so almost having a staff meeting chair that were leading linda robinson joined. and that, what lessons to draw from iraq? >> thank you very much, patrick. i'm delighted to be part of this conversation today. and i am certainly going to draw on the boat can't tell me how this sense. i've also just finished writing a chapter for a book that is looking at less than learned from both iraq and the guinness fan and pakistan. i am by no means an expert on vietnam, so i will rely in part on our dialogue to try to extract and tie and some of these legs. i did start this chapter however save the united states is going to its most sustained and intensive experience of war since it departed vietnam 35 years ago. so i have been living through these years, i think, very conscious of the fact that this is a new vietnam generation and away. the people who were out there fighting are going through and in some ways many of the same things that service people did in vietnam. i think we also is a country are going to spend many years arguing over this war and grappling with it here

they are living through this new generation as linda robinson very well pointed out.ustained period of combat since vietnam. and despite what i said about the disconnectedness of the american people to the american soldier, i still think that the duration and the degree of violence concentrated in very short -- it's not the same kind of sustained combat. there's high levels of violence in short bursts and i think it's having an impact on the american psyche and i think we have to consider that as we go forward as we look at this next iteration where we can see ourselves involved around the world. then thirdly, what do we make of the current set of strategies? one of the questions that was posed portrayed where we find ourselves in 2010 as somehow a new strategy. and i don't think we have a new strategy. i think we have a repackaging of in many ways a strategy that has existed since 2002. when ambassador khalilzad was the director of afghanistan at the national security council in 2002 prior to going off and becoming the ambassador, he was the principal author of a doc

joe robinson, the only woman who was ever, until last year, every serious contender for a nobel prize in economics. and he was at that time and saturated with stalin and nehru and he would soon be replaced by her devotion to knocking the most on. it amartya sen had stopped writing in the late 1960's, we would know him as one generation of indian developed economies to favored the neighbors formula that didn't work out very well in the hands, but around the team 70 amartya sen turned back to see what we can see now where his roots. and proceeded to produce a series of very startling philosophical papers that have culminated in the book that we are here tonight to talk about. you know that amartya sen is an economist as well as a philosopher and i should say that for a very long time his philosophical approach to economics and his use of economic reasoning in his philosophical work was considered decidedly suspect by the left as well as the right, by economists as well as philosophers. at one point the then chairman of the nobel prize committee told me sen will never get the price. well

robinson mentioned the interdisciplinary nature of the trust. and i am wondering how, or who on the group was responsible for providing historical expertise about the history of iraq? especially the pre-2003 history. most of the historians of iraq, i know, which stressed that the sunni-shia divide, the media blitz might have taken place after the invasion, but the deeper historical roots were very salient. so i'm interested to know about that. >> and a couple of questions on this site. >> i have -- can you give me? i have to question. one for tom and one for andrew. the first one is after your assessment is going of general petraeus, i would like to ask tom this first come if you think his activity is spread too thin and should he have state or should he go back if finish one job before he starts the second? at my second job is to into. and this deals with the veterans coming home. now, i wanted to know what priorty you think is given to these young men and women coming back to the united states when they come back with a positive attitude about

michael robinson for the second time in 10 years is being sued by the recording industry for this service. every time you upload something, you're making a copy. this is why copyright law, which was last seriously revised in 1976 is completely ridiculous in the digital age. there is a big case that was finally resolved earlier this year that had to do with cablevision wanting to do a network dvr. instead of having tivo with a hard drive, you click your remote and it would go to the cablevision servers and you would record in the cloud and cablevision would provide the movie or show just as if you had tivo. this was challenged all the way to the supreme court by a number of cable networks and the motion picture association of america. luckily, they lost in the second circuit and the solicitor general urged the supreme court not to take the case. but the cablevision case is not the end of these battles, it is the beginning. one of the arguments made by content holders was every time you click the button and cablevision made a copy, it made a copy that needed to be licensed. when they sent a

robinson mentioned the interdisciplinary nature.wonder who in the group was responsible for providing historical expertise about iraq, and especially the pre-2003 history. most of the historians of iraq would stress that the sunni-shiite divide, the deeper historical roots were very salient. i am interested to know about that. >> i guess the gentleman here and then here. >> can you hear me? >> i have two questions. one for thomas and one for andrew. the first is, after your assessment this morning of general petraeus, i would like to ask thomas first if you think his activity is spread too thib and -- thin and should he have stayed or should he go back and finish one job before he starts a second one. the second question is withdrew, and this deals with the young men and women coming home. i want to know -- i'm a retired teacher. we see a lot of the veterans in north carolina -- by the way, i'm bob macke. we see a lot of these young men and women and we talk to them. and we ask them what they thifment this is what we talked about ye

we will talk with him in a moment, but first nick robinson. >> the questions at the center of the crisiswhat did pope benedict know and when did he know about it and what did he do about it? >> we are seeing a global phenomenon and a system at work with the vatican at the center. >> questions that began two decades ago when the pope was known as cardinal ratzinger. he was called into allegations of abuse by a priest. >> he walked every bishop in the world, telling them every case of a priest who abused a child was to be referred to his department. >> they are defending the pope, praising his work after he took control of abuse cases. according to one of the vatican's top prosecutors, the cardinal showed great wisdom and firmness in dealing with the cases and he said he showed great courage dealing with the most difficult. therefore he said to accuse the pope of a cover up is false. the pressure just keeps mounting. newly released details are raising questions about the pontiff's judgment even before he came to rome, overseeing cases of abuse. in 1980 when the pope was a bishop in germany

mike montgomery has done an excellent job even though he lost theo robinson back in november and december i think kevin o'neill is a deserving candidate, not going to the pac-10 tournament and not eligible for the ncaa don't give that merit. >> steve: abwit the three. when he's ought, he gets brilliant. we saw him score 28 at arizona and he was absolutely on fire. >> p.j.: you see kevin o'neill looking across. he's telling marcus, you have to get into his air space. you can't give him open looks. make him get into the ball. >> steve: leonard washington now into the game. missing, no good. lockett and boateng there to pull it down. da jerren shipp played very well despite losing last week in california. >> p.j.: disappointing first half last week. >> steve: you're exactly right. they shot 52% in the first half. then, in the second half, they saw cal really tighten screws defensively. sun devils only shot 27% after the break. lockett, the freshman, on marcus johnson, the senior. shot clock down to nine. he swings it left. not a great shooter, misses. boateng has been averaging close to seve

there is a car wreck at the robinson terminal on the beltway. 395 traffic goes up to the 14th streetn side of town, let's look at traffic at the roosevelt bridge with a normal backup. southbound 270 in maryland that delays started montgomery village avenue and that will take you to the beltway. >>> great news today, it will be a nice day with a lot of sunshine already. it will be a little breezy. the wind gustshroughout the morning ended the afternoon will be high. 51 degrees in the district. there will be a lot of sunshine today with temperatures well into the 50's. it will be gusty in excess of 30 miles per hour parade increasing clouds tomorrow and when showers tomorrow evening into early friday. it will be cooler behind the next weather system friday through the weekend. >>> there could be big changes in the area of the white flint metro station. montgomery county has voted to turn that neighborhood into neighborhoods of apartment buildings, shops and more. we will see how they can pay for that. thank you for watc today, we know it's small businesses that can create the jobs amer

lisa robinson is not here today. >> we had a winter somewhere out of this world, but we are done with that. even those piles of snow. there are probably a couple out there in parking lots some place, but most of it is gone. let's look at what we're looking forward to next. all right. we have a storm out there. we were talking about this yesterday morning. it is still there. there is less snow involved in this storm now. the snow area has shrunk. we are in a bubble being protected by high pressure. it will take a while for that rain to work in. convenient tally -- eventually it will work its way in. we'll talk about that coming up. >> our big story comes out of baltimore city where two police officers were shot. it happened early this morning during a traffic stop. both officers were taken to shock trauma and that's where kerry cavanaugh joins us with the latest. >> it is quiet right now at shock trauma but it was a different scene a few hours ago when two baltimore city police officers were rushed to shock trauma suf

and right below it is a basic autographed by brooks robinson.so we have different forms of sanctity present in my study here. that's a hand-painted icon of the black madonna, the great marian image of poland and she keeps an eye on me as well. as does over here. this might be of interest. this is a representation of edith stein the jewish convert to catholicism who became a carmelite nun and was martyred in auschwitz and that's a relic and that's a part of the wedding dress she wore on her final profession as a carmelite. i got edith stein and the blessed mother and john paul ii and then two of my heroes archbishop john carol the first catholic bishop of the united states and father john courtney murray, the great jesuit theologian of freedom who appears to be tilting a bit here. maybe we can straighten father murray out. >> can i ask you about all these medals down here? >> well, some of these are awards that i've been given. some of them are just decorative. this is perhaps of interest. this is called the gloria artist gold medal it's given by

we are seeing in the old "lost in space "television show, danger, will robinson, danger, danger. just been building and building and building. i talked about the curve. what could bend that curve? the first thing -- when you talk to democrats and say, and they admit, there is no question whatsoever that this is really looking ugly for democrats. the only question is how bad is it. some of my friends in the political science world, they do not quite see the apocalypse for democrats that i do. my biggest competitor is between me and others. we are at varying degrees of how bad this thing is going and how awful it is for democrats. i am out wire -- an outlier here. but what could change things and save the democratic majorities? you would generally here two things. one is unemployment. unemployment getting verbetter. i am not going to talk about where unemployment is in front of a number of economists, without it getting better, it seems pretty dismal. while democrats will say, the question is not what the number is below what is the direction, it is the direction getting a lot bett

just to demonstrate a couple of points of progress, 2 million, 2.2 million fewer customer reported robinsonr in the last month from a year prior. we went from 87 or 84% at one time. by putting the guarantee in place, our employees even if it doesn't completely compensate the consumer, to your., our system nobody wants to report that they spent that money so we have gotten to 95% one time from 87% just by putting that insurance in place and that guarantee in place. there is momentum in this direction. i take your constructive points that they should be the main focus of what we have to do well. we have just recruited a new head of comcast cable and this is the number one thing in recruiting that i suggested we focus on which is continually improving the customer experience. >> thank you. i want to tank while the panels. i know we are going to leave the record open for two weeks and if we can respond to any statements in the record. thank you for your time. i'm sure this is going to be continued discussion. as you can see from my colleagues we are going to be following it closely, so the hear

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

. >> eugene robinson, you questioned tactics, you were disappointed along the way.t about the deafed costs? what -- deferred costs? >> what about the deferred payments on this? is that really going to work out? we are going to end up paying for this, or what's going to -- go ahead. >> you know, the reform is going to over time i suspect be reformed. and fine-tuned and tinkered with. i think this is more the start of a process unfortunately than the end of it. this isn't the be all, end all. there's some who think we won't revisit health care for a generation. i think we'll have to revisit health care because of some of those out-year costs. my bottom line all along has been that the greatest, richest nation in the world couldn't provide health care for 50 million of its citizens, that that was an outrage. that had always been an outrage and that had to be -- that had to be fixed. that we'd be a better nation when we decided that we wouldn't force families to go bankrupt because of illness or losing a job and losing health insurance. and i think we have -- i think th

scommoip in fact, eugene robinson, in his column in "the washington post," says forget about plain jane and says that any efforts to profile airline passengers, for instance, would be failures, and colleen larose is an example. guest: well, one thing he's right about is definitely having an american passport is definitely key to being able to travel overseas without engendering the same suspicious as you would engender if the a yemene se or other passport. i will say this, still 95% of the home grown jihadists still fit a certain type of profile. and while jihad jane did not because she was white, a white convert, 46 years old, she escaped that stereotype, but the other ones did not. and so profiling, which is a law enforcement technique that's gotten a dirty term, but used all the time, you look for the common denominator. so the common denominator last year of the 15, let's say holm grown spots were male between the ages of 19 and 36 and muslim. and that would be sort of a law enforcement profile. you would obviously include other factors such as the visit overeast, whether they went
