The U.N. says it needs more time to bring aid to areas of Yemen following the end of a five-day truce. A U.N. spokesperson said only half of the proposed supplies were delivered before Saudi strikes resumed on Sunday.

Elisabeth Byrs: “The humanitarian pause in Yemen was not long enough to reach all those in need of food, and WFP is appealing for a series of predictable breaks in the conflict to deliver desperately needed aid.”

The U.N. says Yemen has only been able to import one-tenth of the fuel it needs each month. More than 1,800 people have died in Yemen’s conflict so far.

But Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu abruptly cancelled it following an outcry.

A former top CIA official and intelligence briefer to President George W. Bush before the Iraq War has acknowledged Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney falsely presented information to the public. In an interview with MSNBC’s Chris Matthews, Michael Morell was asked about Cheney’s claim that Saddam Hussein was seeking nuclear weapons.

Chris Matthews: “Was that true?”

Michael Morell: “We were saying—”

Chris Matthews: “Can you answer that question? Was that true?”

Michael Morell: “No. That’s not true.”

Chris Matthews: “Well, why did you let him get away with it?”

Michael Morell: “Look, my job—my job, Chris, is to—”

Chris Matthews: “You’re the briefer of the president on intelligence. You’re the top person to go in and tell him what’s going on. You see Cheney make this charge he’s got a nuclear bomb, and then they make subsequent charges he knew how to deliver it, he had the capability to deliver it, and nobody raised their hand and said, 'No, that's not what we told him.’”

Michael Morell: “Chris, Chris, Chris, Chris, wasn’t my job. Right? My job—”

Chris Matthews: “To tell the truth.”

Michael Morell: “My job—no, as the briefer? As the briefer?”

Chris Matthews: “OK, go ahead.”

Michael Morell: “As the briefer, my job is to carry CIA’s best information and best analysis to the president of the United States, make sure he understands it. Right? My job is to not watch what they’re saying on TV and say, 'Yesterday—'”

Chris Matthews: “You think TV’s a joke?”

Michael Morell: “What?”

Chris Matthews: “You think it’s a joke that Cheney said it on TV?”

Michael Morell: “That’s not my job. That’s not my job.”

Chris Matthews: “Did you know he did that?”

Michael Morell: “No, I wasn’t paying attention. I was studying what was on my desk every morning.”

Chris Matthews: “So you’re briefing the president on the reasons for war. They’re selling the war using your stuff, saying that you made that case when you didn’t. So they’re using your credibility to make the case for war dishonestly, as you just admitted.”

Michael Morell: “Look, I’m just telling you what—”

Chris Matthews: “Well, you just admitted it.”

Michael Morell: “I’m just telling you what we said, Chris.”

Chris Matthews: “They gave a false presentation of what you said to them.”

Michael Morell: “On some aspects.”

The Iraq invasion has emerged as a major campaign issue after Republican hopeful Jeb Bush walked back his claim he would have authorized the Iraq War. On Tuesday, Democratic hopeful Hillary Clinton was asked about her Senate vote in support of the Iraq invasion.

Hillary Clinton: “Look, I know that there have been a lot of questions about Iraq posed to candidates over the last weeks. I’ve made it very clear that I made a mistake, plain and simple. And I have written about it in my book. I’ve talked about it in the past. And, you know, what we now see is a very different and very dangerous situation. The United States is doing what it can, but ultimately this has to be a struggle that the Iraqi government and the Iraqi people are determined to win for themselves.”

It could be one of the largest charity fraud cases of all time.

Police in Texas are urging a truce between rival gangs in the aftermath of Sunday’s shootout that left nine people dead. More than 170 people have been charged with engaging in organized crime so far. Waco Police Sergeant Patrick Swanton urged all sides to avoid retaliation.

Sgt. Patrick Swanton: “I will tell you that in the gang world and in the biker world, that violence usually condones more violence. Is this over? Most likely not. We would like it to be. We would ask there to be some type of truce between whatever motorcycle gangs are involved. We would encourage them to try and be a little peaceful and let the bloodshed stop.”
