It is called the wrong enemy america in afghanistan, 20012014. Very pleased to have her at the table. Welcome. Congratulations. Much to talk about. What is your assessment of the election . Praising it once and for the other to the afghans who went to the polls. It was very exciting. Lots of debate. Talking about voting because who didnt vote for because they either did not like karzai or they were distressed because of the state of the country. In kandahar, whole lines of people. Last time it was an empty city, no one went out. There are some great movements there and its very exciting. You contributed to what . 12 years of the karzai era is over. Was somethingit to think about. Theyre very worried about what happens beyond 2014, the withdrawal of western troop. They really want to have someone someone that will stop the talib
Good evening. After ten days of this, when you ask americans what they think of this Government Shutdown or better yet what they think of their government, they will tell you and they wont hold back. And they have told us rather decidedly who they blame for it. In fact, our pollsters tell us its among the most forceful responses to any of our nbc news polls in recent memory. Americans are in a dark mood about the state of our country. Close to eight in ten people, 78 say were headed in the wrong direction. And elected officials are facing a lot of heat back home. 60 of respondents on our poll said they would throw out all members of Congress Even the ones they like. It is clear there will be consequences with each passing day of this. Its where we begin tonight with our chief White House Correspondent political director chuck todd. Chuck, good evening.

And then theres the very influential Heritage Action group, which wants the debt ceiling off the table and for the focus to be on obama care. Okay, so i guess they talked to the speaker. And lets not neglect the always productive stop subsidizing abortion or were going to shut this place down argument. Yeah, good luck with that one. Are you confused yet . So are we. Luke russert, help me out here. What do republicans actually want . Well, im still thrown off. I cant decide. Tell us what you want, luke. Is that scary . Was it posh . Was it ginger . Was it sporty . We dont know. Just like we dont know what the next wave forward is
History degree . Thats what president obama said. I will ask a bestselling author with an art history degree. The new yorkers adam gothnick. From dining at midnight to seest tas at midday, why spain may want to turn back the clock about 70 years. Ill explain. But first, heres my take. 2013 seemed in many ways to be the year of Vladimir Putin. The russian president had consolidated power in his country, crushed any possible opposition, kept his ally in syria from being toppled and brokered a deal to remove syrias chemical weapons. 2014 was also going pretty well for putin. The sochi olympics was not the disaster many had suggested and above all, putin had maintained russias historic relationship with ukraine. Outmaneuvering the European Union which made ukraine a conditional offer that ukraines president turned down in return for cold russian cash. Thats what it had looked like until just a few days ago. But now, on the central issue of ukraine, russia does not look so triumphant. Ukrai
