At least this is what i understand, from the iraqis, that they were trying to deal with in order to express that. Can you imagine how effective it would have been with something, you know, a platform that could really delivery something more than a hellfire . I also just want to correct the record. When the request did come in may, formal request for direct air support, that request never went up as being denied. Its under active consideration. Theres never been a denial. Thats like saying if i could interrupt you. I remember Elliott Engel making the point three years ago about support for the Free Syrian Army when there were

On october 53 new plants in iraq in syria pledged allegiance to isis, which tells us that the tribes so far do not seem to be betting on the United States or its allies.

Why is that happening . [shouting] absolutely no answer to the question of whether there should be a proper inquiry into the welsh nhs. I will tell him what is happening in the english nhs for which this government is responsible. 1. 3 million more outpatients being treated. 6. 4 million more outpatients appointments. 2500 more nurses, a thousand more doctors, a record we can be proud of. Why . Because we invented in the nhs in england. They cut the nhs in wales. Ed miliband. Everyone can see what the Prime Ministers doing but after five years in office he cant defend his record on the nhs in england. Every time he mentions wales we know he is running scared on the nhs in england. Now, in england we have the highest waiting list or six years, the
Thrawtheam at his feet and say what good are these . Theyre all broken promises. So we have to reestablish the leverage but how do we do that when were not projecting that not there . Were not taking vienna, were not doing it 100 . Were simply doing air strikes at night or against targets of opportunity as opposed to having a concerted effort to at this point, youre not going to take mosul with peshmerga and u. S. Air strikes. You have to take mosul with the sunnis that are in mosul. But how do you get them, how does the u. S. Get them to fight . Absent a protracted commitment without an end date, youre not going to. The Iraqi Government theres so much iranian influence in the Iraqi Government rightnow.
