One of the issues that does concern me is our national defense. I have washed us around the world i challenge some people. Is there any country in the world that we have a stronger relationship with today than we had six years ago . I said that, too. But i was corrected. Somebody said iran. Somebody else said to cuba. Its about that. A while back i was in egypt and they told me 98 of the threats that all the relation together with egypt have been suffered by the Foreign Policy of this president. There are good people that we can work with. There are moderate muslims.

There arent enough democrats to really that republicans can rely on to pass this over republican objections. Youve reported and others have reported the white house issuing a veto threat on this legislation. What would happen in the senate . The path in the senate is very uncertain. Mitch mcconnell hasnt given much indication on whether he feels it could pass the senate if it is scheduled and whether it could be scheduled.
