If prayer were made of sound, the skies over england that night would have deafened the wor world. Captains paced their decks, pilots tapped their gauges. Commanders pored over maps fully aware that for all the months of meticulous planning, everything could go wrong. The winds, the tides, the element of surprise. And above all, the audacious bet that what waited an the other side of the channel would compel men not to shrink away but to charge ahead. Fresh faced gis rubbed trinkets, kissed pict...

Basically gave to al qaeda and the taliban a detailed explanation of what u. S. Strategy was going to be. And i dont remember the secretary of defense or other people last summer getting all hot an bothered about the mcchrystal leak.

First strategy, but not an iraqonly one. Our Coalition Strikes this week demonstrate to isil that they have no safe haven in syria. Our targeted actions are disrupting isils communication and control, and in iraq were encouraging our iraqi partners to go back on the defensive. Were build a Sustainable Mission to set the stage for a broader International Campaign against isil.

Campaign of violence. This summer, it has taken control of iraqi cities and exploited the fragile political situation to cause terror and devastate morale.

On a point of order, mr. Speaker. You will have noticed t...
