though they have a plan to stave it off they're not going to you know what's a reputation a reputation is by what you delivered in i did states can't deliver the united states can't deliver on its or its wars whether in iraq afghanistan or iraq drugs the new war with libya they're losers that the government did everything that they touch look at all the trillions of dollars the tens of trillions that have been pumped into the system since the panic of zero eight struck by the federal reserve by d.c. with the stimulus bailouts the big fails everything they do they turn to failure why would any thinking adults look at the republicans and the democrats and the incompetence to come off with a program that's going to salvage the nation it best years have incompetence looking to the same people that caused the problem to resolve it that's called insanity the business of america when i used to be a young man it used to be business now the business of america is war and you can

see why the new ones that obama's started and the old ones that he keeps going to later today we look at the americana campaign in iraq and discover whether it's military action was used for the right reasons. the people of the united states and their friends and allies will not live at the mercy of an outlaw regime that threatens the peace with weapons of mass murder his regime is an actor program to acquire and develop nuclear weapons and let there be no doubt about it we know for a fact there are that there is no time for a million dollars to go on the continuing search we have not yet shiny forty things that i would call a weapon. patriotism is the last refuge of scoundrels and i think these are scoundrels they have no argument now they have no defense for what they did the country is in the turbo international security situation but i think it's perilous

so they're attacking the patriotism of others. by the crackdown on protesters in assyria is picking up pace with reports of government forces have resumed storming the opposition stronghold of hama around one hundred forty people are said to have been killed over the past few days of the country the pressure is also mounting at the u.n. security council to take action that could help stop the violence that so far the members have been unable to reach consensus and russia which has a permanent seat on the council says its western partners are targeting president bashar al assad's regime moscow wants a more balanced approach that will push the warring sides of syria towards the dialogue argues that you know portnoy reports. the united nations security council wrapped up their second day of consultations surrounding the violence in syria with

what many believe is at least a draft text that each member of the security council will now bring back to their respective capitals there is a divide among security council members on where the condemnation lies the u.s. and its western allies believe there should be. direct condemnation against the syrian government and the syrian president for the crackdown against anti-government protesters that have been taking place since mid march yet other countries like russia china india brazil and others believe that there should be a much more balanced approach that would ever words are used in any text that is put forth by the security council should not exacerbate an already sensitive circumstance in syria now russia has said in the past that it opposes on balanced measures such as saying sions that could even bigger problem and the russian

ambassador to the united nations vitaly churkin has said that resolution dealing with libya he believes was dealt with very frivolous sleep and the security council can't help but keep that in mind when contemplating what the security council can and cannot do when it comes to the situation in syria ambassador churkin did it take a moment to speak with the press to elaborate on what discussions have been taking place so far here's a little bit of what he had to say concerned about sunday's collision of the gauntlet and we think that he says is the security council. because of signal in favor of political accommodation and in the world and the security council will convene again wednesday morning to continue taking on this issue of syria and all the violence that has been going on for more than four months after the u.n. mandate to protect civilians in libya has come under fire for the way it's being implemented well some conscious feel of the nato led coalition is using it to try

sanctioning killing which carries the death penalty of five months on there is little satisfaction and dictator free egypt. he's far from the best place to lead and the getting ready. and getting ready harkness. now of course being about. all much going to do. with a lot of loot and. they're very sad because our people are indeed tired even those who back the changes this young man is from the revolution youth can. he tries to remain optimistic if he says sounds a lot like south conviction that if they keep telling us late we've been living under mubarak for many many years too many i'd say but it's great what we did but we do need to be more patient and this is difficult we have a lot of problems rate me but we do need to wait for a little longer. recentre need to mistreat sions in countries where issue that this

patrolling the area one officer was killed in clashes between a possible special forces and their excerpts when the police took control of two disputed border crossings special forces were sent to the border by the possible government to enforce a trade ban on serbian imports it was in response to belgrade existing embargo on possible goods in place since cost of those unilateral declaration of independence in two thousand eight. hundred eighty and film director says that serbia is under pressure from the e.u. to recognise kossovo. the situation in kosovo is very unstable this is due to the illegal acts of the so-called government of course of all it is not helping out of stocks of course in the negotiations that are due to continue to september and the whole escalation of violence is simply not going towards a peaceful solution that everybody is hoping for considering that the international

community has an interest in solving the so-called north cost of the issue it would not be unreasonable to suggest that they are trying to sort of fits this issue as fast as possible and i strongly believe that if force is necessary to do what they have planned they will use it and we must also remind ourselves that the e.u. asks belgrade as an unwritten prerequisite to recognize close was independence and this would mean the belgrade should accept possibles sovereignty and territorial territorial integrity which which is very complicated to explain to people in serbia this escalation of violence of course is not helping belgrade because. the people of serbia. see this as a provocation and it is making their sentiments and gainst reaching compromise. not not very favorable tried your side serbia has already made many concessions from the so-called republican polls so they recognize their documents their i.d.'s their

license plates so i think calling for the albanians to negotiations is another call for serbs to accept more things that are just leading to serve you recognizing kosovo. now let's take a look at some other top news from around the world at least thirty four people have been killed and dozens injured in two days of clashes in be ongoing violence in a pakistan city of karachi reports say bodies were found scattered across different parts of the country's largest city somewhat riddled with bullets and they're showing signs of torture police believe about two hundred people were killed in karachi in july alone the city has a long history of ethnic religious sense of terry and violence among the city's main political parties. program off the forces of launched a counterattack against rebels near the western a libyan city of the tonic killing at least seven people taking control of the top is a key step for rebels who plan to advance from there to the capital tripoli gadhafi
