Military facilities in the u united arab emirates. I have to warn the australian people that should this preparation and deployment extend into combat operations that this could go on for quite some time months rather than weeks, perhaps many, many months indeed. My conversation with president obama a few days ago certainly gave me to understand that the president is prepared for quite a lengthy american contribution to this particular mission.

Inside the village there. They have bombarded here now, they no longer have the capability. Now, peshmerga are on the front line and feeling great.

In the near ground, that is the town of bartela, a christian town held by the Islamic State group and beyond it is mosul, itself. Commanders hearsay they are just waiting on an order to puck toward the most fortified bastyon of the Islamic State in iraq. But first, the kurdish troops wants the backing of sunni and shia forces. They want more american airstrikes and more arms. We need weapons, support, outside help, every kind of help because we are poor people. Tell them. The Islamic State is a cancer. They will take every country if you dont push them out. They will take everything. Its better to destroy them as soon as possible. The peshmerga say they are nearly ready for what could be a battle in the war against the Islamic State or to use the arabic acronym, d. A. S. H. . Just a matter of time before we throw out d. A. S.

You would have thought that this man could have been used for positive propaganda purposes having, as you said, sautecile lum as a u. S. Citizen, himself action but certainly north korea will be saying to anybody else who is going to be coming in to north korea on one of their popular tour packages that you have to stay very much between the lines that they set, otherwise, they have consequences, you can face. Thats a message to the christian missionaries we have seen in the past but, also, in this case, where we dont really know the trues motivations. Beyond that, of course, we cant ignore the fact that right now weve got three prominent detainees in north korea that are u. S. Citizens and so washington is clearly a big factor here.

Some pay rent to landowners if thing. Others dont pay anything. The authorities hearsay there is little they can do to stop the refugees from building these illegal structures.
