Bush, a assad government, which quickly escalated into a violent and bloody conflict. We had, theres a lot of the clashes between the, these womic fundamentalists and the syrian forces. And the feeling was that a side was, was history, that all he needed to be was put under significant pressure. And his regime would collapse. So the United States, together with their gulf air of allies doubled down, started providing a lot of assistance, monetary assistance of military equipment, of the goal, which was to get rid of a bush or our side. The Central Intelligence agency landed in syria a 3 months after we attacked libya. This was in 2011. They say arrived there with purpose of creating channels to supply weapons, to al qaeda and its affiliates. And there were many people Foreign Policy expert to do that.

Here is the divide. The republicans, of course support School Choice and a number of items. Thats important. You cant support a School Choice option and leave the Public Schools untapped. You need to make sure states have the right to republicanun run schools the way they should. There shouldnt be a regulatory hurdle that stifles programs.

That is fundamental. It is not just that the complexity of the system gives me these problems. One reason Technology Fixes just dont get me there, every time i buy more security i tend to do so in ways that are involving sacrifice of virtues. I want to spend a minute having talked about software to say a little bit about hardware because the hardware insecurities are quite, quite real as well. Youre aware of that. Easy example i can give is just people tend to think about suppl
By little you send them back as agents for their intelligent service. I think you need to have somebody who is well versed that can sit down and and look at propaganda, counter propaganda. Very important point. When we talk about the islamic state, again, you can defeat of some capabilities, but you cannot eliminate the ideology. Some places like morocco they try to encourage dialogue and train even women to discuss this issue with religions from other countries. Its a long process. I think the point that you made is a practical, a very important one. We are looking at the clock and the clock is ticking. Im going to ask general gray to make the final remarkses for todays seminars. I want to add my thanks to what i think was a great panel today and certainly many, many very fine comments. I think, again, we have to remember that, you know, we are a great country and with great people in the United States, but there are other great countries in around the world, all of them have many plu
