This disruption is not helping [ gavel banging constant ] we need to get out of iraq, out of syria, stop the bombing im glad we can hear her. Then came a more damaging assault from the hawkish right as john mccain struck hard at president obamas strategy of having the Free Syrian Army carry the ground attack against isis.
