egypt does not agree to this. however suppose what's most likely to happen is that this quartet with the cooperation of the international community and the great powers of the world they will solve the problem. >> rose: but most people believe that the other members of the quartet-- the turks and the saudis-- are supporting the free syrian army and the iranians are supporting the assad government. they're already sending weapons in. trate trait this is the reason why i chose these countries, because we cannot solve the problems away from those who intervene and the problem. those who intervene and who-- the stakeholders who are the ones who are willing to sit down together to solve the problem. >> rose: how would the process go? what would be the first step and second step to have an effective quartet achieve the results you would like to see? >> if we agree on the main principle which is to empower the people of syria become free to choose their leadership and have a democracy, if we agree on the principle, the w

egypt shook. while tutankhamun's predecessor was creating a terrifying political and religious situation on the one hand, on the other he was able to infuse egyptian art with a revolutionary human warmth. akhenaten's ideas were strong enough to echo down through the next few kings. tutankhamun's reign, shortly thereafter, was to bear witness to this great flowering of artistic achievement. while there were many tombs larger than his, filled with vast arrays of objects, it has been argued that no tomb--other than akhenaten's-- would have contained objects of a higher creative quality than tutankhamun's. howard carter had this to say about the art found in tutankhamun's tomb: howard carter: "among the immense quantities of material "in tutankhamun's tomb-- as also exhibited "in the beautiful reliefs of his reign "in the great colonnade of the temple of luxor-- "we find extreme delicacy of style, "together with character of the utmost refinement.

negotiations with egypt so what egypt is trying to get about four point eight billion dollars is not far removed from what the qatar is and the saudis and the turks frankly have been doing which is offering all these supposedly free money to egypt billions of dollars worth of investments billions of dollars that are actually going to pay the salaries of ordinary egyptians all of this is tying the hands of the egyptian government even surely morsi and his government no matter how well intended he is he's going to find himself in a situation where it's going to become extremely difficult to escape all these strings that are controlling him and controlling his policies and controlling his government don't you think do you think though that this is egypt is the arab world's most populous country doesn't it make sense that post revolution with a new government in place a new president in place. that countries may find it prudent to try and reestablish trade ties and reestablish business opportunities and bring not only products but also jobs to this country that's correct but but we also

both allow egypt to move more more forces in and which would commit egypt to the peace in a new way i'm under the new government so i wouldn't say that there is a consensus here there is a debate in israel about what to do course the issue on the big quandary is that on one out israel wants to prevent the rise of extremism near its border on the other it doesn't want egypt to drag its weapons into the area so what is this and. well as i've said one idea that i've heard floated from a former senior defense official is to open up this peace treaty again to how it's restart negotiations with cairo to allow them to move more forces in but at the same time to get them to resign to re approve all of the old peace treaty and this would be a very symbolic gesture by the government in cairo which is now led by the muslim brotherhood that it accepts all of the old provisions of the peace treaty and that it is not using this situation to try and a varied its commitment to the peace treaty so there are ways if we think outside the box that perhaps a solution can be found i would also add that we've

i think president obama, when he said egypt -- he said it in an offhand way, egypt is not an ally, makesharder to give them a billion in aid. >> it's a nonmajor ali of the states. if romney would have said that, would there be a lot more criticism in screwing up an answer? >> yes, i think so. it is what it is. hillary clinton, coming to save the gay, where vickphoria newland came out and said, no, mr. president, egypt is our ally and had to correct the president. we have a white house that's very new, doesn't have a strategy and we're seeing the effects in the middle east right now. >> thank you, guys, for joining us. >> thank you. >>> coming up, the very latest on another day of violence in the middle east. now fresh protests under way in cairo. we'lhave all of the details. stay with us.

since israeli egypt in 1967 we have given equip $70 billion -- egypt $70 billion.t is an ally where will we have a treaty or not. >> bret: the question is how egypt reacted to the incident. today, the president morsi finally came out with a statement, but took a long time. and it happened after the president had a phone call with president obama with morsi late last night. >> that is different from what you have seen in yemeni, wher government where they made a statement. with egypt, as we have had a relationship with them for decades they have been under authoritarian regime. we are seeing this back and forth. in part it's different to deal with a country readjusting to the wake of the arab spring. conditions on the ground are different there than they have been in past. >> bret: charles, i want to go back to secretary clinton statement at the beginning about this video. very long detailed statement today. >> this look as if the administration has no idea what it thinks about what just happened. we had that statement coming out of the embassy in cairo. which was a

is egypt our ally or not?s, our political panel, byron york and casey hunt and michael crowley. byron! is egypt our ally? >> well, they formally are our ally. it was incorrect of the president to say this. there is something called a non-nato ally. so he's wrong and had to walk it back. on the other hand, egypt sometimes doesn't feel like an ally, i am not sure a lot of people heard that and thought, oh, my god. on the other hand, you know, when mitt romney traveled to england and mildly offended an ally, talk about this british preparation for the olympics, it was a huge uproar. i don't have any problem with obama getting flagged for this. >> the situation on the ground in egypt has changed so fast. this was a country that was -- has been a very staunch ally of ours for decades. we have worked with them in great depth on many of the greatest crisis that we have faced. it has changed and instead of an authoritarian regime that we could -- we knew what they were going to do, if they said they were going to do s

aid that still continues to egypt right now. >> egypt is not acting like an ally, and if it does not act like an ally, it should not continue to get over a billion in military aid. >> you know there's going to be pressure to suspend u.s. military and economic assistance to egypt. what do you make of that? >> well, actually i think at the end of the day it's unlikely to be suspended and that those threats and that kind of rhetoric may give some leverage to the white house to get egypt back in the game. and i think president morsi did get the message. the irony is until recently he had behaved pretty well and in this case he blew it dramatically. since then and more recently he's behaving much better. i hope it's an aberration and he's learning on the job. >> i spoke to a columnist for the washington post, he suggested that maybe as conservatives, shall we say, is the government, the muslim brotherhood-led government, there are people out there who would like nothing more than to undermine president morsi and his government and they may have played a significant role in trying to go in

a very different scene here, a very different egypt. before, when the united states, president obama, was supporting the demonstrators here, president mubarak was in power -- and egypt was very much an ally. now, the president doesn't seem to be sure if egypt is an ally anymore. and some demonstrators who the arab spring helped give a voice to are trying to attack the u.s. embassy. >> how is the egyptian leadership going to respond to the president basically calling into question egypt's relationship to the united states? obviously financially, this is a huge issue for the egyptian government and a big test for morsi. >> reporter: the egyptian government has finally responded. i say "finally" because it was perceived to be somewhat late. the egyptian government gave somewhat of a half-hearted denouncement of what has been going on in cairo and what has been going on in libya. not as strong as the statements coming out of the libyan government. president morsi here from the muslim brother hood said that he supports the demonstration. act

that didn't happen in egypt.hours after the protests began, some of the key officials seemed to be talking about the film. not about their own responsibility to protect the u.s. embassy. and i think perhaps president obama's phone call has made a difference. the president of egypt now seems to have moved his focus from the film to egypt's responsibility. and, obviously, in the case of libya, i think they've done every single thing we could reasonably expect from this fledgling government, from the words that were spoken, from the moment this happened to the steps they are now taking to arrest people, to try and track down -- you know, this was a very popular ambassador. i think the libyan government there in benghazi feels as bad as they can for their friends. >> and are ashamed. >> ashamed, yes. >> i want to bring in richard williamson, secretary of state under ronald reagan. he is currently the romney campaign senior foreign policy adviser. mr. ambassador, good morning to you. >> good morning. >> let's just beg

embassy in cairo, egypt.n bolton, this is an administration that chose to ignore what had happened in egypt, perhaps understandably in the minds of some, while addressing the murder of our ambassador. on two occasions, the administration put forward an official statement. they ignored what had occurred in egypt. what is the reason for their? >> there isn't any reason. this is a complete breakdown of american policy. the embassy apparently not cleared by washington and not very much distinguishable from statements made in washington today. apologizing for this. nobody has seen this film that we are all talking about. lou: i've seen about 10 minutes of it. >> it was a pretext at best. it didn't happen on september 11 by coincidence. let's get to the real issue here. the government of egypt could've stopped those people from penetrating the embassy if they have had security guards and military around the fermenter. we knew enough this demonstration was coming in the government of egypt must have known that they

both allow egypt to move more and more forces in and which would commit egypt to the peace in the new way i'm under the new government so i wouldn't say that there is a consensus here there is a debate in israel about what to do. now in there with me but earlier and while israel looks to stamp the threat to its south the situation is little short of desperate to the north but later we report on how lebanon's of merging is a new front line now as the chaos of syria seeps across the borders and sweeps the region. british households are feeling the squeeze from government cuts that are giving their income a pounding but a fair chunk of the tax money is still being spent on foreign projects and it's not all about good charity as artie's polyploid carrick's planes not from london. i'm standing in front of the london headquarters of adam smith international according to their website they provide consultancy on economic and government reform well the website doesn't say is that one of the number of firms to have profited heavily from the british government's foreign aid budget last year alo

egypt's president gave a statement egypt rejecting these unlawful acts.ypt will not allow ta tax on embassies. the military of the u.s. is not always charged they protect embassies but don't always benghazi. the one in tripoli would have been protected by u.s. marines. >>> that's our understanding, yes. the u.s. marines state specifically they were not involved at the incident in the u.s. consulate in benghazi on tuesday. they can be. marines have been deployed at the consulate and embassy. the security arrangements there is a little bit lower than usual. a little bit more temporary as handbags as far as walls in had some cases. to be sure that is being looked at, that facility. in fact there's nobody there right now in terms of american sta staff>> we talked about sending in 50 marines. the war ships are in labia. there is no way they can protect the higher region. you have been there at the embassy in yemen. if they do if the u.s. secures the embassies are we talking about one or two security officers or hundreds that surround the whole compound? >> you

egypt is another matter. under the dictator mubarak, a savage man, that country was an ally to the u.s.a. because we bought mubarak and his generals. now, there is nothing wrong with that. we have got a lot out of egypt as far as calming things down with israel. now the muslim brotherhood is in charge and it's a completely different story. president obama and governor romney, if he wins the election, must understand that any attacks on american citizens anywhere will have to be punished. it's not enough to say, hey: don't do it again. egypt should lose all aide for the rest of the year. and no american should travel to that country in the same time frame that that's the memo. "the washington post" foreign correspondent michael birnbaum has been watching developments all day. he joins us on the phone. am i making any mistakes in my talking points as far as the facts are concerned? no mistakes as far as the facts are concerned. american officials have in the past complained to me that the egyptian military has

policy towards egypt.ed former leader of egypt, hosni mubarak, egypt was considered an ally. but you have a democratic elections recently, member of the muslim brotherhood was elected president, and there have been concerns among u.s. officials that egypt is still trying to find its way. so now you have these protests. and yesterday during an interview with telemundo, president obama was asked whether this new regime was still considered an ally. here's how the president answered that question. >> would you consider the current egyptian regime an ally of the united states? >> i don't think that we would consider them an ally. but we don't consider them an enemy. they are a new government that is trying to find its way. they were democratically elected. i think that we are going to have to see how they respond to this incident. >> reporter: the white house spokesman jay carney and other administration officials were pushing back a bit saying that the president was correct in using legal and diplomatic terms

which direction is egypt going to go? are they going to be a friend, an ally of the united states or are they going to go off on their own path, which is going to set up a whole new set of problems for egypt. and remember, some of this is for domestic politics. they have a horrible economy and it's going to get worse. and sometimes in cases like that, we notice that the easy default is, hey, you might not have a job, have no hope, but let's hate the american or the israelis across the border. and i think there's some of that going on in egypt right now which is very disturbing and will lead to some serious trouble if we don't get this turned around. >> chairman rogers, one final question. and i know as americans are waking up this morning and they're seeing these pictures play out in yemen and other countries, and they're thinking back to the last time we saw this, a celebratory revolution, and they're wondering, is the arab spring coming back to haunt us? what's your answer? >> well, i think it's too early to tell. i thi
