But its got to be led by the commanderinchief. Frankly, thats how the system works. Thats how its worked every time. Now, id like to switch gears real quickly. U. S. Back. Syrian rebels linked to al qaeda. Time is running out for obama and syria. Westernbacked Syrian Rebels are in danger of collapse before help arrives. All of these are wellknown media experts and they are on the verge of collapse and they are getting beaten very badly. One of the major reasons they are getting beaten very badly is because theyre subject to bombing and air attacks from Bashar Al Assad. So i guess my question again is and by the way, ambassador James Jeffrey says time isnt on our time. Reconsider the no combat formations on the ground decision because you may have to either renege on that or you may have to fall off your very Important Mission of destroying isis. Theres a gap between the two. Ambassador ford, isis is not something which drone strikes or f16 strikes is going to contain because the Islami
Supply to the demand. My time is about to expire. Are there other manufacturers that manufacture an equivalent airbag product that you could institute for your air bag and repair these cars that have already been recalled . Or is that just not technically an engineering wise feasible b . Its required some tests. I would suggest that you look at that. Because the sooner the cars that have already been identified are repaired, the better off youre going to be, in my opinion. With that, mr. Chairman, i yield back. Thank you very much. The chair recognizes the gentleman from kentucky. Thank you, mr. Chairman. And thank the witnesses for their testimonies today. I wish i could say i felt better about this situation now than i did when i walked into the room, but i think i feel a little bit more uncertain than i wish i did. I have a little bit of a personal his we with this issue. I was a young Senate Staffer on the Congress Committee in the early 07s when ralph nader came to the congress an
Referred to on sanctions is in the context of the additional more severe sanctions which were imposed by the United States and by europe late this summer in response to the intervention in donbass. And these should be understood as separate baskets. Vice President Biden and others have been very clear that for the United States, a prerequisite for discussing the relaxation of sanctions is full implementation of the minsk agreement to include the withdrawal of all russian fighters and heavy equipment, the restoration of ukranian control over the border monitored and the release of all prisoners. Russia has not done any of those things. To the contrary, as we have said, as recently as last week, secretary kerry pointed out that since september 5, since the signature of the minsk agreement, hundreds of russian tanks and heavy military equipment items have moved into ukrainian territory. And we know that Russian Troops have remained in donbass providing command and control to the separatis
Trained or will it be a year from march, 2016 before we have those 5,000 fighters that we send back to syria. Its 5,000 trained per year. And part of the reason is because of the vetting standards were very being careful about this. Were not sitting on our hands. Excuse me, ambassador excuse me, mr. Ambassador. Answer the question. Is it 5,000 in 2016, in march, where we hope thats our plan to have them trained by then . The training we hope will begin in march. We hope but it will take a year to train 5,000 people. Yes, thats right. So march of 2016. Then we have a plan, then we have fighters, then we send them to syria. Theres no telling what isis can do in that year and however ever months it is. Is the United States have some other Strategic Plan other than arming these folks that arent going to show up until 2016, dropping bombs, that are marginal whether theyve been successful, and helping with military aid to some of these coalition countries. Is there a Strategic Plan overall t
Plotting an attack against the states, article two still gives the president the to conduct whatever is necessary to protect the united gives me causet to be confident that we arent theing the security of United States at risk and that we will be able to come back and decision. Dependent if isis poses a threat to the United States in another country as to whether its a good idea to bring to country as well, which may involve a completely different set of factors. For johnson. I think much of this discussion underscores my primary point is we should spend a lot of time on definition. Of time defining exactly who the enemy is. Name one group, defined. So if we spend a lot of time defining a lote enemy is and spend of time finding exactly what the and then be 100 committed to the objective, anybodys hand, dont ations. Imit is is if we do that it will be easier the partners that will also be 100 committed to the exact properly defined objective. Example, the first gulf war. When the first
