Are the ones they highlight in that ad and its a smart thing for the obama campaign to do because those are popular positions as well as skillful ones. >> the country is sick to death of war. we are war -- a war weary country. that ad goes directly to the war weariness of the country. it says theres a clear choice. what mitt romney is going to try to do tonight and it makes sense for him strategically is try to muddy up the clarity of the house. dan senor this morning was like basically saying m...

Presidents handling of iraq and afghanistan with what romney has said he will do. lets take a look. >> a decade of war that cost us dearly, and now for president a clear choice. president obama ended the iraq war. mitt romney would have left 30,000 troops there and called bringing them home tragic. obamas brought 30,000 soldiers back from afghanistan and has a responsible plan to end the war. romney calls it obamas biggest mistake. its time to stop fighting over there and start rebuilding here. ...

Enriching more and more material inform this case, the surprise was, at that underground facility that you referred to, they have really made a lot of progress. i think the war talk and the talk of israel, with a possible strike, focuses their mind and they have spent more efforts trying to build centrifuges. but they havent been used yet. so it is not dire, but it shows steady progress on the part of iran. >> shannon: you mentioned israel and i want to mention something from prime minister benj...

Consensus tonight. it was a big speech about respect too. we have to respect what these people want to do. as we move forward, eugene, how do the hawkish republicans react too this speech over the next 24 hours? i think weve seen a shift today backing off on how they have handled the death of bin laden and the anniversary. how will they handle this? >> i think smart republicans will back off further. i think to attack a president, the speech of a president delivered in hostile territory in the m...

on a strong showing in tuesdays mississippi and alabama primaries, and hes still going after mitt romney, this time in reference to gas prices. >> the president seems to suggest to you just like dr. chu. dr. chu is the secretary of anti-energy. to be honest, he said that before he became secretary that he wanted americans to pay european levels of $9 or $10 a gallon. so last week -- give him credit for being honest. last week he testified in the house, and somebody from mississippi act...

>> i want to play a little bit of what the president said yesterday in the news conference regarding the rhetoric or the drum beat for war that is out there. particularly with the gop candidates. lets play it, please. >> if some of these folks think that its time to launch a war, they should say so. and they should explain to the american people exactly why they would do that and what the consequences would be. everything else is just talk. >> and speaking of talk, you were quoted in the "huffin...
