earlier this month the nation started to operate a nuclear facility in fordow in the central city of guam. iran apparently took the move to show people in and outside the country that it will continue uranium enrichment. iran is sticking to its hard line stance because of the domestic political situation. a power struggle among conservatives is escalating, forcing the leadership to take a firmer approach towards western nations. >> translator: iran will not give in to economic sanctions being imposed on the country by western nations no matter how tough they are. >> reporter: iran is holding on to its nuclear development despite mounting international pressure. as tensions between the country in the west spiral upward, so do tensions in the strait of hormuz. mojtaba sanati, nhk world, tehran. >>> china's government plans too tighten the rules for microblogging websites. a government official said on wednesday that a site such as wibo, their version of twitter, spread unfounded rumors and harmful information. the government will make users nationwide register real names and other personal

stroke but again that doesn't match nearly what you have at okinawa what you have is you will go in guam and other places in the pacific right president obama though you know we heard in his speech recently that he doesn't want to shift more of the focus away from the middle east and to this region china now you know becoming more of an economic world player a political world player but you know. our strategy in the middle east that was a counterterrorism and it's very arguable now that that we're better off now than we were ten years ago so why i kind of pull away from that mission and now. focus more and this region well again the reason you pull out of that you're out of iraq you're on your way out of afghanistan and so basically that's how you can save money by cutting your ground troops the president decided not to cut the number of aircraft carrier so he's not increasing the you had up there yes they build new carriers every secures. i've been doing that you know basically since the end of world war two so there's nothing you know i understand we're toric leave people think so but

it could be guam or village inislands and d.c. then you have your name in the convention.t wouldn't be just a thumb in the eye presumably in f romney is the nominee, it would be way to veined indicate his campaign. would it keep alive the idea if there is a fractured meeting in tampa, that somehow the delegates decided after a ballot they want a conservative candidate, it could be him. so i think he is in it. it's going to get much more nasty. i don't see him dropping out along the way. >> brett: your thoughts on this battle. each of these candidates because it's so negative down here. the unfavorables are going up for both mitt romney and newt gingrich? >> i know. it's becoming a problem of the very divided republican party. i think what newt gingrich is finding. he a front-runner. he has more delegates. he won the last contest. he made history in south carolina but in ten days, he is too toxic a choice for the establishment and it's going to be wipeout for him. i think charles is right. he stays on to criticize to chip away at his electability along the way. but the oppo

of world war ii, i find that really appalling that he let them go into those exposed areas such as guam and wake island and parts of the philippines with such bad weapons and many of the men who died, i believe, in those conflicts could blame fdr. but as far as pearl harbor goes, i do think that we cut the japanese off from their resources. and i will say an interesting study is to read the papers of ambassador joseph grew, who was in tokyo all during the '30s and he's pleading with washington to put off this embargo. he's pleading with them in saying there is a peace faction in the japanese and we can build that if you will put the embargo off. but roosevelt and hull are determined to embargo oil and scrap iron. and they make it very, very difficult for the japanese to receive any of that so the japanese war party gains ascendiantcy in tokyo and thus pearl harbor. and i'm asked did i think fdr knew about pearl harbor -- we say in the book that fdr knew an attack was coming and he knew an attack was probably coming the first of december, the first two weeks of december. but where was it

>>> the owe guam obama administration is warning iran. iran is threatening to close the strait of hormuz, a vital water way where a fifth of the world's oil flows through over day. senior administration officials say doing so would cross a red line that would force the u.s. to reopen the strait using military force. i'm joined by msnbc military analyst and retired army colonel jack jacobs. great to have you here. as we continue to talk more about this and brief ourselves on the facts about what is taking place, explain to all of us, do they really have the capacity to close the strait in iran or is this just a bluff? >> well, it might be a bluff but they certainly do militarily have the capability to close straits of hormuz. it is only about 23 miles across at its greatest restriction and the sea lane is not very wide there at all. they have the capability of laying mines and it won't take very much to mine the sea lanes there. in addition, they have some kilo class submarines run very, very talent, difficult to detect, even with our curr

they would be positioned in guam, korea, and japan, and places like this. strategy focuses on naval and air assets and also space. navy and air are pretty expensive. there's a great history of cost growth in naval air force and space satellite programs over the last decade. it could eat the pentagon alive if costs are not contained. the strategy has a downside. if costs keep increasing, they've got a real problem. on the other hand, this is the way you compensate for a smaller ground force. host: specifically, this twitter, it is about the carrier fleet. this is bozthx, who tweets -- guest: there are 11. it will go down to 10 for a couple of years. traditionally, we have three to four carriers blow in the pacific. you have one positioned in the persian gulf. carriers are loved by members of congress. the public loves aircraft carriers, also. they are the highest manifestation of u.s. naval presence. 1,000 yards of diplomacy, as some of the ads would say. the downside of carriers in the pacific is this. china has developed an anti-ship ballistic missile that

that goes to guam, one of our protectorates.t was a seven-vote difference between hillary clinton and president obama back in 2008. but darn close, nonetheless. so exercise your right to vote is the headline coming out of there. and the headline coming out of the "des moines register" is -- it's a split decision. now, they go to press before they even get the answer to the question who won. and they essentially put this up because you know what? if you look at the numbers, an eight-vote split really means santorum did get somewhat of a win out of this. i think it's going to be romney with the win with the endorsement coming out today. >> john mccain. >> i love that story that john mccain is coming out today in new hampshire to endorse mitt romney. okay. if you don't remember back to 2008, this is a big old deal because john mccain was in a bitter-pitched battle in that primary in 2008 against mitt romney and beat his pants. and it was an ugly contest. and yet here they come, kumbaya, four years later, and he's going to endorse h

program to puerto rico, the united states virgin islands and guam. s.s.i. provides cash assistance to blind, disabled or elderly individuals who have limited or no income. although s.s.i. applies in the states it does not apply in puerto rico which instead receives a block grant to assist its most vulnerable residents. further disparities that puerto rico faces because of its territory status, this is perhaps the most harmful. puerto rico's grant is about $35 million. by contrast the nation's poorest state with almost one million fewer residents received over $740 million in s.s.i. funding in 2010. while in the state's beneficiaries received about $500 each month, puerto rico residents received only $70. residents of puerto rico are american citizens but when it comes to s.s.i., their citizenship is second class. i hope my colleagues on both sides of the aisle will support this bill. thank you, mr. speaker, i yield back the balance of my time. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman yields back the balance of his time. for what purpose does the gentleman fro
