tonight geo gonzalez shows us why. stellar on the mound. plus, d.c.tand as they creep closer to that top spot. sports is next. >>> ever since spring training, a lot of great things have been said about the nationals' starting rotation. despite a few minor hick-ups here and there they have continued to be dominant. as of tonight, geo gonzalez and stephen strasburg lead the national league in strikeouts. you'll see why in just a moment, but first, tonight's offense mat bryce harper jacks one towards the score board. close to going out, but just shy. instead he settles for his first career triple. but unfortunately, he gets stranded on third. doesn't come home but still, a good night for bryce. more hot bats in the 6th. adam laroche goes yard directly followed by davey nady. here is geo. a season high 10 strikeouts tonight. to jump stephen strasburg for the stop spot. nationals take it 7-4. >> we got some pretty good pitchers over here. you know, when you have that, it keeps the pressure off your defense. >>> orioles not kansas city taking on the royals.

the geo-textile cover is put over the clay and earth cap.hen finally, there's a cover of grasses, part of an ecological restoration that includes many progressive experimental projects. how did i get onto this path that led me to sitting in an office at "landfill engineering and recycling" headquarters? this is going to sound strange, but it happened when i had a baby. as a mother, i became a maintenance worker. i had a degree in international relations. another degree in art. and as i'm doing these repetitive tasks taking care of the baby, all of a sudden i had an honest-to-god revelation. if i'm the artist, and i can call anything art, i call that art. and in this sort of magical moment, i said, "that's it. maintenance is art," and i wrote this manifesto. i did many performance artworks in public where i would assume the persona of the maintenance worker. i did what the maintenance people do. only because i'm the artist, when i did it, it became art. i washed the entire front entrance of the museum, which was huge. i washed a street in soh

mitt romney is saying russia is our number one geo-political foe, can which is not true. and blaming the president for appeasing unidentified enemies. it is the type of thing that shouldn't passfully kind of laugh test. you shouldn't be allowed in the room with positions like that. but because it feeds this notion that obama is an amateur, that he is not really american, can't really care about america and american values, it finds a foot hold among those out there who are already skrept cal of the president and red meat for those folks. it is kind of sad that romney has to sink that low and can't have an honest debate over foreign policy and national security differences. >> he doesn't know anything about foreign policy. >> i know. >> it seems to me, and david, he doesn't know -- i'm no hawk. but i have been reading a lot about reagan lately. he spent a lot of time trying to get gadhafi and people of libya. let's not forget the people. those people got rid of this bad guy. w. talked like the macho man about getting the bad guys in the war on terrorism. in terms of the wa

you'll recall those first days, my good friend wolf, when we were doing that and the geo-strategic foes of opinion with the russians? yes. will they get mad at us from time to time? yes, will we get mad at them? it's part, of it, and they're trying to bring wealth to its people and so there are areas of cooperation more so than areas of tension and when governor romney said that it was right after the president had a conversation with the leadership of the russian federation and he said, you know, after the election i'll have more room to maneuver. i don't find that all that shocking and mr. romnethink, took it to an extreme painting them as a foe. i don't think they're a foe and i don't think they've been a foe sense the end of the cold war. >> what do you think of the foreign policy advisers who surround mitt romney right now? >> ultimately it's mr. romney who has responsibility for what he says, and i know most of the people around me, some of them are more extreme than i am on certain issues and i'm of the moderate view, and i think what mr. romney has to do is be careful with thes

america what why why is it advantageous geo politically speaking well. started the year we we saw the u.s. announcements of their new defense strategy which is rebalancing towards and putting more troops in this region to secure its economic and security interests and that includes placing more u.s. troops here in the philippines and transforming the entire country if there's some into some sort of military outpost for the united states troops and i believe that the projection of the projection of military power is aimed toward such rivals that the u.s. would like china and it becomes very convenient now that the u.s. stands to exploit the territorial disputes between the philippines and china so that it can justify further putting more troops in our territory in violation of our national sovereignty in violation of your national sovereignty america putting more troops in the region might seem to some and certainly as you want to elude to the some might see the u.s. in one way or another provoking china why would the u.s. want to provoke china. well i do

reaction now from greece let's talk with geo political and economic expert alexandra's who faces. thanks for joining us so you think greece's troubles are largely a byproduct of corruption and its poor military and defense policy of the one nine hundred ninety s. why don't you blame the global economic crisis well i never actually said that i wrote an article about caste. putting the blames on as well this is more a geopolitical monitor but everyone everyone knows how how anyone what we global crises that shifted to from from an american. perspective to the european one in order for germany to choir economic but if you really give money over the south obviously. a whole being to make a large industrial. zone so that it can have cheap forced labor. i mean do you think the new political couple in greece will help greece get out of the mess that it's in do you think our staring could cause more hardship for the country well this is almost like a joke because i've read in financial times on the thirty first of october two thousand and eleven that the rating agencies fall under today y

well first of all any new president would have to take the geo political situation in the middle east the second point is we have to wait and see who is going to win between the two contenders there's a lot of still a lot of time in two and a half weeks until the second round we might see offers counteroffers deals statements declare ations whatever the basic line is that who of these two contenders is going to win if it's going to. be the one who was the prime minister during that time. i think that he will be dedicated more for the domestic affairs and the domestic problems because there are huge there will be the muslim brotherhood definitely is going to join forces with hamas in gaza and definitely he would support publicly overtly. the palestinian issue and this might push israel and egypt on a track of that's a pleasant. you know statements between two capitals now egypt has been the heavyweight of the arab world how do you think cairo has influence in the region has changed since the ousting of president mubarak. i think that egypt did not lose let's say the leadership in the m

i think china is the voldemort of perk's geo political pose. it's the war that must not be spoken, china. but the reality is if you've got a problem out there right now, if you look at where we're spending our money in concern about the long-term, whether you talk about economic state craft and our policy to try to create something to deal with state capitalism or you talk about the money we're spending on cyber or the pivot towards our allies in hard security with the australians and philippines and the rest, what's that b it is to the about al qaeda, it's to the about russia. it's about china. don't listen what our politicians say, watch what america does, what america is doing is setting up a policy to be able to hedge, and if necessary, contain a chinese rise that is not aligned with the behaviors we would like to see. >> rose: and the chinese say to themselves, i assume, the most important thing for us is to continue and stabilize and sustain the rise. and to do that, we want to ensure our prosperity. we want to ensure that we have a stead
