Internet and find themself spart, you see people who have had no training, no association with it, including americans, who go on the internet and find themself s themselves enthralled because of whatever lost souls they are or because of the violence with isil and selfradicalize and unfortunately undertake to do violence. So you see that spectrum there. You do see some effort by isil, meaning isil in syria and iraq to command and control, but its not exclusively that way. I say all this because thats very distinctly different from the al qaeda model. The al qaeda model was a very hierarchical, very clear command and control type terrorist enemy. And that meant they had discipline and it meant they could take on big things like 9 11, but it also meant that when we started to go after them they were vulnerable to attacks on the command and control structure and on their logistics structure. Isils more resilient because it is more decentralized and informal in that kind of sense. Takes a
We addressed those to director munoz and greg starr. Today agreed at the meeting to improve coordination and collaboration. At a later date in a meeting with director munoz, she developed colleagues to work with senior colleagues in d. S. We believe the coordination is improving, certainly in washington. We are not able to speak to the relationship in the field. Thank you. I want to see if i can put this in context a little bit. Ambassador hayes, i would like to ask questions from the view of the Inspector Generals office. I understand staffing attica bull increased since 2002. Is that right . Thats correct. In 2009 there was bipartisan support for a drastic increase in troops and civilian personnel. They commonly called that a surge. Construction contracts. I would like to understand how state plans to adapt to such changes. Explaining that the total number of american personnel working for the americans in 2008 to a peak of more than 1340 in fiscal year 2012. Is that all correct . Is
Discuss the future of television technology. A Government Accountability Office Report has found that construction of a new u. S. Embassy in kabul afghanistan, has gone 27 overbudget. Gao and state Department Officials testified about the project at a House Oversight committee hearing. Republican Jason Chaffetz chairs this three and a half hour hearing. Committee on oversight and government reform will come to order. I appreciate you being here as we have a hearing today regarding the Construction Costs and delays of the United States embassy in kabul, afghanistan. The chair is authorized to declare a recess at any time. I appreciate you being here. This is an important topic. We have so Many Americans who have given their lives in afghanistan, who have sacrificed away from their families to serve the United States of america and our interests there.

Maybe the schools can reopen in some places and that kind of thing. Just one more question and my time is short. We have got a lot of stock in edwards and many of us got to know him and yet we didnt support him. Trucks that were supposed to be delivered were delivered months late. I mean it was almost like, i dont even want to use the word because
