isis. let s step back and to a little history here. this is one of the things i think is absent in the united states. we have a bad case of amnesia. we invaded iraq in 2003. we had a combat force. a massive combat force of 125,000 men, which cut through all resistance within three weeks like a sythe, all right. now, i fought every war in the middle east and let me tell you something, that was an overwhelming piece of force. however, we occupied that country for eight years. we took 4,686 dead soldiers. there s a number no one remembers. people fought and they died for this operation. and it was not in vain. however, it did create this enemy we re fighting now. this is al qaeda in iraq generation five. they know and they want us back in there. the question is how are we going to do it smart, do it like we did last time. look at the alternative. instead of going to the pentagon, president obama could have come here to new york, to the u.n., to the security
handling the rape investigation. they did investigate it, but suspended the case without looking at the medical evidence and the victims rape kit. in a statement to the media baylor university said a decision was rendered to move to a full investigation hearing. in the investigation the waco police detectives said that there was not enough evidence to make an arrest. they sent it to the prosecutors that brought it to the grand jury. he was finally indicted in late june of 2014 eight months after the incident. speaking to reporters before friday s practice, baylor s coach said that he followed protocol. nobody is going do that with a prior conviction or a really an allegation. like i said we made our decision
audited personally or professionally her business? that s absolutely stunning and terrifying. when you go through this list, all of the sudden and the only thing that s changed is because she has become a tea party member. that s the only thing. otherwise she was just a business woman uninvolved. it s terrifying when this happens it? is and you can understand the frustration of journalismy jordan and others when after six months and having 12 people assigned to, quote, investigate it, she hasn t even been interviewed. now, the phish went and talked to her when she was politically active but they haven t talked to her about her allegations of criminal wrongdoing against the irs that s what s so frustrating. they will talk to her to silence her and free speech. they won t talk to her when she makes allegations against the irs. for the president to say what he said sunday, i would encourage him to talk to her and talk to ms. gerritson and talk to some of the other victims that i have ta
government. they were alleging that the administration doesn t care enough about classified information being leaked. if they really cared, they would freaking investigate it. they would chase this thing down. what the president ought to be saying is that this is very damaging to the country. and we re going to do everything we can to get to the bottom of it, whether it involves my white house or where ever in the intelligence community. well, we certainly need to have an investigation of what has happened. the question is, do we really have an independent and aggressive investigation because these leaks are very, very disturbing. republicans last june demanding a serious investigation into these dastardly leaks. well, they got their investigation and as part of that, the attorney general himself was investigated as to whether maybe he was the leak to those ap reporters or perhaps
situations. you ask me to put assets there, how do i know if it s going to be one hour, ten hours, or ten days? the last big hostage situation we had lasted 400 days. some have said that the best, instead of having five separate committees, why not a special investigative committee that john boehner can form into this where they were s&p power, witnesses under oath, interrogatories by the president? i think if this were a republican president you now would have republican support along with the democrats to do a select committee. the problem with this is the democrats are the ones who have made this partisan. these are answers we need not for political reasons, these are answers we need to prevent something like this electric happening again in the future. if we want find out why this happened, i think one of the things secretary clinton said when she testified, it happened a while ago and why are we so concerned about it? one of the reasons we are so concerned about it is to preve
