#3 "..the contribution of the United States to helping us to solve the issues related to peace and the security on the continent, that contribution is very great."

#6 Lol, Pappy. The pressure is even on Mayor Daley here in Chicago. He sounds like Capt. Renault: I'm shocked, shocked to find corruption going on!
