the negotiation new negotiations with the united states and then the united states again refuses to lift the sanctions large the same they did to north korea everything would be even worse than the disease so yes from one point of view we can see that those initiatives have failed by i can see the signs of new initiative in place i mean starting to diplomacy extract from inside the region talking about the recent signs of you know reeling this for target between for talks between iran and saudi arabia expressed fiberboard to both sides president trump and his secretary of state mike dante are awesome can you talk about toughness as the main feature of their foreign policy especially the 78 iran why do you think they left those attacks on that on the facilities that acts that they blame squarely on iran without any. response that would demonstrate that toughness and all about the sanctions against the central bank but that i think you would agree that compared to the magnitude of the charge that there are actually took out those facilities and this is minuscule why do you think they.

states, the interests and values of the united states and our allies and partners. do you believe that this is the philosophy with which the president approaches our policy toward russia? >> he's nominated me to be his ambassador, senator. i believe that is the -- i would be fulfilling the president's desires with respect to russia if i pursued that policy that i vlade out. >> as you prepare to take on this engagement, can you explain whether or not you were briefed on president trump's two-hour private meeting with president putin in july of 2018? >> whether i was briefed after the meeting? >> yes. or any time between then and now as you prepare to take on -- >> i meant not before the meeting but after the meeting, the results of the meeting. yeah. i've been briefed by the secretary of state and national security advisor to the president and the three -- two principal items i was charged with coming out of that meet wrg he two dialogues they now lead on counterterrorism and our strategic security talks with the russians. there was a third request from president put

in chief of the united states of america, the united states military. it's a sacred duty. it's not something that is done or looked at in a whim and so i hope you understand. i think it's important that i make a serious speech. it's going to take 25 minutes for me to do it about american foreign policy and why i am so concerned about our security and the deployment of the might of the united states military. you know, the power to deploy the might of the most powerful military in the history of the world and that's not hyperbole, in the history of the world, there have never been -- never been a greater, more confident warriors or a larger, more powerful military than we've had. it's not an ego booster. it's not a ratings booster. you take an oath of office to swear responsibility a to our troops and their families and the only sacred obligation we have, and the only sacred one is to protect those we send to war, care for them when they come home and care for their families when they're gone. they risk their lives for their government. and that's why we

states and i say united states instead of america because with south america and north america. we have been here in a be demonstrated and recognized and people can actually go and find her history and the national museum for latinos. i think it's a very important part. especially today by others, today we need is very desperately. and just the announcement itself would go a long way because the only way that we can erase racism is my understanding and my knowledge and this is what the latino museum would do it would create the understanding and knowledge in the history of people can go to and speak for themselves. we are not making it up. it is there and they can find it. >> thank you. they can monitor. >> i think the witnesses so much for the valuable money and for coming and traveling here and be with us today, your voices are so important in a very grateful that you are in this committee room. the members of the committee may have additional questions for all of you and we will ask you to respond to these in writing. under committee role 30 members must submit witness questi

states. , am not willing to accept that especially because what the united states achieved in fighting the islamic state was relatively low-cost. this was not a major invasion of the middle east. this was a limited deployment of special operations forces to take down the terrific enemy. what was one of the most successful and effective operations with a partner force in the history of the united states military, so we need to give the defense department credit for doing what it did so well and with relatively little cost, and ask the questions about what kind of threats we are willing to accept. host: if isis is able to reorganize, where do they fight and who do they fight in the middle east? guest: isis is reorganizing. we released a paper earlier this year that demonstrated how isis has been on a path to resurgence before the american withdrawal from syria. this is not an enemy that needs to regroup. this is an enemy that is already fighting, on the upswing, and will accelerate that's resurgence if it is able to get the presidents out -- prisoners out. isis will fight basically every

states he's mainly concerned about his rivals inside the united states more than more than he cares about russia and about iran or about the syrian the syrian conflict so this is something that is really important that the drug understand on the other hand when we talk about the as a done up process i totally agree that the americans seem they have already lost i think in syria and what sense and the sense that the no longer controls the political process and see the longer important factor in this conflict the moment they leave the moment they leave they will not be able to have any leverage over the. that the parties inside syria over the political process is will go mainly to the as a process to the thrower of the as a ton of process in russia as we said before russia iran and turkey well mr campbell and we have to take a very short break now but even. back in just a few moments stay tuned. facebook and google started with a great idea and great ideals unfortunately there was also a very dark side. they are constructing a profile of you and that profile is real it's detailed and

the united states the united states has set a hard-line towards eroding u.n. resolutions on the international legal framework of the middle east peace process. it suggests waiting for some sort of deal of the century. meanwhile, it's taking unilateral decisions on jerusalem and the golan heights. the two state solution to the palestinian issue, which is essential for providing security for israel and the whole region is in danger. apparently, when nato members were bombing libya, blatantly violating united security council resolutions, they were also guided by the logic of the rules based order. it resulted in the destruction of libyan statehood. the international community is still untangling the disastrous repercussions of nato's adventure with african countries affected the most. there is still a hidden agenda and the countering -- in the countering terrorism, despite the universally binding security council decisions on lifting -- listing terrorist organizations. some countries made it a rule to terroristsshield from punishment and to even work with them o

same page with the united states but. china is that kind of economic war with the united states russia is experiencing one of its worst periods of relations with the united states so everything is different that's political support with at least currency some kinds of stay really to the fore for the current situation so that you don't can build on that and continue to. translate it into more countries measures in terms of economic benefits mr is that we have to take a short break now we'll be back in just a few moments stay tuned. in the age of trump what has happened to journalistic standards and competence in the media not long ago it was generally agreed that politics was the art of the possible no one news near to must prevail and all others must be vanquished the state of affairs to serve the public interest. welcome back to worlds apart with time and that is as easy as system professor for a general studies that show he had been hashed to university in tech crunch that there is a day before the break you mentioned t

united states, mike pence. one week ago turkish forces crossing into syria. president trump took a decisive action to call on turkish forces to stand down and the violence, agreed to negotiations. today i am proud to report, thanks to the strong leadership of president trump and the strong relationship between president erdogan and turkey and the united states of america. today the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease-fire in syria. turkish's side will pause operation peace spring in order to allow for the withdrawal of wide pg forces from the safe zone for 120 hours. all military operation will be paused. an operation peace spring will be halted entirely on completion of withdraw. our administration had been in contact with syria defense forces and we have begun to facilitate of their safe withdrawal nearly 20 miles safe zone area, south of the turkish border in syria. also includes in an agreement by turkey to engage in no military action against the community of cabani and in addition the united s

oh, there's more. 21 united states trustees. exactly 21 united states trustees. congress has devoted a lot of attention to figuring out what the structure of the department of justice looks like. if you put all of those positions together, they account for a tiny, tiny fraction of the more than 100,000 people who work for the united states department of justice. that's because the vast majority of the people who work for the department of justice are not officers of the united states within the meaning of the appointments clause. they are employees. their appointments are not controlled by the appointments clause. congress can pick whatever mode of appointment is necessary and proper for carrying into execution government powers, and their positions do not acquire the specific statutory authorization of established by law that is necessary for officers. for those people, the 99000, 50 or whatever of the rest of them, it suffices to provide, as congress has, not just for the department of justice, but for every federal agency that they may employ such numbers empl

iraq informed the united states or least they signaled to the united states last year when president trump suggested we would relocate u.s. forces from syria to iraq, to counter isis in syria, iraq he officials said that's a nonstarter. it's a goodd happen, and we're seeing that play out. look, i thought a number of briefings from senior pentagon officials, much of it is classified. i want to go into detail of it but the idea of withdrawing all of our troops in syria really provides a wide opening for reemergence of isis. as has been publicly stated, u.s. forces moved to syria. will be a small footprint. we werea. beginning to her for e first time to protect oilfields that force needsne to be there o counter in the reemergence of isis. the question will be who will be our local partner, are the kurds going to step up in partnership with the united states? a b they will but it's less likely today than it was in the past. i don't anticipate we will have u.s. forces in iraq other than those who are training and advising iraqis on their in total problems. i don't think we'll have many if

in the past the united states, the u.s. policy sought to whether investing in the situations or through regular government contact. these things are not there anymore. the president is the key figure. and you would think this should make things easier because you're dealing with one man. but 30 is not saudi arabia or egypt, despite centralization of power and authoritarianism it's public opinion and election still matters in turkey. you're dealing with the public that is anti-american. they think the u.s. is in decline and become irrelevant. so you combine that very anti-american public opinion with a very personalized system in which there is no one that can put the brakes on his worst instincts. so you get turkey where the worldview and domestic electoral consideration becomes decisive and foreign policymaking. in the second thing i want to talk about is the change in turkish military. the turkish military has been an asset in this relationship. and despite the marginal progress for, it's always been very tornado for the

that x the united states. it is a very significant increase even though many countries still are nowhere close to 2 percent and don't have a path to get to it by 2024. implicitly, if we are allowing nato members not to live up to that commitment, while we are spending or 4 percent of our gdp on global defense, we are subsidy sizing european welfare systems. it's a very hard case to make to the american people. all were seeing to others is if you believe in your own self defense, live up to the commit you voluntarily made. i remember one european leader at the natole summit in 2018 sad we were trying to make up move up and get closer the 2 percent of the gdp that our economy is growing so fast is hard to get there because 2 percent now is thee higher currency figure. steve got to cut her some slack. it's a statement we are staying were doing so well economically that we can't afford to defend ourselves. that's not acceptable. i would say to korea and japan, i thank there will be in there should be a rebalancing

states defense secretary who said that the united states has not abandoned the kurds and that in fact the u.s. relationship with turkey is suffering at the moment because of what's going on in. northern syria the news hour is coming up in 25 minutes time on al-jazeera analysis of this story and the rest of the day's news when we see you next. should foreign firms mind their own business over china's politics they coming under pressure from beijing for making political comments it considers sensitive some have had to apologize for voicing sympathy with hong kong protesters or face the consequences so where does that leave freedom of speech this is inside story. hello and welcome to the program i'm peter davi china has long been sensitive about what's that at home and controls everything that could affect its image now foreign business is a feeling the heat china's message is watch what you say if you want to do business here or pay the price and that could prove costly for many companies particularly from the united states that do rely on the chinese market they've been vulnerable to b

the united states, the culture of the u.s. had a very fine look at business, at making money, at creating opportunities throughout its history. one of the things that our exhibition does is argues big ideas. for thinking about the mentality and what drives people. that is the notions of opportunity, innovation, competition and common good. these are the heartfelt bases of the people of the united states. it separates them from many other countries. that notion of opportunity is really, at a part, american capitalism. the notion of common good is really american democracy. it really pushes for independence, for liberty, leave me alone, those great things are felt in that notion of democracy. but also opportunity. the chance to make money and do things. susan: one of the items that we want to show people from that period is the teapot. how would this have been used in society at that time? peter: this is just a wonderful piece on so many different levels. this is the english actually selling the fact that they are in trouble. th

united states why do you keep arming the why p.g. and syria why do you keep cooperating and using them as your allies on the ground so yes we have to wait to see what happens when the u.s. delegation led by led by the vice president arrives in and court tomorrow for more talks with turkish officials already the united states has slack. sanctions and we heard the u.s. ambassador to the united nations a short while ago reiterate what the united states wants it wants a ceasefire but the message from from the turks is that no there will be no cease fire and then just one more question for you before we let you get out of the rain just bring us right up to speed with what's happening on the ground in the turkish military operation and what kind of resistance are they facing. they're facing stiff resistance in the border town of ras al-ain the battle is entering its 2nd week the kurdish led the syrian democratic forces have an advantage they have tunnels they have trenches so it's quite difficult for the advancing forces to take ground in

and france in addition to the united states. that there are ten other members of the un security council. that is the lawmaking body. many contentious negotiations happened within the security council with those permanent five ambassadors. so i negotiated very strong sanctions with north korea and those imposed on iran in 2010 were so powerful they led ultimately iran to come to the negotiating table and that's how we ended up with the iran nuclear deal. it's very challenging and intense environment but in order to succeed you have to relate you cannot just treat them as foils. i used to joke but it isn't inaccurate what i was ambassador spent more time with those p5 ambassadors than i did with my husband who remained in washington. that intense relationship for better or worse that his friends and adversaries but that relationship made all the difference. so interestingly to be involved in the intensive love-hate relationship with the russian ambassador. he was very experienced and had been there for years before and was incred

now the united states is questioning the future of the new start treaty. they are refusing to ratify the comprehensive test ban treaty. it has lowered, the united states has lowered the threshold for the use of nuclear weapons. the united states is setting a course towards transforming cyberspace into an arena for military confrontation in order to prevent further escalation of tensions russia proposed several initiative to president putin announced the decision not to the point shorter range missiles in europe. the americans as refrain from doing so as well. we call on the united states and a moratoriumsuch and repeatedly suggested to washington that we start negations on understanding the new start treaty, together with china we support the harmonization of a legally binding document and the prevention of an arms race in outer space. so far the reaction of the united states and its allies has not been encouraging. we are alarmed by the prolonged lack of any answer to our proposal made to american colleagues a year ago to adopt a high level russian-americ

the united states has had a hard line to the eroding u.n. resolutions on the international framework of the middle east process. it is waiting for some sort of deal of the century. meanwhile, it is taking unilateral decisions on jerusalem. -- two stateo solution to the palestinian issue. providing security for israel and the region is in danger. when nato members were bombing thea, blatantly violating security council resolution, they were guided by the counselor of their rules -- their counsel of their rules-based order. the international community is still untangling the disastrous repercussions of the nato adventure with african countries affected the most. hidden agendas in and countering terrorism. despite the universally binding security council decisions on listing terrorist organizations, some countries made it a rule to shield terrorists from punishment and to work with them on the ground as it is happening in afghanistan, libya, and syria. the united states has been saying out loud that -- is a rather moderate structure with which

what we need right now in the united states is not band-aids on the bullet hole that is the united states of america and in our children and in the future of our country, we need an absolute major -- we need -- we essentially need a system of blocking that and actually stopping the bleed in the first place. we need a system and a plan that isn't just universal background checks and then we'll see if we can get that, and then we'll go and try doing an extremist protection. we need a civil rights act for violence and white nationalism to be stopped in the united states. >> and david, i'm just looking at a september npr pbs news hour marist poll where it was asked about requiring individuals to obtain a license before purchasing a gun. it does show 72% of americans in favor of that. it's even a majority of people who identify themselves as republicans. david, good to talk to you, thank you. >> yes, thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> my pleasure. >> david hogg is a cofounder of march for our lives and a parkland shooting survivor. >>> she's been an outspoken advocate for impeachment and n

in the united states of america. the today the united states and turkey have agreed to a cease fire in syria. the turkish side will pause operation peace spring in order to allow for the withdrawal of why p.g. forces from the safe zone. for $120.00 all military operations under operation piece spring will be pause in operation peace spring will be halted entirely on completion of the withdrawal. our ministration has already been in contact. with syrian defense forces and we have already begun to facilitate their safe withdrawal from the nearly 20 mile wide safe zone area south of the turkish border in syria. let me say this also includes an agreement by turkey to engage in no military action against the community. and in addition. the united states and turkey have both mutually committed. to a peaceful resolution and future for the safe zone working on an international basis to ensure that peace and security defines this border region of syria in addition to the settlement today with the ceasefire turkey in the unite

people can enter the united states. different data have shown we have already lost billions of dollars, and that hurts big and small businesses. >> thank you. >> the gentleman from new york is recognized for five minutes. >> thank you to all the witnesses for being here, especially the stories of people impacted. today's hearing is always helpful. the man from new york, for the new yorker. i've been giving you the assumption you are a great guy, have a great wife, have two beautiful, amazing kids, and the goal is to pursue the american dream and escape conditions in yemen, which we know here in america, we may not know to the extent your family does back in yemen, but it is a really bad situation back there. we do know that here in the u.s. that you might not take comfort in, because the ultimate goal is for you to be with your family. that is what you want. you is what you would make happy, nothing short of that. what is interesting as i hear your story, and as a ranking member of the investigation subcommittee, we hav

of the way the united states treats them, but because of what they observe the united states treating others and so the kurds around the world and maybe the colombians have a better track record and it's very, very few. the kurds have a tremendously strong track record of working with the united states to effectively accomplish our mutual counter terrorism goals now in multiple countries and we are potentially leaving them to die, and that will resonate long and wide and well beyond the kurdish experience. the russia and china just to go -- when i laid out what our interests are in the middle east, i don't really believe that russia shares any of them. when you look at what's in it for russian interests. that's the reason why one of the great accomplishments in my life time in the middle east was the united states of playing a role of getting russia out of the middle east. that's all been reversed and this is not good for the region. it's not good for the united states' interests. china has a more complicated question and china does not have a history in the middle east the way that r

the united states experience with china shows this. it is largely do to the nonmarket base practices of china and the nonmarket structure of china's economy that the united states has encountered so many problems with china. the one that i mentioned that have been intensifying in recent years and is largely in recognition of the special challenges posed by nonmarket base economies that the united states, japan and european union are having this trilateral discussion about reforming the pto rules . the discussions are focused on topics like industrial subsidies the state owned enterprises, forced technology transfer and other nonmarket base practices. so the form of government of countries is absolutely critical. a model of progressive liberalization the united states pursued after world war ii of gradual reductions in tariffs, that's extremely important but when it comes to an economy like china's , it's insufficient to break down the trade investment barriers that pose a threat to us companies and workers. >> was moved to the audience

how do you see this new authoritarianism as a challenge to the united states or to our values and security? >> thank you very much, again for having, me i really look forward to the conversation and i had maybe refer back to your opening remarks and which you referenced the founding of our nation. i believe this is an experiment, i believe that the whole concept of democracy is it means by which to run a country as a natural in the sense that we don't really run anything else that's important to us in our lives through democratic vote, whether be our family or our workplace, we tend to think of other governance structure that makes more sense for other things than are critical to us. so we have to have a sense of that fragility and understand where the threats to our experiments come. in so far as vladimir putin has made his model of governance more attractive to those around his periphery, as made people from erdogan to start to think about slow sly ways to transition democracies to something that looks more like autocracy, or china's ability now to export the tools of autocratic rule, ma

states very few people question why the united states is testing the nuclear deterrent if you will . ecuador's president has declared a national emergency following a wave of protests over the cancellation of fuel subsidies the move which came into effect on thursday is expected to cause the price of petrol and diesel to double and transport workers launched a nationwide strike in response with drivers blocking the roads in major cities students also took to the streets in the capital quito demonstrators clashed with riot police who fired tear gas and made hundreds of arrests now despite the turmoil president lyndon moreno has said there is no chance that the 40 year old subsidy scheme will be reinstated. that there is no possibility of changing those things related to the perverse subsidies are causing so much harm to the country they were distorting the economy but above all else allow for important national resources to fall into the wrong hands to try to ensure the safety of our citizens and avoid chaos i have declared a national state of emergency in the. arctic nor has slashed

states and according to the united states the why p.g. has started the pull out was to do still did not get any reaction or word from the white p.g. on whether or not they they are pulling back but this deal has has been announced and this really strengthens turkey's position because turkey on tuesday is going to be in sochi the president is going to be holding talks with the russian president who wants to invite the syrian government and russia of course benefits once the relationship between turkey and the united states is is not on a good footing just before the arrival of this high level u.s. delegation to ankara relationship was at an all time low a leak letter by the u.s. president was described here in turkey as insulting to urge to go on threatening to erdogan and now the relationship back on track to us calling turkey an ally a strong partner in fact turkey has now replaced the y.p. g. as its partner in syria so turkey getting the white peachy away from its border and at the same time getting that safe zone that it wanted because

of the united states and yes security council the u.s. administration is currently grappling with the problems in northern syria and tensions with iran north korea it was until recently one area of policy the president trump could claim was moving in a positive direction it's hard to make that case now. now this year mexico has deported more than 100000 people who are trying to get to the u.s. while the vast majority of central americans are also more than a 1000 africans have been pretty much stuck in limbo in southern mexico for the past several months john home reports now from a camp in tapachula. far from home and praying for some kind of deliverance the. these african migrants from countries such as angola cameroon and the republican democratic republic of congo a trying to get to the united states but they found themselves stuck in tapachula. they do already travel thousands of kilometers through latin america to get to here a desperate journey that started in brazil or it could do with these requirements for them would loose the m

states, he said, "i had a better year than the president of the united states." baseball almost didn't make it. that was because of the "black sox" scandal of 1919 when the chicago white sox threw the series to the cincinnati reds. people didn't know it at the time. they actually didn't know it until a couple of years later, dishonest it had been. eight players were involved. probably the best-known was shoeless joe jackson. when he was going to court, he was stopped by a little boy who said "say it ain't so, joe." joe jackson said, yes, son, i'm afraid it is so. that could have done in baseball. all this came to light in 1921. judge kenesawired mountain landis, and kenesaw mountain landis took a very hard line. he fired the eight white sox players involved in throwing the games. he even fired a player who didn't throw the game, but knew about it, and he was angry at him because he should have reported this to the fbi. baseball,ition to college football attracted thousands, tens of thousands of people. , the gallopingo ghost of the university of illinois. and coa

to represent this great united states. this is going to be an opportunity for anyone, no matter what their path is in life, if they have children at home, if they're a single mom or single dad, if they're a family with kids, if they're wondering, how do i take on this challenge, how do i get a chance to serve this great country, how do i get a chance to join us? this is going to be their opportunity to say, i'm going to go out and spend a lot of time raising money, because many of these campaigns, i can tell you how much mine cost. it cost millions upon millions of dollars. and a lot of times when you're gone, you're raising more money to run because campaigns are too expensive. we understand that. we get that. we agree on that. this is a chance to say, i'm going to get out there and get on the dance floor and take that chance. too many people that may want to run for office won't do it ecause they're afraid to lose. i think everyone has to have the chance to take away any excuse, to be able to step out and put their name

she spent her whole life trying to get to the united states. it was amazing how little she knew about it. i took her to the lincoln memorial. martin luther king was she expected disney world and she found a declining town. american english was hard to understand. i got to galveston and someone suggested we grab lunch at a hole in the wall. she took me aside hole in the wall. she wanted to know why not poor girls. world travelers aren't always worriedly. always in a pocket of filipinos. she got to galveston and not very homesick. 7,000 of them. you could sit there. she kept the skype connection ( you could hear the roosters crow. the first place she felt comfortable was in the hospital not because the work there was easy but because she felt equal to its difficulties. it became a vehicle of assimilation. i think there is a big point here in terms of a comparative context. one reason the united states does better at integrating immigrants in europe is that it is easy and they have higher unemployment rates here. work gets people out into the comm

first, the united states will keep all of its commitments. second, which all provide a provide al shield if a nuclear power threatens the freedom of a nation allied with us or of a nation whose survival we consider vital to our security. third, in cases of all the other types of aggression, we shall furnish military and economic assistance when requested in accordance with our treaty commitments. but we should look for the nation directly threatened to assume the primary responsibility of providing the manpower for its defense. after i announced this policy i found the leaders of nations which might be threatened by communist aggression welcomed this new direction in american foreign-policy. the defense of freedom is everybody's business, not just america's. and it is particularly the responsible of the people whose the peoplebility of whose freedom is threatened. in the previous administration, we americanized the war in vietnam. in this administration, we are vietnamizing the search for peace. the policy of the previous administration not o

not a single united states service member was killed in this operation. despite baghdadi's death, the security situation in syria remains complex. nonstate actors continue to vie for control of territory and resources within the country. as we have learned from our recent history in the middle east, it is very easy to get drawn into continued conflict if our objectives are not clear. acting as a police force is not our mission. our mission in syria remaining the same since 2014, to enable the enduring defeat of isis. it is intended to posture us to continue this mission and give the president options while returning the balance back home to the united states. those who remain will continue to execute counter terrorism operations while staying in close contact with the syrian democratic forces who have fought along side us. the united states will retain control of oil fields in northeast syria. these oil fields provided isis with the bulk of financial resources used to fund its terror. u.s. troops will remain positioned in this area to deny isis access to

you mentioned that the united states -- you mentioned the united states opposed turkey's incursion into northern syria. that erdogan had always wanted a sort of safe zone here. what concessions did you actually get out of president erdogan, number one. number two, have you gotten specific assurances from the ypg that they would comply with the terms of this agreement, because this is something that they have said that they would not do. and finally, with the kurds moving south and now with the u.s. sanctions in terms of them moving south, how would you address critics who would call this essentially a second abandonment of the kurds? >> well, i think you'll be able to see from the agreement itself what concessions were made. president trump, in his telephone call with president erdogan earlier this week, and in the directive that he gave us to deliver, was very clear that he wanted a cease-fire. he wanted to stop the violence. turkey's engaged in an active military operation. i can tell you that as our discussions began over the course of the five-hour period of time, we reached a place

i have the backing of the united states congress. we'll not tolerate this. we want a good relationship but you are destroying it and i have the backing of the united states congress. i have got the backing of people who want to impeach me. i got the backing of people who is going to defend me. i want erdogan to stand down before it is too late to get out of syria. give us a chance to deal with your legitimate concerns. do not abandon the kurds mr. president. some of our troops need to stay involved in the counter isis fight because there is 15 or 20,000 isis fighters still on the loose inside syria. the day we leave will be when we can say we are safe. every military leader, mr. president, believes we need a few hundreds of us to keep the isis fight going in a positive direction. 10,000 kurds were injured or killed. every one of them went down was one of us that did not have to go down. this is a motto that worked. we destroyed the caliphate with eight casualties on the american side. what am i urging? just listen to the commanders. don't listen to rand paul
