Of the white house. What are some of the holes that the white house is waiting for the dod to fill, randall . They are doing the afteraction estimate of the damage, as the general indicated earlier they would be doing. Undoubtedly they are probably drones with lookdown capability, trying to see in the targets were completely destroyed and probably identifying more targets to strike. We dont expect them to inform us of that, but expect that is what will be going on with our Defense Department and its Coalition Partners. We also expect some details about the nature of the targets that were struck today and the kind of equipment that was used to strike them. Keep in mind that as far as we know for the most part if not totally, they were using manned aircraft, not drones, and also tomahawk missiles, so we had a lot of manned aircraft, none of them shot down, indicating that the Syrian Air Defense system was not used against the Coalition Forces in part because destroying isil also helps as
The most expensive aircraft the United States has ever built finally did see combat last night. That came at a price tag of 168 billion. A least a few were used last night. One other bit of news that came out that was striking, was again, we talked about the concern that military planners right have, about how syria might try to perhaps shoot down a u. S.

I think Lieutenant General mayville went to great pains to lay out those photos to demonstrate the United States is doing everything in its power to limit

Do most individuals that pay that number, are they paying enough taxes to make ends meet in your view . What im talking about is a tax system that gets people to the point where they are paying that i think is propose. Some people are paying too much. And the middle class hasnt had a tax break in pennsylvania in over 20 years. Our property taxpayers are paying too much. We have the highest corporate net income tax, 9. 99 , in the United States. Thats too high. I believe there are people who are paying too much. If we are going to create a fair tax system, some people will have to pay more. We need a tax system that enables everybody to do what they can do, and that is what i am talking about. People in this room, their antennae go up when they say that is going to hit me.
