time. next up, lots to talk about with our gps panel this week. from syria to egypt, iran to iraq, and of course asia. finally, why egypt went way retro this week, back to the age of the pharaohs. i ll explain. first, here s my take. you wouldn t have thought anti-americanism in pakistan could get any worse, but last week, nato attacked a pakistani army post, killing 24 pakistani soldiers. even before this episode for which nato expressed deep regret, you couldn t have found a country on the planet that was more anti-american than pakistan. in a pew survey this year, only 12% of pakistanis expressed a favorable view of the u.s. populist rage and official duplicity have built up even though washington has lavished islamabad with aid totaling $20 billion over the last decade. i think it s time to recognize that the united states pakistan policy is just not working. supporting islamabad has been premised on two arguments. the first is if we don t, the pakistani go ....
curious things, places where a guy named jimmy who began his journey to become president carter. places where inevitable winners like hillary clinton and howard dean lost. places where somebody could rewrite the story that this republican race has come down to mitt versus newt. somebody like ron paul. newt gingrich has been on both sides of a long list of issues. sometimes in the same week. it s wrong to go around and adopt radically different positions. because then people have to ask themselves what will you tell me next time? ron paul hit newt gingrich pretty hard this week and he s got the money to keep at it. $3.6 million in cash. even better, he s got the army, time magazine reports paul insiders claim to have hard pledges from 20,000 caucusgoers, a record 120,000 iowans showed up in the 2008 republican caucuses. and one more number. 30. congressman paul joins me now from his home state of texas. congressman, you were greeted this morning by a new des m ....
of the most important financial minds, to tell us whether the oour zone is about to come apart. why in the world can t north korean nurses and doctors come back from the middle east? it s a fascinating tale. finally, back home, the former governor of michigan, jennifer granholm, tells us what her experience of cutting taxes and reducing spending taught her. all this coming up. but first, here s my take. last week the international atomic energy agency issued its most serious warning about iran s nuclear program. it argued that iran seems to have experimented with various technologies that suggested it was trying to build not just a nuclear program but a nuclear weapons program. this finding, to be clear, is at odds with the views of the former head of the iaea, mohamed elbaradei, as well as the report issued a few years ago by the united states national intelligence council. it s difficult, to be sure, what to make of these intelligence judgments because they are ....

union. the leader of the western world was wrapping up a meeting with world leaders dominated by the debt crisis in europe when he was reminded of oncoming u.s. elections. the least of my concerns at the moment is the politics of a year from now. no one believes him, of course, but there are people who get paid to worry about the president s re-election bid and there is cause for concern. usa today and gallup polled 12 swing states the president carried in 2008. they found that in late october he was running a close race with mitt romney, herman cain and rick perry. nearly two-thirds of swing state residents say their families are not better off now than when president obama first took office. joining me now for a look at states in play, maryland governor martin o malley, who heads the democratic governor s association. thank you, governor, for being here. thank you. let s talk first about the president s prospects. that is a fairly grim at this point look ....
