Iraq and is committed to consulting with congress and congressional leaders regularly. The president hoshosted a meeting the last week in july or first week in august where he invited democrats and republicans from the house and senate to talk to this. And there is consultation that has been done from senior members to congress members. Those conversations continue. But in terms of what maybe required if the president were to take or order a specific action i am not in a position to guess. This can be done with the consent of congress or it can be done passively by attaching it to a bill that has to be passed. Would the president want some kind of congressional approval . I am not going to guess what kind of approval is requested or required based on military action that hasnt in ordered. There has been a number of war power notifications that have been submitted as it relates to specific orders in iraq. The president is committed it this process and consultations but i am not say what

Reporter it happened at about 10 30 local time in the kabul suburb of wardock thats just east of this city. According to a Coalition Military source, a lone gunman dressed in an afghan army uniform was in the middle of a briefing with other soldiers, both coalition and afghan soldiers, turned his weapon on them and opened fire. The source said there were casualties but could not confirm that among those casualties were any fatalities. Theyre assessing the damage from that incident.

Let me finish tonight with this. Think right now, the american soldier on post right now somewhere in the wildness of afghanistan.
