When we were fighting it and it is just a different environment. If you look at the protest movement over 2013, they remain moderate tone focused on legitimate grievances of the community. The protests in the fallujah taking place every friday were far more militant, far more extremist. It is just a different like different cultures and attitudes. If i could just follow up on congressman deutschs question, you said most of the foreign fighters were syrian . Had come inighters to syria from the g...

Threat to projects and Homeland Security counterterrorism program. He will be speaking on treasuries war, the unleashing of a new era of financial warfare. One final reminder. When this panel concludes we have to clear the room just like we did yesterday so the hotel can set up for lunch about 50 minutes and then well come back in and start our lunch program. Gives me great pleasure to introduce our moderator this morning, mary derosa, distinguished visitor from georgetown law. Thank you. [appla...

Lets go to a second question and that is given the way in which this nexus crosses two communities, the Law Enforcement community and the National Security community, are we effectively organized to deal with these problems and the special issues of this nexus and how should we be changing our organization nationally or internationally to be dealing with these issues. Any thoughts from the panelists . We should not go to knee jerk reactions when a major disaster happens and ill give you an examp...

The modifying video competition report, some of those things. I have got a piece of legislation weve passed out of the full house twice now, very bipartisan, i think it was unanimous earlier in this Congress Called the fcc consolidated reporting act which really tries to take a broad view and to eliminate a lot of the outdated reports, to streamline the reporting process. Something that i think you have seen bipartisan support to do in the house. Were trying to get the senate to take that up. Im...

Providing weaponry to it the ukrainian government. The Prime Ministers statement yesterday mentioned that some nato partners were providing weaponry to ukraine. And i saw a list of five or six countries. The uk was not amongst them. Why not . The uk doesnt believe that there can be a military solution to the conflict in the ukraine. Ukrainian forces mad s made significant gains over a period of weeks after the incident. But we saw over the last two weeks that russia will not allow those gains to...

Last question. The three roles of u. S. Cybercom, one is specifically to look after the security of dod networks, the other two being to support commanders and the third which is in some ways the most difficult and challenging is to defend the nation and how that engages. So cybercom has that responsibility, i think, the challenge if it were to arise would be a lot of the intelligence that Cyber Command needs to do its work comes from the nsa side, and splitting the two out would be highly ineff...

Interpol, u. N. Headquarters in new york. Among discussions was either to eliminate or cut by 50 the fbis international offices. Again, another act of absolute stupidity. I want to go to the hill and argue anybody who raises the issue to tell them how stupid it is, why we need the relationships, why we need representations, and how every day it affects u. S. And health of the u. S. National security. An example of that, a particular u. S. Senator i will not name, landed once in a foreign country...

Officials from the department of Homeland Security, the fbi and the office of the director of National Intelligence testified. This is an hour and 45 minutes. We will hear from the department of Homeland Security about how they can best keep america safe and from those who would seek to carry out deadly attacks against our country and its people. We also hear about actors in cyberspace who want to drain our bank accounts, shut down our fragile systems, our electric grid, steal our identical iden...

Travel of other u. S. Citizens engaged in the region. Now i appreciate that. I would just mention time is of the essence here, i think. I i think youre going to be looking at, as i say, one member that is going to be introducing legislation today about these issues. Im trueing to assist you and you know, well see quickly the congress can act. But we are looking for feedback from all of you. With that, the chair recognizes miss jackson lee from texas. Again, let me thank the chairman and thank my...

Some real poison pills in it. Its good that the senator has stepped back. Its bare and it sends a message, but i dont think the message has to be brought to a vote. I agree and i just wanted to add i know we are on capitol hill and there are many staffers from the Republican Democratic sides. Congress has already played an Important Role. Iran is at the table in large part because of the sanctions booted into play the european union. So the congress has done a very effective job sending the sign...
