Than 5,000 Opposition Forces. The package of assistance we initially provide would consistent of small arms, vehicles, and basic equipment Like Communications as well as tactical and strategic training. As these forces prove their effectiveness on the battle field, we would be prepared to provide increasingly sophisticated types of assistance to the most trusted commanders in capable forces. Because dod does not currently have the authority to conduct a train and equip mission, the administration asked congress to provide the authority and the continuing resolution it is currently now considering.

Welcome to the lead. Im jake tapper. Starting with the world lead today, as you likely do not need reminding, the United States was provoked into a war with radical islam and now 13 years later, the president who ran on the promise of ending a war stands ready to open what amounts to a new front. This time, in syria. Today, as we have done every year since the 9 11 attacks, we listened as the names of the 2,977 innocent People Killed on that day were read aloud. During Memorial Services at ground zero, at the pentagon and in shanksville, pennsylvania. Now, the enemy since 9 11 has been scattered. It has regrouped. It has mutated.
