” Curtis Sliwa is on line.”

” Curtis week nights from 10 PM one Leo. First we go to Tripoli in Libya. With a terrorist responsible for the downing. Of the pan am flight over Lockerbie Scotland. Been released from jail by Scottish officials and return. To a hero’s welcome. This is what the president of the United States said about that released earlier today.”

” We have been in contact with the Scottish government in indicating. That we objected to us. And we thought it was a mistake.”

” And then he went on to add.”

” The following we’re now in contact with the Libyan government and wanna make sure that if in fact this transfer has taken place that he’s not. Welcome back in some way but instead should be under house arrest.”

” Welcome back Mr. President he got a standing ovation and he got the red carpet treatment and five star treatment. Treated like who returning hero. On the line to discuss this KT McFarland pentagon official. Under President Reagan. And — when I think. A Ronald Reagan I think of April 15 of 1986. Sending the F sixteen jets. Off the coast of Libya. To attack Qaddafi compound any military installations in Tripoli. And from that day after woods the Daffy was silent. And yet he’s. He sort of reinvented himself and now he’s our so called friends.”

” Yeah I think this is just an abomination. There’s no other word for at this that the mass murder. And the fact that he’s been released so that he can go home and die with his family and loved ones around and what he was responsible for killing. Dozens of college students hundreds of people without a second thought I just signed as a complete abomination. The one thing that is I can’t get her sit around about the whole thing is Qaddafi. Qaddafi as you pointed out what Ronald Reagan. Bombed Tripoli. — sort of change is too little little bit but he’s so continue to support — and it still continued its nuclear weapons program. What changed was sent out within a week of Saddam Hussein being captured. Within a week of those pictures that we all thought Saddam Hussein with doctors speaking through his beard to look for — Within a week of that happening — stop just terrorist program. And it stopped its nuclear program could all he could think about was he Qaddafi was going to be next. So the fact that we have falcons had a perverse that that we the world and our notion of Christian charity which is great for people. As individuals but nations should navigation excited about change.”

” And you would have thought even if this was done for their purpose they obviously some people because of their face they believe look that guy’s gonna drop dead any moment now. Let him go and peace. You would have made Shula that it was at a hospice. It may be was bad a place that was not in Tripoli Libya where he was giving me hero’s welcome and it was broadcast on Al-Jazeera TV and all the Arab speaking TV stations. According to him that kind of treatment annually gives to it returning head of state.”

” Absolutely and what that they haven’t we always fail to understand Curtis. Is we look at the world for our own and we shouldn’t do that. And we look at something like better President Obama looks that’s going around the world apologizing for everything Americans ever got anybody. Or releasing the mass murder because — a sense of compassionate Christian charity. Well — the world looks at that as a sign of weakness. They look at that as an opportunity to explore pressure again. So it’s a mistake individual. Point is from the state get the sense of justice that I think it’s also a — stake in the sense of international affair.”

” Vote today was the election in Afghanistan and clearly that tally by and we’re trying to exploit a weakness of the Karzai government. And the whole system of warlords. And those who. Who — so opium. The drug lords. Who run their country do we have any in stand. Analysis of what transpired in the.”

” We know for a couple of days with the turnout isn’t. And even so who knows how realistic it’s all going to be we thought that Karzai it was going to be pretty easily reelected he’s not popular he’s not like that. He’s that ability in Afghanistan all along ethnic lines. And current I belong to moderate ethnic group is — His major opponent was the former foreign minister Abdullah Abdullah that he’s — Pashtun but — part to — And that’s in the north west province and areas that they Afghanistan. — what I was in Afghanistan in the day it was quite clear that. Karzai was expected that we handled apparently enthusiasm for a what’s changed is the Taliban as you point out have gone around. Have some have threatened to come off — finger ink stained finger at anyone who votes. They’ve disrupted the polling places in the south which is where the Taliban’s strongest and they really really suppress voter turnout so what’s gonna happen. As a result of this is that people in the south the Pashtun tribes are not going to vote during high numbers and that’s for Karzai’s support comes from. The people on the north which is a pretty secure area our economic voters are gonna vote for a dollar. So it’s set of terms like coasting to victory he could well the failed to get her get the most ever votes. But he might — get over 50% in — 50%. Then there’s another election runoff election between Karzai and Abdullah wishful. Happen October 1 that the problem with bad. Is that then leads Afghanistan. Kind of leaderless for a six week period which is the most vulnerable time because this is just since we started an increase. In the offensive and try to take back a lot of the territory that is so far and most of the time.”

” But KT McFarland we have a dilemma in Afghanistan. In that our generals after assessing the situation have asked the president in the Pentagon for permission. Do not only go after the tally bond leadership both in Afghanistan and obviously India by Pakistan — the northwest section. But they want in now — after the drug warlord. And literally send hit teams to take them out. Which. It’s such a message because so much of the economy is dependent on the growth. And the harvesting of opium. That if we start knocking off the warlords. Who providing income for some of the peasants. Then naturally they’ll end up siding with the tally — and its gonna become an even bigamist.”

” I Afghanistan Kyrgyzstan a — But I think Afghanistan could well be about because about and then fairness bush before test failed and a couple ways if you’ve identified. You know what your goal here is circled recruited self sustaining democracy in Afghanistan. It to win the hearts and minds of the people wanted to go after terrorists and bad economic. And then the next question that’s not answered is who are bad guys kind of felt kind of — in — locker in Afghanistan. They — instead they moved into Pakistan they’re going to have to greener pastures. So what slaps its but narco traffickers. Is the warlords if the Pakistan — about the Afghan Taliban. All the — fight each other just as happily as they fight us so quarterly trying to get — trying to get the ball. And then the next thing is no matter what you do and Afghanistan even pictures successful. You still the bigger problem with Pakistan Pakistan’s nuclear weapons. As general crystal there was Obama’s hand picked commander he’s — about two weeks’ time to deliberate assessment. The Iraq the Afghan war when he intends to do aware of it because even he has admitted they were not winning it now. One of the things. That you should watch for — we should all watch for is — crystal recommend additional troops. It has — and say that I’ve talked whenever people who worked on this report for term personal that they had been told whatever you do don’t ask for portraits commission backed up. So the question Nancy is Obama going to draw down and Afghanistan. Is he going — as seems unlikely increase and our troops are gonna keep do waste your analogy is that for fickle that Rumsfeld a fact. Send him just enough troops to. Prevent getting defeated but not about to to actually prevailed to win.”

” Now KT we go back to Iraq. The population that will now have an initiative in referendum in which they can vote to expedite to withdrawal of American troops from their country. The prime minister. Can’t wait for our troops to leave the country in fact. He gave an order to remove blast walls from the streets of Baghdad and build bombs have been cooling — nonstop. And they had to actually acknowledged. You know maybe our Iraqi Security Forces are not up to the job yet.”

” Yeah maybe it’s that whatever happens in Iraq is not — withdraw — not going to be without incident. They metal hair they gonna take potshots at us is that we’ve. But that’s forces in Iraq are going I think what the Americans are gonna circuits — opportunity — do whatever we want to. So it’s not it’s by no means a done deal I think that there is at the end of the day the opportunity and possibility. But this self sustaining democracy in Iraq which is there really significant thing because it’s the only one. In the air Muslim world but it’s not going to be like — about it they’re gonna have a lot of fighting before it’s over. And I would think that we see as we continue to withdraw. I think you’ll see it uptick in hostilities in casualties there pick in the hands. The Afghan I mean the Iraqi military will probably prevail but it’ll be enterprise.”

” But this is this said scenario as as per the new war it is which is Iraq leads and American troops and the commanders must follow. While these bombs were going off all over Baghdad unbelievable carnage in destruction. There are American soldiers were forced to stand by helplessly and — have –”

” That’s exactly — They’re job is to get out their job is to not re engaged so they’ve got — just service stand by and watch it happen. And note that the Iraqi military may be better than I was but it’s not going to be good — to completely.”

” I must tell you KTR men and women have fought so valued. They re — for many additional — words it’s not a place you wanna be particularly summertime it’s at a 135. Degrees in the shade as you know having traveled. To both countries Afghanistan and Iraq. And now after risking your life after burying your comrades there after sending you comments that wounded you’re being told. You can watch the enemy set the bombs off. She’ll be innocent citizens. — you can — soldier until Iraqi officials. Ask you to do so apparently — why do we even bother saying.”

” Well. You know we’ve given it her best shot and I think director but it’s up to them that you make a really good point Curtis and I was — Pressure on a panel — trucks and today we were talking about Afghan and Iraqi veterans coming back can and the problems a lot of these cancer campaign. And can turn into a lot of the Vietnam era. Military and the wanting it comes through loud and clear systematically over the the American military participants extraordinary people in our country. And in the world and other other daughter in the navy and I just cannot tell you how proud I am I’ve heard all the other gang AdAware and it’s served their country it enormous. Sacrifice. After being away from their families. And financial sacrifice and your everyday putting their lives on the line to make the world a better place that I just got –”

” Appreciating KT McFarland pentagon official under President Reagan took his back to April 5. Of 1986. When then President Reagan said the F fifths sixteen jets have put the juice into Daffy — boost in his compound and take out his. Military installations in Tripoli. And then all of a sudden wacky — Daffy was quiet. Today he welcomes back to terrorists who killed 270. In the pan am flight over — the in the hero’s welcome. And in Iraq. As — ladies and gentlemen if you are not aware. Our American soldiers. Are being forced to stand by helplessly. Hundreds of wounded Iraqis on the ground. The Iraqi forces. Either incapable of responding. Was just overwhelmed. And we have to wait for the requests for help from Iraqi officials. That doesn’t come. As much as are many women wanna come. We have to be asked now. And the enemy is smart enough not to shoot at the American forces because naturally we will shoot back in we will take them out. — we have the watches. F do you see us. Burying Americans. Sending wounded Americans home mentally and physically damaged. We have to stand and watch the carnage — If — not gonna let our men and women finish the job let’s get him out. If the issue is one Achilles Sunnis and Sunnis want to kill the courage and they all wanna kill one another and you’re just gonna ask our troops is stand there and watch him be emasculated after they — so much and given so much. For our country then let’s get amounted. What’s the point.”
