So as of this hour the county police in missouri Highway Patrol are taking over security in ferguson missouri two officers, one from the county, the other from a neighboring force were shot during a mostly peaceful protest last night now a manhunt is underway for whoever opened fire. Eric holder has harsh words for the shooter. What happened last night was a pure ambush. This was not someone trying to bring healing to ferguson this was a damn punk. Punk. Trying to sew discord in an area that is trying to get its act together and bring together a community that has been fractured for too long.

They are says isil booby trapped buildings, and we need to destroy them to move along. You have an irane general, the head of the irgc that is really leading that battle.

We are having as spirited a debate as is going on theres also a transatlantic debate so that question gets asked also in our diplomacy.

With regard to ukraine and the things that need to be done, and that has been appreciated, very much by my by most of us, i would have at this point significant difficulty coming to work each day with these decisions lingering and the way that they have and us, again, not taking the steps that that many people within the administration, as i understand it, feel needs to be taken. And yet we continue for some reason not to do those things that weve acted as if we might do. I have a number of other questions that ill send in writing. And i thank each of you for being here. I realize that in all cases, yall are messengers and not the ones that have these decision memos sitting on you
