I certainly thing think its indication of instability. So those are two trip wires that you would consider insignificant, would you not . Yes, sir. And what was done with the security after those two trip wires were tripped . Sir, as i said, i was not here at that time. Well, youve read reports. Im aware that the...

It is critical. Your first 30 days on the ground, you are just trying to figure out where you are, how things are operating, where the threats are. We absolutely concur with that recommendation of taking steps to ensure that the personnel we put on the ground are there for longer periods of time. And has the department been able to achieve those requirements in its practice . Yes, it has. The fact is we dont actually have any temporary facilities at the moment. I request give you an example, tho...

I want to follow up on something or he said about g being less accommodating. Can you give us any ideas why any ideas why that is an administration thinking on this given they invested a lot of time and emphasis on having obama and biden in particular build a personal relationship with him .

Lets deal with reality. When we were working in the senate to pass a bill, we passed a bill here, the sensen brenner bill. They criminalized every priest, every teacher, every doctor. That was the response to the senate bill. So lets get it clear here. Every time we sat at the table and said, look, tell us what it is going to take, they refuse act. It is now 23 months into the year. And we have not seen any legislation taken from this commit tooet house floor that isnt taking 800,000 young and m...

To make a 30second comment on what you just said. I am not going to yield to you. Im going to ask my questions of the gentlemen. The president has dispensed the law, suspended the law until he says otherwise.

And it is not appropriate for congress, frankly, to try to sidestep the responsibilities that they have in this matter. And just to quickly follow up on yemen there are reports including from cnn that the hutis did not allow the marines to take their weapons with them when they were departh. There were cars and other assets of the Embassy Personnel that ...
