Military and there is the relatively quick often we turn to that instrument often. In principle this seems like a world setup for diplomacy. But that has been less developed in our arsenal of things to do than military options. So i think you are right. I share your sense that we ought to be looking more toward diplomacy and other measures. The problem with economic assistance and those things are very longterm; right . It comes back to the time of the officials and the time that must be adhered to to get something done. And that also increases the temptation to look for military instrument probably. I do your your sense personally as a citizen thinking about these issues that we havent quite got that balance right. We are just so much better that military things than we are at other things that it is, i think, tempting to turn to those instruments. Lady in the front row. Thank you. I was wondering if you have any comments on the presence of china and russia in latin america especially
Privile privileges to a hospital within 30 miles and requiring facilities have to hospital like standards is a violating their right. Whole Womans Health versus hellerstedt. Mr. Chief justice, may i appease the court. The texas requirements undermine the careful balance between statess legitimate interest in regulating abortion and woman ability to make their own decision. They create obstacles to abortion access. There is a preliminary question. Would you address that . That disclaim is for prudence. Lets take first the claim that was in the prior litigation. Lets assume they are separate claims. That was argued and decided. Why isnt it precluded . Your honor, it is not precluded because staff to the claim developed subsiquent. The new action is filled six days after the Supreme Court issues its decision in this case. You could have asked for supplement briefing. In abbot, the plaintiffs brought the new fact do is the court of appeals and the court of appeals said it would only consid
Recruitment, retention and moralee . Thank you, senator. Thank you for that question. Let me begin at the beginning. Why did we do this in the first place . The reason to open up all mos to females is to make sure that were able to access what is, after all, 50 of the population. Right. And understandably. Im not worried about the merits of that but the implications for the Selective Service. I do understand. That is the action we took. As far as informing the congress, we have the implementation plans for that, including everything that is required by law in order for us to do what we need to do. Separately is the Selective Service system, which is not administered by us. And is governed by statute. You will have a voice in any implications for that. My own belief about that is twofold.

One of the key questions, with respect to your observation, how do they respond to pressure . Do they keep things intact . Or do they end up going into a tailspin because they do not expect pressure to have the effect that it does . Do either of you have comments . There was a wonderful table pledged allegiance to isis and wedge of this group has isis accepted to pledge . Thank you for the discussion. Something nadia said, from my understanding, is saudi arabia the mothership . And here we are just focusing on the little actors, the ones actually doing the brutality. But the money, thoughts, ideas are all coming from saudi arabia . Is that the case, the International Community needs to focus on that and to finally have the balls to stop getting oil and giving you money, is that what it is going to take to end it . At this rate, it will never end. We will go after one fruit after another. What the Islamic State forces children to learn in its schools is the weddings writingshools is the
