Position of the v. A. Secretary comes with tremendous responsibility and commands someone who understands the sacrifices and needs of both our veterans and their families. The next secretary of the v. A. Must be willing and ready to lead the v. A. In a new direction. While im grateful for the service of both general shinseki and acting secretary sloan gibson, and thousands of dedicated employees on the ground, i believe the current state of v. A. Affairs or the affairs at v. A. Demands bold leadership and a complete transformation in the culture at the agency. The problems facing the v. A. Did not happen overnight. Solving them will not be an easy task, but despite this, i believe with the right person at the helm, a person willing to work with congress and other stakeholders, the challenges facing the v. A. Can be met and expectations exceeded. At the end of the day, we must never forget our nations veterans. The sacrifice and service to this nation is second to none. Not only does it
Infra infrastructure infrastructure, not taking care of what we have and we are not being as smart as we could be about how we use the assets that are out there today to advance mobility and get people moving again. Rose we conclude this earning with Jorge Castenada and Shannon Oneill looking at mexico today and tomorrow.

Can he get the economy to grow . Has he been so severely weakened that he wont be able to . And is he able to have a new beginning . There is nothin

Is seeking public help and thats why its put him on this list of most wanted terrorists. He now becomes the 31st person on that list. Did he get turned when he was here . What makes them think what motivated him, since he was a u. S. Citizen, to go back there .

The bare bones information thats in the on the most wanted terror list doesnt give that sort of biographical information about what turned him.
