Decision, we are told, to draw down troops in afghanistan leaving Afghan Forces that the u. S. Had promised to support to the hands of the taliban and isis in afghanistan had to be two issues that were troubling jim mast t jim mattis significantly. His Code Of Ethics is you do not walk away from your friends on the battlefield. Mattis tonight simply may have run out of runway room ahead of him that he felt he could use in dealing with the president. He had been sidelined. He had been his advice on these matters had been rejected clearly. And mattis had had a strategy that simply wasnt working. He was trying to keep a low Public Profile and never say anything that would be contradictory to the president of the United States. He knew that this would infuriate trump. He knows that President Trump doesnt like to see other people
out there in public speaking. That it is all reserved for the president. So mattis over the last two years had had a strategy. You dont see him on camera holding p
Hope may be fading for this portion of the search, but theyre certainly giving it everything theyve got and theyre already planning for phase two. No end in sight as investigators are now only days away from completing the search in the targeted area. And still, no sign of flight 370. Back in the water this morning, bluefin21. After turning up empty scouring twothirds of the intended seabed so far. The search in the air drastically scaled back due to rain, poor visibility, and she i have seas from Tropical Cyclone jack. It represents the best guess as to where the plane may be. If nothing is found, the search area may widen dramatically with more equipment. Investigators say theyre in the early stages of talks on longterm search plans, as far out as july. On monday chinese families ofs those on board flight 370 arrived at a Beijing Hotel expecting a briefing with technical experts from malaysia. But that meeting was canceled. The families turned away. Even a small pieces, they havent f
You. Hes a war hero because he was captured. And i believe perhaps hes a war hero. After receiving backlash for those words. Trump came out swinging in an opinion piece he wrote in usa today saying and im quoting him now mccain has abandoned our veterans, i will fight for them. The rhealeality is john mccain the politician has made america less safe sent our brave soldiers into wrong headed foreign adventures and has spent most of his time in the senate pushing amnesty. Trump continued he would rather protect the iraqi border than arizonas. This morning is the republican president ial candidate was interviewed on nbcs toadhe today show he vehemently criticized the news media for characterization of his comments. Let me ask you this donald would you say to john mccains face what you said . That one comment, im using the one string of sentences together hes not a war hero. Hes a war hero because he was captured. I like people that werent captured. Would you say that to john mccains face
Republican debate, he refused to promise to be a republican. Its been asked many, many times. Hes sort of been moving there a little bit publicly, but i can tell you the way to answer that is to tell you what im told has been going on privately which is a whole lot of conversations, pressure, cajoling, maybe, from the Republican National committee and other republicans even around the country, take south carolina, for example, the first in the south primary states.

Now the reason why im hedging and i keep hedging, i really have been since yesterday when we reported all signs are pointing to trump signing this pledge, is because i am also warned that everything is going to really come down to what happens in the meeting that will happen this hour between donald trump and the Republican Natio
Iphone 7 is here Headphone Jack is out, what else is in . Good afternoon, everyone. Were going to begin today with our politics lead. Peace through strength. That is how donald trump started a majoruation National Security speech. Immediately after taking office, the g. O. P. Says they will have 30 days to quickly defeat isis. Those of you paying attention know that the claim is at odd odds with previous trump pronouncements. He says he knows about isis than the generals do and a Foolproof Plan to destroy the terrorist group. In june trump said the generals dont know much and now the generals have to come up with a new plan. Did mr. Trump elaborate at all on how, under a Trump Administration he would destroy isis . Not with too much specificity other than the call for generals to come up with a new plan within 30 days of him taking over. He say its will require cyber, financial, and side ideological efforts. She is trigger happy and unstable. Whether we like it it or not. Trump also sa
