and now the pulitzer prize winning journalist and fox news contributor judith miller. dith, in recent history all we had to go by is the cartridge bomb, and we traced that. my question here is, if frankfurt was the final destination for this, is this an isolated package in your estimation? or are we looking for more than one package? >> as jonathan said i do think you just have to assume there may be more than one even though we have no information whether or not there is more than one. we don't know, for example, whether or not this package may have been connected to the packages that were sent by al qaeda from yemen and attempted to reach our shores but at this point it is very early, this news has just broken, and all mailrooms today, and all leading corporations are automatically cautious about these things, the fact it was intercepted should give us some degree of confidence that we are making some progress. and intercepted means it came from somewhere else, and the concern is where did it originate? >>guest: exactly. you want to know who sent it and how sophistica

you had the judith miller issue.he previous judith miller issue. >> keller: you're giving me flashbacks.

with us, fox news contributor judith miller.ou called this that it would not get better. >> you and i agreed when this started, this was going to be a long, drawn out, miserable fight that it's becoming and the indian envoy, head of the special commission, briefed the u.n. security council yesterday, a closed session, but she came up with the estimate of 5,000 people dead so far. and that's a thousand more than she reported only ten days ago. so this rebellion is accelerating. >> the government is murdering citizens by the thousands in the streets. the members of the military are defecting in large numbers we're led to believe and fighting against the government. the president is sitting back as sort of commander in chief of the forces against his own people. what can the world do? >> very little. the united states is really doing as much as it can short of military action. the focus has been the un and it's been pushing hard what they call the bricks, brazil, russia, india and china. >> emerging economies. >> exactly. to permit

. >> here now with reaction, fox news contributor, judith miller and author of "american individualism news contributor, margaret hoover. judith, let's go back to john mccain's words, unraveling. >> it certainly looks that way. the only thing i would say about senator mccain's comment, i would add the word "potentially" unraveling, "potentially" tragic. a lot depends on the internal iraqi forces and whether or not they want to keep their country together because we are no longer a factor in their calculations. >> they might want to keep their country together. the question though is whether they are capable of doing it. when you look at the video footage of people, basically openly siphoning off the oil out of the pipeline and selling it on the black market, have you to wonder whether these guys are capable of running the functions of a sovereign state. >> that's exactly right. that is the key question. is this power-sharing deal, which has had the shiites, sunnis and kurds work together, possible in the absence of a u.s. military presence. it appears that americans lift and then sudde

joining us is judith miller a author and fox news contributor. mercedes cohen anddine.inia is one of eleven states holding a super tuesday. we have 46 delegates up for grabs and only two on the ballot. ron paul and mitt romney, does it count? >> it counts but what does it say about the campaigns that they couldn't organize so they couldn't get virginia's minimum standards. newt has a point, when he says, how is this going to be a fair contest when only two out of the top six contenders are going to be there. it's an unfortunate situation because we want more people to vote not fewer people to vote in the primaries. >> obviously the voters have the right to say who their candidates should be. there will be certainly. some of these top contenders aren't there on the ballot. it's infuriate together voters. >> they say newt is the smartest man in the room. the smartest man in the room has taken himself out of the race. the question is, who will the newt supporters support? will they be behind romney or paul? now its two-man race. >> they are going to try and organize a writ

let's bring in our panel, judith miller and kirsten powers." op-ed piece that karl rove wrote yesterday. he writes, debates transfer power to the media, draining it from the campaigns. the media also decide what aspect are most worthy after post-debate coverage. judy, he is saying in his view there are just too many debates. >> i think karl rove is such an influential person in republican party politics that he probably doesn't like any competition from social media. i really disagree with that. i think that, yes, the media emphasized certain themes but i think people respond to other things. they respond to, you know, what michele bachmann is wearing or her aggressiveness in her attack on newt. the media can find -- fine tune a theme, an idea, like the looney label they're trying to stick on newt gingrich. but it is ultimately people who decide. jon: zany i think. >> looney or zany. for lunar, colonies on planets to develop ore. all this sounds weird. they're trying to do that. the media can emphasize those themes but ultimately it is the vie

to talk us with this, author judith miller, pulitzer prize-winning investigative author and fox newstributor. we have a image to though show our audience. the incident happened, military police took a woman and dragged her into the street and exposing her and beating her in front of the crowd there. this is on tuesday. this is being front page news in egypt. >> right. jenna: we've seen obviously a lot of protests over the last year but this image specifically of a woman in the street in egypt and in that way, talk to us about why this is so important. >> well, this is such a stunning thing, jenna, for women and egyptian society because a woman in arab culture and in islamic culture is the source of pride and of honor and when she is stripped and her body displayed in a public square it's just a shame for the family, for the tribe, for the city, for the culture and this is something that will not go away because egyptian women and men are so angry about this. jenna: now you were in egypt in february. you've lived in egypt in the past. >> yep. jenna: what do you this tells us where egy

judith miller, she's the woman for you. i'm sure we've met before. at lord's for sports relief.s' running shoes. that's right, yes. but i thought you were a great sportsman. yes, but i also have a great interest coming from belfast and harland and wolff shipbuilding. my father was the port health officer for belfast in the 1950's and the 1960's, which meant no new liner or new ship would leave belfast without him giving it a clean bill of health. so he was in a very good position. i'm actually glad you brought this, because inevitably here, we have a sort of titanic emphasis. the belfast shipbuilding. but there's much more to belfast. there's also much more to harland and wolff. and here we have canberra, i think the most beautiful ship ever. the liner that shaped the future, they said. that's right. now this is a 1959 calendar. from memory, she was launched in 1960. 1960. near st. patrick's day, 1960. the most extraordinary thing to me is that, actually looking around this wonderful room-- she could have been designed right here. where we're sitting. all this wonderful detail c

is lis we will and judith miller and k.t. mcfarland. thank you all so much for joining us.eek before christmas and home for the holidays, these troops that headed out of iraq almost nine years, eight years they've been here. march 2003, remember the shock and awe? and departure last night. >> it was eight years ago and wonderful to see the footage over the last couple days to see them coming home. one thing upsetting they are coming home, one of legacies. >> i think, military fought well and turned around a disastrous situation. we're coming home heads held high. political leaders of both parties. they said there were weapons of mass destruction and there weren't. they said it was cheap and easy it wasn't quick. they said it was going to be quick. it wasn't. at the end of the day we would have a pro-american iraq -- we don't. so it's a lesson we have to a define our mission and forces adequate to achieve it and stick to that mission and not let mission creep takes over so ten years later we are left with a big question. >> 4500 americans. >> 40,000 americans were injured >>

mcfarland and host of fox news and judith miller, investigative reporter and fox news contributor. >>what do we think? should girls ask boys out? she was referencing the prom when she was on the show. she said she doesn't allow her daughters to ask boys out. [ laughter ] >> i think times have changed. michele bachmann's generation. times have changed. i checked with my daughters before i came on and they said, mom, get with it. girls ask boys out or you go with a group. >> remember the rules and sit at home and wait for a call. forget it. i say to my daughter the only limitations you have in this world is the ones you impose on yourself. if you want something, go for it. >> i understand old-fashioned but apply this rule to michele bachmann standard to professional life. michele bachmann would be asking for a man to ask her to run for president. >> so the women are out there for women rights. >> sean hannity is not liberal that encourages women to be aggressive. even she was surprised with her response. >> heather: so what about the prom? >> i asked my husband to marry me. it's very op

let's talk to kirsten powers, judith miller, both are fox news contributors. the president gave in kansas earlier this week. did it, it was described as sort of taking a new tone, a less optimistic tone about the country. do you agree? >> many some ways, i guess, but i have to say it really did appeal to a lot of the liberals, it's what they really wanted to hear. they felt that he had finally sort of come around to, you know, to being the person that they thought, you know, thought he would be and be talking the way they thought he would be talking. so it was probably more directed at trying to gin up, you know, support among his base which i think it did. jon: judy, was it smart politics? the president in the past in state of the union addresses and so forth has expressed confidence in the american dream. now he seemed to be saying, hey, you know, middle class, you are in trouble because the rich people are manipulating the system. >> right, jon. i think that what we've seen now is a decision by the president and his people that even though many people had t

judith miller is a pulitzer prize-winning investigative reporter. both are fox news contributors.h attention, so much importance gets placed on iowa yet the results of these caucuses play absolutely no bearing on the number of delegates these candidates will relief? >> absolutely right, jon. as gail's column pointed out in her column in the "new york times" the republicans who turn out in iowa are roughly the equivalent of the population of, you know, small town in california. i mean, you know, pomona college, that's what you're dealing with here yet the momentum that can be built up out of iowa is really astonishing and it happens every year even though we know new hampshire is much more important in terms of determining who gets that nomination than iowa but it doesn't stop us. jon: so we're not picking delegates here, kirsten. i guess we're picking preferences and picking what, media momentum? >> well, yeah they, their delegates are non-binding which means they don't have to vote exactly as the electorate voted. that doesn't mean they wouldn't but typically by the time you get
