>> yes. >> smith: what will happen?> if they happen and the situation is the way it is, it will be disaster-- massacre of people, bloodbath, disintegration of power, fragmentation of authority. >> smith: why should america stay here and sacrifice the lives of its young indefinitely? >> why did they come here? they came here for three distinct objectives: defeat al qaeda; make the taliban irrelevant; create a viable afghan state. if those objectives are achieved, good. >> smith: how long is that going to take? >> how long did it take to defeat communism? >> smith: 50 years. >> so, they can reconcile with al qaeda. it's up to them. >> smith: america is losing interest. >> if they lose interest and they withdraw, i have no influence to stop it. none of us have any influence to stop it. >> smith: but? >> there will be disaster. and history has seen many disasters. >> next time on frontline... >> they still had iraq inside of them. >> i didn't even want to come home. >> you took a broken soldier and you sent him back. >> i d

>> good evening, michael smith, planning department's staff. the proposal is a construction of a three story horizontal addition at the rear of a single-family dwelling within an rh-1 district. it was granted a rear yard variance. the variance request was opposed by the d.r. request youors and appealed, but the decision was upheld. there are three adjacent neighbors, two neighbors nearby, and the neighborhood association. the d.r. requestor is concerned it would impact their privacy and noise, that there would be noise impact from these as well into adjacent rear yards and the amount of encroachment has been granted through the rear yard variance is unprecedented for this district and this neighborhood and violates the residential design guidelines. to address their concerns, the d.r. requestor wanted to be reduced by 5.5 feet. on the overhead, just walking through the project quickly, this is the matching study that you all have received a new commission package. this is the one with the most detail, the subject building. this is uphill, to th

smith, and it goes to washington. i was -- i'm a little aplewsed by the suggestion -- amused by the suggestion that the senator from iowa made and others made that the senate is paralyzed over the years. most are concerned about what the senate did rather than didn't do. it's hard to say you are paralyzed when you passed a health care law and financial regulation law, ect., ect., and insofaras, here's been airful to say holding things up. we didn't have a budget last year. most households have to have budgets. we ought to have one. why didn't we have a budget? why didn't republicans? as the senator from iowa said, under our rules, it only takes 51 votes to pass a budget, and during the last couple years, the democrats had 59 or 60 votes, so it was -- the reason we didn't have a budget is because they didn't want to pass a budget, or at least they didn't pass a budget. it had nothing to do with the senate being "broken." the senator from iowa made this proposal with modifications in it, but basically this proposal in 1

smith who was on dialysis, or mr. fields whose mother couldn't get dental care, i know they would question why we're taking away their rights. today we stand before this body, we beg of them to ask themselves whether this is all about politics or about the american people. i'm prepared to stand, extend a hand of friendship. standing on the constitution to enable us to provide for all of the citizens of this country. this bill has been vetted, this bill is constitutional and it protects the constitutional rights of those who ask the question, must i die, must my china child die because i am now -- child die because i am now disallowed from getting insurance? this is about your primary care doctor. this is about closing the doughnut hole that will allow you to be able to get discounts on your prescription drugs that some of you have avoided because you have to pay your rent and you have to buy your food. texas, a big state, has already said through a governmental agency, we need this bill. and we hope that those who com

smith. mr. smith: mr. speaker, i yield myself two minutes. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized for two minutes. mr. smith: i support this legislation that repeals the democrats' job stifling, cost increasing, freedom limiting health care law. this bill would repeal a requirement that every individual buy a certain kind of health insurance. the congressional research service confirms that the federal government has never forced all americans to buy any good or service until now. this mandate violates congress' powers under the commerce clause of our constitution of limited federal powers means anything. it's a major reason to repeal the health care bill. one particularly costly part of our health care system is the practice of so-called defensive medicine which occurs when doctors must conduct tests and prescribe drugs that are not medically required because of the threat of lawsuits. taxpayers pay for this wasteful, defensive medicine which adds to health care costs. the democrats' health care law goes exactly the wrong direc
