By each senator who goes to speak and define why we are doing this and what were doing i think is would be a healthy debate. Im confident coming out of that would be an absolute understanding of why everyone in the region and world that we are deeply committed to this and committed for more than the three years. The three years will be respected as secretary carter says as a reflection of the process and not as a management of the fundamental commitment to achieve our goals. Every country in the region has committed to defeat isil. Every country. That is partly what has prompted some of the questions because of irans commitment to do that. I really think the three years is more of a statement of respect by president obama, for him to say to the next president , to the Congress Review this, take a look at this, see how it is going.

I just returned yesterday from a trip to the middl
There are some who say we need an executive branch of the presidency that has no restrictions at all. We dont really want to have a vote and all of this. Sort of like commanderinchief, you do that. But when it comes to diplomacy that is still unfinished, and still a work in progress, they want maximum constraints and lack of maneuverability. I think that is the fair, sort of analytical, statement. What i think is unfortunate, and have seen this over the past years, is the perceived costs of making National Security issues. I do think that the real costs in the world, how we argued around the world because of these letters, because of almost shutting down parts of the department of Homeland Security to protect us from terrorists, the perceived costs have gone down. And i hope we can rebuild that center of internationalism. Host we are going to dig our viewers in about 15 minutes to capitol hill. The Senate Foreign Relations Committee will be gaveling in, a hearing to fight isis. Secreta
