Our car just came under fire as we were driving along that road over there. Wed taken shelter in this village mahmoodin. I. S. I. S. Positions are about a mile in that direction and theyre trying to capture the village. The commander Omran Hussein is here and led us to safety. Hussein has just 40 soldiers, 10 are women, some teenagers. Its not enough, the commander told us, but theyre all i have. Theyre female soldiers. Theres no difference between the men and the women, he said. Some of the women are better fighters than i am. At just 19 years old, akina akin is already battlehardened. I. S. I. S.

Was that a complete surprise to you . Well, i think the head of the Intelligence Community jim clapper they underestimated what had been taking place in syria. Reporter well, he didnt just say that we underestimated i. S. I. L. He said we overestimated the ability and the will of our allies the iraqi army to fight. Thats true. Thats absolutely true. Reporter and these are the people we are now expecting to carry on the fight. Well, heres what happened in iraq when we left, we had left a democracy that was in tact and a military that was well equipped and the ability for them to chart their own course.

I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin, theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures.
