Group. It is clearly a major regional threat. It has also created an enormous safe haven in syria and iraq and attracted numerous foreign fighters which give it key assets for plotting terrorist acts abroad. While they hay want to carry out attacks in the west, to date, it has not carried out or even attempted a covert terrorist organization outside its theater. Indeed, i think we have to ask a question, is it focused on us . I would submit that right now its focus is not principally on us. Despite the appalling executions of the last two weeks they are consumed by their efforts to tear apart iraq in a sectarian conflict. And to quote the direct i dont have director of nctc from his speech yesterday, at this point in time we have no credible information that isil is planning to attack the United States he added in our view, any threat this is from the sympathizers and foreign fighters, any threat to the u.

Undersecretary stated this was perspective money, it was not interfering and dealing with this issue. For those of us who have been in a war, people die in a war zone. This money did not cause that. Thank you, reclaiming my time. Mr. Chairman, the biggest difference in the clinton impeachment and this one is that president clinton committed a crime, perjury. This president isnt even accused of committing a crime. The constitution is pretty clear on what constitutes an impeachable defense, treason, bribery and other high crimes and misdemeanors.
