closer to home rouhani promised to improve jobs.let's see how he has done halfway through his term. >> the election of moderate hasan rouhani in 2013 had iranians dancing in the streets. he had won on the promise he would priority prioritize iran's economy over it's in yo nuclear program. talks with the west had gone nowhere. by the end o mahmood ahmadinejad's term. >> in those eight years he brought huge damage to the iranian economy. >> but two years into rouhani's presidency, analysts say he has started to fix those problems in large part by reaching out to the west including a now famous phone call with the american president barack obama, the first direct contact between the two countries' leaders in three decades. >> i do believe there is a basis for a resolution. >> that resolution came in july when iran and six world powers led by the u.s. reached their historic nuclear deal. iran will forego pursuing nuclear weaponry and get billions in sanction relief without having to give up purs pursuing nuclear energy. >> it has been w

>> rouhani: it was predictable.sue of this significance cannot be resolved without its opponents. one is surprised by the commentaries, and the commentaries are not very pleasant. some groups and political parties may be against it, but the governments of the world, all together, welcomed this deal. >> kroft: opponents have argued that the u.s. has given away too much for very little in return from iran-- agreeing to lift the sanctions on iran in exchange for, what they call, a "temporary 15-year freeze" on nuclear operations, after which iran would be free to resume or begin work on a nuclear bomb, with far more resources than they have now. >> rouhani: if a country wanted, with the technical resources it has, to gain an atomic bomb, this deal would have been a very bad deal for it. because the deal creates limitations from all sides to getting an atomic bomb. but if a country has been after peaceful technology from the beginning, then it has lost nothing. we wanted this incorrect accusation-- that iran is after nu

rouhani will be here. we'll see if he rebukes which he hasn't done yet the so-called death to america. thank you so much. >> thank you. appreciate it. >> thanks to you both. >>> well, have you heard there's a super moon coming to a sky near you? we're going to find out when and where you can see it. janice dean will tell you coming up next. misswill turn anan asphalt parking lot into a new neighborhood for san franciscans. a vote for "yes" on "d" is definitely a vote for more parks and open space. a vote on proposition "d" is a vote for jobs. campos: no one is being displaced. it's 40% affordable units near the waterfront for regular people. this is just a win-win for our city. i'm behind it 100%. voting yes on "d" is so helpful to so many families in our city. >>> we are just hours away from tonight's supermoon, lunar eclipse. it is a rare double feature where a total lunar eclipse will share the skies with the supermoon. a combination not seen since 1982 and won't happen again until 2013. janice dean joi

nonetheless for president rouhani to have said that is probably the headline richelle. >> president rouhani denouncing terrorism and talking about democracy, also made the pivot to economic engagement, no surprise there either john. >> reporter: absolutely. this is what i believe the obama administration was hoping for when it went into this deal which is now part of the congress, it's a major piece of foreign policy and achievement of president obama. and i know that underlying all of it was that ultimately, this should, over the course of the next ten or 15 years, bng iran much more into the world community. and if president rouhani's words are to be believed, then he's saying that that process has at least started. we know there's a long way to go, a lot of issues could come up but that is a new tone coming from the president of iran in front of the general assembly on this, its 70th anniversary. >> patricia sabga does have some thoughts, your ear did perk up, often what it comes down to is a country's economy, people being able to get jobs, being engaged with the rest of the internation

so, good day for rouhani and that comment about the u.s. causing international terrorism gets him the hutzpah of the day award. >> what do you think president obama thinks after today's activities? first he spoke at the u.n. and then president putin. he met with president putin and then rouhani and putin met. what do you think president obama takes away from today? >> i think he believes it's another example of his successful foreign policy in producing american influence in the region. there is just no other explanation for what he is trying to do other than reduce our profile and the consequence, of course, is that power abhors a vacuum and putin and rouhani see an opportunity and they are moving to it exploit it that's what russia's new air base in syria is about. that's what the deal is with iraq. i don't like to kuehl it iraq. it's really the rump government in baghdad controlled by tehran. they are showing that they can put together an alliance as ours descent united descent great. >> the alliance being iran, iraq, syria and russia an

as rouhani headed out to jfk airport to fly back to iraq. i think with the signing of the deal, this is the moment. i'll be very surprised if the white house isn't working overtime to do it, and as assaye i think prime minister benjamin netanyahu would rather just not be part of that. >> and ambassador, what would the message be if indeed the president of the united states shakes hands with the president of iran, especially when you're considering there's still four americans being held by the iranian authorities? >> look, every indication we have is that president obama doesn't want to stop with this wretched vienna agreement on iran's nuclear weapons program. he wants to change the balance of power in the middle east. he thinks that if we can simply get a good relationship with iran that they will give up their nuclear weapons and become a responsible player in the middle east and around the world. i think it's delusional, but i think that's what the president wants, and i think that handshake could be important. the only question for me i

we saw president rouhani walking in. i know you've got some information you wanted to bring in just to talk about what we can expect to hear from him. i'm sure a lot of people are going to be paying attention to that because of what has happened with the iran nuclear deal. >> absolutely. this is going to be a very, very closely watched speech. really it's an opportunity for rouhani coming off the heels of the iran nuclear deal, but also with syria, so very high on the agenda and the fight against isil, so very high on the agenda. don't forget, there is iran insinuating itself in the fight against isil, both in syria and iraq, and if you combine that with the iran nuclear deal, rouhani really has an opportunity here to get the message out that really that iran can be a partner in the fight against isil, that really it's in the interests of the west and rest of the world to bring iran back into the fold of nations to work with iran and to help work with iran to advance other goals, even the u.s. can work with iran perhaps

it presents openings, because as we know, you know, hassan rouhani, the current president of iran, he was elected. it wasn't a fair election, but it was a competition among chosen candidates. it was fair to argue he was not the chosen candidate. it was the iranian people that turned out against the odds. they didn't listen and not go to the elections, but that allowed iran to enter negotiations with a president in the united states who wanted talks. >> if iran abides by assurances in the nuclear proliferation disal, or the hot stots calm down a little. if the relentless anti-rhetoric quietens down, tanks sanctions in place will be in place. in a year, when an american flag flies over an embassy in afghanistan, is it too soon to ask whether a chance exists for a better relationship between the u.s. and iran. iran's next move, it's "inside story". story". >>> welcome back to "inside story". i'm ray suarez. >> there are many, many pending issues between the united states and iran after decades of hostility between the two governments. as we look at the state of play between the two count

iran's president hassan rouhani addressed the same u.n. summit yesterday. he also sat down for an exclusive television interview with our chief international correspondent christiane amanpour. she joins me from new york. rouhani talked about possibly releasing an american journalist. what did he have to say? >> and he also talked about the war in syria, ref joos, religious persecution. he said about the russian movement into syria that putin told him about it and said he'd already told the obama administration. he also acknowledged that all sides now seem to believe that assad is going to stay for the foreseeable future in the fight against isis. but in this part of the interview we'll see, he spoke about the gop political reaction to the iran nuclear deal and he also did answer my question about whether we could see our colleague jason and other americans held in iranian prisons released anytime soon. >> translator: first of all, what is spoken of here in the united states of america sometimes when i would have time, some of it was broadcast live and i wou

his term in office has senior negotiator has not managed to rouhani's team has done so.his. we must look beyond only the deal. this is also about which direction will iran take. we are looking at a very divided middle east and weakened saudi arabia, at problems across the region, and iran being the only stable state. for 37 years iran has opposed the united states because of its ideology. people have a feeling this ideology should be corrected, that maybe the hate towards the united states must be lowered down, that the great satan should be a lesser satan maybe. this will have consequences because will iran cooperate with the united states in the region? that is what the current debate is really about. because the nuclear deal, i think iran will accept that. >> karim, let me give you my thought and tell me if it's right. at the end of the day they'll pass this deal because rouhani is the most popular figure in iran it seems to me from what i'm reading. there's enormous sense of hope and expectation. for that hope to be dashed to be shattered by the rejection of this dea

the secretary general met with iranian president hassan rouhani today at the u.n. rouhani is an ally of syrian president bashar al-assad, and is backing rebels fighting the government in yemen. u.s. secretary of state john kerry met with iran's foreign minister today, also to discuss syria and yemen, and the pending deal for iran to curb its nuclear program in exchange for economic sanctions relief. president obama and president rouhani both address the u.n. monday but have no plans to meet. thousands of migrants to europe are stuck in a no-man's land between croatia and serbia. the migrants, many of them syrian refugees, are camped out in fields between the two countries, which both border hungary. since hungary built a fence along its border with serbia two weeks ago, more than 40,000 migrants have entered croatia from serbia. 3,000 migrants transported by croatia were admitted to today to hungary, but hungary is now building a fence along its border with croatia, too. u.s. defense secretary ash carter has approved returning guantanamo detainee shaker aamer, a sa

and russian president is due to speak soon, and after that, iran's president rouhani. i want to bring in foreign global affairs correspondent elise labott and also our correspondent jim. and let's go right there. >> translator: we have talks that direct our common future. in 1945, the countries that defeated nazism laid foundation the force the post world war d order, but let me remind you that the key decisions on the principles regarding the states, and the establishment of the united nations were made in our country in yalta at the anti-hitler coalition leaders. the yalta meeting was borne at the cost of tense of millions of lives and two world wars, and this is what greeted the planet at the turn of the century. and be fair, it helped the humanity through turbulent and dramatic event ises of the last seven decade, and helped the world through upheavals of large scale. the united nations is unique in its legitimacy, representation, and universality. it is true that lately the u.n. has been widely criticized for not supposedly sufficient enough and for the fact that

. >> iranian president hassan rouhani called for saudi officials to be tried in international court for what it called a crime after thursday's stampede caused one of the deadliest i wants in the h a, jj in decades. >> i express my deep condolences to the many families who are mourning the loss of their loved ones in this event and investigate the causes of this incident and other similar isn't incidents in this year's hajj. >> president rouhani called it heartrending. iranian officials say that saudi arabia authorities blocked a road to allow a royal convoy to come through causing the disaster. it's a charge that saudi officials deny. >> this incident is absolutely prosecutable according to international law. saudi authorities have ordered a review, calling the disaster fate. completing the hajj one of the pillars of islam attract 2 million to 3 million faithful every year. there have been devastating disasters in the past. nearly 1500 were killed in a stampede in 1990. thursday's stampede comes two weeks and a construction crane killed 100 people. people would complete the hajj on sat

president rouhani walk by.re waiting for president putin, who's coming in in the next 20 minutes. maybe that was the time it avoid president obama. i think it will be interesting, will he be in the audience, i'm not so sure, to hear president obama. wolf? >> it's interesting, almost 200 world leaders here at the united nations right now. security is pretty tight here in new york city. >> as richard alluded to, it's always interesting to see who's going to be in the audience to to listen and what diplomatic signal that sends. we're here with jim and michelle. stand by because we're bringing in our panelist, bobby, managing editor, and mike rogers and cnn political correspondent, dan pfeiffer. if i might just go to mike rogers, who was the chairman of the house intelligence committee first, given the importance of intelligence matters, war and peace, and particularly syria, wonder if we could get your perspective on what we think the result of these two major speeches from president obama and president putin on t

rouhani ifr is exercising more influence on regional issue than anyone else. and also this is not something that qasem soleimani would do, only report to the supreme leader and to make the decision, or soleimani by itself makes the decision. it is not the case. basically will be discussed and debated and finally make a decision. to the supreme leader has the authority legally to veto the decisions, but normally i can almost a 98% of the time he would support the decision which has been made by the supreme national security council. it is not a one man show. zarif was a negotiated. he was not making the decision. the decisions about the right length, what is acceptable, what is not acceptable, those decisions have made somewhere else. not in the foreign ministry. >> i could not agree more. i will share with you recent conversation i had with a senior rouhani official about this false dichotomy. he said the iranians are incredibly smart. they show the world that is actually a dichotomy in views between practice. but in practice everyone is working harmoniously.

i even put together some numbers when it comes to rouhani's election, 50.8% of the people voted for rouhani. 72% turnout, 52%. the second closest individual was tehran's mayor at 16%. that, i think, really shows the population's kind of aligning with the fact that they no longer want to be isolated. they don't -- they want to be a world player. they want to travel freely. they want to be able to send money to their relatives abroad. they want to be able to study abroad. if they are abroad, they want to be able to freely go back to their country without worrying about visa issues. so these are kind of at the street level there are issues that the population is dealing with. and they are certainly hoping for the situation to change following the deal. and i think, more or less, i agree with you. 15 years, i am shocked that it just gets dismissed. oh, it's only 15 years. that is a long time. if you think about it. if you review some of the statements made, and my colleagues is correct me, the best estimates was two to five years if iran is attacked that the program is going to be held back. if

shinzo abe met with rouhani during the summit. abe praised the agreement that the six world powers reached in july with iran. they will work to expand economic ties wi tehran. he plans to help japanese companies invest in iran. rouhani recognized previous cooperation with japan in the energy sector. he said he wants both countries to collaborate in other areas, including transport and medicine. >> global leaders are prepared to address what they see as the world's pressing issues. they will take part in the general debate that begins monday. >> reporter: here at the u.n. some heavy weights of the asia pacific region will be delivering their speeches on the first day. that will deserve our attention. u.s. president obama will make his seventh speech. he's expected to speak on the middle east and the fight against extremists like the islamic state, and most likely address the pressing refugee crisis. over the last year, the obama administration has struck two significant deals with countries that have been considered foes of the u.s

president rouhani expressed confidence that the deal will be approved. >> translator: the majority of people in opinion polls have a positive view of the agreement, and usually institutions like the parliament and the supreme national security council are usually not far removed from public opinion and move in that direction. >> reporter: you've been very temperate in your statements about these negotiations. you have been trying to encourage a sense of goodwill between the united states and iran. but some of this and some of the success has been undercut by very harsh statements from both sides. since the deal the ayatollah khamenei has endorsed, even praised the chanting of "death to america" and "death to israel" at the friday prayers by demonstrators. and he continues to call the united states the great satan. do you believe the united states is the great satan? >> translator: the enmity that existed between the united states and iran over the decades, the distance, the disagreements, the lack of trust will not go away soon. what's important is which direction we are heading. are

but we have rouhani in iran.visit these two factors facilitated them. the last factor was a regional issue. from syria -- from lebanon to syria and lebanon and also in afghanistan. we need to pay attention to these issues and they are far more important. so we thought the regional issues if they want to reduce the presence in the region and pay more attention to east asia, they don't want iran to be disappointed. they will explore everything possible. >> bilal, i want to add to harlan's question in terms of recommendation. we've heard a lot of talk about israel compensating for gcc for the iran deal as though it is somehow detracting from their security rather than adding to it. my question is whether the provision of more sophisticated weaponry of upper busting bombs and whatnot to israel in particular, but also gcc will simply increase iran's threat perception and have the reverse effect to cause the kind of arms race and more conflict in the region. >> i couldn't agree with you more. we are what we are, but th

hassan rouhani added this... >> as we aided the establishment of democracy in iraq and afghanistan, we are prepared to help bring about democracy in syria as well as yemen. >> the real business here takes place away from the chamber, this is a former lunch with the secretary-general of the united nations sitting between the russian leader. >> vladimir putin and president obama held a meeting to discuss the situation in syria and ukraine. after 4.5 years of war in syria - this is the first push in 18 months since the collapse of peace talks in geneva. everyone knows a fresh effort to end the conflict will face huge hurdles >>> meanwhile, the u.s. president has chaired a u.n. peacekeeping summit. the u.s. contributes few peacekeepers, but pays for a quarter of the budget. it is funding from missions that are needed more than ever. gabriel elizonda has this report. >> reporter: from south sudan to haiti, the strain on the united nations peace-keeping troops has never been greater. the u.s. says they need more support, and at a special summit president obama took the first step. >> largest

>> you have differences in iran and i'm sure rouhani tends to be more open on these things. the supreme leader is pretty consistently hard-line and i would take him at his word, what he said today, no more negotiations. the parliament leader said also, don't expect too much, you might expect some economic reforms or social or political reforms, that iran was willing to open up to united states in other ways. he is very much a conservative. rouhani is open for many things but he is facing the hard liners, there are a lot of divisions in iran and nobody is willing to go out on a limb and say this is going to be a a completely differently avenue that we're going to take. >> greg thank you for the insight, we appreciate it. >>> the refugee crises facing europe, the head of the european commission made an impassioned plea today, taking care of the hundreds of thousands of refugees that have arrived this year. not everyone is on board with the plan. jacky rowland has more from strassburg. >> another weary groupe group as being greece and macedonia. for the commission president the

and i was thinking that it is two years ago when you had the first phone call between president rouhanind president obama which led to the remarkable agreement which at the time was farfetched, and could this meeting today lead to p progresz on the ground in syria. and god knows that there are so many obstacles between today and there, and we have seen it before, and listening to the voices today, i have to say that there is a lot between today and getting to the outcome. >> and michelle, you have heard the president say that the preference is diplomacy, and he took a full lap of the diplomatic cuba deal that was achieved through diplomacy and not warfare, if you will. >> yes, this is what the president was saying, and a forum for the president to make the case for di ploem circumstances and even when there does not seem to be a case for it. and of course sh, they want to highlight the gains, and what you are not hearing is the u.s. plan for syria, and the plans that are not going so well sh, then you have putin with the plan, and you can see the gulf between the two leaders and the gul

honey -- rouhani has arguably been more powerful than anybody else. whether one of them by themselves makes his decisions. that is not the case. basically, it will be discussed and they will finally make a decision. though the supreme leader has the authority legally to veto normally hes, but will support the decision that supreme made by the national security council. it is not a one-man show. rif is a negotiator. -- bilal: i could not agree more. i will share with you a recent conversation i had with a senior rouhani official. the iraniansian -- are incredibly smart. they show i get economy of views between practice and the figures, but in practice, everyone is working so harmoniously, he said. perhaps not as well, but within a system so -- but not with any system so fractured that the world would like to believe. mrs. hassan from pakistan. i am a journalist. is caps on from pakistan. i am a journalist. i have a question for nasser. fear in the middle east that it will fuel an arms race in the region. tantamount toalso recognizing iran as a nuclear

president rouhani would only have a limited influence in a state dominated by the supreme leader and the revolutionary guard and homey me with an amazing ability for a consistent the western politicians can only dream of. never wavered in his detestation it can tempt for the existence of the state of israel or beliefs about the purity of the islamic revolution the cultural crud and critics are on the half joking when i say he's more afraid of donald's. nor has president rouhani's administration brought in his pipe or the people appeared iran was the wrote leader in executions. we take for granted and their families continues her mindlessly and the western media seem curiously detached from or in different two the plight of their savagely rep last. iran remains a sponsor of state terrorism providing financial, logistical and material support to islamist terror groups across the region including those who targeted her addition american forces in afghanistan. it's just not possible, nor is it responsible to see iran's nuclear ambitions outside the context of his support for terror proxi

rouhani?ink russia is a broad challenge to our interests in many different places, in ukraine. >> when it comes to the iran deal, though, who is it? who do you think is -- he's talking about the pending iran deal. they talked about that. >> right. >> so who do you think has more of an issue to deal with when it comes to this particular thing? >> to the -- to syria? >> yes. >> i mean, at the end of the day, i think we need to engage both iran and russia on syria. and, you know, the various syrian parties themselves. i do think that we can create leverage. i don't think it's impossible. i think that the aim has to be some kind of a cease-fire in which assad is transitioning out. but to get that, you need to create some leverage, perhaps with a no fly zone and you need to have the u.s. government engaged. >> is this possible? is that feasible to have the -- >> i don't know. you know? but it's worth trying. the trajectory we're on right now is we're going to see the same street to street fighting

these efforts led to the election of president rouhani and culminated in the democratic process that produced the plan of action. the women and men of my office have worked incredibly hard over the past decade to build and enforce these measures and combat every effort to circumvent them. even now as we prepare to defend our sondary nuclear sanctions, should iran fulfill its commitments, we are simultaneously readying a battery of sanctions against iran's activity outside of the nuclear file. if human rights of bruce is abuse is inside, we will do so. thisll be building pressure in close cooperation with our partners in europe, israel and the gulf. successes would have been possible without strong bipartisan support from the house and senate and members and staff of this committee in particular. if confirmed, i intend to build upon close relationships we have enjoyed with this committee and take on the pressing challenges ahead. i can also commit to you that if confirmed i will not rest. i sit every morning to read the latest intelligence and the threat we face are serious. we need t

is there any daylight between president rouhani and the supreme leader when it comes to this deal? guest: it is hard to judge. you get into the realm of criminology, as we would call it in the cold war. i do not know what is going on in the backdoor meetings between the president and the supreme leader. there is nothing in iranian media indicating that they do not see i die on this. i think what they differ on is something that might be a consequence out of this deal. president rouhani has won an election on a platform of promising better relations with the united states, and the supreme leader, in several speeches, has made clear that for him, the nuclear deal is a one-off, and should not lead to any form of relations with the united states. he was everything to remain as it is. i think the tension between the two will be the subject of the coming years. host: before we let you go, how much of iranians been following on back-and-forth of efforts capitol hill? guest: i think a lot of iranians have believed in something they call a lobby. there are people outside of the -- the zioni

rouhani, they said, is not even deserve to be on the u.n. stage. >> hopefully it will show that we are against the president of iran and we're not in any way supporting him, and it will show that the united states should also support our organization instead of supporting terrorist organizations like the regime of iran. >> reporter: as rouhani spoke, u.s. diplomats left the general assembly chamber. if this was a bar, that's like getting get punch in the face. >> let's turn to william taylor now, former u.s. ambassador to ukraine and the coordinate for of u.s. assistance to former soviet union and eastern europe and now the executive vice-president at the u.s. institute of peace, an independent nonpardon partisan institute working to manage international conflict without violence. russia getting together with iraq to fight in syria against isis. you're take on -- your take on this. >> my take is president putin is looking for a way to change the subject. as you mentioned earlier on, the real issue for president putin is how to get out of the

. >> president rouhani is up next after the south korean president finishes her speech. i was one of the journalists who met with him on friday morning, and he said that he would not agree to a prisoner exchange, per se, for jason and the other three americans there, but he said while he doesn't have control over the judiciary, maybe through services, we could talk about some arrangement. is there the possibility of a prisoner swap of some sort for iranians that they want back for our four americans? you're the man who arranged to get allen gross out of cuba. you can perform miracles with the help of pope francis. >> i needed the pope for that one. the fact of the matter is it's a different situation. with respect to the swap we did with the cubans, we had intelligence involved. it was a traditional exchange. >> is something afoot? >> what's afoot is we've been direct with them in every discussion we've had. vienna, geneva and here in new york, about the need to see the americans released. we believe their detentions are unjust. frankly, we believe it would send a good g

how advanced iran's nuclear program had become and where it was headed when presidents of obama and rouhani launched the diplomatic process that concluded this past july. septemberago, in 2013, we were facing in iran that had already mastered the new field -- the nuclear fuel cycle, already stockpiled enough enriched uranium that, if further enriched, could arm 10 to 12 bombs. enrichingas already uranium to the level of 20%. which is just below weapons grade. and in iran that had already installed 10,000 plus centrifuges and in iran that was moving rapidly to commission a heavy water reactor able to produce enough weapons grade plutonium for an additional twoer to a year -- bomb or a year. that, my friends, is where we were when we already began our negotiations. a well remembered moment the previous fall, israeli prime minister netanyahu had held up a cartoon of a bomb to show just how dangerous iran's nuclear program had become. and in 2013, he returned to that podium to warn that iran was positioning itself "to rush forward to build nuclear bombs before the international community can de

and we'll watch the news and if you would like to watch more of the president rouhani's speech go to fox nows opinion com. >>> iran will keep occupied our next president who ever that person might be be. new fox polls are spelling trouble for hillary clinton. 38 percent favorably. and she is losing support on women. they have a negative view of the former secretary of state. we'll bring in a b stoodard and charlie hill columnist for the washington times. ab, hillary clinton losing support and only half of the women support her? or have a favorable view of her? pretty astounding numbers, aren't they? >> this kind of te teriation of her approval which is happening consistently and suddenly in the summer months has to be alarming for the clinton campaign. women are turning away from her because they believe her e-mail situation have turned out not to be true. trustworthy numbers are bad and she is a well known figure. when you are not known it is one thing. but totally known and they have negative views and associate you with dishonesty it is hard to turn around. and particularly in the

if anybody took the time to read rouha rouhani's memoirs. the reform prime minister of iran, rouhani brags in his memoirs that he fooled us twice before. he brags about it! [ laughter ] i -- it's astounding to me that we -- that we're trusting him and then we're giving them 24 days which, by the way, as a lawyer having read the agreement i can probably extend into six months because you can appeal and it's not us that raises the objection, it's the iaea. who got fooled twice before -- actually three times before i'm trying to figure out what we're getting out of this. we're getting out of this the promise that they're not going to become nuclear for so 10 or 15 years. if you believe that, there is a bridge right here here i'm willing to sell you. so as a deal maker teaching deal making 101, guii would give us "f." but that's no different than our reset of our relationship with russia when we gave up the nuclear defense of the czech republic and poland. and what did we get in return for it? how about nothing? i would not sell my house for not
