now as unimac and still have probably more than 500 employees by now. romney and bain up ended the company and gutted the workforce. now, they were ready to make a handsome profit. chris: mr. tyler, here is the problem with that account of what happened at unimac and we put up a timeline. let s show it close. bain bought the company in 1998. romney left bain in 1999. you say maybe a little later. bain sold the company in 2004. it was the new owners, the new owners the, a canadian pension fund that shut down the florida plant those folks are talking about in 2005. mitt romney had absolutely nothing to do with the shutting down of unimac. if this document right here shows that mitt romney was part of bain as late as 2001 when said he left in 1999. chris: they didn t sell is until 2004. the workers by the way, i reviewed the entire transcript
is another abu ghraib and will show the callousness of u.s. soldiers in the world. it is not clear that abu ghraib made that much difference ultimately in the arab world. i think wiebe blowing it up we helped cause that difference. and also it would have been nice if the secretary of defense could have said a few things about the 99% of marines and soldieriers who behaved inn eck emlary way. this ba at iton suffered a lot of deaths and wounded in the tough fighting. instead to go on tv and criticize our own troops i don t think this is a good thing. chris: let me come at this from a different angle. the taliban which i think we all would agree has a terrible record of brutal behavior including beheadings expressed outrage at the video. here is a comment from the spokesman for the taliban. it was despicable and
