unfortunately it s much more complicated than that and, boy, did he reveal a lot about himself yesterday. let s turn now to a member of the armed services and homeland security committees. congresswoman elizabeth slotkin. good to see you this morning. just your reaction to an absolutely stunning wild day out of the white house. the rebuke from your body, the house of representatives of the president s policy as it pertains to turkey and syria, where do we go from here to somehow salvage what s happening in northeast syria? yeah, well, it was a really strong showing of bipartisanship yesterday, that was one the most bipartisan votes that we ve had since i ve been in congress since january. so that was a strong signal to the president that, you know, republicans and democrats don t agree with this policy. where do we go from here? it s definitely it s definitely going to be a challenge. and i think per your conversation you were just having, there s one conversation about, you know,
meeting but there is no meeting on the schedule. it may be that this meeting is up to the iranians that the point, whether that s a step they want to take. we have seen some expectations, management coming from u.s. officials. if a handshake doesn t happen or a bilateral tonight happen on the side, they don t want that to signal to people that this new diplomacy between the two countries has fizzled. there s some truth to that. we ll see the u.s. secretary of state john kerry in the same room as the iranian foreign minister thursday as part of the key five plus one talks, permanent five members of the security council plus one. and many other changes coming out of iran now, 80 political prisoners released yesterday. there is some real change. whether or not this iconic meeting happens.
