case against these three men in cambodia and we brought them back to the united states. and they are on their way to jail. i would like to say that those are rare cases. unfortunately there's a lot of that kind of thing going on and we are one to spend a lot of time focusing on it. it is important work. we need to do it. there's no reason why the united states should sit by while our citizens molests somebody else's children. finally we are going to spend a lot of time on intellectual property that. in the midst of a global recession we have to do more to protect legitimate businesses and workers from international counterfeiting and piracy and we have got to pay particular attention to substandard good and counterfeit pharmaceuticals. that is just a major health and safety issue. i can tell you how many cases for example we have involving counterfeit toothpaste, and the chemicals that are placed within those tubes are not things that you ultimately want to be brushing your teeth with. alright, let's turn to the final area becoming immigration enforcement. my basic appro

case against these three men in cambodia and brought them back to the united states we're prosecuting pol three of them and they will go to jail. i would like to say that those are rare cases but unfortunately there is a lot of that going on and we will spend a lot of time focusing on it. it is important work. there is a reason why the united states should sit by while our citizens molest somebody else's children. finally we will spend time on intellectual property theft. in the midst of a global recession we have to do more to protect legitimate businesses and workers from international counterfeiting and piracy rings berkeley have to pay particular attention to unfit pharmaceuticals and unfit goods. that is a major health and safety issue. cannot tell you how many cases we have an evolving counterfeit toothpaste and chemicals placed with in those tubes are not things you ultimately want to be brushing your teeth with. let's turn to the final area of immigration enforcement. the basic approach is to enforce the law. that is my job and what i intend to do. last year we removed a recor

the vietnamization program and you saw that go down and tell you saw he was escalating the war in cambodia and running a secret war. chose the president saying we will begin withdrawing in 2011 that quiets the anti-war left because they say problem solved. because eventually we will get out of here. but that doesn't mean we will withdraw from in a country any time soon. >> but first, let's be clear congress authorized both of the wars. but they did do it and have not repealed it. that authorization is there. i think president clinton's trip to bosnia which has been announced for one-year went in with significant force there was no violence that year and was successful and at the end of the year the deployment continued with virtually no public opposition. i imagine i think president obama is sincere in what he is saying. the radio that we bring in significant additional force to accomplish a mission as we did in bosnia than the situation is better and you hope you can withdraw. i hope for the reasons i outline which primarily have to do the absence of a local partner i have reservations bu

while i was in cambodia i had the opportunity to visit the killing fields in cambodia. while visiting the killing fields they showed us a tree where the followers of pol pot would hang and would slain innocent children on the -- slam inknow september children on the tree. the pol pot regime killed approximately 1.6 million people between 1976, if i remember correctly, and 1980. and the world screamed in outrage at the death of 1.6 million people. the holocaust killed six million and we continue to scream in outrage at the six million jews that were killed during world war ii by the nazi regime during the holocaust, in the holocaust. from 1973 to the present, in the united states alone, we have murdered over 40 million children. just imagine that. if we scream in outrage at the inknow september children that were slammed and hung on the tree in the killing fields, yet after 40 million children killed in this country we still hold a policy that allows for the legal killing of innocent children. if that is not a skewed sense of ethics, i don't know what is. i agree that am

one of the countries i visited was cambodia.ited the killing fields of cambodia. they showed the delegation what they call the killing trees. the reason they call it that is because they used to hang babies from the trees and they used to slam babies against the trees. i tell you that story, because some of the acts that we use in abortion are just as brutal. i want people to understand that abortion is more of an issue of our time, and we have to speak loudly and order for us to understand -- and for our leaders to understand that we are pro-life. i was so honored last night to preach to about 500 students in louisiana. seeing so many young faces gives me some much hope and energy. i know that this fight will be long and hard. and we will need all the young people to speak out loudly to our leaders. thank you very much, and carry on with the fight. >> i.m. -- i am todd from kansas. greetings, america. greetings from my wife who is in topeka, kan. at the march for life. she wants you to tell that even though she is in topeka, ka

i can think of few countries being hit like this, maybe cambodia. this is extraordinary, and the society was really damaged. i mentioned agriculture at the beginning. afghanistan was a big agricultural exporting country with india as a prime, as a prime market. a month ago the afghans with great fanfare shipped by airplane 12 tons of apples -- they're famous for their apples -- to india. as a way of resurrecting their once-vibrant export markets, and that's why we're putting so much attention on agriculture. so in answer to your question, my friend, we really are listening to the afghans. not just on agriculture although that is our primary nonsecurity issue, but on everything. one of the things we found when we took office a year ago was that only 10% of american aid to afghanistan, pakistan went through the governments. 10%. so we were undermining the very governments that it was our profezzed goal to strengthen. -- professed goal to strengthen. and most of the rest of the aid went through these contractors. those of you who saw what hillary clint

but yes, you have cross border sentries in cambodia and laos, and we have them here in pakistan and perhapsven north in use pakistan and tajikistan. host: next call from florida, good morning. caller: kennedy inherited from eisenhower and nixon and now obama has inherited from bush and cheney. what is the parallel doubt -- there? guest: there is a parallel. first, john kennedy refused to put in combat troops even the eisenhower told him to do so during the transition time. that became the defining aspect of kennedy posey vietnam policy, not to do that, to train the south vietnamese to fight. obama already inherits a war that is -- inherits a war that is already in combat mode. it compares to nixon in -- who inherited the war from johnson. going into 1969, we're coming out of vietnam. nixon took four years to do it, another 20,000 soldiers, american soldiers died during the withdrawal. the lesson there is, look, when it is time to come home, do not take for you -- do not take for five years to do it and lose 20,000 soldiers. host: tony on the republican line, go ahead. caller: i am not just

i worked for the census in cambodia 17 years ago. it took me six years to heal from dodging bullets, but land mines, kedging malaria, and all of that. -- catching malaria. iran an article about the lack of attention. most un special representatives from what i could find online and the reports from the security council did not report about how the board to include women in the process. i wonder if you could talk about how they are setting a good example for the afghani people. also how you and your colleagues are working to support the invitation of resolutions 1325. >> anyone care to tackle this? grant? >> to the question about the impact of the media. i was in pakistan in 2007 and 2008 for the elections. earlier, i mentioned i was in afghanistan for the 2004-2005 elections. one thing i found interesting was the development of the media, the domestic media and the afghanistan between those two election cycles. my sense in talking to colleagues was that it was a very vibrant coverage. certainly, the proliferation of television and ra
