so this occurred months after september 11, 2001 before the united states invaded iraq and with those rogue nations or rogue groups basically start giving those routine decisions one -- vaccines we -- vaccines we have generations of people had been vaccinated. and then we risk. so to make that recommendation i voted against it because that smallpox vaccine if you have been exposed you have to make sure you have gotten that vaccine. so you really need face to face contact it's not like measles. so to stand here and then walk away. so within two hours they could catch the measles. it is never the ace of dramatic infection and also the smallpox vaccine has a different safety profile that is inflammation of the brain but then my feeling at the time is what's just wait. that's be constructive because somewhere on the face of this earth it is illuminated. i am the only one that voted against that on the program. but then to realize i was the only one that voted against it. [laughter] but with dan rather but to be interviewing richard nixon and at thatnixon and at that point said i've had en

troops in the country the united states invaded iraq in two thousand and three and it's maintained a litary presence there ever since well the results of iraq's election in may have been ratified by the supreme court that means the winning parties have three months to form a government a nationwide recount earlier this month confirm the populous cleric to the southerners alliance won the most votes positioning him to play a central role in forming iraq's next government. after three and a half years of war little is functioning in yemen repeated bombings have damaged or destroyed water and sewage facilities and that's making people more vulnerable to diseases as mohamed adel reports. on a dense congested streets pools of will see which is of the way heaps of garbage dump piled up in most neighborhoods in the city's divil habbush area barefoot children trudge through human waste oblivious of the risks we face a slope that says this month. we are living very hard conditions diseases are rife from cholera to diarrhea clean water is a rare commodity here above all electricity is out all t

occurred months after the tragic events of september 11th, 2001 and one year before the united states invaded iraqrried that smallpox would be used by rogue nations or rogue groups as a weapon of bioterror and they knew that we basically had stopped giving the smallpox vaccine routinely to children in this country by 1972. we had generations of people in this country who hadn't been vaccinated and they were worried that we were at risk. i was actually on the advisory committee for the immunization practices at the time that made that recommendation. i voted against it. i voted against it because for these reasons, the smallpox vaccine can be given post exposure, even after you have been exposed to somebody, you have at least two days before you have to make sure that you've gotten that vaccine. the smallpox is spread by large droplets that are generated from blisters in the mouth so you really need face-to-face contact. you need to be within 5 feet of somebody face-to-face with smallpox to get it. it is not like measles. measles is spread by small droplets. if i have measles and stand here and the

we invaded iraq and it was thought it would all be over in two months. in fact, two months later, the president of the united states went on an aircraft carrier and said hey, it's over mission accomplished . herehe is . >>. [cheering]. [applause] >> thank you all very much, admiral kelly, captain carter, officers and the sailors of the us abraham lincoln. my fellow americans. >> make your combat operations in iraq have ended and the battle of iraq, the united states and our allies, have prevailed. >>. >>. >> can i stop this? ready to stop it. thank you.so the war is over. the united states prevails. it didn't quite work out that way. >> war in iraq will be over. as you know it's still not over and now we have a different president . i should add here by the way that the military did everything they were supposed to do. every hill the military was asked to take, they took. there isn't any question about the bravery, the training, the adaptability. and those that believethat the training and adaptability had not been at the level it was, the country would have been an even bigger trouble . so things and i want to lea

that coalition chose to invade iraq because they expected an easy win basically to position the united states to increase our leverage and influence so we could move beyond transformation of iraq, soon to be easy to bring about change elsewhere in the region. whether the results would've been like hopes a bunch of liberal democracies or what cheney would've hoped, basically, i questioned america in either case there would have been benefits to the united states of america. the invasion is conducted using the most recent precepts of conventional warfare, emphasizing the used of precision guided munitions with almost zero thought given to what will happen once we get to baghdad. we got to baghdad, it was great. then everything fell apart. who's at fault? i have to say, i believe the principal responsibility for the failure was a military responsibility. the senior officers planning on operation to not give serious thought to what would happen once the saddam hussein regime was overthrown. that created the opportunity for all that ensued. >> i have to follow-up to that question. i was the first
