He happens to be one of the best thinkers and actors and an analysts of the region. Its always a pleasure to have him here. So thank you so much for being here. Todays event was organized by the councils Global Energy center. Our Iraq Initiative is led by has been our who moderator today. Its been a game changer having abas working with us. Hes one of those rare individual who is understands the workings of the countries hes covering iraq so intimately but also the workings of washington which in many respects is sometimes more difficult to follow. This mornings discussion is iraqs facing the daunting challenge with crisis underway and citizens demanding reform as well as the news just yesterday that Prime Minister adal adomadi will resign. Despite the current unrest and uncertainty of the future iraq has made significant progress in ye
The law allows programs like this to exist and they were common. World war i, world war ii, vietnam war, korean war, this was Standard Practice of the government and only reversed by the department of defense in internal memos that undermine the intent express of congress with a statute passed by congress more than 100 years ago. You have lawlessness by the deferment of defense that are undermining a statute with internal executive memos. [inaudible] did you mention that . The 1996 act take away judicial discretion . I know mr. Metcalf had a different perspective. Tell me. Yes, that is one the most troubling aspects of the changes made to the Immigration Laws. It removed had an aggravated felony and expanded the definition of aggregated felony. And things that dont classify as aggravated. Im out of time but in Orange County we were the first pioneers creating veterans courts and out these issues are complex. We look forward to working with you on this issue. Id like to recognize mr.

Taking down a syrian war jet. It is a big dale and we have it covered with our team on the ground across the globe. The story of the sevilcivilio helped catch the guy. Thats right. Look, the british prime minis r minister, the london mayor are both calling this a terrorist attack. The British Police are saying that they are investigating this this as a suspected terrorist attack. But this one is different because in this case, im just going to step out of the way and let the camera give you a live shot of the scene here. In this case, a van drove into a group of muslim worshippers as they were leaving a mosque. Targeting specifically muslims and that is what the police are investigating. The british Prime Minister has been talking about it. This is what she had to say. This morning, our country woke to news of another terrorist attack on the streets of our capital city. The second this month and every bit as sickening as those which have come before. Today we come together as we have d
Armed with an Assault Rifle. The gunman was related to some folks who go to church here. His exs inlaws or exinlaws went here. Thats what we understand. He was court marshalled on Domestic Violence charges, given a bad conduct discharge. If thats the case, ordinarily, hed still be legally qualified to have the semiautomatic weapon he used in the attack. If it was for Domestic Violence, which apparently it was, that would have disqualified him. He would seek to get a permit in the state, and it was denied. Rolling back an obamaera regulation that made it harder for people with Mental Illnesses to buy guns. I think that Mental Health is the problem here, based on preliminary reports. Very deranged individual. Americans do what they do best. We pull together. We join hands. We lock arms. Through the tears and through the sadness, we stand strong. Oh, so strong. Were going to get to the latest developments in just a moment. First, i want to introduce you to this tiny town of Sutherland Spr
To gofundme and all of the victims and their families will be protected. Again, governor, i cannot thank you for your support. Weve been on the phone constantly. He was here the second this happened. I cant thank you, fdle, the Sheriffs Office and the fbi enough. This is what you dont see around the country. You see teamwork. Thats what happens in florida. Thats what makes us very special. Thank you. Before we take questions, id like to also thank congressman ted deutch for coming down from washington, d. C. The elected officials from parkland and around the county. My message to the community, to Broward County, is simple. Your elected officials, your commissioners, your state reps, your state senators, make sure these are people that arent worrying about saving money. This is a time to save lives. We need more Law Enforcement. We need more deputies. This isnt the time to worry about how many dollars might be saved if we dont have a deputy here or a Police Officer here. This is nation
