for a reason. they know time is their biggest allies. and we have a commander and chief telegraphing when we are coming and leaving. that might be the case i want to get pete in here because isn t the problem, when you go into the war for political reason, he will not say radical jihadism even. this is tremendously sad. how do the troops on the ground feel about this? we don t have a committed commander and chief or strategic mission? they are vulnerable and hands are tied and they cannot destroy the enemy actually. there is no underlying, sustainable mission and when they ask for troops they get they are doing the best for what they have but they are demoralized.
finiteite amount in the world and we can use and it is going down. if it is profitable for the company they will do it. it s not unleashing untold amounts of oil on the world. isn t the problem that if all admiral plap, who heads our program said we need about six but i d take one. i was impressed to hear the president say we do need to get more ice breakers. that was great. remember, the russian coast is half of the arctic. ours is a sliver. with increased traffic on the northern sea route in russia and going through the bering strait,
amounts of oil on the world. isn t the problem that if all the oil, which has been in the arctic is used that basically means we are in a dangerous no-win situation for the climate? it pushes us beyond the limit of what the planet can handle in terms of emissions and warming. you assume more oil will be used because it will come from alaska. i imply the market is dictating how much is used. if it is cheaper, if the costs come down because there is more supply, the assumption is more oil will be used. we will use that instead of others but it depends what will nap the future. oil is not coming next week. it is a long way off. i m confident we will come up with some kind of alternatives now and then, between now and then. but, for alaskans they need an alternative. it is half of the year you have darkness and it s not a good place for solar power.
going to stop this is take back the territory and stop their ability to say we have what we always wanted . isn t the problem is that s their territory. they re going to move it somewhere else. it s like cockroaches, step on it here, they show up over i don t hate to say it. here. it s not a bad analogy in a sense. you re right. we have you re right. we have to be pragmatic, deal with the problem in front of us. we d love to think somewhere down the road we re going to get to root causes of extremism. it s not attractive, not something you should do. not a lifestyle that s ende looks looks like something glorious. afraid to attack a. what would you like to hear from the white house today? a, talk in very explicit terms about this being an isis
fighters going in and out of europe into syria. and there s no strategy for syria at the moment beyond isis. and you said what is the obama plan. at the very beginning, the president said one of the most important things we can do is to find representation for the sunnis in baghdad, to find an alternative narrative for the sunnis. i agree. in other parts of iraq and we haven t done it. the baghdad government hasn t stepped up to it. they ve moved closer to iran. this is the critical thing in the whole region because isis isn t the problem, violent extremism is the problem. you need moderate sunni stabilizing alternatives in these places. you ve got to build these grassroots organizations from the ground up. it s tough, but i don t see any progress. i don t know if you see progress. i don t see any progress. the growing narrative is that sunnis are the victims, and we ve gone from shia victimhood to sunni victimhood and we re stuck in a cycle. thank you so much for your expert
