david: ok, so you are in the marine corps.s you rise up, one of your assignments is to go into iraq after the invasion in 2003. so you were in combat. did you expect that you would survive? it was fairly dangerous. gen. kelly: well, it is dangerous. there's a lot of shooting and bombs and whatnot. we are marines. you take that on as a possibility. when we were designing the campaign plan, one of the things we did was to understand the iraqi army was nothing close to us. but we designed a strategy that would minimize the amount of damage to the country and the amount of death to the iraqi army. we went there and our mindset was we were not there to conquer them but to liberate them. we didn't want to kill a lot of them. i mean the army. you always try not to kill the innocent. david: you thought it would have been over in one or two weeks and people would be cheering you? gen. kelly: well, they were cheering us, almost everywhere we went. they came out in huge numbers. but the attack part of it was, in a sense, easy. we knew we

it's fair to say when we look back on the many victories of world war ii, our merchant marine and mariners are overlooked. it is this exact reason why this congress has come together to honor these brave sailors and their legacy. during wartime, they became an auxillary to the navy and vilian vol untakers traded bulk cargo route for transatlantic shipping, hauling vital war cargo for our allies. it's this exact scenario that the merchant mariners found themselves when world war ii broke out. many of these brave men perished at sea. one in 26 never made it home. the merchant mariners who survived world war ii were awith warded veteran status in 1988. f you walk down the mall here, you will find the sale of the merchant mariners which reads war in peace honoring those lost in world war ii. the importance was not lost on our former chief executives. president eisenhower when he was the general of the army stated when final victory is ours there is no more than deserves credit than the merchant marine. president roosevelt stated, the men of our merchant marine have pushed through despite the p

one of the marines served as notification officer. he began his formal scripted speech telling me my husband, lieutenant robert kelly, was dead. on behalf of the president of the united states, he began, the rest was a blur. my head fell into my hand and my brain completely shut down. i heard the remainder of the script as though i was underwater something about the honor, the duty lieutenant kelly had been performing, something about how he had sustained injuries from an ied blast that resulted in loss of his leg and some closing, extend our deepest sympathies and then silence. when he finished reading the speech the notification officer looked up and stared at me. i imagine waiting for a storm to erupt. i felt the gaze of the two marines on me and then looked at the chaplain who had accompanied them. i don't think they were sure what to make of my reaction or lack of reaction. there was nothing on the surface to observe for me. i was in total shock. no bellowing screams or agonized cries, no torn questions for them to field. they wo

that will be certainly a discipline into the royal marines because harry took over from royal marinesarines because harry took over from his grandfather, royal marines because harry took overfrom his grandfather, the duke of edinburgh, but there is no that there have been rumblings of dissatisfaction from the royal marines about his behaviour over the past couple of weeks. there been a number of room marines who have said, this was no way to really behave, to put out that statement without first having cleared it with the queen. i think there will be some members of the royal marines who may think, he does not behave quite the way that was appropriate and now he is stepping back, but also, there have been expressions of support from within the royal marines. people understanding this was his wish and that he wanted to move on and that this was the new life that he and his wife now have chosen. we've talked before about the most difficult of the trickiest parts, of this arrangement, finances and. yes. and that, of course, is really the area that there is really no detail at all. other

or a marine parks the biggest protections oh not for cars west coast. this is the idea to create a marine park came from the need to preserve the fish stocks and to reduce the pressure of fishing particularly industrial fishing. and it's. that's why the park was created and from the shore it goes out around 4 kilometers . commercial fishing is strictly prohibited here but he and his men still come across illegal fishing activities every day these fisherman have been caught before they've already been given a warning. when the men go ashore they'll have to report to the authorities if they went fishing illegally. in leaders of the fishing communities the marine parks are viewed with mixed feelings but more efficient and feel they're being pushed as if they're fishing grounds ali acking to mentone mabo is the deputy president of god on the largest fishing co-operative he's come to terms with the new regulations. sure the park has taken over some of the fishing waters. but what many people don't understand is it doesn't mean the fishing business is over it

but the marines, being marines, they did what they were told, but some soldiers in the marines, some marines that they'd put in place, the fire trenches, the barb wires, the minefields, and cut a path right through the iraqi army facing us. and so, when that happened, military doctrine says exp so we told the marines, "go," and they burst right through the iraqi force and they were heading to kuwait city before we even launched the left hook. david: so ultimately the war is over, you decide to a book about your life called "my american journey." all of a sudden, when you were doing your book tour, people said, "this man should be president of the united states." powell: it had n occurred. e people sand then suddenlyould be presidenthbook came out states." and it caught media attention, and lots of people were coming to me saying, you know, "you need to run." well, i didn't ever think of running, and i had no plar passion then to run, but i felt an obligation to consider the matter, and so i did. you know, i'm a serviceman band i try to do whatthink . to consider the matter, most of t

section of the second marines of the second marine division. he was actually a kid of mexican descent who had lived in los angeles. he had taken up with a japanese family. he had attended japanese language school and was very conversant in japanese. what was remarkable was he would go out on his own and attempt to make contact with japanese soldiers or civilians and talk them into surrendering. and he achieved tremendous feats of actually talking japanese civilians and military personnel into surrendering. i cannot emphasize enough how incredibly -- how much courage it would take to do that to go out on your own , facing the japanese who most american servicemen believed were absolutely notorious that , if you wandered into them, you would be lucky if you were killed immediately. your most likely fate would be tortured before you are killed. the courage of this individual is just astonishing. there was another great story, a japanese-american who was an interpreter, who was with the 27th infantry division. and he kept working to talk to japanes

the marines came in to reinforce the marines already providing security at the embassy along with theurity forces from the government of iraq. what's going to happen next as ryan just said is about 750 soldiers from the 82nd airborne will begin deploying within the next day. they have the rest of the brigade estimated to be following them within the next week. that's normal procedure as well when there's a crisis around the world. the irf from the 82nd airborne begins deploying just in case of any eventuality. going back to your question how dangerous is this, it's very dangerous. these various forces that are representative of various political actors within baghdad have all come outside the embassy. this is not a consolidated group, ryan. it looks like a big group of similar minded people and it is. but they are each beholden to various political figures within the iraqi government. it's somewhat like a national guard for very shia politicians. while they are all considered part of the followers of hezbollah, they are different groups and there to voice their concern. what's interes

in open ocean temperatures over decades they say this warming is already having a major impact on marine life and on the severity of storms cyclons and hurricanes . as our planet warms up due to the greenhouse effect the vast majority of trapped . heat is absorbed by the oceans over 90 percent of it the oceans therefore provide a key buffer that helps keep temperatures on our planet stable but their capacity to absorb heat isn't endless and marine eco systems are suffering organisms like corals that can't flee the higher temperatures simply die back to back bleaching and catastrophic mortality has meant we've lost 50 percent of all corals on the great barrier reef in 2 years and this is meant we've needed entirely new ways to think about how can we fast track both resilience and recovery according to the new study sense 2010 the oceans have absorbed around 2286 tilia jewels of extra heat to compare that's over 400 times the energy used by the entire human race annually. and warmer oceans are having another major impact on our planet's colder regions even a slight rise in water temperatur

there's marin, and did you see what happened there? most of it falls apart before it gets down into the east and south bay. still a possibility for some light rain, but whatever we get is going to be done by sunrise. and even at that, the clouds will have cleared out by the late morning on saturday. and if you look at the totals, it's maybe a tenth of an inch of rain up north and very little elsewhere as you go farther south. now that's important because if you look at the seven-day forecast, you'd just see rain on saturday, but not really because now we know that rain, what little we get is done by the time you want to get outside and enjoy saturday. in fact most of the clouds will be gone too. but the ground might be a little damp early saturday morning. and that's it. no other real significant rain chances after that. mary will have much more on this tomorrow morning from 3:30 to 7:00. >> 65 for a high tomorrow, wow. >> we hit 68 today in santa rosa! >> crazy, all right darren, thank you. >>> still to come, the big change that has s
