(CNN) The Marine Corps' fighting ability is undermined by the more than 30,000 active Marines and veterans involved in a private Facebook group being investigated for allegedly posting explicit photos of women in the military without their consent, a former Navy secretary told CNN on Friday. "There's no good excuse," Ray Mabus said on CNN's New Day. "The Marine motto is 'semper fidelis,' always faithful, and what these Marines did was to be unfaithful to their fellow Marines." "Marines look after each other, Marines have each other's back. Look at what the commandant of the Marine Corps said about this, this makes us a less effective fighting force," Mabus said, referring to a video statement posted Tuesday by Gen. Robert Neller.Ray Mabus: "What these Marines did was to be unfaithful to their fellow Marines"Investigation should determine how "Marines United" group developed, he said 
 Question:"These Marines, these veterans, that have participated in this have attacked fellow _, and that is inexcusable in a fighting force, and particularly in the Marines, who are so special."

(CNN) -- The Washington Post's Chris Cillizza recently gave President Barack Obama his "Worst Year in Washington" award. Indeed, Cillizza wrote that there was a growing sense among the public that "Obama simply isn't up to the job to which he was elected twice." But while it's hard to argue that Obama has not had a difficult 12 months, the notion that this President is somehow done or a lame duck just doesn't feel quite right. The fact is the office of the president is still the most dynamic change agent in our political system. And unlike Congress or the Supreme Court, which go in and out of session, the President is on 24/7, with significant power at his disposal, a point underscored by recent initiatives on immigration, climate change and Cuba.Aaron David Miller: President Obama is not the appeaser in chief his detractors claimMiller: President doubled down in Afghanistan in 2009, had Osama bin Laden killedObama is a committed internationalist, Miller saysPresident can feel the pull of wanting to leave a positive legacy, he says

(CNN) -- Without firing a shot, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has achieved remarkable results in his efforts to counter Iran's nuclear program. In little more than a year, the prime minister has managed to move the Iran nuclear issue to the top of the international agenda, to toughen sanctions, and in an extraordinary move, to push U.S. President Barack Obama to strengthen American policy so that preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons became the focus, rather than just containing Iran and its nuclear program. Indeed, if you throw in Republican challenger Mitt Romney's unwillingness to accept Iran even having the capacity to produce a nuke, Netanyahu's record is even better.Aaron Miller: Israeli PM Netanyahu has scored some victories on Iran nuclear programBut he says Netanyahu's new emphasis on drawing a red line is counterproductiveIsraeli politicians are crying wolf, threatening an attack that isn't happening, Miller saysMiller: Injecting the issue into U.S. election campaign further alienates President Obama 
 Question:The smart play for Netanyahu would be to stop talking about Iran publicly at home and abroad, desist from creating the impression that he's pressing the president before the elections and start a quiet dialogue with the _ about how best to handle the period ahead.
