mr obama instead of mr bush and do revealing my political bias. thanks so much being with us appreciate it and great work my pleasure as president obama said in his statement last night bin laden was not a muslim leader he was a mass murderer of muslims indeed al qaeda has slaughtered scores of muslims in many countries including our own so his demise should be welcomed by all who believe in peace and human dignity and of quote let's keep in mind the president's words and begin healing the moon's american crazies have inflicted on muslim communities across our nation. so i was some of that long is dead now does this mean yes it is a victory in some sense it will boost the morale of soldiers in combat around the world may provide some solace to people who have lost loved ones on nine eleven and it will certainly boost president obama's reelection chances in two thousand and twelve i won't argue there is some reason to celebrate america today we did get it bin laden is officially dead and his myth is under strain and taking a step back from the party from the moment and reflecting on the costs to our nation of george bush's wars and the dangers sti

mr. president, i remember some with president bush remained pending even less than that. last december after the nomination had already been delayed for over four months without any explanation, i came to the floor and i asked unanimous consent that at a time to be determined by the majority and minority leaders, the senate consent to a time agreement for debate and a vote on the cole nomination. courage to step forward, not hide behind a filibuster to vote yes or vote no on this critical national security position. republicans objected to every -- to that request in december. five months later, they still refuse to agree to a time to debate and vote on the nomination. the senate ought to vote. the american people expect us to vote. everybody knows the security of this country is threatened. everybody knows we should stand up and vote. jim cole served as a career prosecutor at the justice department for a dozen years under both a republican and democratic president. he has a well-deserved reputation for fairness and integrity and especially toughness. he has demonstrated

the president and mr. bushlways say we're not at war with islam, there is a significant part of the islamic world that is at war with us and that will continue and probably be reinvigorated by the death of osama bin laden. host: who could replace osama bin laden? guest: initially, his deputy, al-zawahiri. i do not think al-zawahiri will be the permanent commander. he is an abrasive man in the stock get away with the saudis very well. the talk about a libyan who has been a prominent -- prominent in the religious discussions of al qaeda. the al qaeda command in the european peninsula is a very senior person, former secretary to osama bin laden. those are two candidates. al qaeda puts an enormous amount of time in planning succession. this is not something they wanted to happen, but it is something that will prepare for for a long time. host: how do we know that? guest: bin laden has said this will be a generational war. we have seen them -- we killed a number twos and number threes all over the world. this someti

mr. president, for your kind words. i want to thank president bush for first asking me to take this position, and you, mr. president, for inviting me to stay on and on and on. [laughter] i also thank my wife, becky, for 44 years of extraordinary patience, but especially the last four and a half years of patience. every single day i've been secretary, our military has been engaged in two major wars and multiple other missions. it's been the greatest honor of my life to serve and to lead our men and women in uniform and our defense civilians. they are the best america has to offer. i will continue to give my all to them and to the president right through june 30th because obviously there is much left to do. my highest priority from my first day in office has been to do everything i could for our uniformed men and women in harm's way, to help them accomplish their mission, to come home safely, and if wounded, to get them the best possible care from battlefield to home front. i've done my best to care for them as though they were my own sons and daughter

president bush and president obama talk a little bit about us. well i think definitely somebody whose opinion on this is very valuable is mr gone old rumsfeld he was being interviewed on sky news and he said one thing about obama is that he was elected on the promise of being everything george bush wasn't that's what he campaigned on the basis of he said however since obama became the president he has kept all of bush's policies whether it's the defense secretary robert gates or anything else but me personally i would disagree with mr rumsfeld and say he's extended further than george bush has when saddam or bay is still open george bush did go on pakistan but not to the extent that obama has done george bush did not bomb yemen obama has bombed yemen george bush did not bomb libya obama has been gloopy or you know this is an extension of the george bush policy in my view and that was lowkey musician poet playwright and local activists. well there are so many who believe these strong words may not translate into action and even if they do it's unclear who the winners and losers will be many of the refs the president spoke about randeep and is actua

mr. cheney would be saying? and i don't think that president bush would have put out any kind of a message. you know, i was really captivated by some of the things that were happening in times square. this was pretty interesting. well, the president was talking about coming together, which i think the people really did. here he is last night talking about that. >> the cause of securing our country is not complete, but tonight we are once again reminded that america can do whatever we set our mind to. that is the story of our history. whether it's the pursuit of prosperity for our people or the struggle for equality for all of our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place. let us remember that we docan d these things not just because of wealth or power but because of who we are, one nation under god indivisible with liberty and justice for all. >> republicans are doing everything they can to save bush's legacy. newt gingrich spun it like this. i commend both president george w. bush who led the campaign against our enemies
