we want to get a positive result in all aspects of the bali action plan.we support the entire set of issues. we want to progress all the building blocks. we cannot accept a selective approach. mr. chairman, as we indicated to you at the opening of this -- as we indicated at the opening of the session the global 77 and china opens up the delivery process. we establish and maintain over the past two years. we believe that this approach allows the civilization of all issues under the valley planned and enables all parties to participate and bring in their interests and concerns regarding the dead agreed outcome of copenhagen. it is no doubt that if such approach is on the way to the death toand agreed outcome. we understand there is is a great amount of pressure to reach an agreement in copenhagen. i would like to assure you that all the parties that our group and all the parties that our group is highly committed to make this happen. however, we do have serious consents regarding the disorganization of decision and how the results of the ongoing will and the

the last eight years is almost breathtaking when you think about from algiers to washington, from bali to madrid, is organization has struck again and again and again around the world. it has developed franchises, circuits, has acquired allies to increase its reach. it has become more than a terrorist organization and become an idea. it has created a narrative which inspires a small minority of muslims to carry out acts of mass violence. most of its attacks are indiscriminate, but it is also demonstrated to strike with great discrimination against targets like the un headquarters in baghdad and one month ago against the deputy minister of the interior in saudi arabia. we see its reach in the united states today both direct and indirect. the afghan american arrested by the fbi in the colorado demonstrated the direct connection. what happened in fort hood it demonstrated the indirect connection of the narrative and ideology of the global islamic jihad. today the only sustained, significant pressure on the core of qaeda comes from between 30,000-60,000 feet in the air from the grounds of

that would be agreed upon and real in bali and cairo kyoto.d staying there if we didn't shift on that so as suggested at ten percent reduction below business as usual in the developing countries is part of a global deal work. what china is doing adds up to about 25% on the 40% improvement in emissions intensity and 30 percent on the ba basis of the percent i emissions tendency so kind of announces it will do more than my an arithmetic assumed. the u.s. is doing less as barbara mentioned. 17 percent from 2005 is a very small reduction from 1990. other developed countries have committed much more. japan, europe, australia and new zealand. korea. about - but nevertheless, that announcement is a huge shift intra jek try for the united states and bedding that down and getting legislation through the senate network, i think is a first step and then, as confidence grows that you can do that without knocking the staffing out of the united states economy, then greater ambitions can come into focus. i wouldn't give up on a good plan apartly because ther

here that you see attacks launched not just against the united states, but against london, against balihost of countries. >> kroft: and half of this territory is in afghanistan... >> obama: half... half of this territory is in afghanistan, half of it is in pakistan. ultimately, in order for us to eradicate the problem, to really go after al qaeda in an effective way, we are going to need more cooperation from pakistan. there is no doubt about that. >> kroft: you're a student of history. the british lost the revolutionary war and the americans lost the vietnam war in spite of the fact that they won almost all the major battles. they lost it because it got to be too expensive, it was too far away, and not enough people cared about it. aren't you facing some of those same problems right now? >> obama: i think what is true is that, if we have an open- ended commitment in a place like afghanistan with no clear benchmarks for what success means, that the american people, who have just gone through the worst financial crisis since the great depression, who've already endured eight years of war

since 9/11, al qaeda as safe haven have been the source of attacks against london and iman and bali. the people of the government's of both afghanistan and pakistan are in danger. and the stakes are even higher with a nuclear arms pakistan because when al qaeda and other extremists seek nuclear weapons and we have every reason to believe that they would use them. these facts compel us to act along with our friends and allies. our overarching goal remains the same, to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat outcry in afghanistan and pakistan and to prevent its capacity -- al qaeda in afghanistan and pakistan and to prevent its capacity in the future. to meet that goal, we will pursue the following objectives within afghanistan. we must deny al qaeda a safe haven. we must reverse the taliban's momentum and denied the ability -- to deny them the ability to overthrow the of government. and we must strengthen the afghan security forces and government so that they can take the lead and responsibility for afghanistan's future. we will meet these objectives in three ways. first, we will pursue a mili

the world relies on you to successfully conclude the country-driven process to launch in bali.ing that success in an exclusive and transparent manner. as i speak to you this morning, 110 heads of state and government have announced they will be coming to copenhagen next week. in conclusion of this conference. their presence reflects an unprecedented mobilization of political determination to combat climate change. it represents a huge opportunity, an opportunity to the world cannot afford to miss. your leaders do not come to copenhagen just to talk. this you need to act birkhead -- -- the come to act. they will not agree to just anything but to agree to an effective deal based on our fundamental principles, our common resolve, and on the political, social and economic reality in our countries throughout the world. the agreement world leaders should adopt next friday here in copenhagen it must be founded on the legal principles inscribed in the framework convention and it must respond to all aspects of the mandates agreed upon in bali two years ago. it must seek to capture progr

chairman , two years ago in bali, all parties agreed to adopt the results of the -- as this situationof the conference. of all parties as a meeting to have parties to the kyoto protocol. and there are set up negotiation process. in this regard, the group has been working -- mandate of the -- which is specifically -- the second review. aligned with the second -- must inscribe ambitious quantified admission. reduction targets for developed countries beyond 2012 and will prove more efficient and effective set of rules in order to able developed countries, parties, to take the lead as significantly contribute to the minimizeation of impact of climate change. however, we have seen that developed country party to the kyoto protocol seek to dismantle the protocol itself in favor of a single undertaking aligned comprehensive but which is a reality much weaker and will effectively undermine the convention and the kyoto protocol 3678 to this end, we have been, we have seen continual delays in our work sbemp find by the g.k.g. has not met a single deadline to reach the conclusions or individual

today represents the combination of two years of work which was started in bali in 2007. we set out on a historic task, and our job today is to complete that task. our job here today is to ensure that the two tracks which we embark upon in bali, on the kyoto protocol, are each brought to their separate but complementary conclusions. ladies and gentleman, if we are to fill this historic responsibility, we have to take ambitious and robust decisions which can set the world on a path that will prevent a dangerous impact of climate change. such a path must include deep and immediate reductions in greenhouse gas emissions in line with the requirements of the science. that is reduction in excess of 45 degrees, compared to 1990 levels by 2020, with global emissions peaking no later than 2015. this will insure that we proceed along a path that will restrict long-term temperature increases to well below 1.5 degrees celsius. over 100 countries have committed to this. to achieve such levels, our countries, developed and developing, will have to take strong measures to achieve these

chairman, we still keep te hope that we could reach a balanced outcome of all the elements of the baliaction plan. and we continue to engage constructively in the negotiations in order to reach an agreeable outcome for this session. developing countries have the most to lose. there are no concrete results of our discussions -- if there are no concrete results. particularly in the kyoto protocol, if the kyoto protocol is undermined or dismantled. we therefore, are the most concerned that we do all arrive at the successful outcome of cop 15. mr. chairman, the group of 77 and china considers our shared vision a science-based in founded on the principal provisions of the convention, in particular, the principles of equality and comment by differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities -- comment but differentiated responsibilities and respective capabilities. it must reflect the historical -- of developed countries, for cumin-induced climate change. -- for human-induced climate change.

terrorist attacks in london and bali were tied to al qaeda and its allies, as well as attacks in the middle east, islamabad and kabul. if there's an attack in the middle east, it's likely to have ties to al qaeda and pakistan. the safety of the people around the world is at stake. for the afghan people, it would condemn their country to brutal governments, a paralyzed economy and the denial of basic human rights to the afghan people, especially women and girl. the force would cast afghanistan under the shadow of perpetual violence. as president, my greatest responsibility is to protect the american people. we are not in afghanistan to control that country, or to dictate its future. we are in afghanistan to confront a common enemy that threatens the united states, our friends, and our allies, and the people of afghanistan and pakistan who have suffered the most at the hands of violent extremists. so i want the american people to understand that we have a clear and focused goal, disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al qaeda in pakistan and afghanistan, and to prevent their return to either c
