Perhaps we shouldnt have. I think the days of occupying nations and reconstruction with the hope that jeffersonian democracy is going to plant seeds and roots, it may have been naive. Its a very primitive country, afghanistan. Ive been there many times. So my question, as i advise the president on syria, a residual force to protect the homeland, i dont think we can afford to stay in these countries forever and occupy them forever. I think the most important thing we can do is to have a residual force of some sort to take out terrorist threats to the homeland in a counterterrorism mission. Maybe we lost sight of what our mission was in the first place, and so i guess and i know youre not here to report on policy, per se, but id like your comments on dha, and to that end, what programs have been most effective at counterterrorism in that mission .

President trump. This is 20 minutes. Hello. Now, this is going to be our last Weekly Press Conference for the year and decade. Before we begin if i dont get to see you i want to wish you all a very, very Merry Christmas and prosperous new year. Being our last press conference were going to start where we started about a year ago, talking about impeachment. You watched what transformed last night on this floor.

I myself want to say i have a spring in my step because the moral courage of our caucus, to see them all so many of them, 100 members, go to the floor, thats all we had time for, to go to the floor and speak about our constitution about the facts of the case so clearly, so patriotically, so prayerfully, so solemnly, but so definitely. Just to get this off the table right away, we impeached the president , immediately everybody was on to the next thing.
