And i think you had some level of optimism. During that same trip, i got the chance to go to baghdad. Im not sure that i walked away with the same level of optimism about his willingness to reform, the reforms that he suggested have been fairly paper thin. We have been hearing for a very, very long time about a Sunni National guard. They cannot get their act together to begin. The military is effectively 95 shiite. There is no understanding how if we were able to take back ramadi there would be an effective multisectarian or sunniled military force that could hold it. The question i guess is for either of you. It just doesnt seem like we have the leverage with the body right now to get him to take the tough steps to fully integrate the military to give the sunnis participation in a force that would ultimately hold these areas once we take back. Tell me what we need to do in order to get a baddy to take the next several steps. Hes actually got to make a commitment to reform the military
Good morning, everyone. I want to welcome all of you to this discussion on russia and syria, implications for the United States and turkey. We have a great panel to discuss most recent turkish incident, the downing of the russian jet, as well as experts who can provide a broader perspective on u. S. Russia relations and see how that is going Going Forward how the relationship between the west and russia will evolve but in particular in the context of syria. As you know, russian intervention, military intervention, direct intervention in syria has complicated the dynamics on the ground. There were expectations this could perhaps lead to some contribution from russia to the fight against isis, but lets say that russia has been at the very least ambivalent about that. Not entirely clear what russia is doing in syria. It seems to be targeting the opposition against the assad regime so russia seems to be helping the assad regime and also doing some operations against isil, but well discuss
President obama, remains an important and i would argue essential concept to bring people together around. Now, im well aware of everything thats going on right now and the increasing tensions that are existing in the region in israel, in the west bank, to say nothing of the continuing aggressive behavior by hamas coming out of gaza. But i am one who believes that the absence of negotiation leaves a vacuum that gets filled by problems, bad actors, threats, other kinds of behavior that is not good for israel and not good for the palestinians. So i think that, you know, the efforts that were undertaken in the last several years, you know, when i was secretary, now with secretary kerry, are very much in the interests of israel and very much in the interests of the palestinians. I hope it happens, but well see. As secretary of state, what is the one thing you wish you had done differently . Oh, my goodness. Is there a list or what . There were a number of things, and i write about a lot of
We had a shortage after. 32 million changed. People added to the insurance rolls. You cannot add that many people without putting some strain on the system that is already strained. That is why the bill has a number of features to try to improve the number of primary care doctors. Right now. Ed school here is your choice. You could be a community doctor. You can make 100,000 a year, or you could be a dermatologist and work 35 hours a week. Supposed tose kids do . We have a system that is out of and terms of the reimbursement we are putting in place for different types of doctors. Until we get that in place were really not going to deal with the primary care shortage in america. I want to ask a question about basic health. I know you have written something about how it moves poverty. Of i am a Health Director for a travel health program. Its going to be difficult to pay the premium because it is a little too high, and it is that problem with reconciliation where they might get a tax bil
