state department quite effectively. >> figure. time for one last question. there is one in the back. please, go ahead. my question really is a andtion of the process tactics used by state department spokesman or spokespersons. you don't necessarily know what questions are going to be asked every day, but i imagine in general, what you end up with is answering the questions that you thought were going to be asked and you don't have time for much more. i guess my question really is, to what extent can the moresperson's job be used super actively, over actively, to bring up in the way points you want to make, a question that has not been asked yet? it seems to me, otherwise, no matter how good you are, you tend to be defensive -- you or whoever -- tend to be there to answer the questions you think will come up. if they come up, you've done your job. to what extent can you and fill -- spend time dealing with questions that have not been asked, but are definitely, definitely high priority in the state department and maybe even the white house, too? >> that is a great question. i tried to open the briefing by saying something. i mean, the question came up when i was

reflected good work being done at the state department by something who didn't get the headline, and in this environment, that information would find a niche somewhere. i used to tweet out a lot of things as a state department spokesman. i drove policy guys crazy but if there was something in the become that was good stuff but didn't get asked, i could noodle it down to 140 characters. i would try to push something out. one day i push out a little bit -- a nugget on indonesia, and the defense department came back and said, you didn't tweet the guidance. i tweeted the guidance, every word i tweeted was from the guidance. but they carefully craft a certain line, it's this but that, and i used this but not that, and they said, you lost the nuance. i went, there's no nuance on twitter. it's 140 characters. but you look to find ways to bring out -- the state department as we all know, it's a remarkable agency. dollar for dollar the united states gets more out of the state department than any other agency in government. certainly the other agency which with i spent 11 years or 26 years, there's wonderful work being done, and you have to find a way to bring that w

apologize immediately here is to retreat for what is for sure it doesn't make any sense to us state department spokesperson jan absolutely i actually stumbled while being grilled how this question let's now take a listen together. you do accept that there are people who move under israeli administration move under israeli authority right now who do not have equal rights for. i don't think i am in analyze this further the u.s. appears to phrase strongly criticizing israel does that make it harder to make any progress in the peace process john kerry saying is true since israel should confront the truce in the truce is that with the old peace process with the oldest two state solution israel is going to this direction it looks like about it walks like about it is about israel in the occupied territories is definitely an about the regime when there are two people is one always all the rights in the world in there without any civil rights whatsoever this is about to. fire back to a developing story here on our to international shots have been fired in lugansk and now that's as anti-government prote

the project called zooms in euro is to stir up public opposition to the cash for a regime the us state department has admitted to this scheme but says the aims were purely democratic we believe that the cuban people need platforms like this to use themselves to decide what their future will look like so this program was specific to cuba other places around the world that we do democracy promotion different ways well that was marie harf from the u.s. state department but despite assurances from washington political analyst andrew craig believes this creates a worrying precedent. it's a considerable embarrassment for the united states policies personnel both on staff and private contractors it's obviously aimed at cuba but part of the embarrassment of the revelations of this policy is that. the same techniques can only easily be understood as being used possibly or probably in other environments and so let's just think what they might be ukraine. iran syria. really there's just so host of situations historically and currently where. people are going to wonder whether these techniques are not being

i know this is in the state department hands. can you give us an update is as far as the white house involvement? you are right. it is in the state department hands. the president has spoken publicly to the fact that he expects the criteria they will be using is whether it is significantly increases carbon emissions to build the pipeline. i think there is a reason why the president said that criteria out. keystone just is not a major economic issue. there is a miniscule number of permanent jobs associated with the keystone pipeline. appropriate that the president is focused on the criteria that he is. >> to go back now to the long-term, we are talking about the long-term unemployed. those 3hink that all of million long-term unemployed workers will eventually find jobs or is there some class of workers who will be left in the lurch permanently by this recession? is one of the most important economic questions we face. wo facts areo clear. the long-term unemployment rate is significantly elevated. i think it is our largest economic problem. it is

up in europe are wholly ignored couldn't they have given russia most recent one of the state department that she used to head to teach a whole lot of money for democracy development and regime change into the former soviet union ukraine got five billion alone as revealed by assistant secretary of state who went in her own speech these sorts of things have pushed russia to form the shanghai cooperation organization with china which is basically warsaw pact round two. yet history is repeating itself but don't let the mainstream media hype about russian aggression or unwillingness to cooperate for you. history shows can be aggressive and cooperate one really is a fascist my pain room. what was one . and julianne moore. the sister militants have launched for the kids in southern israel late thursday night in a real excitement since his release is in scrambling for shelter the rockets landed in the chart only give regional council with them causing any injuries or damage. this is the first attack from gaza militants since the middle of march more than sixty rockets were fired at israel in a single day in

state department. let's discuss all this. joining usnior editor who's here in "the situation room." what do you think senator mccain and other members of the foreign relations committee said the administration, the u.s., has lost all credibility in foreign policy right now? >> i think it's mostly partisan posturing. senator mccain has had a very different foreign policy that he's wanted followed, you know, one would have to judge on the basis of were that foreign policy have been implemented, what would that look like. i would suggest the way you gain credibility in a situation like russia is not to have gone around invading other countries. i mean, the idea if we had only invaded, you know, intervened in syria, we would have more credibility with the russians. i feel like we tried that experiment in the last administration. we invaded iraq, we invaded afghanistan, and putin still invaded georgia and he still annexed. the situations are sufficiently complicated, that if you decide you want to put a partisan spin on them, you can read al

and then here within the united states, key partners for us include state department and usaid. ometimes when we talk about partnership, it's fair to ask us which partners are you referring to because we have many. the partnerships take lots of coordination, hard work and patients to pay off, but they do. and i think in some cases looking at the intractable conflicts of yesterday they can become the success stories of today. so even as i imagine we'll spend a fair amount of time talking about today's challenges, you know, a decade hence we may be sitting here citing those as success stories in turn. the two that copy to my mind, the civil wars in the 1990s in west africa and sierra leone and liberia in particular where you've had the united nations, the international community writ large to include the united states and the efforts of those countries themselves that have substantially recovered now to the extent that they are able to send peacekeeping forces to assist in exporting security beyond their borders. theup secretary general, ban ki-moon, in fact, called sierra leone on
