Welcome to inside story. Im ray suarez. Most any adult american could name places u. S. Forces have fought around the world in a small way as when Ronald Reagan ordered an invasion of gau nay da and in a big way, such as vietnam. Lots of wars, lots of sacrifice and death, bravery and loss. One thing that hasnt been through all of that. A vote from the u. S. Congress to officially declare war against a national foe. I ask that the congress declare that since the unprovoked and dastardly attack by...

Back i could only respond through that email. But what i meant to say is we couldnt find out who was sending it. It was obvious that they were english speaking, however, because, you know, of the commander language. Was there specifics about a ransom number or conditions . When they initially reached out to us, yes. It was ridiculous. Like they wanted 100 million euro or all muslim prisoners kind of thing. And you know, fbi, you know, of course we right away sent tight the fbi and they just said...

The Justice Department statistics show that nationally only 16 of state prisoners are in for drug crimes and less than 4 are there for drug possession. And yet, our very president is going around stating an untruth. That is because this is an administration i think that is ruled by an ideology that claims that Law Enforcement is somehow racist. And that, as you say, is a disservice to officers of all colors who are there to help the good people in the community. Mr. Mccarthy, you rightly observe...

But nothing, nothing, approaches what these women have done and what so many journalists, regardless of gender, i think you would all agree, men and women, did in opening the way to covering battlefields, to bringing the stories of american troops fighting in faraway places into our living rooms, into the front page of our newspapers. If nothing else, that era was such a turn in journalism that i probably dont have to explain to anybody in this room. And i thought that if were not all totally fa...

Im a pentagon correspondent, and im thrilled, honored, and humbled to be with these women tonight. I work out of the pentagon. I have traveled to war zones, but nothing, nothing, approaches what these women have done and what so many journalists, regardless of gender, i think you would all agree, men and women, did in opening the way to covering battlefields, to bringing the stories of american troops fighting in faraway places into our living rooms, into the front page of our newspapers. If not...

I tell the story in this journey over the past decade and a half or so but coming almost right up to the present. I think i didnt want to do a quickie book in 2011. I went to being a historian and having perspective and thought well of in my profession. And so even to write something after three years is oaudacious. The first generation was elected into office in 20112012 and a raft of books said this is the islamic winter. Not the arab springs. Lets talk about the people who made the changes. L...
