we have seen unspeakable things and it is continuing now in the fifth year. >> we are entering the fifth year. 200,000 civilians have been killed. what is not working. well the effort to build a rebel movement into a cohesive front failed become entirely. in the last year most of the rebels have been swept aside by islamist groups. as we have been talking about, nusra has taken most of idlib province, and is powerful in the south. i.s.i.s. controls a third of syria, and the islamic front - it is not sanctions as a terrorist group. it has objectionable goals. it's behind the reach of the united states. the so-called area has largely been defeated. that is partly because they are clan based, cover a few villages, but but don't have real reach. islamism is the dominant ideology na mobilizes money from the gulf that gets the foreign fighters. they are the tough front. and america is bombing them. america turned. almost 10080 degrees from being an enemy at bashar al-assad to weakening him, to today bombing many opponents. in a sense adopting bashar al-assad as a strat onlyingic ally -- strat

our enemies and allies alike must know that aggressors will pay an unspeakable price for challenging the united states. the best way to impose that price is global military dominance. when it comes to war narrow margins are not enough. for they are nothing more than an invitation to war. we must have such strength that no sane adversary would ever imagine challenging the united states. good enough is not and will never be good enough. we can look to a very recent historic example to prove this point. just 25 years ago a dominant american military ended the cold war without firing a shot. if we return to the dominance of that ear rising powers like china and state sponsors of terrorism will think long and harped before crossing us. and while we may not deter terrorist groups like the islamic state and hezbollah we will kill their adherents more effectively and sending a needed lesson to their sympathizers. join and you too will die. being prepared for war will no doubt take a lot of money biwhat could be a higher priority than a safe and prosperous america leading a stable and orderly

that's why frederick douglas concluded that his words to the colored people lincoln's death was an unspeakable calamity. the assassination had opened the eyes of these radicals, both black and white, to the necessity of revolutionary policies following confederate defeat on the battlefield. because defeated confederates who held political power could still win the war off the battlefield. two years later, when the radical republicans in congress overrode the policies of president johnson to implement their program of radical reconstruction, lincoln's mourners were not avenging lincoln's death. instead, as they made clear after the assassination, they wanted to avenge secession and war, and the cause of the war. slavery. which they also understood to be the root cause of lincoln's assassination. of course, that stunning moment of black equality and democracy known as radical reconstruction was accompanied by the birth of the good looks glam. by the end of reconstruct -- the ku klux klan. him him -- as a read through confederate diaries, i found sentiments of white southerners from later decades

this is one of those unspeakably sad moments where we look for a solution and there may not be an obvious solution. it makes sense for the airlines to require there be two people in the cockpit, but that doesn't guaranty anything. if you have somebody that is determined to do this, there's nothing that would have said the co-pilot couldn't have stood up and knocked out the pilot and then locked the door and had exactly the same kind of consequences. sit a fact that you are putting your faith in people that you don't know. it's scary and sad, but i'm not sure there's a lot that can be done about it. >> there is, and we need to emphasize, no indication of a link to terror. the only interesting thing we learned about the co-pilot is he had taken some time off recently because of depression. i'm sure there are plenty of pilots that take time off for various listens and they are cleared and go back to flying. but it does at least raise the specter if you had a pilot with an idealogical agenda, this could become a terrible weapon. >> it could. you assume that airlines and governments would lear
