that's the colin powell rule, you break it, you bought it.troops from gaza back in 2005. what happens if they go back in in your view? >> i think colin powell's rule, someone who is a life mentor to me, still exists. in the sense that if israel goes in, breaks it, and owns all of gaza, 2 million people, joy, they are going to own it. so, as a result, i think what you're going to see the israelis do is go in, do as much as they can to break the control of hamas, the awful terrorists who have been beheading babies, raping women, islamic-state level offenses. they'll do everything they can to break that, but then they'll want to turn over governance in this region. again, 2 million people, not insignificant. perhaps to the palestinian authority, perhaps to some kind of pan-arab peace keeping force. perhaps to a united nations peace keeping force, becomes very unclear very quickly. i'll close with this, joy, it's a lot easier to get into a war than to get out of it. >> and david harden, a former senior adviser to president obama and special envoy

>> colin powell said in 2003, remember the pottery barn, if you break it you own it. the israelis have two questions, who will run gaza after they destroy hamas and, two, what will nthey do ab getting hostags out. i think they have answers and very very good answers. they are not saying this is a very small group of people at the top in israel making these decisions without communicating what they are. the answers, i think, are they're going to run it, which is not a good outcome, and they're really not going to be able to get the hostages, which is a terrible outcome. >> wow. i was just going to ask to what extent the hostages pose an impediment to israel doing what israel wants to do vis-a-vis gaza. >> normally, the israelis are very sensitive, perhaps too sensitive. that i traded a thousand hamas prisoners for one israeli soldier a few months ago and some were involved in the attack a week ago. i think they've gotten to the point they think they have to eliminate hamas and if the hostages cannot be rescued in the process they're ready to accept that as part of the

i think about colin powell before. there was colin powell, right? he was the most esteemed, the most decorated black military figure in, the country he was one of the boys is closest black friends. they went way back all the way back to wilberforce. and charles young was someone who loved his country right, who believed that it was possible to be both loyal to your country, to serve your country, also be loyal to your race, to serve your race. so he was looking at individuals like charles young as kind of emblem of the possibilities of what the war could do for black people. and there's a lot of tragedy surrounding charles young as well as as i talk about in the book, which ultimately adds dubois's disillusionment after the war and belief certainly by the mid 1920s and into the 1930s that the war indeed was a complete tragedy and a failure, champ explained both and very few people here are since world war one, right when i was 19, at the end of my sophomore year at yale, i took a gap on a program funded by the carnegie corporations called five year

the president of israel, in the style of colin powell, 20 years ago, in 2003 at the un, showing powderoving that iraq has weapons of mass destruction, demonstrated instructions for the manufacture of chemical weapons. this material was found on the body of one of the sadistic villains, this is alkaida material, their official material. we have dealing with isis, al-qaeda and hamas, it talks about the different components that go into making chemical weapons. whether this is true or not, it is still difficult to say that any information about what is happening now in the middle east must be treated with respect... and behind her, meanwhile , people were calmly passing and riding bicycles, clearly puzzled by her behavior. at the same time , israel immediately stops all attempts to speak out in support of palestine. the ministry of education has announced that it will remove any references to israeli curricula. the previously publicized and widely supported swedish activist greta thumberg. because of the publication on the internet, here it is. photographs with signature. today we strike

look, this is -- this is a situation that i'm reminded of colin powell's warning in iraq.nk he called it the pottery barn rule, that if you break it, you're going to own it. >> if you break it, you bought it. >> you got it. i don't think there's any question that if there is an invasion of gaza, that it's going to be tough, it's going to be, you know, building to building, door to door. a lot of casualties. and i guess my hope is that israel is thinking about exactly what are their goals here, what do they want to achieve? i know netanyahu has talked about totally destroying hamas. but what are those goals they want to achieve? and what is an end point ultimately look like? because if the end result is occupancy of gaza, that's not going to be a pretty picture, either. >> one of the reasons that this operation, this terror attack may have taken place at the time it did was concern by hamas about saudi arabia making a deal in this region with israel, a normalization of relations. is that something that you think should move forward? hard to see how that might happen right n

shelling, there is also an information war in full swing, the president of israel in the style of colin powellhas weapons of mass destruction, demonstrated instructions for the manufacture of chemical weapons. this material was found on the body of one of the sadistic villains, this is alkaida material. their official material, we are dealing with isis, al-qaido and hamas, it talks about the various components from which chemical weapons are made, whether this is true or not, it is still difficult to say that any information about what is happening now in the middle east must be treated with caution, a live broadcast showed a journalist from romania, lying on the asphalt, she depicted how hamas missiles were supposedly flying over her head in israel, and behind her meanwhile, people calmly, clearly without fear of anything, walked and rode past on bicycles. at the same time, israel reacts instantly to all attempts to speak out in support of palestine. the ministry of education announced that it will remove from educational israeli programs, any mention of the previously advertised and widely s

and then the tough thing is that old pottery barn rule that colin powell talked about and that is once break it, you own it. so then israel must work to, what is the next garment look like? what does post hamas gaza strip look like? and that is what israel must think through. >> john: i'm going to let you go in just a second. but the second u.s. key regroup is headed to a major train. part of the goal is to send a message to others including hezbollah and iran not to get involved. but what -- why a second group? what message does a second group sent that the first did not already sent? >> john, in many ways, it is more than just a message. it gives the u.s. options. options for everything from evacuation of american citizens to making sure that syria, others, iran, are placed in check that they are -- that they know that they are in the u.s. presence, a long -- large u.s. presence, and also to has blocked even though israel has not asked for any help against has been a while. so it gives the u.s. options depending on the situation. >> john: major general pittard wthank you. there are c

colin powell's test tube, judging by the world reaction, if anything, such a number will not work a second war and poured out threats against israel. we will declare israel a war criminal. we are already working on this. israel, you are an occupier, you are a group, not a state. the west owes you something, but we owe you nothing. in response, israel urgently recalls diplomats from turkey. a rupture in diplomatic relations between countries is not excluded. but what about jordan, where the queen, an ethnic palestinian herself, spoke with similar words earlier. shocked and disappointed by the world reaction, for the last 2 weeks the world has been silent, country leaders only express concern and note the large number of victims, but always with the reservation of supporting israel. we were told that it was bad when entire families were shot, but was it really normal to bomb them? pro-palestinian rallies took place all over the world, in new york they chanted from the river to the sea , palestine will be free. radical slogan - erasing with maps of the holy land of the state of israel. long l

us secretary, colin powell, went to the un, shaking a test tube, gave the impression that in this testew colin pavelov very little, was in the same room with him several times, never spoke, but all i knew about knew him, showed me that this man was serious and worthy, i did not assume that he was always right. was far from always right, but i proceeded from the fact that he would not consciously agree to such a lie, uh, such a fake, after it became clear that it was a fake, colin paol gave a lot of explanations, very sorry, very apologetic, unlike president bush, jr. and vice president chenia, and uh, there were paola's memoirs, where he talked: about what happened, and the memoirs of the then cia director george tennet, and the memoirs of several other people who held serious positions in the administration of buikh the younger, this is what turned out. george tenet, director of the center, he was appointed by clinton. he really wanted to remain in his post, and he understood that he did not come, by the way, from the ranks of experts, but he was a personnel officer. for politicians i

colin powell, who had been secretary of state in the george w bush administration, former massachusetts governor william weld and some others. he got 43% of the white vote in 2008. that's more than any democrat had received bill clinton. so you can see, the strategy was effective at lauer at some level, but it still only 43%. the thing carried him to victory in 2008 was his appeal to the american dream. he had made the argument that was a little change in priority. all those different people who hurting could be helped in that campaign. after the republican convention, there was a brief period in which mccain and palin took the lead. obama would go on to win a decisive but only the economic, the depths of. the economic collapse became clear. and at that point, obama must message that we strong arguments for government acting and in in taking those actions we continue the american dream all. that message was what carried him to victory. he also had a very strong debate perform. and as is evident, if you've ever studied obama for even a few minutes, he is very, very good words and argumen

by the way, shortly before his death, colin powell admitted that all this was a lie, but you can’t erase from the song, the prosperous country was condemned, the suffering of civilians in the new middle east conflict became another topic of negotiations in the kremlin. i also know your position, dear mr. prime minister, our position is that there must be damage to the civilian population, we call on all conflicting parties to do this. the prime minister clarified his position on middle east settlement, pointing out the causes of the crisis from his iraqi point of view. it is a natural result that israel has continued to commit violations against palestinian rights and the international community has remained silent and failed to live up to its obligations under internationally recognized resolutions. we are now witnessing another intifada of palestinian uprising demanding an end to these violations of their rights. next year, russia and iraq will celebrate the eightieth anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations and this visit to the sudan was initially dedicated to economi

our nation would not have had leaders like army colin powell, who became the first black chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and the first black u.s. secretary of state. we would not have had lloyd austin, a retired u.s. army four star general, as our secretary of defense, the first black american to serve in that role. we would not have michelle howard, a retired navy admiral who became the first black woman to reach three and four stars in the armed forces and the first black woman to command a navy ship. and we would not have general cq brown junior serving as the chief of the air force and recently nominated as the next chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. i've often said that my grandfather's greatest accomplished point was showing the country and the world that an ordinary middle class american from the midwest, a farmer, a small businessman and a citizen soldier can rise to the highest office in this land and do a better job of it than almost anybody else. that is the promise of this, and it must be extend did to all americans. the objectives he pursued, through his civil

then he was sent as ambassador to jordan, from there he returned as assistant secretary of state colin powelleastern affairs, and in 2005 he was sent as ambassador to moscow. returning to the states, burns took the post of deputy state. on political affairs under condaleese rice and retained it under hillary clinton. burns also took part in the obama administration's decisions concerning mainly relations with russia, and as director of the cia, he again visited moscow. when the plan to prepare ukraine for to nato membership, burns warned in an analytical note that for russia , ukraine's entry into the north atlantic alliance would mean crossing the reddest of all red lines. but that’s where i finished with the peace pipe. now, according to sources at cnn , he is secretly visiting kiev. in general, it is now believed that byrne will be able to get a new appointment and become secretary of state instead of blinken, whether this is a promotion or vice versa, how to say, but personnel changes may very well soon shake the united states, big problems with the budget, in washington. they started tal

group to just of build a to tell a story about but you're talking about the kind of you know, a colin powell type, somebody who's, you know, very high achieving and, you know, very much advancing in culture and society can navigate various different differences in socio economic spaces with deafness, but yet is experiencing what looks to be significant friction relationally and maybe even institutionally an evangelical churches. now they're their story was a mixture of mixture casual and casualty reasons. there's certainly relational friction institutional but there's also seems to a fair amount of apathy that's been that was there as well so you know when when you do stuff like this, you know, i've got a whole i got a whole other document of like 28, 20 different areas if i ever do additional research where want more granularity, i want to know more about this group of people because i'm really curious. so he started and either one of you he started out talking about the history of metro atlanta orlando area and while your book is you said it started about metro orlando but then it turned i

minds of the international community, this bunch would be, wouldn’t this be another test tube of colin powellreactions, if anything, such a number will not work a second time, a huge rally in istanbul gathered after the call of the turkish president to take to the streets, erdogan himself was fiery. accused the west of instigating the war and made threats against israel. we will declare israel at war criminals, we are already working on this. israel, you are an occupier, you are a group, not a state. the west owes you something, but we owe you nothing. in response, israel urgently recalls diplomats from turkey. a rupture in diplomatic relations between countries is not excluded. but what about jordan, where the queen , an ethnic palestinian herself, spoke with similar words earlier. on the world reaction , the world has been silent for the last 2 weeks, country leaders only express concern and note the large number of victims, but always with the reservation of supporting israel, we were told that it is bad when entire families are shot, but is it really normal to bomb them, pro-palestinian r

then-chairman of the joint chiefs of staff colin powell later reflected that within weeks we were so successful that we had upset the economics of the marketplace, so much free food came pouring into somalia that it became tough to make a living by farming. when bill clinton took office in january 1993, he inherited a successful narrow mission that was drawing down. unfortunately he snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. he flipped president bush's approach of overwhelming force with limited and defined objectives on its head. by march, president clinton turned over primary responsibility to the u.n., reduced the american presence to barely more than 4,000 troops, and expanded the mission to encompass the grandiose objective of nation building. our u.n. ambassador madeleine albright proclaimed that we will embark on an unprecedented mission aimed at nothing less than the restoration of an entire country. gates later called the plan a pipe dream and hopelessly unrealistic. powell scoffed that since the catastrophe had been provoked by feuding 14th century-style warlords, the soluti

some suggested bringing in and out later like newt gingrich or colin powell. but does the speaker have to be a member of the house? stating simply that the house of representatives shall choose their speaker and officers. the speaker has always been not required to be a house member. most historians and legal experts simply assume that the speaker would be drawn. if you are the -- if you're interested in learning or, doug, the republican line. caller: i think c-span. everybody should be required. we are stupid to pay these people. if they were working for a regular company, they would be fired for the way that the act. but he and two people, one for the house and one for the senate. if they cannot fix it, bring somebody else in. host: doug in virginia speaking about the court case. going before cameras come here is a statement. >> my message is simple. no matter how powerful you are, no matter how much money you think you have, no one is above the law. it is my duty to enforce it. the law is both powerful and fragile. today in court, we will prove our case. ju
