Permeate over time if we dont do something about it now. So it doesnt help us to just kind of wait to do something. Now, when i describe, you know, in what i recommended about, you know the combination of elements of National Power i mean, you just look at the Information Campaign that is being waged not by just isis, but by alqaeda writ large and the way that theyre able to do it the sophistication that theyre able to do it, i mean, that campaign alone the military has some little bits and pieces of trying to counter that on a tactical battlefield, but there has to be a broader imagination that this country working with partners and working with some of these, you know, these socalled moderate nations. And i say that in my statement about we have partners out there and, you know weve got to really be honest with ourselves about some of these partners. [inaudible] we cant continue to fund and do all these kinds of things and have some of these nations sit at the table with the United S
Islamic state of iraq in the levant, and on page 15 it says we reject the lie that america and its allies are at war with islam. I would disagree with the first statement, i dont think were leading, but i would agree with the second statement, that we are not at war with all of islam. We are at war with radical islam and islamic extremism. Yet nowhere in the strategy does that term appear. In fact, the only two times the word islam appears are in the two instances i just mentioned. Yet Climate Change appears 19 times. I would ask do you think the National Security strategy has enough specificity to adequately inform the documents of the National Defense strategy and the National Military strategy to actually have a positive impact on executing a strategy for degrading and ultimately defeating isil . And secondly dr. Lynch, i would ask in your statement about the momentum of isil being halted. Just within the last 24 hours, theyre knocking on the door of the al Assad Air Base where we h
Learned a really ugly lesson in over 10 years ago now. So you have to be able to do that. Thank you. Mr. Chairman, i yield back. Mr. Cooper. Hes not here. Ms. Graham. First, thank you very much for being here this morning. Detached a bit on other terrorist groups in the region. Could you please provide an update on hezbollah . Thank you. You guys can talk. I mean hezbollah is an iranian backed group. They are, i believe were still designating them as a terrorist organization, our state department. Hezbollah is deeply involved in syria. They are fighting in syria members of hezbollah are fighting and they are actually leading and doing some of these sort of what i would call sort of special operations Type Training of some of the syrian forces. Hezbollah is involved in yemen. Hezbollah certainly involved in lebanon and some of the disruption of things in that particular country. And hezbollah is involved in iraq as well. So members of hezbollah are in fact inside iraq fighting with what
Okay. Now the fun part. Where . Right here, governor. Have a seat for a second. Raise your hand. Okay. Holler it out loud. Thank you for your service. As an inventor, serial entrepreneur and writer, i believe ill come up with a solution to the immigration problem. Can i hand this to you . Sure. And tell me what you think. If we eliminate the magnet that the problem resolves itself. Its very simple. Costs zero dollars and will resolve itself very easily. Thank you. Lets talk about this issue just a second, if you will. What i happen to see as a that may help a bit right there. The point with this is to have this this country has got to be secure. When you look at the constitution, the constitution tells us a few things that the federal government is supposed to do. Stand a Strong Military and secure our borders are two of the most important things enumerated in the constitution. And weve got to get back.

But because we have so much exposure to the oceans the atlantic on the east, the gulf of mexico on the west we are particularly subject to Climate Change that the earth is heating up. Now, why is the earth heating up . Well, there is the effect known as the greenhouse effect, and what this is, if you put certain gases into the atmosphere that are as a result of manmade efforts so, when we burn things like oil and coal and we dont scrub out a lot of the stuff, it goes into the atmosphere well, one of the things that goes into the atmosphere is Carbon Dioxide. And what Carbon Dioxide does is it goes up into the upper atmosphere, and it forms this greenhouse effect by creating an invisible shield that what happens when the sun rays come and strike the earth at daylight, those rays then reflect off the earths surface, an
