there was always a jewish presence in palestine. >> of the outline of palestine is what? >> there are so many definitions of palestine. in the beginning, palestine was in jordan. the british lopped off jordan from palestine as a whole and created a separate country. then, the scientists would argue that the rest of palestine was supposed to be the jewish state. it was partitioned one more time between israel and an arab state. >> there was a famous conference in 1946 -- 1943. they made a major decision that even though their conception of the jewish state would mean all of palestine, including jordan and the areas promised under the commission and 1936, the compromised and agreed to a much smaller area that they said they would accept as a jewish state which meant that they would accept, when the un voted for the partition, but there would be a jewish state and an arab state. they won the fight. that was very significant. >> i am harry truman and i am looking around and i am looking at my state department and the defense department and i am looking over towards israel. wh

use for an early attack as well as for the argument to the obama administration that we cannot do palestine first because iran is a more urgent program. this is an interesting comment by the mossad, not normally known for engaging in international politics. an interesting development to keep your eye on. other questions? yes? >> i have a question -- i am the independent editor for women, inc. maybe you could answer this -- how much of validity did you give to the rumors of the involvement of the grand ayatollah with systematically -- who was systematically against the theocratic state? >> i am engaging in rumors, too. let's be very clear. you know the idea cholecystotomy has many offices -- you know the ayatollah sistani has many offices, very influential and iraq and iran. his grandson or granddaughter is now married to another leaders daughter or son. these ayatollah's grandchildren have close family relations. like many other members of the clergy, it is considered to be a traditional cleric -- not very happy with the kind of dynamics -- they do not want to be out of the process. they wa

in terms of positioning, in terms of talking to their own public in palestine and lebanon, in terms of ideology this is a set back. >> let me just say something, first of all, hamas and hezbollah are completely different entities as far as the iranians are concerned. and i would be very interested to know whether or not the kind of schisms that have developed side of iran and are blatant are being reproduced in hezbollah. because as many of you mow, the father of the hezbollah movement is a major mousavi supporter. the former interior minister. he is mrone of mr. mousavi's ma advisors so he has close links to hezbollah. so, it would be interesting for somebody to examine whether this has reverberations there. >> i think you will find people minister comm more committed to the islamic revolution there than iran. in the sense, many of the hezbollah still romanticize this idea of the revelation. they don't have to go through it, so that makes it easier. but i think that you have a core. how large that core is i don't think it -- it is 20%, 30% of hezbollah, not the overwhelm in majority b

guard with dominance see in foreign policy, a driving policy on the nuclear program, iraq, lebanon, palestine, other places. it praetorian guard that upholds fundamentals and values but also in nationalistic outlook that concerns the arab states. also a praetorian guard that had little knowledge of and a few connections to the outside world beyond syria, hezbollah operatives, and the likes of few hugo chavez. there is very little good news and you interlocutors -- and few interlocutors. they are speculating about iran's coming behavior. it will largely depend on the iranian leadership. after all, the only item they were really worried about was the western-backed revolution -- and it happened. the threat materialized. if i iranian leaders mean what they say when they blame the protests in the streets on the west, then what she might see is the rise of a more confrontational -- then what you might see is the rise of a more confrontational or ran. this is if ahmadinejad mean what he says publicly. that the u.s. and the u.k. are driving that process. if they have the courage to acknowledge that

on issues that are lesser to palestine, palestine and iraq. we need something important and something with substance. and that's what i would say at this. >> right now i was just over discussing at a conference in europe israel palestine issues and settlements being a large part. i would be interest did in any thoughts you have on settlement. but one of the things that seems to be clear is that many, not all, but many arab muslims don't believe the united states is a fair broker, and less they see israel pay a cost or if they see some negative for israel. and likewise, israel in terms of talking about the very term pro-israel almost requires there to be a zero-sum loss for air of interest. did you see, does the network promote the notion, or do you see developing anywhere in the arab world a notion that you can have a win-win solution that is not based upon one side getting a tilt from the united states and ultimately leads to a cost to the other? this is one of the biggest issues that perplexes me. >> we can take the issue, we can forever arg

groups have not sent folks over, although there was a suicide bombing in 2004 that involved writs of palestine origin. they are contained in the theater, meaning afghanistan, pakistan, and india with a few oddballs pop in up in iraq and elsewhere. i have found in the literature of pakistan the military groups that there is a huge motivator. if you look at the poetry, the posters, the palestinian issue is a recurrent theme across these militant groups. if you are thinking about what might be a metric of support for some of these militant groups, this is an important question, even though it is useful in benchmarking pakistan. with that caveat, nwfp is certainly an allied air. this is a question that pipa asked all over the place over the years. people seem to think that this is the goal, but nwfp is an outlier. it makes me feel more confident that we are really measuring the opinion of people there as opposed to this being some sort of freaky point estimate error. belujistan is an allied outliers well. this should have gone with the first back, but looking specifically at al qaeda and the activ

the healthcare plan an old plan trying to imply there was not enough thought or analysis to the palestine. to the criltyicks, please offer specific crepe abby is unrealistic. i'm unhappy with the government telling me what doctor i could have nor am i happy that decent honest people like myself will have to fork out more in taxes. >> >> traffic and weather together. >> good morning, checking on your morning commute. it will be busy today. that resurfacing project begins today through late fall. it's going to be a nightmare. here are some ways to get around it. from east baltimore, take green street or mla. let's see what else is going on out there. we have a doe lay from just past white marsh. not too bad here. we are seeing some backing on the ut outer loop. looking good oit side. a little bit of light cloud cover over the area. a line of storms over the great lake that will change our weather pattern by tomorrow. yesterday, a 39 degree dew point reading in july. 10 degree increments, we'll start out at 49 at york, pents, 59 at the aret and 69 downtown. it's been a cool year with these r

the host of palestine. they did the visitors 4-0. but more than just a game from an occasion. the state was full to bursting. the unofficial capacity of 45,000. every space was taken for an officially approved match even though fifa still has not lifted the general ban of the games in iraq. muhammed score the first -- alla abdul -- more and more spectators began to surround the pitch but only after this late penalty and then the final whistle committed to the surface. a great celebration for iraq, football returns of capital. they have been ordered to do so by the l.a. gannett -- a galaxy management but they settled of the princes. landon donovan recently questioned that composite commitment. becton describe his teammate as unprofessional -- beckam described as teammate as congressional and now they say it is resolved. but how did it go? >> what was the conversation like? >> nothing, i am not going to talk about what was said. that was between me, landon, and the manager. but it is finished. over. we move on, a big game on thursday. >> i do regret some things i said. i regret

on issues that are lesser to palestine, palestine and iraq. we need something important and something with substance. and that's what i would say at this. >> right now i was just over discussing at a conference in europe israel palestine issues and settlements being a large part. i would be interest did in any thoughts you have on settlement. but one of the things that seems to be clear is that many, not all, but many arab muslims don't believe the united states is a fair broker, and less they see israel pay a cost or if they see some negative for israel. and likewise, israel in terms of talking about the very term pro-israel almost requires there to be a zero-sum loss for air of interest. did you see, does the network promote the notion, or do you see developing anywhere in the arab world a notion that you can have a win-win solution that is not based upon one side getting a tilt from the united states and ultimately leads to a cost to the other? this is one of the biggest issues that perplexes me. >> we can take the issue, we can forever arg

arnie -- palestine army. more interestingly, former ambassador of pakistan to the united states, a man who straddles the world of diplomacy and military with ease. he has now joined the rank of think tankers because he has his own research institute called spearhead in pakistan. just a few words about the general. he is a graduate of the pakistan military academy, but also a graduate of the command and staff college of pakistan, as well as the command and general staff college of fort leavenworth. general staff college at fort leavenworth. he has held many key posts in the pakistan military, apart from his operational commands, at all levels, he was director general of military operations, and involved with a lot of very key issues dealing with india, during his tenure. then, he headed a corps and was then promoted, brought to army headquarters as the chief of general staff, and then, took over from general abdul wahid as the chief of army staff. to his credit, he is the only army chief in pakistan's history

here against palestine and they're friendly. this is an incredible scene.m is filled to capacity. with intense security. as the war continues. but it's this game, this that has being the iraqi people's disconnect, from the horror around them. this is what's the only thing that's united the iraqi people. >> nice to see michael wehr so excited and happy there in baghdad. >> i think in all his years of covering that war we've never seen him smile. really nice to see. >> see the most recent

we don't want to be caught again in semantics on issues that are related to palestine, and iraq. we need something important and something with substance. and that is what i would say at this moment. >> right now i was over discussing and a conference in europe israel palestine issues and settlements. been a large one. i would be interested in you thought you have on the settlement issue. but one of the things that seems to be clear is many, not all, but many arab muslims don't believe that the united states is a fair broker and less invasive israel pay a cost where they see some negative for israel. and likewise, israel in terms of talking about the very term pro-israel almost requires there to be a zero-sum loss for arab interests. did you see, does the network promote the notion or do you see developing anywhere in the arab world the notion that you can have a win-win solution that is not based upon one side getting a tilt from the united states and ultimately leads to a cost of the other? this is one of the biggest issue that perplexes me. >> we can for example take the issue

here against palestine and friendly. this is an incredible scene. this stadium is filled to capacity. with intense security as the war continues. but it's this game, this that has been the iraqi people's disconnect from the horror around them. this is what's the only thing that's united the iraqi people. when they won the asian cup, the sectarian violence, the entire war paused for just a moment as the entire country celebrated. today we see it again. it's truly huge. one of baghdad's grand days. and it's football that's connected everybody together. michael wehr, cnn, baghdad. >>> finally, a good news story out of baghdad and excited michael wehr there. >>> when we come back, few people know what it's like to get beaten up at a senate confirmation hearing and rejected. our next new maker does. robert bork has advice. this is a history of over 50,000 crash-tested cars... and 889 safety patents. this is the world record for longevity and endurance. and one of the most technologically advanced automobiles on the planet. this is the 9th generation e-cl

>> the roots go back to palestine after the formation of israel. they're anti-israel and very much in favor of a united islamic state taking all of the various islamic nations and placing them under one -- in one ca caliphate. they say they're non-violent, but there are plenty of critics within the muslim community around the world. and outside observers who believe simply by stoking this kind of language, that they are actually add i adding the boiling pot we've seen around the planet in terms of terrorism i ve events going forward. they add to the heat of discussion around the planet. >> we are looking at the video that describes the conference, advertising the conference, tries to recruit people to come to the conference. what do other islamic groups say about the group? do they support them? >> no. they don't find a lot of support in a lot of the main stream muslim organizations. as a matter of fact, they're described as a fringe group and not very cooperative with others. we have a sound bite from a local leader who views them and seen them th

iraq is playing its first home game here against palestine and they're friendly. to kpasts. with intense security as the war continues. it's this game. this that has been the iraqi people's disconnect from the horror around them. this is what's the only thing that's united the iraqi people. >> nice to see michael wehr so excited and happy there in baghdad. >> i think in all his years of covering the war we've never seen him smile. nice to see. >> see the shots at our website, ac 360.com. >>> ahead, exclusive tour of ghana's cape coast castle with president obama and my sit-down interview one-on-one. and we're ready for it. because we took all our lists and we went to walmart. since walmart checks other store's prices... i didn't have to. that means we got home in time... for just a little more summer -- and for one last night of lightning bugs. back to school costs less at walmart. save money. live better. walmart.

i mean, for exampl richard wkins has said, if it weren' for religion the would be no israel-palestineconflict. i me, i think that's a, not true. that conict started as an essentially secular ruggle over land. and b, it leadus to kind of throw up our hands and say, "well, what can yodo?" as long as peoe are religious, there's no point in addresng any grievanc or rearranging the facts on the grod to try make things better. i thk there's been a dangerous over-emphasis on t negative effects of religious bief in e modern world. although, it has many negave effects. >> moyers: i don't find y traces of cynicism in thbook. in fact, i wanto ask you about somethinyou say toward the end. you say that, "human bngs are organic machines that e built by natural selection to deal with otherrganic machines. they can visualize other oanic beings, unrstand other organic beings, and bestow love d gratitude on oth organic beings. understanding the divi, visualizinthe divine, loving the divine--that would be tall order for a mere han being." but we've not given trying, have we? >> no. and i think, you know

iraq fell -- iraq, jordan, palestine fell to the british. now syria and lebanon fell to the french. that is how the were governed in the subsequent years. the influence of britain and france, even their cultural influence, including language still prevail in those areas. host: yesterday, but president biden said his mission was to reestablish contact with the white house and baghdad. but reports have said that the iraqi government officials, some have publicly rejected the vice president's offer to help with national reconciliation, saying it is an internal affair. guest: that is the problem with democracy. it is missing of people say all kinds of things. what is important is what the prime minister says. we have members of parliament the same as you have congressman and senators who voice opinions which are very varied. we as a government are very serious about the relationship between the countries of iraq and the west going for. we need the u.s.. the u.s. needs an ally in the region. we want to be that allied and the weak share common val

states could do as they sought to improve conditions in the displaced persons camp, open access to palestine to the survivors and facilitate migration to the united states and all of these required the sympathy of the american public as a whole. brochures, flyers, advertisements in newspapers both jewish in general spots on radio and television shows designed to raise money, heightened awareness and barbour political support all told the same story over and over again, two-thirds of european jewry had perished under the nazi regime but one-third managed to stay alive and those who did needed vast amounts of assistance. fund-raising calls essentially needed the historical narrative to tell what had happened in order to maximize the sympathy on the part of the public. the references to the catastrophe need not have been lengthy and indeed the material hardly lend itself to extensive extensive treatment but it needed to direct the listeners, viewers and readers to the connection between the devastation that constituted the holocaust and the needs of the survivors. again i'm just going to share

spots around the world, right now you have high level special envoys, senator mitchell in israel and palestine>> a lot of these people that have been appointed may be undercutting her influence in some of these places, depending on who grabs the power. i want to play one more sound byte because we are short of time, but this is from today and i wanted to get your reaction to it. >> the choice is clear. we remain ready to engage with iran, but the time for action is now. the opportunity will not remain open indefinitely. >> she is basically saying the opportunity is now in iran. in 15 seconds each, jason, you go first. is she taking a stronger stance against iran than the president? >> well, she's starting to sound like the third bush administration. she is the hawk in the administration, and i think she recognizes her relevance may well be defined by her being more of a hawk within the administration than the rest of the foreign policy team. >> peter, two seconds. i'm sorry. >> well, i don't necessarily believe that she is a hawk within the administration. i think she is following the policies

and israel has as well started to focus on to try to do economic development to give the people of palestinewon't just have a state, they will have a viable state and to ensure israel that we are as concerned about the iranian nuclear program as they are. economic sanctions, particularly focused on iran's energy sector are the best tool we have right now to pressure iran to stop pursuing nuclear weapons. those are the two big messages i think are going to be sent. >> but congressman, it is unusual for a defense secretary to talk about the peace process. is there some kind of quid pro quo being offered to israel? is there concern that they will strike militarily at iran's nuclear program? >> i doubt there it any quid pro quo deal being offer the. the main thing is for secretary gates to go there and reassure israel that we are with them and want to come up with the best possible strategy to stop iran from developing a nuclear weapon but right now that is not military action, basically to let them know we feel there are other pressure points, some of the things we talked about earlier. >> the

the new approach in impetus he has given to solving middle east problems, between israel and palestineelpful to create an atmosphere that is constructive. an atmosphere that would be easy for those to be allied and close to the united states host: next, north carolina. caller: good morning. again not know why saddam hussein has anything to do with [inaudible] but why has it taken the iraqi people so long to stand up for themselves? the united states had given lots. why has it taken so long for the iraqi government, army, police to stand up? guest: let me remind you of a couple of facts. first, it was the 90 states -- united states decision to totally disbanded the iraqi police and army, so they left the country totally without these institutions. can you imagine any country without police or army and to rebuild that from scratch? the right position would have been to keep these institutions in place and reform them. that was one factor which comes back to the responsibility of the u.s. the other fact is that there were many other countries such as germany after the war in japan which t

one of the first and foremost issues the situation with israel, palestine talking about the relationsnd what more can be done. boy, oh, boy, how would you feel in a meeting like that with the pope and all the cameras flashing inches from your face. fascinating, fascinating pictures to see. there will be other issues they will be addressing. some may be personal ones, according to our correspondent ed henry who has been telling us about if the president will speak to the pope about his choices with religion and his thoughts and his position on abortion, of course, being one of them. so, again, we will continue to follow these pictures and this story as the president travels from here with these meetings with the pope on to ghana in africa, of course. i believe it's more of the discussions and issues that will be handled with the pope. we'll center around that as we talk more about poverty and food crisis in the developing nation. i believe those were intrpteres that may have been sitting down with the pope and the president at that table just moments ago. really great stuff coming out

we are pursuing the goal of two states, israel and palestine, living in peace and security.e are partnering with muslim communities around the world to advance education, health and economic development. in each of these endeavors, i believe that the russian people share our goals, and will benefit from success. and we need to partner together. now, in addition to the security concerns, the third area that i will discuss is america's interest in global prosperity. and since we have so many economists and future business men and women in the room, i know this is of great interest to you. we meet in the midst of the worst global recession and a generation. i believe that the free market is the greatest force for creating and distributing wealth that the world has ever known. but wherever the market is allowed to run rampant, through excessive risk-taking, a lack of regulation, or corruption, and all are endangered, whether we live on the mississippi or on the volga. in america, we're now taking unprecedented steps to jumpstart our economy and reform our system of regulation. b

the president satisfied he's had sub assistantive progress, whether it's trying to get israel and palestine back to the bargaining table or other issues around the world? >> reporter: they do believe they are making progress, but one thing the white house likes to point out is everything takes time and a lot of times they'll point the finger at us and saying the media is always saying why isn't this being done or fast enough? they point out everything, including change and bipartisanship here in washington, takes time. >> dan lothian at the white house. thanks so much. while the administration grades itself, many of you are grading the administration. next week, we take note of 200 days in office for the obama whouls. cnn anchors, analysts, and many of you will grade the president on the economy, health care reform, foreign policy and other issues you care about. special coverage of this national report card starts next week on cnn. >>> another issue you care about, how much work the nation's lawmakers have done or failed to do. right now, house members are heading for exits for the congres

what i have found is that the palestine issue is a huge not vator. and the palestinian issue is really a recurrent theme across these militant groups. if you are think what plight be, this actually is an important question, even though it is useful in benchmarking pact. with that caveat, nwfp is an outlier. going to u.s. goal -- again this is a question that pipa asked all over the place. what you see overwhelmingly folks seem to think this is a goal. but nwfp is an outlier. they are appearing in a similar cluster of questions. it makes me feel more confident they were measuring the opinion of people there as opposed to this being some sort of freaky error. and again, very similar to nwfp. now going back to -- perhaps we should have reorganized this. but looking at al qaeda and the activities of bin laden. this is framed because many folks don't know the word al qaeda, but they know bin laden. again, you see a lot of interprovincial variation. and again, i suspect because they haven't borne the brunt of islamic violence. you are looking at variation.

. >> palestine has released five druglords. any comment on that? >> that question was asked last week. we will have to -- sorry, we will have asked your question to be answered. >> a quick one. we have a report that chinese police shot dead two people, according to a chinese news agency. there was a report that the police were trying to stop them from attacking another uigher. the u.s. any comment on the specific incident? -- do you have any comment on the specific incident? and i suppose it adair said to get a u.s. diplomat on the ground there. -- it took a day or so to get a u.s. diplomat on the ground there. >> we do have a team on the ground from the u.s. embassy. you point out, they got there a day or two after the incident started. the short answer your question is, are we still gathering information? we have expressed our concern to the chinese government about the situation, and we are urging china and to handle the situation as we go forward in a transparent manner. to do their assessment of what has happened in an open and transparent man

just here, they are playing their first home game, iraq against palestine.his stadium is filled to capacity with intense security. as the war continues but it is this game, this has been the iraqi people's disconnect from the horror around them. this is the only thing that's united the iraqi people. when they won the asian cup, the violence stopped for a moment as the entire country celebrated. today, we see it again. this truly is one of baghdad's all too few grand days. it is football that has connected everybody together. michael ware, cnn, baghdad. >> iraq's soccer team won that game. they are ranked 94th in the world. these days, they play for the sports. just a few years ago, playing could have meant life and death. before the 2003 u.s.-led invasion, sadam hussein's son was widely known to have run iraq's national soccer team with an iron fist. players that didn't perform well were said to be humiliated, thrown in prison and tortured. some were told their legs would be cut off. you will remember ude hussein died in the attack in 2003 and is buried next

and health care insures it palestine brian rush limbaugh very secret agenda to destroy the country.. you know something else about the bill as it's currently constituted? there is a bit of a slush fund to the tune of $10 billion for goodies like sidewalks. streetlights, bike paths all under the guise of making people healthy, therefore, we'll pay less money in health care because people are exercising, getting out at all hours of the day and night. steve: it's crazy. so they have put this 10 billion-dollar provision in there that essentially will allow these lawmakers going forward to take money out of the health care account to build sidewalks. and. brian: sir couple events the whole process. steve: tom coal born says that's not right. anything that encourages people to walk or ride their bike promotes health. what do you think? brian: just 10 billion. alisyn: all right, in the meantime. steve: business as usual. alisyn: let me tell you what is happening this morning. late last night, a helicopter slammed into a highway in washington county maryland leaving four people dead. when f

sidelines really pandering to other populations in the middle east, he can create peace between palestinesraelis, but if you're a member of hezbollah or hamas and you see the u.s. backing away from israel, how is that an i incentive to compromise. the message seems to be don't worry about iranian nukes, they probably won't use them. if you're trying to raise a family in haifa or tel aviv how do you like to be told about don't worry about iranian nukes, they probably won't use them? gretchen: and the president seems to be a huge advocate with sitting down and chating with these people, and so what are your feelings with trying to have dialogue with the iranians? >> well, first of all, i have to say when i get to chat with you i'm always happier than a moonshiner with a new set of tires. gretchen: i'll take that. >> yes. gretchen: let's get back to iran. >> ok. but certainly look, we all would love to live in a world in which dialogue solves everything. i'd certainly love to. and president obama is very confident because frankly here's a man who through his charisma and charm and talent tal

iraq is playing the first time game here against palestine, this is an incredible thing. this that has been the iraqi people's disconnect from the horror around them. this is what's the only thing that's united the iraqi people. when they won the asian cup, the sectarian violence, the entire war, just a moment as the entire country celebrated. today, we see it again. this truly is one of baghdad's all too few grand days and it's football that's connected everybody together. michael ware, cnn, baghdad. >> you can tell that michael's found his passion. >> he has too, yeah, the great equalizer. >> he used to play australian rules football. so he's very fond of suppoportse that. town & country with r a generous cash allowance, or 0% financing for 60 months. the @%ail rated jeep grand cherokee also comes with a cash allowance or 0% financing for 60 months. or choose a hard working all new dodge ram truck with a cash allowance that's tough to beat. all with our best in the business lifetime powertrain warranty. so hurry come see the deals we've built for you at the dodge chrysl

but what i have found in the literature of the pakistani militant group the palestine issue is a huge motivator so if you look at that type of poetry and posters of been collecting the magnum-opus and the palestinian issue is a recurrent theme across the militant groups. so if you are thinking about what might be in metric of support for some of these militant groups this actually is an important question even though it's also useful in benchmarking pakistan. and so with that caveat as i said, nwfp is certainly an outlier. going back to the u.s. goal to define islam, again this is a question that this be in line asks over the years and when you see overwhelmingly folks seem to think this is a goal. but again, nwfp is and how lier and because we see nwfp appearing in a series of questions is an outline your it makes me more confident we are measuring the opinion of people as opposed to this being some sort of freaky point estimate error. and again, baluchistan is an altmire again, very similar in fact to nwfp as we have seen in previous slides. now, the wingback we should perhaps reorg
