We want to be able to see how that works. Seven people have received zmap as part of a compassionate use effort, including those first individuals we heard about who were airlifted to emory hospital in georgia. We really dont know with just seven individuals treated whether this works and individuals are not. Those were the only seven doses that existed trade existed. For technical reasons, thats not trivial. These antibodies are developed in a tobacco leaf program. That is how the factory is put together. Turndoesnt necessarily into something were you turn the crank and you have lots of it. There are two or three other therapeutics that are also potentially promising, but none of them have been in human trials. We have a big push as well. As far as nih, we did not receive additional dollars. That goes through to december 11. Clearly whatever happens after hope for additional dollars. This will cost a lot of money. We are talking about ebola and other topics here with the National Inst
Quickly. If krg is under threat, would go ahead. This is a great question. What you are hearing in the press my answer to you is no. This is not surprising. This is interesting. Some of the kurdish leaders, they just made these statements in the press, we are very disappointed that you didnt defend us against isil. But nonetheless, you know, this is a bit surprising. Theres many people who kind of knew this all along. So i think this is more part of the iraqi kurds have miscalculated, misinterpreted and overstepped how far turkey will go. Quite frankly, turkey doesnt need to. At this point, the iraqi kurds have become so indebted and so dependent upon occur urkey that if they are disappointed or upset or angry, i dont see how thats going to affect the alliance because the leverage is not in the iraqi kurds hands at this point. Does that mean occur urkey will be involved in terms of reconnaissance . Certainly. Launching a missile against isil is the same type of pressures that turkey wo
Budget deficit, 38 , education, 31 . Immigration was at 14 . The beheadings were enforcing mechanism. Congress planned to be in session only 12 days after the summer legislative recess. The beheadings compressed the calendar in terms what the president can do and what congress wanted to do. What Congress Really wanted to do was pass a shortterm extension of the budget and then get out of town and focus on the elections. I would take a little the difference with rachels point. The congress does not want to take tough votes is not a new concept. Districts are more gerrymandered than before. If you look back at lincolns time, they avoided votes because it was too politically difficult than and it has not changed since. Before we go further, we will have to have a debate about who we are actually fighting. Even an important citizen might be very confused without a scorecard of who are the threats. I would like to bring tim starks in here. You had clapper and the Intelligence Committee brie
Are not simply putting out the fires. We also have to think longterm, it seems to me, or we are in for a 100year war. Exactly right, sir. This morning at an open meeting, nsa director rogers said there should be no doubt in our mind that our nation states and groups with the capability festa to forestall our ability to operator basic infrastructure whether it is generating power or moving water and fuel. How concerned are you about terrorist groups using their capacity for what i call hackers for hire to attacker infrastructure . How serious is this cyberattack threat . I would agree with the nsa director in what he said this morning. As i understand it, the threat he is referring to is more acute from state actors that present them for an individual terrace or establish terrorists. Isil has shown a pretty good capability with the internet. Exactly. Certainly one they aspire and exercise. And so, knowing that, we are looking for ways to be ahead of them in our ability to defend her inf
Peshmerga. So, there was a unity and continues to be, for the most part, i think, on this particular issue, but at the same time, there are questions about and keep hearing them, are we doing enough, you know, is is this policy of what appears be to be sort of mission creep, where we dribble in additional troops bit by bit is that the most effective way going about it . Another issue that has been there for this administration, previous ones, is middle east, the peace process, jerusalem, excuse me, israel and palestinian conflict, we are seeing violence again yesterday in jerusalem at that synagogue. Secretary of state john kerry quick to condemn the attacks and call on the Palestinian Leader to do so as well. Did he, but then also said, blamed israeli provocations. Where do you think this is headed . Tough in east and west jerusalem, there arent really any barriers and this was apparently, you know, conducted by israeli arabs. Suddenly, theres a sense among israelising we have the ene
