jonathan from spokane, washington, good morning. caller: i just wanted to say -- i served over in iraq in 2006, 2007 and the navy or marine corps. while many are quick to point out that the president made mistakes and that politicians make mistakes, i believe it is only fair to stand by and listen to what they have to say. they are our leaders first and foremost. second, the commander in chief does not have an easy job. i would invite any american citizen to go one day in whose shoes, or for that matter go one day in any of those -- of those who have served their there. i think that we have done a wonderful job and have trained iraqi policemen. it is time to finalize stepping up to take control of the country. as with any conflict or war throughout this nation's history of believe that they all come to an end. that is just history. host: thank you, we will go to defiance, ohio. caller: good morning, i stand corrected. i am a republican but i was definitely against the war, the invasion, the whole thing. but that was a horrible movie

jonathan citrain is the offer. now i would like to refresh your memory about st. paul's letters to the new congregations that one day were to become the christian movement. but at the beginning were just widely scattered groups that didn't know one another. and they were looking for a set of rules to follow, and paul traveled with the convey yansz of the day, between these far scattered little places, and he brought a message to them and the message even after all these years is shocking and i seldom meet religious people who swear by the bible and have read this many times who actually heard what paul was saying. st. paul's new testament letters to the congregation which later became the christian movement are filled with fervent calls to ignore the rules. i swear that's true. rules paul said, corrupted the establishment of his day and in a variety of ways. paul writes, salvation will not be found through obeying the rules. think of a surfing bum, cracking the human genetic code, or a movie usher giving shape to the american film industry. as examples of this. sc

host: jonathan from maryland'. good morning. caller: i'm wondering how many of the individuals responsible for the coup was trained in this school of the americans and whether that has impact on the upcoming legislation to close the school? host: ambassador? guest: a lot of the top officials of the honduran military has been trained at the school of the americas, which has been renamed, but is still the same place. in my view, there is no real reason for the existence of the school of the americas. it's militarizes our relations with central america. what we need in central america is demilitarization. i did not mean necessarily the abolition of the military in places where it exists, but at least taking away any role they have the with internal policy and reducing their numbers. what we need now, as i mentioned before, it is some kind of institute presumably under the oas and with the united states support to train people in public administration from economic, and social development. this is what central america needs, not mor

i notice modeling -- jonathan gruber's model the scenario that was most advantageous for small employers with the scenario that exempted small businesses and i think that was a 1 to 10 employer? is that what he was looking at there? >> correct. >> we still haven't answered the question of the 11 to 100. >> but there were substantial benefits for -- even with that model, huge benefits for small business with the reform and with the shared responsibility. >> but it depends where that small business exemption comes in; is that not true? >> well, pretty much -- pretty much every model that professor gruber model produced a better result than a status quo because it was such an absolute disaster for small business, fewer 50% small businesses are even offering anymore. clearly we would love to work with the committee to figure out the right balance of tax credits and sliding scales and exemptions but virtually any system where some recognition is given to the special needs of small business, that has reform in it that deals with the cost containment is going to be far better for small business

public intellectuals, phrase slightly makes my blood freeze, but like how jacobsen for example and jonathan freedman are really aware of. and we just launch ourselves over it actually. i refuse to be taking an apologist by the israeli government which is especially unsavory and anti-semitic implications. i think it's worth in britain than in germany for example. it's a british thing which i am so under sort of worried about and i see a growing actually.

american enterprise institute, for the past week we have gotten reports about one of our destroyers, the jonathan king, shadowing a north korean ship that might or might not be carrying weapons parts or contraband according to the most recent security council resolution. from the navy's point of view can you give us a sense of how you see the effectiveness, playing out of shadowing the ship without enforcement mechanisms being part of the resolution, and what that would mean, both in this particular case, we don't know where -- it is ending up this week but also in future cases if we have the intelligence that allows us to go forward an shadow other ships. >> right. i think you no, again, kind of going back to my point on being a global navy, the ability for the united states navy in the western pacific to be able to maintain contact on that ship is a function of being there. you know, you don't whistle it up from the continental united states and send it forward. so the fact that we have some very good information is no coincidence. you made the comment about no enforcement. and i think that the

the economic study we released earlier this month based on research by jonathan gruber found that without reform, health care will cost small-businesses $2.4 trillion over the next 10 years. we are pleased to see the house bill addresses key cost containment measures such as expanded use of transparency, prevention and chronic disease management. our polling shows that the key to controlling costs in the market place where there's healthy competition, there must be an insurance exchange from the robust. the national insurance marketplace, to national rules. there are standardized benefit packages, without regard to treat existing conditions or health status. and marketplace transparency. a balanced set of reforms will require everyone to participate. 66% of business owners in recent poll in 16 states, releasing preliminary data today, support the idea that the responsibility for financing health care system should be shared among individuals, employers, providers and government. it should be noted that response to our surveys include an average of 17% more republicans than democrats, 40%-

i can tell you the experience of my wife mary when our son jonathan was born 13 years ago. she was returning to work in a health care environment. she's a nurse. she was returning to a hospital, but she had to go to her employer and say to them, can i have permission to have flexible break time? can i have a room with some privacy? and just the daunting aspect of returning to work is hard enough when you're newly -- you' ere a new mother and you haven't had a lot of sleep. it's hard enough to return to work, but in addition to have to make a special request to your employer and wondering how far you should push in asking for those two simple things, flexible break times and privacy. many states have gone down this path and have found that it works well. to change the presumption, to change the presumption from the individual mother carries the burden of having to go and raise these issues, to changing it to an understanding that this is a reasonable request, very important and valuable to the health of our children. so with that, i would ask for your support for this amendm
