And we are trying to build that partner in terms of a moderate syrian force and local forces from the region that can with our air power and other kinds of assistance, inflict defeat on isis and then make it a lasting defeat. Thats how i would characterize what i see. Im obviously not in the councils of comfort. Thats what i infer. When you were in my office we talked about i having just returned from ukraine. When i first walked in senator heinrich was talking about lithuania. Their concern was that all of our attention seemed to be in that part of the world concentrated on i crane. Its true. Weve never had i happened to be there when they had their election for the first time in 96 years. They dont have a communist in their government in the ukraine. We have that problem at the same time as the others youre addressing. What do you think about our european strength as it is right now . Are we adequate . Are we becoming inade
