Times. I found i admired raymond a great deal. Greely called him the little villain, a nickname that stuck. Cartoonists portrayed him as a very little fellow with a big beard. But he stuck to and it made the New York Times he committed the New York Times to the same idea of all the news that is fit to print that it still practices today, albeit under a different ownership. How does he fit into this scenario. Bennett was the first on the scene and was the oldest and born in scotland, before the turn of the 19th century, fell in love with newspapers, had a facility for language so he got jobs as a translator of foreign news, and then ultimately wrote so many good things about the Andrew Jackson administration that he expected that jackson and jacksons successor, martin van buren, would find a way to get him money to start his own newspaper.

Republican side concerning the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and in this case it is iran. No shortage of distrust in that room. Reporter yes, del. Both Global Concerns were one was the Ballistic Missiles and the nuclear threat. So very clearly this is more about iran than even isis right now. Its almost like isis has a fate with its defeat and the question is what happens when it is over. There doesnt seem to be any testimony that isil will not be defeated. Thats pretty much again a given at this point. You heard even general dempsey say that. The other number of 20,000 shia militia troops with only 3,000 Iraqi Security forces. From a military perspective thats not a partnership. Thats clearly the iranians in control of the situation. And following that do the shia allow the sunnis back into their homes. So they are very concerned at the pentagon with regard to that situation in tikrit. And you have heard testimony saying they want this aumf to be passed unanimously in congress. What
Thank you, mr. Chairman. Thank you to all of our witnesses. Thank you for your extraordinary gestures to come back to this committee over and over again both in public and private to work on this most important question that the Foreign Relations committee and Congress Takes up, the question of when to commit u. S. Personnel into war. I remain as frustrated as many of my colleagues over this question over definitions. Every different member of the administration that we talk to seems to have a slightly different interpretation of what these words mean and i cant blame them. As secretary carter said, there is no historical operational definition of these words. I think the lack of consistency has hampered our efforts to get on the same page together. If we resort to just an understanding that these words mean something less than what happened in iraq and afghanistan, that really is no limitation at all. I am barely a lawyer. I practiced for four years, but i remember the concept of stat
