So i certainly hope they would be but i have no confidence as i sit here right now that they will. Senator nelson when, mr. Secretary, when you look at a map like this, a map of syria that i assume you handed out, somebody did thats a mess. And maybe it is the only solution is the solution of a political exit for assad so that we can go after these extremist elements. By the way, i had to leave the committee to do an interview on cnn, and the whole focus that they wanted to jump on was your statement earlier in the hearing that we had only trained up 60. But i pointed out to them what you said was the vetting is very difficult and in fact we are vetting some several thousands additional and the vet is a lot more tore tuesdayous because you certainly dont want to have a guy trained up and then you ends up aiming his gun back at us. In iraq, do you think that this new Prime Minister has the capability of getting out of his shiite mo ....
Them substantial opportunity to determine their own destiny within the territory that they control. That is what multisectarianism in iraq would mean. As you indicate, its a lot tougher in syria. But thats the objective that we have to have sunnis i would like to see the sunni tribal leaders that you met with be as successful as the kurds are. We would welcome that. Thats what were trying to stimulate. And were willing to do more as the chairman indicated and i indicated when we have a capable ground force that we can support the way we did support over the weekend the kurds in the north with air power. Thank you mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, i also want to agree with the line of your questioning earlier. I think it would be absolutely foolish for us not to clarify the rules of engagement for the syrian trained folks inserted back into the field to make clear that the u. S. Will support them if they come under attack by assad regime. For them to go in without protection, we would lose all cred ....
Considering how much we invested, the soldiers general dempsey led in iraq. So im worried im not happy about this. I think delusion is a word thats too accurate. So i just want to say that here at the beginning. I hope we will get into more details about what you plan to do to reverse this action. And at some point the president s going to have to change his mind, it seems to me. He cannot just function based on a Campaign Promise when reality is different. Secretary carter do you want me to answer that question . It is a fair question, let me go back to the issue of the strategy, and then i will Say Something about afghanistan. The strategy is for defeating isil on the ground in iraq and syria is to train and then enable local forces. That takes some time. Senator sessions i understand that. General dempsey was training the iraqi forces eight years ago. I visited him in ira ....
Internet and find themself spart, you see people who have had no training, no association with it, including americans, who go on the internet and find themself s themselves enthralled because of whatever lost souls they are or because of the violence with isil and selfradicalize and unfortunately undertake to do violence. So you see that spectrum there. You do see some effort by isil, meaning isil in syria and iraq to command and control, but its not exclusively that way. I say all this because thats very distinctly different from the al qaeda model. The al qaeda model was a very hierarchical, very clear command and control type terrorist enemy. And that meant they had discipline and it meant they could take on big things like 9 11, but it also meant that when we started to go after them they were vulnerable to attacks on the command and control structure and on their logistics structure. Isils more resilient because it is more decentralized and informal in that kind of sense. Takes a ....
Week of november and secondly, what you see the role of switzerland not just for purposes of dealing with what may be in the Banking System and the action in this space. Where things are headed in the perspective. The form on recovery. Again, thats something that we do in cooperation with the world bank, etc. We do expect the specific result. We provide the forum to look back at the last year and on the ses us, and the tunesian case, probably they will soon be a return and a lot of the funds probably not compared with the and the case of egypt given the countrys development. Again, they are very encouraging signs and increased cooperation and we could then also go into a restitution mode soon. I think that will be the topic at the contrary. As for switzerlands role, we have received a mandate, so to speak and the un conference against the corruption. I think all of us come to realize that if you have this great instrument and its ....
