Hello. Im ray suarez. Secretary of state kerry is corralling commitments from governments as the United States figures out how to destroy the gorilla force that calls itself the Islamic State. But a complicated flowchart would emerge. The saudis and qatarees have good relations with the United States, but have been snarling at each other. U. S. Leaders despite the government in tehran, but both the u. S. And the islamic we republic are friends with the shiite group in iraq. But the u. S. And iran on different sides right next door in syria where washington would love to undermine the government of Bashar Alassad, while iran supports it. And both support the destruction of the Islamic State, which is also trying to bring down assad. Turkey also wants to defeat the Islamic State, but wants to do it without embolding the kurds. This latest turmoil in the middle east has created a strange alliance. Some 30 nations from around the world met in paris discussing how to destroy the Islamic Sta

Saw his daughter emily. She said she loved me i gave her a kiss and i went out the door. Emily is one of the victims all of the children 1st graders 6 or 7 years old. 6 adults were also killed among them the School Principal and psychologist both married with children. The principal of the school was running toward the shooter in order to protect her sue dents as was the school psychologist. The grim details dealt the grieving community another blow.

One of bill clintons favorite experts will tell you about the amazing technological advances that are changing the world for the better. But first here is my take. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahus speech to the United States congress was eloquent, moving and intelligent in identifying the problems with the potential nuclear deal with iran. But when describing the alternative to it, he entered never neverland, painting a scenario utterly divorced from rye aelt. Congress joined him on his fantasy ride, rapturously applauding as he spun out one unattainable demand after another. Netanyahu declared that washington should reject the current de
