[laughter] >> israel has killed 1400 people and carried out an assassination in dubai and now kill people on the high seas. there has been ritual condemnation on each incident. i support that consummation. -- condemnation. they cannot act illegally with impunity and kill people like they have done on the high seas. >> israel will be listening to a condemnation in the house. i don't think that the correct policy is to impose sanctions. i think the right policy is to urge a course of action which is a lifting of the restrictions of the blockade of the gaza strip and the setting up of a truly credible and independent investigation. i think those are part of the practical way forward. the right foreign policy for this country. >> would you agree that the effect for the brutal israeli blockade of the cause a strip -- of the gauze a strep -- gaza strip and the blockade is from. >> hamas is able to attack the importation of goods for the tunnells. this is a further reminder that this is not an effective policy. >> the israelis are aware of what has happened to this week. hopefully, they will tak

when i visited qatar, dubai, uae -- and i represent hilton head island -- i tell these people that they look like hilton head island on steroids. these people want to live in the 21st century. you are right. usama bin laden's first target was the royal family of saudi arabia. we should expect more from them and work to stop the financing of terrorism. what is frustrating, everywhere you go, you see islamic charities. the vast majority of these charities are working to alleviate poverty in the region, but some are fronts for terrorism. we must depend on our allies for their own self-interest, self preservation, they need to be working with us to uncover the level of terrorist financing. host: we are talking about the state of terrorism. let's listen to an exchange between general petraeus and john mccain. >> could you clarify the difference between what you said and what is quoted in the book? "i am confident we can train and handle the ana in that timeframe. if you cannot do those things that you say we can, no one will suggest that you stay, right? ?" that is a direct quotation from th
