. >> she has a small legacy with burma, a positive. but she has a legacy with libya which is at best incomplete and legacy with syria which is seriously worrying. in many ways the big issue of her time as secretary of state was this arab upheaval that happened on her watch. so far, the u.s. record has not been very good and we have not been leading for the most part. and we have left a lot of problems for the future. >> supporters say clinton leverageed her unique star power and global rolodex to elevate and advance a set of issues important to her, including gender equality, environment and tech no and social media. >> i would like to recognize tremendous commitment and dedication you have shown to re-establishing the united states. not just as an indispensable power but as an indispensable partner. >> whether hillary clinton is remembered alongside the likes of atchison, kissinger, schultz and baker may be a function of how much power she was entrusted with by the one-time rival for presidency. >> the military owned afghanistan and i

be a calm swan song enabling the outgoing secretary of state to bask over her work in countrys like burma. instead, both spent much of their time in asia intensively dialing up mideast leaders. the president speaking with morsi three times in 24 hours. including aboard air force one on the way home to america. the president tan secretary both been on the phone, nonstop with regional leaders for a number of days. the purpose of her trip is to continue and intensify that engagement now face to face. >> the stakes for the president are enormous on the eaves of a second term. with analysts warping it may be the beginning of a much wider conflict between israel and iran. >> there is rise of al-qaeda and radical islam in the middle east that have taken advantage of the re-lutionnary change sweeping through the region. in the shadows here is the number one national security challenge, iran. >> for stability, the u.s. is relying on shaky morsi, member of the muslim brotherhood. two months after president said egypt is no longer an ally. morsi today but showing leadership. two days a the republica

now the president makes phone calls from burma? we have dramatically changed, and i can tell you begin, al-qaeda is on the rise, and they are moving throughout the middle east and americans are -- we're going to pay a very heavy price for it because of the lack of american leadership. >> what should president obama be saying to the prime minister of turkey? >> excuse me, sir, but you're not telling the truth. well, i would have a private conversation with him, the president should, but publicly the president should absolutely rebuke that statement. the state department spokesperson today refused to do that. you can't let those kinds of things be said about a democratic state that's under rocket attack, and it's all got to do with the desire to be the leader of the arab world. i don't blame him for wanting to do that, but when he goes to these lengths, he has to be repudiated, and if he really believes that, it obviously has to affect our relations with the country. >> what should secretary of state hillary clinton be doing, or is t

as you point out this is the first time a sitting american president has visited burma and cambodia. you have secretary clinton who is there, defense secretary panetta. the other thing we've got to remember is this is not the only part of the world that needs attention, because while we are looking at asia and that is a really good thing the chinese are trying to take one of our bases in the azors, and if they do that they will be dominant in the atlanta atlantic. jenna: which base is that. >> own an island called tecerra where we are going to cutback and call it a ghost base. the chinese are looking, they want that base. from that base they can control the mediterranean, interdict shipping in the atlantic and they are only 3,200 miles from where we are sitting in new york. jenna: what is stopping them? nothing will stop them if we decide to leave that race because of budget reasons. that's why sequestration is so important because the military is holding down fort around the world where we rely on our security. jenna: we'll have to pay closer attention to that. i want to ask you as

>>heather: and now a quick check of the headlines, with a strong earthquake in burma killing a dozen people with your damage reported to temples. another nato service member has been killed by an insider attack in afghanistan. the service mobile's nationality has not been released. california senator feinstein telling fox news sunday the intelligence committee has questions about the extramarital affair of c.i.a. director petraeus. that before is on fox news sunday coming up at 6:00 p.m. eastern. >>gregg: and now the campaign insiders. congressman when you look at the final electoral vote, romney and the republicans got bumped and spanked in the senate races. so, what is the future of the republican party? is the brand tainted? john: damaged and tainted. but sometimes the way to fix something is to recognize you have a problem. i went on friday to long island which is republican territory, roosevelt field, i went to the apple store to look at a computer. i was standing there waiting to be waited on and i looked at the people that came in there in suburban long island. they were black

>> brian: 84 new people in the house and they feel like three weeks and the president goes to burma. >> steve: they will pass a band aid in the lame duck and then the new congress will have to fix it. mitch mcconnell will head up the republican side and he's very clear about taxes. one issue i never have been conflicted about was taxings. i wasn't sent to congress to raise taxs and this election doesn't change my principles it is clear if the president of the united states want to get something done he has to do it with no new taxings. read the republicans new lips. no new you whan? >> by the way. the president has more incentive to not rae taxes. the nonpartisan congressional budget said tax hikes with the spending cuts would the count rope back in a recession and they predict unemployment would increase to 9.1 percent. if there is any inducement to get it done. it is the cbo. >> brian: people forget tax cuts are involved and not just budget cuts. take a look at surveillance pictures. f.b.i. accounts this is it. ak 47 bandit that struck this time in idaho. he used assault rifle and

he plans an overseas trip into burma, instead of staying home and bringing everybody to the oval office and pounding out an agreement? >> what the president has to do is to propose a budget, propose a plan. he didn't do it in the debt limit fight. he let one emerge from the negotiations. i don't think that's a presidential leadership. he needs to submit a program of what he wants to do and let the congress deal with it, which is its function. but i don't mean to imply that barack obama is going to govern as a moderate. i think during the session, he will ram through and in the ensuing months, a series of treaties that fundamentally compromise american sovereignty in important areas, like gun control and off-shore drilling. and carbon emissions. i think hingly push through a very far-left program, which i think he will do through legislation or executive order. >> greta: well, i suspect everyone will be watching, you know, as the days and weeks unfold. but we have to get past the fiscal cliff which is about to hit us in the head. dick, thank you itch thank you: >> greta: now to the bengh
