and so i think we really need to reenforce that and use all of our capables, civilian and military, supportingo be able too -- to influence the north. my real question -- i'm grad you talked about the u.n. commission of inquiry. i don't think that is in the news enough. and i didn't realize that march 14 was the time for their findings. my real question is, what do you think the prospects are of being able to operationallize those findings, be able to do something to -- with those findings? i think we all in the what the findings will be, and how -- i mean, the reports, as you've indicated, continue to show a pattern of real tragedy and abuse, but will the u.n. be able to take those fine examination operationallize them somehow, some kind of plan to really influence the north? i guess that would be my specific question. >> i think it's dealing with the human rights situation, it's a long-term, continuous effort, and the mn thing we have to do is keep it up. and i think one of the things the commission of inquiry does is sort of raises the level of attention on north korea and north korea's pro

reen-- ense, it could reenforce -- reinforce president obama's strategy of rebalancing toward the asia pacific. of course north korea could also be invited to join if we tart where our initiatives overlap. then later on, it will be easier to find common ground on the larger challenges, easier to find solutions to our mutual benefit. i firmly believe that korea and the united states will work hand in hand as we shape an emerging process for cooperation in the region. the third and final leg of our journey extends even further beyond the peninsula. beyond northeast asia to the rest of the world. it is contributes to happiness, the happiness of koreans on both halves of the peninsula, the happiness of all humanity. it is a vision i also advance at my inauguration, the pursuit of happiness is enshrined in the american declaration of independence. it also occupies a special place in the korean constitution. i have long believed that our alliance should aim far, that t should ultimately seek a happier world. uided by this spirit, we stood side-by-side in the frontier of peace and freedom. in

during the first two days of the air war or the no-fly zone reenforcement, they were the only airplanes that were actually flying because we needed to get the tankers down from europe so we could tank the nato aircraft. so there's a great example of the flexibility those airplanes did. but you go back to o.i.f. one, the iraq war and i was a wing mmander, and we had 72, as i recall. we were flying them off two large deck amphibious ships and then we moved them ashore. i've got pictures of them on highway one just south of carballa, landing out there right after i had just met up with then colonel joe dunford who was the commanding officer. and i landed in helicopter along the highway. looked like i-95. and i said, what do you need? he says i need air support. so we started bringing in fuel, landed c-130's on the highway, landed our -- and then we started landing them there on the highway. i got pictures of it. and we reormed them and refueled them and flew support for the potential attack on baghdad. so those are method that we will use with our aircraft and i expect we'll do exactly the
