-- on another note here there's a bombshell report apparently.

By a British newspaper.

Had credible information.

For at least 48 hours today is.

Before the protests.

-- both Cairo and Libya that's ever gonna go down on.

And yet did not warn of diplomats.

Are gonna -- -- bureau done.

I Raddatz and I think there's something -- I I think there's something credible I cannot confirm because it is very likely.

That good diplomats on the ground knows that this -- office are preparing a demonstration.

It's not that difficult to know that people on the ground did they report to the State Department in Washington I don't know.

Today report and nobody answered or nobody mobilize them I have no idea at this point in time.

Last question.

That you're answering.

I don't -- election but probably rose don't answer my question.

What's our daughter was now.

-- to move on now this million Muslim march.

Startled in Colorado -- -- law is up because the president called little more sorrow are.

Look they don't do things in reactions as the mainstream media tells us they are very much organize these are the Muslim Brotherhood and the southern -- -- networks.

And those networks -- not be a wake up in the morning and I'm angry I'm -- a go have a million.

You know -- man march or something.

These -- war -- fed decides to do with the put pressure on the United States to actually put pressure on to international media.

To make it seem that something is terrible and then that our foreign -- -- -- needs to deal with this issue.

I think what's happening now is that we are confronted administration is confronted with a situation that was not plan that was not actually expected to happen.

Insidious is this sounds.

-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- No I think egyptians were happy that Mubarak is gone then there was a -- wrote better than Mubarak.

-- worse than Mubarak by choosing the partnership with the most of brotherhood where western Mubarak who could have gone the other path.

Better than Mubarak democracy freedom freedom to -- to -- as we did not choose that and fortune.

There are some people who -- Douglas and slightly editor that we're rural want better off in Iraq what's on -- Saddam -- -- is new ones.

You know it's the same analysis -- dom wants terrible.

And there was a choice either moving towards an Iraq multi ethnic with freedom.

Was more secular empower all are moving to in Iraq by withdrawing quickly and offering it almost a bigger audience.

Which unfortunately is the case today it's always what we decide to do at the historic moment that's gonna influence if what happened now is worse or or better than before.

And of course it's worse because we've made the wrong choices.

So we're probably going to continue.

To give two billion dollars billion.

Dollars a year to the -- Regardless of our relations of Gary thank.

This is a big mistake if you continue to do that without putting pressure on the -- without.

Demanding that president -- C would dismantle those extremes if he doesn't want it to do Imus is to lower little by little -- foreign and he's he doesn't and continue to support them.

Then guess what we could -- again.

Fund of funding the opposition indeed Vienna without democratic though women's movement in the -- his movement and this is our money is a couple -- -- we are free to do it yeah above month.

Nobody here is that correct -- enlighten me.

My peers are gonna do it anyway our government.

Gonna continue to -- of these multiple monitor billion dollars -- your regardless.

Present already -- an alternate Merrill ally -- -- -- about that Iran and else.

And my question of what we -- abundant.

I think this administration is committed to the partnership with the most about -- -- around one -- what we want a well.

-- -- why -- -- -- this business connections and Egypt.

That that they were that there won't erector 400 in a manner you suggest.

In spite avoid over don't know what our relationship -- let them.

I think there's day they're getting bad advice that's my as far as I can go he had better advise Daschle who the Muslim Brotherhood.

Various officials of demonstration.

They never talk about the -- than ever explain to the American public what is the goal of the -- if you do so bidding to have and a public opinion is gonna ask the administration why would funding them well I don't know controllers.

On the -- at a loss.

I think their advisors should do a better job and informing decision makers who these some of -- and the -- -- our.

I mean kids in the Middle East know who these people are -- his own FaceBook it is -- mobile you don't need even intelligence service for that purpose it is in the open of course.

Finally -- -- -- Netanyahu and Obama.

-- -- -- -- Did this that this is an old story it has not been done -- in the last incident but it has been you know -- years that the relationship unfortunately between the Obama administration and the Netanyahu government.

May -- person as as well is not going well and now that Israel is surrounded.

In the south and -- -- the -- From the east that Iranian influence and -- and in Syria and Hezbollah.

I think it is the moment for the United States and Israel to be together along with -- Arab moderates to confront the -- that it doesn't look that it's going in this direction.

-- -- -- -- There in and Yahoo! but.

Or general alternatives.

But -- now all around personal loans.

It's always a pleasure to have you on the program.

No number they watch on the unthinkable -- on -- -- -- from taking a -- and every guest.

Required every gesture proven program to -- -- you know I have like I do.

So.

Camera that you might picture I wore that hat at one of the conventions outside of that -- offensive Florida and this in the today that it may -- -- in -- east Middle -- cowboy Pendleton yeah.
