thank you, robin. robin. [applause] >> i will now ask mike eisenstadt to offer his remarks. mike? >> thanks, jim. to tough act to follow your. i think my first impression after hearing admiral mullen talk is really a sense of all at the incredibly complex set of security problems that our military, are dealing with in this part of the world. both in terms of geographical scope, in terms of dealing with problems of stability and security and insurgency in areas that we have not been involved in. after 9/11 everybody knows about our involvement in afghanistan and afterward in iraq, but we've also been involved in the horn of africa and increasingly deeply involved in yemen now, right adjacent to the area. so our engagement in the area has expanded in terms of geographic scope, and in terms of the complexity of the issues that we deal with. no longer just are on the security level, but cut across all the instruments of national power. diplomacy, military, economic and he bellovin issues, as was the informational domain which admiral mullen talk about. so i don't envy him. he has trem

obviously, robin mentioned work force and the need to train people not just -- excuse me, not just to work with the elderly but to work in this very different way, very team-based way. we also have the finance problems and other issues, sort of the dominance of clinical concerns that we have in nursing homes, maybe we should be looking more atwell being and quality of life. what the policymakers do? you say it's down in the weeds. but there's an incredible amount they can do. robyn stone did an amazing job looking at what states are doing on culture change. many are being generous with their staff and letting them participate in culture change coalitions. helping to use civil monetary penalty funds to move these movements. four states are starting to use payment incentives. ge phenomenon.rs for the pay foh colorado springs to mind particularly. also looking at support for innovation and design. so many of our nursing homes are really obsolete. and we don't want to start building 1950s nursing homes again. we now know that there are other models that we can be using such as the green h

arguments the pri minister is putting up the time it was about disarming saddam hussein with his robins of mass destruction but it's linked into that, to other issues. when is the relationship and importance of preserving and maintaining that and second the history of the regime. that was an important part of the communications and i think that people have short memories and you have to keep reminding people when we just talk up the iraqi war and save 1 million casualties people here that and then you have to kind of find ways of saying listen, rather than just saying that you might look for a list of all the towns and have a population of 1 million people and people go oh yeah, forgot about that. i think it is just one of the incidents where the impact at the time was profound but now we say saddam hussein's chemical weapons and if i remember that. so it is in a sense you are trying to get over to people when we see these things come at war, death squads, intimidation, taking the tunnels out of people who speak against the regime it is worth listening to some of that and worth understa

this is robin on the democrats' line.ller: first i would like to ask for a call to action from everyone. hello? host: we are listening. caller: a call to action from everyone to do something about the media manipulation, especially in the cable and media and talk radio. we need a call to action because that is the one thing, no matter which side of the aisle you are on, you agree that there needs to be something done about the media. our politicians cannot even be good and decent people if they wanted to because they aren't too busy trying to maneuver around the sound bites and the little minions that sit there and discuss things that we as citizens sit around and discuss every day. they get paid to do that and they are influencing people and exploiting the minds of people. anyway, i wish i had caught the congressman because in america we forget so easily, and the media accounts on this. in 2000, george bush and the republicans campaigned on fixing the economy. the economy has not been fixed. the debt has been there since

. >> i am robin walker.bruce, you mentioned this briefly but since we have decades of experience you with the cia out that i would ask you guys for your analysis of the bonding. what does it mean that we were taken by jordanian double or triple agent? what does it mean that two of the people killed were blackwater employees, or former blackwater employees? just your analysis on that, please. >> well, my two colleagues that more time on the dark side of the cia than i did. so i may be the least qualified to discuss this. first of all, we don't know what happened yet. we have various, scanty press reports. but let's assume it was some kind of triple, double agent or whatever he is, a quadruple agent. to me, one of the most interesting things is what was it that he was bringing to the table? as far as we can tell from the press accounts, and i stress, we only have press accounts that we don't really know what happened. he was bringing to the table some really big bait. the location specifics on where we would f

extraordinary, brilliant, pakistani leaders, both in the ngo world and the ministries about this, and we sent robinraffel, who most of you must know, former assistant secretary for south asia, out there and she is now our chief of operations, in islamabad, and she is -- i'm not going to say she's fixed the problem, i'm not going to say she will fix it completely, but i will say that the people working in these fields and education is very high on our list in pakistan, are much, much more comfortable now. we spend a lot of money on education, and as hillary clinton said yesterday, in that public statement, when she went to pakistan, she didn't actually name pakistan, but the reference in the -- as i listened to her, i thought she was referring to our trip. she said, -- she said, people say to me, you say you give us all this money, we've never seen any of it and then she said the chinese and japanese projects are very visible. we're well aware of that criticism and we're changing it as rapidly as this attenuated budgetary process, because we're so aware of the issue you've raised. >> we'll take one

robin i are proud to be unit chiefs for the asset management unit. all the last decade, the asset management industry has grown to encompass a huge percentage of both retail and institutional investors as well. it has grown much more sophisticated and complex. that is because the options for retail investment have increased beyond the standard mutual fund , and the alternatives for sophisticated investors have vastly expanded. the events of the last two years have highlighted the need for us to closely monitor the full range of the financial services industry. from sophisticated financial institutions to individual retail investors, protection of investors is our responsibility. and we can better perform that task by better understanding and focusing on the active management -- asset management industry. we also need to keep current with an industry that is constantly evolving and changing. the asset management industry is now in a period of consolidation. with consolidation comes the risk, including the potential for increased conflict, as advisers

i saw papers my predecessor robin cook submitted to the prime minister about the future policy that weseeking which he had talked to colin powell and the u.k. government was talking to the u.k. government about and does it work i took those over and there was then negotiations which got going in late june of 2001 to try to get the so-called smartest actions and we tried very hard to get to this draft resolution through mr. jeremy greene stock in his evidence is given a great deal of detail about that, but it simply wasn't possible to get agreement. i think that the iraqis were kind of comfortable, the iraqi regime, not the iraqi people but they were in a strange way comfortable with the situation and i often thought about the facility and use of sanctions that can work and they can have paradoxical effects that can lead to corruption. they can lead to the strengthening of authoritarian regime and so on so there is a sort of weird identity between those who thought we needed to do something about iraq. those were in the middle, those who were making money out of the sanctions and the ir

robin the republican line.aller: thank you to c-span and thank you, sir, for your service to the country. there are many who are of the thought with regards to the war in afghanistan and pakistan that we should pull out because that area of the world is known as the burial ground of civilizations and the men and women who are dying so nobly their should better be brought home and surrounded our country with much tighter border security. thank you. guest: thank you. i have been a focus on africa for so long that in the periphery i look at afghanistan, pakistan. i understand, it is a difficult political question. look -- i honestly believe that we have to continue to go after the threat. i think general mcchrystal said it perfectly -- the conflict will be won by persuading the population and not by destroying the enemy. so it is a delicate balance, again, that in effect of the u.s. military has to be involved but we have to do it in a very smart way. we got to reach the population. we got to win the hearts of the

they look different than when budgets were still growing and you could use a robin hood-type of growth show or stop in some schools and agreeing in others and using a couple of different mechanisms. some in the paper were better than others at preserving the fragile coalition is takes politically to make that happen that positions them well during times in which they have to cut budgets and those pain points are going to begin to touch the more affluent parts of the county or district that were willing as long as their services weren't getting cut to fund increases in other places. in district where is they offended the pocks they were picking to fund the other part. it's a much more difficult task to preserve a strategy in which they think was working in the formally underresourced schools and make cuts in schools that have stakeholders without sized voices. jose mentioned that when you matchup early childhood versus extra curricular, the parents so up and even though he knows that the pay off on investments in early childhood with a very difficult choice to make. if the politics are

as i think about my own children, a 14-year-old daughter, lee, and 11-year-old son, robin, i liked to know there are young role models like mark ingram out there for children all across america to be proud of and to look up to. yes, mark ingram is a tremendous athlete. as my colleagues have already noted, he is not only the -- set the single season rushing record at the university of alabama, when you think about the great names who played running back, johnny museo, sean alexander, bobby humphrey, that's saying a lot. but mark ingram is also a deans list student. my sister, judy, is the provost at the university of alabama, chief academic officer. she says the faculty at the university look at mark with awe at what he does not only on the athletic field but in the classroom as well. he's a deans list student and he's certainly setting the highest standard of any student at the university of alabama. so, it goes without saying, madam speaker, that we are all proud, the people of michigan, the people of alabama, and people all across this country that a young man can come to the univer

we will then hear from robin stone, who is the executive director of the institute for the future of aging services. at the american association of homes and services for the aging here in washington, d.c. since she started the institute 10 years ago, she's developed and directed a number of national programs, including the center for medicare education, the better jobs, better care national program, funded by the robert wood johnson foundation and atlantic philanthropy. she was a political appointee during the clinton administration, serving in the u.s. department of health and human services as deputy assistant secretary for disability, aging and long-term care policy. she also was assistant secretary for aging in 1997. she's been a senior researcher at the national center for health services research, and at project hope center for health healthy communities fares previously, as well as -- health affairs previously, as well as at georgetown university. to begin, let's welcome to the podium, steven kay. >> some people focus on specific federal programs, or they might focus on quali

there was -- what i might describe as a round robin letter where the prime minister would set out a number of concerns from different departments, the foreign office, the m.o.d., and possibly other issues that i would certainly have seen. and was used to seeing. that letter would be in a sense a statement of british government's position on a range of issues including some effect on the ministry of defense that would go to the white house. my impression with your exchanges with alistar was that there were probably rather more private communications that may have taken place. i'm reconstructing 'cause i don't know 'cause i did fought see those more private communications. the prime minister was a great note-writer. it would not surprise me at all that there were private notes that he would send to the president. moreover, that he would have had private conversations that i would not be privy to. >> if he was writing notes to recipients as committing britain to military action, wouldn't you have expected his defense secretary to have been consulted? >> i would have been and that is why i don
