we just went through that exact same unilateral versus unilateral back in 1991. and i'm just curious. you're aware of the history, i gather, but why is that not something which is used to address this constant refrain we hear about a unilateral russian statement on this particular treaty? why isn't that part of the response, the history? >> it's probably a deficiency on my part. >> no, it's not a deficiency on your part. most witnesses don't get there. i'm just curious -- is it not as important as i think it is that they've been there, done that, listened to that before and it had no effect? i'm not critical of you. i'm just curious. >> because the witnesses the don't seem to focus on what it seems to me not only obvious that their unilateral statement is not binding on us but we make you're own unilateral statement saying by the way, we intend to proceed with our missile defense services. we proceed with the same unilateral before. and it didn't have any impact, rightly or wrongly, we pulled out of the abm treaty. i thought that was a mistake but that's not my p

i would argue that we have the right to take unilateral military action to eliminate quote unquote i tally sized word imminent threat to our society so long as an imminent threat is understood to be a nation, group, individual actively preparing to strike u.s. targets or allies with which the u.s. has defense agreements and has or will have the means to do so in the immediate future and al-qaeda falls in that category. what do you think of that. >> i agree with that. >> that is hard line, pat. >> iran does not fall in that category. it doesn't threaten us now. it doesn't -- do you think they will attack the united vogeico, committed to providing service to its auto insurance customers for over 70 years. more information on auto insurance at geico.com or 1-800-947-auto any time of the day or night.

we went through the exact same unilateral versus unilateral back in 1991. i interest curious. you are aware of -- i am just curious. you are aware of the history, i gather. why is that not something used to address this constant refrain we hear about the unilateral russian statement on this particular treaty? why is that not part of the response, the history? >> probably a deficiency on my part. >> it is not a deficiency in your part. most witnesses do not get there. is it not as important as i think it is? i am not critical of you, i am does curious. people do not seem to -- i am just curious. people do not seem to focus on the history. we have been through this exact same unilateral, unilateral before. it did not have any impact. rightly or wrongly, we pulled out of the abm treaty. i thought it was a mistake, but that is not the point. we pulled out of the abm treaty and they did not pull out of the start 1 treaty. i am merely curious. i am not at all critical. not making reference to the history is fairly typical of our witnesses. is it not as important as i think it is? yo

offensive, we have been for this exact same unilateral /unilateral before. it did not have any impact. rightly or wrongly, we pulled out of the abm treaty. they did not a lot of the start 1 treaty. and i am really curious but i am not critical. you are not making reference to that history and that is typical of our wnesses is it not as important as i think it is? you can be totally blunder diplomatic as you wish them no, sir, i just think that >> and no, sir, to define the full context of the debate, you capted a better than i did and i don't know why i did not capture it that way. >> again, it is kindf a pattern, frankly. maybe people don't want to sound offensive. it is not the offensive to make reference to this unilateral history, in my judgment. that is my opinion i want to thank both of you who have served our country well and your family support, we know how critical that is and we thank our families again and appreciate your ming reference to your families the way you do. unless there are further questions by may which there are gone and there are no

i said, don't do it unilateralism. unilateralism doesn't pay. you need to withdraw them. only agreements will pay. like with a drawl -- like with a drawal. -- like withdrawal. i have a choice. so far, you were able to have the bks for the first-third grade. we began changing our textbooks and we managed to have the palestinian textbooks. as far as the jewish state is concerned -- when israel was declared independent, and since the government has been informed and the jewish state has been proclaimed in palestine, -- has been requested by the provisional government. united states recognizes the provisional government as the defacto authority of the new jewish state. i know thathen israel applied for the u.n., they applied as the state of israel. i was asked to recognize the state of iael. now, they have a choice. there are countries that went to the security council and asked to change the name. i have exchanged letters of recognition with israel and that is done. september, 1993. as i told you, some people speak about refugees, some people's big about 1.5 million. that is

as a result of unilateral decision made by the united states there have since one thousand nine hundred ninety nine been a number of clashes between south and north korean warships in the area and the intention of both sides is to conduct military activity within those disputed waters to reinforce their claim to those waters. we should recognize that one year ago in actually december two thousand and nine. north korea announced that it intended to fire live artillery into the disputed waters at that point south korea . labeled the intentions to be an abominable provocation and threaten to react resolutely well one year later what happens south korea fires artillery into this disputed area and suddenly is blaming north korea as the provocative or when clearly i mean whether it's north korea or south korea firing shells or artillery into the disputed waters i mean neither case this is a provocation. ok stephen goes for a better time thanks for being on the line with a small two in tonight's pretty shady. there's no shortage of skepticism in europe over the war in afghanistan in denmark th

that the quartet was always designed to provide political and diplomatic cover to a thoroughly unilateral initiative unfortunately russia the european union and the united nations' worst of all have agreed to serve in that sort of back door role of providing credibility for a u.s. initiative that should be seen as unilateral and supporting illegal actions by israel providing the political cover for israel to never be held accountable it's really unconscionable and the question is why are the governments of the european union russia and the united nations as a whole not standing up and saying this is unacceptable that we want to be involved but we want to be involved on the basis of international law not on the basis of accepting a u.s. resolution that will be a a public violating of international law and allow that to become the the credible solution here this is not going to lead to a just and lasting solution this is not going to lead to the end of israeli occupation phyllis bennis we'll leave it there thank you very much fascinating to hear what you have to say director of the new inte

small and you are worried about the president seizing on that why not make a statement and have a unilateral disarmament and say end it, $16 billion could be chump change but we will not be chumps. >>guest: because then i would say we are in the going to carry out our oath of office which is to uphold the constitution. >>neil: senator, senator, where does this become part of the constitution? where does earmarking or allowing special legislation or benefits to get voted on, in order to be tied to deals? >>guest: i will answer you one more time, it is an profession. we are supposed to be doing appropriations. and the earmarks you refer to are stupid appropriations and we have to quit doing that because you can't do it with a band but by defeating them and you do it, you want do know the answer to the problem, i said this a long time ago if you want to clean up the stupid earmarks, say you cannot, afternoon earmark should be an appropriations that has not been authorized, that means it has not gone through committee to justify it and so they go to the floor, and they swap out deals and they ar

we have not agreed with the unilateral position for this allocation and we continue to seek legal remedies if appropriate. we provided a couple of letters in response to these proposals. in summary, we believe that the water supply agreement and the individual guarantee provides critical certainties for this agency. this has created an environment where we can work together for conservation of recycled water and new supply developments. the change this principle now would place a cornerstone the has been in place for 25 years, weakening the long-running relationship between the agencies. you have a responsibility to many constituents. most of whom did not have any formal representation in san francisco. we consider this agency to be in partnership. and we are troubled by any action that puts the sppuc for dictating policy outside their borders. the memo states that the individual accounts to not account for individual water use, land-use planning, and water decisions by an individual customer. we respectfully disagree with that statement. the isg has influenced everything that has happened

. >> no, look, if you have to go in and defend your national interests, you go unilaterally, multilaterally dip your toes in foreign waters. >> foreign wars. >> issue 3, hiroshima. >> we must stand together for the right of people everywhere to live free from fear in the 21st century. as the only nuclear power to have used a nuclear weapon, the united states has a moral responsibility to act. we cannot succeed in this endeavor alone. we can lead it. we can start it. so, today, i state clearly and with conviction, america's commitment which to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons. >> in april 2009, barack obama delivered these words in pr nuclear power in an address wildly record to have helped him win the 2009 nobel peace prize. this weekend he was in japan at the annual conference of asian pacifi bombings in hiroshima and nagasaki. president truman authorized the u.s. to bomb the cities in the last days of world war ii. august 6, 1945, the u.s. dropped a nuclear bomb on hiroshima killing an estimated 1,040,000 people. the second atomic bomb detonated at e e e e e

has unilaterally walk efforts the un disarmament commission to expand the outer space treaty to prevent militarization of space the lack of current discussions international about what all the planning in space is very bad you have one army of engineers are improving our cellular phones now communications in the world you have another army of engineers are planning a whole always to destroy what's going on up there. they tell us that it's a big boy it's nothing it's like an empty shell like to believe that is that his army but. how can we trust. now. we have to tell our story because we are a product of nuclear weapons we want to tell the world that these are the consequences. i said i almost. i said this is my song. it was in this that i tell the story over and over again to the were. i said to myself. what is my story is it wouldn't while or is there for everybody to listen to what if there is no money for the people are all up for el program then what i said share my body to the. butyl why people who experience. but do something for the people. in that my survival all over them i sur

businesses as a vendor in the park at the busy summer season, but we are against rec and park unilaterally deciding to commercialize our neighborhood parks, especially without attempting to get community input. there is an important distinction between our neighborhood park and the tourist destinations like golden gate park and justin herman plaza, where you have permitted vendors so far. as a further insult, rec and park bypassed allowing others to bid on the job. in general, rec and park has been notoriously bad about outreach to communities, so i think it's time to correct these practices. therefore, i'd like to request that a hold be placed on all permitstor delores park until the communities have had a chance to have a voice on these decisions. thanks so much. president buell: thank you. and i think you'll be hearing more about that today. >> great, thank you. >> rachel, followed by jamie and then crystal van wal strom, michael mcconnell. go ahead. >> hi, my name is rachel herbert and i wanted to thank you for giving me the opportunity to speak again today regarding food vendors in de

there was a major move forward to try and produce a multilateral solution to what looked like a unilateral cycle of retaliation but now it'll be up to the leaders at work already to take the next step to move from a general political agreement to start working towards specific guidelines about what indicators what numbers will be a while in the interests of all while the g twenty members they are not equal well for example the biggest plays of course are of the club china and the united states do they set any guiding principles can they dictate or. or why well on the whole there is as democratic as it looks as if i mean that you twenty i know some countries are inevitably more important and others for different reasons but the basic bargain. that was recognized back in one thousand nine hundred nine when the g twenty was formed at the finance ministers' level is that all of these countries are systemically significant that's a criteria so you can be systemically significant by being a producer of financial security or by being a consumer if you go down say argentina you can take all of you

now the staff deadline of november 15 for final revisions -- there is a unilateral revision which has been submitted. it has nothing to do with anything we heard at the hearing or suggested. there is no change in the light wells. instead of one variance, now they need to. the building has reduced in size by eight tenths of 1%, 40 square feet. they did reduce the height of the building by 3 feet. they added a deck at the roof which will require a 30 inch parapet, thereby negating any reduction in the height. we would like for this to appear on december 2 under items to be continued. we would jump at the chance to meet with the sponsors on friday. we hope to begin a dialogue at that point. aaron is responsible for submitting a staff report to you on tuesday if this is good to be heard on december 2. we have only just now received the plans, and the late. -- and late. the neighbors understand and heard you very clearly. somehow, the sponsors did not. i do not know who they are. i do not know what their connections are. but they do not feel as though they need to talk to us. they feel as

they can unilaterally say we're not going to do this anymore and maybe we should be optimistic about that and i'm more optimistic about the tax cuts getting extended. >> paul: 3-1 against henninger on this. >> all of a sudden the democrats in moderate swing states up in 2012, huge incentive not to have a tax increase. liberals are howling, but remember, this is all a fight over are you going to maintain the status quo, they're not asking mr. obama to embrace radical tax reform. >> paul: and the president wants to win reelection and the economy to be good between now and then and i think some of his own advisors wonder in fact you don't extend the tax cuts it's going to hurt the economy, dan. >> well, yeah, i think some of his advisors do. i'm sorry, i believe that the oval office's bloody minded the same way that nancy pelosi insists on being minority, and i think the white house is on the same-- >> the path to one term. if you think the federal government has money problems. wait until you get a load of the states. when we come back texas governor rick perry tells how he plans to cl

we are going to unilaterally say that we don't, we don't want to do these things anymore, i think that would be a great act of statesmanship. i would like to see them succeed. because not only would it show them their own party-- >> yes, i do. >> it would shame the democrats, too, and with people, politicians might just start doing things because they think it's the right thing instead of you know, what's best for getting reelected and i think both parties should do that and i think the president should do it and he has done it. >> well, you know, i agree with that you on that count, but when i hear it's intended. >> i'm sorry, when i hear it's intended and saying it's a time honored tradition. well, simply because it's been going on a long time doesn't make it any more effective. you've been acting like an ant and what i think happens here, is we accept it as part of just the way we do business. and what i fear about all of these, you know, bright-eyed bushy tailed tea partiers coming into party, some guy putting an arm around youngman, young lady this is the way we do things here and

it was a unilateral decision at that time. we need to decide the individual wholesale customer of that allocation by december 31, 2010, which is why we are here today to give you a flavor of that and get guidance from the commission so we can bring it back to the december 14 commission meeting. coupled with the interim supply limitation is the environmental enhancement surcharge, which is really a method to help enforce the interim supply limitation. the goal is for us collectively to stay below 265 million gallons per day. in the rate setting process next year, you will be asked to establish an environmental enhancement surcharge. that will be levied if the combined purchases exceed that interim supply limitation of 265 mgd. the limitation would go to agencies that exceed their supply limitation. it goes out to all customers, so it makes the allocation a very important thing for customers, as you will see by the comments we of received already and the number of customers who are here today to comment on the matter. in additio

dean gets up there, i want to know is why so many democrats are support the president unilateral invention -- intervention in iraq. that he says, the same thing about the bush tax cuts and no child left behind, then he says the same thing about patient's bill of rights. all of a sudden the room is kind of getting within. people are liking this message because no other candidate is articulating it. and he ends by essentially lifting a line from paul wellstone which is i'm howard dean and i'm here to represent the democratic wing of the democratic party. and the room just goes nuts. and it's interesting because he was challenging the democratic party in washington right to its core saying we need to stand up for core democratic values. at the people in the room in some ways they were the target of that, but they also believed that, too, that the democratic party had kind of started to lose its way, that just they were in power, in the '90s that they've done a lot of good things. yes, al gore won the presidency and had taken from them by the supreme court. but by the same time they're slow to
