And, they want to be treated with respect. Matter who they are, or how they look. This challenges us to accept and embrace difference. All too often, difference has been used to divide and dehumanize. I grew up in birmingham, alabama. Clue clucks clan, Church Bombings and once described as the most segregated city in america. I know how it feels to all aspirations when your neighbors think that you are incapable or uninterested in anything higher and press there are some members of this audience who have faced that from time to time. We have not, and will not erase the impact of our birth defect of slavery, or the challenge of overcoming prejudices of one another. Please remember this, we do not have a constitutional right not to be offended. We are americans. [applause] we are americans and a believe that we are fundamentally decent people. And in every decent society, whether here or abroad, we should seek not to offend, but we will help our cause if we also result to be slow in taki
When we were fighting it and it is just a different environment. If you look at the protest movement over 2013, they remain moderate tone focused on legitimate grievances of the community. The protests in the fallujah taking place every friday were far more militant, far more extremist. It is just a different like different cultures and attitudes. If i could just follow up on congressman deutschs question, you said most of the foreign fighters were syrian . Had come inighters to syria from the greater region thomas jihadist minded people had come in. Theeo speak about what and president s assad. Do they understand that why allowing these flyovers and potentially strengthening our programming prolonging of the regime, they are undermining their ability to take back their own country from the same extremists . Connection . That what is the difference between and assad regime . There is no love lost with Bashar Alassad. He was calling for him to be brought to a criminal court taste upon b
Was that a tactical surprise on the part of the sil or did we have intelligence that suggested they were mustering and were about to move or did the iraqis have that intelligence . And if we did what was wrong with that and secondly, you talked about how the suicide bombers turned and twisted logic has become the most precious resource, and in november of 2012, there were three suicide bombers and that has gone up to 50. What is the scope on that or is that continuously expanding . Do we expect to be at 100 by next year or is that if you could speak to that issue. Third, to point out that sis you quoted that on january 21 how seriously is the threat to baghdad . Fourth, if you could comment you point out the isil the maliki soldiers did not take the bait. Is that something that is ongoing; are they executing prisoners in the center of falluja or the central part as yohe would say in falluja .

What reason would that snb. Well, i applaud collin for standing with him. Colin powell endorsed the president because they are both black . Really . The president himself weighed in on it today.

No, it doesnt make much sense. Sununu tried to walk back his statements by saying, colin powell is a friend and i respect the endorsement decision he made and do not doubt that it was based on a
[captions Copyright National cable satellite corp. 2014] some may argue that the lack of enduring u. S. Troop presence in iraq has contributed to the resurgence of violence, especially sunni terrorism related to al qaeda. But lets be honest, the dire security situation in an bar province is much more about iraqi politics than it is about the United States. In any case, the direct use of u. S.
