interests and we've seen classic examples of that down the ages we've already ninety nine in kosovo wherewe were told there was genocide taking place to get across how brains were the yugoslav authorities that wasn't true and that was a pretext for the bombardment of that country with the aim of bring about regime change would happen in two thousand so we see this human rights the iraq receipt kind of you have the whole you know hold out by the americans to kind of topple governments which aren't following the line who are toeing the us line whereas countries with actually far worse off on democracy and rights like saudi arabia are given arms are giving economic you know those economic relationships with the u.s. and so it's a completely people who are going with with them and meal you've mentioned the arms deals the oil contracts of course the u.s. does have some of the largest arms exports to saudi arabia for example but when you mention the years as interests do you believe that it's just about these economic issues or is there a wider perhaps a geo political interest that the united s

i think we are very close to a real settlement between kosovo and serbia.that will allow us to drawdown of forces. today we have about 6000 there. when i came into the job four years ago, we had 15,000. in and of itself, that is something that will bear fruit. it could drive things down as early as late this year. stay tuned, i think there is more progress ahead in the balkans. >> that is very encouraging. it is also encouraging to think that hopefully if we are 15 years out from the current crisis in syria, that we might see some similar progress. >> hopefully faster. >> yes, i agree. >> that would be great. i am not sure who would like to answer the next question. but i think admiral stavridis, you had talked about how critical a relationship with poland is. i'm wondering if you could elaborate on that given our military relationship. >> i would be glad to. the senator is one of the pillars in the alliance there. one of the most capable military individuals in eastern europe. they are full participants in all of the nato mission. the troops fight very bra

friend who brought the thought that the local car dealership was nursing the earth grid i have that kosovo victory mcgann, but i had to move back in with a girl who claimed to enjoy baking, always promising that i would be muffin day. it was about and it maybe once. i would've given anything instead of being doomed to a choice between mother superior and husband your parents picked out great how reassuring it must've been to have this place. i went to oneida and talked to joe and bought my teapot at macy's herald square, i might have thought about fornicating utopians, but now when i watch the steam rise from the yellow spell, i like to pretend i am seeing people breathe. [applause] thank you. thank you. [applause] thanks. [applause] >> if you have any questions, raise your hand and i will be glad to give it a whirl trying to answer it. >> your obvious love with american history, it seems uncommon especially among young people. i'm wondering if you have any ideas about what might be more inspiring to take the kind of interest that you do in american history. >> well, okay. i am not as youn

kosovo 1999, 10 and a half thousand killed. 850,000 refugees. western nations intervened directly.nd then in bosnia between '92 and '95, around the same, 100,000 killed and 1 million refugees, again, western nations intervened directly. but right now there seems no appetite for that, shep, on the part of western nations acting in syria, despite the fact that the death toll there increased again today with opposition activists saying that syrian airplanes carried out air strikes in the northern city of rakar. killing something like 39 syrian civilians, shep? >> shepard: jonathan hunt at the united nations and, note, rand paul back on the senate floor. the late president of venezuela called president george w. bush the devil, accused the united states of giving him cancer. but, apparently that's not going to stop our state department from sending a delegates to his funeral. a live report from caracas coming up. a grim diagnosis for the former mary tyler moore star valerie harper. doctors say she has only months to live. we will hear what she has to say about that just ahead. textile

and president clinton then after that we went to kosovo as well, where ethnic cleansing was taking placeregret was we didn't go to rah juan d.a. i wish we could go every place in the world but there are places you can't go because there's not a ready solution to it. as much as i want to help out in the congo, for example. but in syria, it is very clear that genocide and massacres and gang rapes and torture. the dade is ambassador told me a story, and maybe i shouldn't repeat it, but the men coming into assad's home shot and killed his three daughters because he knew what was going to happen to them. you know, that's horrific thing to think of. and so, this is going on all over, all the time in syria. i'm pleased secretary kerry seems to be making moves in the right direction but some of the stuff is so -- i mean, we are gonna give them a couple hundred thousand mres, meals ready to eat. you no what we found out? the expiration of those meals, ready to eat, is june. i'm not making that up. i think we could tip the balance here and i think assad is losing and i think he will lose, but i al

when bill clinton was contemplating action in kosovo, suddenly it got big again. when the republican is president, it vanishes. and it will vanish again when there is any sense of a threat. so for example, there were a lot of people cheering ron paul on like rush limbaugh, because he was jabbing the president. but if it comes time that some american threat and there is a need for a military intervention somewhere, they will be with john mccain and lindsey graham. >> he's not also jabbing the republican establishment at the same time. >> he is. but i think they like the fact that he is mr. washington. i do think what looks like his side of the debate is bigger than it was five years ago, no question about that. but looks are artificially inflated. >> brown: just a couple minutes. i wanted to turn to politics to a sort of cultural marker which is the chief operating it officer of facebook share el sandberg has a new book lean in prompting a discussion of whether women can have it all or whether just best off women can have it all. what do you think? is it a cultural

i went to sierra leone an each of the country's refugees were pouring out of kosovo and addressing their issues of helping said prosecutor of the tribunal had more support for the work she was doing became one of my successors as high commissioner. and went to china to describe as a former president i had better access to the president and senior officials then if i had just been minister or ambassador or an academic the fact that i have the standing i had access. i learned that so i used it the best i could. but i encouraged the chinese government to find those covenants on social rights during my time as high commissioner and they had workshops or they bring chinese experts and would bring outside experts looking and re-education through labor putting people away with no due process i was also briefed on the worst transgressions of the tibetan monks and priests the political dissidents and ever raise these cases and very rarely got satisfaction. so i got encouraging remarks with the chinese for doing on one side but then by far the strongest voice and i learned that the media were comp

he would later serve in the military campaigns in somalia, kosovo and bosnia. >> a scary new developmentn syria's civil war -- the use of chemical weapons. at least 25 people died and dozens more were injured by shelling with chemical rockets" tuesday. the government and the rebels are both accusing each other of using them. the white house says the use of chemical weapons will not be tolerated by the international community. >> i am not going to discuss intelligence but it is important that as fighting in syria intensifies and the regime becomes more desperate that the united states and the international community make very clear to assad that the use of chemical weapons would be totally unacceptable. the president was clear that if assad and those under his command made the mistake of using chemical weapons or failed to meet their obligations to secure them then there will be consequences and they will be held accountable. >> catherine: the top u.s. military commander in europe says nato is making plans for possible military involvement in syria. >> jacqueline: the big weather story is

we went in to bosnia and kosovo for a lot more than 70,000 dead. >> preiraq war and goes to show youuch the game has changed. >> a bunch of stories to get to. >>> gun control now. majority leader harry reid made it clear it would include provision that would expand background checks to private sales and he demanded amendments for assault weapons after the measures left out of the final bill but the proposals in the senate may not be enough for vice president joe biden. in a joint appearance with mayor michael bloomberg in new york city yesterday, biden evoked the memories of a newtown shooting and implored lawmakers to ban assault weapons. >> for all of those who say we shouldn't and can't ban assault weapons, for all of those who say the politics is too hard, how can they say that? when you take a look at those 20 beautiful babies and what happened to them and those six teachers and administrators. tell me how it violates anyone's constitutional right to be limited to a clip that holds ten rounds, instead of 30. >> if you actually read the constitution and supreme court decisions, b

people deployed in afghanistan and another 22,000 deployed in other places with in the middle east, kosovoand other places and more than 91,000 stationed across the globe. it is these very soldiers who suffer the most under these budgetary cuts. we simply do not know when we will be asked to deploy soldiers to fight again but history is very clear on this subject -- we will ask them to deploy. our men and women again will ask to provide security for this nation when it is at risk. we owe it to them and the american people to insure that our soldiers are ready and when we ask them to respond to the next war for the next crisis, the next natural disaster, that is our charge together to ensure they are ready to respond. in my opinion, the greatest threat to our national security is the fiscal uncertainty resulting from the lack of predictability in our budget cycle over the last several years. in addition to the $170 billion in cuts to the army levied by the budget control act of 2011, the combination of the continuing resolution, a short fall in overseas contingency operations funds for afgh

and they say recognition of kosovo is the big thing for us, because it creates a problem between two of our countries. so if you become president, how will you treat this issue? and hen the more people start -- then the more people start commenting, and somebody in the campaign sees i've started a very interesting topic. so what happened next was there was an answer from obama himself on the site, of course, written by an intern. but, basically, somebody was watching this thing and say, okay, this is a topic we need to address. so this was not only the tool to address the people, but it was also the tool the to see what the people want and to deal with the real topics. so this is very unique use, and a lot of these campaigns are based on this david plouffe model. 2009 broadcasted on youtube, green revolution in iran started being organized and broadcasted by the social media. after elections, people gather in the street. they were using social networks to communicate. text messages, facebook, different type of -- [inaudible] was very big network in iran. consequences, one of the prot

people pushed across borders, to significant awards, one in bosnia heard segovia and one in serbia and kosovo. everyk there is possibility for revenge killing, religious conflict between the various segments of the religious population and it's difficult to see the pieces of syria going back together very easily. little bit of an overall general question. what do you see other than the cyber discussions, what is the greatest threat to our nation? my mind, it's the trafficking network that drug is right on and people ride on and potentially weapons of mass destruction. of manyern on the part of our latin american friends that we are withdrawing and there's a lack of interest and are part to continue doing what we're doing. they want this in their lives for the most part. even the ones who don't like us so much, in the drug trade and in trade in general. those are the two issues. >> as we look forward, one of the discussions on the budget and are all the facilities whereary as we look at the danger is coming from in the years ahead? do you believe our efforts will result in a smaller u.s. footp

then we had to send troops to kosovo because of the humanitarian crisis despite the fact fewer peopleing this is a strategic question, syria is important to us because of the strategic play in this region. then what the white house doing isn't immoral, it's just in the long tradition of american foreign policy which is to say syria is important because of israel. it's important because of iran. but at the same time, we're trying to deal with iran directly and one of the other lessons from iraq is if you think there's a threat in the region among muslims, among arabs, then you should deal with that threat. if you want to go after al qaeda, go after al qaeda. don't go after something peripheral. so the strategic question for this administration has always been is syria so well armed that nothing short of full blown war, you can have some air strikes. but to take down the syrian air defenses is full blown war. the real tipping point is what the syrian army has been degraded to the point they can do that. >> we have a lot of other news to cover. the first like of mark sanford's shot at po

supreme court decision from last winter, the court was confronted with a case where a slap on gps kosovo properly named, was put on a car and then it collected information over a 28 day period. the court needs to decide was that a search or not under the fourth amendment? and going into that decision, many people, including myself, thought, well, what's the problem? the car is in a public space. you can see it. and you could follow it using sort of good old-fashioned gumshoe for 28 days, so why should it matter that you're using a gps, how does that transmogrify what could be done by humans which is something out improper under the fourth amendment? inspite of the great, great work of michael, the solicitor general's office who is one of those salt of the earth god sense of the department, we managed to have 10 justices rule against us here that was a laugh line. [laughter] and the first five justices in the majority used the theory, somewhat ironically, of trespass to come up with a limiting principle and found that the mere sticking on of the device on the other side of the car -- unde
