perhaps when four terrorists from an organization attacked officers at the leonardo davinci airport in romeand several people were killed and many more wounded that would have been a clue that someone was at war with us. it might have been a clue in an explosion at the nightclub in berlin frequented by american soldier, that two u.s. soldiers were killed and 191 individuals were wounded, including 41 u.s. soldiers, an they saw the evidence indicated libya was involved, that that would have been a clue. . in 1988, another abduction by hezbollah, backed by iran and hezbollah later claimed they killed colonel higgins. so who were alive back in the 1980's, after libya had sponsored terrorism, president reagan realized you got to deal with these people in a manner they understand. we sent planes to libya. they bombed his home and we didn't have any more trouble out of libya for a number of years. but if you come up to 1991, there were two car bombings that killed a us air force sergeant, wounded in istanbul and the turkish islamic jihad claimed responsibility. february, 1993, a massive van bomb

there's no part of europe as london, paris, rome, or berlin.pe stretching from the atlantic to the europe. it is a concept i share. i am strongly in favor of the free movement of people and capital in the 12 countries, which make up the union, but i have no confidence in presumed superior wisdom of the commission in brussels as compared with the judgment of this elected house of commons. recent events have reinforced that view. if we look forward to the day, as i do, when the whole of the european family can share in that freedom and democracy of which we entered, then the long term the enlargement of the community is more likely to come about if the nation state of the 12 do not succumb to the halting ambitions of the super naturalist. mr. speaker, i also welcome the commitment to defeat terrorism in northern ireland, in great britain, and in europe. we often send a message from this place to friend and foe alike that our resolve would never weakened. and that their campaign of terror is as odious as it is the top. tourism flourishes were thos

. >> host: rome, georgia, eric on democratic line, good morning. >> caller: thank you. let me bring this issue back to training and republicans. if this crash ever happened, basically this would have best thing for china and republicans. people at top of cia or people at top when george bush and dick cheney in office. obama must remove these people. not the political appointees, but people who are at the top. cia deliberately loud this to happen. this is what the republicans, and dick cheney have been talking about, they have been setting up planning. no one has been killed from outside attack on united states since obama was president. bush and cheney they failed at this. basically what the question is this, who would benefit from this attack? thank you? >> guest: again, sort of political point on this is just something that, i try to stay away from and i, you know, it doesn't really what the central question is to me. i mean, sort of what the political implications are of a terrorist attack is sort of the irrelevant given the, real, the kind of trauma that would have

i feel like rum was not built in, and i know that everybody -- rome was not built in a day, i know that everybody is in patient come up with a time, things can be turned around, and i believe that your intentions are really hon. in that. >> i appreciate that. >> i am a single mother of three and i have issues that are important to me. one is that i have a 3-year-old who just turned 3 who got lead poisoning last year and almost died. i called everyone, including the epa of ohio, and i cannot seem to get any response to this. >> well, guess what? i guarantee you that somebody from the epa is going to call you in about -- [laughter] in about five minutes -- [applause] before you sit down, there is going to be a phone call from the epa. all joking aside, i know you have the same question, but i want to focus on this -- lead poisoning, a lot of it from lead paint from older homes, all across the country in the midwest, is something that we have to be more aggressive on. this is something that i worked on when i was a u.s. senator, when i was as state senator. i am working on it as president,

the very skills that are needed today so that there may be tremendous increase in rome and ratios, but quality of what happens in the classroom, the quality of the teaching, the development of the skills that are needed for the 21st entry. that's what needs to change. and it's not simply to in gaza. it's true throughout the region. >> i am the new director of the center here in d.c. as daniel mentioned, we are now engaged in a project of distributing video cameras for the west bank and gaza. this is probably the only way israelis these days are saying what's going on there. my question is to mr. whitley. as an israeli who just moved here, of course, i truly am worried about israeli security. i believe that the siege as was said here on the stage, is not helping israeli security, but i would like, if you make elaborate a bit about the alternative of how monetary or control regime would be in the gateway to gaza from israel look like. >> thank you. this is a very practical question. the mechanisms by which there could be control of the crossing points through international monitors in th

that moscow, warsaw, prague, budapest -- he made no mention of leipzig, as london, brussels, paris, rome, or berlin. dr. cole was echoing general demill's famous concept stretching from the atlantic to the euros. it's a concept which i share. i am strongly in favor of the free movement of people, birds and capital in the 12 capitals that make up the community. but i have no confidence in the presumed superior wisdom of the commission in brussels as compared with the judgment fallible though it is, of this elected house of commons. recent events released in europe have reinforced that view. if we look forward to the day as i do when the whole of the european family can share in that freedom and democracy which we enjoy, then the long term enlargement of the community is more likely to come about if the nation states of the 12 do not succumb to the vaulting ambitions of the super nationalists. mr. speaker, i also welcome the commitment to the gracious people to defeat terrorism in northern ireland. in great britain. and in europe. we ought to send a message from this place to friend and fo
