The forces and the presence of the pkk, none of these issues are easy and none of them are going to go away tomorrow. The kurds are fighting isis right now, they are kind of the pointy end of the spear, they are not perfect and they need more support in our view. I think eventually the International Community will come around to giving them that support. I would like to see it happen sooner rather than later. That does not mean theres not questions with the impact on the pkk, how turkey would address that, and nervousesness in iran and others. But the truth is, the most urgent challenge right now is defeating isis, and retaking the territorial integrity of iraq and syria. So long as thats an equation, none of the other issues can move forward and things are going to get worst and hundreds on of thousands of people are going die. So, i think we need to look at the kurds as an integral and essential part of the battle and treat them as an ally accordingly. And all the other issues. What

Deferring to this week, trying to make the process slightly better. I certainly appreciate in spite of the fact we dont have a full presentation, i appreciate the presentation hes going to make. Mr. Secretary. Well, mr. Chairman and Ranking Member corker, it really is a pleasure for me to be back before the Foreign Relations committee. During my time here we have some things right. We certainly wound with up wishing we had done things differently. Most of us would agree and i saw it during both parties chairmanships including the years senator luger and i were here that this Committee Works best and makes the greatest contribution to the Foreign Policy and our country when it addresses the most important issues in a strong bipartisan fashion. This is one of those issues. The chairman and the Ranking Member both said that. This is one of the moments when the bipartisan approach really is critical. As you know, the president is committed to engaging with the committee and all of your col

As a spanish person its really an eye opener. Let me tell you something. I came here 40 years ago. The country was so different. There was not this division that it is now thats been driven by so many people. I sit here and i watch this. I think to myself this is the country that i came from. They come up here. They lie to you. They get away with it and they take our money. There is no repercussions for these people. We as the American People need to cla
With partners to provide humanitarian need for the desperate situation of millions in the region. We look forward to working with you, mr. Secretary, on our mutual goal. Welcome you back. Thank you. I want to thank the secretary for being here. In fact, im pretty sure this is not where he would like to be this afternoon. I thank you for coming before the committee. I want to thank the chairman again to try and set up a process this week that was thorough. That has not occurred. I think everyone understands, some of the things we will discuss are obviously like the ground yet, we have no defense presentations here. We have no intelligence presentations here. I want to say, on the syrian half ago e year and a were authorizing something that was, these are my words, one last 10 hours. We were able to go through a process that was much more serious than the one we will have this week. I think all of you will know, what passes in the committee this week will not become law.
