Ret. Gen. Barry McCaffrey discusses what the U.S. military?s next move may be now that Army Staff Sgt. Robert Bales, who is suspected in the killing of 16 Afghan civilians, has been transferred to a pre-trial detention center.
>> more perspective on this, we turn to the military analyst barry mccaffrey who joins us from washington. general, taken by itself this is a horrible crime. when you add in other embarrassing and horrible missteps by u.s. forces over there, what's the impact to this country and to fellow soldiers?
>> well, it's hard to say. 17,000 killed a decade -- killed and wounded and a decade in combat, the country has grown tired of the war. karzai is a loose cannon . he's throwing kerosene on the glowing embers of this fire. i think we're likely to mark this as a turning point in the war. will the american people continue this, it's going to disappe disappear? the administration is in trouble. they have to get through the presidential election and not have it unravel on them. but i think we're going to start heading for the door.
>> barry mccaffrey , general, thank you very much.
