Again and perhaps being taken back out of russia. looking at that situation, we can see how the u.s. intelligence helps us in terms of determining our diplomatic approach to solving these situations. >> id guarantee to you by monday, if not now, theres a memo on the presidents desk, a combined memo reflecting the views of the intelligence community as to exactly what happened. and we will know, whether or not the american public will know in the days ahead quickly, or authoritatively, i dont kno...

We are always checking out social media to get motivation from success entrepreneurs out there. lets share some of what we found on twitter. small business expert and "usa today" small business columnist rhonda abrams tweets in the u.s., 49% of business prospects turn into sales with in-person interactions, 32% without. business coach jerry quinn says the more emotionally connecting experiences you create for customers, the more coins you put in the piggy bank of customer loyalty. heres someone ...

They could just as easily have come from any of ours. we must treat all of them as our own victims. we must stop at nothing to bring those responsible to justice. this appalling attack occurred in the context of a crisis that has been fueled by russian support for separatists through arms, weapons, and training. and by the russian failure to follow through on its commitments and by its failure to adhere to the fundamental principles of the u.n. charter. this war can be ended. russia can end this...

The military a.w.o.l. >> is the president a.w.o.l.? >> absolutely not. im a careful reader of the presidents and vice-presidents phone conversations every day with president poroshenko and european leaders. each one of them very carefully underlining the fact that russia and specifically in the obama call that russia had not lived up to any of the commitments that it had made and that it was extremely worrisome about the transfer of both personnel and heavy weapons. this was consistent in every ...

Sanctions, there had been a continuing pattern of cheat and retreat by putin. he has retreated, but then in effect, escalated the amount of military assistance that his military has basically been smuggling across the border. despite his commitments, putins commitments the to de-escalate, there has been a steady stream, based on u.s. intelligence, of more sophisticated air-to-ground missiles, as well as other artillery pieces that have fallen into the hands of russian separatists. the administra...
