it affects soldiers who are deployed today to kuwait or afghanistan, changing the number of days that you can get as a reward for extended periods of service. and you can have a negative impact of over three or four weeks in some cases because it's new policy. so i am -- i understand the department is perfectly allowed to make policy changes. but i'm very concerned it looks like there is no provision for grandfathering those that are overseas now. and we have a part of a brigade combat team of the famous red bulls out of minnesota and surrounding states that are over in kuwait right now. and there is a lot of confusion about what the policy's going to be. i think it's important that we keep faith, that we not change things around during the middle of a deployment. so we don't have our soldiers sitting over there wondering, and their families wondering what this policy is going to be. so i have a question for you, mr. secretary. will you grandfather this new policy so that the soldiers are deployed now, get what they thought they were going to get when they deployed. and this applies t

that is downplayed a lot in western media but and that helps downplay the role that saudi arabia kuwait another great democracies by the way in the middle east during the arab spring that the role that they're playing there and again it seems to me it's a domino thing it's all about iran it has nothing to do about.

note that saddam hussein's invasion of kuwait took place after the ussr was gravely weakened and hadeased to be iraq's protector. the soviet collapse has also aggravated the single most awesome threat of modern times. the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. these weapons and the ability to develop and deliver them are today acquired by middle income countries with modest populations, such as iraq, iran, libya and syria. required sometimes from other powers like china and north korea, but most ominously by a former soviet arsenal or unemployed scientists or from organized criminal rings, all by way of a growing international black market. according to stephen hadley, formerly president bush's assistant secretary for international security policy, and i quote, by the end of the decade, we could see over 20 countries with ballistic missiles. nine with nuclear weapons, ten with biological weapons and up to 30 with chemical weapons. according to other official united states sources, all of northeast asia, southeast asia, much of the pacific and most of russia could soon be threa

delegates will discuss a motion drafted by turkey and the gulf states of saudi arabia, qatar, and kuwait. given their past record of condemnation, expect a similar message. an armored in the division had entered the besieged city of homes. -- homs. a wounded photographer paul conroy has escaped just in time. >> the pounding of the city by syrian artillery continues. these are some of the latest pictures of the shelling. it's impossible to verify precisely when they were taken. this coincides with news that at least one of the wounded journalists trapped in the city is now safely out of syria. he is the british photographer paul conroy, working for the sunday times. last week he describes his own ordeal in syria. >> i was wounded in a rocket attack yesterday with wounds to my leg. any assistance that we can get, government agencies would be welcome. >> now he is safe. but the whereabouts of french journalists edith bouvier remain much less clear. the reporter was seriously wounded. five days ago spoke of needing an urgent operation. they survived syrian government attacks which killed the

major decisions and the decision making process of the regime, whether it was the decision to invade kuwait on august 2, 1990, or the decision to lie to the international community or deceive the international community about the absence of wmd and so on which, of course, tragically or one of the things that tragically led to the invasion of iraq in 2003. the last thing i'll ask about, and there are many questions that, you know, fascinating questions that come to mind after reading the book, has to do with to what extent was this regime based on a familial system, right? and to what extent was it really based on party and a kind of more institutional system. and that's something that, you know, is curious and something that i kind of wanted to learn more about after i read it. again, a remark remarkable book. i think it'll become the book, the first source on iraq under saddam hussein, so congratulations, and it's a wonderful occasion to be celebrating this publication. >> thank you very much for these comments. let me just deal with the two, three questions you have raised. corruption exi

i think there are more questions to come to kuwait and departments about them moving forward for theas this one. those questions i am willing to ask is that process comes forward. i would be supportive of this and i would be interested to hear what my colleagues think. supervisor kim: i want to thank the department and the department of emergency management for the incredible work i know you have put into this. this is not a time line that you would have wanted to see the city go through. city go through. that was a time when you have to

similar to the fed, i don't think it would be erratically different things at this point of time we're kuwait aware of the costs and risks. it's one of the reasons for the overall discussion. it's true they reduce what savers get on their saving. they also hold corporate stocks and a variety of other opportunities. and those dependent on the strength of the economy. so we're helping to improve the returns to savers. part of the reason for the policy to move them from positions slightly more into riskier positions to help promote strengthening the economy. we don't want to go too far. we are going to watch out for problems and to try to address them. and i've been in many conversations with investment companies, insurance companies, so on. when you're this far away from full enemployment, it's not obvious that the investments being made tr the right investments. there's not enough demand for product. i guess the last comment i would make, well, you asked me before about deficits. i understand the concern. i think the effects of fed policy independent of the other factors is modest. voechly the

that osama bin laden was wealthy and that the united states had worked with kosovo and somalia and kuwait and the old question what did we do to deserve that, it came to many of us absurd to even ask. we asked is it sane to go after someone in a time of war in the name of peace. all of americans are going to disagree with the the particular administrations. i think most of us pretty much had an idea of prosperity, cl glibness, effectiveness with the economy we were all upset pro or con about florida, but whatever we think about, there will be -- 9/11 will be a dividing line, for those who are critical of the president, now we're cowboys and unilateral, if you support the president and their reaction to 9/11, you will think that, no, there was a series of towers, bombings in yemen and -- it created a dangerous complacency and we had lost the classical idea that the greeks would call deterrence and now we're slowly remaining it as bitter and brutal as that can be, whatever your political views, i think 911 then will turn out to be just as important as shiloh. i want to conclude just by read

italy all called their ambassadors home the united arab emirates bahrain saudi arabia oman qatar and kuwait did the same it's all aimed at putting pressure on the assad regime and while they want president assad to step down russia and china refuse to choose sides are going to pour in i joined us just a short while ago from new york and gave me the latest on the conflict after getting heavy criticism for not backing the resolution for assad to step down i asked her just why isn't russia and china caving into pressure from the international community. the reason there's many reasons for it liz but one of the many reasons is the fact that russia and china will not support any draft resolution or international push towards regime change both countries have stated over and over again that the security council should not be used as a tool to overthrow governments of solver and states and because draft resolution on syria was vetoed and there was no consensus reached on saturday we did see russia's foreign minister and head of russia's foreign intelligence service visit damascus on tuesday to per
