Into coming up with a common sense solution we would do something. i think this is what the american public want us to do. they want to see us sit down work it out. >> im glad congressman, you bring up the importance of words, because indeed it is about legalization for a three-year period, it is not amnesty. every time you see legalization some come up with amnesty, fireworks go off, smoke comes out of peoples ears. this is about legalizing people who have u.s. important children or u.s. reside...

Warranted by the progress weve made, the eu foreign policy chief said weve made tangible progress but theres still significant gaps. they make it sound like theyre on the edge, rick, do you believe in four months theyre going to come back and say halleluijah we did it? >> yeah, ive used that same language as a government spokesman and it really means we need more time. theyre not anywhere closer. and, again, the iranians only come to the point when theres a deadline, when theres actually somethi...

Are we in a crisis now of such magnitude that this and also with the middle east that it should be not business as usual? >> well, this is a very hard time. with isis and its caliphate in the middle of syria and in the middle of iraq with them marching on baghdad, with whats happening with iran and the p5 plus 1. gaza, russia, the ukraine. so i think this is a most difficult time. now, look, i am not going to tell the president what to do. but i think the world would very much respect his increa...

This. i think europe has to come together. i think germany in particular has to lead. i think we have to continue with sanctions. its difficult because you need help in so many things, the p5 plus 1, syria, and it goes on and on and a lot of our energy is tied up in russia, but you cannot let this kind of thing happen. and russia continues to prepare it for the next strike-down of a civilian plane. there are a lot of things that one can say as well, planes shouldnt have been over there in the fi...

How can anyone view this as anything other than the lowest moment between united states and russia in the post-cold war environment? >> david, you can get into these grand proclamations about where things are and where they arent. the fact is we live in an extremely complicated world right now where everybody is working on ten different things simultaneously. russia is working with us in a cooperative way on the p5 plus 1. we just had important meetings in vienna. >> this is about irans nuclear ...

Community and i told them, im coming to you from chairing a meeting of 130 countries where iran is the chairman and they support us. they believe -- actually 180-some members of the npt believe and they repeatedly said it in 1990 and in 2010 that countries choices of their fuel cycle should be respected. so its not the international community. its a few countries who have concerns, and we are talking to them in order to address those concerns, but those concerns, there are international criteria...

I think the problem has been that when you, you know, try to get some kind of, you know, tough guy in there, dont be surprised if he doesnt listen to you all the time. and thats been a big problem with maliki. >> what do you think about this idea that conditioning u.s. air strikes on maliki making some political changes, whether that means changing the composition of the government, or actually stepping aside? what do you think about that as a kind of diplomatic strategy at this point? >> well, ...

What do you think about that as a kind of diplomatic strategy at this point? >> well, it always runs the risk where you say to some unpopular dictator, hey, work with us, well try to take care of this and, oh by the way, wed like you gone. so that i think requires a little nuance and i think the president was really trying to do that. but there is an opportunity here. its true that malikis coalition just won this, or just came out ahead in this election, but he does need to put together a broade...
