The Current Situation today in iraq remains extremely, extremely serious. Isl remains in control of mosul and it is targeting all iraqis, sunni, shia, kurds, who disagree with its twisted version of a caliphate. It joined in an unholy alliance with the baath party and some former insurgent groups like the islamic army of iraq. Going forward, the iraqi...

They have control of significant territory. They are tested in battle. They are a serious threat and while we dont assess right now that they are doing distinct homeland plotting certainly they are open about it that theyre coming for the United States.

And in that in that space is where a deal lies. And i think thats going to be part of the conversation informing a new government. ...

In iraq . Obviously, the connection between isil, between the threat and iraq in syria is pretty significant. I dont personally know of any reports of opposition support then being funneled to isil. I think they are in a bitter battle fight against both the regime and the terrorists who have taken over territory in eastern and northern syria. I dont have any reports of that equipment and that support thats been provided getting into their hands, but its always a risk. What precautions have we ta...

So the Iraqi Government no longer controls all of its territory, and the conflict is taking on new dimensions with the kurdish government in the north and announcing a referendum to pursue independence and it has deployed its own forces to secure two large oilfields in kirkuk. The startling advance of isis across iraq has prompted many regional and Global Players to reassess their policies in the middle east, so this is a big time of flux among the outside players, as well, and that is why we wa...

Peace, and with their Natural Resources a chance at a growing economy. And clearly those of us, minority of 23, who predicted this, if we went to war, we did not prevail and thats life, you dont prevail, so you move on. And then later when then senator biden, who was the chairman of this committee, proposed more autonomy for the sunnis and for the kurds, oh, and, by the way, more than 70 senators voted for that, the then Bush Administration laughed at it, kind of like people laugh right now, tha...
