on the show, daytona 500 winner from later this afternoon and donald trump and a oscar wrap-up from all the big awards tonight. >> dave: and the quiz show on the oscars, the "after the show" show, alex trebek here. >> start with a "fox news alert," 7 american troops are wounded in a grenade attack on the u.n. specs special forces base in afghanistan. one day after the deadly shooting of two u.s. military advisors. that attack believed to have been carried out, by an afghan intelligence officer. good morning, everyone and welcome to america's news headquarters, for this sunday morning, i'm eric sean. >> jamie: terrible story to report, i'm jamie colby, the attack followed days of violent protests, we have been seeing, over the reportedly accidental burning of korans at a u.s. military base, and, so far, more than 30 have been killed. beater doocy weather the latest details, live in washington for us. what do we know this morning? >> reporter: we know outside the

nato base in kunduz, today there was a big crowd, protesting the burning of the koran at bagram airbase and someone in the crowd threw a hand grenade at the u.s. special forces troops, injuring 7 of them, we heard from afghan president hamid karzai who is basically telling everybody in afghanistan to cool it. he said and i'm quoting here, a translation. i it is time to return to calm and keep it and not allow the enemies of the people of afghanistan, enemies of stability and peace of the people of afghanistan to use this and bring danger to the prompts of our people and our country. and, remember, it was yesterday, two u.s. advisors were killed, inside afghanistan's interior ministry and, suspect an afghan intelligence officer what's the gunman, captain john kirby told fox yesterday our work in afghanistan will not be interrupted, despite the violence. >> the rest of the work that coalition forces are doing in afghanistan, throughout the country, continues.

we still have troops on the ground, partnered with afghan units and soldiers out there, in kneel the field and that work continues. >> reporter: because the koran was burned at bagram and afghans are upset, 7 troops were hurt today and 2 advisors were killed, even though the most senior officials, including president obama apologized on friday. >> general allen, secretary panetta and president obama have all in different forms expressed their apology on behalf of the american people, and the american military. to the afghan people. to articulate that the united states military and indeed, the american people, have enduring respect for the religious views and practices of the afghan people. >> reporter: something else president karzai said, at least 29 people have been killed and 200 have been hurt in the demonstrations following the burning of the koran. at bagram airbase, jamie and

eric. >> jamie: thank you very much. eric? >> eric: jamie, as the protests continue to rage on leaders in the u.s. and afghanistan are pleading for calm. as peter said, president barack obama issued the apology and even the effort appears to have done little to ease the tension on the ground. how do we stop it? ambassador john bolton is a fox news contributor and former united states ambassador to the united nations. who joins us every sunday about this time. good morning. >> good morning, glad to be here. >> eric: seems the afghans are turning on us. how do we calm this? >> i think we have exacerbate the situation perhaps unintentionally by multiple apologies. you apologize when you have done something wrong and are trying to make amends, whatever was done here was done in good faith. i think the people who were burning the koran thought that was the way to dispose of a holy book when it has been desecrated and i think apologizing actually

shows weakness on our part and shows like we think we did something wrong but i think the rise in demonstrations also shows something else, the depth of the religious fanaticism taliban preys on is widespread and the idea that taliban is under control, al qaeda is under control, everything is under control, we can leave afghanistan, we can shut down come pat operations, next year and nothing will happen, no further threats to the u.s., is profoundly wrong. >> eric: the taliban is even ordering and calling on afghans to kill westerners, and now we have four americans who have been killed, executed in cold blood and shot to death. because of this. >> right. and i think it shows the nature of the threat the taliban poses and what politicized religious extremism in that part of the world is all about. you know, it calls to mind the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, admiral dempsey's comment

the other day that the ayatollahs in the regime in iran are rational people. you know, just like these people in afghanistan, i suppose, are rational in their terms. a book has been burned here. is it upsetting? sure. if religious people in the country saw the bible desecrated, would they be upset? yes, would they riot in the street for five days and kill people? i don't think so. rationality is in the eye of the be holder, whether dealing with the ayatollahs in tehran or dealing with taliban and its supporters in afghanistan. a lesson very important for u.s. policy-makers, to understand. >> eric: what does it mean when the afghan officials and intelligence officers allegedly shot two of the u.s. military officers, inside the interior building in afghanistan, so tragic, corporal t. j. comrade, 22 years old, 7-month-old baby, sergeant joshua borne, 25 years old, corporal conrad's wife,

holly, was mailing a birthday present when she was notified of her husband -- her husband's birthday a week from now and they were shot in the head by someone that we work with. what do we do about that, how can we change it and now nato pulled out the advisors from the afghan government offices. >> well i think these tragedy underline how fragile the situation is in afghanistan. and i think, also, unfortunately, underlines the mistake of our strategy over the past several years. we are not going to improve afghanistan. i think these riots show how hard it is to change it. so if our counterinsurgency strategy is based, as unfortunately it is on improving afghanistan before we leave we will fail. we are there... afghanistan. we are there for a fundamental strategic reason, which is to make sure taliban and al qaeda

don't, once again, use afghanistan as a base for terrorism. that remains valid and explains why we are there, makiing afghanistan a nicer place to live is not our objective. >> eric: what do we do, sit down with peace talks with the u.s.? how do we go forward? >> i think the peace talks are a delusion. i think this is the obama administration's way of negotiating the surrender to get out after the november election and i think with that risk is taliban again coming to power in afghanistan. and using it as a base for terrorism. as they did pre-9/11. and, it also risks pakistani taliban or other radicals in that country, destabilizing the government, taking control there, and, getting control of that state's large arsenal of nuclear weapons. this is a very delicate, dangerous period. and our constant apologizing for something that may have been done by accident but was

probably done in good faith undermines the whole rationale for our being there. and empowers our enemies, convinces them that we're weak and in decline. >> eric: so far, four americans shot dead and 7 soldiers injured en a grenade attack. no signs that this is ending. ambassador john bolton, thank you as always. jamie? >> jamie: other news, we know the charges against at least 16 americans that are on trial in egypt, it was a chaotic scene in a cairo courtroom as those charges were read and the room was packed with lawyers and journalists and spectators and the american defendants not in court today, including sam lahood, the said of a u.s. funded nonprofit organization that works inside egypt and he's also the son of u.s. transportation secretary ray lahood. the case is creating a severe rift between washington and cairo. legal language vittert is following it live for us in jerusalem. hi, leland. >> reporter: that is the interesting news coming out

today. none of those 16 americans were actually hauled into court by the egyptian authorities. we got the latest look inside that egyptian courtroom from video coming into fox news here in our middle east bureau. you can see, a number of the defendants there, inside, those are all the egyptian defendants, who were arrested here and charged with operating an illegal organization and also, fueling the pro democracy protests and pleaded not guilty and were released until the trial could begin there in april. there were a lot of lawyers, though, inside the courtroom who were very unhappy and wanted all of these defendants kept in jail, and charged with espionage, of the 16 americans, a number of them aren't en egypt anymore and were able to get out before the trial began, others are held up inside the united states embassy, where they cannot be arrested because of international law, the important thing to note here, is sort of the overarching situation between the u.s. and egypt. two years ago, egypt was a key

u.s. ally and now, all of a sudden, relations are strained with the military junta, trying to play and placate the nationalistic elements of the country, that came into power there, in about the past year. going forward the trial is delayed until april which gives everybody a little more time for diplomatic maneuvering. the other thing that has been floated is the laws that were allegedly broken here, might be changed. making what every did not illegal at all. that may be one way for everybody to save face and the other thing to keep in mind, is the u.s. gives well over a billion dollars a year to egypt in foreign aid and that is something that is certainly on the negotiating table, or could be, if and when these americans ever went to trial. jamie, back to you. >> jamie: makes sense, leland, thank you so much for the latest there. in jerusalem. >> eric: the house where we got usama bin laden, being torn down. security forces in pakistan, nearly finished demolishing the

long time hideout, bulldozes have been working through the night, since yesterday, witnesses say more than half of the building has already been demolished. last may, as you know the elite u.s. special forces unit, known as seal team 6 raided the compound, killing bliusama bin laden and pakistani officials made the law to tear it down because they fear it could become a shrine or tourist spot. >> jamie: you're in america's election headquarters at fox, counting down to a critical moment in the g.o.p. primary fight. it is a two-man tug-of-war, folks, mitt romney and rick santorum are preparing to face off in arizona an michigan, where, of course, mitt romney was born and no candidate has won the nomination without winning their home state since 1972. could santorum deliver a knockout punch with a michigan

win? john fund, senior editor with "the american spectator." john, good to see you. >> thanks. >> jamie: let me ask you how tight the race is in michigan. >> rick santorum was ahead for several weeks, after his sweep of several midwestern states, earlier this month. mitt romney has fought back with a lot of tv ads, ron palm was also -- has run a lot of ads against santorum, so, right now, i think romney has a very slight edge in michigan. >> and do you think, too much is being made of the fact, though that 1972 statistic is interesting. and, is too much made of the fact that if mitt romney loses the state where his father was governor, it will not be good for him, going forward? >> i think, it is a psychological blow but i don't think it is a politically devastating blow. because, mitt romney has enormous amounts of money and staying power. he can go the distance. rick santorum still has trouble raising money, to compete. so does newt gingrich.

i believe mitt romney would still be the favored for the nomination, but, it would show that he has not closed the sale with republican conservatives, if he can't win michigan. and somebody once compared him to an elvis impersonator. he knows they'll lyrics of conservatism but can't carry the tune and i think it would be a struggle for him to convince conservatives, i've united the party but i think he'd be the favorite for the nomination. >> jamie: this is interesting, right now, mitt romney has tremendous funds and ground game, but you a win in michigan could turn the money around for rick santorum, when i think of michigan unemployment and arizona, boy, housing market, bad, big issues for the people there. how important are these races to watch? >> they are important because they represent two strongholds of republicanism, one, michigan, a modern tradition and, arizona

which gave us barry goldwater. i lived in arizona and know the state well and mitt romney should be able to win arizona, one out of 8 republican primary voters is mitt romney mon and mitt romney carried 88% of mormons four years ago and if he loses arizona and michigan that would be news and that i think would have a lot of people asking themselves, let's step back and see if we can find someone else or think of the situation anew. >> jamie: you mentioned ron paul's ads may be helping voters sway one way or another. what about newt gingrich. >> he says he can't compete and will look towards super tuesday in places like georgia, his home state and is holding back his money for a later day. ron paul is interesting. he's barely campaigning in michigan but running ads against and storm and that led him to charge a complicit alliance to

kick santorum out of the race and i'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it is fascinating what ron paul has to say. >> jamie: he has a lot to say and people connect with some of the things he says. >> absolutely. >> jamie: and we expect to hear from jan brewer, and i think of the devastation in the housing market and, immigration is a big issue and there's a difference with the g.o.p. candidates on that issue. how much could her endorsement mean? >> i believe in the modern television age, endorsements from celebrities don't mean much. people have enough information to make up their own minds, jan brewer is a popular governor of arizona but the differences between, for example, santorum on immigration an mitt romney on immigration are not that great. frankly, they don't have a long track record on that issue. and, i don't think it will play one way or the other. >> jamie: quickly, do you see anyone dropping out of the race or do you hold out until super tuesday. >> there is no reason for anyone

to drop out. there's lots of primaries, look at how many surprises we have had in the race and people winning primaries with little money or effort and i think we'll see it going to may and june, and, we're not going to get a nominee with a majority of delegates, until at least may. >> jamie: john fund, great to see you from the american spectator. and of course fox news is your number one source for election news here on fox news channel and at foxnews.com, you want to definitely tune in tuesday, all-day coverage of the arizona and michigan primaries and special primetime coverage with bret baier and megyn kelly and check out foxnews.com, our own rick folbaum and jenna lee will have full coverage for the web site, 8:00 p.m. eastern, tuesday, foxnews.com. >> eric: and mitt romney facing a crucial hurdle in the quest for the nomination. now, he's in the tight race, in the state where he was born but up next... fox news host, the anchor of chris wallace, with an exclusive sit-down with mitt

romney. we'll hear from him in his own words. plus, taking the guessing game out of the flu season, have you had it yet? we have a test to let you know about whether or not you are under the weather. the doctors are in, "sunday house call," and, the flu, straight ahead. [ peggy ] here's me. and here's my depression. before i started taking abilify, i was taking an antidepressant alone. most of the time i could pull myself together and face the day. but other days, i still struggled with my depression. i was coping, but sometimes it really weighed me down. i'd been feeling stuck for a long time. i just couldn't shake my depression. so i talked to my doctor, and he added abilify to my antidepressant. he said it could help with my depression, and that some people had symptom improvement as early as 1 to 2 weeks. i'm glad i talked to him. i wish i'd done it sooner. now i feel more in control of my depression. [ male announcer ] abilify is not for everyone. call your doctor if your depression worsens or you have unusual changes in behavior or thoughts of suicide. antidepressants can increase these in children, teens,

and young adults. elderly dementia patients taking abilify have an increased risk of death or stroke. call your doctor if you have high fever, stiff muscles, and confusion to address a possible life-threatening condition. or if you have uncontrollable muscle movements, as these could become permanent. high blood sugar has been reported with abilify and medicines like it. in some cases, extreme high blood sugar can lead to coma or death. other risks include decreases in white blood cells, which can be serious, dizziness upon standing, seizures, trouble swallowing, and impaired judgment or motor skills. my depression used to be more of a burden. then my doctor added abilify to my antidepressant. now i feel better. [ male announcer ] if you're still struggling with depression, talk to your doctor to see if the option of adding abilify is right for you. and be sure to ask about the free trial offer. is right for you. what do you get when you combine the home depot with this weekend? the cure for cabin fever. because with get-it-done savings on everything we need... we can turn this weekend into a fresh floor... or an updated bathroom...

or a brand-new look. so let's hit those orange aisles, and make today the day, we make a big difference, no matter how big our budget. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot maximize your budget with great buys, like mosaic tile, just $4.98 per square foot.

>> eric: mitt romney facing one of the biggest tests yet on tuesday. can he take his home state of michigan? with the vote 48 hours away, he sat down with an exclusive one-on-one, with fox news sunday anchor chris wallace to lay out his plans for victory. >> i think i can show that i can fight hard and come from behind and the people, as they focus on my campaign and candidacy and my plan to get america working again, a plan that calls for dramatic changes in the way washington is structured, those are things people are warming to and i'm making progress. >> eric: joining is now is the anchor of fox news sunday, chris wallace. >> good morning, he better make progress, the primary in innish is two days away. yes. >> eric: michigan is on the line. what will it mean, chris if he actually loses? >> it would be devastating. i must tell you from the interview and i commend it to people, it is very interesting,

i think you see a side of mitt romney you have not seen before. but if he were to lose, i think he's increasingly confident he'll win and if he lost it would be devastating. his home state, the state he grew up in, the state that his father was the governor of, for three terms, and, look, one of the big arguments has been electability. if he can't beat rick santorum in a republican primary in his home state how would he ever beat barack obama in a general election in the key swing state of michigan in november. so it is very important, and i don't mean he drops out of the race if he loses but it would explode one of his central argument and would ensure the election goes into may or even june. >> eric: what does it mean if he wins and does pull it out against santorum? >> i don't think it ends it but, it is sure a lot better. there are a lot of those

worst-case snares ycenarios i t about and a week later he has super tuesday and it certain doesn't look like he'll run the table there. and newt gingrich focusing on his home state of georgia. santorum will battle in mid-western states like ohio. mitt romney will do well in northeastern states, and there's a real possibility that super tuesday could be a very mixed message, a kind of an even hall of delegates, in which case this thing goes on and on and on. look, that is the rules the way the republicans... it is down with proportional representation, it's not winner take all and there is every likelihood, this thing goes at the least into early may. >> eric: there is backlash amongst republicans about the way the process worked out and we forget john mccain won the nomination and lost 19 states. are we making too much of the up and down, can we he win, can he lose, the death knell every time

something happens? >> no, i don't think so. yes, john mccain lost some states and huckabee stained and he lost states to huckabee, particularly caucuses, later in april and may and stuff. but, everybody knew that he was going to be the nominee after mitt romney dropped out in march. it was a question of how long it would take them to get there. i think in this case, the nomination is still up for grabs and who is to say, newt gingrich isn't going to have a good day on super tuesday and get right back into this race. so, i think it is a two-man competition, and possibly a three-man competition, and i don't want to leave out ron paul. for months to go. and i don't think we are making too much of the fact that this is still wide-open. >> eric: we'll look forward to the interview, absolutely fascinating and couldn't come at a better time. >> and quickly, we have an exclusive interview with mitch daniels, and, i have to tell you, after you watch that people will say why didn't he get in to the race. >> eric: one guy not running for president, or so he says, from indiana. chris, thank you. >> thank you, eric.

>> eric: catch all of chris's exclusive one-on-one interview with mitt romney, that is on fox news sunday, check your local listings and, as chris mentioned, indiana governor mitch daniels, a lot of folks wanted to get into the race and declined. will also be on fox news sunday, 2:00, and 6:00. right here, on the fox news channel. jamie? >> jamie: you know if you are a regular viewer what we do every sunday morning, we try to make you feel better. and a lot of people have the flu, this season but guess what? there's a way to get better faster. dr. samadi and siegel will joins us. there's a new test that can tell if you actually have the flu or something else. and, it is so quick it will take you less time than taking cough syrup. "sunday house call," next. so who ordered the cereal that can help lower olesterol and who ordered the yummy cereal? yummy. [ woman ] lower cholesterol. [ man 2 ] yummy. i got that wrong didn't i?

>> jamie: welcome back, everybody, a "fox news alert." with a quick election update. republican arizona governor jan brewer just endorsing mitt romney for president.

and, of course on tuesday, arizona's holding its republican primaries, right now, romney polling well ahead of his rivals, in the state of arizona. ♪ >> jamie: time for "sunday house cal call", joining us, dr. marc siegel, associate professor of medicine at the langone medical center and author of "the inner pulse, unlocking the secret code of sickness and health" we'll do that today. >> eric: and dr. samadi, chief of robotics at the mt. sinai medical center here in new york city. >> jamie: good morning, how are you feeling, this morning. >> wonderful. >> jamie: we'll help the folk out there who aren't. it is flu season. >> we're ready. >> jamie: dr. siegel came prepared with syringes, which is why i moved my chair over a little bit. the question is do you have the flu, the fda cleared the new test which provides results in 10 minutes. we have 10 minutes, but, i got

my flu shot already, i was asking, maybe eric wanted... did you get yours. >> eric: i did and got the flu anyway, two weeks ago but they say it is a milder season, this season because i didn't have the cough, i had body aches for two days and it was gone. >> first, let's talk about that. a mild flu season, so far. but, the latest flu season in 13 years here, and, the thing here is, it still in can be a flu season and i'm expecting it. right now we are seeing outbreaks in california and colorado and missouri and the midwest and is starting to become widespread in these areas. two strains most predominant are the same two as last year, a lot have immune and i expecting a mild season. i tell you what i tell people. the flu symptoms are classic, eric. classic, and we could talk about all the tests we want and the new one is rapid and more accurate than previous ones and the way to diagnose the flu is clinically. if you have red eyes, a sore throat and muscle aches, fever,

and most importantly, if it comes on you suddenly, with tons of fatigue, that is the flu. it used to be called the grippe and i had four cases and they varied varied somewhat and i put three on tamiflu which helps them get better quicker. >> jamie: it really works. >> it works. >> jamie: you recommended another nasal spray or lozenge that could short then time of the flu but now you say there is a new test, too. must we test every time we're not sure? >> laughs tist time there was a used it and it was always negative and i'm waiting to see if it will be accurate. but i think it clinicsal, i -- clinical and we look for secondary infections, sinus infections, bronchitis, pneumonia and that is what gets you with the flu and we worry about people who are chronically

ill getting the flu. >> jamie: what is a cold. >> with these tests you don't want to generalize everyone, based on the guidelines there are certain criteria on patients that should be treated. so, if you are going to get the test, and going to give the tamiflu it has to be kids younger than 2 and adults over 65. if they have chronic disease, asthma, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, immunosuppressant, people in entering homes, we want to be aggressive but it basically goes away in 7 to 10 days, this is a clinical diagnosis and most of the people we are taking care of the symptoms, giving them hydration and, decongestants and ibuprofen and, whether sick or elderly you want to be really careful. wash your hands frequently, make sure you get the vaccine every year, every year they have a different strain so you have to make sure you do it every year, if you have the symptoms, stay away from the public. you don't want to contaminate

your workers, and, other people. >> jamie: such an important message. >> and the other thing, a lot of people talk about echinacea and vitamin c an zinc and i want to mention, we don't have good scientific data to it back up. if you have taken it and it helps you, whether the placebo effect and it helps, take it. though we don't have data to show it helps. >> it is a late flu season, 135 million doses of the flu vaccine and it is still not too late. it works in three years, i brought it here, you are vaccinated. at home, get your vaccine. >> the cameraman. >> jamie: sararen't you proud o it. >> eric: i got it anyway, wasn't severe. two days off, two sick days, when a couple is diagnosed as being infertile the first thoughts turn to the woman but in fact the problems can be with both male and female conditions, doctor, what advice do you have for couples who are infertile and what they can do.

>> we love to blame women ate everything that traps but the truth is when it comes to infertility, men play a 50% role, and the definition of infertility, it is specific. if the couple cannot achieve pregnancy within the first 12 months of unprotected sex, that is considered an infertile couple and they have to see the urologist and one of the most common causes among men is dilated vines, around the testicles that increases at the temperature and anything that will increase the temperature can damage those sperms. and it has been a while since the last time we did a quiz and i want to ask the questions. from the expert panels and the doctors over here. >> jamie: i'm glad women aren't blamed. >> first to eric, what do you think about saunas and steam rooms, can they increase the risk of infertility and damage the sperm. >> eric: if it is hot. it can, yes. >> all right, excellent point. because it can increase the temperature as we talked about and can affect you. how about this:

bike riders, people that ride bicycles. can that pressure cause some sort of infertility? >> jamie: i bet it can. >> the answer is, usually myth. and they may get nerve damage but it doesn't cause infertility and, caution for dr. siegel. >> i get the hard one. >> someone taking alpha blockers, flomax for enlarged prostate can they have a problem with infertility. >> yes. . it interferes with the eejaculati eejaculation, you don't get the sperm where you want it to go. >> you stop the medication and two weeks after hopefully everything comes back to normal. for eric. laptops, can that increase heat or, putting it on your lap, can that increase infertility. >> eric: you are getting zapped. i think you are getting zapped. i would say, yes, keep it away. don't want the laptop on your lap. >> increased heat.

there is not good data. but keep it away from you and some talk about the car heat warmer. >> eric: the car seats. >> sitting there ten hours in a row, increased heat you want to be careful. >> jamie: i like that feature. >> i left the best one for last. how about this, for jamie: briefs and boxers. myth or fact out there, that briefs can cause infertility. true or false? >> jamie: how would that work? >> you know... >> the idea is that briefs can increase the temperature and... >> jamie: guys, wear the right size briefs, what i'm thinking. >> briefs, better ventilation and air-conditioning. >> jamie: sure. why not. >> again, the answer is no. briefs really have not shown that it would cause infertility. so, my own personal, as a urologist, i would say, briefs are more preferable because you move as a unit with boxers, like i said, there is too much ventilation going on and you are not in control of your life.

that's all. i don't know what he wears, it doesn't matter. >> i will not admit it and from an internist point of view, make sure the person is not smoking. that can cause infertility or lead to it. alcohol, drugs, drug use an certain medications you might take including steroids. and the most important thing, you never heard from me on the show before, don't let your internist work this up, send the patient to a urologist like dr. samadi, internists can screen for it but shouldn't be involved in then tire workup. >> jamie: the experts are the urologist. >> jamie: good to know what you wear might not interfere. >> that's all. >> jamie: thank you very much. there's a new inhaleable caffeine product that could offer a quick energy boost but is that type of caffeine fix safe for us? our doctors will weigh in, next.

your finances can't manage themselves. but that doesn't mean they won't try. bring all your finances together with the help of the one person who can. a certified financial planner professional. cfp. let's make plan.

the day starts with arthritis pain... a load of new listings... and two pills. after a morning of walk-ups, it's back to more pain, back to more pills. the evening showings bring more pain and more pills. sealing the deal... when, hang on... her doctor recommended aleve. it can relieve pain all day with fewer pills than tylenol. this is lois... who chose two aleve and fewer pills for a day free of pain. [ female announcer ] and try aleve for relief from tough headaches.

>> jamie: there's a ruchl more out that i like my coffee in the morning, it must be since i was given the question, about coffee, coffee junkies and people using the inhaleable caffeine. and whether it is safe. i haven't tried it but the inventor says it that's same as a cup of coffee, 100 milligrams, easier to carry around. is it safe to try? >> you know, my opinions on this are changing. i spoke to the inventor of this, dr. david edwards from harvard, a biomedical engineer, currently in paris, and he says he just studied it and it is no different, actually much better than the energy drinks which have a lot more caffeine, and he thinks it is safer than the energy drinks and made the point that it doesn't end up in your lungs and the particles are too big and they end up in your mouth, essentially the same as drinking a cup of coffee. >> jamie: he thinks it.

what about the... what about you. >> i think there are too many caffeine products on the market and we've talked about coffee a lot on the show, why it is an advantage and you know how much caffeine are getting with coffee, i'm afraid of kids using this. over 18 it is probably okay. but i think the last thing we needed was another caffeine product. from my point of view as an internist, caffeine can raise your heart rate, blood pressure, and people are taking it that really shouldn't be. >> jamie: doctor samadi? >> i'll taking a completely different position. i think it is actually not a good idea to have it in the market, because it's not fda approved and i think they are saying the particles are too big but a lot of pediatricians are worried about exacerbation of asthma, and i think that making it with alcohol is big -- drastic issues for our kids. because, it keeps them up longer, they'll continue to drink more and mixing coffee and alcohol is not a good situation and you can buy it for $3, and, anybody can do it and i think one of things, chuck schumer has

done is forced the fda to look into this and make sure they find this is... same with the product they did a year or two ago and pumped it off the market. i would not jump into the market and get night i agree with the doctor's point. i think it will lead to allal ho drinking and i think more of the wrong groups will use it. and i don't -- i'm glad the fda is looking at it. >> if you are a truck driver, drinking hours and hours and really have to be using this as a desperate or, a med student, cramming for exam, once in a while, maybe, it is okay but i wouldn't have it out... >> jamie: i sense your apprehension. thanks. a lot of people talking about that. >> eric: especially since it is new. do you have pain? tried acupuncture? for many people it really does work and now, doctors say you could, perhaps, get the same effects without the use of all those needles. acupuncture and you, what the doctors say, straight ahead.

i have copd. if you have it, you know how hard it can be to breathe and what that feels like. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva helps control my copd symptoms... by keeping my airways open a full 24 hours. plus, it reduces copd flare-ups. spiriva is the only once-daily inhaled copd maintenance treatment that does both. and it's steroid-free. spiriva does not replace fast-acting inhalers f sudden symptoms. tell your doctor if you have kidney problems, glaucoma, trouble urinating, or an enlarged prostate. these may worsen with spiriva. discuss all medicines you take, even eye drops. stop taking spiriva and seek immediate medical help if your breathing suddenly worsens, your throat or tongue swells, you get hives, vision changes or eye pain, or problems passing urine. other side effects include dry mouth and constipation. nothing can revee copd. spirivhelps me brthe better. does breathing with copd weigh you down?

ask your doctor if spiriva can help.

>> eric: "sunday house call" with the doctors, a lot of people resorted to acupuncture when you get pain and more than relieving stress, and dr. siegel, seems to be

prescribed and used more and more. >> acupuncture restores what they call vital energy to areas of the body and i'm not an expert and it has been used a lot for neck and back pain and migraine headaches and lately, dental procedures and 3.1 million people in the u.s. use it. what is interesting, is the sudden in germany in 2007, found people who believed it would work were the ones who benefitted the most from it and all the studies since then and the nih looked at it are conflicting, some say it works and some it doesn't and migraine headache experts are using it more and more and dental and back pain, more and more and i would say the jury is out. but if you think it will work you have a higher chance, it could be placebo. >> eric: you hear people say i went to the acupuncturist and, it works. >> the history behind it is fascinating, the 16th century chinese medicine and they believe the body is a balance between two opposing forces,

good versus evil and healthy versus sir and whck and acupunc people who are experts can find the right nerve and these channels, meridians, opens up the vital energy for you to get healthy and is really interesting. when richard nixon went to china in 1972, acupuncture became more popular because one of his staff needed it in china and it came to the u.s. we as western doctors, we look at this as more complimentary to what we do, not replace but compliment and it is important and the combination is healthy and whether its in crea s iis ie endorphins or the immune system through the stimulation of the central nervous system, it is fascinating and if it helps people with migraine and other pain would be a good addition to what we do every day. >> i think it is good to add it, if other things haven't worked and, could prevent you from taking drugs that could harp you long term. >> jamie: when you're in pain, anything is worth a try.

looking to glow from the inside-out, keeping your skin clean is vitally important, the doctors say, to your overall health and, dr. samadi you have tips and first of all, tell us why it is important from the inside-out. >> i think skin is our biggest organ in our body and taking care of it is extremely important and whatever you do, from inside-out, will show your skin, if you want to diagnose someone, look at their skin and you will final out whether they are a smoker or drinking enough or taking good nutrition. we have ten tips, this is becoming popular and the first one is, you are what you eat. so, make sure you eat healthy foods, a lot of people eat vegetables and fruits, stay away from sugar and fat, that is really helpful. the next stipulate is really follow a good skin routine, making sure you keep your skin clean, making sure that you have good exoaffiliation and, wear sunscreen and protect your face, a lot of acne and wrinkles comes as a result of that.

stress has a lot to do with it. keeping away from stress, keep yoga, swimming, a hobby to keep you calm. and, of course, the tips go on, i don't know if you have time or not. but the most important thing, is drinking a lot of fluids. your skin needs to be moisturized and drinking fluids, getting enough sleep... >> jamie: what kind of fluids. >> water is the best thing you can do. 7-8 glasses a day, and make sure you wash your hands frequently. touching your face is going to contaminate, make sure that that pillow case is clean and you don't get any infections. >> to emphasize in addition to using creams and sunscreen and exfoliating your skin and retinols work, too, the most important thing is stopping smoking and not drinking alcohol, the most important thing is diet. you have to have a diet high in vegetables and plants and fruits and high in antioxidants, basically a mediterranean diet. high in olive oil and low in meat and in dairy. and saturated fats, you want

unsaturated fats like olive oil. >> i'm glad you brought up smoking. smoke by itself, something called vasoconstrictors, it stops the blood from getting to your skin, you will not have the healthy skin and that is important, quit smoking. >> eric: good advice. up next the doctors answer your e-mails, we'll be right back. ok! who gets occasional constipation, diarrhea, gas or bloating? get ahead of it! one phillips' colon health probiotic cap a day helps defend against digestive issues with three strains of good bacteria. hit me!

before we go, the doctors have been great in getting to as many e-mails as they can. this came from fran: within five minutes of lying on my right i experienced pain from under my right rib cage to my lower abdomen. my physician says it is caused by scar tisch you. fran this surgery that might have caused that scar tissue. how does scar tissue cause the pain? >> 90% of people who have had abdominal artñ? going to get some kind of scar tissue it can occur years later. you have to take it seriously. it can cause even a small bowel on structure which is a medical emergency if it is above the diaphragm, you will have pain on breathing, below, pain on stretching.

it is one of the reasons we are always talking about minimally invasive, laparoscopic like dr. samadi does because the chances of scar tissue are less the incision is, the smaller the surgery. >> does scar tissue not happen inside also? >> it does. i think this viewer, what she may have is something called inflammation of the cartilage between bones. when she lights on that point, inflammation of the cartilage, you want to treat with it ibuprofen or anti-depressant may help to get sleep. make sure to get liver function tests to make sure your liver is okay. if this doesn't conclude, get a cat scan and make sure there is no mass or cancer and see someone to make sure you don't have adhesions. >> thank you dr. s, see i next week.

we have a fox news alert. we are confirming now new details in the suspected grenade attack on a base in afghanistan. seven u.s. military trainers wound admitted new fears that the security situation in afghanistan could be spiralling out of control. yesterday two u.s. military officerses were murdered in cold blood inside the afghan interior ministry headquarters, allegedly shot by an afghan intelligence officer who he worked with. good morning i'm eric shawn welcome to a new hour. >> that interior ministry supposed to be the safest place to be. a lot of concern about in story today i'm jamie colby. violent demonstrations raging into a sixth day anger believed to be triggered by the reportedly accidental burning of islamic holy books. the protestsñfp have killed 30, wounding 200. steve centanni with the latest

from our washington, d.c. bureau. >> reporter: good morning this was a protest that turned violent this time seven u.s. military trainsers wounded. the latest incident in the northern city where protesters lobbed grenades at the u.s. base in addition to seven americans injured, two afghans killed in the violence. this is day six of violent protests across afghanistan after it was learned u.s. troops disposed of qur'ans in a fire pit used to burn garbage. the afghan president urging calm. >> our emotions were shown all over the country regarding this. it is time now to return to calm and keep it and not to allow the enemies of peace and stability of the people of afghanistan to use this from this time and bring danger to properties of our people and country.

>> reporter: estimated 30 people have been killed in a week of violence including two americans gunned down yesterday in a terrible attack on the interior ministry in kabul. two u.s. advisers, a kernel -- a colonel and major. afghan man worked as a driver and the manhunt is underway for him. >> incredible to learn new details today. any additional reaction from the u.s. this morning? >> reporter: u.s. ambassador to afghanistan crocker was on tv this morning. he said the u.s. will forge ahead wits mission in afghanistan in spite of this late -- with its mission in afghanistan in spite of its latest violence. >> again, these are terrible tragedies and worthy of the condemnation it received this is not the time to decide that we're done here. we've got to redouble our efforts. we've got to create a situation in which al-qaeda is

not coming back. >> reporter: president obama has issued an apology for the qur'an burnings. this latest turmoil could make it harder to follow through with winding down the combat mission as early as next year. >> this is one to watch. thank you steve. america's election headquarters counting down to the next crucial test in the gop fight. mitt romney making a final push in arizona in a state where he was in michigan, 48 hours from now. his challengers are putting up serious resistance. steve brown is live in michigan with one of the most important tests for the campaign in that stay >> reporter: good morning. yes, there is news it involves the other primary contest tuesday, arizona. arizona governor brewer announced she will be backing

mitt romney for president. romney had what polls suggests was a double digit lead in the polls leading up to the arizona primary. now he boasts the support of governor brewer. ron paul making a little news here in michigan. answering questions that emanate from the rick santorum camp. they have been accusing ron paul of being in this campaign, governor romney's wing man. >> i think senator santorum is desperate now, because i think he was exposed in the last debate on where he really wasn't the conservative that he was pretending to be. >> reporter: now, mitt romney's campaign has confirmed they've had some conversations with the paul campaign but it has nothing to do with strategy. today governor romney begins his day in florida at the daytona 500 visiting the biggest race of the year for the nascar circuit.

why? a lot of republicans like that sport. it is crowds are predominantly republican and draws a real blue collar background that will help get him exposure to poe attention votes back here in that race will be a rick santorum entry he has sponsored car number 26. that car will be starting in the back of the pack last row 42 out of 43 in that race. i think it is fair to say romney will be rooting for someone else to win that race. the democratic national committee always looking for an opportunity to poke fun at mitt romney has decided that if it were for mitt romney's wishes that the federal government did not bailout gm and chrysler that the daytona 500 might be full of foreign cars. it is cute and funny, except for the fact that none of those automakers make those cars in the races. you will see cars with ford,

chevy, dodge stickers those nascar switched over to a uniform car three seasons ago to try and make the cars more safe, more uniform, more competitive to suggest that that somehow 31 of the 43 cars were made by u.s. auto make have those stickers, but they did not -- accurate. they may have have those stickers but they rolled out of other places. >> i think a mini cooper versus a smart car in a fast car race wouldn't make it. >> reporter: it would be very duffle. mitt romney born in michigan, his wife, also from michigan. his father, three term governor of michigan. won the republican primary in michigan four years ago why hasn't he been polling better? joining us is republican michigan congressman thaddeus mccotter who has endorsed mr. romney.

events where mr. romney will be campaigning. welcome. >> thanks eric. >> what do you predict will happen tuesday? >> i predict voters will render their decision and you will know who has won and you will talk we it. >> do you think that will be mitt romney for whom they will render their decision? >> it a any type of contest all the candidates are going to work hard taking no vote for granted and not spending time projecting what may happen they are tying to make sure they win the nomination. >> you seem to be hedging a bit predicting that mitt romney can win. >> i don't predict the future i would rather to try to shape it. at the end of the day less time spent on speculation and more time working on articulation of the issues like the economy, so important, is going to win the nomination. >> in 2008, let's look at board he got 38.9% of the vote

against john mccain, 30% of the vote. does he have to beat those numbers against santorum? if he doesn't, you know if he loses to santorum, man oh man. >> it is go to be a marathon in is the first attempt to get delegates after the nonbinding delegates were chosen in arizona -- pardon me in missouri, minnesota, colorado. i think mr. romney is doing very well in arizona if he wins michigan he has won the first two states that have delegates up for grabs since the time where mr. santorum did well. no one state is going to determine in it is a volatile time in the country. electorate is going to make prudent choices to try to put us back on right track. it is happening now, going to happen in november. as we continue to go forward you will see ups and downs for all candidates as if mr. romney does well or does not in michigan it doesn't mean the others will seize

campaigning. -- cease campaigning. when you ran in june you called it the mitt romney-obama ticket. you said they are more like running mates. then you endorse romney. does that give an indication where romney has not gotten the traction he has needed which is why santorum has been doing so well? >> i think mr. romney has become a symbol of the establishment through no fault of his own. primaries what you tend to find and my quote is an example of individuals trying to differentiate themselves amongst fellow republicans as opposed to the larger differences that exist between the parties. i have differences with all four kate o'candidates especially on something like that the auto indid dust street. my differences is vastly smaller than with the democratic party and their nominee. >> romney against the auto bailout.

obviously, that hasn't been playing well among some in michigan. >> well they've all been against it. that's one of the reasons that i ran if you blinked you missed. i pointed out how we needed a manufacturing base in the united states. how the money was taken from the wall streeters who would have gotten it all and again not main streeters to continue to keep america not only to ensure we still retain the arsenal of democracy. that aside, that is going to be a different issue coming the general election. as for the primary all four were against the loan that allowed the auto industries to get restructured, however painfully, for the gut. >> you have super tuesday coming up in march, what do you think will happen come november? >> you are bringing me back to speculations and prognostications. you have to put forward your views, especially on the economy, especially on getting

america back on track so the new normal of 8% or higher unemployment that the obama administration seems to be content with is no longer considered except payable by the american people. so we see america restructure government so we have a 21st sensery citizen difficult event government and the decisions made to get the auto industry competitive and viable are mirrored by washington which seems to be rejecting the concept they have to change just as we have all had to change. >> thaddeus mccotter always compelling and interesting. good to see you. >> thanks eric. fox news is the number one source in this country and the globe for election news tuesday night all day coverage, arizona, michigan primetime with bret baier and megan kelly and rick and jenna for coverage on the website that begins 8 p.m. tuesday. 48 hours to go, we'll see what

happens. taking a look at markets. new signs of economic recovery wall street finishes strong this week dow flirting at 13,000 and the s&p recording its highest close since 2008. are wall street and main street any closegoering on the same page? let's ask brenda buttner. there were some positive signs. gas prices still looming and a lot of people concerned, consumer sentiment was up. what does that tell us? >> very interesting. wall street known to be a leading indicator, supposed to look ahead and tell us what the economy is going to do. in fact, the s&p -- everybody pays attention to the dow, the blue whips. if you look at your four -- blue whips if you look at your 401(k) it is key to the s&p

broad car , some sort of market index -- broad market some sort of market index fund that along with the s&p. s&p amazing up 9% so far this year alone. 24% since october. when you get that statement chances are you want to open it for the first time in years. highest since before the whole market imploded and the housing boom became a bust in 2008. >> go back for a second and explain the difference between the dow and the s&p for folks who might not know. you are saying about the housing market and housing sales were better than estimates. where do you look for these good signs and how much attention do you pay to each? >> s&p is known as a broad market end kay for it has many more stocks in it. -- the dow is much -- there are fewer stocks in it and

even though we look to it as a good indicator, the s&p is much broader that's the one that i look at when i try to get read on the market. the s&p is up more than the dow is this year. it also has had a lot less volatility. it has gone for 39 days without a 1% drop. that's very, very rare that we see that. the other thing is, it is, if you look at its price tag i'm not going to use a lot of jargon, it is cheaper tan it normally is the stocks within it are cheaper than they normally are which is fairly interesting because you see oil prices are so high. in fact, utilities or energy stocks are the sector that are leading the s&p. so, when you say gas prices are up or oil prices are up, one way to hedge yourself against that is to watch the s&p, in fact, you are invested in those oil stocks if if your

401(k) has an s&p index fund in it. in some way you are helping yourself if gas prices are high because your oil stocks are going up. >> clearly the energy companies are making money. i'm glad you brought that up brenda buttner, thank you. i was cure about what will the gas companies do -- i was curious about what will the gas companies do if they want to keep us as customers? americans spend nearly 10% of their income on fuel last year, filling up the tank. can anything be done to control those prices? i know everyone will do what they can. what about oil companies making money off of us filling the tank? bill flynn will join us next in today's take charge segment to tell you what they should do. coming up, you know the books and movies about the mafia? we'll tell you one story about someone who killed by the mob. the family of the mob boss who

ordered his hit, now stars on reality tv. coming up, one woman fighting back again the glam says of the mafia and what victims' families are doing about it. can you enjoy vegetables with sauce and still reach your weight loss goals? you can with green giant frozen vegetables. over twenty delicious varieties ha sixty calories oless per serving and are now weight watchers-endorsed. try green giant frozen vegetables with sauce.

how would you like to walk through the metal detector at airport? it is not supposed to happen and caused a major breach at a sacramento airport the detector was left unattended for less than a minute it was enough time for five passengers to walk through it without being screened. thankfully they didn't set anything off. all five passengers were located and rescreened. that breach lead to roughly a one hour closure of that checkpoint and the airport concourse beyond it. i was a little stunned when i found out that americans spent nearly 10% of their income on gasoline last year. in today's take charge . since 2012 doesn't look to be much different and the price of gas is causing serious concern not only with your wallet, but in washington we wondered whether there was anything consumers can do to

affect the prices at the pump. bill flynn -- phil flynn it is great to see you, you know the oil companies like nobody else. i had to wonder behind the scenes bp took a hit because of the oil spill with fines. this week new regulations, president obama approving new taxes on gas and oil companies. are they angry enough to do something about this that can benefit the consumer? can't they do something to bring prices down? you think they are talking behind the scenes? >> i think they are we need to let them do what they do best, produce oil. the industry has had one of the most historic breakthroughs effort in the history of the industry, basically creating shell gas production which is going to make us at some point in the future totally self-reliant on gas instead of the obama administration embracing this

new technology they've stood in the way. i think the oil companies are doing everything they can to bring oil prices down. they are investing billions of dollars to make it more efficient for the u.s. consumer and business. >> brenda buttner just told us the energy stocks are leading the s&p. the companies make money if they charge more for gasoline. maybe consumers will take a stand and say i'm not going to drive on that vacation. which will hurt other industries also. are the gas companies fed up enough to push harder the administration on drilling, on these new taxes? >> i think they are. i think the ita has been aggressive against the obama administration. pointing out the inconsistencies. i think it is amazing that the obama administration is trying to take credit for more oil production in this country when they've done everything they could to stand in the way.

most of the increases in production came during the bush administration. to try to take credit for that is really disingenuous, at best. you gotta remember, not every sector of the oil industry is doing well. refineries in this country are shutting down. i think the administration could do more to help them along by trying to back off a little on some of these over-reaching epa regulations that have cost billions for refineries and have driven up the cost of gasoline. >> i know three refineries in pennsylvania closed, people out of work as a result, less boil in production. you are right about the president -- these are the facts that the president did take credit for more drilling. there was a huge gap of time where there were no permits given during this administration. i'm curious about the conversation that may be going on. what can we do, if the oil

industry isn't taking every step they can? sounds like you think they are to make it happen, bring the price down and make it more available for those who need it? >> i think the consumers have done what they can, they've cut back on their consumption. our consumptions at the lowest level in 10 years. the other thing consumers can do is keep pressure on the obama administration. push through quick safety regulations on the pipeline coming up, canada, also to encourage the approval of more gas production, those are two things that can revolutionize our economy and put a lot of people back to work. >> that would be a great thing phil. thank you for your insight. i appreciate it. love to see those prices come down for those who need to fill the tank, thanks. >> for more on how you can take charge on a number of important consumer issues, go

welcome back. the national governor's association is meeting in washington now. one of the big issues is the upcoming election. democratic governor of delaware is the vice chair of

the national governor's association and is joining us now. thank you for being with us governor. >> my pleasure. >> great to see you. i know there have been meetings with the president of some of the democratic governors. i want to ask about something the president said. he said i have five more years to take care of everything on the minds of americans particularly the economy. what do you make of that statement? >> well, i think all that i make is he's focused every das are we as governors on improving the economy and putting more people back to work. when we met with him there was little talk if any of politics and campaigns and there was a lot of talk about creating jobs. >> we know the economy has shown a bit of a slow and steady improvement a lot of people happy about that, still a lot of people out of work. one of your colleaguess, vermont's governor, quoting from research i pulled, these republicans that are running for president they are so

depressing, cheer up. basically citing the president is creating jobs and governors are seeing revenues rebound. are you seeing revenues rebound in your state, jobs improving in your state as well? do you think the gop candidates are depressing? >> first of all, the situation is getting better. we wanted -- wasn't it to get

-- what has the president done for your state and what hasn't he done? what would you like to see in terms of revenue jobs and other issues? >> i think he's done what needs to be done, continue to foe counts the economy. i remember early in my administration, i went to dover and there was a rally amongst people in our building trades who were upset, throwing shoes at legislative hall saying you have to remember what it is like to all the politicians, what it is like to be in our shoes. that day i got up and tacked to them. what i promised them is i would be focused on putting people back to work. the refinery that many of them worked at that was closed is now reopened. i think the president, to his credit everyday is not getting distracted and he's focused on how we can improve the climate

over all. >> i would appreciate it so much, i know how closely you watch and guard what is going on in your state for your constituents to be specific about what programs and policies the president has in place now that have benefited your state in his term? >> first of all, as the overall climate goes up for everybody, it is good for us. his focus on community colleges and linking job training with real skills that are valued in the marketplace is incredibly important. i think the kind of predictability on his tax reforms, also important to employers in our states. what employers care about is access to talent. his focus on education improvement through race to the top. his focus on community colleges what employers in my state are looking for. >> interesting. let me ask you about independence, that was a voting bloc that the president was successful with this the first go round i'm curious about your state and position

having been on this meeting that was just democratic governors with president obama talking i'm sure a bit about the election. how do you ingratiate and not alienate the independents with the economy the way it is, maybe improving but requiring tremendous patience of voters? >> there's an incredible contrast now. the president is focusing on what independents and most voters care about, which is jobs. on the other side the republican candidates for president, incredibly, continued to be focus so much on the tea party. it is difficult for me, i'm not a pundit, but it is difficult to see how that works with independents. >> in what way are they focused on the tea party? >> for one thing in one of the defining moments of the campaign all eight of the candidates stood up in iowa and said they would reject a deal that had $10 of spending cuts for every dollar of revenue. all you have-i to do is look at delaware in 2010 to see what

happens when republican candidate as peel to a tea party in a primary. christine o'donnell beat mike castle, a well respected republican member of congress in our state she won the primary and chris coons came in and wond8úz; overwhelmingly because independents rejected the tea party approach and wanted somebody who was going to focus on what they care about, jobs, schools and being good stewards of the taxpayer's money. >> they rejected jobs, interesting, thank you for your thoughts. appreciate your time, sir. a california family looking for answers this weekend in their daughter's death. 11-year-old died friday night following a school fight with another girl. molly line is live with the latest this is sad, such a tragedy ain't highlights the senselessness of these stupid school fights.

these years is lost? >> my brother was killed in real life once. he was killed in sammy's book twice. she gives him an honorable mention in her book. i'm assuming from what i've read she going to make a movie. did sammy find a loophole because his movie never got produced from 20th century? is the pup bet master of it all? -- puppet master of it all, i'm sure? >> he may be out in five years he was convicted and pled guilty to killing 19 men, served five years for that you and some of the families started a website united crime victims.com what are you trying to do? >> to try to get a petition, this law hasn't been looked at in over 10 years so many cases have come since then this law needs to be amended that a family members cannot profit from the criminal of their

available only at the home depot. one coat does double duty. and fits our budget perfectly. so there's a brand-new room... ...right where the old one used to be. more saving. more doing. that's the power of the home depot. new glidden duo paint plus primer. only at the home depot. and starting at only $24.97 a gallon. what ? customers didn't like it. so why do banks do it ? hello ? hello ?! if youbank doesn't let you talk to a real perso24/7, you need an ally. hello ? ally bank. no nonsense. just people sense.

what to do about iran's disputed nuclear program from sanctions to a possible military straoeurbg by israel. how is the media handling this sensitive and dangerous issue? liz trotta fox news contributor joins us every sunday at this time. the media is all over the place on this issue. >> yeah, another one of those stories where the media coverage of the media coverage. everyone is talking about how the media is covering iran because they feel that and they know the media got suckered into going along with the iraq war in 2002, three. nobody wants to do the same again. the written press is pretty

successful in this. they've been for the most part cautious, unfortunately, broadcast networks have really and also some of the cable too, have really have this thing of two warriors squaring off it can happen any moment hide the children, find a bunker that's the mentality. let me give you an example of from salon.com the kind of comment going on. glenn greenwald says: >> well, musing, yes. i don't know how casual it is, there's a lot of.

so far, the ombudsman for "the new york times"s and "washington post" supposed to have entered the debate the ombudsman are the people that look at their own newspaper and say wait a minute you have done something wrong. they are cautioning that people are watching the coverage closely, readers and viewers and waiting to see if this hysteria, the kind that we had for the build-up in 2003 is going to happen again. interestingly enough, why you see the media wrestling with this the obama administration, contrary to the bush administration in 2003, wants this to sort of go away. they are trying to damp down this, not cheerleading for another -- tamp down this, not cheerleading for another war, at least a war with iran. intelligence agencies feeding a lot of press and media have said they've been careful to tamp it down they point out

repeatedly there's no hard evidence that iran is developing a nuclear bomb with military capacity. that's where we are now on this >> iae is kicked out or not permitted to -- visit some of the sites they want to see. then i see there is no evidence that you say, no move by iran said "the new york times" that iran is moving too make a nuclear bomb. >> u.n. did report it was interesting so many people in network television got this wrong, did report there is an increase in the production of a purer kind of nuclear fuel. again, they said this is not hard evidence of building a bomb. the mistakes are going to be coming down the road aplenty. >> we'll be watching or you will be watching, thanks liz that ds
