of gaddafi who surely has to go and not call for the ouster of ayatollah khamenei and mark mahmoud ahmadinejad. gaddafi is a dictator who is horrible to his own people but doesn't pose any where near the threat that iran poses. gaddafi is basically a neutered foreign leader. he does terrible things to his own people all of which are unacceptable but the risk he presents to the united states is nothing like the risk that a sawed --assad presents or mahmoud ahmadinejad freeze and. if we are calling for regime changes in certain places why not remove some of the most unfriendly dictators and not just the ones that are partially friendly or someone neutered yet removed without taking advantage of that movement to drive on a -- out of power those who are truly dangerous to us. what is missing is a clear vision of what our foreign policy should be. it would be very simple to state what our foreign policy should be. we should support freedom movements all over the world. we should support it with everything we could possibly think of short of military intervention. we should militarily intervene when

other world leaders like the president of iran, mahmoud ahmadinejad, there are not personal sanctions against him. that gives you an indication of how personal they are in symbolism. the u.s. has set to president assad without you need to really reform. we want the violence to stop. this is the first time the obama administration has linked the violent protests directly to the government of president assad. it is the ultimatum to really reform. it is not known if he is calling for them to resign. -- if the administration is calling for him to resign. >> they are really laying down a marker. >> yes, this is one of several of events this week linked to u.s. policy in the middle east. the most important is here in washington when president obama makes that speech about the middle east. what he will say is that he will put forward clear ideas, new ideas. it all comes in the wake of the arabs spring, the uprising across the middle east. it is president obama try to take the emphasis from those changes and directing that to the peace process between israel and the palestinians. the situatio

. >> the next bad guy to fall in the middle east will be mahmoud ahmadinejad in iran from the supreme leader who is sending out reports to his and having members of parliament attack him for buying votes in the 2009 election. chris: i hear cheers. let's talk about medicare a little bit. the joe baden working group on the deficit and raising the debt ceiling started talking about the m word this week and watch to see how the white house behaves on this now that it is such a great political issue for them. will any care of -- will any kind of medicare cut backs to providers or beneficiaries be on the table if taxes are not on the table. >> bob gates interesting speech this week in the q&a afterwards he said it is interesting that our record for predicting where the u.s. will need forces since vietnam has perfect. we have never once gotten it right from grenada to the balkans to the first gulf war we didn't know ahead of time what was happening. chris: great public servant by the way. i heard him speak at the reagan gala and going out with flying colors. >> the war on the american presid

raised eyebrows members of the tory courts i have spoken several times with iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad who they call a peace loving leader were these publicly praised turkish officials and even traveled to the country last year visiting injured activists following that is really very much on the gaza flotilla. very often overseas demonstrations against israel have turned violent from london and montreal to the middle east a bloody and bruising backlash has transpired critics have classified jews as extremists and israel supporters deem them as traitors even here in new york city. where the. rabbi weiss is familiar with the dangers that surround notorious. people who live through this it is very it's not an easy life devoted to their feet even if it means facing contempt every step of the way. r.t. new york so this world report i want to talk about and it's very hard to norm talk about this group i know that there are some people who say that there are extremists that the radical and criticize them for you know having met with ahmadinejad do you think that having met with. makes them ex

in the southwestern city of done one person was killed at least twenty injured in the blast mahmoud ahmadinejad was unhurt the president was expected to make a speech marking the opening of the refinery officials think a gas leak may of course the explosion. the devastating tornado that hit the u.s. city of joplin on sunday has left one hundred sixteen people dead more than four hundred injured thousands of homes and schools churches and businesses were all destroyed full casts say severe weather could probably persist and may reach the east coast by the end of the week almost five hundred people have died in u.s. storms and tornadoes this year. after spending six months in space they've finally come back home and american and italian and a russian cosmonaut have landed safely in kazakhstan however the intrepid voyagers did not come back alone as part of their experiments on the international space station they tested the impact of albeit on flies and scientists hope their work will help to understand how conditions in space affect a living organism parties to battle has been following the bush

perhaps and militants that they have to deal with but who's going to be the next number line mahmoud ahmadinejad has been kind of on deck for a while and so i think bill bill tried to teach him up but i mean he's he's he's having some real difficulty with the supreme leader in iran right now and there's a lot of questions of whether he really has any future in the iranian government so clearly he'll be another villain there's also or are a lot of he who is the leader of our. region peninsula in yemen who as an american has a special amount of you know significance to especially homegrown terrorists and there's a lot of fear there so i think one of those two guys will be clear i do agree with ed iran the islamic republic of iran is definitely the next rising threat i'm not sure i would say you know it's awkward in the job himself but the ayatollah is regime is certainly going to take a prominent role i think in the next national security debates and also the situation without walking i think you know it's a major threat to the u.s. because he's hitting us right here at home and he's using us citi

. >>> and then mahmoud ahmadinejad is boycotting his duties in what is seen with a power struggle withntry's spy chief. he has not been seen at his office for eight days, missing two cabinet meetings and canceling a trip to a holy city. >>> and then in the juarez area, they found grenades and bullet proof vests, all found at a home in a residential neighborhood. >>> in poe lupd, thousands of jimi hendrix fans came together in hopes of breaking a record. and one group won the title two years ago, and this year on the record, more than 700 players short. >>> and then a live look at vatican city where the crowds of the faithful continue to lineup. the late pope was beatified before many this morning. father robert barron is the founder of "word on fire," and george waggle, nbc analysts. father, tell me the name where you are because i know i just misspoke. >> it was an extraordinary moment with the declaration of beatification was made and the wave of joe swept through the enormous crowd. you could not help but be moved by that. it was unforgettable. what struck me was it was much than a

americans could wake up to find themselves at war with iran because a man named most recent or mahmoud ahmadinejad both foreigners no american ever voted for decided to expand a religious war in which no genuine u.s. interest is at stake. as i noted, our participation in such a war would produce iran-sponsored terrorism in america and just might temporarily unite the entire muslim community, 1.4 billion people if you are counting in a jihad against the united states. america's bipartisan governing elite then with the support of the media and the academy have brought the united states face for face at war every turn, war over oil, wars over religious conflicts in which no genuine u.s. interest is at risk and wars to impose secular democracy on peoples who will fight it to the death. the situation is surely the antithesis of what the founders intended when they designed a system meant to limit the chance of arbitrary government that leads inevitably to tyranny the founders knew and the americans are learning that there's a few better definitions of tyranny one finds a nation repeatedly led into wars

the way assad and mahmoud ahmadinejad directly impact the united states and helping to americans getkilled in iraq. the second decision could have been that because the to ship the location being in the middle east because the middle east such a tinderbox and because gadhafi was in teaching in such a brutal action that could end up encouraging others to do the same thing it was necessary for the united states to intervene but we should intervene for the purpose of removing him and not intervene in this totally contradictory policy that makes it very hard for people to follow or for people to figure out what are we going to do next? this is the failure of lack of vision, lack of being willing to set a goal people have to follow and this is the great, the greatness of ronald reagan because this was clear, he could articulate it. sometimes you can't always achieved every goal that you want but when you state people know what to rally enough. they know how to agree and disagree with you come in and we are going to face many of these questions in the next five or six or ten years because

. >>> today, mahmoud ahmadinejad is declaring three days of mourning for 15 people killed during a day protests. israeli troops fired on those throwing rocks as they tried to breach israel's banks with other countries. this year's demonstrations were bolder than years past due to recent anti-goff government protests sweeping the middle east. >>> investigators are reportedly searching for two former new york -- two new york city police officers as possible suspects in the killings on long i hand. one officer was forced to resign in the 1990s after a six abuse scandal with prostitutes. the other one, he allegedly assaulted a prostitutes. >>> well, investigators in france may be a step closer now towards solving the -- solving the mystery of an air france disaster almost two years ago. this morning, they found the cockpit voice recordings on the jet that crashed from regrow day jannero to pair -- reyes day jannero toor -- dash r imo to paris. >>> the report of an engine fire forced an american airlines flight to make an emergency landing in ar cab saw. but airport officials say no fire wa

when i look at mahmoud ahmadinejad, i'm talking about someone that is the head of a country that is activelyporting and supplying people that are killing our soldiers, our sailors, our airmen and marines. if you want to argue with me about that, i'd be happy to take touted plays where i've been in my life, either iraq or afghanistan, and show thaw. i'm talking about people actively working against our country. i'm talking about hugo chavez, who has a relationship and is bringing in support from iran into his country. so i think that, you know, this is not about, you know, giving constitutional rights to people that are truly, almost declared enemies of the united states of america. and if we continue down this road of political correctness, if we continue down not wanting to face these enemies and understanding that, you know, this thing cannot be a one-way street, it's going to lead on our own cultural suicide. if we don't want to respect us, if they don't want the open dialogue with us, then why is it incouple bent upon me to sacrifice my pride in my country just to allow them toy platform

[laughter] >> mahmoud ahmadinejad cit the work you do. james harmon, my former -- thank you for the work you do. james harmon, my former colleague. thank you for being here. it is always good when you walk up to give a speech and he says do not screw this up. my good friend, but mcfarland, i am honored to see you, the national security adviser for ronald reagan. i see paul bremer, the former ambassador. i do not know but if you know my wife worked with you for quite awhile. thank you for sending her back in one piece. i thought i would start today, by talking a little bit about where we are. before i talk about where we are, i want to talk about where we came from. 10 years ago, on the date of 9/11, the intelligence community was very different than it is today -- very different. it had suffered huge losses in the 1990's. in some places of the world we have no stations, no coverage whatsoever. we closed down shop in a lot of places. they used the intelligence community as the opportunity for the peace dividend, and the fall of the city --

he calls on mahmoud ahmadinejad to stop anti-semitic behavior among his people. his remarks last about 15 minutes. >> as i look out, i see more than 10,000 people young and old who have come to washington from around the country not for personal enrichment or gain, not out of concern for your industries or businesses, but out of a deep affection for a fellow democracy, israel. [cheers and applause] we are all here because we know that america is at its best when it stands with allies that share our values. [applause] like many of you, i am the descendent of immigrants to america. my grandparents came to this country nearly a century ago from russia. they passed through new york harbor, passed by the statue of liberty on the way to a better, freer life. my grandmother was widowed at a young age, and she eventually made her home in a predominantly african-american section of my hometown of richmond. she raised my father and my uncle in a tiny apartment above a grocery store that she owned. through hard work, perseverence, and faith, the very values on which america
