the one piece of information that i got from john is that -- mr. haley, is that if we did not use this level of overtime we would not provide the 98% of service we are providing, it would sink to 96 pk or below level service. the bottom line is, if we don't use overtime, you are impacting service delivery. >> one additional fact i want to point out if a statistical standpoint, scheduled overtime, built into the skell jewels, built off the contract an scheduling capabilities but built off the work rules and policies in our contracts, is approximately 80% of the overtime that you're seeing here. there's actually the remain 20g% is kind of what you call management discretion or unscheduled overtime that we do have some clear day-to-day responsibility in terms of controlling. as we go through these contract negotiations, once we hopefully have a negotiated contract or arbitrated contract, that will change the rules of the game in some way in terms of overtime usage, sick leave usage, all those things that we have discussed with you as a board. >> so the mess

haley barbour talked about the troops coming home from afghanistan. there may be varying degrees but many republicans are having questions now. >> are john mccain and lindsey graham, are they wrong, out of the mainstream? >> i think we have a difference of opinion. the republican party, there are some who believe that the president should have unlimited or inherent powers to commit war and then there are those of white house think the president should be restrained by the constitution that congress should declare war as intended. this just a difference of opinion. but the republican party is not monolithic. the new york tombs this week had a poll that had 46% of republicans saying we immediate to have a reduced footprint in afghanistan so i think you will see candidates coming towards ron paul and i think what you saw in the debate the other night. >> senator rand paul, congressman kucinich. remarkable to see you together nodding your heads in agreement. appreciate your time tonight. we will stay in touch in the days ahead. pakistan anger it is white house by detaining the inform apartments who helped the united states find osama bin laden. next, does the
