. >> host: here's cleveland good morning to cindy on the republican line. >> caller: good morning. thank for having me. i was curious if you were able to determine whether rumsfeld's political philosophy and big picture outlook was influenced in any way by having been surrounded by so many people, just to name a few like mr. wolfowitz, elliott abrams, people who were strongly influenced by wohlstetter, by philosophers and military strategists that would be considered like conservative blacks did he or was he influenced by that group or did he agreed in large part they were correct? thank. >> guest: that's a very interesting question and rumsfeld smylie sean ship with the neocons i think is a very important part of his time as secretary because he and up surrounded by a number of prominent members of the neoconservative community and they included his deputy, paul wolfowitz, the chief of the top civilian policy official at the pentagon, doug feith but rumsfeld himself is not a new conservative. many of his views may overlap. they do depart one critical area which is the notion of sp

host: woodbridge, virginia, cindy, on our democrats line. caller: i have some siblings in london. one of my siblings just called me this morning. they determined that she has glaucoma. they are doing a test to determine which type she has so they can give her a higher drug or whenever they have to do. she has to come back in three months. also, last november, my cousin was taken to the hospital. they did a check on him, he went home, and they did not determine that he had a hemorrhage from a fall. two months later, he died. no matter what company you work with, if we can get some sort of uniform health care -- host: san diego, california. mark, independent life. caller: i would be very shocked if they build a not pass this year, to the problem in 1993 was that out of the gate, in the military, it killed this whole agenda. from the next year, the republicans ran the whole country. when the midterm elections took place. as far as the plan that i can see right now, it appears to lack a criminal prosecution element to it as far as dentists or doctors inflicting intentional harm on pat

good morning to cindy on the republican line. >> caller: i was curious if you would be able to determine whether rumsfeld political philosophy and big picture outlook what influenced him in any way by having been surrounded by so many people just to name a few like mr. perle wolfowitz, elliott abrams, people influence by philosophers and military strategists that would be considered by conservatives did he agree in large part that they were correct? thank you. >> that is a very interesting question, and rumsfeld to relationship with the neocons i think is a very important part of his time as the secretary because he ended up surrounded by a number of prominent members of the neoconservatives committee. they included his deputy, paul wolfowitz, the chief of the top civilian policy official at the pentagon. douglas feith. but rumsfeld himself isn't a new conservative. many of his views might overlap. they do depart at one critical area which is the notion of spreading democracy around the world. rumsfeld is always very uncomfortable with that notion particular as a rationale for going to w

they do that lots of other mental issues and the% getting worse is one of the high cindy mental health issues because of lack of treatment. we have about 14 percent of the people in the survey to a knowledge they had a serious depressive issue and this is i think the connective tissue of a majority of the country saying that they either or someone in their family for a very close friend has had an alcohol and drug or significant oppressive issue so it touches their lives. i have one suggestion in terms of have to translate those percentages. i do seat belt safety, i started in 1996 to make sure kids whenever in the front seat seat belt and i broke all over the country for monetary seat belt laws with enormous effect a substantial of the fact, but three asked parents like how you secure your kids and 60 percent said they did not secure the adderall. people in this survey know what the socialize response is going to be so 6% say i don't restrain my town at all in the car it is at least 6% and so you say that is so small so what we have them to is we have a million children in our country

this is michelle obama and cindy mccain, and as i write in the book in late october as in the campaign was nearing the finish line, "the new york times" ran profiles of the candidates' wives. one had all the pathos of a great tragedy and the other was a sunday as "happy days". i guess which was which? in the profile of it misses mccain here is what we discovered -- we discover that way back in 1982 when she first came to washington some congressional wives did not like her coming we learn that's a mccain didn't like washington, we learn that she worried about my opinion, we learn that from time to time for parents bought her guests on behalf of john mccain because he was too busy or too uncaring to buy them himself, we were reminded of her long ago in addition to painkillers, we were told that she doesn't always tell the truth, and as a buyer and york put it in the national review, in what sense are these revelations if true newsworthy? and when are you -- and when you are doing a story about the wife of a candidate to those big scoops justify the intrusiveness required to discover the

tray howard, cindy howard, derrick scott and katie bloomberg all deserve a special thanks. i want to also thank joe higin for a long effort with us as well as alicia haley. without their hard work and coordination and patience we would not be successful as we are today. a final thanks to the team and the office of the legislative counsel led by sherry cryst and the parliamentarians who provide such excellent support. we thank them and are very grateful for their hard work. the chair: does the gentleman yield back the balance of his time or reserve? mr. skelton: i reserve. the chair: the gentleman from missouri yields back. the gentleman from california. mr. mckeon: mr. speaker, this will probably the last time that i have enough time to thank the staff but i'd like to thank all of the members of the staff. i said, you know, when i was on the education committee we used to have everybody's names written out. i turned to tom and said, we don't do that, sir. we give all the credit to the members. so rather than list all of our names on both sides, i'd like to thank you en bloc

i went down to an encampment early on that cindi sheehan set up in texas and there was a peace encampment run by soldiers, and we ended up kind of -- when they said lunch is as noon they didn't mean 12:30 or 1:00. all the anarchists were starving because they didn't get there on time. it was amusing and also true that the people who understand war are the people who went there and found the here of horror of it. michael says those who make wars never fight them. those who fight wars never like them, and i think that's largely true. so i never felt that i was against the troops but i'm against the war. mill maher made a joke that being pro war was supporting the troops and he said something to the effect, i have never heard anybody say i love the bush administration, it's those dam troops i hate. i mean, it's not true. those of us who are against war are against the policy that puts you, for example, in harm's way, gets you injured and defines your life for the next 40 years. we should not be at war all over the world. we should not have 150 military bases all over the world. we should not

i went down to the encampment early on that cindy sheehan started up in crawford, texas, and there was a peace encampment run by soldiers. it was the first peace encampment i'd ever been at run by soldiers so when they said lunch was at noon, they didn't mean 12:30 or 1:00, all the anarchists were strarving because they didn't get there on time. it was amusing, but it was also true that the people who understand war are the people who went there and found the horror of it. you know, michael in a song says those who make wars never fight them, those who fight wars never like them, and i think that's largely true. so i never felt that i was against the troops, but i'm against the war. bill maher made a joke the other day saying being pro-war was supporting the troops and he said, yeah, i've never heard anybody say i love the bush administration, it's those damn troops i hate. it's just not true. those of us who are against war are against the policy that puts you, for example, in harm's way, gets you injured and defines your life for the next 40 years. no, we should not be at warral over

i don't think anybody who looked at the cindy till would say that the evidence that all these people who should give to the inquiry should be given in public. i think there would respect the fact there's a degree of confidentiality that is necessary and also understand a reflection that people are going to be frank with the great about the lessons to be learned then they will want to be able to give their evidence in private look at the alternative. the alternative would mean we would have a long inquiry where the body would be represented by a lawyer rather than by themselves and i think that is not the way we are going to learn the best lessons from this conflict. >> thank you mr. speaker. the events of the iranians elections will demonstrate just how unstable this region is likely to become. will the prime minister assure the house that the planted resources exist from the british military reengagement, should the iraqi government ask for it? and it is not going to be left up just to the americans? >> you will know that we have signed ag the agreement with the iraqi government abo
