Page 2 - Iran Task Force News Today

Finishing up the inheritance here when Michael First joined as a fellow and you know, at the end of the day, he would come by either my office or his office and his endless curiosity for for how this would play out, his love of the wonderfully ambiguous nature of dealing with the iranian. The questions of whether or not the specifics of the deal led to a much greater political kind of reconciliation, a subject that my great colleague, mark, will take up in a moment. He was also wonderfully into ...

It talked initially about two reactors, the possibility of moving up to eight. We know from our own experience here in the United States, we know from the japanese experience and the European Experience its a lot easier to announce reactors than to build reactors, although it would be interesting to see if a not in my Backyard Movement crops up in iran. That would be an interesting story. It creates a rational of sorts under which the iranians could justify going up to the supreme fugse as 0,000...

Complete deniability. If i was the United States or the iranians i would want to keep it that way. Mark, in your presentation you mentioned that in iraq and the United States and iran are kind of tacitly in alignment supporting the central government, perceived as a broader shiite government. In syria the interests begin to diverge over the future of assad. How do you see that tension playing out over time, particularly when you have u. S. Forces in iraq where you also have iranian forces. Some ...

Good afternoon, everyone. Thank you for coming out to our first public event of the year for the task force. Let me thank the Atlantic Council and the Plowshares Fund for the generous support. We have been going on for four years and i must say that the news keeps getting better. Some positive indications about the nuclear talks. But we are here to talk about the people to people aspects of the u. S. Iran relationship which are maybe more important in some ways than the technicalities of how man...

Happy to learn that. X in fact i think i actually showed you some of the slides. This report makes it scathingly crystalclear what the relationship is between education and incarceration. Right . So, therefore, again, it is beyond our charge to say how we are going to do that, but i keep using the word ammunition which is not a good use not a good word to use but the information is certainly in this report that makes it clear that if you dont to go to prison or who goes to prison are the people ...

And helmand. As far as advocacy for the corps there. Before they had the advisers to do this. Because we were going liftoff we wanted to make sure they had some kind of advocacy. We built a cell of four or five Coalition Members and some function that we thought they needed to continue to mature in our absence and put them up in kabul in september and they were foc in october before we left. Two interpreters were up there and all these individuals had served as advisers with the corps and the po...

House to defund it, to derail it, in one way or another before they had a chance to do that some judge in texas ruled it unconstitutional and if its on hold until this appeal because the higher court and hopefully that will be overturned. Unfortunately, even if it is overturned, its only a temporary fix because it doesnt provide legalization or path to citizenship it just says for x. Amount of months you can get the work permit and drivers license and be in that country without legal status. Tha...

Keeping that pipeline open is good. I do not have insight into exactly where it is going. They are working with other openings for replacements for the rd 180. Working in a way that does not just declare, no more. Keeping assets and the pipeline open as long as we can. Senator cruz do you have thoughts on these questions . It depends where you think the immediate risks are. If you thought there was a risk tomorrow or today, the answer is, we have the inventory we have. Beyond that inventory, if ...

Senator sanders my fellow americans, this country faces more serious levels today than in any time since the Great Depression, and if you include the planetary crisis of Climate Change, it may well be that the challenges we face now are more dire than at any time in the modern history of our country. And here is my promise to you for this campaign. Not only will i fight to protect the working families of this country, but we are going to build a movement of americans who are prepared to stand up...
