While there are without question other assets that can perform the cas mission, none can do so with the same maneuverability of the a10. Could you give us your sense from an Army Perspective as whether or not the air forces decision to stand down the entire a10 fleet is in the best interest of the National Security . So as we talk to our sell jo soldiers, they will tell you that they support and have been getting great support from the a10 aircraft. A lot of it has to do with the visual deterrence that it provides lowflying visible both to us and the enemy itself and the exacts that it has. So the a10 is a great host air support aircraft. The Close Air Support aircraft. However, as weve done in afghanistan, there is an amount of missions being followed by other platforms such as the f15s and
The Iranian Regime has the law supporting occupy wall street. They werent supporting the tea party by the way. At the end of the day i figured it out they share a common enemy despite their differences. They share a hatred of judeochristian civilization. The enemy of my enemy is a friend and although they disagree on a lot they wont undermine the west is real traditional judeochristian western civilization. Or at the end of the day if islamist got their way and sharia reigns of pain the left would be the first to put that on the chopping block. It happened with the ayatollah khamenei. They supported the ayatollahs rises six months later they were locked up in evin prison and executed. Cautionary tale for for the left today. Dont be so shortsighted and naive. Im not obstinate optimistic he will change your mind. Israel has a very robust community. As you know in iran and in gaza as subnine we have no such problem. When the community wanted to participate in a parade they would not let t
Crisis before we look for reasonable solution. But looking at the whole picture, looking at the whole picture of the river helps us understand yes, why we exist the way we do here in the southwest. It also helps us understand the role of rivers surface water in arid regions, and other parts of the world. But it also gives us a larger picture, a piece of a larger picture of how humans relate to the environment and the stresses and strains that come along with it or the political fights that hamper, creating a sustainable relationship, all of the barriers that stand in the way of making better use of our natural resources. And we can look at what didnt work, plenty of fat, but we can also look at what did work and what is working now. And what kind of changes we can make. I think it would be a fabulous example for river watersheds throughout the world. For more information on all of the cities visited by booktvs local content vehicle, visit us online at cspan.

Is nbc nightly news with brian williams. Good evening. During a time of heightened awareness of a potential terrorist threat, a man armed with a knife was able to jump the fence and make it inside the front door of the white house just four minutes after the president departed by helicopter on friday. Now the u. S. Secret service, especially the officers in uniform who patrol the white house lawn, find themselves facing some uncomfortable questions, like what if this assailant had been even more highly motivated or heavily armed . What if there had been several of them at once . Why is the fence relatively easily to climb and not electrified or curved or barbed at the top . No one wants a kremlin in the middle of washington.

Kristen, good evening. Reporter brian, good evening. There have been
