Used the tactic in past conflict. He spoke at the think tank new america in washington dc. This is one hour and a half. Now let me introduce fred. Perhaps his most important distinction i would say is that he worked previously as an american fellow but he has done one or two other things in his illustrious career. He is the National Security columnist and author of four books the most recent book which i think is here to tell us and has at least gone over with this new book that some one might not necessarily imagine.
