Kuwait as the two jurisdictions in the gulf where additional steps could be taken. Time of the gentleman is expired. Chair now recognizes the gentleman from massachusetts, mr. Lynch. Thank you, mr. Chairman, again, mr. Secretary, thanks for your willingness to testify. I just want to make one observation. I do share the frustration that some of my colleagues across the aisle have expressed about staunching the flow of oil and degrading some of the facilities that are currently under the control of isis. But i do want to point out that, for instance, the beiji oil refinery, i dont know, about 75, maybe 150 miles north of baghdad, ive been there a couple of times.

Its a key asset, if we had gone in there

He still had a pretty strong primary challenge from an unknown professor with the coolest name ever. He appealed very strongly to the grass roots and this antiwall street sentiment.

My mother made me go to confession after that. She had no ad money. She got almost 40 of the vote. Hillary clinton does not sit well on a lead. She is her own worst enemy i

Michael Smerconish tackles the American political and news stories of the week, offering only one kind of talking points his own. The times, by the way, standing by her hire saying they understood her twitter past and understand it for what it was. We had candid conversations with sarah as part of the thorough vetting process which included a review of her social media history. She understands this rhetoric is not acceptable at the times and we are confident she will be an important voice for the Editorial Board moving forward. Interestingly, the fact that the times already knew about her tweets is significant due to another hire in february, quinn norton.
