Them in places in the country where they would be much less likely to be engaged, but if they were engaged there were not only have the right to defend themselves, my themselves my presumption would be re would assist in. Is that a fair estimate . That is my feeling. It is what i said. I think we have an obligation to do so. I do not expect that occasions arise anytime soon. To get to the chairmans. And the very first vetting the thing, mr. Chairman that made the number so small, and i said the i said the number 60 and can look at your faces. The same reaction i do. Why is that number so small. The reason for that has to do with the criteria we applied. Some of this is the law to these recruits. We do counterintelligence screening. We make sure that for example they arent going to pose a green on blue threat to the trainers that they dont have any history of atrocities. These are all things that are required of us. Theyre willing to engage in the campaign in a way that is compliant wit
Dempsey, is to me intellectually dishonest. Senator aot. Mr. Chairman just for the record president george w. Bush signed an agreement with maliki government to withdrawal all forces. Well have that debate later on but it was clear we could have and Everybody Knows they could have and the people that were there knows they could have senator a yot. Thank you both for being here and your service to the country. We both appreciate it.

Are we doing that directly or through the iraqi Central Government . We are not the only ones but we and others convey the weapons directly to the kurds.

Because previously we heard complaints about it going through the Iraqi G
Remains unclear. And the winter games. Beijing. A city that doesnt get much snow lands the 2022 Winter Olympics. El this is Al Jazeera America. We begin in the west bank where the United States joined the International Community in condemning an arson attack that claimed the life of a palestinian toddler. Mourners buried him he burned to death after his home was firebombed. The boys parents and a brother were injured in the attack. They accused jewish hard liners of the bombing. The perpetrators left behind hate inspired graffiti in hebrew. The star the david was drawn next to the word revenge. Netanyahu called it horrific. But the Israeli Government turns a blind eye to settler terrorists. Reporter the family shared the only bedroom. They would have been fast asleep when the window was smashed and the room set on fire. He saw the attackers lying outside with the clothes on fire. When he came back, the two men were gone. Translator smoke was coming out of the house. I saw the fouryearo
Talking specifically about the sixday war, i came to the understanding or at least this is my argument that you should see the war in a global context because even before were starting to deal with what nasser did on the 13th of may and why he acted the way he did when he received that memo, webbed think about the fact we should think about the fact that the whole developing world was experiencing a severe economic crisis at the time, and all the countries that fought the sixday war were developing countries. Some were more developed than others, israel more than egypt, but they were all developing countries. And what happens in the mid 60s is basically the end of a business cycle. A decade beforehand, in the mid 50s, everybody looked, lets say, in places like the u. S. , in washington, in new york, even in moscow.

Doctor laron was a great pleasure to welcome you to this event. Im a christian and i directed the history and Public Policy program at the Woodrow Wilson center, a program that tries to provide Historical Context to current Public Policy issues in washington. Many of you are familiar with one of the subprojects of the history of Public Policy, the program we have run here for 25 years. More than 25 years. A project thats devoted to uncovering, collecting, translating, disseminating, making accessible and discussing new evidence from what used to be the former communist world archived but its crept to what now include really all hard to access archives around the world. We are delighted to launch with this event today, a series of activities discussing, on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the sixday war. We will have today the launch of perhaps the most important new publication of International History to come out on the war. I thank you are all in for a treat. We are also doing
