as wes moore said.on which said they absolutely weren't going to do negotiations. condoleezza rice said at the very end of her term, maybe there was a chance for an agreement, sure. maybe want israeli prime minister who is on the way out and on his last legs. so i think we've had george mitchell in there. we have worked this back and forth really hard. i think you have to look at the direction of the administration. you can judge by results when results are attainable. you also have to look at the effort that's gone into this. a lot of effort has gone in to working this problem in the middle east. and frankly we haven't heard any better suggestions out of the other side. and it's one of the problems of this debate, is that you really cannot make foreign policy by sound bite. and what we have here is a very strong president who has had a very robust foreign policy. he put the troops in to get osama bin laden thanks got him. they did the surge in afghanistan. he's followed flew through on the pledge to st

wes moore is a retired u.s. army captain and combat veteran and joins me now. attacks certainly seem to be a strong signal from either the haqqani network, the taliban or whatever combination of insurgents, coming only two weeks after hillary clinton was in kabul and in pakistan and urge i urging some more constraints on the haqqani network. >> absolutely, and it's not just the timing, andrea, it's also the location. kabul is an area that was known to be relatively stable, really up until months ago, and i think it's showing two things that i think many people knew about this region and knew about this area in particular. one thing is that the security apparatus, particularly for the afghan central government, is relatively shallow, and that the area, the actual cordoned off area where security is actually in place is not as large as people think it might be within afghanistan. the second thing is the fact that, as you mentioned earlier, both the haqqani network and also the taliban is going to have a say as to how this transition looks and what happens within

fileer is on the opposite side of where we are suggesting to move it in. commissioner moore: i don't think we can resolve this year. i would like to state it is a concern because if you live that way, it is absolutely horrible. and as a commission working with the department should develop more sensitized guidelines by which we encourage roof decks because it is a provision and expansion of usable open space. however, it has to be within measure of how a property operates in the block and the typical limit ed, the limited frontage and lot size we have in san francisco. and that is basically it. given what was just pointed out. who is speaking? >> i understand the commissioner's concern and i will communicate this to the residential design team. commissioner moore: thank you. appreciate that. secretary avery: commissioners, the maker of the motion, there was an amendment. commissioner moore: and the calling of the -- secretary avery: and there is no amendment. the maker of the motion is not accepting an amendment. thank you. okay. commissioner antonini? commissioner antonini:

army captain now author wes moore. thank you for coming. >> absolutely. >> thank you. >> we have been hearing about the inevitability of mitt romney. it sounds increasingly like he is going to be the nominee if you listen to the white house especially. in this week alone the romney campaign has launched an obsession campaign which is ostensibly to prove that the white house is obsessed with mitt romney being the nominee. then there was a çtit for at tt time earlier in the week between the two candidates. on tuesday romney said, sometimes i don't think president obama understands america. i say that because this week -- or was it last he said americans are lazy. i don't think that describes america. >> the obama campaign said only mitt romney would encourage -- criticize the president for encouraging ceos to promote the united states abroad. they seem to have crowned wayner. should we follow in line? is mitt romney the heir apparent? harold? >> i think it's smart to begin to think of him as the strongest candidate becau

president olague: we could take dr and do that. commissioner moore: if the architect would like to respond to the commission, i ask him to come to the microphone. president olague: that would be great. >> i think in some ways it is a reasonable request. we actually spoke to a neighbor, kind of off the back, who did not file a dr. i will put this on the overhead. we spoke at one. to the neighbor on this property. he had concerns about privacy. in the end, he decided not to file the dr. he decided it would be ok. consider that this roof deck is effectively the backyard for the upper unit. it has no access to the lower rear yard, because the lower unit fully occupies that space. this is the yard. this is where they will be raising kids. this is where she is going to ride her tricycle. i do not want to make it too small because it is a family amenity. i understand the privacy concerns. when we were speaking with the neighbor i was referring to, we offered -- and he decided it was unnecessary -- to put a three- foot built-in planting around the railing th

we asked moore no also refused to answer. he told us he's a self-employed trader when questioned about his line of work, but fox 5 news learned he's also a former lawyer and had worked for the securities and exchange commission. >> he was a former securities and exchange commission guy. i'm thinking how does that work? reporter: according to this profile moore created a business in his name last year and may now be providing home healthcare for seniors. the profile claims moore was bringing in at least $96,000 a year, money the city will be going after in the legal action they're pursuing. >> we are moving quickly to protect the district's interests. reporter: now city officials say they may foreclose on moore and take his home which won't make a dent in his bill. latest records say his house is only worth about $778,000. he owes almost 18 million. shawn. >> that is mind blowing, audrey. so who else is on this delinquent taxpayer list and how much do they owe? reporter: altogether the 18 most delinquent taxpayers owe $25 mill

we are. commissioner moore: okay. i didn't quite hear that. president olague: and that part is not in the recommendation, but there was a recommendation so not only nonprez denial projects but also residential projects -- is that part of the motion? that part will be added. commissioner moore: and i think it needs to be specified and cannot be every residential project. >> no, the size requirement. >> it is currentfully there. president olague: and i believe he wanted to put in a request to the board to put off hearing this at the land use so there is more time to do additional outreach and -- commissioner miguel: and i support that. president olague: i think we're ready. secretary avery: commissioners, the motion before you is for approval of staff's recommendation 1, 2, 3, and 4 with the inclusion you recommend the legislators consider expanding the proposal citywide and the size requirement is included and that the land use committee postpone their consideration to allow more outreach. >> one slight amendment to that, i believe the commissi

endorsement for which we are not doing specific design, they would be mapped and policy endorsed in the plan, but they are not focus areas for our specific design efforts. commissioner moore: that is important to know. as we are dealing with buildings and projects, it is important to hold them up with the connections. the second question i have, and i may be completely wrong, you were talking about the height along the freeway corridors. at some point, i was assuming that much of the media parcels on either side of the freeway are owned by caltrans, which means we would not have any ability to discuss that. we had a project a number of months ago. in the context of that, we were discussing that some of these parcels are not even owned by anybody in particular other than caltrans. >> actually, in this area, that is not quite the case. on the block where all of the off ramps are, most of that is owned by caltrans, and there are a couple of lots in between the ramps. on the block between second and fourth, the entire block, those are all privately owned lots, many of which that are under developed, but caltrans didst not on them. they own immediately underneath the freeway i
