mrs. robinson. that was the time of that movie, and all that. that was not a major factor, i can assure you, mrs. robinson. >> here's a picture of your family today. >> oh, yes. the boys have grown up. my oldest son is engaged to a lovely young woman, alexandra. my dad - my husband, rather - with the glasses, and i'm the short one. >> and what are those three boys doing now? >> they're all working. they're all bright. they're well educated. they're well read. they go to church, mostly. as i said, the one is engaged. they're on track for great, successful lives, and we're truly blessed to have them. >> are they all conservative? >> yes! one of them strayed once on a vote, but we'll never let him forget it. and i think he acknowledges his wrongdoing now. >> we have more video. this is of you thanking contributors. let's watch that and get your take on that. >> yes. >> i'm michelle easton, president of the luce policy institute. i am so grateful to you for making our work possible. your support allows us to promote conservative leaders and use thei

mr. robinson. >> jimmy: you had to fill both roles, right? >> right. one kid cut a bird's head off.ry, very disturbing. >> jimmy: really? wow. >> it was shocking. >> jimmy: in music? >> in music class, cut a bird's head off. i had a bird sinng, trying to teach them -- >> no, it was -- it was in science class or something, but it was -- it got around the school. >> jimmy: that's no good at all. do you perrer if the "hot tub time machining" rather than the music teaching? >> it depends who's in it with me. >> jimmy: you guys have been all over the country. >> did a crew of tucks parade -- >> jimmy: what? >> crew of tucks? like, friar tuck? >> jimmy: like the hemorrhoid ointment? >> yes. and it was -- it's -- there's no rules. >> jimmy: yeah, of course not. not at mardi gras. >> well, they had a mardi gras in san diego and they have rules there. >> jimmy: they do? they do two pa raids. a lot of fun. just -- not as wild. >> jimmy: in san diego, you did something, and we happen to have the tape. you somehow wound up doing the weather on the local news there. >> yeah, yeah. i've done the

robinson and mr. ricks. everyone talked about the need to understand iraq for the sake of iraq. can you talk a little bit about the president and future influence of other chalabi as there is any. >> the man has nine lives, politically. i think it's been in a lot of the papers so i won't repeat the details of that, but the problem is and again i think earlier diplomatic intervention was required before those 500 people were purged from the electoral roll to be able to run for candidates. .. >> that's not a criticism. it's just his personality or he is not as adept are comfortable in that world of maneuvering. and i think we have suffered as a result at a very radical time. but ultimately it is of the iraqi's who have to come around to programs these deals, and maybe they will get through a painful tree that may involve some return to war. i was a little concerned about the u.n. envoys kind of hands-off bit where he said let's let the iraqi's sorted out. there's just some deep cleavage is in very deep issues, and traditionally war in the scenarios have involved some kind of media

robinson and mr. ricks. everyone talked about the need to understand iraq for the sake of iraq. can you talk a little bit about the president and future influence of how much will it be if there is any. >> the man has nine lives politically. yeah, i think it's been in a lot of the papers so i won't repeat the details of that, but the problem is and again i think earlier diplomatic intervention was required before those 500 people were purged from the electoral rose to be able to run for candidates. and again this is critical that you get in this parliament finally full representation across the iraqi political spectrum so then you can have the kind of multisite variants coalition building that will produce some legislation that's required for the endgame. i mean, the parliamentary system and this is absolutely critical. and so i am very concerned and that it happened and be that we were not more on top of it and did more to walk the cat back. and i think that we really do -- this is one thing behind the scenes, you know, petraeus and crocker worked intensively with malik he and

this question is directed to miss robinson and mr. ricks.eryone needed to understand iraq for the sake of iraq. can you talk about the present and future influence of ahmad chalabi, if there is any? >> the plan has nine lives. i think it has been in i lot of the papers, so i -- in a lot of the papers, so i won't repeat the details of that. again, diplomatic intervention was required before those 500 people were perjuried -- purged from the electoral rolls. it is important that you get full reputation across the iraqi spectrum so you can have multisectarian political building that is neeted for the end game. it is a parliamentary system, and this is absolutely critical. so i am very concerned, a, that it happened, and b, that we were not more on top of it and did more to walk the cat back. and i think that we really do -- this is one thing. behind-the-scenes, petraeus and crocker worked intensively with malaki. the general is an able general, but he doesn't have that political intuition and maeuverability. he's not as ad event in that world o

mr. ricks and, you know, linda robinson said about the importance of foreign internal defense that this should have been a primary mission and that's true of any insurgency around the world. unless you want to occupy that country permanently as a colonial force and use your own institutions and your own military and civil service like the british did in india if you want to leave that country ever, then you have to build up indigenous forces and at the local level so that they can sustain and operate on their own. we have not done that. foreign internal defense, building indigenous forces it's a secondary mission. what do we read about in the news. retaking of marjah and all these big military in the source and we don't hear from the training and the equipping of the police and institutions that could function without our continued presence and that remains the case today. and you have a lot of guys who have gone out taking enormous risk and the training teams, they take a lot of risk. they operate without support often without air support. a lot of them have been, you know -- just -- they tak
