a position a straight as among them canada is a miser you see the ones who abstained today exactly so by abstaining then they re saying we re not going to vote against the us we re not going to vote for the u.s. so it s better to stay neutral do you think they were staying neutral because they were afraid well the explanation was we want to be everybody stay at the table and this is why we don t want to take sides and we take a side when we participate in you know saying no or yes to the resolution that s the off official line but i think it has to do with being concerned what the results will be because nikki haley said they would take down names they were taking names and what do you make of that we ve never seen that before we ve never heard a diplomat at that level use that language either well it shows that. from the very start. people were concerned that the u.s. president didn t doesn t quite understand how the administration works on it and
acceptable idea of what a peace process should be at the end it s regulations and ideas that. these eighty. put forward but it s not a peace process in which the palestinians have a real saying and have a role they say they want to to play well i mean there s also speaks to the transaction diplomacy don t drop and i was saying at the beginning of the show we ve seen today there are limits to that but maybe trump doesn t see those limits but when it comes to mideast peace you know how much can he impose. his business deal on other countries i mean countries and societies are not businesses seventy five countries did not vote for the rest of the illusion this time so. to certain degree has a little bit off success in scamming this country is to take on

they had a charismatic leader. but he did a whale of job down there. why didn t doesn t he let the army take care of the ceavls. that is the solution of the problem. they have had a series of leaders. bill: corrupted like karzai. you don t know that. bill: i have pretty good information. maybe somebody in his family. three governors in illinois go to the slammer in my adult life. bill: i ll trade illinois for the taliban, just kidding. i m going to give you iraq when we come back. we ll talk iraq with mr. rumsfeld, was it worth the blood and treasure. john edwards may be indicted soon by the federal government. coming right back.
