i've got it sounds president counties i call the united states talk around altering officials to take over the american run prison after a bank run two months after control of the facility was teaching us into up to her . texas wants to pull away from the usa in fact at least twenty states have started petitions for independence after obama won the election with well just a few voting irregularities but guess what suspicion will never happen it is a very easy thing to do decide to petition and it is another thing entirely to leave us a little civil war thing that happened back then does anyone the usa honestly think that they are gov has the ball determination to actual rebel i don't think there is a single george washington type among them well maybe just see for tour a kind of but he's out of office how do what makes it seem like revolution or succession is this fun cool easy thing to do with cool slogans and texan flags flying but the reality looks a lot more like the arab spring before you put your name on the dotted line as a seed you should really understand what that means and

afghanistan's afghanistan's president karzai calls the united states to account ordering officials now to take over the american one prisoner bag two months after control of that facility was due to have passed into afghan hands or got more now later in the program. but another bad day for the eurozone with france stripped of its treasured aaa credit rating to date for a second time this year this time it was the downgrade courtesy of moody's which condemned the bloc second biggest economy is stagnant and exposed crisis strategy just margaret says the time is running out for euro zone giants to act. the european union economically as it stands is an unsustainable organization's an unsustainable financial and economic mess so with this downgrade actually i think it's pushing france and germany and some of the bigger countries to do is recreate the european union and i mean stop supporting some of the other economies such as responsible spain italy and you know kind of regroup and recreate near kenya in order for the european union generally and france this it quickly to reset itself the

brings the death toll in staten island from sandy to 19 out of at least 90 total in the united states. some officials in staten island also said today they were upset with the city's decision to go on with the new york city marathon this sunday. the reason for upset is the marathon starts in staten island at the entrance, and staten island frankly has a lot on its plate right now. marathon organizers and mayor bloomberg are defending the decision to go on with the race citing in part the economic activity it generates for the city. across the hudson river we've been focusing on the ongoing flooding crisis in hoboken, new jersey, over the last couple days. the water receding dramatically overnight. the national guard still on hand in hoboken. they're now delivering supplies to residents. residents who today got their first look at what the water left behind. mud and debris and a whole lot of mess. you may have heard subways started running again in new york city today. that is sort of true. tunnels under the rivers surrounding manhattan are still flooded and almost half of the island is still without

. >> we have not been given any serious, official support from either the united states or the u.k.y of the surrounding arab countries. >> why has this received so little attention, do you think? >> the only explanation i can come up with, is that too many people in positions of power and authority in the new iraq have been, in one way or another, found with their hands inside the cookie jar. and if they are brought to trial, it will cast a very disparaging light on those people who had supported them and brought them to this position of power and authority. >> nobody wants to get to the bottom of it. >> in practice, no. >> since our report first aired, a lot of things have changed in iraq, the biggest being the withdrawal of american military forces. since ali allawi left his post in early 2006, he has returned to his teaching position at oxford university, and has also taught at harvard and princeton. among other changes, judge radhi, the man with the most dangerous job in iraq, fled the country and sought asylum in the united states. as for the man he was investigating, ziad catt

united states. we have a political recession. we have the inability of elected officialso sit together in a room and do the people's business. i think we all need to start acting like adults and doing the right thing for the future of our country. >> well, amen to that. let me ask you about your business. your bread and butter is private equity. you're putting money to work in various industries, including energy. this week, you launched two investment funds distributed by charles schwab. why the move? is this the sign of the times that private equity is becoming more of a traditional management company? >> no, i mean, when you look at the amount of capital in the hands of individual investors and the capital that's managed by registered investment advisers, in the united states alone it's $19 trillion. >> wow. >> that's far greater than the amount of institutional capital. until recently, we didn't have the track record and expertise in the firm to create products that fit that market. the market basically wants liquidity and yield. we started a credit business in 2004.

state. ms. rice is currently the permanent representative to the united nations for the u.s. she has not yet been officially nominated for the state department job to replace hillary clinton who intends to resign probably. rice is rumored to be underactive and positive consideration. but republicans and some democrats have been angry with ms. rice for saying that the attack in benghazi that left four americans dead was spontaneous and not preplanned. >> what our assessment is as of the present is, in fact, it began spontaneously in benghazi as a reaction to what had transpired some hours earlier in cairo where, of course, as you know, there was a violent protest outside of our embassy, sparked by this hateful video. we do not have information at present that leads to us conclude that this was premeditated or preplanned. >> ms. rice made these comments five days after intelligence reports were reporting otherwise. be that as it may, at his press conference on wednesday of this week, president obama voiced outrage with senators mccain and graham. >> when they go after the u.n. ambassador, apparently because t
