parties organized dozens of tea parties mr chairman our grassroots efforts are engaged they're energized and they're ready to fight for their freedom and if you try to raise our taxes. on our liberties we're going to beat you or make your life. thank the members flatly deny the charge that they are astroturf the nine given to fight crossfire it's organizations that are essentially corporate fronts it's nonsense that there is no such thing among our our people as astroturfing i'm here with four hundred fifty other people from north carolina and we're all individuals. to find out more about this in the three sleep publicity shy brothers and their company koch industries i turn to a man who's been investigating this for a number of years. from the environmental group grain koch industries is the company nobody's ever heard of it's the second or first largest private company in this country we don't know how much money they make they're primarily a refining company and pipeline company they now have expanded into paper and chemicals acquiring other companies in recent years there worldwide b

sweep and it tea party title away in the biggest line found for either party since nineteen forty eight the new one hundred twelfth congress will feature forty tea party members a lot of libertarian leaning individuals within that tea party movement especially when it comes to taxes and over regulations they end up to this agenda that is taking us in the wrong direction it's a message of. limited constitutional government in principle you since you got the regulation in the you. know washington has become law. there's a new day now the republicans took control of the house in november two thousand and ten very anti government agenda in fact one of their agenda items is to you know take out four government agencies like the part of education part of energy. when you have politicians elected who want to shut down the government it sets a pretty interesting tone for the debate for me this new found zeal for the koch's radical free market audiology is the real where evolution of the tape party movement has nothing to do with people any old cost frames waving flags holding protest of things

we can't tea party loot made at meetings together of course the tea party movement was started during the last campaign when there was a special day where they raced six million dollars spontaneously the city. was to be was the beginning of it but no i don't feel threatened. i'll use it to threaten but what's really interesting about this is ron paul went and back this up because he didn't go to the fox news reception after he didn't go sit and be skewered by haddadi like last time you know but looking going on he went to his own event that he was it was a for you know there was a tea party you had organized ron paul jordan page was there playing veterans for ron paul were there he went to his own thing he backed out it's interesting on fox cause of the founding father which he is right after the movement got hijacked by haley back and you're right it looks right here but let's really look take a point of what he showed bachmann is the show bachmann really she really is a social conservative wrapped up in some tea party language she michele bachmann is not a true tea party constitutio

what is the theme to the tea party what is the tea party about is it about just opposing this opposing that opposing this or is there if agree to be and that idea i submit to the idea i want to show you one today is the idea of the rights of man the basic issue at stake is the destruction of the rights of those who produce in the united states and the tea parties of course are the battleground. we are today as an army we are the thin line between freedom and the status of popeil they want to create freedom is a wonderful thing to fight for it's time for us to join the army and that's something we all look at it. in nashville i met up with a collection of libertarian groups crossing the country pitching guerilla tactics for free market ideals over two hundred years ago guys a group of people just like you did something extraordinary ordinary people doing extraordinary things they were activists just like you i truly believe that they were activists then we are activists now make no distinction about it so what we do we become digital activists we had it by the media we learned the media

tea party and tea party about. far from being patriots, those original tea partiers were mostly smugglers. some of them among the wealthiest man in america, christians. among them, john hancock. yes, the john hancock is both signature and the declaration of independence left his name synonymous with the word signature. before he put his john hancock on the declaration of independence, he was arguably -- arguably the wealthiest merchant anchoring america living in an opulent mansion on top of boston's beacon hill with a commanding view of the masters of landscaping seascape. far from espousing his fellow merchants in new england governed their businesses and communities with economic worthlessness that often left competitors homelessness. by today's tea party movement, the colonial tea party had almost nothing to do with tea. tea was nothing more than a social beverage for wealthy men in. it ranked out of the riches they consume most. the tea party movement to start the american revolution actually began 20 years ea

there is no money coming into that party, no official party staff. a successful convention and gave her a big mandate, promised quebecers to reopen the language debate. you cannot help to think these results are not divorced from reality for we live in a world where where all of this takes place at the same time. mr. duceppe was front and cente. the numbers sank so for the love quÉbecois to turn around now and they will stephen harper is going to have quÉbec and jack layton will not protect these province of the credibility gap. to mr. harper's leadership leadership views unpopular in quÉbec and have been for a long time over his tenure, he has never found a. if you stay below 40%. so well for the urzua ring with even harper's directions, they have been having their discussion of the progressive versus conservative taboo and in the mvp was the logical choice. the difference was not as he was suggesting that is quÉbec and should go away. is that stephen harper -- there progressive and values and that layton -- will have to come back and for your showi

chris: they're getting that 218 and you need a solid party majority, overwhelming party vote and i don't think they can get the tea party vote. and the democrats are not playing ball on this. this could be an armageddon moment for this country this summer. before we break, speaking of newt, he's made the big mistake of big-shot politics and saying it's dumb to parade their wealth. the gingriches had a revolving account at tiffany's, the jewelry store, which ran into hundreds of thousands of dollars. the two bush brothers in 1998 weren't thinking either back, and bush 43 was 12 years ahead of running himself. they didn't mind clowning around about being he leastists. >> i'd like to make an award to a guy a came in fourth. the annual george herbert walker bush elitist bowl. >> in horseshoe land i accept this. >> father, congratulations, george, get this out of your face and tell them what you think of the winner. >> i love popcorn. chris: wow, in 2008 john mccain was already a presidential nominee, but he wasn't ready to answer this question -- >> how many houses do you and mrs. mccain hav

my predecessor republican changed parties while he was mayor, and my successor republican changed parties about two years ago, so i don't know who i go back to. [laughter] for example, this is a city that didn't vote for abraham lincoln. [laughter] you get an idea of how democratic it is. [laughter] i love being a republican mayor of new york city because i got accused once of appointing too many republicans. well, i appointed all six republicans in new york city. [laughter] i couldn't possibly have appointed too many republicans. i couldn't find any. i used a republican approach to governing. i borrowed a great deal of it from ronald reagan who i know you're especially come men rating at -- honoring at this meeting. the idea we should get government spending under control, and i learned that from having having the honor of working with ronald reagan, and the president appointed me as associate attorney general. after i was appointed but before the con fir ration hearings were completed, i had a breakfast with 19 other people with president reagan and got to know him, and the day that i h

the tea party, i tried to get these party whipped up.d up, but over the last couple years, you people have whipped america into stiff peaks, like a meringue. i don't know if you bake, but that's a compliment. >> thank you. we're trying. it's all about the passion. it's all about fiscal responsibility. you can't spend more than you make. our government is out there charging with our credit card. >> stephen: i can because i know i'll just make it back tomorrow. now, let's trash talk a little bit. you're the chairman of the tea party patriots. >> tea party express. [audience reacts] >> stephen: okay. what is the difference? is the tea party express, is that like holiday inn express? do you come with a continental breakfast is what i'm asking? >> we're the buses that go across the country. >> stephen: oh, you're the bus people. >> we're the bus people. >> stephen: fantastic. you were a delta flight attendant. >> i was a della flight attendant. i love to travel. >> stephen: if i worked for delta, i would prefer a bus as well. >> it's a bus in

think of the hubris here these two parties have spoiled our elections they've spoiled argh. they spoiled our pollsters making him a popular contender but not a champion neither was steve forbes but he did for ever change the third party approach to presidential races using thirty seven million of his own he made it so that money was no object for candidates running outside the well oiled two party system but no amount of money could buy steve forbes or ralph nader the white house that year. in two thousand both nader and forbes were back running this time kim known as the spoiler who paved the way for a george w. bush victory jump forward to two thousand and eight a decade after his first presidential run ron paul stepped back into the limelight are you running for president. with the tea party joining his stride in the political landscape changing his stance for me in steadfast but america wasn't ready to hear is message you know during the campaign before i talked about the economic crisis that nobody quite understood was coming in the housing bubble burst i think that gav

the republican party from the time when i was a kid, 70- something years, they are a party of whiners. "no" against everything. we finally have a president who has some smarts and is a decent person. all they do to him is say no and cut him up instead of working with him. thank you so much. guest: i do think that we are going to have to come together and set aside the differences that we have. i am very hopeful that the negotiations being led by vice president joe biden her on the issue of raising the debt limit will yield the kind of bipartisan solutions that we need in order to move forward. we must move beyond the practice of political posturing to try to score political points and put in place decisions that will move this country forward to help serve the people that we were elected to represent. there has been an lot of obstructionism particularly in the last congress. i hope we can move beyond that in this congress. host: congressmen the show, this t -- congressman bishop, this tweet coming in -- guest: yes, we should drill more. this is one of the reasons why the debate is not

hamas is a political party. it emerged as a political party. it appears as a political party.nd it is an organization, it is a resistance movement trying to protect its country unde occupation. so we should not mix terrorist organizations with such an organization. and they entered into the election. they won the eleion. they had ministers and they had parliamentpeakers who were imprisoned by israel. ministers and members of parliament in israel prisons. where is terrorism? they enter into elections, and after the elections, this is how they reacted. i mean, calling them terrorists, this would be disrespectful to their policy and people. >> rose: mr. mashal, who i have interviewed, he is not prepared to recognize at this time the right of israel to exist. and he says that the resistance will end when the occupation. and he set up what he believes are the requirements for the resistance to end, which as you know is the right of return, capital in jerusalem, 67 borders and lippination of the settlements. >> many of them were accepted before. 67 borde were accepted and by accepti

movement but they do work collaboratively with tea party groups so tea parties are not funded by any particular republican group or any particular you know brotherhood as such we are self funding and if tea party groups choose to work with those groups who can provide additional resources to help get our message out i don't see a problem with that though we welcome funding if there is any out there for why would women work for a group. and not just the tea party but the more conservative agenda in general but you can look at the legislative record here trying to redefine rape as you know you have to prove that it was forcible. fighting equal pay for equal work. the doing you know defunding the women in from the wic program when you know temporary assistance for women infants and children in crisis i mean literally defunding that so they can give tax breaks to people like the koch brothers and dick armey i don't understand why anyone would say well i don't think that they're defunding those programs to give tax breaks to those i think what they're talking about is the principle of def

candidate or breaking away from the two party system is that people simply won't vote for a third party candidate yeah our poll results were amazing and they may be a sign that something has substantially changed america certainly never in the past has there been that level of willingness to for people to vote for a third party candidate you also have to understand that beyond the ideological barriers there are enormous financial and legal barriers for third party candidates to succeed merely getting on the ballot if you're not hooked up with the republicans or democrats are going to cost you a stunning amount of money a stunning amount of volunteer labor it's a huge barricade that the two parties have created towards opposition i was excited by the results of our recent poll i must say and i'm a tiny bit doubtful that we'll see that payoff in two thousand and twelve and also because i'm not sure who this third party leader on the horizon would be i mean the most interesting guy out there seems to be who we're talking about ron paul and he is seeking other republican nomination right no

i'm like i'm going to throw a party for these guys. i'm a tea party guy. told the republican establishment -- >> host: what's the biggest myth about the tea party. you keep saying you're a tea party guy. >> guest: obviously, the biggest myth is that it's racist. >> host: and it's not. >> guest: no. i believe -- i believe if black people who feel inside of the inner city or wherever they live -- if they were just simply to walk to a tea party and just sit amongst people, an actor. you know how to act. go out there and shake people's hands. if you're skeptical of them, go out there and ask questions of them. >> host: but the left -- >> guest: they don't want to. >> host: that would be their worst nightmare. >> guest: that's right. >> host: they want to tell them who they are. >> guest: yes. >> host: they don't want -- >> guest: what i want more than anything, this is my legacy. i dedicated that book to clarence thomas. i met jenny thomas. she came up to me -- i've told this story more times -- i told it to everybody, and i was at an event in washington and i

it was a party newspaper for the american party which eventually folded into the republican party. they are opposed to people aggression and drummond the palaces and. they are opposed to foreigners holding office, opposed to nunneries and the jesuits. opposed to secret foreign orders and so on. they wanted to restrict immigration, but particularly restrict the rights of roman catholics to vote and to hold office. now, the republican party was the offspring of these two strains, the anti slavery strain and the anti catholic. when i say antislavery, keep in mind that the republican party, most of the people in the republican party did not care about slavery where it already existed. they wanted to keep the territories white. they wanted to keep slaves out of the territories. a white man could have opportunity there because they believed that any place where slaves go whites cannot compete obviously because slaves don't take wages. the republican party built itself and bills itself as the white man's party. here we have abraham lincoln debating stephen douglas in that famous 1858 sena

because one of the comments about the tea party is that they've been co-opted by the republican party or co-opted by big money like the koch brothers billionaires so how do you actually make a viable third party in this system that we have any less. well you have to have a strong leader someone like ron paul in grow up people. you know people who are wealthy but it's. i think that's all we're going to hear from shelly right now but i want to thank you so much for being on our show and talking about ron paul's latest announcement now meanwhile as you heard ron paul was a major military noninterventionist so we go from him to our group arguably the globe's largest interventionist nato the secretary general of the western military alliance needs but the u.s. president today barack obama in washington and he's been on a bit of a speaking tour in the u.s. as well this week now the north atlantic treaty organization has continued plowing forward with missions military missions in the decades after the cold war while continuing to try and explain and find a reason to tray and my horrible fri

tea party and tea party movement were about. far from being patriots, those original tea partiers were mostly smugglers. some of them, among the wealthiest man in america, merchants. oman them, john hancock, yes, they john hancock whose bold signature was on the declaration of independence and left his name synonymous with the word signature. long before he put his john hancock on the declaration of independence, he was arguably among, arguably the wealthiest merchant banker in america living in an opulent mansion on top of boston's beacon hill with a commanding view of the massachusetts landscape and seascape. far from espousing individual liberty, hancock and his fellow merchants in new england governed their businesses and communities with economic ruthlessness that often left their competitors homeless and penniless. like today's tea party movement, the colonial tea party had almost nothing to do with tea. t. was nothing more than a social beverage for wealthy women. men seldom drank it and it ranked below ale and from among

as you point out, the black panther party had all kinds of programs. as a matter of fact, a free breakfast program that is run by the department of agriculture, that idea emanated with the black panther party because the assumption was children couldn't learn if they were hungry. very simple. but no one else had done it. >> what happened? a question a lot of people ask, if the panthers are so engaged, involved, committed, had such great ideas, how did they disband, fall apart? why are not they still in motion today? >> there is a new black panther party. >> very different organization. >> exactly. exactly. but if you look at the 10-point program that the black panther party developed, you see this schools and health care and into the occupation of the police in black communities and all the other things are still very much on our agenda. the demand has never been fulfilled. they are still there. we still need food. we still need clothing. we still need schools. we still need an end to police occupation. we still need something done about the enormous n

so much talk about the tea party and the tea party's influence in washington.ere known as a tea party senator and candidate, embraced by the tea party, but you have your independence from the tea party caucus. what has the tea party or the tea party sentiment, what kind of impact has it had on the debates we're having in washington? >> first let's remind ourselves was it was. it was everyday americans tired of the country, often tired of the direction both parties were taking our country, and they wanted people to come up here and change direction. and i think for the first time in quite a while, you're seeing a debate in washington about how much to cut. in the past, it was about how much to reduce the increases. now there's a real debate about how much to cut and i think that's an important influence and important impact. on the other hand, we need to remind ourselves that our problems are big and they're moving very fast. they're moving faster than perhaps any problems our country's ever faced have moved. i think the real risk is are our problems moving fast

and people across the world celebrates workers' solidarity trade unions as well as political parties and news movements are taking opportunity to express themselves. take thirty one our next start is exclusive interview with the president of yemen he describes his view of the unrest in the arab world right now as a leader that's fallen victim to themself. for our guest today is the president of the republic of yemen ali up to last mr president please tell us your opinion as to what caused the current crisis in yemen i'm looking at have happened behind the scenes. the crisis in yemen did not occur today back in two thousand and six after the presidential election differences emerged attorney general people's congress party and parties of the united opposition despite the fact that the election had been transparent and fair and had been monitored by international observers who reaffirmed it had been fair the opposition considered it undemocratic and did not accept its result of discontent was first peaceful and then it grew along with criticism and rallies and events in tunisia and egy

bush republican party that is the standard republican party as representative of we've got a great that for them our duty just think the second. that we've gotten back is the same old thought it government and the party that got up with this situation and the folks i'm sorry but that's just so what's next for the southern avenger jack. well i would think. a lot of that if they called it off until i get. the american. public if your doctor are outstanding that was southern avenger jack hunter of southern avenger got calm now i just love the way he talks i might even retire to south carolina just to be surrounded by people that talk like him all the time and now the end of the world yes once again the end of the world is here ok so it's tomorrow but that doesn't mean you shouldn't get ready by repenting or holding a rapture party which many christians are doing openly mocking pastor harold camping who for the second time is predicting the end of the world so don't worry this probably doesn't mean that i'm a source and yours illegitimate locks are going to be bringing down sign it in twent

i'm a tea party guy. >> host: what's the biggest myth of the tea party? >> guest: b obviously the biggest myth is that it's racest. >> host: it's not. >> guest: no. i believe that if black people who feel inside of the inner city or wherever they live, if they were just simply to walk to a tea party and just sit amongst people, be an actor, shake people's hands. if you are skeptical about them, ask questions of them. >> host: the left says no. >> guest: they don't want to. >> host: that's their worse nightmare. >> guest: right. >> host: they want to tell them who they are. >> guest: that's what i want more than anything. this is my legaciment i dedicated that book to clarence thomas. i meant jenni thomas. she came up to me. i told this story more times -- i told it to everybody, and i was at an event in washington, and i didn't know who this lady who was tapped me on the shoulder, and she just told me who she was, and it freaked -- i couldn't deal with the -- it was -- it's huge. you have no idea what that man, you know, meant to me, you know, the stoicis

or your state party. i ran for chairman of this party because i am concerned about the future of this country. i know that we have a battle to fight. i know that we have to save america, and that is why i ran for chairman of this party. we're the only organization in america that can koran in a ground operation, our election the operation, our phone calls, door-to-door, the ballots, we're the only entity in america that can take our operation and coordinate it with a presidential candidate. i believe that all of us in this room have been blessed in different ways, everyone of us, but in order for us, because you're with me, right, we have a battle for freedom to fight. in order to make barack obama a one-term president, to save our country, we have to work together. i am here to say thank-you, but i am also here to engage you and invite you into the rnc family, to come to work with us. we will come to work with you, but let's work together and save our country, and in the process, we will save our party.

that's what we're delivering, something never done by the party opposite. >> mr. james gray? >> mr. speaker, the people of england have most to lose against scottish independence abortup of the union as to the people of scotland. will then the prime minister give all of the votes of the referendum? >> my view is clear if the scottish parliament wants to hold a referendum i think that would be a retrograde step but if they would to hold that referendum we have to grant that referendum. i wanto make sure we keep it together. it would involve a vote for people in the scotland, not a vote for the rest of the united kingdom. >> i'm a very generous person. i compliment the government and not to the human trafficking directive. but the reason support by the scottish children's commissioner he could identify 200 children trafficked into scotland at 1,000 children into the national u.k. most bodies recommend that the u.k. government appoint a guardianship for children. how can they give the house an assurance that the u.k. is actually prepared for the responsibility that comes up to -- >> i

not just national parties but parties of the say to the left of the globe what about being an inspiration for those last minutes but again it's for the people of those countries to say what we want to do we would never support can do in violence in any shape or form clearly if other countries wish to pursue an agenda then they'll get a great deal of sympathy from us as others do but certainly violence would not be totally today near in shape or form and we've been elected to monday it's one is to pursue a clean for independent scotland and the right for the referendum equally we relate to the government to make scotland the police and we seek to do that by driving a record of your forward to making your country theatre a good inner city for wealthier and healthier it's got and it's gained its independence how do you see your relationship with the year in union changing do you not think that you would miss it in significant. well at all countries are interdependent new nation no matter how large is entirely independent in the world in which we live whether it's dealing with global warming

fox news is having a party.y is tough, some might sure you bring your driver's license and your long for a driver's license. if you are blind, just bring that dynamite smile. the new york times party used to be free, but tonight there is a cover. like everyone else, i will probably just go to the huffington post party. the of the deposed party is asking other people to go to other parties first, still food and drinks, and bring it there. -- steal food and drinks, and bring it there. i love auriana huffington. she sounds like a woman who should be sitting up in bed with a sheet wrapped -- with the sheet wrapped around her while james bond lost to the door. andrew breitbart's after party will be crazy. it will not be good, but it will be crazy. i met james o'keefe st night. i thought it was them, but it may have been a regular pap to disliked organized labor. hal wildcat a party be when it is held in accordance to shariah law? this is the year o sweeping changes happening. katie couric and now shes leaving cbs. sh

tea party. if you do not bode to raise it debt ceiling, you score 100 and you are here. everything else, the writers come but the appeals, it is just smoke and mirrors. this is your account. we will be judging the house republicans and their democratic colleagues on one issue only -- did you vote for more debt? that is it. red ink requires pay slips. federal lace up -- pink slips. boehner aims to maintain full federal employment while the private sector bears the brunt of the washington economic collapse. i wish our tier full house speaker would just show some compassion for american taxpayers and our children, put me in his -- but he and mr. ryan had already surrendered to president obama. it is a cowardly act of treason against coming generation, it we may give him something really to cry about in 2012. hunting season opens. i have my musket but there is a flower in it. we did not do $7 million damage in wisconsin, by the way. we say, stock these pro-debt rino's with phone calls. they will vot

. >> joining us on "newsmakers" is jack kimball, the chair of the new hampshire republican party and matt strawn of the chair of the iowa republican party joining us from manchester and des moines, respectively. here at the table is jonathan karl of abc news, senior political correspondent, and david catanese, the national political correspondent for politico. thank you for joining us. jack kimball, let me begin with you with donald trump's visit to new hampshire this past week. what impact will his potential candidacy have or has it had on the other republicans in this field? >> hard to tell right now. it was an interesting visit. he certainly draws a crowd. but i think that what we're going to see here in new hampshire is -- and we do a pretty good job of it, we tend to do a good job of adding the candidates. he has to get in front of the people like the rest of the candidates. we have a broad field, a very good field and donald trump is going to find if he's going to be successful in new hampshire he'll have to return many times and he'll have to do the retail politicking that is

by law, no political party -- they cannot all be of one party. i had a very cordial relationship with all of my commissioners. we never once while i was there had a partisan difference, but we did have a philosophical difference. most of them did not think the fcc should be as active as i wanted to be. what i want to intervene on getting a station in a new york which was a non-commercial station, i had some trouble with my colleagues. the first day i was there, congress asked us for our position on public funding for educational television. six commissioners said it's not our business. i said it is our business. we are here to serve the public interest. it's our business. there were different philosophical views but in terms of our personal relationships, they were always very, very good. >> i was a chairman with mr. minow on the digital project which has a research center which will help transform and have a lifelong retraining. i think it's worth hearing about his interest at this time as opposed to his role in the past. >> larry is the former

by the scottish national party now the biggest party in scotland has produced a photo i suspect from the united kingdom he spoke to justice minister and mccaskill about his vision for a possible full independence. today i'm in edinburgh talking to kenny macaskill who is the scottish justice minister he's a member of the scottish national party which of course recently gained enough votes to be able to promise a referendum on scottish independence within the next five years kenny macaskill thank you for talking to us now tell me first what would scotland gain from independence well who grew of being control over a resources for you to responsibility for the problems fiesinger a country going to be able to stand up and speak to the issues that matter to us. taking charge of the whole me through that we have a voice abroad and how would it work economically and socially well scotland's a rich country we have the largest oil and gas producer of the european union we not only have a boat in terms of oil and gas but you know about your terms of renewables are drug free for the first time y

nobody, the republican party nor the democratic party has talked about china.hina is teering -- tearing us up. we lost 13,000 on the oil rigs. we haven't started redrilling that. obama hasn't done anything. he said well, you know, get green. host: matt, mr. trump has been talking a lot abo china. guest: that's obviously the emerging bilateral relationship that's going to have the most impact on the future. the chinese economy overtakes the u.s. economy in the world. slam slapping an import on chinese products is a threat. i don't think it is likely to happen. there is no doubt the devaluation of their currency impacts trade and our economy. don't think the chinese respond well to threats. certainly not from someone like donald trump. you mention he's filed bankruptcy three times. i suppose in our current economic state facing record-breaking deficits his personal experience with bankruptcy may be useful. apart from that, i don't think donald trump has good ideas. he's talked about seizing libyan oil. these are not ideas people should take seriously. host: in 20

it must be agreed by the parties. no one can forcen agreement on either party, so israel will have to consent to any borders that are the subject of an agreemen and wenowfrom our discussns with them, extensive discussns over two years,hat ey will not agree to borders that threaten their security. so that should be clear. this requires the consent of the two pties. the second point is swaps which means exchanges of territory. and that has developed over many years precisely to accommodate the reality that large israeli population centers will be incorporated into israel and the security needs dependent upon that and whatever other security needs israel needs wilbe met. third, the identical proposal, ides cal in meaning and almost identical in the very words was made by the prime minister of israel just couple of years ago. ehud olmert was the prim minister and he made that propal as part of a broader package to the palestinians. now, no one would charge, i think, that the prime minister of israel would endanger israel'
