Trade and equip program is going very bad they. And the larger concern that i had when the troops were attacked edits a huge problem and unless the United States will make political concessions to its allies in the region with the fate of the regime so now were at a crossroads because it is now propping up the regime. I do think we have the answer to that question yet. The position is so divided it is very difficult and then inside your position. If you looked at saudi arabia you get money from catarrh or turkey because were in the economic, a new economy in syria. The only way to survive. So there is a conflict and they know very well but it is the key to the system but it is the key. The system could be destroyed. With the east and west dont have anything to urdu. But to be a of parts of the solution and after. On that note we will bring the panel to a close. I am quite sure this to jan you look awesome in your red blazer. With a nice color. That is a nice color. The rules committee
Will take place. Of course, all of this is happening as a result of the current house speaker, john boehner, announcing last friday that hell be resigning at the end of october. This meeting by the House Rules Committee expected to get under way shortly. Theyll consider the rules for debate on a bill that would gave states flexibility in denying funds under medicaid to planned parenthood or other groups that provide Abortion Services. That bill coming to the house floor tomorrow. The legislative agenda in the house today includes a couple of bills that make changes to the 2010 health care law, religious measures, other would revise the definition of small employer to having 50 or less employees.

Effectively, they argue for a return to the rules that applied for most of Human History and that predate this institution, the belief that power is a zerosum game, that might makes right, that strong states must impose their will on weaker ones, that the rights of individuals dont matter, and that in a time of rapid change, order must be imposed by force. On this basis, we see some major powers assert themselves in ways that contravene International Law. We see an erosion of the democratic principles and human rights that are fundamental to this institutions mission, information is strictly controlled, the space for Civil Society restricted. Were told that such retrenchment is required to beat back disorder, that its the only way to stamp out terrorism, or prevent foreign meddling.
