Of this government. Mr. Ahmadinejad managed to isolate iran diplomatically, and mr. Rouhani is in reality bringing iran out of diplomatic isolation. So, yes, they are succeeding, and the western media is not paying attention. They should. They should, to begin with, start reading what mr. Rouhani has said all over the years. Back in 1999, iran, you know, the Islamic Republic, experienced its most serious political unrest. That was the Tehran University unrest which spread to the entire country. Which politician do you think it was that went to the public and supported the revolutionary guard, and the Police Suppression of the students movement. It was mr. Rouhani. Mr. Rouhani systematically called the students foreign agents. Mr. Rou manny systematically at the extreme National Security council was banning newspapers. And now, people are expecting that mr. Rouhani, of all the people, is going to allow freedom of the press . Why . Why . This is what i believe is the mistake of the weste

We want to be able to see how that works. Seven people have received zmap as part of a compassionate use effort, including those first individuals we heard about who were airlifted to emory hospital in georgia. We really dont know with just seven individuals treated whether this works and individuals are not. Those were the only seven doses that existed trade existed. For technical reasons, thats not trivial. These antibodies are developed in a tobacco leaf program. That is how the factory is put together. Turndoesnt necessarily into something were you turn the crank and you have lots of it. There are two or three other therapeutics that are also potentially promising, but none of them have been in human trials. We have a big push as well. As far as nih, we did not receive additional dollars. That goes through to december 11. Clearly whatever happens after hope for additional dollars. This will cost a lot of money. We are talking about ebola and other topics here with the National Inst
Quickly. If krg is under threat, would go ahead. This is a great question. What you are hearing in the press my answer to you is no. This is not surprising. This is interesting. Some of the kurdish leaders, they just made these statements in the press, we are very disappointed that you didnt defend us against isil. But nonetheless, you know, this is a bit surprising.

Does that mean occur urkey will be involved in terms of reconnaissance . Certainly. Launching a missile against isil is the same type of pressures that turkey wo
Budget deficit, 38 , education, 31 . Immigration was at 14 . The beheadings were enforcing mechanism. Congress planned to be in session only 12 days after the summer legislative recess. The beheadings compressed the calendar in terms what the president can do and what congress wanted to do. What Congress Really wanted to do was pass a shortterm extension of the budget and then get out of town and focus on the elections. I would take a little the difference with rachels point. The congress does not want to take tough votes is not a new concept. Districts are more gerrymandered than before. If you look back at lincolns time, they avoided votes because it was too politically difficult than and it has not changed since. Before we go further, we will have to have a debate about who we are actually fighting. Even an important citizen might be very confused without a scorecard of who are the threats. I would like to bring tim starks in here. You had clapper and the Intelligence Committee brie
