7:05 pm
revolutions is to abstain from supporting a leader just based on how convenient they are for the west rather than how much they can do for their people going to check on our t. washington d.c. and british history in the middle east expert terry says the u.s. has been playing a dangerous game while he's trying folds in egypt. the attempts made by. mubarak's deputy to cry and crush the demonstrators through violence free. ben the choice is very clear either they call in the army to carry out a blood department buried square in front of the world and that was too risky an option for the gyptian army because it might have split the army the generals might have carried out the orders if the pentagon had approved them but young officers whose children whose families whose brothers and sisters involved in this uprising might have desisted so it was
7:06 pm
a very serious risk for washington and in the end they decided it would be safe to dump mubarak and mubarak then refused to carry out orders from the pentagon but only for twenty four hours he resisted for one day in the next day he was gone because the army told him he had to go and the ya me. freedom marshall power week the defense minister as we've already heard is a close ally of the pentagon then takes orders direct the big question washington has is nothing should happen to destabilize their permanent israel that is all they're concerned about and they're also concerned about the effects of this are people now on jordan on yemen and who knows even in saudi arabia and bahrain so regardless of what washington wants it to try to control the situation. and in

a few minutes more analysis on the ripples writing out from they gyptian on read. our military expert examine how the president of afghanistan is trying to shield himself from the repetition of the events in cairo and also. we've made a lot of countries that are so vital for the interest we're playing so it's good for us to be in doubt you think so i'm. not that. deep in doubt can be us there before bankruptcy comes along came the resident drive to find out on new york street. as americans begin looking to next year's presidential election in the country an economic crisis potential candidates from the republican party are slugging it out on issues including abortion gun ownership and the place of religion in public life but with the you are still fighting two wars abroad one of the biggest topics of discussion will be military spending. has been looking into some of the new political faces on the scene who could be vying for the white. if
7:08 pm
you've been wondering who i am one of you. could possibly are we going to let washington co-op the tea party. one day become the next u.s. president. while i'm not at this time a candidate for the presidency i will decide by june whether and i will become one of the if you came to the right party and that's precisely what it was undervalued to see pack everything here the fact that that's the united states you can. get just a stone's throw away and though he hasn't officially announced it it is going to take a lot more of the new rhetoric to put americans back to work it's going to take a new president all eyes were on mitt romney but make this very clear if i were to decide to run for president who according to a recent rasmussen poll leaves obama in a potential presidential race in two thousand and twelve and who just recently
7:09 pm
opposed the new start treaty which would limit the amount of nuclear weapons in both the united states and russia and which was supported by leadership of both parties neustar needs our national security. and potential candidate michele bachmann had quite a few eloquent things to say about u.s. foreign policy particularly china with all the money that we owe china i think we might rightly say who is your daddy but in this interview when discussing foreign policy bachmann it wasn't joking this is the time where we need to be on red hot alert five alarm alert and instead of throwing back and taking our weapons off the table we need to go and another presidential hopeful has been gearing up for years now especially when it comes to dealing with iran and ahmadinejad he gets to wipe out tel aviv maybe this really is use nuclear weapons to iran he would accept that in a minute. because he believes everybody into iran goes to heaven and everybody in tel
7:10 pm
aviv does and now he's really angry at the u.s. president the obama administration is wrong on terrorism wrong on iran wrong in the muslim brotherhood wrong on hezbollah but hating obama is where the agreement seems to end because this year here is the compromise that conservatives also will have to make we will have to look long and hard at the military budget. was good we knew there had to be some change and so. some fresh faces are willing to say in with the new out with the old but establishment republicans there may be the temptation to axe everything including the defense but still have something to say and the money to not only say it but also to believe that the united states is becoming the laughing stock of the world but when realistic ideas too often get drowned out you cannot say that the doubling of the
7:11 pm
military budget in the last ten years has all been spent wisely and that there's not any waste in the job. you just be on the use. of the saucy r. t. washington d.c. . no matter who becomes the next american president he or she will have to face the growing challenge of a massive budget deficit with the current us budget deficit topping one trillion dollars some analysts fear the u.s. is paused the point of no return his new york president knowing often as to the streets of coffee to find out if people really think america is set to hit rock bottom. the u.s. has a new budget coming out can america ever go bankrupt this week let's talk about that well we're already bankrupt so it's like credit card debt i mean.
7:12 pm
can you go at what point you hit bottom and what point do you start screaming about it china has too much invested in dollar to let america go bankrupt so now we're something that someone else has to take care of. right now but if anything happens there's going to other countries who are going to do that for us is that fair. it's . not saying that everything's alright rosy at this point we're certainly not at a critical point and i think what you're pointing out is the fact that we need increased global cooperation it's not just a problem that can be fixed unilaterally either within the within the euro or within the us economy it's something that has to be fixed globally how do you stop spending when you've got. thirty three hundred million people to make sure that they're healthy and have enough food and all that kind of stuff. how do you. you know. you have to. cut it other places maybe stop going to
7:13 pm
war with so many people. the real work from me there's a lot of countries that are survivable for the interest we're paying so it's good for us to be in doubt you think. not this watch isn't ok that our country is built on a deficit system. but if you look at a lot of companies now they are so no it's not but we should rebuild on a surplus either do you think the rest of the world needs us to be in that yes i do feel like questions like these are sort of useless to people like me because it feels like it has nothing to do with me at all whether or not you think america can ever go bankrupt the bottom line is with a deficit that continues to grow something's got to give one way or another.
