Blustery out here at mavericks. Yet a handful of surfers are out here practicing as some were when the incident happened. Two men in a small boat decided to come out and watch and almost didnt get to go home. This is what is left of their small boat, wrecked on the jetty and still not safe from kra crashing waves. The waves were up to 18 feet in fight, rolling in every 20 seconds or so. One of those waves flipped the boat upside down, spilling the occupants into the water, they were not wearing life vests and were fortunate they werent seriously hurt or killed.

We make sure that for example they arent going to pose a green on blue threat to the trainers that they dont have any history of atrocities. These are all things that are required of us. Theyre willing to engage in the campaign in a way that is compliant wit
Dempsey, is to me intellectually dishonest. Senator aot. Mr. Chairman just for the record president george w. Bush signed an agreement with maliki government to withdrawal all forces. Well have that debate later on but it was clear we could have and Everybody Knows they could have and the people that were there knows they could have senator a yot. Thank you both for being here and your service to the country. We both appreciate it. Secretary carter you had answered to senator manchin that the arms were providing to the kurds were doing so with the consent of the iraqi Central Government. Are we doing that directly or through the iraqi Central Government . We are not the only ones but we and others convey the weapons directly to the kurds. But we inform the Iraqi Government and get their formal consent to it. So it doesnt delay the arming of the kurds but were who are trying to stick up for the Central Government. Because previously we heard complaints about it going through the Iraqi G
