Especially given the fact that my vice chairman representing silicon valley, i keep reminding her, i have the Research Triangle park, but while there are 99 days in ns a lts code breaker challenge.

This subject, week after next, train and equip, not just iraq. Iraq, syria and afghanistan. Historically in a broader context, what are the lessons . Is it always hard . Are there particular circumstances in every country beyond our control . Are there lessons we can apply more broadly to Different Countries and our efforts to improve their Security Forces . We cant do everything ourselves. So nebraskas gsomebodys got t there helping us do it. Were trying to work with others. You just heard somebody today mention poland. We have allies of different capabilities. How well are we organized, equipped, prepared to work with those different capabilities . I think this is a big, very important question. So is the hearing going to be oversight or education . Both. So were going to have close the roundtable, were going to have outside experts, were going to have administration witnesses at different events. So its try to understand, but its also hone in on what were doing now and is it working
That is how this whole thing began. People in a country looking for a future who were instead met with repression, torture, gassing and bombs. Assad will never be accepted by those he has harmed. Never possible to become a legitimate leader. Never possible to lead a reconciliation, nor a unification of a country. That cannot happen until he makes clear his willingness to heal the nation and end the war. And declined to be part of the longterm future. Today, we must be focused on finding a solution that will stop the killing and lay the groundwork for a government that the Syrian People themselves can support. We know that the terrorists can either unite the country nor govern it. We know that assad can either unite the country nor govern it. Neither extreme offers the solution that we need and want. What is more, our ability to develop a credible political process would be a farce from a beginning from the beginning. Incredible enough that it will not stop people from fighting. If it w

It will be a very difficult decision for the next speaker, and arguably, increase the chances for a shutdown around christmas time. Guest remember, one of the legacies of Speaker Boehner is this is the lots of majority since 1930. He has built up a very impressive Republican Congress. Interestingly, he still cannot get the vote on big fiscal controversial issues. In the house, you have to move bills through your party. You cannot rely on the minority in many cases to increase your power and leverage. He was unable to do that. Host a bit of irony there that the people who he helped to get elected are now in a conference, or caucus, opposing his contingencies as bigger. As speaker. Guest that is right. Without a doubt, it has been an interesting speakership. The speaker going up against president obama, and then harry reid. It is a very difficult job. Speaker boehner, he liked to play golf, drink red wine. He will be enjoying life after congress. Overall, i think it will be and just a wh
