Yes. Why is the president not considering Ground Troops at this point that the administration has had troops there, why is that not on the table . Because we dont believe that thats the approach that we should take in this case. We would agree with senator mccain who made that point today that that was his view. What the president was referring to was the question about contemplating air strikes. I have been saying, ultimately the challenge posed by a group like isil has to be met by the iraqy government and iraqy Security Forces. They can be assisted like they have and are being by the United States and other partners. We will review requests for further assistance and other kinds of assistance very closey and obviously in this Current Situation very quickly. Ultimately iraqs future will be decided by the ability of iraqs political leaders to come together in a spirit of unity to deal with all of the challenges that a nation like iraq faces in building its future and specifically in r
Grown in yemen, for example, and as the core leadership and core al qaeda in that regions that been decimated. Discussed that. He wasnt brennan when here and over at the c. I. A. Has talked about it and that is a up front we are very about. But i dont think you can argue that when it comes to al qaeda in afghanistan, pakistan that the tragedy going after core al qaeda leadership has not been effectively prosecuted. It more dangerous to have an al qaeda lippinged group iraqi cities major than have them in the mountains pakistan . Well, i guess i would have to that the most severe military attack on the United States in our lifetimes occurred organized and ordered out of afghanistan and pakistan by core al qaeda.

At the end of the day, egyptian media was anchored on opinionated content. Today, we are back to this opinionated content. Arguably, the significant difference is that the impositions are no longer from the hierarchical tiers at the top. That applies to the state media. I cannot imagine the state broadcasting has reached a level of liberty from its own structural entrenchment that you could criticize the military on channel one or now tv openly. We have not seen it happen.
