Resolution a -- in the search."

" As we just cherish deep down our political leaders people with elected. I only got you know choose an -- that they were just saying Collins."

" For men. But yeah another yeah Republicans norm Coleman who's who may be running against al franken tree in the state of Minnesota to automate."

" If you got a lot -- gesture number one hit a resolution saying we support our soldiers about as simple we support our soldiers an effort that's speculative. If you gotta do directly from accuse about a living as we disagree with the president. But that the to a tentative tiptoe past it's gutless there's no one behind it's it's everybody said they had no way you're serious."

" It's CY eight times"

" well it but it won't work because they didn't really do. Rea you've got a couple are gagged at the edit Vietnam vet Republicans Nagle -- technical committee he's really go that. Comic in the present I -- a -- at 30 sever its sides present their right to 66. It's that the plan though that I talked about Eric air comes into my name got in on bill O'Reilly show last night that much. And do you eat in the top of the show -- She topped the eight block it like went that deficit after speaking twice at the free port."

" The other new book folks it's called on the hunt got -- right not -- on his lateness identified as it."

" Yet thank you is that if you got 19000 soldiers going to go to Baghdad in appointments -- about what about an article develop my province which act out west. Where the united army hasn't recovered fighting at that -- ears. That insurgency inside Baghdad is civil war. Well put it at that that's in the 19 doubt go into I think bite like. They did we didn't help our town up north two years ago any age comic -- in the cavalry. First cap. Did a brilliant job to begin at any did in having intimate I think in Baghdad and it cleared the area first Arab bloc like clear bright."

" The spartans are now they're running under a week ago is -- a union -- yeah slipped our -- got to get out. And we had a bad guys all the bad guys moved to hold the weight -- like that that's probably -- right."

" That's got that yet to check completing had to do a lot of fighting on the rooftops -- Larry is standing out on the streets. Our special force and no wins each fight and now -- American units in those places that they want they take it. Because in the past Iraqi units had not been able to sustain -- six and we're putting advises what -- and and -- My problem but the plan this too is that the Iraqis to -- we get this. Only 40% of Iraqi sold even showed up to come back yet. So there's wonders whether they'll show up -- doubts and the bad -- if they do what you just suggested. And go to Austin or people know talking."

" Yeah just the UI I Iraqi did not come about it not going to come a decade ago -- state in leaned out. Yeah and right. That that still -- to probably has."

" I don't understand two ways first so -- they were fighting a bunch of by al -- assumed the Saddam pipes right where we're -- favor for the Shiites. The next day we're going to see later said he and we start wipe out some Shiite militias and we're doing a favor for the people were wipe out the day before it I can't few hoops to"

" that market up Boris bad and ended two million people instruction. At the -- this barbarian that."

" That's being spent a couple of blocks they get it -- and you've got that out of Baghdad Tibet as they get caught in so it's a huge undertaking. I I think at first private soldiers and Marines special was terrible win every battle they aren't. There's no question is whether they when he went to turn over to where every one a call to direct restraining artwork and Iraqi police force has all boxed. Almost nonexistent as far as effectiveness. So late trading it's it's what happens once you return open that one over town section two Iraqi unit. That's the test and I think -- do you get the political developments inside Baghdad. And economic developments that let you sustain what you've done this it's risky to very risky want it to work. I -- like I doubt that it that's seven I think the Soviet world where America."

" You do with -- if you -- the call the shots which you have this merger would you do some."

" Allies I got 55 basis we've got in Baghdad there's like their martial law. Pushed up martial law quoted down the cut is much you can't starting erected collect all of malicious. I would close quote -- got occupied basis I'd like court that keep. -- or three. And -- about 50000 soldiers are guided to support Iraqis and continue training and put money at. I think we don't know and about what -- it by it but I was convinced the president just -- that we need to search. That it would be double what we've got a problem with this is we don't have -- what 20000. -- restricting as it is getting to between 1000."

" Let's make some calls for colonel David hunt on his 60 birthday one."

" And I -- our budget got a birthday one -- is such that. You're such of that."

" I didn't know -- your birthday he called up but you you volunteered dissent from."

" I don't mind the -- that part. We aren't they intercept it like it -- second of the 49."

" Because they -- be younger the may. Why 1877469432 to -- on your next with how we card colonel David hunt on his 32 birthday"

" I can't beat 3 September update 88 -- I LL made major --"

" Okay hold on -- we added we're up against that. Paul -- hold on we'll be right back with colonel David 187746 4322 this as a birthday we were just make you know well. Just another day and now."

" And I asked the congress authorize an increase in the size very active army Marine Corps by many 2000 in the next five years."

" asked to be done doesn't it colonel hunt."

" Your current Oakland and back -- colonel. Sorry ironies it's not my fault you turned 60 today what I did and maybe. I didn't -- well. We need those 92000 extra troops correct."

" I'm 2000 out of the president -- now out -- the deal I didn't think national service. Which is what we're going to come here that is repeating certain -- anyway Serbs in some capacity. I don't think you're gonna get 92000 volunteers right now I don't -- We -- we absolutely. Because right Needham because right now the Marines and in Iraq Afghanistan are rotating at least seven months. In combat in and out as hoped that this can't cannot count if they tell you how hard that -- On the marine his family and that you're an equipment. You'd just get going. In any and you got have to come back just have to just -- redeploy. Recent every seven months is an enormous strength so Marine Corps has got less than 2000 hole in the Marine -- but by law that you've you've got a far fewer actually -- all the Marines claim it would entered the real commitment. Street and away we use in the morning which is different than what it was done what it would get there on take the page they come back. We've got -- sustained combat which they're great we need more that we weren't special forces in more yes. Yet -- go away we need more guys at once you've got out great they are urged bush to -- where amount."

" But you know it's seems like the Democrats in an increasing number Republicans in congress think it is going to go away."

" Yeah that that's a -- that and I hope that -- that -- I think that we the region but I believe it has claimed faults. That look what we've done we have been hit we admit it you're. -- should I let that we protected Q and then you what I can say how many illegal aliens there that's something that."

" It we know we talked about that a with the Michael barone I mean you what sort of."

" Not to mention did you talk to Michael about it. This extraordinarily bad taste in ties mister Ali he will wear orange shirt and tie but I have -- folk art is very smart guy you don't. Great writer and getting good Jack. -- summit got talking about a particular guy who doesn't portable western Micronesia that."

" But I'm on TV as much as Michael brown. It on the radio I'm a radio guy you know based at least in the right I'm used to be used to be a TV guy in -- now but now -- now we're sweat shirts."

" There's a reason that only the top party an additional -- at the next. Urged let's call."

" In my column is my callable at Kerry is -- is now posted at the herald web sites in the book the wake up at least part of it is most times thanks for bringing it back. To me. Colonel on the let's let's go back to Ken sorry for making a hold on there can go ahead."

" That's like Ted it is casserly I eat yet cracked -- you're really and it's not. They I just I get two quick points earlier first all -- brown we tie -- 23 years military service. For his record 19 years US our reserve while everybody that a congratulations which we thank two quick points a -- and people complain about the death of -- salute I racked. I had -- items sold for me my unit mean it died a month after -- like -- popular personally street as a leader. But that's sort secondly it's -- the los seek out true but people still keep forgetting is that we're not reminded does not plague look politically correct that. The terrorist -- 3000 Americans collapses -- do it again. Point is we have the most. The best sources the most intelligent and -- administer that country we have the best weapons systems that we have had not country Minnesota nation. We can't deploy them because does not politically correct. Any -- Defeat an enemy that you can identify in World -- into the Germans would ward. Funny moments in the a and the Japanese -- distinct uniforms that we wanted artistry Egypt's -- in the -- to get guys how to help you win a war"

" Matt thank you service and ironic that you -- point. We talked about yet you got -- it one today -- do so much -- contract but eat and whether we know is pushing troubled -- you know we expect. 60 plus percent and said you know they don't like the way to --"

" Right here if you looked like he was you know a very subdued bought."

" and it is -- got an -- as -- you know -- got a great gadget -- but we won't you don't. We won't -- rest soccer. And that's been my complaint about biting their war wet -- so let them do their jobs -- seven different steps to rule of engagement. -- addition it is a fight we've but we prosecuted marine lieutenant number army guys protect marine lieutenant shooting a terrorist too many times."

" Betray -- betray us is going to do something about this it was an"

" David in a protest -- every -- like Pretoria I got to put up or shut up to dictate a lot of credit to stop. Let's say -- report back general he can make it makes some influence a smart smart guy. Ranariddh first and everybody liked his briefing now he's got."

" He took a source of great there was a big. Puff piece about a today in the New York Post."

" And we also get -- piece about a guiding John Abbott they'd have a date of Arabia they called me old incompetent and KOK we're going to -- guys. -- at least at least transporting realist resent this is going to be out. We have an upbeat or or down dire but it doesn't mean I hope I don't think it's hopeless I think the American well do and they always do when their fight. It's always gonna it's gonna be about when we trotted over like that -- hot that street Albert the Iraqi unit. I think extent -- aimed -- letting it show up once that happens condition your government. It's kind of -- up to a rock get its act together as -- and it and it in the end. Our military has has done their job the political part of this still a question."

" Thanks for the call -- Bob you're next with how we card colonel David hunt go ahead Bob."

" About violent but what are. Got about it I don't have a -- Belgrade born outside the aren't happy -- enemy we don't happy write papers -- the government resident -- educators say that again by the -- were the days -- where the best. Nothing is going to bring. I appreciate about -- lot equity question he got out we leave ourselves more vulnerable here by sending over a more."

" Troop can't we will -- great that's great international guard by the way out -- yes we can't act without -- or -- National Guard infantry brigades. Back to their second -- but it market for. It's great republic up wasted but with a number guys attending but it -- two -- With -- to a -- because a lot of soldiers and equipment architect -- social support but the key here is really in trouble we are maintaining it."

" Indeed that's partially good point -- I think colonel you talked about before at these -- invite. The war because they're not allowed and I wonder if it's we're -- I mean notes. Kind of cliche think fighting a losing battle the dispute about what we're doing by sending people over there is seven of the more presence over the habit but an a lot of do their jobs."

" it -- right and an end. I get it out you can be would be something we all can agree on what Israel spot has bought this summer -- yes and we are set and went. Israel they still had bombed Gordon rockets if you didn't let then sold -- to their jobs in Israel withdrawal and wonder was that Israel. He -- it didn't kill Hezbollah and it still there. Out -- much assure that it can't be set upon us right now. And their punishment if Israel could have. Destroyed -- they didn't do we can destroy the bad -- in Iraq were not being allowed to they can not going to do that in an insurgency. And you if you don't want it cannot winning illusion that you can't beat the most stalemate. In guerrilla war -- some of that that the probably got it depravity stack of victory not in this kind of a war and everybody -- Nobody predicted he would he era and he didn't get it. They are guys won't get it done it what do their jobs and it held that -- it went well allow them. To get a job"

" MAC -- we odds are what are the odds colonel birthday boy"

" I I'd say and it's -- four I want to rent credit of 40% chance that every it'll come optics that probably won't win the fight but it Iraqi show. I think it's 40% jet and by the way I think it's gotten overdone what -- us -- as people this country in April by April without page shall we might have to got I don't. If we don't -- exchanged quick to denounce the government of this stand up in political have to start if they arrests are -- They're going to commit batboy demand you don't terrible the black actor there what you're you go to jail."

" This is like reading this like carry on the hunt being -- gave you just you just keep ripping him Lee you hate him worse than you hey Bernie Carrick."

" It's a -- a mock up it's. -- I agree but musically --"

" The bought the guy is mobbed up for the -- over to portray the Iraqi police and we wonder what went wrong."

" You gotta love that you gotta -- that the characters is dip but it that they but that solder is killed Americans. And we've allowed start to become column."

" Most -- his people who were dressed up in the US uniforms and other."

" No yet they doubt about it Kelly about a way to else that that attack three years ago yeah they killed five soldiers in the security meeting. Having to secure you'd be. As these guys in black -- suburban."

" Yet nobody could recognize that these guys weren't Americans."

" While they went through three out of 123 Iraqi checkpoints. And we got -- American checkpoint they got that compound it killed five Americans -- all acutely and got to let. I didn't know this is a security immediate. So the bad guys were in Baghdad are not stupid they're ruthless killers but they're not stupid -- and it badges these that's well planned. Attack attack ethnic guerrilla tactic terrorist tactic"

" face for the call Bob Chris you're next with how we current colonel David hunt go ahead --"

" Expressed on values there again lit up despite a few questions he keeping on the outlook something when -- Aponte had at least 50000 documents the -- project. It and they are translated there was a lot of information that came out of it and some what was actually and studied over at West Point. And the thing is that with all the information he found out that there were connections between Saddam and and terrorism that thing -- the including Salman Pak. So why is that information what is it being ignored by I'd like to 9/11 commission and also maybe the direct that the group."

" That any other -- the out. It is our government. Ted Elliott and why that the commission why are -- talking heads that information our government a terrible job. And the public relations parts of it right -- how we know it was a terrorist training camp."
