My name is chris stevens, im the new u. S. Ambassador to libya. I had the honor to serve as the envoy to the libyan revolution and i was thrilled to watch the libyan people stand up and demand their rights. Now im excited to return to libya to continue the great work weve started, building a Solid Partnership between the United States and libya to help you the libyan people achieve your goals.

Then after graduating from the university of california at berkeley, i traveled to north africa as peace corps engineer. I worked as an engli

[shouting] was to have as the representative is a tory [laughter] even one with a fine hairstyle this. I well remember when he came to question time not within into those the but with a model of the vessel that he wanted build so near to his constituency and im proud that this government is building that vessel as indeed another one like it but i also accept, humbly accept, that one, im sure there are many people in scotland would like to talk about this issue.

And there are two pieces of
