codel trips are a scam. talk to an embassy staff personnel like i did in 30-plus countries. >> they are going to afghanistan. [all talk at once] >> pay the troops in afghanistan. that's how you show respect. >> the troops are getting paid. open up the government. give me a break. you have know codel is a scam. it's something we all pay for. >> we all read "art of the deal," the president is asking them to negotiate against themselves. they had a deal in december but after ann coulter said it was a bad deal he wouldn't sign.
