strategy and then immediately as you recall bringing all of the countries of the world together in the hague to basically put their stamp on it is -- was a powerful political move. to make everybody think about a strategy because the way it's been working in afghanistan frankly is that people think about what they want to do and then they mush it all together in a ball and try to call it a strategy. and really that is upside down. what we need to do is figure out what the strategy is and then figure out what needs to be done and figure out who is going to do it. there has been a little progress, but it needs to get, needs to get better and right now the holbrook team and mcchrystal team, there are still these review processes going. the strategy that came out is good, but thin. there are strategies being developed for each segment, for agriculture, for rule of law, for developing afghan national security forces. i think it is really not going to be until this fall that we start to see it all come into play because we have yet to direct the resources to all these strategys and once that is in

it's called the hague convention on child abduction. , as is the united states. >> where do you go? you are up against a brick wall. where do you think the break might come from? >> if i can get access to someone in the government who can exert some pressure on the italian authorities to do hitndng a trighthing and protect my son. my son needs my help. he is in a very traumatic situation right now. and he is in desperate need of my help. and i need help in order to help him. it's -- you know, that's the only thing i can see. if people will wiget behind thi cause, start writing their congressmen and senators, maybe that will help. but i think if it gets some attention and people understand what's happening, the way that the rights of this child are being ignored, then maybe we can get somewhere. >> michael mccarty, mr. segal, thanks for being here. that is one beautiful little boy. >>> here's lonnie with another check of the weather. >> thank you very much. good morning, everybody, out here. i understand i've got -- not necessarily newlyw

you have the right paper, you have an fbi warrant saying we should get him back the hague convention our side, how do you deal with the frustration? >> every day is a struggle. you wake up, there are good days, there are bad days and you get through it. i have an incredible support system abilitiability in with my family and friends and they call me up, check me to see how i'm doing. but it's not about how i'm doing. it's about how liam's doing. every day i'm worried about his safety and what's going through his mind and just this morning, before i came, i was trading e-mails with italy figuring where he is at this exact moment because everything shuts down for the month of august there. and the orphanage takes the kids away on vacation. he might have taken a vacation with family member. i'm not sure. >> let's look at the leaguealitileagueality -- legalities, we hear about this cases, italy decided thatt because the mother, manuela antonelli is an italian, found unfit and child has dual citizenship they'll keep the child as their own even though he has a father? >> apparently so, afte

statements at face value and i expect future nominees to the federal judiciary will conform to this new consensus articulated by judge sotomayor at her hagueher -- at her hearings and embraced in a bipartisan fashion by members of the judiciary committee. i have no question about the outcome of this vote on judge sotomayor but i regret for the reasons i stated because i cannot reconcile her previous statements with her testimony at the judiciary committee that i wish judge sotomayor well as she serves on the united states supreme court. i hope my concerns i have raised here and the uncertainty i have about what kind of justice she will be, she will prove those concerns unjustified by the way she distinguishes herself as a pen of the united states supreme court. i hope her tenure will strengthen the court and fidelity to the constitution. i congratulate her and loved le. mr. sessions: thank you, mr. president. when president obama nominated judge sotomayor to the supreme court i pledged we would treat her with respect and our questions would be tough but always fair. it's an important office. i believe we have lived up to that obligation. a
