Doesnt. and that is where i would like to see this go. she waived her fifth amendment privilege, if you remember back in may she made 17 separate factual assertions. that is a lot of talking for somebody who wants to remain silent. either she talks and will negotiate a resolution with her or she doesnt and we hold her in contempt in front of congress. >> well, it sounds like well never hear from her. because darrell issa indicated as much. >> martha, i did this for 16 years, trust me, we can get...

Delusional about this. >> at the united nations, samantha power followed in a long tradition of american u.n. ambassadors telling their soviet and now russian counterparts that they are inventing their own facts. >> so many of the assertions made this afternoon by the russian federation are without basis in reality. lets begin with a clear and candid assessment of the facts. it is a fact that russian military forces have taken over ukrainian border posts. it is a fact that russia has taken over ...

Some other world. i think that either he does not have the facts, he is being fed propaganda, or his own propaganda, it doesnt make any sense. there are no calls for assistance. there is not this kind of a crisis in terms of the way that the russian-speaking people are in some way being harmed. and so this is all made up. and i think its part of a much longer-term plan that putin has had, which is to try to recreate some form of relationship between ukraine and moscow. i think that is the traged...

Helplessness in gridlock. the other thing is the public safety angle and thats the one that ive measured a lot of response from readers is this idea that we were delaying or somehow hampering on a 9/11 anniversary, somehow hampering public safety efforts. and maybe nothing catastrophic happened as a result and i think were all happy about that, but, you know, even when you walk down that path of disrupting that in any way, i think that is where some of the serious questions get raised. >> on the...
