what i thought of begin with this sort of why bill mullen and i wanted to write this book. a lot of, how we remember war is so important and there's so many books, for example, about the battle of fallujah, and properly so. when it comes to the city of fallujah it hasn't iconic stat status. but when fallujah was finally won in 2007 from our perspective, victory wasn't a thundercloud. it was more of a whimper. partly for that reason it wasn't covered that much by the media. the word many books written about it. by the end of the day it's also more important to you finish it wasn't sometimes how you started. one of the primary reasons we wanted to club it on this book is a tells what we felt a become a sort of a final chapter of fallujah and how eventually the u.s. forces learned a lot about iraqi culture, a lot about counterinsurgency, and there's a process of learning within the military after repeated tours that eventually we had an interesting of what was required to bring stability to fallujah. and may provide lessons for the future not just against isis but other groups

andrea mullen who lives in elkton, virginia was captured in washington township gloucester county. police say her 1997 dodge caravan was used in a robbery in virginia. mullen's boyfriend, richard smith, is suspected of murdering an 80-year-old man, then stealing his car. smith and the car have not yet been found. >> it is 5:05 and protesters say a market in philadelphia's point breeze section is selling bb guns to minors. these protesters say that is against city ordinances. the protesters gathered last night outside the business itself the point safe supermarket at point breeze and la tonya avenue. kids said they got their bb guns from the point state market. councilman kenyatta johnson plans to have l and i look into these allegations. >> it's disgusting. you have a business that's selling bb guns to children and some of the children could be mistaken as using a real gun to possibly be murdered. >> the owner of the point safe market would not talk to reporters and the store closed early last night. >> investigators suspect a fire at a berks county school is a case of arson. flame

we all know admiral mullen's service to our nation and we need to take his analysis seriously. i believe this database will help us remain accountable for the questions we have already answered and the facts. i would like the committee to move forward to see what do we need to do in the future so we never have a situation where the military cannot respond in time. especially as to risk analysis shows in the case of the 9/11 date that there may be increased risk. why would we not put our military on some sort of an alert status so they could respond in time should ever a situation like this be happening again and that's my focus. let's stop talking about whether or not those f-16s could have returned in time, could have deployed in time to protect benghazi in 2012 and let's talk about what do we need to do so they can be there in time in case our diplomats and american lives are ever put at risk again. thank you. i'd like to turn it back over to mr. cummings. >> thank you very much. as you know, tomorrow we will be holding a hearing, first hearing, with regard to the recommendat

you really need to talk to colonel mullen. he's the man in charge of the city and you are too but he is too. frankly he didn't need much encouragement. he had standing in the city so once things started happening and the reconstruction team arrived and state representatives usaid of who partner with her bare helped him write a budget and worked with the provincial government to regularize deployment. >> one of the amazing things was usaid was working with us throughout the deployment and we were starting projects. we would check on the projects and as things turned of the city towards august and september and into october we started seeing other projects. it would come up and we would say who's doing that one? it one? it turns out the people themselves were. you start to clean the area up and started to do things that were amazing. that was good to see. >> i have a suggestion for your next project. from fallujah to ferguson. you will even have the same equipment unfortunately. [laughter] >> we have time for one more question.

so howie had the rival gang called the mullens. it was the mullens about to prevail. and the mullens' guys think they're about to get the lion's share of everything and howie threw them for a loop when he announced jimmy bulger will front money for them, put money on the street, loan shark, do a gambling operation but whitey is going to be in charge. and the mullens guys are going are you kidding me? we were winning. and tommy king a member of the mullens, said we should have killed whitey when we had the chance. because this is going to come back to bite us. >> everybody knew everybody, watched out for everybody. it was great, we didn't have a lot but we had a lot of fun with what we had. both of my brothers went to harvard, i was the only male at home. i knew how to fight. i was kind of handy. i started working bouncing, ended up in triple o's. it was the neighborhood bar. kind of a rough bar. that is where i met jim bulger. i was 18 at the time. jim was like an older brother, guiding me through the mine field and stuff. teaching me a lot as i went. when i first sta

admiral mullen at that time was the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. he wanted an office set up because he and his wife recognized that there were challenges of transitioning and reintegrating for our veterans and our military families. and he wanted an office that specifically went out travelled the country and matched the donor to the need. because everybody wanted to do something but he wanted an office that'd be able to focus all of this desire on what is it that our veterans and families need. so, we didn't really, quite frankly, lay out what we saw as a successful model for transitioning or integrate/ reintegration. which was an education, meaningful employment, and an access to healthcare, which includes information and options. and one of the things that is key to making that work is everyone has to work together. the community has to come together within a community, a collective impact where it's a wrap around approach. educators have to talk to them employers. employers have to talk to-- so, sorry for interrupting we'll come back to the othe

mike mullen, former chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. i know you love armchair generals and admirals, so i will try not to make you play that armchair aspect of this. admiral, i want you to react to something this week in testimony in front of the intelligence committee. he was talking about the u.s. not taking anything off the table when it comes to combat troops. if we put any restrictions on how much time we commit to it or if we say there are certain elements of our national power that we're going to take off the table, it can work against us in building the coalition we're trying to destroy. will they be more hesitant to commit if the u.s. is not committing ground troops? >> i think they'll commit to the mission as they understand it. i think what you heard general maddux say is don't take any options off the table. i think when general dempsey, our current chairman, anticipating a question at a hearing that he'd be asked about ground troops took it off the table from his opening statement from the standpoint if the circumstances wa

i wasn't making any subjective judgment on admiral mullen. i was simply stating the facts. the precepts of regulations the arb cannot discuss the proceedings outside of the arb admiral mullen admitted he did that. it's a statement of fact it is not a subjective judgment. >> in legal terms that collects partake communication. what is a special mission compound? >> i don't know. to be honest a i reviewed undersecretary kennedy and authorizing that made up that term in order to avoid security standards. >> is an interesting thing is today in her office we did a nexis lexis search of special mission compound, not benghazi. there may be other ways to search and there may be ways to look out over the landscape but the result of looking for that term yielded nothing. throughout all those datafiles all across the printed plane absolutely nothing. so what does it mean if something is simply redefined? what does it mean if something is said we are just going to declare this as something other than that which is to be regulated? that means you have no regulations. isn't that right? >>
