(Note: This event was fed in progress.)
SEC. GATES: (In progress) -- so what I'm hearing you say is that the engine and drivetrain and all aren't as heavy-duty -- heavy-duty enough to carry the armor that they have on them?
Q: Well, that the older 1114s -- the 1151s were designed for the weight. And we're slowly getting those in, but a lot of it's -- a lot of the companies still have 1114s.
SEC. GATES: How do you all think things are going here?
Q: (Inaudible.)
Q: I think that one of the biggest things for people out here, those who are out on the road every day and they're (patrolling ?) the streets, you see a lot of them -- (inaudible) -- training Iraqi troops, see a much bigger impact and progress within the people than someone such as myself, who's a communicator -- you know, I sit behind a switchboard and program routers all day long -- versus people -- (inaudible) -- different job.
Q: And we -- down in 214 we just incorporated another Iraqi company. We have a power plant for our patrol base -- (inaudible) -- an Iraqi company down there. They're (working ?) pretty well for us now. The Iraqis are able to get more intelligence on some aspects than we can. (It's ?) a better understanding of their own people, I guess.
SEC. GATES: Any other comments?
Q: Yeah, on the Iraqi army, (in fact they're pretty fun to train ?). They pick up on --
SEC. GATES: Well, now that's a description I haven't heard yet. (Laughter.)
Q: (Off mike) -- we go out -- (off mike) -- with us, we push them ahead of us. And from the little bit of training (that it will be, generally ?), they pick up (what we have ?).
SEC. GATES: So you think that the Iraqis you're working with are pretty good troops?
Q: (Off mike) -- you know -- (off mike) -- American -- (off mike) -- a little bit more training, more training time -- (off mike) -- you know -- (off mike).
SEC. GATES: Do you have any -- do you operate very often with the Iraqi police?
Q: We -- I'd say (maybe about twice a week ?).
Yeah, they do real good -- (off mike). A little bit more -- (off mike) -- other than -- (off mike) -- pretty much -- (off mike).
SEC. GATES: The Iraqi troops that you're working with and training -- do you have the sense they see themselves as Iraqi or as Sunni or Shi'a?
Q: They're Iraqi troops -- (off mike) -- for the most part.
SEC. GATES: Don't want to cut you all out of the conversation.
Q: Thank you.
Q: (Inaudible) -- for Iraq?
SEC. GATES: (Off mike) -- headed in a positive direction, I mean, be honest with me.
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC GATES: Do you think they're ready to take it on themselves?
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC. GATES: Just based on what you've observed, what kind of timeline do you think is involved before they're ready to operate on their own? Hard to say.
Q: (Off mike) -- a few more years -- (inaudible) -- their army lacks is discipline? I mean -- (inaudible) -- and motivated, but working with some of the MiTT teams, you know, it's too cold, they don't want to change, it's too hot, they don't want to change. (Inaudible) -- they just lack the discipline that the United States military has, and that comes from years, I guess -- (inaudible). I mean, if we could establish -- (inaudible) -- that'd be great.
Q: They can just leave any time they want.
Q: Yeah.
Q: They don't have to show up. There's no set pattern (where ?) you have to show up at work every day. It's not like -- (inaudible.) My experience -- (inaudible.)
SEC. GATES: In terms of trying to get some perspective on it, have you seen -- and maybe I'm just asking the same question in a different way -- have you seen an improvement in the quality and the caliber and discipline of the Iraqi troops? Is it flat or headed down?
Q: It's improving -- (inaudible) -- it's improving -- a struggle. I mean, of course -- the more -- like I say, we had one team -- (inaudible) -- supposedly another down near -- (inaudible) -- and the more they work with us, the more they're slowly picking up on our traits. I mean, you see them sort of starting trying to act like us and stuff, and it's good; you know, little brother trying to act like a big brother, and, you know, it's good. They're coming along. It's just a process. But you definitely see it coming along.
SEC. GATES: Anybody else?
Q: (Off mike) -- the (IA ?) -- (off mike) -- Iraqis. The (IE ?) is -- (off mike).
SEC. GATES: Do y'all have any questions you want to ask us?
Q: What are the plans for quality of life? I mean, I know that there's a lot of quality-of-life projects going on, you know, in sector for the Iraqi people. But I don't see it as a country --
SEC. GATES: I thought you were asking about the quality of your life.
Q: No. (Laughter.) No, I'm just --
SEC. GATES: Well, I think that clearly, as we're looking at the next steps, there is, I think, a very clear understanding that if there is a hold operation, that -- certainly my view -- something needs to happen within hours that communicates the message to the residents of the neighborhood that's been cleared that having a cleared neighborhood quickly produces firm improvements in the quality of life, whether it's hooking up the sewer line or picking up the trash or something like that.
So I personally sort of see it in three phases. And I think people back in Washington are really working to strengthen the reconstruction component of whatever initiative the president announces, with the understanding that something that happens immediately, something that then happens over the course of the next week or two, and then something that's more long-term in terms of job creation and that sort of thing -- that that's a really huge component to the hold element, is people believing that things really are better and a willingness to come forward, like you were saying, with information about bad guys coming into the neighborhood, because they've got a stake in not letting it revert.
So there are a lot of folks back in D.C. working on that -- and understand the importance of it in terms of -- the analogy that I use is the tide coming in and the tide going out. If the military comes in and nothing happens behind it, in terms of quality of life and reconstruction, when the tide goes out. You can't ever tell anybody was there.
Q: Right.
SEC. GATES: And so I think people really do have an understanding.
Q: (It is in bad shape ?).
SEC. GATES: Yeah.
Q: (It's something else ?).
SEC. GATES: The unemployment rates are sky-high.
But there are all kinds of opportunities that we're looking at. For example, there are a lot of state-owned factories that are actually still in pretty good shape, that have been shuttered or aren't being used, except very, very lightly. How can we get some of those restarted and get people in them and manufacturing things and real jobs?
So I think it's a very important matter. It's -- I mean, the Department of Defense has, I think -- I think the earlier in the process, the bigger role we have. But then as it moves along, then it needs to transition to both the Iraqi government and to the State Department and others and folks like the PRTs, and there's a clear understanding of the importance of it. Getting it done (on the dollars ?) is the challenge, but it's clearly a priority.
Other questions?
Q: Actually, quality of life -- (inaudible) -- some other questions -- (inaudible) -- units, when they come together from -- whether they're from Germany or other states, there's always a big difference in soldiers' quality of life. It always seems so -- (you ?) stateside have a lot more benefits than those who overseas in Germany. Is there -- (inaudible) -- of improvement in those overseas?
SEC. GATES: What kind of benefits do you have in mind?
Q: One of the biggest subjects is always barracks and types of barracks that people -- personnel live in. One of the biggest stories you always hear is from people who had just come from the States is that they feel as though they were living in a small apartment, like a one-room apartment. And a lot of times you hear people from -- (inaudible) -- say it's though they feel like they're living in a closet where you have community bathrooms.
SEC. GATES: In Germany?
Q: In Germany. And those in the States are -- you said it's like a one-person apartment with a kitchenette, personal bathrooms. They have a lot more privacy. They have their personal space. (So they feel more of a person ?).
SEC. GATES: I have to defer to my colleagues on that -- (inaudible).
Q: (Off mike) -- options on benefits in -- (off mike) -- you're reducing the number of people -- (off mike) -- reduction in Europe -- (off mike) -- investment -- (off mike) -- individual efforts -- (off mike). I was in -- (off mike) -- about three or four years ago -- (off mike).
One of the problems you have is, you can't build a unit (in Germany; you only renovate others ?), which puts some limitation on all the elements you can upgrade in the barracks facilities. So you -- (off mike) -- so it gives you more flexibility -- (off mike) -- doing renovations at old barracks in Europe -- (off mike). You mention -- (off mike) -- same quality. That's one of the things -- (off mike).
Does it answer your question? (Off mike.)
Q: (Off mike) -- barefoot.
Q: (Chuckles.)
Q: The 10th Mountain --
Q: (Off mike.)
Q: Yeah, the 10th Mountain barracks -- (inaudible). (Laughter, cross talk.)
Q: (Off mike.)
Q: We have too many -- (off mike) -- brick walls.
SEC. GATES: Other questions?
Q: I have a question.
SEC. GATES: Yeah.
Q: You've been given a -- you've taken on a huge task here. What are some of the things that you see that you think that need to be changed here, you know, throughout the Iraq war?
SEC. GATES: Well, that's really -- one of the main purposes of my trip was to try and identify those things. When I was out here with that status -- the study group in early September, we were clearly asking a different kind of -- a different set of questions than the kinds of issues that I face now that I have real responsibility for, instead of kibitzing from the sidelines.
And so one of the reasons to come out here and talk to you all, as well as with the commanders, is to see what we need to do. I mean, the president's been pretty clear, and it's pretty obvious that things aren't getting particularly better here. And the question is, what needs to be done to change the dynamic here?
It doesn't matter whether you buy the study group's description of the situation as "grave" and "deteriorating" or "we're not winning, we're not losing," or whatever. However you characterize it along those lines, that's not good enough. And I think that the president and everybody agrees with that.
And so what we're trying to figure out is what combination of new things going forward will change that dynamic, will put us on an upward slope, where the Iraqis become more and more capable, more and more able to take the lead, and we can begin this process of transitioning to them responsibility for their own security over the longer term. And at some point we reduce our own presence here.
I think we're going to have to support them in a lot of ways -- logistics and communications and so on -- probably for a lot longer than we need a major combat presence here.
Q: Right.
SEC. GATES: But if we're successful, that will be in a much more secure environment.
So I'm trying to figure out the specifics on all of this in terms of what to recommend to the president. You've got an awful lot of people in Washington, both at DOD and elsewhere in the government and at the White House, trying to put together a package of initiatives, a package of new ways of doing things that holds greater promise of faster progress. And it's everything from what you raised in terms of economic reconstruction to how best to work with the Iraqis and enhancing the quality of their troops and meeting their growing desire to have control over their own forces, but also to make sure that they don't fail. It's really important to us that they succeed.
I think another dimension of this that's really changed -- and regardless of how we got here, the reality is that, as I said in my confirmation hearings, pretty much all the bad guys in the Middle East are here now.
Q: That's right.
SEC. GATES: And so it's not purely an Iraqi problem. It's mostly an Iraqi problem, but not entirely. And you've got Syria and especially Iran playing a very negative role here now. Two years ago -- two and a half years ago, that was more of a mixed picture. I think it's more completely negative now.
And figuring out how to approach not only the problems inside Iraq but how to look at this whole situation in a regional context in terms of our staying power here in this whole area is clearly very important. And we need to make damn sure that the neighbors understand we're going to be here a long time, "here" meaning the Persian Gulf area, not necessarily here in Iraq.
We will be here as long as the Iraqis want us to be here and we think we can be helpful. And as we've all said, we can't fail here, the consequences are too great; and they're too great mainly because of all these regional implications, in addition to what happens to the Iraqi people themselves.
So that's a long and roundabout answer to your question, but the bottom line is that we're trying to identify the best mix of new ideas and improved old ideas that will change the dynamic here and put this country and its government more clearly on a path first of all to getting control of the security situation and then beginning to rebuild.
Q: Are you going to meet with any of the Iraqi army commanders?
SEC. GATES: I don't think I'm meeting with the army commanders themselves. I did meet after dinner last night with the minister of Defense, and we'll see him and other members of their National Security Council, the minister of Interior and others this afternoon. And I'll meet with the prime minister this afternoon. But I don't think I'm meeting with any of their commanders themselves.
Do you have any sense of the quality -- I mean, you all have ideas about the quality of your own commanders. Do you have any perceptions of the quality of their leadership?
Q: (Inaudible) -- pretty good, sir.
SEC. GATES: Is your exposure sort of at their mid-grade level?
Q: No, like (lower ?) -- company commanders --
SEC. GATES: Yeah, captains and lieutenants and so on.
Q: I deal with a lot of lieutenants. Lieutenants are very knowledgeable about what they're doing, and they're eager to learn. (Inaudible) -- stopping a lot of (police department things ?). And I think a lot of that comes from the kidnapping of (women ?) and all the (damage ?) that goes with it.
Q: I think one of the things that we need to do is integrate them more into our patrols. We work with them now, and it's been working down there. And I think if we did that more (on the border ?) -- (inaudible) -- because the way we're doing it is they're seeing how our team leaders and our company commanders are doing it. So they're trying to (shadow us ?) -- (inaudible) -- the way they do it is the way we're going to do it. (Inaudible) -- right now. It's working for them. And like I said, I've definitely in the last six months seen improvement.
SEC. GATES: It certainly has been my impression that however the embedding takes place, that it really ends up being very useful OJT for them. You know, watching how you all do it, how your leaders do it, and then kind of picking it up that way.
Do you all have any thoughts in terms of how we might do what you were just talking about better?
Q: Right now, I know that the Iraqi army is short on people. I mean, they're going short, I know that they're short -- (inaudible). So we can only get so many people trained at one time. We have in our sector alone about three companies of Iraqi, one company done, got one of -- (inaudible) -- another. So if we could get more, that would be ideal, but I mean --
SEC. GATES: Do you all feel you're short of American troops?
Q: We're always short. I mean -- (laughter.) The military is always short on people, so you do what you got.
SEC. GATES: You know, there's a penalty you have to pay if you don't speak up. (Laughter.) There's a fine at the end of the breakfast.
Q: (Inaudible.)
SEC. GATES: The raw numbers, in terms of number recruited, seem pretty robust. From what I hear you guys saying, that doesn't necessarily mean all those folks are showing up every day.
Q: (Inaudible.)
SEC. GATES: Do they talk about a sense of their families being at risk by them having --
Q: Not so much but, like -- (inaudible.) (Inaudible.) So that may be a little more intimidating, to get out of those vehicles, things of that nature, to actually get out and put their feet on the ground. (Inaudible.)
SEC. GATES: What else is going on?
Q: A big thing, sir -- (inaudible) -- there's a lot of crooked (folks ?) within the army now. One big thing which I get a lot -- (inaudible) -- two or three weeks. His concern is -- I guess you could say he likes to -- (inaudible) -- what's going on. (Inaudible) -- like Colonel Llewellyn (ph) has received -- (inaudible) -- death threats within the past month.
SEC. GATES: So when you say that some of the soldiers -- some in the Iraqi army are crooked, you mean that they've got mixed loyalties.
Q: (Inaudible.)
SEC. GATES: So it's not so much theft or things like that you're talking about, it's --
Q: (Inaudible.) One example would be Mr. Talil (ph). He's the (SG ?) -- (inaudible). We were conducting an operation with the Iraqi army -- (inaudible). Two days prior, he went on leave. The day of the operation, he came back, and when we -- (inaudible) -- do the (raid ?) -- (inaudible). Another thing, the Iraqi army -- (inaudible) -- knocking on doors. There were little (black tapes ?), they would skip those doors. They'd knock and walk to the next door. Of course, (Mr. Talil ?) is right there -- (inaudible). He kicks in one door, and then he'll move -- (inaudible). The integrity of -- (inaudible) -- is really bad. (Him/them ?) being crooked is not -- (inaudible).
SEC. GATES: Any other comments? How much longer -- let's go on. How much longer do you all have on your current tour?
Q: (Inaudible.)
Q: I've heard rumors that it was June. And that's about all I know, sir.
Q: August.
Q: June.
Q: January.
Q: (Inaudible.) (Laughter.)
SEC. GATES: Honest answer.
Q: November.
Q: June, sir.
SEC. GATES: So do you-all think we need more U.S. troops here?
Q: Yes.
Q: Yes, sir.
Q: I think we need better -- a different vehicle for patrols. I don't think the humvee is the right vehicle. You know, there's too many people dying over here, you know, getting injured, coming home with no legs or arms or whatever. They humvee is not made for this. It's a light vehicle. (Inaudible) -- in an urban environment -- (inaudible). I mean, I know some -- (inaudible) -- some -- (inaudible) -- I was told last night that the (explosively formed ?) projectiles can actually do in an Abrams Tank -- (inaudible) -- (177 Armor ?) -- (inaudible) -- tank --
STAFF (?): (Off mike) -- some of these things we can't -- (inaudible) -- that's just the way it is.
SEC. GATES: (Inaudible.)
STAFF (?): (Inaudible) -- IEDs. I mean, luckily, we can find them a lot more and, you know, detonating them. So we've been getting a lot better at finding them parts -- (inaudible) -- and that's -- you know, prevention is our biggest weapon right now.
SEC. GATES: Well, it's pretty clear they're the primary source of casualties among -- (inaudible) -- troops.
So what advice to you all have for me? I'm brand-new at my job. This is my fourth day on the job. (Soft laughter.) This may be your one and only chance to --
Q (?) Keep an open mind.
SEC. GATES: About?
Q (?) I think -- just to -- any information would be good from people. (Inaudible.) Listen to a lot of people, a lot of different people, taking advice from multiple sources and (respond ?) -- (inaudible) --
SEC. GATES: Well, you all have a great task, too. Mine's probably traumatically less risky. Actually, I like that. I like that question. Let's start down here. What advice would you give the secretary of Defense?
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC. GATES: Go back to Texas A&M? (Laughter.)
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC. GATES: Well, I can guarantee you all, I didn't come back to government after all this time to play any kind of politics. I'm going to do what I think is right, and at least in terms of the advice I give the president, whatever decisions I make. And I can guarantee you that my decisions and recommendations won't be shaped by politics in any way, shape or form.
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC. GATES: Yep.
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC. GATES: I'm sorry?
Q: (Off mike.)
SEC. GATES: (Off mike.) (Laughter.) Yeah, we'll come back. You won't escape, but you can skip.
Q: (Off mike) -- a lot of different players that are playing a role right now in Iraq. With the knowledge that you gained while being director of CIA, and also your long career, and just try to find a creative solution, and we'll support -- (inaudible) -- with the whole region to try to -- (inaudible).
Q: In my opinion, sir, I believe soldiers need more authority to do their job in the way it needs to be done because I feel there's too many political issues involved with pleasing some people or there are so many paperwork trails for little things that are unnecessary. Just for example, down in Kuwait we had to get a memo to get a memo for fuel. And it shouldn't be like that. I believe if you need fuel, you go get fuel.
You know, what you said, so many things have changed just between a year and a half and the time -- (inaudible) -- my second rotation here.
SEC. GATES: It's more bureaucratic now than it was?
Q: Yes, sir.
SEC. GATES: Do you say that, too?
Q: Roger. You know, we're given orders to, hey, get the job done. I believe we should -- okay, roger -- (inaudible) -- go get the job done, not have to, you know, run around the block three times before we can start the job. I think that's how I feel how things seem to be going in a lot of places.
SEC. GATES: You all share that?
Q: Roger, sir.
Q: A lot of things are -- (inaudible) -- more about getting out -- (inaudible) -- doing what you're doing, some of the little stuff, you know, i.e., fuel, or whether or not we have to get some extra (go meals ?) from the (chow house ?) -- (inaudible) -- going on patrol -- (inaudible) -- little things. But we've been here long and some people are getting complacent, which is in the nature of the beast.
SEC. GATES: (Inaudible word.)
Q: Don't sweat the small stuff.
Q: Sir, I think we need to just keep doing what we're doing and support the people out here, because I really think we need more troops here. I really think we need more troops in Iraq. I fly UAVs, and I know as a presence in the sky that the insurgents, when you're flying above them, don't do anything. They stop. They'll stop doing what they're doing. So I'm just thinking that maybe more presence on the ground, more troops, might be able to hold them off long enough to where we can actually get some of the Iraqis trained up strong to where they can hold it themselves.
Q: Just keep us in mind over here. Let us help you make your decisions. Take our advice.
Q: I would just like to see more development in -- (inaudible) -- Iraqi army taking control -- (inaudible).
Q: I actually do think we need more troops over here, but I also think that -- like, we've all been asked, how long do you think you're going to be here, how long do you think the war's going to last? And I don't think you can -- (inaudible). And having more troops here would help us integrate the Iraqis into our patrols and it would help them finally take the first step in -- they're already in the first step in the process of taking over.
But also, with -- (inaudible) -- one of the things that -- I know 189, they do a lot of patrolling -- (inaudible). They walk the streets, they -- (inaudible). We take them things, we help with their water, their food -- take them (dumpsters ?) so they can clean up their area and stuff. Those people come back to us and help us out -- (inaudible). But after we've been in that town or village for a month, they come out.
We have -- I work in a brigade support battalion, and we have medics and (truck drivers ?) -- (off mike). And the medics in my battalion have -- (off mike) -- like 40-foot -- (off mike). And it's called the "Doc in a Box." And they take this "Doc in a Box" -- (off mike) -- and actually open it up, and the troops go out and let everybody know, "Hey, the doctor's here."
And the first one they did it in, it was about three hours for the first patient to come in. And after that, they just started flowing in, those people. And (if you happen ?) to send that "Doc in a Box" down there now, they come out. They're happy to see it. And would more troops mean that we'd do that? And having more feet on the ground, I think we'd see a big reaction (that we've had here ?) already. This "Doc in a Box" thing has only been in effect for maybe a month.
SEC. GATES: Hm.
Q: (I'd say it's probably anecdotal, but ?) -- (off mike) -- soldiers -- (off mike) -- very important. And for people waiting -- (off mike).
Q: (Off mike.)
Q: (Off mike) -- a bunch of valid points, but I don't -- I can't talk -- (off mike). I'm happy to have -- (off mike). (Chuckles.)
Q: A little bit in the same way, sir. I -- as I work up in the brigade, I produce -- (inaudible) -- for division -- not from division, for the brigade. Some of the stuff I've seen sounds like, (as you said, would be the little nit-picky ?) stuff, but some of the (stuff ?) needs to concentrate more on the bigger areas, like the vehicles, the up-armor and stuff, what they were saying earlier about getting them better developed (ones ?).
(Off mike) -- don't get to see much, sir, sitting behind a computer almost all day.
SEC. GATES: (Chuckles.)
Q: (Off mike) -- sir -- (off mike) -- take all of this that you're getting, all the way from generals to privates, take all of that information -- (off mike) -- a plan of attack -- (off mike).
I do think that -- I don't know where (you're getting all the troops, but technically ?), maybe we do need to see more (sugar pumpers ?) down here, people that are out in the street, you know, out there, talking to public, you know, helping them out, getting their electricity going, their water starting to going. Just normal everyday things that the American public will take advantage of, they don't have in Iraq. And I think that once you get their basics set in place, as in water, electricity and employment, they're going to be less inclined to go to, say, the Jaish al-Mahdi or something like that, and ask them for their help.
Unemployment, poverty -- it all breeds criminal activity -- (inaudible). That's what they're faced -- that's what they are faced with out there, either get a job or, you know, start committing crimes.
Q: (Inaudible.)
SEC. GATES: You get the last word.
Q: I think -- (inaudible) -- the hearts-and-minds aspect of it. I think we're (doing ?) that, but I think we're thinking about that too much. And I think we need to separate -- like if we bring more troops over, that would be a great thing, I think, but we need to separate and have, like, teams who are (training ?) -- (inaudible) -- and you've got teams where you can deal with the local populace, worry about their food, water, electricity, carrying trash, and have more (teams ?) to do our job, to put boots -- (inaudible) -- on the insurgency and the sectarian violence and things of that nature. If you get a team that has the ability to go out and not worry about handing out -- (inaudible) -- and stuff like that, and they remain focused -- (inaudible) -- (battle on ?) that insurgency, I think it will be more -- (inaudible) -- more of a positive effect on the battlespace, then slowly -- (inaudible) -- IA working toward that -- (inaudible) -- and stuff like that -- (inaudible) -- on the street.
Q: (Inaudible) -- troops, I know we -- most of us are on second, people on third, fourth deployments -- know we don't have the troops. I just think we need to train more Iraqis, get more Iraqis, concentrate on that, make them (improve ?) their country, make them run their country. That's the only way we're going to leave here, have them run it. I mean --- (inaudible) -- more troops, like I say, most of us are on our second or third deployment. So the reason why we're here, again, is because there are no more troops. If we train the Iraqis, get the Iraqis up to speed so they can take it over, I think that's the best thing.
SEC. GATES: Well, I want to thank all of you for being here this morning, and I want to thank you for your candor. But above all, I want to thank you for your service. You-all are really the point of the spear out here. And there's a great story in one of Stephen Ambrose's books about World War II, where some guy on the very front line was interviewed in his foxhole and was asked about the rear echelon. And he said, "Listen, as far as I'm concerned, every son of a bitch behind ME is rear echelon. " (Laughter.) So we're all rear echelon, I guess, and you all are out here and putting it on the line every day.
And we're really proud of you and really grateful to you. And I think I speak for General Pace and all the rest of us, that we're very, very proud just to be associated with young people like you-all, and thanks a lot. Good luck to you.

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid characterized relations with Senate Republicans as "obstructionism on steroids" and said he expects Senate Democrats to do well in this year's election.
The Nevada Democrat had harsh words for Republicans, saying that the tea party is leading the GOP "right over the cliff."
"This Congress isn't over," he said on NBC's Meet the Press. "All I ask is for Republicans to understand what legislation is all about. It's the art of compromise and building a consensus."
Reid went on to support President Obama's quartet of recess appointments last week, and expressed confidence that they would withstand legal scrutiny. He also said his party is doing well protecting its majority in this year's elections, and had kind words for former Senator Bob Kerrey, who is mulling a run in Nebraska, where Sen. Ben Nelson is retiring.
"Bob Kerrey is one of the most interesting, dynamic, heroic people I've ever served with," Reid said. "We have a lot of good Democratic prospects. We have Massachusetts. We have North Dakota. We've got Arizona. We've got Nevada. We're doing just fine with prospects. Kerrey would certainly add to that."

mork, yours and country's public obsession with "whacking" is really perverse.
Another laugher in the long line of "the democrats have done dumb things so it's okay if the republicans do dumb things." Romney is a prideless cad, a credit to his goofy religion.
That's a sweeping assumption. Could have been a vehicle mechanical malfunction, or he could have been avoiding hitting a dog or person. Nobody knows.
Coastal-- You hit the nail on the head. As an eastern Oregon Duck fan, the new Pac 12 network is going to REDUCE our opportinities to watch the Ducks on TV. Our cable services here are marginal at best, and satellite is by far the best overall option. Yet it is highly unlikely either Dish or Directv will buy into the Pac 12 network.
We were much better off with Root and Versus, but they're now out of the equation.
Yes, a pompous editorial. Instead of lambasting the Port of St. Helens for cheating in order to approve the export plan, the mamby-pamby Ed Board gives us a condescending, fence-sitting fluff piece tooting on about the pros and cons of Oregon being a coal freeway.
With LNG and coal export proposals, and timber exports to the far east, Oregon has become nothing more than a third-world resource colony. We are willing to sell our soul for a few jobs, while simultaneously boosting competing economies, funneling them more filthy energy sources so Mal-Wart can continue to boost its profits selling cheap foreign crap to the ignorant.
Our so-called leaders have the economic and environmental awareness of second graders, and our journalistic institutions are about as sharp as slugs.
Covering rail cars isn't cost-effective. It's cheaper to poison people with coal dust. Besides, you can't cover the barges that run from Arlington, so let the coal dust feed what's left of our Columbia River salmon. They could use a nutritional boost.
Roughly 94 percent of old growth on federal land has been logged. There are about 77,000 miles of logging roads on Oregon national forests. In the 1980s, There were several years when more than four billion board feet were removed from national forests in Oregon.
If you think Oregon's national forests are not overcut, don't just believe the endangered species listings, do a flyover, then tell us we should log more.
Good point. And maybe while they're at it, the ED Board can explain what "prudent" timber cutting means.
JohnSmith, If you privatize federal land, the buyers would be big timber companies. They'd pay very little in property taxes, the PILT and timber receipt payments would disappear. They'd cut down every merchantable tree, and move to Brazil when the well runs dry. If you wanted to hunt, fish or otherwise recreate on their land, better be prepared to pay big fees to camp in clearcuts. And be prepared for your tax dollars to be dedicated to cleaning up the mess they leave.
What's a "libard?" Did you mean "lizard?" And how do you write laws that don't let lawsuits happen? Do you not want there to be any laws? whazdat all about?
I have never received food stamps, and unlike you, I don't cook lettuce or cantaloupe.
Egg, didn't say most of them got bailouts. But many of those who did are not only lobbying against tax increases for the upper class, but also against rules that disallow gambling with other people's money.
Did I blame the economic crash on Bush? You ought to put on your elephant-shaped glasses and re-read my post.
By blaming 9-11 on Clinton, you tie the blame game into a meaningless slip knot.
The wolverine is Canadian, and a mutant.
The correct name is homo sapiens, not human. Do you get paid?
So your (and Braun's) position is that folks receiving SNAP should buy the cheapest food possible? Where's the line in the sand?
Moreover, even if the "liberal dream world" you allude to was not a contrivance, it could never happen when the rich gamble with the middle class's money, get bailed out by the taxpayer when their bets crash, then use those taxpayer dollars to oppose tax increases for those who can afford them.
Mr. Braun's condemnation of those who choose to use their SNAP benefits to buy healthy food is utterly ridiculous. Those who choose to eat healthy are helping to reduce health care costs and supporting food producers who are reducing the use of toxic chemicals and propogation of genetically modified crops. And that is a good thing.
Krauthammer has Obama in a no-win scenario: He kills terrorists with drone attacks, but he's allegedly still a wimp. Kraut's "....the moral amnesia of those whose delicate sensibilities were offended by the Bush methods that kept America safe for a decade...." is so laughable we might assume his keyboard slipped off the barstool.
As for amnesia, didn't 9-11 occur on Bush's watch? Imagine the rabid assaults on Obama had it happened on his. The allusion to Guantanamo keeping America safe could only come from a blind gopher.
Food stamps are still equated by many as welfare for lazy people. Hopefully someday that prejudicial mindset will be quashed. I know a lot of hard-working people who couldn't provide healthy food for their kids without the SNAP program.
The beauty of it is that the assistance goes exclusively to food purchase. Yet the program could be strengthened by disallowing the purchase of junk food like soda pop, donuts, candy, etc.
So this is the Tea Party? Folks who want to spend billions on freeways while cutting taxes? In Oregon counties are going broke, the state continues to slash services to meet budget, and you want to build a giant freeway? Where's the money going to come from-- Social Security?

By Ed BrockFar too often, Good Shepherd Clinic volunteer Carol Hawkins can offer little more than her attention to the people who call the clinic in need of medical care. At least that seems to help a little, 59-year-old Hawkins of Jonesboro said. "A lot have said I was the first person to listen to them for more than five minutes," Hawkins said. Currently the clinic, dedicated to helping those without medical insurance, can only see patients on one day a week. That's why former Georgia state legislator and member of the Good Shepherd Clinic's board of directors Jim Wood will host another Tomato Sandwich Party to bring the clinic closer to its goal of being open five days a week. The party will be held this Saturday from 5 to 8 p.m. at Wood's home at 5676 Sequoia Drive in Forest Park. Those who come are asked to make a $10 donation though they can pay whatever they want. Last year the party raised $15,000 and this year's goal is $18,000, said the Rev. Stephen Cook with the First Baptist Church of Morrow, a sponsor of the clinic. Cook said the clinic, open only on Mondays when Dr. Thomas Kelley can volunteer his time, turns away 100 patients a week. "Knowing the political history of the event and the fact that we're going to be 10 days away from the primaries we hope there will be a good turnout of people who want to meet candidates running for local office," Cook said. Hawkins said she'll be there. "I wouldn't miss it. We had fun last year," Hawkins said. Hawkins has been volunteering at the clinic, located on Murphy Drive behind the First Baptist Church, since it opened in 2000. She said she is primarily a patient representative, though she is also kept busy keeping the clinic's pharmacy in order. She got involved because she is a member of Cook's congregation. "I had no office experience and no medical experience when I started. I have learned it all since then," Hawkins said. Wood and his wife Martha started holding the Tomato Sandwich Party in the mid-1970s as a political fundraiser. Guests have included former governors George Busbee and Zell Miller, former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn, D-Georgia, and current state Sen. Terrell Starr, D-Forest Park. Before last year's party to benefit the clinic the Woods had not hosted a tomato sandwich party at their house since 1993. However, they've had other TSPs at other locations and they hand out their sandwiches at every Taste of Clayton event at Stately Oaks in Jonesboro. The Good Shepherd board handles the preparations, and that helps a lot, Martha Wood said. "I love to have people if somebody else does the preparation," Wood said. Once again the "Jonesmen" gospel quartet from Jones Memorial United Methodist Church in Lake City will perform at the party. Also, local author Joe Dabney will be on hand to autograph copies of his book "Smokehouse Ham, Spoon Bread and Scuppernong Wine: The Folklore and Art of Southern Appalachian Cooking." Dabney will also donate a portion of his sales of the book to the clinic. Also, Wood's son Chris Wood will be autographing copies of his book "Clayton County: Reflections of a Crescent Jewel." The clinic also receives funding from the Clayton County Community Foundation, the Presbyterian Church of Greater Atlanta and local churches and civic clubs. Most of the funds that are raised at the party are needed for general operating expenses, primarily medicine. The guests of honor this year will be Bruce Lucia, president of the Atlanta Division for Kroger grocery stores and Randy Waters, zone manager for Kroger, Thomas said. "They have been a very good corporate sponsor, Thomas said. Also, for the first time the clinic is selling Kroger Gift Cards in the amount of $20, $50 and $100. People who buy the cards can use them to buy anything at a Kroger store up to the amount of the card, and then 5 percent of the amount of purchase goes to the clinic. The cards are for sale at the clinic or the churches that sponsor the clinic, Thomas said. They can be bought with check or, for cards of $50 or more, with a credit card. Also, on Sept. 18 the clinic will hold its inaugural family bicycle ride fundraiser. For more information on that call the clinic at (770) 968-1310. Everybody will get to make his or her own sandwich at Wood's party. Some people like to add onions, some like Miracle Whip more than mayonnaise. "No two are alike," Wood said. He likes just a tomato with lots of salt, mayonnaise and bread only. "I'm a purist," Wood said. Call (770) 960-8494 for more information and directions to the party.

Wind: 6 mph
The Town of Duxbury received yet another notice of resignation on July 23, this time from select board member Mike Marshall. While Marshall's resignation is not directly connected to that of former road foreman Steve Manosh, both point to growing feelings of unrest with regards to the town's government.
In his letter, Marshall condemns what he sees as a current lack of democracy in Duxbury's select board. "Due to the present chairman's [Dick Charland's] blatant disregard for policy and procedure, he has taken it upon himself to sidestep the board as a whole on several occasions," he wrote.
"Duxbury is not a monarchy," he wrote, although according to his letter he believes Charland's disregard for his fellow board members' and townspeople's ideas and opinions have often indicated otherwise.
Marshall also cites "a conflict of interest" between Charland's position as chair of the select board and chair of the road committee—which Charland himself created—as further reason for his disapproval of the town's current governance, stating that he believes "no individual should be allowed to chair more than one committee."
Lastly, Marshall said that an "important family medical situation" does not allow for scheduling around select board meetings and events.
The select board will soon announce a meeting to discuss filling Marshall's position.

La Romana International Airport
During the year 1998, the Central Romana Corporation, began the construction of the International Airport of La Romana, Casa de Campo. The company, through its subsidiary, Airport Management Services Ltd., inaugurated the airport the 14th of December in the year 2000, at an approximate cost of RD$1,000,000,000 pesos.

The Domestic Terminal was created to give fast and efficient service, satisfying the needs of the passengers traveling nationally. Each terminal even provides its clients with individual parking lots each.
In 2003, after the completion of the tourist port of Casa de Campo, operations commenced with the embarkation and disembarkation of cruise ship passengers; for which the airport has played a key role in providing the necessary support, through simple but efficient procedures in relation to security, operation and service.

VANCOUVER -- To avoid getting swept up by the wave of love in Boston, Tim Thomas has avoided fans around the city. For the most part. Even the most positive support can be a distraction when you're in the zone. Instead, he plays by the pool with his kids to relax during his spare time.
Canucks goalie Roberto Luongo did quite the opposite on Friday.
After two brutal starts in Boston, including a Game 4 in which fans back home in Vancouver cheered when he was pulled, Luongo faced one of the biggest challenges of his career in Game 5.
He didn't avoid those fans. No, after eating a pregame afternoon meal, he pulled up his hood, put on some headphones and went for a walk along the Vancouver seawall. During the lunch break of people working downtown.
It was a walk to help him focus on stopping the Bruins. It's also a walk he doesn't always do, although it worked before Game 7 against Chicago in the first round.
When Alex Burrows heard Luongo was making that walk again, he knew. He knew his goalie would be ready. Even if he found the idea a little crazy.
"I looked at him -- 'Really?' " Burrows said. " 'You're going to walk on the seawall?' -- and I see so many people outside."
Luongo said he wanted the fresh air. He needed to focus.
"I knew right there he had confidence and knew nothing was going to faze him tonight," Burrows said.

Luongo started the game with that confidence, and the Canucks needed it. Immediately. The Bruins had three early power plays, and Luongo made a pair of game-changing saves on Patrice Bergeron with five minutes left in the first period.
The Canucks eventually took control of a game Boston initially dominated, and Luongo hung on for a 31-save shutout, giving his team a 1-0 win and a 3-2 series lead. It was his second shutout of the series and fourth of the playoffs.
If he's not perfect in the first, the Bruins score once. At least once. These teams rarely lose when they strike first, and Luongo refused to let the Bruins on the board.
Those first 20 minutes are evidence that Luongo's spotty history during the playoffs is turning out to be one of his strengths. Now he knows what it takes to shake off an ugly performance or two. He did it against Chicago in the first round and did it again in Game 5.
"It's not the first time it's happened, so I know what I need to do to get ready and have my 'A' game," Luongo said. "I thought we all played well and stepped up our level of play to take it to a new level to win this game. We do whatever it takes, and that's what we need to do if we want to win the last one here."
The last one.
One more win, and Luongo wins the Stanley Cup, just one year after beating Team USA in the Winter Olympics to earn a gold medal. We saw how quickly everyone turns on Luongo -- even his own fans -- when things go sideways. It's clear he'll need to raise the Stanley Cup to permanently change his reputation.
Unlike Team Canada's gold, if Vancouver wins, nobody can say the Canucks won it in spite of him. Not after his performance against the Bruins in Game 5.
"The only thing I have to prove things is to myself, my teammates and my family and friends," Luongo said. "That's who I play for."
Their doubt never wavered. Vancouver Canucks coach Alain Vigneault came out on Sunday and unequivocally said Luongo was his starter. There was never any doubt, not that we saw.
"He knows we have so much faith in his abilities and the way he prepares and the way he competes," Burrows said. "We know he's the top goalie in the league."
He can be. The Luongo who lost focus in Boston isn't the top goalie in the league. That focus has returned, and with a championship so close, it's hard to believe it will waver.
"I want to win the Stanley Cup," Luongo said. "That's the only motivation I need right now."
Not a single fan spoke to him during his pregame walk on Friday afternoon. If they did, he wouldn't have heard anyways -- his headphones blocked everything out.
Now he just needs to duplicate the effort in a much more hostile setting. And if there's a pregame walk planned before Monday's Game 6, he might want to bring more of a disguise than just his hoodie.
"I don't know if they have any seawalls in Boston," Luongo joked, "but I'm going to look."

Sabrina prepares for her upcoming wedding, Robin goes to work in the General Hospital lab, and Maxie decides to fight like Lulu for Connie.
In the lab, Brad gives Felix a photo of them together at the Halloween party. Felix likes the gift and is about to kiss Brad when Ellie bursts in. Felix leaves and Brad snaps at Ellie for her bad timing. She snaps back, mad about him not giving her the day off to attend Connie's custody hearing.
At Patrick's, Sabrina gives Emma her flower girl dress before Patrick announces that the wedding is next week. Emma hopes that Spencer and Cam won't be there to ruin her dress…like at the Halloween party. She remembers the lady who was nice to her and asks if they can go to Wyndemere and invite her to the wedding. They can't, Patrick has to go to work and Felix arrives with wedding dresses. Sabrina's disappointed that they are the only ones that can be ready by next week. Emma asks if she'd like Robin's dress. Sabrina thinks Emma should wear the dress at her wedding someday, like she always wanted to wear her mom's. Felix wants a picture, but Sabrina doesn't have one. He promises to find her the perfect dress anyways.
At Wyndemere, Robin's worried because Patrick's engaged and can get married at any time. Nik sympathizes. The cure has been in Luke's blood long enough to have created the antibodies she needs to save Jerry. Nik knows Luke has an appointment at the hospital. In the living room, Britt can't believe her eyes when she sees Obrecht coming out of the wall. Obrecht claims she was taking a stroll down memory lane with Faison. Britt thought they were estranged and thinks Obrecht's lying. She wonders where Faison is and plans to go look for him when Robin and Nik come asking for help. Britt agrees to call Brad in the lab and leaves to check on Ben. Nik thinks Obrecht can start packing but she reminds Robin she's been gone a long time. How does she know that Patrick will choose her over Sabrina? Britt joins them and confirms Luke's blood is in the lab. Obrecht warns Robin not to be seen. Later, Britt sees Obrecht take food to the wall.
At GH, Tracy hopes Ellie fast tracks Luke's lab results while Luke wonders if Connie senses her parents are in court fighting for her. They run into Patrick who's surprised to learn Luke has taken a cure for his polonium poisoning. He'd love to meet the genius doctor who came up with it. They can't give Patrick a name and want Luke's lab results. Back in the lab, Ellie and Brad's argument is interrupted when Britt calls to ask if Luke's blood is there. Ellie thinks it's weird that Britt called. Brad acts like he doesn't have time and tells her to leave so he can keep Luke's blood. Later, Nik shows up and tells Brad to not let anyone into the lab but he leaves to take Felix's call. Robin comes in and remembers the lab as the last place she saw Patrick alive. Meanwhile, Patrick approaches the lab.
At the courthouse, Maxie's surprised when Alexis questions how she murdered someone. Alexis exchanges a look with Lulu before announcing she killed Robin. Felicia jumps up and asks Lulu, "How could you?" Dante wants Lulu to tell Alexis to back off. The judge restores order and asks Maxie if she was responsible and she confirms she was which causes Spinelli to scream out in her defense. Maxie confesses to the judge what happened that night after Matt called her a bad person for getting Elizabeth fired. Robin wouldn't go to a party with her and Maxie stormed out breaking a gas nozzle which caused the explosion. She stares at Lulu as she regrets not being able to tell Robin how sorry she was. On cross, Diane asks Maxie if she intentionally killed Robin. She answers no and the judge calls a break. The courtroom clears, Dante shrugs Lulu off him and tells her to stay. She finds herself alone with Maxie. Maxie asks how she could use Robin's death against her. Lulu's mad that Maxie has hurt her, just like she hurt Robin. Outside, Sonny asks how Dante's holding up. He wants to keep his daughter but he doesn't want to do it like this. Sonny advises he needs to. When everyone returns Dante and the lawyers separate Maxie and Lulu from their argument. Alone, Maxie decides it's time to go after Lulu. On the stand, Lulu agrees with Alexis that Robin's death was an accident, and that Maxie has a lot of accidents. She questions if Connie could die because of her carelessness while Dante hangs his head down. Nearby, Ellie joins Spinelli. On cross, Diane points out that the only one in the custody battle who is a murderer is Lulu.

United Technologies will likely invest less than $500 million in mergers and acquisitions in 2013 as it absorbs last year's addition of Goodrich and conservatively manages a growing stockpile of cash.
"There is quite frankly not much in the pipeline," says Gregory Hayes, senior vice-president and chief financial officer.
The company's activity in mergers and activities could pick up next year after it completes the integration of Goodrich into the newly-formed UTC Aerospace Systems division, which also includes Hamilton Sundstrand. Last year, United Technologies' subsidiary Pratt & Whitney also acquired the Rolls-Royce ownership share of International Aero Engines.
"We're well-positioned as we go into 2014," Hayes says.
Indeed, the company will likely finish the year with $7 billion in cash even despite a $2 billion expense to pay dividends, a $1 billion debt payment, and at least $1 billion planned for a share buy-back programme, Hayes adds.
UTC, meanwhile, is completing several divestitures by the second quarter, he says. These include the spin-off of the Goodrich engine controls business and the Honeywell electric power systems unit. UTC also is selling off two P&W units - Rocketdyne and Power Systems.
But Hayes also described a "tension" within United Technologies' account for capital expenditures. The company has budgeted $1.7 billion for "capex" spending in 2013, but Hayes and chief executive Louis Chenevert think that amount is too high. The aerospace operating divisions, however, are feeling pressure to prepare for a significant production ramp-up on commercial programmes, as Airbus and Boeing plan to exceed already historic output levels.
It is possible that United Technologies will deduct up to $200 million from the capital expenditure accounts in 2013, Hayes says, but acknowledges there is "pushback" from the company's customers.

Bob's Red Mill Gluten-Free Rolled Oats
If there is one grain that causes much debate in the gluten-free world, it is oats. While I won't get into a lengthy dissertation about the history of oats and the gluten-free diet, what I will tell you is that oats should be safe for celiacs as long as they are grown/handled/processed in a gluten-free environment*. It seems that the trouble with oats was the high level of cross-contamination with wheat.
Finally gluten-free eaters have gluten-free oat choices! Bob's Red Mill has introduced two gluten-free oat products into their lineup: Rolled Oats and Steel Cut Oats.
Today I will be looking at their rolled oats.
I have always loved classic oats. (Like many people, I grew up on Quaker Oatmeal.) So I eagerly made myself a pot of oatmeal as soon as I had the bag of gluten-free oats in my hands. (Okay, that is a little bit of a stretch. I did wait for breakfast to break into the bag. Eating oatmeal for dinner, even for an oatmeal fan, just isn't my thing. But as soon as I had the bag in my hands I noticed that label was the same shade of purple as my old print newsletter! )
I flipped the bag over the find the directions and noticed that Bob's Red Mill had done it again. If you've ever eaten their "Mighty Tasty GF Hot Cereal" you know that Bob's Red Mill has a penchant for writing recipes that yield two servings. But I didn't want two servings! I am a single breakfast eater! During the week, my hubby is out of the house before I have even thought about breakfast. If you haven't guessed, this annoyed me slightly.
I pulled out one of my many cookbooks and found the ratio for cooking rolled oats for one. (1 cup of water to 1/2 cup rolled oats.) I boiled the water, added the oats and waited. After about ten minutes I tried the oats. They were still a little tough. Since the pan seemed dry, I added a splash of water and let them do their thing for another few minutes.
Finally the oats were done--the aroma had made me hungry--and it was time for the real test. How would they taste? Well, the good news is they tasted better than any oats I had ever eaten!
They were chewy and thick and nutty and just plain wonderful. I am going to guess, and this is just a guess, that Bob's Red Mill Rolled Oats are processed in smaller batches than Quaker. To me, it tasted like these oats were "fresher." After a few nibbles, I added a sprinkle of dark brown sugar and enjoyed the bowl.
The next day, I decided to have another bowl. This time I used 1 1/4 cups water and 1/2 cup oats. In about 12 minutes, they were perfectly cooked.
If you are interested in adding oats to your diet, I think you will LOVE Bob's Red Mill Whole Grain Rolled Oats. Just remember, these are not "instant" oats and can't be used in recipes calling for "instant" oats. For a nice hearty breakfast, with a good fiber content, these are the gluten-free oats to try.
Summary: Excellent Product. Wonderful taste, texture. The oats are better than you remember! A+
*Some studies have found that a small percentage of celiacs can't tolerate oats. So, introduce them into your diet with care.

COLUMBIA — A week from Friday, South Carolina will begin preseason practices for its ninth season under coach Steve Spurrier, who has taken the Gamecocks to greater heights than ever before with back-to-back, program-best 11-2 seasons, along with a 9-5 year and a first-ever trip to the Southeastern Conference championship game in 2010. Over the past three seasons, USC is 17-7 against the SEC, after going 18-22 in Spurrier's first five seasons.
Now, can the Gamecocks take the next step and win their first SEC championship?
One guy who will play a big role in determining that is All-American defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, who is almost certainly heading for the first overall position in the NFL draft after the season is over. USC needs Clowney, and though there might have been some concerns Tuesday when a report surfaced that Clowney had been in touch with a sports agency run by the rapper Jay-Z, Spurrier made it clear Thursday after his annual media golf outing that he does not have any worries about Clowney being ineligible.
"No, I do not," he said.
USC looked into the matter and found that Clowney did not take any impermissible benefits. Clowney is allowed to talk to a sports agency if he wants to, but he can't accept anything or agree to be represented by the agency while he is still playing college football.
"He can talk to anybody he wants to, as long as he doesn't take anything," Spurrier said. "He can't take money. He can't take anything of value from anybody. I think he knows that. It's been preached to him since he signed with on us on Feb. 14 two years ago. He can accept everything everyone wants to give him right after our bowl game."

RVD recently spoke about following MMA more than pro wrestling and more. Here is an excerpt and the video interview below…
"Actually it is the only sport I watch. It really is. I can't hold a conversation with anything else. If someone wants to talk basketball, football, soccer, golf – even wrestling – I actually don't even watch wrestling. It's my job, you know; unless I'm there at the arena watching. But, MMA, I can't name all the fighters, I'm not like one of those hardcore guys, but I really enjoy the whole competitive spirit that I see when I watch it. I'm a big fan."

What This World Can Never Give…
What this world can never give,
is life eternal!
Jesus can guarantee your name,
in heaven's journal!
The world can never bring to you,
what Christ can give!
Jesus will never fail you,
and can give a reason to live!
This world can promise you a whole
"field of dreams."
But can never give the joy and peace
that only Jesus brings!
The world shall one day
be totally destroyed within!
Only Christ can help you!
And will always be your friend!
Heaven and earth shall one day pass!
God's word is forever!
Christ loves you so much!
You can be with him, together!
Won't you follow Jesus?
And leave this world behind you?
Allow his Holy Spirit and love,
to totally surround you!
Take this world! But give me Jesus!
Is this your plea?
Won't you make plans to be with him,
for all eternity?
