thanks a lot to the pew center for inviting me to this discussion.and i feel privileged being, about being invited to discussion which is basically about domestic financial reform in the u.s. now, i think the news of the last few days may perhaps help me make a point of why this last panel is actually relevant to the general discussion. in 2008 there was a sense that europe was a victim of something that was happening in the u.s. out of lax regulation in the u.s. and lax oversight of the financial sector, and europe was hit by contingent your so europeans to take an active role in the sequence of discussions and have higher level of financial oversight generally. but now the reverse is happening of course, and we mentioned what's happening in money maket funds out of concern for contagion in european banking sector, because of what's happening in greece. so basically the point here is that interdependent schools or ways u.s. to europe, europe to u.s. and also the rest of the world. so, let me be very brief in getting an update as steve has suggested

afghanistan is way ahead of president obama in terms of the desire to withdraw troops in the latest pew poll shows fifty six percent. to thirty eight percent want to withdraw our troops as soon as possible only thirty eight percent are interested in keeping troops there until the situation is stabilized called unquote so i mean that's really you know it's not that obama is satisfied in public opinion what he's doing is primarily satisfying the interests of the pentagon in the military they have gotten most of i would say eighty percent of what they wanted whereas the faction in his administration was really concerned about the cost of the war got very little of what they wanted electricity interview in london what is obama's priorities then because a lot of people see this is this kind of smoke and mirrors that it's not really a real drawback at least at this point because a spoiled withdrawing the number of troops is still there still really very few deadlines out there and maybe that's done by on purpose we can talk about later in the program but is this more driven by domestic politi
