Thanks for the question. I think that the appropriate way to do this is pretty much whats being done right now actually, and such using airstrikes to limit the freedom of movement and the ability to move oil and smuggle it as easily as isil was able to be for the airstrikes started. Meanwhile, buying time for an advice and assist effort and Capacity Building effort to try to stand up in some cases local Security Forces or the iraqi army to conduct effective operations is insulated to push isil back from the territory is controlling. I appreciate that, i dont mean to cut you off but from 20032011 we spent 24 billion, the United States taxpayer spent 24 billion training 938,000 iraqis how to fight. And to equip them, train them. And who we have 30,000 sunni that are over running the country. As isis gets stronger and st ....
And hope it is not a hook. It is meant to be nice. I am enormously impressed. Two points. Your operators dont like lawyers. I used to be part of the aba and the most impressive members were the generals and the world doesnt know it. The world thinks of the United States as a colossus, a bit of a road. Any idea how long bound we are . Maybe we should be talking about that. I tried to take opportunities to speak at places and to share. We care passionately about the law. We care passionately about doing the right thing. I dont see a lot of lawyers saying get away from something wrong. It is not what we do. Our job is to say to the commander, you cant do this but here is another way to do it that is legal, ethical and moral. We are not ethical and moral, advisers in a sense but we have that perspective. My title is legal counsel. I think i have a role to play in giving legal advice but also as a counselor so i take that seriously and ....

Maximum outcome. So this lady here with the glasses, and after her well go to the gentleman. Hi im teresa wilmerhutchins, and im at the center for International Student dees studies for maryland. Given all the action in uukraine, what are your directions for u. S. Policy . I have some recommendations. I think we should support ukraine very strongly financially, i think we should support ukraine very strongly militarily. I think the International Community should do both of those things, those of us who know better about the financial problems ukraine faces. So we ought to be their support. We should also defend and beef up the defenses in the nato nations that border russia. So thats an important if were trying to deter the russians from doing what theyve been doing, that is, first invading crimea and then invading the southeastern part of ukraine and we dont ....
Battle of tal afar. Continuing on to serve in afghanistan afghanistan. And now h. R. , im going to butcher your title. So ill let you give it to me directly. Its Deputy Commander general for training and doctrine command for futures. And then the clunky long title is the Army Capabilities integration center. Im glad i didnt try to memorize that. Arcic. But what h. R. Is really that quite extraordinary combination of thinker and great military leader. There arent that many in our history. There are a few people like general jack galvin but its very few. So were really privileged i think to have somebody with us who has an extraordinarily distinguished record of command including command in combat. With an equally distinguished record as a thinker. He was also i should have mentioned up front a senior fellow at the iiss and remains affiliated with iiss as well. Its wonderf ....
