oh the blockade i think it is in spanish i mean they are able to unite the people against the united states and reaffirm the legitimacy however they define it because of the bar go i mean it seems so nonsensical what why doesn't the united states just flood the place with dollars ok i mean just say hey forget it and then most likely there would be political change there the embargo maintains the status quo that's one interpretation anyway go ahead and go. well quite quite frankly if the embargo was lifted and people started travelling back and forth you begin to have the exchange of ideas you've been to have the plantings of seeds of democracy we saw this historically happen in eastern europe we saw this already happen in bringing down the top the top redeemed so wide i'm sorry i mean you are in a bar go i believe i believe i am i am i thought i let you finish your i let you finish your thought let me finish mine i strongly believe that the reason we maintain an embargo in this country is because it benefits certain cubans in politics and in business to maintain this hatred towards this oth

i'd like to go to you in dubai that's a very good point a different agenda i mean of course the united states and pakistan have mutual interest on a number of things but not on everything i mean a lot of people within the even the political establishment in pakistan which are saying that the united states with its policies is infringing upon the sovereignty of pakistan and it's extremely unpopular and there are charges pakistan will just go so far in dealing with the taliban within its own territory and its access to afghanistan so not a perfect relationship are far from perfect. i think i think on it all is correct there but what the problem that pakistan and the us have between them is the perception of what pakistan sees of the honest on becoming ones the u.s. does leave pakistan does not obviously feel comfortable with the administration in charge and what they're looking forward to is having a pakistan friendly government in charge which obviously denies india the space that it currently enjoys undercurrent in india which pakistan sees as you know this destabilizing factor as far as the

in their mind with respect to helping the united states locate osama bin laden if in fact he's still alive. the other thing is we have to be concerned that wherever we send our troops that united states occupation fuels insurgencies. this is why we've had the casualties in iraq. this is why we've had casualties in afghanistan. it's why if we continue to expand our footprint in pakistan why there will be more u.s. casualties there and the final thing is that i want to answer my friend -- and i will yield him time in a minute -- you mentioned vietnam. prior to the end of the vietnam war in 1964 u.s. military advisors had been in and around south vietnam for a decade. as the government of south vietnam grew weaker, the number of military advisors grew in number. the u.s. poured billions of dollars in u.s. aid -- the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman's time has expired. mr. kucinich: i yield myself another minute. the speaker pro tempore: the gentleman is recognized. mr. kucinich: the u.s. point of order billions of dollars into vietnam propping up the increasingly weak government and ex

they come to the united states. on average, there is about 450,000 immigrants coming into the united states illegally every single year, and they are coming because there are jobs for them, so it is an economic problem for all. it is an economic problem and requires an economic solution. mexico right now, and i have to say that, is not interested in stopping that, because what are they going to do with these 900,000 new workers every single year without a job? i am sorry. it is something that has to be dealt with with both governments. the united states thinks that they can do with immigration alone, by themselves. it is not possible. they have to deal with mexico on this issue. >> you have had lively discussions from time to time. here is a little bit of a lively excerpt from lou dobbs, back and forth, which happened after lou dobbsleft cnn. >> i mentioned what word? >> president barack obama, john mccain, newt gingrich, they have stopped using the word "illegal immigrants" or "illegals." can you change that now? >>

the world. united states. after years of watching companies build things overseas, it is good to attract companies here to america. in the short term, construction will create approximately 1600 jobs in arizona. what is more, or 7% of the components and products used in construction -- over 70% of the components and products used in construction will be made here in the united states. once completed, it will be the first large-scale solar plant to store energy generates for later use, even at night. it will generate enough clean and renewable energy to power 70,000 homes. the second company manufactures advanced solar panels, creating more than 2000 construction jobs and 1500 permanent jobs. the colorado plant is already under way. an indiana plant will be built in what is now and the chrysler factory. when fully operational, they will produce millions of state of the art solar panels each year. these are just two of the many clean energy investments in the recovery act. already, i have seen the payoff of these

young powerful mexicans don't have a job, they come to the united states. every single year we have an average. the numbers have declined lately but on average there's 450 thousand immigrants come together the united states illegally every single year and there's jobs for them. it's an economic problem. it's an economic problem that requires an economic solution. mexico right now, and i have to say that is not interesting in stopping that. what are they going to do with these 900 thousand new workers every single year without a job. >> it's something that has to be dealt with, with both governments the united states thinks that they can deal with immigration alone by themselves and it's not possible. they have to deal with mexico on this issue. >> you mix up lively discussion and here's little exert from lieu dobs back and forth that happened after lou dobs left cnn. >> you insist on calling on undocumented immigrants illegal aliens. >> no. >> you just mentioned that. >> no. please. >> president barack obama, john mccain, newt gingrich they've stopped using

we passed caf to all the free trade agreements it was so that people of corporations based in the united states could escape all the kinds of regulations and all the kinds of labor laws that exist within the united states it's the illegals themselves who cause trouble as well as the businesses i mean business is not innocent here business is cost and the american taxpayer billions of dollars through skirting labor laws locally said reverend reverend how do you respond oh i get i want on a car going just to semantically question one is i don't call anyone a legal because there is no human being that is illegal they may be undocumented get a etc etc but it's a theological point if you don't understand theological point of view then i guess that's why it's because i don't have a reverend if you haven't already what you're talking about in terms of their anti immigrant for is a new word for racism and what you're really talking about are keeping people in the shadows so that people can continue to be manipulated by corporate entities and you never look at the kinds of international policies that th

our face because what has happened is citizens of foreign countries have invaded my country the united states of america in which i have jurisdiction even in the days when i was a slave i was on the jurisdiction of the united states and these folks are coming to my country in the name ironically of people of color my color skin color and the civil rights of legacy equating their struggle or whatever the suffering in mexico but the mother salvador career. their struggle is not to be equated with the struggle of my enslaved ancestors and emancipated forefathers for them to come into my country and take my legacy is to rob me of everything that i am and if they get amnesty then black people in this country we will die because of the numbers that are coming in this country to the to the twisting of the fourteenth amendment well i think it is right to the. somebody suggesting that there are many injustices that are experienced by african-american society that need to be addressed i think is fundamentally wrong. to suggest that has something to do with unauthorized immigrants being in the united st

third, to continue on with the security alliance with the united states. in any school -- any pool -- newspaper reporters here, or television -- people choose this third option, to continue with the alliance with the united states, first because japanese still remember the world war ii experience. they do not think that the capability would bring in peace and stability in the region. second, people think that in view of the situation, we cannot just leave it to and have no alliance. third, if you have the alliance, united states is seen as the most credible partner with principles and capability. so japan has continued to ally -- depend on the alliance with the united states. but japanese think that the u.s. presence in the asia- pacific and japan is indispensable. we are grateful to the service of women and men in uniform of this country. although i have to make two preconditions. one is that both the u.s. government and japanese government will continue the effort to lessen the burden of the bases. this is a treaty obligation. we will have a basis, but we

have already left the united states. some of those children were probably born in the united states so they would be entitled to stay here because they are american citizens. my understanding is the government basically expects all the children to leave the united states and within their parents. >> woodruff: so again the ten who had been arrested in the u.s. have pled guilty to what? >> to charges as i understand it of conspiring to fail to register as foreign agents with the justice department. but not to charges of espionage. >> woodruff: not to spying. now tell us some more, mark hosenball about the four who were imprisoned in russia. >> well, the neither the u.s. government nor russian government to my knowledge has officially identify these people. there is a list of four people who might be part of this spy swap deal which appeared in a russian newspaper today and also appeared on the bbc. it's my understanding that at least one of the names on this list is inaccurate but as i understand at least one of the people

and if we do too much at the behest of the united states, the u.s. uld leave us in the lurch and walk away again. >> charlie: that's the pakistani fear right there, isn't it -- that the united states might walk away and you will have backed the wrong horse and you are in trouble? >> it's one of the many, many concerns but the biggest concern is the united states can actually leave projects incomplete -- it has happened in the past. u.s. assistance and economic aid has been suspend -- u.s. assistance and aid has been suspended arbtraely and at short notice and things have been left incomplete. pakistan and the u.s. have had difficult last six decades. we were part of the southeast asia and the central treaty organizations and yet pakistan's concerns about india were not addressed by the americans and several concerns about our region were not understood or fully comprehended by pakistan's various leaders. we are trying to address the totality of the issues, and i have seen other leaders and figures who are dealing with the regional situation, admiral m

armed forces to combat terrorism, preserve security here in the united states and fight for peacentry, afghanistan. it is my pleasure to deliver the highest state mental awarded to him -- state medal awarded to him by our minister of national defence. general mcchrystal, the men and women of my country value your leadership. we deeply appreciate your commitment. we will never forget the sacrifices you and those under your command have made to make afghanistan, the united states and the world a safer place for children. you have made a profound impact on our struggle. it from ordinary villager to teachers, army generals, women activists, government officials, numerous afghans are proudly calling you a trusted and reliable friend. the minister is one of them. allow me to read part of his message which clearly speaks for all of your friends in afghanistan. from an afghan perspective, you became a beacon of hope for peace and prosperity of our nation. you served with distinction and dedication, above and beyond the call of duty, in the interest of the united states, and specifically u

nafta and we passed all the free trade agreements it was so that people of corporations based in the united states could escape all the kinds of regulations and all the kinds of labor laws that exist within the united states so yeah i'm open to finding a solution but i can't have this one sided approach that is all business or all illegals i will you know i'll come in the middle with the reverend but it's the illegals themselves who cause trouble as well as the businesses i mean business is not innocent here business is as cost the american taxpayer billions of dollars through skirting labor laws locally said reverend robert how do you respond and i'll get i want on a car again just to semantically question one is i don't call anyone a legal because there is no human being that is illegal they may be undocumented get a clattering but it's a theological point of view you don't understand theological points of views and i guess that's because i don't have a reverend if you haven't already what you're talking about in terms of the draft. immigrant for there's a new worker racism and what you're reall

right in the united states illegally. and many are oblivious to the political firestorm that know what happened here for leave and they're going to leave any time i mean this is about lawful citizens versus illegal invaders if you want to build a fifty foot fence i'm in favor of the fifty. million illegal immigrants in the united states. those could be american jobs those could be tax paying jobs but some industries especially california agriculture businesses don't want americans working for them. which translates into workers needed a spanish language sign definitely aimed towards immigrant workers a foreign based workforce that's making sure that. make it to your table there's no need for interviews or long applications undocumented immigrants simply show up at a field and they're hired many people including former president george w. bush i mean immigrant workers do the jobs americans have to do at a farm in oxnard a city just north of los angeles neighbors aren't the average american who could step in their shoes even

the united states for example under george w. bush pushing very very heavily for forced regime change in the name of democracy i mean does that give the devalue the currency of democracy when it is being forced upon another country and a lot of people say for geopolitical reasons for american interests or oil for example. i think people who genuinely have worked on behalf of the markets the world wide took quite a blow during the bush administration because it got so associated with regime change strategies in places like iraq etc and being challenged indeed in a country like afghanistan i think there is a strong sentiment and it gets back to the question of values about the value of democracy because it does relate danone to accountability but it relates to human rights. and i think that that is still a strong sentiment it doesn't always relate one on one to economic growth and i think that for some countries but if you look at i do spend a lot of my time looking at africa the lack of accountability and rule of law and human righ

so that is more information from the united states. yeah, but right now, you know, you just mentioned the newspaper covered the china story. >> it is mostly the chinese audience. it is the same thing. >> maybe is why you raised it up. i think the level of understanding demanded right now, for the two countries to have and for the people to have about each other hasris ricriha much. and relations between the two countories as well as the two countries are changing all the time as being reflected over the past few years, so i think we are juggling with that past of cupping up with the changes. coming here, and having all of us sitting together, we are at least one step forward. >> can i say something quickly? a surprising thing is i've spent a lot of time on u.s. two shanghai flights. a number of people i think there is a pool of first-hand knowledge about china in the american midwest for the business deals. you see young american students all over china what worries me is the political elite of each country is ignorant of the other. the

not a long time back and the process michel's in the middle east doing as little shuttle can the united states will this be quite blunt can the united states be a fair broker in finding some kind of solution because it seems to have gone on forever. no i don't think you can the last time that america really complained about israel seriously was when eisenhower ordered the israelis along with the british and the french to get out of so is in one thousand fifty six ever since then the americans basically go along with israeli policy in fact if you listen to department of state spokesman and you listen to israeli spokesman and you mix it all up you can't tell who is which at the end of the day i don't believe in this business there was a chill and then we've mended fences i think this is for the press at the end of the day israel will do what it wants to do and when america objects it will remind the united states of where it stands which is it must back israel for electoral

but the united states had not accepted the invitation. in an interview with nhk last november president barack obama said he wants to visit hiroshima and nagasaki during his presidency. but observers say many people in the u.s. oppose the idea of the president visiting the atomic bombed cities. the u.s. ambassador's attendance is seen as an effort by the obama administration to show its commitment to nuclear disarmament and non-proliferation. >>> a russian nuclear submarine scrapped after an accident 25 years ago has been moved to a shipyard near the far eastern port city of vladivostok for dismantling. russia's nuclear agency, rosatom on wednesday transported the submarine using floats from its mooring site in an inlet in the russian far east 30 kilometers away. in january the agency decided to dismantle the nuclear submarine, saying there was no danger of radioactive pollution. in 1985, during the cold war, an explosion occurred when the submarine, called "echo ii," was being refueled at a soviet navy base in the sea of japan. ten crew

because the whole perception whatever the arab street people want to define these days doesn't see the united states is a fair broker dollars the same side is israel in its pure and simple. right is pure and simple in fact the arab world saw. saw barack obama in the united states as a very fair broker back in march two thousand and nine when mr obama gave an unprecedented speech in cairo which i'm sure my colleague mr fyshe represent remembers well and in which the largest gap between the israeli public and a u.s. president was created when mr obama called for the sation of israeli building on disputed land i'm sure anybody who's taken a basic course in middle east understands that israel doesn't colonize arab land but in fact the land is disputed according to the very international law that the united kingdom was involved in drafting a november twenty second one hundred sixty seven when they were the code drafters un security council as in to resolution two forty two but in addition to that it's clear that the united states and on this point i do agree with mr fisk the united states has has had a v

but to explore the question in the united states senate, if harry reid, the majority leader, decides to bring an extension of unemployment benefits that cost the taxpayers $33 billion or $34 billion to the floor of the united states senate and republicans decide they want to block it, now, according to the filibuster rules it might require -- it might require the 60 votes, that 60/40 majority in the senate to break the filibuster. and they are a vote short of that and they swore in a new senator i think it is today. so now they come closer and if a republican will switch over and vote to break the filibuster then they're ready to close the deal on unemployment benefits, unpaid for, fiscally irresponsible, without trying to cut some government spending somewhere. ok. weel give you all that have, mr. speaker -- we'll give you all of that, mr. speaker, you understand the filibuster rules. but let's -- under the filibuster rules. but let's keep in mind that we had obamacare come before the house and before the senate and is our memory so short, is mr. grayson's memory so short that he doe

the. jews wouldn't establish a state because he was only a prime minister the only leader but he was is you can say george washington george washington of the united states. sas eating your enemy supreme leader is nothing new think of president abraham lincoln what was new was the car bomb. parked in the right place packed with enough explosives you can target any man on earth. kings and presidents have to drive the roads just like the rest of us and the moment you do your vulnerable. car bombs are so easy you can use them purely for business if your business is controlling the world's heroin supply. in the early sixty's the sicilian mafia discovered a new way to make rival mafiosa disappear by booby trapping their cars and blowing them to pieces. in sicily the power of the mafia is as old as the statute. five million people live here. but hidden amongst them is an estimated seven thousand mafia members. yet the power of the cosa nostra is felt everywhere from the highest political office right down to the smallest market stall. this market is the body of here. so we how do you know the mafia this year. because. the two of them on to the finish be

our face because what has happened is citizens of foreign countries have invaded my country the united states of america in which i have jurisdiction even in the days when i was a slave i was on the jurisdiction of the united states and these folks have come into my country in the name. of people of color my color skin color and civil rights to see their creating their struggle whatever the suffering in mexico but the mother saw with. their struggle is not to be equated with the struggle enslaved ancestors and emancipated forefathers for them to come into my country and take my legacy is to rob me of everything that i am and if they get amnesty to black people in this country we will die because of the numbers that are coming in this country through the through the twisting of the fourteenth amendment you know you spoke about your kind of black heritage and flavor and all of that yeah and you call yourself a very old rights activists activist here a black man. most of the protests against the flock they this is the rate if they show and this is the new federal rights there and the united stat

i think there's a solidity of ties between israel and the united states that the president of the united states and the prime minister of israel reflect in their meeting. no matter who holds the posts? >> i think every prime minister, every president has his own -- his own points, his own viewpoints but there's a common position of friendship and basic alliance that is there. really continued by all leaders, wherever they are. that will be the case yesterday. >> larry: mr. prime minister, have there been times though, since president obama took office where you felt that friendship or that tie weaken? >> no, a lot of things that the public is not aware of, that throughout the year and some that i've been in office, we've had continuous cooperation in the fields of security, in the fields of intelligence, in the fields of vital strategic importance to israel and the united states. and that seems to go unnoticed or unremarked. people always focus on differences of views that we may have. they're minor compared to the things that unite us. we have -- israel is the only democracy in the midd

the united states ought to be the best place to do research and development. the united states ought to be the best place for a manufacturer to be. we have bipartisan bicameral support. it has been mired in the senate for some time. it expired at the end of last year for the 14th time. manufacturers are small, medium, and large. any notion of whether there will be retroactive extension of the credit -- the jobs credit? more than 75% of the credit goes to jobs in the united states. >> i do not want to anticipate what we will do on that. my personal view would be we need to make it retroactive again, to encourage. as you know, we have adopted statutory pay ago. i think that was the right policy to adopt. when the republicans jettisoned statutory pay-ago -- - pay-go, they eliminated the requirement. what that allowed them to do was to incur great that without consequence in terms of procedure. but the consequence was of course we created great debt without paying for it. these are subject to statutory pay go requirements. we need to pay for those tax credits. havi

i'm pleased to sign into law the toughest sanctions against iran ever passed by the united states cars there should be no doubt the united states and the international community are determined to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. what does russia think about the recent mediating efforts by brazil and especially to turkey's getting very active i recently had a meeting with some techs and they told me that they country was getting very actively involved in the mediating mission. what is russia's position here do we support is efforts. to put across as i'm sure you know very well here and brazil and turkey in talk to these so-called declaration in may. and we said that we viewed it as a positive development. means that a new u.n. security council to direct solution and all foreign ministers issue to a joint statement with the commanding brazil and turkey for their contribution and saying that they are on declaration was a positive development. one of the reasons these efforts were helpful was because their objective was to resolve an important side issue related to rense nuclea

nine hundred thousand young strong mexican synergetic creative who want to work they come to the united statesd it's an economic problem if you have a mexican making five dollars a day in mexico in they know that they can make exactly the same amount of money in the united states in half an hour we're going to keep on coming what do you have to say to all those people who say you know i'm willing to work on immigration reform but i need to know first that the borders are going to be secure i perfectly understand the united states has the right to protect its borders i'm not against that i mean every single country has that right but do we also have to understand that a fence simply doesn't work almost half of all on the commented immigrants who come to the united states come by plane so it doesn't matter how high the fences they're going to keep on coming they simply come to this country they overstay their visas and nothing happens so it doesn't there are i mean i'm from san diego there are people who cross over every day there's a little tiny barbed wire fence that's knocked down and you jus

i analogize the united states in 1910, if you invested in the united states in 1910 you would have done very well. china in 2010 is somewhere comparable-- >> rose: to where we were in 1910? >> yes. while i think the chinese has a great economy and will grow and be a large economy we still have the biggest economy in the world now and probably will for quite some time. we have the large largest r & d expenditures of any place in the world by far. >> rose: but is that changing in an exponential way in the terms of the amount of money spent, percentage, on r & d? >> we have the largest amount. obviously, other countries are yous with the capital they now have spending a larger percentage than we are but for a long time we're going to be the most creative place in the world with r & d. >> rose: what makes us the most creative place in the world? we have more scientists and people who are creative. >> we have the finest university system in the world, bar none. our private universities are the envy of the world. we have the best rule of law, best constitution-- >> rose: best transparency. >>
