And expertise is jim walsh. Jim, first and foremost, look, it may very well be someone elses drone. Ill get to that in a moment. But when we say we only patrol in International Air space, do we really only patrol in International Air space . Well, the first thing to know about that ashleigh, is International Air space is highly contested. Different countries draw the maps in different ways. And so you can be in a spot in the air where one country claims its in International Air space and another country claims its in their national air space. Its sort of a fudge word, and weve had this before. This is not the first time weve had this dispute. Weve had drone incidents now with iran on this makes the third different occasion, and in every case there are claims by both sides, and its rather tough to resolve. Just about every aspect of this is classified, so how much faith should i put in this claim by our navy that weve got all our drones, its not ours . Yeah, you know, that seems like a
Prime minister, tony blair. As they await a new heir to the throne, the british consider changing the rules about who can become king or queen. Im wolf blitzer. Youre in the situation room.

White house consistently, which is they arent moving until they hear the republicans agree to raise tax rates on the wealthiest. Listen to what the president had to say. I think that, you know, we have the potential of getting a deal done, but it is going to require what i talked about during the campaign, which is a balanced responsible approach to deficit reduction that can help give businesses certainty and make sure the country grows. And unfortunately the speakers proposal right now is still out of balance. He talks, for example, about 800 billion worth of revenues, but he says hes going to do that by lowering rates. When you look at math, it doesnt work. Reporter so unbalanced approach is the white houses nice way of saying you got to be kidding me. Jay carney used the phrase in the briefing just now that the proposal from the republicans was a bunch of magic needs and fairy dust and the current standoff is continuing with neither side talking today, brooke.
