I know we have a very big debate going on, and everybody is torn asunder on the other issue of whether to keep the prosecution decisions and the chain of command for serious offenses, but on this one, limiting the scope of article 32, we have broad support, and i even have support, im proud to say, of chairman levin and senator inhofe has helped. We have a tremendous group of people who have who have helped us. We will have these proceedings presided over by a military lawyer, when possible. The proceedings are going to be recorded. We will prevent victims from being forced to testify in these proceedings. They can have alternative forms of testimony instead. So these are the basic commonsense reforms. And im very happy to say that with the strong support we have from so many on both sides of the aisle and with the support of chairman levin, i feel very positive, but to get this done, to stop this revictimmization of people who are just distraught by having been attacked and raped and
Highways, plumbing, electricity in the wall, nitrogen fixing fertilizers, vaccines, clean water available with the turn of another near home. When all these things appear what is undeniable and really apparent immediately thereafter is a wave of improvement and wellbeing for people. Vast portions of the population start getting better, also all kinds of things are opened up. I was certain now was going to happen with digital networking, but it is not exactly the way things went. Starting around the turn of the century i started to notice a pattern that was really bothering me which is that my friends who worked in the industries that were most affected by digital networking first, and im thinking of musicians and journalists and photographers, were not finding the world of new opportunity that i had for so long anticipated would appear. Instead i ended up almost every week having to be part of a fundraiser to help somebody get a crucial operation in needed and they did not have insuran
Of the house of representatives. Pursuant to the order of the house january 3, 2013, the chair for now recognize members morning our debate. The chair will alternate recognition between the parties with each party having one hour. With majority and minority Leaders Limited to five minutes each. Note debate should continue beyond 11 50 a. M. The chair recognizes the german from oregon the gentleman from oregon for five minutes. Unfair and often counterproductive. Invites tax engineering and is hugely expensive for those just trying to meet their obligations. Invasions we and lose billions of dollars of. Evenue that should be and providing for our families. While we may disagree with some fundamentals, it would be a mistake to begin with our area of disagreement. I commend the chairman for working to build common understanding on a path forward. But there is one area that has not been part of the tax reform discussion but is every bit as critical at solving our budget deficit. Thats to d
The uss Teddy Roosevelt with a bunch of iranian cargo ships and other ships heading that way. We learned in that iranian convoy of nine ships there are warships as well. Theyre not just cargo ships. The u. S. Is concerned about what the cargo is does it carry weapons. The public message is different from the private message. Publicly the white house, state department and others are saying were there to protect navigation shipping lanes et cetera but military officials telling me privately, that watching that iranian convoy is certainly part of this. Thats why you have f18 hornets flying Recon Missions off the Teddy Roosevelt, by watching sending a message to iran they are watching. Were keeping an eye on you, are you sending arms in. You will not see the Teddy Roosevelt pull in front of an iranian warship and put sailors on that that would be an extraordinary step but the hope is sending this physical message of the u. S. Aircraft carrier is enough to cause the iranians to pull back. T
The map. The geography is key the in the story. The stakes are higher and the u. S. Needs help in syria. The u. S. Military is already doing it with the kurdish fighters in iraq. It seems to be working. Just today an isis advance in Northern Iraq came to a screeching halt near the town of irbil. Kurdish fighters fought back the militants calling in u. S. Air strikes to finish the job. Bob mcfadden, Senior Vice President of the soofan group and the naval investigative service. Good to see you, bob. Thank you. Let me begin with before the logistics offer war here, information from the single source. This is claims by iraqs u. N. Ambassador that bodies of isis victims are being found cut up,erup, organs missing. One would deduce its to sell organs on the black market. No proof of this. If it were true, would it surprise you . It wouldnt. Hardly anything surprises us about the Islamic State. You know when we heard the ambassador say this today, i mean some eyebrows raised of course. Its a
