Occurring in the United States which has not happened. The virus miew mutating or becoming more contagious, it has not happened. Mr. Wade would you support more drastic measures compiling a new fly list from getting people from west africa from coming here. Im glad i am the only one on the campaign scene calling for the suspended traffic for the ebolaeffected areas africa. Since then others have stepped up with the same thoughts. We need to put the safety of our your family, all American Families first. Now, my opponent is the chairman of the Senate Subcommittee for african affairs. As chairman he has been stubbornly refused to speak up for what i would call prudent precautions to spend the traffic until the crisis passes.

At the same time, the desire among many within the middle east for an arab solution must turn if he went further towards baghdad and took over back dad by forests, that this would create greater amity among arab members to be that in some ways as the reestablishment of western colonialism. But theres a very important distinction, a revelation she was in the archives and theres always the questions when the decision comes out about whether or not American Forces should continue on to baghdad in 1991. This was not a discussion within the white house for a very important reason. The ultimate goal beyond the liberation of kuwait was removal of Saddam Hussein from power. There was a 100 certainty on highlevel officials that this would happen anyway. Saddam hussein had embarrassed. His own army
Prevent. And irwran that will stop at nothing to in secret develop a nuclear weapon. Many military analysts say a strike on iran, even a very good one delays that option. Leave one additional thought. Wharf whatever you thought of libyan intervention. It set off a whole bunch events it africa. That was predictable. Let me give you view of iran to operation in libya. This is what happens when you give up your wmd program. So my last question for you on this evening, after this remarkable career of 39 years in the military, listening in on all these bad actors and conversations for all your years in intelligence, the National Security agency, being at the cia and seeing everything from the trains blown up in madrid to the towers come down when you were at nsa in new york, are you an optimist or a pessimist when it comes to human nature . I am, in another venue, described reading the president s daily preefs and all the stuff that is not ready for prime time every morning, six or seven da
Mr. Kaplan spoke at the Louisville Free Public Library in kentucky. I admire those who do but thats not what i do. What im interested in is policies and ideas. Where do these ideas come from . I mean, they dont just drop from the sky. Usually they are not things that just automatically appeal to everybody as a matter of logic. Where do the ideas come from .

It usually isnt just one person, its a community. How did this Community Form . What was the basis of it . Thats what history is all about. Its a story. Thats what these stories are about, its about the interplay between personalities and politics, and policy. An accident, going to disappear so thats what im interested in.

Military advisors is expected to arrive soon in iraq. Joining me now, senator rand paul, republican from kentucky. A rare treat to find you in town so thanks for being here. Good morning. Looking at the situation in iraq as it is now, what would president paul do . How we got here and we have to decide as a country where we are going. I think there is chaos in the middle east and i think thats because we created a vacuum. Before the war there was a standoff between sunni and shiite for maybe 1,000 years off and on. Now we
