Which may very well describe baghdad. Do any of you, are any of you qualified to talk about whether iraq should do a Currency Exchange designed to invalidate the many billions of dollars worth of iraqi currency isis seeded in the mosul bank . Well well move on to another question. For what its worth, Ranking Member, i think its a good idea. And i would suggest maybe after a you reflect on it if you could have a written response to the congressmans question. That would be helpful. And let me establish just a policy for this committee. I will yield automatically to any member who wants to say i have a good idea. Wont happen all the time. Its unlikely to interrupt me very often. In world war ii the french lived under any occupation and we regarded those areas as areas to be bombed and constricted. Obviously, you couldnt, the government wasnt allowed to buy argentine wheat and just bring it in by ship across the ocean. We regarded france as an asset of the nazis. Yet, im told in news repor
And tolerant societies that welcome the contributions of all people including the people of faith. The resolution we submitted today does not call for the deployment of Ground Combat forces to iraq or syria. It is not the authorization of another ground war like afghanistan or iraq. The 2600 american troops in iraq today largely serve on bases. And yes they face the risks that come with service in any dangerous environment but they do not have a combat mission. They are focused on training iraqi forces including Kurdish Forces. As ive said before, i am convinced the United States should not get dragged back into another prolonged ground war in the middle east. That is not in our National Security interests and it is not necessary for us to defeat isil. Local forces on the ground who know their countries best are best positioned to take the ground fight to isil and that is what they are doing. At the same time this resolution strikes the Necessary Balance by giving us the flexibility we
The fear return . For u. S. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton, and morsi, the agreement calls for discussion on a number of issues, including freedom of movement for palestinians, in and out of gaza. And the agreement not to target the area in gaza, and to halt rocket fire into israel. Again, a discussion, nothing is a done deal. Over the next hour well look at the negotiations still happening now. Well also hear from the spokesperson for the Israeli Defense forces, and the leader of hamas, plus, the reporters on the ground, and well look at what transpired over the last 24 hours. It is remarkable there was a ceasefire this hour, when you consider how this wednesday started off. Take a look. At midday, no sign of a truce yet when a city bus is bombed in tel aviv. At least two dozen were wounded. Israeli police say hamas left the bombs on the bus. Only one exploded. Hamas praised the attack, but the group didnt claim responsibility. Farther south, an israeli home was hit by a rocket, r
Around the world today as outrage seems to be building over the tragic death of a nurse in britain who was duped by a prank phone call from two australian deejays. Both posing as Queen Elizabeth and prince charles. As youve probably heard by now, they said they were calling to check on the condition of prince williams pregnant wife, the duchess of cambridge, who was being treated at the hospital for acute morning sickness. We now have a photo of the nurse who committed suicide. Its being released by the london police. She was the one who took the call and passed that on to catherines ward and another nurse released confidential information on catherines condition. The station aired the recording of the call on tuesday and on friday, this nurse was found dead after apparently a suicide. The deejays are you off the air. They are speaking out saying they are devastated with this death. There is nothing that can make me feel worse than what i feel right now and for what i feel for the fami
