any of the burdens. if you re going to take that position and say you want to be just a supporter, then you have to deal with the fact that in the international community, without american leadership, it is very complex. one of the reasons why the united states ends up taking the lead, say, in kosovo or in bosnia or in iraq or in afghanistan is because absent american leadership, these organizations often don t function. you know, one of the acronyms for nato is needs america to act or to operate, n-a-t-o. but right now they can t quite get it through nato because the united states isn t committing to its normal role as running the operation and bearing roughly half the costs and risks. let me ask you, the other day in el salvador, we had a news conference with the president, i asked him what the exit strategy was for the u.s. from this military action in libya. and essentially what he said is,
benefit most from the actions. and it made him famous. maybe he can finally afford conditioner. and what if back in 1943 an organization leaked the names of the members of the french resistance? they would be seen as evil and the good guys would take care of them. so i have to wonder why is asanj allowed to wander? where is the call to action from the hate the war, love the troops now that the troops and cooperating friendlies in afghanistan have been revealed? back then i was pretty clumsy. you look better, you sound better. i just want to say one thing, that point i made, the resistance and the guy was leaking against resistance we would see them as traitors and kill them. why don t we think that way now desm. don t function that way anymore. that s my . i hate to be repeatitive and citing mccarthyism, but the
