Tactically we have to get enough of the Iraqi Security forces to go from defense to offense, to put it about as bluntly as we can. As we do the government of iraq has to fill in behind that. So to be candid there is some risk here that the three big risks that i would mention to you are if the government of iraq fails to become inclusive and though the signs are promising they havent yet fully delivered. Second, if a coalition forms but doesnt have endurance because this is going to take several years. And then the third risk is retribution. When we encourage and assist the iraq Security Forces to regain lost territory we have to be alert for the fact that unless the government of iraq is there to embrace the people and ensure that they Work Together there could be retribution on the part of those who may have been seen as complicit with isil. So we have some challenges ahead. We are open eyed to them. I think we have a Good Campaign plan. I follow up on that. You have significant expe
I think if i recall, you agree with me when i said that. It is a big effort. The goal was pointy 17 for auditability at the department of defense. Is we can do as the auditor to help them reach that to the extent we can and be independent , but at the end of the day, Financial Statements are the responsibility of management. Auditors job to protest to those Financial Statements and its an uphill job right now. Thank you, mr. Rymer, that tic. Fdic. I see you now. I was going to ask you about your insights, since you have been at dod, about the audit readiness. I know in statute they should be ready by 2017, which you have addressed already. I wanted you to compare and contrast, having been the igate patni fdic versus the dod, but also, mr. Roth came from doj. I know he was not aig there, but maybe he could compare and contrast about each organization, dhs urges doj, and for both of you, probably addressing whether or not there is any tension between the dual reporting responsibility tha
Echo the thoughts of my neighbors to look at acquiring 77 woolsey. The pictures, that is the green houses. To the left is university mound. Your reservoir system. Also its the site of the new hydro electric plant for the educational components of your many programs. Its a perfect location to jel and make it the ultimate storm Water Management park. There are very few opportunities like this available in the city, but there is a strong precedent for other city leaders taking a little piece of property and making it Something Wonderful. On behalf of our neighborhood and your goals of being able to teach and show case and use for different properties. That everyone would be proud of. It seems to make perfect sense and they have reached out to neighbors up and down the street and have held excellent workshops. Lets continue that planning and make it something even bigger. Thank you for your time. Thank you for being here. Commissioner vietor . David . Good afternoon. Commissioner, thank yo
Anybody else interested in speaking, please lineup. Im here to encourage the puc to do whatever you can to acquire the property. That property holds significant value historically. It catches the eye to everyone. I only to have tell people i live near the green houses and they know where i live. I see people photographing them and they say they came from far away. There is a very strong sentiment. Particularly that portal there is one that has been a lot of talk about water sheds and echo systems and other things that are important to see. The kids dont often have an opportunity to see close to home. Again a city kid doesnt get very often to see where food comes from. The idea of letting kids see where vegetables come from and getting their hands dirt is something that is important to all of us in the city as parents. It would be great to have this model. I understand the property is already in escrow. I understand there is some hope that something can be done. I encourage you to do wh
