Are downplaying this. They are not at this point pointing the finger at israel. They are not at this point promising revenge. We are expecting to hear the iranians speaking fairly shortly. This is preplanned speech. Its not specifically in response to this strike, so well be closely monitoring that. In terms of israel, they are not officially claiming responsibility one way or another there are no plans of address from netanyahu and no official comment from the Israeli Government and israeli military. And that, too, is really telling. It feels like the israelis are trying to give iran space to not escalate this further. Theyre not trying to rub irans face in this. Theyre not crowing, not claiming victory. So you have this kind of war of words playing out on top of the actual strike itself, so at this moment despite those iranian threats weve been hearing all week that any iisraeli attack would be met with massive retaliation, it does not look like iran is trying to escalate, and here i

going to send drones over russia for this? these are situations that come and go but the presidents that stayed on track. snowden has created a circus out of this, this is a perfect media story. we don t know where he is. he s created a circus around it. but the president is not letting it become a total distraction. his speech on climate today was a preplanned speech. you re missing the point. well, it he s moving forward with very serious priorities of administration, and not becoming a total distraction. the point is, that the obama administration has made this into a chaotic disaster. ed snowden came out as the leaker on june 9th, it took two weeks for the state department to pull his passport. that should have been done immediately. there should have been someone in hong kong, from the cia questioning him, instead he got to go out on the chinese media. and now he s in russia and they re going to give him asylum
president s supporters after the speech saying, elections have consequences. i have to agree, they do have consequences. this president was not able to get this very radical climate agenda through when his own party was in control in both houses of congress. he s left to try to push it through by executive order. it s very dangerous. luckily there will be some time here there s a process that even the epa has to go through. he likes to go around the world and claim that somehow he s increased our exploitation of our own fossil fuels here, we had a 70% reduction in leases for oil drilling in the last few years. we are in a position where we could have an energy renaissance in this nation, we could have an economic renaissance as a result, we could truly be energy independent and it simply makes no sense that the president seems dedicated to ensuring that we have a decline in our
history under those. two indictments under against snowden, and seven under the obama administration, he s coming down hard on him, and has said in a press conference on monday he will do everything he can under the law to bring him back for prosecution. to what extent, katie do you think this is about, nobody s afraid of obama. they re enjoying the vacuum that exists in the world, and they re more than willing to fill it because they don t fear this country any more? absolutely, i think it s laughable to say this is obama s priority when he was given a speech about climate change today which no one cares about. in terms of the vacuum, this situation has been an opportunity for countries like cuba, china and russia to work together. and despite what jay carney said about our relationship with russia, we don t have a good relationship with russia. vladimir putin made it clear it s obama s second term, they re going to take advantage
