But the coalition has still been engaged in fighting an insurgency and trying to contain sleeper cells that remain operational in that country. But of course, its much more complicated than that. If we go back to earlier this year, there was this Parliament Vote to oust all foreign troops. And that vote came in response to the u. S. Killing of iranian general custom, some in money and other iraqi officials here in baghdad. And weve also seen a surge in rocket attacks on u. S. Interests, and it was in that context that the 2 sides renegotiated u. S. Military presence, beginning the drawdown from 1st 5000. 00 troops earlier this year to 3000. 00 troops as of september. So this additional drawdown is not that significant in light of the reductions that have already taken place. But what remains to
Where many embassies are based. It was a little after 8. 30 in the morning when the 1st rocket landed in the Afghan Capital for the next 10 minutes, it felt like kabul was under attack. Witnesses say the attack during the morning rush hour was timed to cause maximum damage. So for the record, what they got was morning and we were leaving our home when an explosion happened 2 of my sisters and my mother wounded. So we took them to hospital. I would have thought the way for book it was around 9 am. Rockets hit the bakery, wounding an employee who needed hospital treatment. Lots of shopkeepers are going to suffer financially because of this. I still has claimed responsibility for the attack. It came just hours before the u. S. Secretary of state might bump a 0. Arrived in qatar as capital doha, hes talking to both Afghan Government and taliban negotiators. Involved in peace talks, there shows richies and security that are just breath yet again. So that the sort of weaponry gets into the c
Not the biden was going to be president , but that he can start planning in case he is us president deltron tweeted out. He gave her permission to move forward, adding their own case strongly continues, we will keep up the good fight. But almost all of his legal cases have been quickly thrown out of court. I do think that he did have some interesting legal cases that he could have brought in a lot of these really close states in michigan and pennsylvania. But he didnt bring any of them his, his legal team resorting to these while, you know, theories of conspiracy. President trump is also losing momentum in the states on monday in michigan, the results were certified giving joe biden, that critical win. This letter means that biden can now actually plan to be president with the most important thing is getting all the people who need to be approved to get soetoro approval to get security clearances. And there are spouses, and thats process has been stalled until now. So the fact that we
What were going to do today, ladies and gentlemen, is were going to do robert e. Lee in the postwar years. And my coworker, when they were upstairs before we came down, asked me if this was going to be a beatification, which never hit me, but it might, because i am a big fan of robert e. Lee. What im hoping to do, among others, besides give you a timeline as to what robert e. Lee did in the postwar years, which i think is obviously the most often overlooked portion of his life, because the civil war is always going to be first and foremost. The other main theme of this lecture, im going to try to get across to you, the park service is big on themes, is that the amount of i wouldnt say that he did a lot of work in theory, but through his own personal example is probably the best way, through his own personal example, robert e.

Hello. My name is Lewis Johnson here with the seminole nation of oklahoma. We are at the museum located in the capital of the seminole nation of oklahoma wewoka, oklahoma.

Im actually mikobooka, which means like the twin chief, i am the assistant chief for the seminole nation of oklahoma. I came into office in 2013, this is 2019. Im in my second term and have two more years to fulfill this second term. I think, you know, of many tribes, over 500 native tribes in america, that the seminoles are a tribe of a people that are of interest. I think part of that interest is because the defiance that the seminoles had put up during the conflicts in earlier history to not be defeated.
