in the united states government worked very closely with the coalition as part of that process. unfortunately on the other side from the assad regime side they attended the talks but did not give way at least as of now on a transitional governing body in side of the country. we have discussed that in depth. what president assad has in mind is what i would describe as some of my more recent writings as a forced solution. for president assad a transition in syria is his third reelection as president of the country. now as someone who has personally witnessed a number of elections in syria i can't really point out to you my level of disgust at this approach. but let me assure you, is one that he is trying to sell comanche could successfully sell

i think the united states government worked very closely with the coalition as part of that process. sidetunately, on the other , from the assad regime side, the attended the talks but did not give way on a transitional governing body inside the country. we have already discussed that in-depth. what president assad has in mind is what i have described in some of my more recent writings as a forced solution. for president assad, a transition in syria is his third reelection as president of the country. for someone who has personally witnessed a number of elections in syria, i cannot point out to you my level of disgust at this approach. let me assure you, it is one that he is trying to sell. it told successfully sell the international community in the coming period. i want to make no mistake about it. 96%last election he won by of the vote. almost orwellian. i had never really seen a forced poll to that degree. i remember visiting a polling station. there were some lebanese voting. they had lebanese accents. was runningman who the polling station encouraged me to vote as well. i said,

2003-2004 when i wrote the freak syriacs i said right then there that the united states congress, the united states government would have to take a strong stand. people said to me, you can never pass the bill. you're a democrat. we have a republican president. a republican majority in congress, republican majority in the senate. you never be able to get that passed. took me two years. i went person to person to person. by the time we're ready to vote on the bill we had more than half of the senate and more than half of the house of representatives on the bill. we passed the bill. it was signed into a fact, and that is part of the basis for the sanctions that the united states has slapped on the gasol regime. about a year-and-a-half ago i saw that the free syrian army was foundering and could not get the help it deserves i authored a bill to call in the united states farm where a free syrian army. i really believe that if we had passed that bill, which it didn't, it would be -- things would be different now. we would have the three syrian army much stronger and would establish what they need. after all, they w

we can't come to any conclusions and i think part of the problem is that the united states government and senior political levels did not -- it's clear the malaysian government is not up to this. it's clear other governments may have things to hide. the united states really has the biggest stake. we should have at the senior level, been more involved. i think at working levels of the u.s. government, they're probably looking at it care fri from the get go, but the war on terror is over. what could go wrong? >> is that what you meant when you said that the united states government knows more and isn't sharing all of that with us? is there a good reason and what would it be? >> until we can identify the plane, the remains or we get some better handle, the possibility remote though it may be, that there's still a plot underway means that it would be a big mistake for the united states of anything else to tell the plotters that we have even a clue, far better to act on it than talk about it. >> what about the united states? we didn't jump in right away. it's an american made aircraft. we'

nsa, any of the nsa programs with respect to the iccpr first, for the last 64 years, the united states government has taken it this imposition that it does not apply outside the borders of the united states. the u.s. took this position when we negotiated the treaty in 1950 and we articulated it in 1995 when the clinton administration submitted its report to the u.n. human rights committee, which is the group that oversees compliance with the iccpr. my predecessor at the time, the bad legal advisor conrad harper thanked the committee that the iccpr poses allegations on the united states, only inside the united states and that is because article to as the iccpr, which defines its scope says that a state party is bound to respect and ensure the right and the iccpr only to all individuals within its territory and subject to its jurisdiction. as my predecessor, conrad harper said at the time, and this is dual requirement that establishes the treaty obligations applied only if both conditions are satisfied. an individual must be under united states jurisdiction and within united states territory. and n

they did a very admirable job and the united states government works very closely with the coalition as part of that process. from the regime side, they intended to talk but did not give way at least as of now on the transitioning governing body inside of the country and we've already discussed in depth. with the president i think most of you have in mind is what i described in some of the more recent writings as a force to solution. for the president a transition in syria is his third as the president of the country. as someone who has personally witnessed a number of elections i can't point out to you my level of disgust at this approach but let me assure you it is when he is trying to sell and i want to make no mistake about it the last election he won by 97.62% of the vote. and i wrote about this in my book because it was such a specter i had never really seen a fourth pole to that degree. i still remember visiting a station there were some lebane lebanese. the young woman she says it's okay it's no problem and then she said i will show you how and she pricked her thumb with blood

since when does the united states government genyen genuinely subscribe and defend to the good and defend the concepts of sovereignty and territorial integrity they certainly not do not at the moment in syria where they're backing militants who have taken over crossings in the north and in the east of the country they certainly didn't do that with their tanks libya they certainly didn't do that when they invaded iraq they certainly didn't do that when they attacked serbia over kosovo and then later on recognize cause i was in a unilateral declaration of independence the united states government really pays lip service to sovereignty and territorial integrity picks and chooses. well during this sunday interview secretary kerry was also asked about israel about prime minister netanyahu upcoming visit about the peace process and of course on those issues we heard a very different secretary kerry careful diplomatic calling for negotiations no appeals to the u.n. charter not a word about israel breaking international law and the u.s. supporting it so if you get it says that the u.s. is appeali

it's a whole other thing when they are being bank rolled by the united states government, and that's why i think we've got to look at this issue because as long as you guys don't admit guilt, it's my understanding that the federal government picks up the tab, so hypothetically, not that you are doing that in this case or not that you would do this, but hypothetically a contractor could draw out a case as long as possible, weaken the plaintiff significantly, financially and over time, and then get a settlement and never have to pay a dime of their own money for their legal defense whereas the other side who wanted an adjudication is denied that opportunity just by being worn down, and that's what i would like to get at, and so we're going to ask a lot of questions around that in terms of timing, how long do these cases take? has anyone availed themselves of arbitration or are they willing to, or more importantly is it maybe an issue where at a certain point in time if you could so long and spend so much that it begins to be the company's dime rather than the united states government's

if you're the united states government or the west, what do you do?u tell the ukrainians in as firm terms as you can to stand down, to not give the russians the provocation they're looking for. if the fighting really starts in earnest we have a bigger problem and that's that our options are limited. we're not going into vad militarily. i can't imagine any circumstances if we are. >> there's in one region and town called donetsk in the east of ukraine. i've said from the beginning if something's going to happen it's going to happen there. and if there is some conflict there and it spreads and it could, then i'm not sure where it goes. as you said, uncharted territory. but i'm not sure what the right actions and counteractions are. >> i think what we see is a bigger russian operation to carve off a bigger piece of ukraine. the difference between western ukraine -- eastern ukraine even donetsk, which has russian speakers in it, is it also has a lot more ukrainians than crimea does and a lot of ukrainian nationalists. even many of these russian speakers d
