>> no, mccain push through bills that very documents.w a lot, but we don't know the key documents that look to lead off this thing. and he passed bills that the bidding of the pentagon. in the documents are still buried. and nobody can figure him out. i really do think he is strange things running around in his head. i do think a change from the way he lived and how poor a pilot he was and how different he was from his father in grandfather and now he never lived up to them if so forth. and i'm not a scientist or a psychologist, but i think there are somehow that's running around in his head. [inaudible] >> yes, he did. [inaudible] >> okay. but the real story though is yes, that's a very -- that's a very important story. that's a very important story, the pow story. but the larger picture is if we're going to continue to go to war unnecessarily, to build the economy, look at what happened in iraq. i will probably end a cost in his $2 trillion because of the medicare and all the other expenses. it hurt our economy. it hurt our way of life

john mccain and barack obama agreed on one thing. we don't need this plane. maybe the last thing they will agree on. obama himself made a threat to veto any defense bill that included it. this was unprecedented not only in his presidency but never as far as we can tell. there had never been a veto targeted on one specific system like this. then the administration across the country twisting arms of democrats who were leaning to vote for the plane to get them to vote against and so this is the surprise. although they lost a didn't lose money on the deal because even as they reduce the f-22 by $4 billion they increased the f 35. by $4 billion. secretary of defense gates made a statement that i have taken good -- [inaudible] >> the f 35 not only was increased by $4 billion but it had jobs and companies in many of the same states and districts so they were replacing a 35 spending for f-22 spending. in a sense it was the exception that proves the rule. they couldn't get it done without throwing a bone to the military-industrial complex. $4 billion bohn at that. th

john mccain and barack obama finally agreed on one thing. we didn't need this plan. maybe the last thing they would agree on for all i know. and then obama himself made a threat to veto any defense bill that included the f-22 and this was unprecedented not only in his presidency but ever as far as we can tell there had never been a veto targeted on one specific system like this. and then the administration fanned out across the country twisting arms of democrats who were leaning to vote for the plan to get them to vote against. although they lost they didn't lose any money in the deal because even as they reduce the f-22 by $4 billion, the increased the effort 35, another lockheed martin plan by $4 billion secretary defense gates made the statement i've taken -- >> [inaudible] >> call to 15, please. >> the f 35 was only increased by $4 billion, but it had jobs in companies in the same states and districts, so easily they were replacing the at 35 spending for the f-22, so in a sense it was the exception that proves the rule they couldn't get it done without throwing a

mccain le pidiÓ a la secretaria de seguridad interna de los ee.uu.uerdo puede empezarse a conversar sobre una reforma. y veo eso como algo bueno. nosotros hemos invertido e invertido; no sÉ que mÁs quieren en esa frontera; quizÁs, piraÑas en el rÍo grande y que le pongamos electricidad... no sÉ que mÁs quieren, pero estamos dispuestos porque hay un pueblo que estÁ sufriendo mucho y nosotros queremos que ellos salgan a la luz del dÍa y puedan vivir en este paÍs libremente y que puedan contribuir; que el miedo y el terror a la deportaciÓn, la separaciÓn y destruccion de sus familias en el cual viven desaparezca. yo estoy dispuesto a hablar con cualquiera. josÉ, para mÍ es un buen paso porque Él estÁ iniciando un nuevo diÁlogo y conversaciÓn. >>estoy de acuerdo con usted. es importante porque, hasta ahora, los republicanos mÁs recalcitrantes han utilizado como pretexto que no pueden ni hablar de una reforma migratoria hasta que se cierre a frontera. bueno, ¡pero quÉ quiere decir "cerrar la frontera"! >>creo que tener la conversaciÓn y decir: si suceden

>>>periodista: cuando se le pregunta qué determinará si es segura, ahora mccain dice estar dispueso pararía hablar de una reforma, y esto último sorprendió a muchos, porque mccain como autor original de una reforma abandonó su postura de medidas solo de seguridad, y hace semanas se reunió con obama y la inmigración tocó esta charla. >>> las elecciones son en el 2012 y todo el mundo se posiociona y todos saben que necesitan del voto latino. >>>periodista: pero en la cámara baja el panorama es diferente, más de uno dijo que una reforma migratoria es imposible. >>> que se pueda discutir una reforma? >>> como veo las cosas lo más importante ahora son los problemas fiscales. >>> en una declaración a telemundo el presidente del comité judicial dijo que es inútil hablar de esto mientras no se asegure la frontera, porque esos tipos de legislaaciones promueven la inmigración ilegal. >>>josé díaz balart: en colorado un comité del senado aprobó la propuesta 126 que beneficiara a los estudiantes indocumentados cobrandole matriculas bajas, pero los republicanos podrían rechazar la medida. y está sobr

senator mccain, should we have seen this coming? >> i think so.should have seen this coming when the egyptian government failed to move forward with a process of democratization. the last election was particularly flawed. by the way, madeleine albright, the head of n.d.i., called for observers. russ feingold and i had a resolution in support of human rights in egypt. so a lot of this should have been seen. this administration and the liberal left in america viewed bush's "democracy" efforts as a way or an excuse to go to war. when president obama refused to support the people in the streets of tehran, when a young woman bled to death and that was a scene seen by the world and this administration did nothing, that sent a very bad signal to all of these dictatorships. >> schieffer: what should we have done? you're not saying we should have gone to war. >> no, but we should have spoken up for them, just as ronald reagan spoke up for the people behind the iron curtain, just as throughout our history we have had a fundamental belief and commitment that

a year later john mccain won the party's nomination. >> ready for mccain, cross out palin. >> reporterlater it's mccain's former running mate who is getting a lot of attention at c-pac. >> sarah palin has several of my pins. >> reporter: sarah palin turned down her invitation, citing scheduling conflicts. heidi lasher is pulling for palin to run in 2012. >> for me i'm really upset. i would love for her to be here. but i know she's got a lot going. >> reporter: conservatives are far from united on a favorite but do agree on one thing. >> a second term of obama would be disastrous for our country. >> reporter: they're determined to win back the white house in 2012. joel brown, cbs news, washington. >>> this morning on "the early show," actress jennifer aniston. i'm betty nguyen. this is the "cbs morning news." pretty unpredictable. e from knowing when my next job will be to what i'll actually be doing. so in the rest of my life i like control. especially in my finances. that's why i have slate with blueprint. i can make a plan to pay off everyday things and avoid interest, or pay down my

they confuse what countries exactly they're talking about commenting on democracy in belarus john mccain for some reason called it lease or any air i also want to thank the president with the way no group of our members of congress visited with her yesterday and choose a great leader and we also had the opportunity meet with members of the opposition many of whom have a low countrymen residing in prison have been beaten and tortured hard about what. we had cancer meeting during the same conference the former presidential candidate down one of the most influential republican senators referred to russia as the soviet union we all know that our missile defense rather modest over a year or more. we are proceeding with it because of the threat we face from iran and not from the soviet union and that senator mccain is gaffes don't stop there i'm afraid that it's a very hard struggle particularly given the situation on the iraq pakistan border probably only in mccain's mind did pakistan share a border with iraq but he's not the only u.s. politician who is quick to share their expertise in world

but senator mccain is gaffes don't stop there i'm afraid that it's a very hard struggle. given the situation on the iraq pakistan border probably only in mccain's mind did pakistan share a border with iraq but he's not the only u.s. politician who is quick to share their expertise in world affairs without checking some facts george w. bush won our prize in south on having pushed democracy in egypt during his presidency thought africa was a nation africa's a nation or suffers from the incredible disease the winner of hearts and minds of millions of americans sarah pailin to thought africa was a country some two years ago but now nothing seems to stop her from handing out advice on how to deal with egypt this is pale and has further contributed to her credibility in foreign affairs when commenting on the u.s. stance with regards to north korea obviously got to stand with our north korean allies were bound to create by trees are worried about by well the paradox is is that politicians who really know nothing about these things have to appear to know something they have to sp

senator mccain, welcome. >> thank you. >> i want to ask you about events about libya. the president has made it clear that he wants gadhafi to go. his ambassador to the united nations, susan rice, speaking out through a vote in the security council, in favor of sanctions against libya. imposing an arms embargo, urging member countries to freeze assets of the gadhafi family. this is what ambassador rice said during that debate. >> when a leader's only means of staying in power is to use mass violence against its own people, he has lost the legitimacy to rule. and needs to do what is right for his country by leaving now. >> senator, the question is, how is that achieved? >> well first of all, i agree with that statement. but i would also like to point out that we could impose and could have imposed a no-fly zone. they would have stopped flying, if that had been imposed. they're using air power and helicopters to continue these massacres. we should recognize a provisional government somewhere in eastern libya, perhaps benghazi. we should make it clear that we will provide

senator mccain. >> i thank you, mr. chairman. as is well known, i'm deeply concerned about this issue of complete u.s. withdrawal. austin, i think -- general austin, i think that we would agree the battle of fallujah was one kind of counterinsurgency that could even be compared to the battle of wei, house to house, kind of high casualty, high-spencety conflict. -- high-intensity conflict. we fast forward to the battle of sadr city which made extensive use of technological abilities we've developed over the intervening time. in the absence of the united states, would the iraqis have the kind of capability that was vital in winning the battle of sadr city? >> senator, certainly not. they would have to develop that type of capability over time. the capability that i believe that you're referring to is the capability to employ, acquire targets and employ precision fires that limit collateral damage. >> in the words of general petraeus, we made 'em take a knee, right? >> absolutely, senator. >> and without the u.s. presence there, it

. >> thank you, senator mccain. madam secretary, as we discussed the other day, we did announce at our organization meeting the other morning that border security is one of our priorities. we're going to start a series of hearings, in march. the point that senator mccain raises is an important one which is whether we can find a metric. a set of standards we can agree on that -- where we can say we're doing -- well, we're doing as much as we all agree together we can do. to secure our border. and that will not only achieve security. it may also here in a broader context, enable us to deal with the possibility of comprehensive immigration reform which i know you're also interested in. >> very good. >> thank you. >> senator jun, senator tester, and senator portman. >> thank you, mr. chairman. madam secretary, nice to meet you earlier and welcome to our hearing. you have been watching what's going on in my home state of wisconsin in terms of public sector employees? >> impression i've seen a few clips. >> does that give

john mccain always said if hi hisace i would be president right now. and he is a normal guy. and so someone like that, mitch daniels, governor of indiana and mitt romney, for my money those are-- there are not a lot of plausible candidates. maybe four, maybe five. >> lehrer: four or five plausible candidates, mark? >> well, jim, i don't know. i will defer to david when it comes to guys on the plaus ability of republican dan the candidates. the reality of the cpac meeting is that there were 11,000 people there at the hotel, registered for this conference. there were constituency in surgeon of the candidate. there is-- usually it is a candidate, they want to beat barack obama but they don't have anybody. what impressed me the most of all, what they did not discuss, as the world was dominated and riveted on what was going on in egypt, they didn't even address it in their speeches. >> why do you think that is. >> i think it is a lack of self-confidence. a sure footed innocence. they didn't know what they wanted to say. they weren't sure, the only one who was really critical that

>> yeah, i think they have some power but they were not for john mccain. not by a long shot. and they were ambivalent about george w. bush by the second time. but the party has changed. and the party has moved a little in their direction. so the libertarian, we have got to repeal health care that really has become a magnifying pog we are in the party. and they do speak to that. so they are sort of on the vanguard of the economic edge. they have to decide do we want somebody who we love or do we want somebody who can win. and right now they want/ -- >> what about in the house this week where there was a little bit av that split over a couple of issues where some tea party people said no, no, we want bigger cuts than the leadership wanted and whatever. is that representative of what is going to happen in other areas as well, do you think. >> the leadership and people like paul ryan are plenty conservative. but they say cutting the middle of a year is problematic. and a lot of the freshman said we are going to cut 85, or cut 100 billion or whatever it is going to be, we're going

so it is a shame that senator kennedy has passed away and it is a shame that so has senator mccain. [laughter] neither of those individuals are still there. but we should resurrect the proposals they had in terms of family immigration. it has created huge problems. the backlog of family immigration has contributed to undocumented immigration, family separation. it is counter to the family values that the nation counts. to me, it is a no-brainer clear the backlog. -- the nation touts. >> cindy, in advising the immigration rights committee, for advising them on cir, who needs to be heard, which forces need to be lifted up? >> i could take professor hing's sarcastic way of looking at it -- just kidding. [laughter] i hope my other congressional colleagues do not kill me about sang this but i think it is important to keep your congressional office into an with what is important to you. i could not agree more with the two speakers. i think you have to be an optimist to be working on this issue, on this job, but i am with prof. hang in that we are scared with the flip side is. right now we

quote here well maybe it will be the last quote for today but i have lots of quotes some for john mccain said that couple of days ago for two years mostly out of deference to russia defensive arms sales have not been authorized for georgia this has to change says mccain at a minimal we should provide georgia with early warning radars and other basic capabilities to strengthen its defenses what's collective nato has approach to possible every arming of georgia well of course i don't speak for the us government and i had no idea you said if you. were seriously nato doesn't sell weapons we don't sell weapons to anybody individual nations to that and it's a national decisions to take as far as i'm aware georgia there's no arms embargo. on georgia but the united states makes its own decisions all allies make their own decisions. and they have to do this but from an organizational point of view we have no view on this issue. and you don't influence such things so for example if one of the nato candidates interesting. maybe i didn't know the nato charter but if one of the nato members wants to
