carla is living with metastatic breast cancer, which is breast cancer that has spread to other parts of her body. she s also taking prescription ibrance with an aromatase inhibitor, which is for postmenopausal women with hormone receptor-positive her2- metastatic breast cancer as the first hormonal based therapy. ibrance plus letrozole was significantly more effective at delaying disease progression versus letrozole. patients taking ibrance can develop low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infections that can lead to death. before taking ibrance, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection, liver or kidney problems, are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include low red blood cell and low platelet counts, infections, tiredness, nausea, sore mouth, abnormalities in liver blood tests, diarrhea, hair thinning or loss, vomiting, rash, and loss of appetite. carla calls it her new normal because a lot has change
evening, making international headlines for comments he made about american troops in iraq. the president saying he wants to keep a military presence in iraq in part to, quote, watch iran? reporter: that s right, david. the president has long said he wants to bring americans home from iraq, as he does in afghanistan, and now he says, however, that a small contingent could remain inside iraq to watch iran and the rest of the region. the state department, however, says the mission hasn t changed, it s to go after isis. and the government of iraq said he hadn t asked permission. the prime minister saying, do not pursue your own priorities, we live here. david? terry moran tonight. terry, thank you. and, of course, abc news and our powerhouse political team will have live coverage of the president s state of the union address, and, of course, the democratic response. that s tomorrow night, 9:00 p.m. eastern, right here. but in the meantime tonight, we move onto the other news, and
let s actually play part of his speech that director wray gave back in september. we need to remind the audience, christopher wray is not an obama holdover. right. he was selected by president trump. he is a trump guy. take a listen. our mission is simple but profound. to protect the american people and uphold the constitution. that mission hasn t changed, and it won t change, not as long as i have anything to say about it. we re going to abide by the rule of law and our core values. we re going to follow the facts independently, no matter where they lead and no matter who likes it. so besides possibly regretting that he took this job, christopher wray is a law enforcement kind of guy. i actually turn to you, ari. if christopher wray is saying, no way, jose, not just democrats, doesn t this clearly look that it is entirely
the constitution, which he is not. no man is above the law. to try to tear down a group of people who are literally trying to determine if there are spies and collaborators in either the white house or the trump campaign, is as reckless as it possibly can be. these people may have to understand, you know, the law does not indiscriminate here. if they turn out to have been carrying out material conspiracy to keep this information away from the american public because they want to protect the president, they, too, can be prosecuted. why paul ryan is not the point man to clear this up and make sure congress s reputation is clean is beyond me. last point, ari? trey gowdy is going home. the last point is, this is not about carter page. this is not about a quote, unquote, memo, which was drafted for partisan purposes. this is about one of the last people overseeing the russia probe that donald trump hasn t
and so that mission hasn t changed. now, when those forces find themselves in a firefight like they did in this ambush situation, of course, you re involved in combat operations, but that s not the stated mission and they re clearly not seeking that on a day to day basis. there are occasional drone strikes, but that doesn t mean the forces on the ground are going out looking for these sorts of fights. shortly before this attack, there s another african nation, chad, which withdrew its troops from niger, and this happened. this attack happened after the chadian officials complained ungt their country being added to the trump administration travel ban. is there any possibility that the chadian withdrawal contributed to a more dangerous climate for americans in niger or are those unrelated? it s really difficult to say. that requires much deeper reflection and insight into what was going on between the chadians and our forces there. i can say that conditions on the ground are critical
