Fortunate to have a military leader such as you serving in a time of great peril. I want i want to ask a question of you if the objective were to destroy isys, not to we cannot a great but utterly destroy what would be required militarily to accomplish that objective .

And both the administrations refuse to enforce the statute on the grounds they are constitutional power rendered that statute again person born in jerusalem commenced litigation that first went to the court three years ago. The court said no and direct the dc circuit to decided on the merits. Some some people thought the court was depriving itself an escape route. Would not be able to use the political question if they concluded it would have been desirable seem to be a lot disconcerting noises they were being forced to decide something that had a lot of Foreign Affairs and political visibility.
