdraw american forces, i think we'd have to say, we can certainly say with 20/20 hindsight what we're seeing today is inevitable. >> one of the reasons the forces was with

ambassador to the united nations john bolton, fox news contributor and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute who is in boston this morning. good morning, ambassador. >> glad to be with you. >> do you think sergeant bergdahl should eventually face military justice? >> i think based on the information that's publicly available certainly that's a possibility. he's entitled to give his side of it. we'll see what happens, but this is -- this is i think very much an issue that we're going to have to confront, and it raises questions about what exactly the president knew about sergeant bergdahl before he agreed to this trade. i think that's very important. >> what do you think the president knew and what troubles you most about bergdahl's history and the reports of that considering the president may or may not have known about this going into this deal. >> well, it would be stunning to me if the president didn't know about this history. now, that's not to say that that msnbc you just leave bergdahl behind but it certainly raises the question of exactly what benefit the united s

ambassador john bolton joins us. what a mess. >> it is a mess. i think the basic cause is the absence of any american leverage over the al maliki government. i thought it was very interesting that secretary clinton said in your interview that al maliki had failed in his responsibility to put together a unified rickenbacker. >> i completely agree with that it is functionally a puppet of iran and i think the conflict between isis and the maliki regime is analogous to the iran, iraq war of the 1980s when henry kissinger said it's too bad both sides can't lose. >> i don't know how iran can lose in this because they have aligned themselves with al maliki and isis, isis coming out of syria and heading down to baghdad. they have got two teams playing against each other here. >> he will with, i think the iranians have potentially have isis in a nutcracker. they have assaad on one side and al maliki on the other. i think this attack by isis well-planned and well executed to be short so far the question is whether it's sustainable. and if these 3,000 isis

ambassador to the united nations, john bolton, a fox news contributor and senior fellow at the american enterprise institute. ambassador, good morning, good afternoon. there's understandable joy, celebration and relief with the sergeant's release but was this swap in, your view, a wise move in. >> personally you can understand the family's reaction but the swap's a very bad move at several levels. first, it demonstrates that the president is clearing the decks in afghanistan. i think this is a signal to the taliban he wants out. he wants out before the end of 2016, and he's not going to let anything like the prohibition or the paradigm against negotiating with terrorists stand in his way. second, this -- this is a real example of moral equivalency, that five terrorists are exchanged for an american soldier. it's as if the taliban are the same as an american service member and since nothing could be farther from the truth there it gives the taliban a signal that sends the wrong message around the world. >> we just heard susan rites this morning on one of the news shows saying that the ad

and fox news contributor john bolton. good evening, ambassador. what is america's interest, if any, in iraq today. >> well, i think we have a very substantial interest in the conflict we see unfolding in front of us and how it comes out. that doesn't mean getting involved momentarily on one side or the other. i think if you calculate what's most at stake in the broad erie john, it's still a threat from iran, from its nuclear weapons program, from its financing and arming of terrorists around the world. so that's one reason i would not put military advisers in or otherwise cooperate with the regime, which is effectively a subsidiary of the ayatollahs in iraq. >> why would we send 300 advisers to help maliki when we're supporting the shiites, who are essentially iran? >> right. under the control of iran, at least the maliki government -- now, even the shiites are div e divided and some have called for maliki to be replaced. and that would be a step forward. you're right, isis is, if anything, worse than al qaeda in terms of its terrorist threat, but

john bolton. he come back, one for five. we give them five gitmo detainees, high edge taliban. a good deal? >> i know people are happy that bergdahl is being released, that's understandable. the president has sent the taliban an unmistakable signal that he will pay any price to get the united states out. that's a signal that's bad for taliban and al qaeda to hear and our adversaries around the world. and perhaps even worse, it is despicable for a president of the united states to grant morning equivalence to these terrorists and gitmo compared to an american service member. the idea that there is any equivalence at all between an american soldier and a terrorist i think is reprehensible. yet that's what he's done by traigd terrorists for a prisoner of war. >> ambassador, it is even worse. the idea that these guys are going to qatar and qatar will make sure they never get out to attack us after we know that they've attacked us or been involved in attacks us on. we know that we jail them and i'm sure they're not happy about that. so he is putting us in jeopardy, is he not? >> he

ambassador john bolton joins us. good evening, sir. do you have any idea what this deal is to watch these five? >> >> i think the deal is incredibly vague. i think we have already heard from people in the persian gulf region that they are going to be well provided for in qatar. they are going to roam free essentially for a year. almost certainly go back to afghanistan or thereafter. i think this is a license for them to get back involved in terrorist activity. the notion that he they are somehow to be restrained i think it's delusional to think there will be any meaningful limitation on what they can do. >> here is the answer the state department spokesperson gave in part today. it says we received sufficient assurances from the government of qatar that mitigated the risk here. led to the fact that we would be able to bring our one american pow in afghanistan at home. without going into the discussion whether he is a pow or not. that's the most we can get out of the state department, which is zero. >> it's gobble gobbledygook. we are g

>> well, i think i agree with general petraeus and mike hayden and ambassador john bolton that both say we reserve our efforts and not become a shia air force or, in this case, an iranian air force. we have to be careful. make no mistake, we can use air power, we can take them out, we can do it without ground facts. it's obvious that the tanks in mosul or other cities, they're enemies so we don't need the ground troops on the ground on this one. but unless maliki brings the sunnies and the kurds back into the government, and you have a coalition government that can 1fh only helping iran and that's why i'm very, very reluctant to want to do that, and would say no on air power right now. >> hmm. what about just the idea of forming a more coalition, more of a normal government, maybe the problem is the guy at the head of the government? maybe maliki has to go and we can't make headway here unless and until he does. >> that's my bottom line. until maliki goes, and you get a leader that can bring a coalition together, then we shouldn't help them. if he does that, and he doesn't lean into ira

i simply said get them to tell john. maybe that will help. it was a simple 15-second comment and conversation and she somehow made it to be a condition and made a big mistake i am not the john bolton spokesman. >> she said you raised it first but "new york times" stands by the story. >> i never asked for a correction because who cares? >> thanks for stopping by, today. when we come back, how did bret and greta prepare for the big hillary clinton interview? why has the coverage of the washington redskins name furor turned so partisan? and why does washington nay and why does washington nay sayers turn so at his current p, bob will retire when he's 153, which would be fine if bob were a vampire. but he's not. ♪ he's an architect with two kids and a mortgage. luckily, he found someone who gave him a fresh perspective on his portfolio. and with some planning and effort, hopefully bob can retire at a more appropriate age. it's not rocket science. it's just common sense. from td ameritrade. it's just common sense. when folks think about wthey thi

even john bolton thinks we should stay out of it. and then there are the dead enders, to borrow a phrase, the people who dealt with the sheer magnitude by simply doubling down, their method is to scream even louder they are right because to allow a little truth to work piets way in would annihilatetheir sense of the world and those in it. at the top of this list when it comes to the iraq debacle was of course this man and his daughter. >> al qaeda, a resurgent establishing new safe havens across the middle east, including an iraq where president obama withdrew all american forces with no stay-behind agreement. >> former vice president cheney and his daughter liz. they wrote a wall street journal op-ed condemning president obama approach to iraq. it's unclear whether they meant it to be a self-parody. it includes lines like this "rarely has a president been so wrong about so much about so many." it seems like a just society would have done something formal to sanction a person for what he did but in the absence of that, we can take co

bolton and later worked on romney's campaign. i want to go back to 2009, to the soldiers who bowe bergdahl worked with in that tiny outpost they built in afghanistan. we had sean smith on the other day, photographer and videographer who produced a film back in 2009 as well as one in which i doubt and met bob bergdahl, which we also played and i encourage people to go to democracynow.org to see all of that. sean smith spent a month embedded with the unit in afghanistan. in this clip, we hear from some of the soldiers stationed with bowe. >> these people just want to be left alone. talks they got dicked by the russians for 17 years and now we are here. >> these people just want to be left alone. crops, weddings, stuff like that. >> i will be glad when we leave them alone. >> a few weeks later, bowe bergdahl disappeared. the circumstances are unclear. >> that is from the 2009 video for "the guardian" produced by sean smith. michael hastings would further right about that the late reporter for "rolling stone." brock mcintosh, can you

never would i think, if you think back ten years, you see john bolton, doug feiss, paul wolfowitz on television attacking somebody about iraq. dick cheney, of course. i should have mentioned him. but you listen, like ridi said, rubio, cruz, not a lot of clear cut statements beyond this is going wrong, obama is not handling it well. i think that's where they're going to say. and i think even hillary clinton has been very careful in what she said, as well. this is a complicated situation. when you're the president, you get blamed for everything and everything is your problem. when you're a candidate and you're a senator, dwrur not and it's often wise to stay out of being too precise. >> yeah. this generic criticism for obama is a safe place for the gop. we have heard from the mccain slk graham wing of the republican party and all of their criticism and how they think should be be more involved even as they fail to be particularly specific. but we haven't heard much from this rising more libertarian wing that we've heard a lot about and talked a lot about and is this a new direction for

one thing that is successful as our colleague john bolton came up with the idea for nonproliferation initiative which has a system but there's no formal treaty. there's no formal place where they need. the governments coordinate their actions politically to try to stop the proliferation of wmd technology and are staying quite successful and i would think that would be the way to go to start studying those kinds of successful in formal methods of corporation. it doesn't have the russians or chinese involved and they are not vetoing north korean freighters with hidden nuclear material on them. if that has been a success we should study that more closely and use that as a model to really build a new kind of concert of democracies. if you get rid of your charger you replace it with nothing and i think you'll have these problems up whenever any war is legitimate everyone will say that may intervened when a war is legitimate. the russians are saying the invasion of ukraine is legitimate under international law because they are protecting russian citizens although it sounds what hitler said

ambassador john bolton says reagan was wrong to negotiate for those hostages. we shouldn't do that. we don't do that. it suggests a lack of american strength. >> shouldn't is different than we don't. i understand your point to be sure. ellis, let's cover both points. margaret talked about the fact that the obama administration went around congress because they knew congress would get in the way if they went through congress. i don't think the constitution has a stipulation that if congress is a pain in the neck, the president can go around them. >> there's not much of an enforcement mechanism. they've done it. you can complain about it. maybe the legal scholars can debate where those lines are. highly sensitive thing. genuine life at risk. most americans would say, you know what? under these circumstances do what you have to do. >> there's always a life at risk when you have a prisoner of war. that is a life at risk. >> what about the future lives at risk? >> margaret does a terrific job presenting the argument and rhetoric around the idea of not dealing with terrorists or hostage t

am bass store john bolton is the former ambassador to the u.n. why do you think that would be, in the past the pentagon and the cia said it's not worth the going in there frankly for somebody we think may have been a deserter. then it all changed. >> i think that it's a question whether the president is consulting with his top national security advisers or informing them. two years of go they may have asked the question. this year it's very clear the president wants out of afghanistan. he wanted this prisoner back. i think even more importantly he wanted to give these five prisoners from gitmo * over to taliban as a sign of good faith. when the president says this is what i'm going to do, somebody like chuck hagel or somebody at the cia has to say okay, they can fight on principle or resign. there has been no change in the status of the five gitmo prisoners and no change in bergdahl's status. martha: to convince people you did the right thing you have to say what susan rice said on sunt day shows. that he served with honor and he was dying. she s

ambassador john bolton is with us. it is tough to stand up there and defend the doubletalk. is how we appear to the rest of the world. >> children are wonderful. and that is strong stuff. stuart: that is strong stuff. >> the state department spokespeople under john kerry have been more partisan than any in my experience since my first involvement in government in the reagan administration and the clip that has gone around on youtube is soldiers who fought with bergdahl in afghanistan don't know what they are talking about when they say he left his post and deserted and said bergdahl knows best what happened that night. it is humorous in a sense because it is so inane but it will be increasingly serious because it is part of what seems to be and obama white house campaign to indians as soldiers who are trying to explain what happened when bergdahl walked off the base. stuart: what is vladimir putin going to say? what does the leader of china think whhn he sees america represented in this way and getting into this kind of mess? what do the terrorists think about that performan

john bolton, for example, was a recess appointment under president bush to, you know, as our ambassador. but the question here was whether or not there was gamesmanship going on, whether or not the senate was really not in recess, when those national labor relation board appointments were made, and they were very controversial at the time. now that the court has said that one doesn't count -- bill: so we win on four wig -- big ones. >>> is the mainstream media looking the other way on the irs targeting scandal? >> just three and a half minutes combined on all the network newscasts. unbelievable. that is a news blackout. bill: bill o'reilly going after media in america, claiming they are hiding the truth in order to protect president. we're going to debate that, play a little more for you too. martha: plus, what americans think about prosecuting the captured benghazi suspect. should he be in a criminal court, or should he be handled as an enemy combatant? the results of a very interesting new poll on this person who's in custody coming up next. bill: also, this 12-year-old boy disappeari
