The kidnapped person is a security guard, he is not an engineer. We are trying our level best to free him.

As soon as possible we're sending the delegation to see if they are there and to talk with the kidnappers, find out their demands, why they've kidnapped them.

They killed him and fled.

I spent the last 4 1/2 years trying to show we need to increase security and decrease the dependency on foreign oil and we are going to give our port security to the country who funded 9/11.

The magnitude for trying to create an administrative system and make it functional for 140 million people (in Social Security) could be done, but it will take years. The federal thrift program is having problems and that's a lot fewer people.
