henry kissinger was critical of unga and others have expressed their concern and disappointment with the united nations, but i believe that at its best, united nation is not only a critical, essential institution but one that the united states has a lot of equities. so i am looking forward, not only that it's in new york and i get to go home, but it's an official as well as an personal obligation i am looking forward to. let me begin by echoing the president's statement yesterday of the approval of his security team to deploy a stronger and comprehensive missile defense in europe. this came after a lengthy assessment of the threat posed by iran's missle program. and the technology we have today and what might be available in the future to confront it. we believe this is a decision that will leave america stronger and capable of defending our troops and allies. let me be clear of what the new system will do, as to the previous program. with the president's decision, we will deploy defense sooner than the previous program, we be able to swiftly deploy the threat of iran's missles. we w

in the early 1980's henry kissinger wrote an article critiquing the ldp and sing one of the reasons youould negotiate with the ldp is because it had all of these factions and the eats faction thought something different about policy. i remember because it was my first letter to a newspaper that was published, dr. kissinger with all due respect you were quite wrong because it was driven by power differences, but henry kissinger's article which if it were resurrected we be completely about the dpj today. notch is power inside the party, you are going to have an incredible heterodoxy among the very large at friends institution which they have not figured out how to discipline that yet and how to create conflict management mechanisms to move forward and we have seen that in the rotating leadership with con and akaka and hatoyama who are all themselves, are going to have to figure that out but it is not just them, it is other folks to. i will look up that kissinger peace and bring it back but in that sense that is a real handicap when it comes to moving and they have got to figure that out s

henry kissinger flunked on it. we have all flung on it.t of the matter is that it is going to take more influence and clout than we have. both sides are intransigent and ready to choose each other, but not ready to settle anything. >> what do you make of the president of iran, ahmadinejad, speaking before the president on wednesday? do you expect them to acknowledge each other in any way? >> the obvious answer to that is no. i would not fall over in a dead faint of one way or the other ahmadinejad would try to embarrass the president by shaking his hand or slapping him on the ba for something. nor, frankly, would i be surprised if the president felt it was a good way to break the ice. he might move in some way to talk to him. certainly there is nothing planned. it will certainly be a surprise if they do do anything. i do not trust either one on this one. i think that the president really wants to find a way to start talking with the iranians. i would not be surprised if he was prepared to do some game playing to get there. greta: my favori

[laughter] >> guest: henry kissinger, henry lies, people die. there was an anger, angst, and it scared middle america. i'm not talking political >> host:cared some young pele, scared some people that were 12 looking at the 20-year-olds. >> guest: right, just like with me later. you could say the same thing about barack obama in 2008. how in the world did a guy who was arguably the most liberal member of the united states senate become seen as the safe choice in 2008? because barack obama temperntally seemed like the safe choice, seemedike a safer choi than a john mccain who some people asked, is he too old? does this guy who says on the day that lehman brothers collapse cans the markets go into a free fallhat the fundaments aft economy -- of the economy are sound? >> host: obama seems more serious than mccain, kuhn what i eean? -- do you know what i mean? >> guest: i think john mccain believes he was forced to take positions he really doesn't believe. drill, baby, drill. not john mccain, really the first green republica in t past 25 years in the

essentially did this when he created a national security advisor position for a close confidante named henry kissinger, who ended up doing an enron around another person at the time, and the rationale was that he needed his own foreign policy confidants, i guess, and we all know what happened, in retrospect -- his own foreign policy, cannot -- confidante. >> basically, what you are saying, some people say the government spends money. yes, the government spends a lot of money, but obama is making all of it look like child's play. it did not make it right then, but we do not even know the number for certain, because the white house will not admit how many czars they have appointed. look. this gets back to basic constitutional functions of congress and the executive branch, accountability, and transparency, openness, very basic functions, and if you have people who are unconfirmed, unvetted, i mean, look at the van jones episode, who was not vetted by the white house. they are not open to any hearing to what previous administrations have adhered to -- they are not open to adhering to a previous administr

but not very much liked by richard nixon or henry kissinger who thought he was too much of a lefty.s elected in 1970. the u.s.-backed coup to remove him took place in 19 # 3. the riots which took place to protest what we did, well, they've continued almost every year since it happened. here is the latest one. it's become almost commonplace. by the way, if you decide to google allenda, you might want to google pinoche. while you're at it. then you might really find out why some of these folks are still so angry. despite the riot police, no one was injured during friday's fightings. >>> next, a sports brawl to end all sports brawls. national championship night in canadian lacrosse turns into a ten-minute battle royale. photos next. i'm more active, i eat right, and i switched to new one a day women's active metabolism. a complete women's multivitamin plus more for metabolism support. and that's a change i feel good about. new from one a day. football... and their favorite red baron pizza. announcer: with unbeatable prices on red baron pizza-- game time costs less at walmart. save mone

in the early 1980's, henry kissinger wrote an article pointing today ldp, they had all these factions and each faction thought something different about policy. my first letter to a newspaper that was published, dr. kissinger, you're quite wrong. up actions were not driven by policy differences but power differences. henry kissinger's article, if it was resurrected, would be completely true about the dpj today. it is not power and as a party, but an inquest -- it is not power within his party, but an incredible heterodoxy within his party, how to create conflict management mechanisms to move forward. we have seen that in the rotating leadership with many, they are going to have to figure brought out out. but it is other folks, too. i looked up at kissinger peace and bring it back. but that is a real handicap when it comes to moving -- and they have to figure out that sen. i don't think that they have. >> doctor -- dr. kissinger said -- called earlier and asked if you're going to repeat that. he always knows. >> it is also not clear that dpj will replicate exactly this factional approa

prevented the likes of dick cheney working in the white house as a chief of staff, which he did of henry kissinger, it would prevent everyone who's currently working in the white house who advises the president on anything other than his tie selection, wouldn't it? >> well, jack kingston is taking his facts from glenn beck. who has replaced rush limbaugh as the leader of the republican party. you know, many of these people are confirmed by the senate, and then they get the name picked up as czars. many of us have imaginary friends. glenn beck and these republicans have imaginary czars. they're nothing more than people who are in jobs that as you said in the intro when you stumbled over one of the names, it's much easier to call them a czar than to come out with these long names. >> the term czar, it is, let's just get it straight here, it's a journalistic coinage, has no real meaning. is the right suffering from a kind of confusion here that just a half decent high school education could've cured? >> well, you know, they're looking for every little thing to mount, you know, three hours on talk rad

henry kissinger, bill perry, sam nunn and george shultz, who famously, two and a half years ago, wrote a piece in the "wall street journal" called "towards a nuclear weapons free world," and they have actually met with president obama on this subject. but then once president obama came in and made a quick tour of the room, shook a lot of hands, and then just, i would say about a minute and a half or two before he was scheduled to start, president sarkozy finally made his grand entrance, got halfway through the room and had to sit down. but once they started, it was very business-like. president obama gave a quick opening statement, he called for a vote on the resolution, and it was done, clearly pre-cooked, in, i think it was about four or five minutes. but then after that, as the leaders each had their four or five minutes each to talk, that's when you saw that, despite common themes, there are significant differences. >> woodruff: well, elaborate on those differences. what do you mean? >> warner: well, the most -- they have different views on how to even work towards a nuclear free w

placed source in the administration, referring to the absolute brilliance of the policies of henry kissingernd navigating the vietnam war. a highly placed source commenting on doctor kissinger was doctor kissinger. [laughter] >> but it had to do with the structure of the journalism itself. now, feature writing, one of the things that made it different, is it had a very clear individual voice. and the reporter, the writer of it, whether it was in the old period lincoln steffen or jack london before he turned to fiction, or drink a new journalism of tom wolfe or hunter s. thompson, they had a voice. as a journalist himself was an active agent. jack newfield in the village voice always in his articles revealed the newsgathering process is to. he demystified appear to talk to picking up a phone and talking to the deputy mayor. it wasn't a highly placed source of privileged only to the village voice. it was jack newfield picking up the phone talking to the deputy mayor. embedded in the very structure of the journalism and the genre was the newsgathering process. and it didn't mystify. it very muc

brought democrats and republicans leaders together, leaders like george schultz, bill perry, henry kissingerwho are with us today. it was a republican president, ronald reagan, who once articulated the goal we now seek in the starkest of terms. i quote. a nuclear war cannot be won, and must never be fought. and no matter how great the obstacles may seem we must never stop our efforts to reduce the weapons of war. we must never stop -- we muftd never stop at ault until we see the day when nuclear arms are banished from the face of the earth. that is our task. that can be our destiny. and we will leave this meeting with a renewed determination to achieve this shared goal. thank you. in accordance with the understanding reached among council members i wish to remind all speakers to limit their statements to no more than five minutes in order to enable the counse council to carry on its work. kindly circulate the text in writing and deliver a condensed version when speaking in the chamber. i shall now invite the distinguished secretary general to take the floor. >>> thank you mr. president. dist

when richard nixon resigned, he submitted a letter to henry kissinger who was secretary of state. but the state functions, these housekeeping functions, or transfer to the national archives and the federal register after world war ii. a couple of electronic notes there, the first principle -- federal register to be electronic was in 1994. we put the entire of code of federal regulations on line in 1987. but we were updated daily and 2001. and we began digitally authenticating loss in 2007. i will say more about that later. we're very proud of the fact that we inaugurated on inauguration day daily compilation of presidential documents, which replaced the old template version, a weekly publication, and basically and prepared a daily compilation posted the president's speech within two hours after the inauguration, and we now update it every day. this is the official publication of presidential remarks, statements, and other official documents in the federal register itself. we're switching the entire platform of all laws, regulations, to a new system called the federal digital syste

when henry ford wrote a book about the federal reserve, what that was all about, how in 1970 to henry kissinger and richard nixon stood on the great wall of china and talked about how they could use the cheap labor over there -- so, glenn baeck, i think he is an instrument in meeting these people into believing that they need to work against their own best interest. so, it sounds like a ponzi scheme and a disney production all rolled into one. thank you. host: more opinions this morning on the president's speech. this one from frank rich inside the we can review section. his conclusion -- obama's squandered summer. he left a the silly season run amok. good morning, chicago. caller: good morning. i would like to talk about michael savage who has never been addressed on television. that man is a tv -- and i mean radio host, and he has been banned from great britain. it is strange -- not tv, nor radio, nor is piper's thought about why he was banned. host: i have read about it in a number of publications. caller: wow, because it is really not getting out much. i appreciate c-span coverage. america

>> look, this is i think an example of that henry kissinger rule that sometimes the policies are better highly motivated american forces in the country and they're training an afghan army where we're beginning to approach that magic number of security personnel that is necessary to keep order in a troubled area. we saw with a number that was successfully hit for example in iraq. on the other hand the president has been very nervous, i think speaking too much about this because of trouble from his own party. i'm one of the people that signed that letter to him saying we're republicans and we'll supportdown this and i think it's very important that the republicans don't make criticism of a war that the united states is in. this is not like this is a new question. you're in the middle of this war, even if you wouldn't want it in the first place. >> some are calling it al franken's party trick. jeanne moos takes a look at the congressman's unusual talent. j. i was blown away. i'm blown away. only verizon wireless has small-business specialists in every store to help you do business better.

a lot of republicans, including george schultz and henry kissinger and others have said that's absolutelycritical to do because the proliferation of nuclear weapons around the world are our number one threat and to get at that touf have more support from russia on iran, but also reduce our own arsenals to convince other countries that we're serious. so wasn't getting that relationship back on some sort of a workable position important for the obama administration? >> well, that's absolutely true. and i agree with that whole heartedly. getting the russian relationship strengthened, ensuring that we have a successful start negotiation is important. having russia for the first time agree with us that iranian advancements in the nuclear area and the missile area is something that should be addressed through sanctions and the diminished would be wonderful. i don't agree that the way to do it is by lessening the defense systems of the united states. and i would be surprised if others agree that by lessening the systems, that it's the right way to go. we need to get them at the table, but not th
