I want i want to ask a question of you if the objective were to destroy isys, not to we cannot a great but utterly destroy what would be required militarily to accomplish that objective . It would not be possible to destroy. I do think the military aspect is critical. If the timeframe i suggested is not feasible feasible but let me ask you a followup question what will be required to destroy isys and what timeframe is necessary . If that were the objective what would be required to accomplish it . Clicks from my perspective today this is a longterm endeavor a longterm endeavor on the order of years, not months.

Leadership has been looking at that to setup a climate where retaliation is not acceptable i will put a question for the record about the unused building record in afghanistan. I know there was an investigation that you were not found to be a problem in this but it is a problem the investigation found no problem and in reality there was a huge problem that someone signed off on a building for 36 million that is never going to go used. My final question if you dont have time to do it now, i want to make sure we get your take on isis in afghanistan. With your experience in afghanistan, are you comfortable you have a handle on what isis is trying to do in afghanistan .

Concerned with it. Heroin is cut with that in order to increase the addictive nature . Increases potency. People go back to it. That is kind of the tragic part of it.

It is mixed with heroin, other substances and really can be mixed with anything just to kind of expanded in its commercial viability.

This is good for our companies, its good for all sorts of industries, and its something that as a general proposition we want to encourage. But its vitally important that when it comes to national security, we remain vigilant. And thats what cfius is designed to do.
