These things take time because we work with indigenous forces. We are using Iraqi Security forces to conduct the ground operations. As you pointed out, we have also said that you cannot do this with just power alone, and has to be a complement of fires and maneuver forces on the ground. Our approach is to generate those forces by training and equipping Iraqi Security forces. We are as we have halted isils advance into iraq we started the business of training and equipping new Iraqi Security forces so that they will have the ability to train and take back their borders and secure their sovereign spaces. Roger wicker is there any prospect of saudi forces being there in numbers that will be significant . Uae, jordanian forces, to have a police force and not much else. General austin they all have some capability. Not all of them have volunteered to come forward and put boots on the ground in iraq. Iraq needs to want to be able to take that on and take those forces in, but this point, as y
Why was the lusitania allowed to enter the sea without escort . Without the kind of detailed warning that could have been provided but was not . This has led to some interesting speculation if the ship was set up for attack by churchill or someone . It is interesting. I found no smoking memo. Believe me, i would have found a smoking memo if it existed. Lets let the lusitania go into the sea because we want to get something. Nothing like that exists. Sunday night on cspans q a.

What has he ran what has iran been doing in yemen . Is it not true it is prompting the saudis and others to engage in this . Certainly iran has been enabling the activity as they have done what they have done. I would go further to say irans desire is to hedge in this region. Mrs. Fischer meaning regional domination .
