Departmenthe defense may underestimate the critical nature of the refugee crisis. This is not like iran, iraq, a war that went on for many years. This is impacting europe right now. It is a humanitarian crisis. It is being exploited by everyone else in the middle east that would like to come to europe. Europe is facing what one top diplomat told me was the greatest crisis since world war ii. I think weve got to think about get, these safe sounds, and busy these safe zones, and get busy on it. It may have to have some of our people at risk to try to protect those areas, but it wouldnt take a lot. You and i talked about it. Can we get moving on this . How many more millions have to lineup in areas before we act . Just morally, my judgment is that europe needs to know there is a place for these refugees to go other than to flee the entire region.

Please join me everybody for same thank you for a remark

I would suggest that the Government Fund these Research Projects like these drive through por holes that we could see that could detect nur rons at the same time. Were invested at my particular board working with dndo and a company to develop a state of the art detection system in the port of boston. There is definitely money needed to fund the programs. They are a federally mandated system. Dr. Flint is willing to put 10 to 15 on the container. We are looking to spend 3. 5 billion for a Missile Defense system for the east coast to deal with your rainian iran nuclear weapons, which presumably arent going to be available for some decades.
