"Debating about it, ummm ... Some of the worst things that happened you don't know about, okay? Videos, um, there are women there.

The women were passing messages out saying 'Please come and kill me, because of what's happened' and basically what happened is that those women who were arrested with young boys, children in cases that have been recorded.

"It's impossible to say to yourself how did we get there? Who are we? Who are these people that sent us there? When I did My Lai I was very troubled like anybody in his right mind would be about what happened.

When it comes to holding people accountable for the crimes, Obama's policy (excuse) of 'not looking back and moving on' is very disappointing.
