from deep inside your radio once again from New Orleans Louisiana ladies and gentlemen this is the kind of perspicacity we look for in our political leadership just check this this announcement former governor Iowa governor Tom Vilsack who withdrew as a candidate for the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination this week saying he couldn't raise enough money to compete with his rivals he said it is news conference now he had announced his candidacy way back on November 9th but he announces this past week quote this process has become to a great extent about money unquote only took him four months to figure out that running for president involves a lot of money that's the perspicacity ladies and gentlemen we're looking for and speaking of which Dick Cheney was in Australia this week no they refused to allow him to have political asylum which is not the asylum I

think anyway he he was visiting Australia and he delivered the now standard but by the way you know his his stump speech which is so-called because it stumps all listeners and now characteristically includes a line about if we were to leave Iraq we would be validating al Qaeda's strategy and I'm waiting for somebody to say excuse me by by kind of scheduling out of the Afghanistan thing before it was done proof the Brits are sending more troops to Afghanistan now this year by scheduling out of Afghanistan before it was done and allowing the Pakistanis our allies to shelter the Taliban haven't we've been validating al Qaeda strategy for the last four or five years sir excuse me

hello mr. Cheney anyway he's in he was in Australia and he lavished praise on the prime minister Howard quote prime minister Howard and the nation that he serves have never wavered in the war on terror he said America's glad to be fighting alongside a country like Australia I think he meant Australia not a country like Australia because if you look at the globe anyway the the cute of this particular moment was that the prime minister and senior members of his cabinet including the foreign minister weren't at the at the appearance of vice president Cheney when he said that during his only public appearance it's almost as if they were scared to be seen with him why would that be because this is election year in Australia ladies and gentlemen buried lead department New York Times reports that a group of influential Christian conservatives are dissatisfied with the republican presidential field and uncertain where to turn

it was a meeting of the council for national policy a secret secret club whose few hundred members include Dr. Dobson Jerry Falwell and Grover Norquist of Americans for tax reform that's at the top here's the buried lead way you need the miners helmet to find this one and one of our one of our fine listeners Don the said helmet for the occasion here it is wait the bottom Grover Norquist said he remained open to any of the candidates who spoke to the council or to Mitt Romney who did not he argued with the right promises any of them could redeem themselves in the eyes of the conservative movement despite their past records just as some high school students take abstinence pledges even after having had sex quote it's called secondary virginity unquote Mr. Norquist said quote it is a big movement in high school and also available for politicians unquote don't tell the plastic surgeons is all I have to say

hello welcome to the show I'd like to say a few words defense of our country people are bad nor the mean love the leaders we have while they're the worst that we've had a heart of the worst this poor world is seen from the edge of Lake Ponta train in the Orleans Louisiana I'm Harry Sherer welcoming you to this edition of the show in diola province north east of Baghdad where Sunnis and Shiites are battling for supremacy the u.s. government is

contracted the job of promoting democracy to a Pakistani citizen who's never lived or worked in a democracy met this according to the Washington post the management of reconstruction projects and the province has been assigned to a border patrol commander with no reconstruction experience the task of communicating with the embassy in Baghdad has been handed off to a man with no background and drafting diplomatic cables the post of agriculture advisor has gone on field because the U.S. Department of Agriculture done have one to send people our government has sent to Iraq are all dedicated well-meaning people but are they really the right people the best people for the job asks they retired foreign service officer who went to last month headed the team in diola if you can't get experts it's really hard to do an expert job hey tell us about it in New Orleans sir says senator Richard Luger regarding the situation of the lack of talented or experienced civilians to head civilian posts in the new iraq quote there has been real inertia and

my opia there'll be a good names for two of the three you know when iraq breaks up into three countries inertia and my opia would be good names for two of them we've not really approached this in the right way says senator Luger hock and a Luger at us and perhaps on us on a related subject if you can't get the talented civilians get somebody you know date line bag dad in his latest remarkable political reincarnation one-time u.s. favorite Ahmed Chalabi has secured a position inside the Iraqi government that could help determine whether the surge succeeds in a new post created earlier this year and this year is not that old Chalabi will serve as an intermediary between bag dad residents and the Iraqi and u.s. security forces

the position is meant to help Iraqis arrange reimbursement for damage to their cars and homes that's right he'll be handling funds i bet he's good at that he was a banker to the Jordanians found guilty of felony fraud bank fraud but that's just the Jordanians the uh... reimbursements are to uh... recompense people whose uh... damage may be caused by the security sweeps in the hopes that they can still like us yeah we bombed your house but we paid you what we give the money to Ahmed Chalabi to pay you so what's what's the problem now indeed what's the problem ladies and gentlemen is now time for me to read the trade for you actually a story about

the trade from a consumer newspaper though going a little public from the Boston Globe cell phone screen is today's hip billboard throw it throw it in the ocean now you've been warned i'll read for it then you've been warned in an ad saturated world the cell phone screen is a nearly pristine canvas but a number of Boston area companies are helping to transform the device that 220 million people are low to leave at home into a personal pocket size billboard hawking everything from the latest ringtone to phabia favorite phabio favorite i can't we're calling the phone the brand in your hand says

forina sultan associate professor of marketing at northeastern university what's an academic doing hawk in this instead of studying it helping helping all of us the challenge sultan says will be to produce an advertisement for the phone that excites the person holding it all get excited don't worry about a bit i'll get real excited the cell phone at space is poised to grow given the increasing speed of wireless networks and a cluster of Boston startup companies have positioned themselves as the middleman who bring brands to the screen one more reason to love being town Boston based and pocket incorporated is placing banner ads on sprints mobile browser home page third-screen media bill cell phone size banner ads for burger king and toyota

you locate communications and framing a mass is unveiling mobile advertising uses global positioning technology to send ads to phone users in specific locations hey you in front of the in front of the burger king go in mobile line in watertown mass turns the phone into a mobile membership card that receives coupons and store alerts from grocery stores and fast food restaurants me likes quote Boston does have a good technology base but the fact is we're close to New York as well with the strong advertising companies says Eric McCabe vice president of marketing for jump tap a Cambridge company that offers mobile search the way there's more

for now people are pulling ads toward them clicking on banner ads reading sponsored search results or sending short text messages to enter contests and get product information but carriers who've been hesitant to turn the potentially lucrative cell cell phone screen into ad space because of concerns over privacy and consumer patients are beginning to test the water is that's according to Roger intner an analyst at ovum where's your dad work ovum what's it to you online mind works at scrotum sprint next held began posting banner ads on its mobile internet home page last fall Verizon wireless has been exploring the possibility of banner advertising according to a spokesman we're trying to be very prudent says Steve Crom official for singular the big question is our users going to find it acceptable

to see advertisements and pay for service to yes that is the big question sir cell phone carriers which generally know a lot about their customers are trying card to avoid the mistakes of the internet the FCC prohibits companies from sending unwanted spam to wireless devices said mfcc that how it's done complaints about that Howard case turn set the guy that just only spanks strippers with case and their names and telemarketers are prohibited from auto dialing cell phone numbers eventually a business model could evolve in which consumers opt in to see ads every time they open their phone but get a discount on content or services says antner of ovum the cell phone could develop into a medium supported by both ads and subscriber fees like cable tv and how good is that major advertisers from Ford to the us navy have begun testing the space with

videos mobile web pages and mobile extras such as phobia grams promoting i can't believe it's not butter i can't believe it's still phobia a year ago a typical ad campaign at third-screen media that's cute see your television was your first screen your computer was your second screen your cell phone is your third and your eyeball uh... typical ad campaign was thirty thousand dollars last year today it's more than a hundred fifty thousand dollars last year was about people starting to realize mobile was becoming a legitimate new advertising medium says maria mandel and official at the digital information group when you have two hundred twenty million plus people with a mobile phone

it's a wake up call to advertisers that this is significant way of reaching eyeballs also quote the phone is a device that can be with the consumer right there in the aisle that's called the moment of truth says john hatel of proctor and gamble now he's a strategic advisor to proctor i got the moment of truth for you if i see that show up on my phone says sultan of northeastern university it's a very very private space we've got to be really careful we you work for university question that i can suppress when i read the trades for copyrighted features broadcast you this is the show still

nothing you can do about that ladies and gentlemen news about the inspectors general we've got to get rid of these guys because they keep coming up with stuff like this see what you how are you supposed to run a government when inspector general starts nosing around and then date line washington the justice department has routinely misrepresented the number of terrorism prosecutions possibly undermining decision-making in the war on terrorism according to the justice department's inspector general i want that guy out of here yesterday he concluded the department in most cases quote could not provide support for the numbers reported or could not identify the terrorism link used to classify statistics as terrorism related unquote terrorism related radio show ladies and gentlemen i guess they could could include that because i mentioned the word terrorism all but two of the twenty six statistics reviewed from october two thousand

through september two thousand five were wrong two out of twenty six that's a good panic quote these inaccuracies are important because department management congress need accurate terrorism related statistics to make informed decisions said inspector general glen fine how would he know part of the problem according to fine was the justice department routinely counted criminal cases as terrorism related even when prosecutors found no links to terrorism you sitting down yet i think i think we need to be just have a much bigger chair because it's a lot of sitting down we got to do these days find blame day decentralized and haphazard system well that's what happens when you've been the grownups are in charge don't you think justice department defended its tracking system in the inclusion of cases that aren't directly linked to terrorism while such cases often result in convictions for other crimes they're underlying purpose is to prevent a deterrist infiltration

said the justice department spokesman well you know any time you put somebody in jail it to turn something don't you think you sitting down yet just to introduce our news from outside the bubble segment which is a long segment today which is not to suggest that we're getting more and bubbled here is just stuff is happening um... partly because it appears that a lot of the reports one of which i shared with you i think a week ago or two weeks ago about u.s plans for war plans against iran are being deliberately leaked in various places around the world not all of them in this country to get the iranians attention as opposed to yours but a uh... a reporter for the british newspaper independent reminds us that as the british leave bazaar that's where they're the tony blare

announced he's withdrawing british troops that's what that's been there their little bailiwick by the way at the same time he's increasing troops in afghanistan so they're actually going to be committing more troops to the whole the whole fine deal in nineteen fifteen the independent reminds us the british swept up from bazaar toward bagdad believing that the iraqis would reward them with flowers and love only to find themselves surrounded at kut cut down by turkey shell fire and calora and there's more another british great military defeats took place in the very sands in which soldiers are now going to afghanistan the battle of my wand on july twenty seven eighteen eighty destroyed an entire british brigade overrun by thousands of armed afghan tribesmen some of whom the official

inquiry into the disaster described as talibs talibs as in taliban no it's nothing new that's what's cool about it now ladies and gentlemen news from outside the bubble apropos for also in the independent when prime minister blare announced british withdrawing its troops from southern iraq he sought to convey the impression of the pullout could go ahead because the security in situation in bazaar had stabilized while conceding that this did not mean the city was quote how we want it to be unquote but to be dodged nick in iraq expert at london's institute for strategic studies says british being criminally irresponsible in abandoning the people of bazaar to the ravages of quote malicious criminals and a police force fighting for control once the british forces withdraw from bazaar he says there will be no restraints at all

others believe british been fighting a losing battle in southern iraq since the looting an anarchy that followed sedoms fall and the mission being accomplished quote the british may not have been defeated in a purely military sense but lost long ago in the political sense as anthony courtsman of the center for strategic and international studies in washington and much of what went on in bazaar between the then and now remain unpolicized because the militias intimidated and assassinated journalists that's the way to do it from the times of london some of america's most senior military commanders are prepared to resign if the white house orders a military strike against iran according to highly placed defense intelligence sources the times of london of course owned by rubert murdoch there are four or five generals and admirals we know of who would resign if bush ordered an attack on iran a source with close ties to british intelligence

said there is simply no stomach for it in the pentagon and a lot of people question whether such an attack would be effective or even possible a british defense source confirmed that there were deep misgivings inside the pentagon about a military strike all the generals are perfectly clear they don't have the military capacity to take iran on in any meaningful fashion it would be a matter of conscience for them there are enough people who feel this would be an error of judgment too far for there to be resignations on quote a general's result revolt on such a scale would be unprecedented american generals usually stay in fight until they get fired set of pentagon source and there's more america is secretly this from the telegraph a conservative british newspaper america is secretly funding militant ethnic separatist groups in iran attempt to pile pressure on the islamic regime to give up its nuclear program

washington is growing leak growing more concerned with the failure of diplomatic initiatives c.i. officials are helping opposition militias among the numerous ethnic minority groups on Iran's border regions the operations are controversial because they involve dealing with movements that resort to terrorist methods the past year there's been a wave of unrest in ethnic minority border areas of iran with bombing and assassination campaigns against soldiers and government officials such as it's been carried out by the Kurds in the west these areas in the northwest the uh... wazee Arabs in the southwest and the blue keys including jimbalukia believe in the south east funding from their separatist causes comes directly from the c.i.a. secret budget but is now no great secret according to one former c i.a. official spoken on the state of the sunday telegraph his claims were backed by fred burden of former u.s. state department counter terrorism agent who said the latest

attacks inside iran fall in line with u.s. efforts to supply and train iran's ethnic minorities to destabilize the iranian regime on quote just a question isn't this what we did in afghanistan in the eighties that led to the resurgence about uh... the Taliban in the birth of al-Qaeda answer are you sitting down much of the intelligence on iran's nuclear facilities provided to you and inspectors by american spy agencies has turned out to be unfounded according to diplomatic sources in vienna this from the guardian newspaper in london most of the stuff turned out to be incorrect says a diplomat at the i.e.a. with detailed knowledge of the investigations they gave us a paper with a list of sites the inspectors did some follow up the went to some military sites but there was no sign of banned nuclear activities now the inspectors don't go in blindly only if it passes a credibility test one particularly contentious issue concerned records of plans to build a nuclear

warhead the cia said it found the plans on a computer supplied by an informant inside iran u.s. intelligence officials showed printed versions of the material to atomic energy agency officials two years ago and they judge it's specific enough to confront iran teran rejected the material is forged and there remain reservations about its authenticity according to officials inside the agency first of all said one official if you have a clandestine program you don't put it on laptops which can walk away he adds the data is all in english which may be reasonable for some of the technical matters but at some point you'd have thought there would be at least some notes in farcy oh it's farcy all right more yes there is glad you asked the war on terror is radicalized muslims this also in the times of the

london muslims around the world to unprecedented levels of anti-american feeling according to the largest survey of muslims ever to be conducted gallops center for muslim studies in new york carried out surveys of ten thousand muslims in 2005 and 2006 gallop findings indicate that in terms of spiritual values and the emphasis on the family and the future americans have more in common with muslims than they do with europeans fifty percent of radical muslims support democracy compared with thirty five percent of moderates are you still sitting down religion was a found to have little to do with radicalization or antipathy towards western culture muslim muslims admired most with liberty democratic system technology and freedom of speech i thought they hated our freedom what what say two gallop analysts it's no secret that many in the muslim world suffer from crippling poverty and lack of education but our radicals any

poorer than their fellow muslims we found the opposite there's a key difference between difference between radicals and moderates when it comes to income and education radicals earn more and stay in school longer get them out of school all you can do surveys found that radicals were more satisfied with their finances and quality of life than moderates so we got all of that right and finally from the sunday age in australia they've cost the taxpayer a hundred six million dollars australian money that's nothing that's jumpchains pay so far they travel in business class over the past four years australia's armed air marshals have had to act only once subduing a sixty eight-year-old man who produced a small knife on a plane the value of having such expensive security in the sky is now being questioned down under the federal justice minister has defended their use to the newspaper saying every day without an incident was a successful day for security

there's thought to be about a one in ten ten chance of being on a flight with an air marshal there about a hundred and seventy of them said to be traveling on international and domestic flights critics call for the program to be reviewed the head security head of virgin down in australia said air marshals were introduced without consultation and the airline has yet to be convinced of their value spokeswoman for the airlines says that remains doubtful about the need for air marshals the union represents ground security staff at airports as air marshals have proved to be of little value the national secretary of the liquor hospitality and miscellaneous workers union not enough of the first two and and you'd be miscellaneous too says the introduction of air marshals was a knee jerk reaction at a quote very dodgy exercise there's just no evidence says the national secretary of the union that it's had any benefit our view he continues at the way you're going to improve

aircraft security is to ensure there are appropriate measures to take and before people go on planes to try and limit what people are taking on planes the money that's going on air marshals could be used to improve security staffing levels and scanning equipment but fortunately we don't have to worry about any of that because we're just fine news from outside the bubble latest gentleman a copyrighted feature of this very broadcast and you know that there's been an enormous amount of attention this week devoted to some very important people and Nicole Smith you've heard of her we're we're still waiting at the apologies of the week department for the cable news channels to apologize for that but they're not going to because the ratings were up so everybody who complains about it you sit down because apparently it is important but also Britney Spears who I believe this week

according to Swedish researchers who should know the treeline is moved by up to 656 feet in some places trees have not grown at such high levels for around seven thousand years says a professor at department ecology and environmental science in Sweden Sweden's climate in the past 20 years was as mild as it had been some seven thousand years ago while some of the change could be explained by natural phenomena such as the rejection in global volcanic activity the trend was clearly provoked for the most part by man-made factors we can say that 75 percent of the change is due to the emergence of greenhouse gases as professor leaf Coleman I guess the leaf line has moved too thank you so much and a critical meltdown of ice sheets and severe sea level rise could be inevitable because of global warming the world scientists are preparing to warn their governments new studies of Greenland and Antarctica have forced a UN expert panel to conclude there is a 50 percent chance that widespread ice sheet

loss may no longer be avoided because of greenhouse gases such melting would raise sea levels by four to six meters that's some kind of measurement it would cause major changes in coastline and inundation of low lying areas and require costly and challenging efforts to move millions of people and infrastructure from vulnerable areas previously the official estimate in 2001 was the chance of such an event was not well known but probably very low the melting process could take centuries but increased warming caused by a failure to cut emissions would accelerate the ice sheets demise and give nations less time to adapt to the consequences news of the warm ladies and gentlemen thank you proving he's not lost his knack for knowing how to ingratiate himself to the american public
