. -- it will be a permanent hauser -- hazard for wetland management. >> by may 20 plus year resident of pacifica support restoring sharp park legislation. here is a picture of glen eagle golf course. i will leave it with you. clearly the course would benefit from added resources and maintenance. this is just one example of the more need for maintenance and resources of other parks. the community would enjoy an increase in its economy by management from the national park service. this legislation is a smart economic decision for pacifica. pacifica will enjoy increased tourism, jobs, enriched educational opportunities. we will benefit from a better economy and a public park everyone can enjoy. it is also a smart economic decision for san francisco. it will no longer pay out for annual operating losses. it will cost millions for a golf course that is not even accessible by muni. city resources will be focused back on parks located in the city. i really support this legislation. i think it will make my community better. it will make the parks in san francisco better-funded. here are many

increase public support for war against the country what we see hear about these atrocities add five to hauser. deaths here and the so-called massacres none of these numbers are confirmed they are actually given and if you look at the media they are actually telling you that they are getting their information from the. rebel army but they're not getting it from inside the country but of course when you look at the mainstream media at least here in the united states they are just repeating those numbers now in our four hour news websites we have been getting information from syria and these are not necessarily the supporters of assad will these are the people who are providing information to us they are there they are on the ground and then be run these stories nobody picks them up except a handful of international news outlets because it does not conform to what the reporting here in the united states does all this is basically a make up of a psychological warfare first of all the decision on syria was made a years ago even as the preparations began and this is a turkey on the border there the

paul stein hauser has more on that. get my mouth to work. hi, paul. >> i like that. that's good. the caucuses kick off the presidential primary. the big question was mitt romney going to step up his efforts in this crucial state in take a listen to this new ad that starts playing today on tv iowa. >> i spent my life in the private sector. i've competed with companies around the world. i've learned something about how it is that economies grow. we won't balance the budget by pretending all you have to do is take up the waste. we have to cut spending. >> little taste there you can see of romney tauting his business world credentials. it comes with less than five weeks to go. he's had two commercial alls in new hampshire. a similar one is playing today in new hampshire as well. the big question of course for romney was how big he was going to step things up in iowa. four years ago he spent a lot of time and money campaign ng iowa. it didn't work. he lost the caucuses there. then a week later he lost in new hampshire. that was the end of it for him. walking on a tight rope here. he w
