There is no military solution to this problem. That is misleading. The real problem is will achieve nothing. Changing those conditions is what the administration is consistently failed to do. Instead it is assumed our nation could withdraw from the middle east and avoid the conflict. On those occasions where the administration has felt compelled to respond after the use of chemical weapons or with the rise of isil, and now amid the ii, the administration has address the symptoms of the problem rather than the problem itself and made that problem worse. There no clearer example than this than the syrian train and equip program. The fighters can only fight isil, not assaults forces which have slaughtered more syrians then isil has. The Administration Made no commitment until only recently to provide these forces with any meaningful military support was they returned to syria. After millions of dollars and months of effort the Program Failed to come to the department original expectations
Mr. Mccain none of the moderate of forces have come under attack from russia . Secretary carter not in our title x program. Mr. Mccain that is fascinating. Secretary carter let me be clear, chairman, the russians attackde assad do moderate forces. One of the reasons why the russian approach is so mr. Mccain are we going to train these young people . Of a going to send them into syria to fight . Are going to protect them . Anyone we send in an train, we are going to protect from russian air attacks. Secretary carter we have an obligation to do that and we have made that clear right from the beginning. Mr. Mccain we havent done it. We havent done it. I promise you the have. You will have to correct the record. And formerronius secretary kade, and now we understand secretary clinton, have all stated that they think we should stop the barrel bombing and that we should train and equip. Zones should have nofly or aircraft exclusionary zones. As complicated as it is, we were able to do northe
Calls for more protests but we are to blame for Climate Change. But we hold the key to fixing it. The findings of a landmark report into our ever changing world. We begin with the battle against fighters against the Islamic State of iraq and levant or i. S. I. L. The peshawar join the fighters in kobane. They have been sent to help syrian kurds stopped armed group. And in Northern Iraq, a town told by kurds i. S. I. L. Is making attacks to try to win it back. Well have reports in a moment.

On the ground because of the lack luster and embarrassing of iraqi troops in the face of islamic face militants and democrats on the community to side with the Administration Policy of training and assisting and advising the iraqi forces stiffening them but keeping u. S. Forces out of any sort of Ground Combat role. What you will hear probably from the secretary is that there is no quick fix in the fight against i. S. I. L.

The order came from our leader, ayman al zawahri. 2011 was involved in the initial planning of the attacks. The u. S. Had accused him of recruiting western targets to attack western targets. The new al qaeda video is seen by some as nothing more than propaganda. This analyst says he has a hard time believing al qaedas statements. Wouldnt have taken this long to organize this type of attack. This is one of the reasons im skeptical. Im also skeptical because these two brothe
