mdp.39015063604725As soon as he awoke, the first thought that occurred to him was this: “ Why do I lie here?

mdp.39015063604725Calling to my servant, who was standing in the room, he said,'What is your name?
mdp.39015063604725Could this have been applied to a tribe who lived in Mesopotamia in the days of Terah and Abraham?
mdp.39015063604725Do any one of the mounds which now meet the traveller's eye represent the relics of that earliest architectural effort of the human race?

pst.000017170857And Israel's position?
pst.000017170857And our allies?
pst.000017170857And those inspections are only very few people then?
pst.000017170857Are you comfortable, satisfied with the efforts our close allies are making to stop the export of these materials?
pst.000017170857At what point will the Administration recognize that this is not a nice guy, and that conceivably sanctions are appropriate?
pst.000017170857By us, but not our allies, is that correct?
pst.000017170857By whom?
pst.000017170857China?
pst.000017170857Did Nica- ragua have a worse human rights record?
pst.000017170857Do they now?
pst.000017170857Do they send a large team in — the IAEA — or is it just a few people?
pst.000017170857Do you believe those inspections are thorough enough to detect the diversion of any materials for weapon pur- poses?
pst.000017170857Does China continue to export some of these fancy systems to some countries in the Middle East?
pst.000017170857Does that mean we are opposed to Israeli devel- opment of nuclear weapons?
pst.000017170857Does the United States support a region- wide ban on weapons of mass destruction in the Middle East?
pst.000017170857How often do those inspections take place?
pst.000017170857If it does not include the state of Israel, then they are unwilling to negotiate on it, is that their position?
pst.000017170857Iraq, of course, is a signatory to the nuclear non- proliferation treaty, are n't they?
pst.000017170857Is it effective?
pst.000017170857Is it your view that those inspections — I am in- formed two people went in April, is that about right, do you think?
pst.000017170857Is that an accurate impression?
pst.000017170857It is not our position?
pst.000017170857Our position is that we support a region- wide ban on weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000017170857So that is not our position to support a region- wide ban of weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000017170857So we believe they are launched on a path of de- veloping nuclear weapons, but the IAEA has not been able to find that at this point?
pst.000017170857That is a missile regime, an agreement entered into by whom?
pst.000017170857That is different, of course, from supporting a region- wide ban of weapons of mass destruction; is n't it?
pst.000017170857That means their nuclear facilities are open to International Atomic Energy Agency inspection, does it not?
pst.000017170857We are not out there advo- cating a region- wide ban on weapons of mass destruction at this point?
pst.000017170857What else are we doing?
pst.000017170857What is that?
pst.000017170857Who are the signatories?
pst.000017170857Why ca n't it buy at open market rates?
pst.000017170857Yet you do think that Iraq is engaged on a nucle- ar weapons development program, did you not say that?

hvd.32044022682017“ But who realizes this truth[ of the Church's unity] in its just magni- tude?
pst.000045413599And will any such inspections be worth those sacrifices?
pst.000045413599Are any such programs proceeding?
pst.000045413599Are the present sanctions working?
pst.000045413599Are we prepared to let it die again?
pst.000045413599Are we prepared to rescue the Iraqi opposition?
pst.000045413599Beyond weapons of mass destruction, what should we think of the claim that Saddam is"contained?"
pst.000045413599Can they be made more effective?
pst.000045413599Can we have confidence in the U.N. administration of programs affecting Iraq?
pst.000045413599Can we secure ourselves, our forces in the field and our friends and allies in the region as long as Saddam is in power?
pst.000045413599Can we should we rebuild the coalition that opposed Saddam following the invasion of Kuwait?
pst.000045413599Does Saddam Hussein now possess weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000045413599Does the regime of Saddam Hussein pose a threat to the interests of the United States and its allies?
pst.000045413599How about last year?
pst.000045413599How can we end Saddam's programs to obtain weapons of mass destruction and the means to deliver them?
pst.000045413599How can we work with the INC to bring about a change in the Iraqi re- gime?
pst.000045413599How does the magnitude of that threat today com- pare with what it was a decade ago at the end of Desert Storm?
pst.000045413599How much do we know about his programs with respect to chemical, biological and nuclear weapons?
pst.000045413599In the absence of U.N. inspectors, how much can we expect to learn about these programs?
pst.000045413599Is that a correct reading of each of your positions?
pst.000045413599The ques- tion is, how should that military operation be deployed?
pst.000045413599What about this time two years ago?
pst.000045413599What are the prospects for removing Saddam's regime from power?
pst.000045413599What sac- rifices on sanctions must we make to get them in?
pst.000045413599Why are we in Saudi Ara- bia?
pst.000045413599Why?
pst.000045413599Why?
pst.000045413599Will we return our inspectors to Iraq?
pst.000045413599Would a return of inspectors justify the normalization of relations with Saddam?
pst.000045413599Would you advocate such a pol- icy?
pst.000045413599“ What can we do in response?
pst.000063501599After the President's plan, can you tell me the total umber of forces that you believe would be in Baghdad?
pst.000063501599And the question becomes why have n't they taken even step one to do what they need to do?
pst.000063501599Are the numbers you are talking about in line about the current manuals and metrics associated with the counterinsurgency?
pst.000063501599Do n't we as well, though, have some leverage on funding or the lack of funding in the future?
pst.000063501599On the other hand, Dr. Kagan asked a very pertinent question and that is, should we pull our troops out, what is the effect of that?
pst.000063501599To stabilize the entire city?
pst.000063501599What do you think?
pst.000063501599Why would you not include that as something that could motivate the Iraqis to step forward and do the things that they need to do?
pst.000063501599Would you care to comment, Dr. Kagan?
pst.000063501599Would you turn that on, please?
pst.000065503331As I was struck in Iraq when I asked the General what about the impact of Iraq on our Armed Forces at home?
pst.000065503331General Jones, did you have any Arkansans on that commission?
pst.000065503331General Joulwan, will their Army in 18 months poten- tially, or 24 months, be the exact equivalent of ours as we do our efforts out there in Iraq?
pst.000065503331I think you used the word “ independently. ” Is that kind of the key distinction?
pst.000065503331If so, would that be because of our U.S. military presence pri- marily?
pst.000065503331Is that how you would distinguish between the press headlines we have been seeing?
pst.000065505380And is n't it true that the point of the President's escalation plan was to give the Iraqis a chance to carry out political reconciliation?
pst.000065505380And, I think you need to find out, Why did things change?
pst.000065505380Is that correct?
pst.000065505380Let me also ask- have you seen a recent “ Special Inspector General for Iraq Reconstruction Report, ” done by Mr. Bowen?
pst.000065505380My concern, and also I think you raised the issue that I think is the issue, what is our role?
pst.000065505380The question you ask: What's our role?
pst.000065505380Would you agree that it is a fair assessment to say that the Iraq Government should get a failing grade on the legisla- tive benchmarks?
pst.000065505380You're talking about have they met, have they met the benchmark?
pst.00005456581426 Could you elaborate very briefly on what you mean by that?
pst.000054565814A similar very low response resulted from the question:"Which national leader in Iraq, if any, do you trust the most?"
pst.000054565814And how many years can we anticipate spending multiple billions of dollars on reconstruction projects in Iraq?
pst.000054565814Arid the real focus is — and Senator Biden brought it up — are we going to continue to pay mercenaries, essentially?
pst.000054565814But I do believe — to answer your question, and Senator Biden's — why not level with the American people?
pst.000054565814Dodge, what do you think?
pst.000054565814Does anyone have a thought about that?
pst.000054565814Dr. Schlesinger, do you have a comment?
pst.000054565814How can I help your poli- tics?
pst.000054565814How do we create secu- rity?
pst.000054565814How, then, are we to be successful in sustaining order and sta- bility in Iraq?
pst.000054565814Jim, what do you think would happen if we made a genuine effort?
pst.000054565814Just to play the devil's advocate, what if Iraqis decide they do n't like these people?
pst.000054565814So if that's the case, why should n't we ask all of our citizens to bear some responsibility and pay some price?
pst.000054565814So why should n't we, then, have some responsibility, as our children should have some responsibility?
pst.000054565814The secular parties and independents got a larger share of the vote than anyone would have predicted?
pst.000054565814Today, the ques- tion on the public mind is, what is our strategy for success in Iraq, and is it achievable?
pst.000054565814Well, then you'd have to have some additional se- curity to deal with that, correct?
pst.000054565814What if the basic parties — the Shi'ites, the Kurds, and the Sunnis — decide that they are not adequately rep- resented?
pst.000054565814What should be the standard of legitimacy for emerging Iraqi leadership?
pst.000054565814What should the United States do at such a hypothetical juncture in his- tory?
pst.000054565814What's the consequence of that uncertainty?
pst.000054565814With these flare- ups?
pst.000054565814You remember that speech?
pst.000063508888Does that include the Kurdish population?
pst.000063508888Does the Request to Extend the Mandate of the Multinational Forces Come Under the Definition of International Treaties and Agreements?
pst.000063508888Dr. Katzman?
pst.000063508888If there is no objection from Mr. Rohrabacher?
pst.000063508888Is there a situation coming now where there is enough stability that Ameri- cans can begin withdrawing our troops?
pst.000063508888Mr. Jarrar?
pst.000063508888Mr. Jarrar?
pst.000063508888Mr. Saliba, do you know?
pst.000063508888Should we have permanent bases?
pst.000063508888So have we made progress?
pst.000063508888They were just questioning,"What is the legal status of such a resolution?"
pst.000063508888Today's hearing is entitled,"The Ex- tension of the United Nations Mandate for Iraq: Is the Iraqi Par- liament Being Ignored?"
pst.000063508888V. Does it Matter whether the June 5, 2007 Resolution Is Binding or Not?
pst.000058792209* Mr. Berman, do you have any questions?
pst.000058792209And is there a way in which one of us could find out what their conclusion was about that?
pst.000058792209Anybody have any insight on the Tariq Aziz?
pst.000058792209Are efforts being made to try to identify the balance?
pst.000058792209Can you give any sense of the breadth of intel- 31 ligence information we had beforehand that was confirmed by these documents?
pst.000058792209Did I write that Presidential directive?
pst.000058792209Do we have a title?
pst.000058792209Have any of the others been identi- fied of POWs/ MIAs( missing in action)?
pst.000058792209Is that a fair conclusion?
pst.000058792209May I briefly introduce a summary of the this humanitarian tragedy?
pst.000058792209Mr. Berman, do you have any opening statement?
pst.000058792209So one question I have is, might it not have been sensible to give at least your opinions about those documents as you published those docu- ments?
pst.000058792209So someone at the Pentagon then would have made the decision that it was okay to release this report without verifying the contents?
pst.000058792209The only approval that was necessary?
pst.000058792209Was there a reason why they would pick up people aside from maybe business leaders or government leaders?
pst.000058792209What do we know about whether the Russians were disclosing our military plans to Saddam's regime?
pst.000058792209What has happened with our expendi- tures?
pst.000058792209What is that all about?
pst.000058792209What is the high- est level at the Pentagon or elsewhere that made that approval?
pst.000058792209What is this about the White House approving the leaking of Valarie Plame?
pst.000058792209Who is the government official?
pst.000058792209Who signed off on this?
pst.000058792209Why are n't we better protecting our troops?
pst.000058792209Why is n't reconstruction going better?
pst.000058792209You ca n't get into the head 33 any different if we knew what the Iraqis were thinking and what decisions they were making?"
pst.000058792209You either had authenticated them or had no rea- son to believe they were n't authentic?
pst.000061502949All right, do I hear objection?
pst.000061502949And I think that is the litmus test, is n't it, Congressman?
pst.000061502949And I understand now that Baby Harry, born at 5:02 a.m., was seven and three quarters pounds?
pst.000061502949And the second half of my question, the people who serve, are they motivated by loyalty to Iraq, or are they simply looking for a job?
pst.000061502949Are they motivated by loyalty to a united Iraq, or are they simply looking for employment?
pst.000061502949Are we close to civil war in Iraq?
pst.000061502949Could you?
pst.000061502949From 1920 on, how did it get from something started by the British at the end of World War I to where we are now?
pst.000061502949General, can Dr. Snyder and I tomorrow morning midmorning go down in Baghdad and have a cup of tea without any armed escort?
pst.000061502949General, would you agree, a few months, does that work for you?
pst.000061502949How did Iraq become Iraq?
pst.000061502949How much time?
pst.000061502949Is that the case?
pst.000061502949Mr. Am- bassador, where were you stationed, where were you posted in late 2002 and early 2003?
pst.000061502949What is Iraq?
pst.000061502949Where do we find the bridge between what the prime min- ister is saying and what the prime minister is doing or not doing?
pst.000061502949how much time do we have?
pur1.32754061516633We should like to ask once again: what site is there that a team has not been permitted to enter and inspect?

pst.000054565821And I say,"Why not?"
pst.000054565821And do you want me to forcibly return refugees to their homes?
pst.000054565821And force the discussion for the clarity here of, what do you want done?
pst.000054565821And that's the question that I — what is the strategy, what is the war plan — or the stabilization plan to match the war plan?
pst.000054565821And then say, do you have enough forces to do it?

pst.000054565821Run in the elections, run for office?
pst.000054565821The question is, is it your view that it is possible to get addi- tional help from major powers in the training piece of the Iraqi military?
pst.000054565821WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
pst.000054565821What budget resources will this transitional government have to obligate itself in the next 8 months when they are the power- that- be in Iraq?
pst.000054565821What is there to lose?
pst.000054565821What's their role going to be in the war- crimes process?
pst.000054565821When I was in Iraq in late November, I had U.S. Army Civil Affairs personnel say to me flat out,"Where is the UN?

pst.000063510119Can you describe for us what the import of that particular letter was?
pst.000063510119Do n't we usually wait until those issues have been clari- fied rather than exposing the United States to unpredictable polit- ical changes?
pst.000063510119For example, would the United States be required to come restore the elected government?
pst.000063510119How would it apply to them?
pst.000063510119Is it your understanding that it will or will not pass, if it were brought before their Parliament?
pst.000063510119Is that cor- rect?
pst.000063510119Is there any historical notation that this kind of thing could work, where leaders have agreements that the people on both sides might disagree with?
pst.000063510119Mr. Scott?
pst.000063510119Was it submitted to the Parliament, Mr. Katzman?
pst.000063510119Where have we ever entered an agreement to defend a foreign country from external and inter- nal attack that was not a treaty?
pst.000063510119Would this mean a continued high level of State Department, USAID, and con- tractor involvement in assisting Iraq's ministries?
pst.000063510119Y 4.F 76/1:110- 151 THE PROPOSED U.S. SECURITY COMMITMENT TO IRAQ: WHAT WILL BE IN IT AND SHOULD IT BE A TREATY?
pst.000063525007And again, what is it?
pst.000063525007And so I am just, you know, is that appropriate from your points of view?
pst.000063525007But I am wondering what adjustments are actually made in terms of real life?
pst.000063525007Can you identify what is the greatest frustration in trying to do that and trying to ascertain that then?
pst.000063525007Do we need more resources?
pst.000063525007Has that taken folks away from the embedding and the training to your knowledge?
pst.000063525007Is it only numbers?
pst.000063525007Is that partly because they did n't have the same assumptions that our troops do, and so you have to — it takes longer to build that?
pst.000063525007Is that something that we ought to be focusing on more than on numbers?
pst.000063525007What are we missing?
pst.000063525007What specific adjustments have been made over a period of years as we have gotten data or information?
pst.000063525007What would make a difference?

pst.000065505427And so the question, now, for the Iraqi government is, what do they do about it?
pst.000065505427Did you say being paid than have been trained?
pst.000065505427How are these, sort of, negative appraisals of these units — what is the chain like?
pst.000065505427How do you see the quality and numbers and experience of our U.S. trainers, our troops that are doing the training?
pst.000065505427If we were to ask you how many of these forces they needed so that we could leave, what would you tell us?
pst.000065505427If we were to withdraw over some period of time, have we left something behind where they are going to be thinking a little bit differently?
pst.000065505427Is it true that the police, particularly in a place like Ramadi, now, where the sheiks are heavily involved in that, that that is better?
pst.000065505427Is that, like other things in Iraq, a little spotty, depending on your geography?
pst.000065505427Or is it that the payroll is inflated by folks who are n't really there?
pst.000065505427Would you want to respond to that?
pst.000065505427You want to add anything?
pst.000065505427testineral Denally transl!inues tore that Foremost, how does ISF's mission fit into the Iraqi strategy?
pst.00005893550715 Are they accepting this kind of a premise, or is this something that you are trying to encourage over there?
pst.000058935507And can we get there by next sum- mer?
pst.000058935507Are there limits on frequency of visits, or how difficult is the range?
pst.000058935507Are they at the end of their rope?
pst.000058935507At some point, will you be able to say how many NATO trainers you will have there by September or October 1st?
pst.000058935507Could you urge them to get — to put more troops in there, to get more training done quickly?
pst.000058935507Do you have a statement?
pst.000058935507Finally, the question asked is, when can the Coalition leave, and should we have a deadline?
pst.000058935507For all intents and purposes, that will help to speed up the training; am I correct?
pst.000058935507General Casey, do you have a statement, sir?
pst.000058935507Has the challenge become more difficult in recent months rather than less?
pst.000058935507How are the Coali- tion and the new Iraqi Government really doing?
pst.000058935507How far are we get- ting on that?
pst.000058935507If that is correct, is that an indication that, as the Vice President said, is the situation, the insurgency, in its last throes?
pst.000058935507Is it readily available to respond to the President's request to come 34 Are they in the last of their throes?
pst.000058935507Is that number, Generals Casey and Abizaid, 20,000 to 25,000, is that in the ball park of numbers?
pst.000058935507Is there a waiting list?
pst.000058935507Is this the end of the thing, as Vice President Cheney sug- gested, or do we have a hard road ahead of us?
pst.000058935507It is hard to understand how we are winning in the face of those facts What other measures are there more than security?
pst.000058935507Or, has it just become more determined, more sophisticated, more coordi- nated, using more sophisticated ammunition and things of this na- ture?
pst.000058935507That takes the total today to 75,000; is that correct?
pst.000058935507Today, the questions I hear are something like this: Is the effort under way in Iraq worth the cost, the sacrifice?
pst.000058935507What ensues next, and should the Congress set a timetable for withdrawal?
pst.000058935507What is happening?
pst.000058935507What kind of limits are there on press access to visiting Guantanamo?

pur1.32754077252686Mr. Kemp?
pur1.32754077252686Now, what should we do if the evidence linking Saddam to Sep- tember the 11th is flimsy and inconclusive?
pur1.32754077252686What is your assessment of the capa- bility of the opposition to overthrow the regime of Saddam?
pur1.32754077252686What is your assessment of those reports, and what has been the relationship, if any, between Iraq and al Qaeda?
pst.000058946817After how many years are we beginning to discuss the re- construction phase in Iraq?
pst.000058946817Ambassador, were you surprised somewhat by his comment relative to let us lay off Iran and pressing them on the nuclear weapons issue?
pst.000058946817Are you getting any push back?
pst.000058946817Can I make one point because my time is running out?
pst.000058946817Can you elaborate on the training that the Iraqi police are receiving?
pst.000058946817Do you care to comment, Ambassador, and do we welcome the Iranian participation in the reconstruction of Iraq?
pst.000058946817Great work, okay?
pst.000058946817Has everyone who wishes to make an opening statement fulfilled their urge?
pst.000058946817How many contractors have folded, gone bankrupt, left town, were not able to complete their projects, had to be replaced or could n't do the job?
pst.000058946817How many contractors in dollar amounts?
pst.000058946817In other words, have we learned from our mistakes, and what are the lessons learned?
pst.000058946817Is that correct?
pst.000058946817Mr. Delahunt of Massachusetts?
pst.000058946817Mr. Flake of Arizona?

pst.000058946817Mr. Tancredo of Colorado?
pst.000058946817Ms. Ros- Lehtinen?
pst.000058946817So we do n't have a problem if Iraq supports the Iranian position in terms of the development of enriched uranium?
pst.000058946817The second part of your question, sir, was?
pst.000058946817Well, what is the value of their windfall profit just in the past year?
pst.000058946817What are our Ambas- sadors instructed to do in the oil rich Arab countries to see to it that they live up to their commitments and obligations?
pst.000058946817What criteria have been established for the re- cruitment of Iraqi police and security personnel?

pst.000066755616Before you leave, I want to know: Are you a candidate in the Re- publican Caucus for any leadership position?
pst.000066755616Even in case of an invasion?
pst.000066755616I think you could- well, could you mandate?
pst.000066755616Mr. Chairman?
pst.000066755616Mr. Chairman?
pst.000066755616Our Status of Forces Agreement with Korea, does it demand that the Korean Government preapprove of military operation in Korea?
pst.000066755616Will the gentleman yield?

pst.0000630923877 T 4.F 76/1: IR 1/33 BEYOND THE SEPTEMBER REPORT: WHAT'S NEXT FOR IRAQ?
pst.000063092387And I am sorry, you probably answered this, but could you do two things?
pst.000063092387Are the markets open?
pst.000063092387But what was your interaction with the everyday Iraqi people and what they are thinking right now?
pst.000063092387Did they have trouble getting there, what was on the agenda?
pst.000063092387Fourth, is the readiness level of American contingency forces today adequate to meet plausible contingencies?
pst.000063092387General Keane, could you try to wind up?
pst.000063092387General Keane?
pst.000063092387I also would say the same thing, where do we go from here?
pst.000063092387Is the readiness level of American contingency forces today adequate to meet plausible military contingencies?
pst.000063092387Is there commerce taking place?
pst.000063092387May I interrupt for just a minute?
pst.000063092387Of 2007, you were there in May and in August?
pst.000063092387Secondly, how much longer will the coalition forces be needed to provide breathing space for the Iraqi Government?
pst.000063092387So it is fair to ask: How well have they made use of that time, and how much more time will they need?
pst.000063092387So the rhythms I am looking for with people are: Are they going to school?
pst.000063092387So what do I think is happening?
pst.000063092387The markets, are they populated?
pst.000063092387Third, in order to achieve American goals in Iraq, how much longer will American forces be needed at or near present levels in Iraq?
pst.000063092387What kind of group were you walking around with?
pst.000063092387When and how will we complete the work in Afghanistan and root out the terror networks in other parts of the world like northern Pakistan?
pst.000063092387When you say 60 percent of the people did n't show up on the first day, the members or delegates, members of their Parliament, the question is: Why?
pst.000063092387Where are we now?
pst.000063092387Who knows if that is true or not?
pst.000063092387Why is that?
pst.000063092387Why would we think our efforts in the 21st century would be any different than other nations'efforts in past centuries?
pst.000063092387• How much longer will coalition forces be needed to provide breathing space for the Iraqi government?
pst.000063092387• In order to achieve American goals in Iraq, how much longer will American forces be needed at or near present levels in Iraq?
pst.000063504040And as we look at the different sectors, are we talk- ing about public ownership, private ownership, public/ private?
pst.000063504040And in looking at the countries identified- Kuwait, Qatar, Bahrain — what types models did they use?
pst.000063504040And people wo n't violate the law in that in- stance?
pst.000063504040Are you addressing me, sir?
pst.000063504040Can you explain what you mean by that?
pst.000063504040Could you expand on that?
pst.000063504040Do you have any, sir?
pst.000063504040Do you have any?
pst.000063504040Has there been any deal with them over the oil that will be produced in Iraq?
pst.000063504040Is that cor- rect?
pst.000063504040Is the problem the details behind the laws or the criminals that are not behind the bars?
pst.000063504040May I intercept at this point?
pst.000063504040Mr. Saliba, very briefly?
pst.000063504040Mr. Shafiq?
pst.000063504040Sorry?
pst.000063504040That is one, but you also have to what extent do you resolve the disposition of Kirkuk?
pst.000063504040There has been no contracts with the Chi- nese since for this new development of oil?
pst.000063504040They are?
pst.000063504040To the question at hand, I would just like to know whether or not the Government of China or any Chinese companies have had any type agreement?
pst.000063504040What about this horse and this cart?
pst.000063504040What is the plan- ning for that, if any?
pst.000063504040What is the potential of recruiting foreign oil companies to invest, to develop the expertise, and the infrastructure?
pst.000063504040Why would this stop with the passage of a law if the im- plementation is going to be what it is now?
pst.000063504040Would my friend yield?
pst.000063504040Would the gentleman yield for just a moment be- fore he goes on?

pst.000033098807And how do your proposals differ from what s already been tried and failed by both the Bush and Clinton Administrations?
pst.000033098807And the question is, would the United States agree to that?
pst.000033098807And we are now entreating with someone who we can do business with who is rational?
pst.000033098807And, two, if sanctions have not worked with Saddam Hussein in the past, then what will?
pst.000033098807Any other questions for Dr. Kay?
pst.000033098807As a declaratory policy, are we prepared to say that now?
pst.000033098807As a result, the question arises: What should constitute the long- term policy of the United States toward Saddam Hussein and Iraq?
pst.000033098807Does he affect the world's or region's oil supplies?
pst.000033098807Does he threaten to in- vade his neighbors?
pst.000033098807Does he threaten to use his weapons against his neighbors?
pst.000033098807Faced with five years of deception and lack of compliance, what are the chances of the monitoring system successfully working?
pst.000033098807Has he threatened to spread or do we believe he will spread weap- ons of mass destruction to his neighbors?
pst.000033098807If those countries are so concerned about being deposed and losing their leaders, why do n't they support us?
pst.000033098807Is assassination, as some have suggested, an option?
pst.000033098807Is it they should be pressuring Israel to make certain specific concessions, what kinds of concessions?
pst.000033098807Is there imminent threat that would defend or justify an air attack, even if he did n't let the inspections go through?
pst.000033098807More focused attention to infrastructure repair?
pst.000033098807What about the disclo- sure regarding those and the inspection and their elimination?
pst.000033098807What has Saddam had to pay for this long breathing space and for the four- month defiance of the United Nations that produced it?
pst.000033098807What is the U.S. national interest there?
pst.000033098807What local country is likely to step 57 forward to be our partner?
pst.000033098807What more, then, are you suggesting in your feeling that there is something wrong here?
pst.000033098807Where is our"Pakistan"here?
pst.000033098807Why is it worth fighting for ineffectively with air power and not worth fighting for effectively, if that means using ground forces?

pur1.32754077070351Has the administration, for instance, determined what it is likely to cost, both the military operations and the aftermath?
pur1.32754077070351So what are the costs?

pst.000051636159And how long will that take?
pst.000051636159And if you are n't able to do it in Iraq, the question then will be-- are all countries made for that kind of freedom?
pst.000051636159And so, what do you do?
pst.000051636159And the question then is, how is it guaranteed?

pst.000066745990Secretary Rice, before we continue, would you just pull the mic up a little closer?
pst.000066745990These hearings and our investigation have raised important questions: Is the Maliki government too corrupt to succeed?
pst.000066745990Why did the State Department sele company under investigation for kickbacks and bribery to build the largest Embassy in the world?

pst.000065514979And I believe you found one more bench- mark met than the year before?
pst.000065514979Do we have ongoing projects that we seek to complete that require the appropriation of additional money?
pst.000065514979In fact, the law extends de- Baathification standards to a number of organizations not previously affected, including the Iraqi judiciary. ”!?
pst.000065514979Is n't that correct?
pst.000065514979Is that cor- rect?
pst.000065514979Is that sufficient for our share?
pst.000065514979Mr. Conaway?
pst.000065514979Now, you asked the question about at what point do we turn over the responsibility for the reconstruction to Iraq?
pst.000065514979On the question of enacting the hydrocarbon or oil legislation, you con- cluded that they had not met that again this year, did you not?
pst.000065514979Right?
pst.000065514979So if you have signed a commitment to build something and you have signed a contract to do that, that is, that would not reduce that surplus?
pst.000065514979So is the Iraq government at will free to draw from the$ 29 billion surplus at the New York Fed?
pst.000065514979So you are confident, what is the definition of surplus?
pst.000065514979So you are not suggesting they squander the money, are you?
pst.000065514979Tell me the first, second, and third most important reasons, again, as to why that massive amount of fraud occurred?
pst.000065514979That is, how do we budget for the War on Terrorism, and particularly the war in Iraq?
pst.000065514979They were Sunnis, too, probably?
pst.000065514979What impact did that have on the num- bers that you are working with?
pst.000065514979Without our approval or approbation or over- sight?
pst.000061489530And absent re those who predict civil war, or separation of the groups in the country, likely to have the last date?
pst.000061489530Are we working to — on the first track- to make that stronger?
pst.000061489530Are you surprised about that?
pst.000061489530But at the same 18 Iraq in the last 6 months?
pst.000061489530But you could go through the other countries and give us some sense of the roles they are playing?
pst.000061489530Can I focus on that point?
pst.000061489530Could I interject right there?
pst.000061489530I guess the question then becomes, what do we do then?
pst.000061489530If that were to happen, what would the consequences be?
pst.000061489530Is that cor- rect?
pst.000061489530Is that right?
pst.000061489530Mr. Chairman, may I just add one thing?
pst.000061489530My question is, Will you send me what your contingency plans are?
pst.000061489530OK, are you surprised by the fact that 87 per- cent of the Iraqi people want to see us have a timeline?
pst.000061489530Right?
pst.000061489530So back to the reshaping of the Middle East, what do you have in mind there?
pst.000061489530So how do you square your view and who should the people in America believe?
pst.000061489530So what lessons do we have there?
pst.000061489530So you do n't believe that General Casey in mak- ing a recommendation for a timetable for withdrawal has under- mined the effort, do you?
pst.000061489530The question here is how do we get success?
pst.000061489530To what extent are Iranian groups, inde- pendent of the Iranian Government, operating in Iraq?
pst.000061489530What are our plans for a contingency if there is a full- blown civil war or however you want to phrase it, call it?
pst.000061489530What are the objectives of the International Compact that the adminis- tration hopes to put into place?
pst.000061489530What are we doing to ensure its legitimacy?
pst.000061489530What is your gut feeling as to whether there is this sense of wanting to be Iraqi?
pst.000061489530What is — are we laying out that plan for them, not telling them what to do, how to build an institution?
pst.000061489530What message do you want to send to Tehran about their involvement in Iraq?
pst.000061489530What will it encompass?

uc1.31210010699716In what sense does Saddam Hussein in power inhibit Iran from its support for inter- national terrorism?
uc1.31210010699716In what sense does Saddam in Iraq diminish Iran's sup- port for radical fundamentalist insurgencies around the world?
uc1.31210010699716In what sense does Saddam's continuation in power diminish Iran's search for nuclear weapons and other weapons of mass de- struction?

uc1.31210010699716We have to ask what are our priorities and what can we usefully accomplish?

uc1.31822028879765The issue that has often come up in this con- text is how does this bear on the decision to go to war?
uc1.31822028879765What is the atti- tude really like in Baghdad?
uc1.31210010551016Does this not signify anything to anyone?
uc1.31210010551016Every- thing is already getting through?
uc1.31210010551016Have they asked that the sanctions be continued or that they be lifted?
uc1.31210010551016How does Jordan react to the sanctions?
uc1.31210010551016Is it not possible that Saddam Hussein might be behind the World Trade Center bombing?
uc1.31210010551016Is it not something we should look into?
uc1.31210010551016It is already breaking down?
uc1.31210010551016Jordan has no access to oil other than Iraq today?
uc1.31210010551016On Iraq?
uc1.31210010551016So the practical impact of lifting the sanctions is to let weapons go in, is that correct?
uc1.31210010551016The World Trade Cen- ter bombing — what about the World Trade Center bombing?
uc1.31210010551016What do you mean by that?
uc1.31210010551016What would be the reaction in Turkey if the sanctions were lifted on the northern part?
pst.000065517673And if so, is n't it really time to figure out how to de- escalate?
pst.000065517673And just as in corporate America, the reason you have auditors is do you want to just rely upon the people who are responsible for executing?
pst.000065517673And there are certain things that only the Iraqis can do: I mean, pass the legislation, and try to do that, okay?
pst.000065517673But is there an agreement at least between you and the compilers of these data as to the overall violence incidents?
pst.000065517673Do you have opinions on that?
pst.000065517673For instance, what should the Iraqi forces be doing that we are doing for them?
pst.000065517673How do you differ in your metrics from their metrics?
pst.000065517673How do you measure whatever it is you are talking about, and how do you assign importance to the different things that you are talking about?
pst.000065517673How would you recommend that we review and critically under- take an analysis of what General Petraeus and the Ambassador will say for us?

pst.000065517673May I interrupt before I call on Mr. Ortiz?
pst.000065517673Mr. Chairman, are we having a classified session?
pst.000065517673Of the metrics that you were given, did you agree with these metrics and would there have been any changes that you would have used in this metrics?
pst.000065517673Should n't we be having a bigger discussion on what are the foreign policy goals of this Nation with regard to some of those areas that I outlined?
pst.000065517673So they lose points instead of gaining points for trying to do something that will give greater stability?
pst.000065517673So those would be some questions to explore?
pst.000065517673So when you talk about sectarian violence like Sunni versus Shi’a or whatever, that is not really that relevant there, okay?
pst.000065517673The question is why, is it transferrable, is it sustainable?
pst.000065517673The question is, are we having a classified por- tion?
pst.000065517673What do you think of that reassessment?
pst.000065517673What is really going on?
pst.000065517673What is the source of the confusion regarding the violence against civilians?
pst.000065517673What standards should we look at?

uc1.31822038362018I am sorry?
uc1.31822038362018I think I heard you say you would recommend the Secretary scale back?
uc1.31822038362018Mr. Estevez, do you have a dollar figure or esti- mate of what assets will be either turned over to the Iraqis or left behind?
uc1.31822038362018The plan is if it becomes untenable, then there is a scaled down operation as opposed to hiring more and more con- tractors?
uc1.31822038362018What is the value?

pst.000056548099Are we talk- ing more than a year, Dr. Cordesman?

pst.000056548099As that old song goes, what is the plan, Stan?
pst.000056548099But is there not the indication that these countries have told us that they will help with the training of the Iraqi army and the Iraqi police?
pst.000056548099But pragmatically, what is your assess- ment of how we are doing now?
pst.000056548099But where does that plan for security force development and training, where does that get ar- ticulated?
pst.000056548099Could you argue that that was the same argu- ment that was being made about the election?
pst.000056548099Do any of you have any thoughts or guidance to our committee along those lines?
pst.000056548099Do you have any further comments, Senator Biden?
pst.000056548099Does it include the President, the Secretaries of Defense and State?
pst.000056548099Dr. Cordesman, would you begin with your comments on this broad question?
pst.000056548099General, Mr. Khalil, do you want to add any- thing to that?
pst.000056548099General, do you want to add to that?
pst.000056548099How do we go about trying to determine, as Dr. Cordesman has suggested, the metrics of how well we are doing?
pst.000056548099How do we track it?
pst.000056548099How long are we talking about, assuming everything went according to plan, we work like heck, we have a rational new policy?
pst.000056548099How long are we talking about, assuming the change has taken place as to how to train and what the goals are as we think it has?
pst.000056548099How well are we doing with the current leadership that we have in the country?
pst.000056548099How will Iraqis and others in the region understand this failure?
pst.000056548099How would we start that?
pst.000056548099I am sorry, ma'am?
pst.000056548099I assume you believe that should be done gradually, is that cor- rect?
pst.000056548099I know you, Dr. Cordesman, must leave us, I understand, at about 11:30; is that correct?
pst.000056548099In other words, can you give some assessment of how we are doing?
pst.000056548099Is it likely to be integrated, that is sunni, Shia, Kurd?
pst.000056548099Is that a fair criticism of the assumption that we can go when they allow us to go?
pst.000056548099Is that correct?
pst.000056548099Is there further debate?
pst.000056548099Now, where is this going to go?
pst.000056548099Or should the question be broader?
pst.000056548099So you had a considerable amount of experience on the inside at the Pentagon as we were preparing to go into Iraq?
pst.000056548099That is what you said?
pst.000056548099That is, what do you think was the role of the Grand Ayatollah Sistani in the turnout?
pst.000056548099Was it just because of great security that the insurgents were not able to come forth and do all that they did?
pst.000056548099Well, what are they?
pst.000056548099What are the problems we face there?
pst.000056548099What are we talking about to be able to give an Iraqi government the capacity to maintain its own security?
pst.000056548099What are we talking about?
pst.000056548099What does that mean?
pst.000056548099What in your opinion is the likelihood of the Kurds moving to establish an independent state?

pur1.32754074680368First of all, I would like to know, did they make a videotape of that meeting?
pur1.32754074680368How could we have prevented him?
pur1.32754074680368If I understand the thrust of your testimony, it is that the transcript really gives a very distorted view?

pur1.32754074680368On July 25th, when the meeting took place, had you been apprized of the fact they had deployed 100,000 troops along the Kuwaiti border?
pur1.32754074680368Perhaps, you would like to make some opening comments before we turn to the Members for questions?
pur1.32754074680368The cable you subsequently sent back, you wrote, or dictated from your memory of the meeting?
pur1.32754074680368Those instructions were to you, we would defend our vital interests in the Gulf?
pur1.32754074680368To the point where it really creates a very false impression of the conversation, is that correct?
pur1.32754074680368Under house arrest?
pur1.32754074680368WHY DIDN, T THE STATE DEPARTMENT DENY THE VERACITY OF THE IRAQI TRANSCRIPT OF THE MEETING?

pur1.32754074680368What was the last about instructions?
pur1.32754074680368Where do we go from here?
pur1.32754074680368Who is your note- taker for the meeting?
pur1.32754074680368Who made that decision?
pur1.32754074680368Why was I not speaking out previously?
pur1.32754074680368You did n’t see one?
pur1.32754074680368You started when?
pur1.32754074680368Your expertise is in the Middle East, is it not?
pur1.32754077082406And how much is that?
pur1.32754077082406And secondly, he talks about the international community; what is he referring to?
pur1.32754077082406And the oil revenues?
pur1.32754077082406And this includes former military?
pur1.32754077082406And what is the plan across a number of areas?
pur1.32754077082406Are there ministries that you would consider functioning?
pur1.32754077082406Are there new textbooks that will be available to every Iraqi child the next school year, as AID planned?
pur1.32754077082406Can I answer your earlier question, Senator?
pur1.32754077082406Can I ask for a point of clarification?
pur1.32754077082406Can you tell me what they are?
pur1.32754077082406Can you tell us which ones?
pur1.32754077082406Did we get the electricity on or was that the Brits?
pur1.32754077082406Do we have an estimate of the cost?
pur1.32754077082406Does anybody have a name for who that person is?
pur1.32754077082406Has that process begun?
pur1.32754077082406How are we going to get Iraqis back to work, including former military per- sonnel?
pur1.32754077082406How is education to Iraqi children being managed?
pur1.32754077082406How much do you have to spend to get the oil on line?
pur1.32754077082406I mean, was it you guys, was it AID who did this, or the Brits?
pur1.32754077082406If we're able to generate close to 3.5 and perhaps more in the near future, would that glut the market?
pur1.32754077082406So what is the cost of that, of our current deployment?
pur1.32754077082406They ask, are we really staying the course and is there longevity to this?
pur1.32754077082406Was the bulk of that led by AID?
pur1.32754077082406What are the working estimates for the cost of reconstruction?
pur1.32754077082406What efforts are being made to rebuild the justice system?
pur1.32754077082406What ministries are up and run- ning now, if any, and which ones are the priorities to get up and running?
pur1.32754077082406What's going to replace the Oil- For- Food program when it's phased out over the next six months?

pst.000063523386And I was going to ask you why not Kuwait?
pst.000063523386And does it prove a point that there may be other elements to this picture that are unique and different?
pst.000063523386And why do they want it to go badly?
pst.000063523386Are really, are these other groups more in control of the future of Iraq than those who are in the government today?
pst.000063523386Are you familiar with a brigade called the “ Wolf Brigade ”?

pst.000063523386But on what condi- tion do we want that?
pst.000063523386But the second issue is, does the revenue sharing formula fix the problem for the Sunni Arabs?
pst.000063523386But this is a privilege for the Shia?
pst.000063523386Could you make that statement again?
pst.000063523386Did Mohammed Atta, the lead hijacker, meet with Iraqi intelligence?
pst.000063523386Has it been frustrating in the extreme?

pst.000063523386In the long run, is there a possibility of a stable Iraq?
pst.000063523386Is it amnesty?
pst.000063523386Is it corruption?
pst.000063523386Is it dealing with electricity?
pst.000063523386Is it debaatification?
pst.000063523386Is it federalism?
pst.000063523386Is it the militia control?
pst.000063523386Is it the oil revenue sharing?
pst.000063523386Maybe you could expand it to tell me how Turkey would react to a Kurdish state and how Syria would react?
pst.000063523386September 15, 2006 Today's hearing seeks to explore the question, what are the consequences of leaving Iraq?
pst.000063523386So I guess the question for all of us, and, Mr. Ajami, I ask you, how do we know when we have reached the point where Iraq has fallen apart?
pst.000063523386So then your point was that then there would be a movement toward independence?
pst.000063523386Stay the course?
pst.000063523386That was a disgraceful thing that we did, but guess who else did not come to the rescue of the Shia of the southern Iraq?
pst.000063523386Was that the right place to make a stand against Arab radical- ism?
pst.000063523386Were there some real stakes in Iraq?
pst.000063523386What are the consequences of leaving Iraq?
pst.000063523386What are they doing in Baghdad?
pst.000063523386What do they govern?
pst.000063523386What do we do?
pst.000063523386What has Iraq meant to Kurdistan?
pst.000063523386What is a civil war?
pst.000063523386Which is?
pst.000063523386Which part would you like?
pst.000063523386Which will be the most difficult to re- solve then?
pst.000063523386Who is the majority?
pst.000063523386Why are the Kurds given less credit than Croatians or Slovenians who voted on independence?
pst.000063523386Why is successful power- sharing to end civil wars so rare?
pst.000063523386You said if there is n't the elec- tion referendum, you said, different things, can you be for more specific?
uc1.312100106929506 planation for why our relations with our coalition partners appear to have deteriorated this much?
uc1.31210010692950But what is the next step?
uc1.31210010692950Can you give me some of your thoughts on that?
uc1.31210010692950Can you tell us why you think it is not verifiable and never will be in terms complete assurance that we can verify chemical weapons?
uc1.31210010692950Could you be a little bit more specific?
uc1.31210010692950Did we consult sufficiently, or were we simply un- able to persuade and convince?
uc1.31210010692950Did we try and keep the coali- tion together?
uc1.31210010692950Have you discussed with Secretary Christopher the efforts which were made to get those allies, both publicly and Priº, to join us?
uc1.31210010692950How far do we go?
uc1.31210010692950I think we need to know what the end game is here, and you have had an 17 calation might be?
uc1.31210010692950In your view, should our policy be one of contain- ment or one of removal or both, and if the latter, what means should be undertaken?
uc1.31210010692950In your view, what § § response would constitute overwhelming military force?
uc1.31210010692950May not have been what, sir?
uc1.31210010692950Should we give up on that effort, or should we kind of put it on the back burner?
uc1.31210010692950So you have not concluded which of those two things it was?
uc1.31210010692950So you think it was appropriate for the United States Senate to pass a resolution supporting the troops as we did?
uc1.31210010692950Supporting our troops?
uc1.31210010692950Suppose that we do that, and then a few days later he again paints our aircraft with radar, SAM ’s are fired at us, what is the follow- on?
uc1.31210010692950What I have said was, did we not consult sufficiently, or was there simply an inability to persuade and convince?
uc1.31210010692950What impact does that have on our relations with those coun- tries, and their tendency towards adventurism?
uc1.31210010692950What should we do relative to that effort, given these recent events?
uc1.31210010692950What would your response be to that?
uc1.31210010692950Would I have advised that we do that?
uc1.31210010692950Would that be accurate?
uc1.31210010692950Would those be relevant factors?
uc1.31210010692950Would you just talk a little bit about that, please?

umn.31951d02855377p- What is it that we need to do that perhaps different from the conversation, the discussion today?
umn.31951d02855377pAm I mistaken in the view?
umn.31951d02855377pAnd I appreciate the fact that you brought up, you know, are we a military at war are we a nation at war?
umn.31951d02855377pAnd maybe we can start with Dr. Biddle and go down the list?
umn.31951d02855377pAnd what do you feel that the Congress has really missed in all this?
umn.31951d02855377pAnybody else want to comment on the same question?
umn.31951d02855377pAre they starting to get the concept?
umn.31951d02855377pBut are there any effective U.S. countermeasures to that?
umn.31951d02855377pHow are we going to leave?
umn.31951d02855377pHow do we get them into talks to make them un- derstand we need to leave to leave this place without it going to hell?
umn.31951d02855377pHow do you think the enemy is not going to obtain that plan as well and make it even more devastating?
umn.31951d02855377pI think that is what much of this we are all grappling with, what is the best plan?
umn.31951d02855377pIs this a different way of dealing with the enemy?
umn.31951d02855377pOr do you just think that they want to see that happen?
umn.31951d02855377pP*,*"o?
umn.31951d02855377pSo here is my question — because we are going to get out — what are we going to leave?
umn.31951d02855377pSo how many would just a few be?
umn.31951d02855377pWe recognize what they are doing but how do we oppose that?
umn.31951d02855378nA big question on the death toll is, can people become refugees?
umn.31951d02855378nAnd how much is because they hate al Qaeda?
umn.31951d02855378nBut is that partly what you are saying?
umn.31951d02855378nDoes that count in a death toll from the war or is that a death toll from bad water?
umn.31951d02855378nHow have you been able to do that?
umn.31951d02855378nHow much is because they hate us?
umn.31951d02855378nI am sorry, the what will be little affected?
umn.31951d02855378nI do n’t think that our result of what we studied was 12********-a-- water?
umn.31951d02855378nIt is my understanding that your considered judgment is that the sequela in Iraq will be little affected by when we leave?
umn.31951d02855378nMr. Akin, shall we resume first round and come back with sec- ond round and then we will go first with you?
umn.31951d02855378nNow, can you read me those numbers?
umn.31951d02855378nNow, if you would put opposite each of those four the percentage of the present violence we see in Iraq, which is attributable to each of those four?
umn.31951d02855378nSo the question to me is not can we allow this to happen, but are we willing to pay the cost to do so?
umn.31951d02855378nThe question to me is, where are U.S. forces going to be?
umn.31951d02855378nWhat is it?
umn.31951d02855378nWhat per- cent of the violence is because they hate each other?
umn.31951d02855378nWhat role are we going to play?
umn.31951d02855378nWould the civil war become wide- spread?

pst.000020340032Aino TO going 60 The question is: Are the objectives that we want to achieve best achieved by going to war?
pst.000020340032And the question is: Can we stick it out if we take offensive action at this point?
pst.000020340032And then why did he go wrong after November 8?
pst.000020340032And what happens exactly when the tyrant is brought down?
pst.000020340032Are they self- reinforcing?
pst.000020340032But you have a citation, you have a source for that?
pst.000020340032But, may I say one comment again about the President's deci- sion?
pst.000020340032But, the question is: Will going to war cause less human suffering, or will it cause more?
pst.000020340032Can that be forged?
pst.000020340032Can they be effective in this instance in actually inducing Saddam Hussein to withdraw from Kuwait?
pst.000020340032Can we be certain that Iraqi pilots or saboteurs can not wreak some damage on Saudi facilities?
pst.000020340032Congressman Upton has said: What kind of a timeframe would it be before something like the missile capability is significantly eroded?
pst.000020340032Could I just interject there?
pst.000020340032Does preclusive purchasing or preemptive buying play a role?
pst.000020340032Does science and technology hold out any possibility of identify- ing where smuggling is taking place?
pst.000020340032First, can we hold the coalition together over time to keep the sanctions in place?
pst.000020340032How can we further reduce the flow of strategic spare parts and what- not into Iraq, which we have already reduced almost to the vanishing point?
pst.000020340032How can we improve the effectiveness of sanctions with a state of military preparedness?
pst.000020340032How did they use their influence?
pst.000020340032How many U.S. aircraft?
pst.000020340032How much will war cost?
pst.000020340032How will Iraqi oil facilities survive American carpet bombing?
pst.000020340032How will pursuit of the so called war option assure future oil supplies?
pst.000020340032How would this benefit modern Arab regimes or Israel?
pst.000020340032I mean, on your point, when you quoted Haereditas, I think, was it that you quoted?
pst.000020340032If you ca n't make them work here, where are you going to make them work?
pst.000020340032Iraq was getting its arms from both sides, was n't it?
pst.000020340032Is n't that correct?
pst.000020340032Is that correct?
pst.000020340032Is that not correct?
pst.000020340032Is that true?
pst.000020340032Is the likelihood of, as they say, a quick military attack consist- ent with the goal of sanctions, and the goal of stability in the Middle East?
pst.000020340032Is there a role for the West Germans and the Japanese in easing the cost of sanctions to our allies, to Egypt and Turkey, for in- stance?
pst.000020340032It's friends that would include Syria?
pst.000020340032May I make one comment?
pst.000020340032Mr. Chairman, could I add to that so the wit- nesses can be thinking?
pst.000020340032Now, the question becomes: How effective will that be and when will it achieve its purpose?
pst.000020340032Only a handful of developed, so- called advanced countries would have to be in on this firm decision?
pst.000020340032Or, are they intellectually at odds with each other?
pst.000020340032Or, can we stick it out by following the cautious, controlled, and effective course that my colleagues have suggested?
pst.000020340032Or, is it fundamentally at odds with the goal of peace in the Middle East?
pst.000020340032So, adding that in, are you telling us that that goal could be achieved by sanctions?
pst.000020340032That's a difficult question because it depends upon perception in Iraq: are we doing to be able to maintain this economic blockade?
pst.000020340032Their overproduction that they've done at inflated price?
pst.000020340032There is one thing that I want to say about war, and Senator Sarbanes hit on it?
pst.000020340032This is a perfect test case, is n't it, for making sanctions work?
pst.000020340032Three and a half million or 242 million?
pst.000020340032To what degree can we fortify and enhance the likelihood that sanctions will work?
pst.000020340032Until how recently?
pst.000020340032Was it as a moderating, thoughtful influence?
pst.000020340032We will consider the question, are sanctions effective?
pst.000020340032Well, but their capacity will diminish, will it not?
pst.000020340032Well, what is it about this situation that now prevents on order countermanning the movement of the trains, as occurred in August 1914?
pst.000020340032What are our long- term goals in the Middle East?
pst.000020340032What are the consequences of destroying the Iraqi military ma- chine?
pst.000020340032What can sanctions be expected to achieve, and how long will it take to achieve it?
pst.000020340032What do we get for the war- making exercise?
pst.000020340032What does history tell us about sanctions in coercing change in a country's major policies?
pst.000020340032What is our goal in establishing sanctions?
pst.000020340032What is the El- Tani family that owns Gittar?
pst.000020340032What is the relation- ship between sanctions and a quick, perhaps surgical, military thrust?
pst.000020340032What is your theory as to why they've gone on this approach?
pst.000020340032What price glory?
pst.000020340032What's the response to that?
pst.000020340032What's your speculation on why we have n't followed this course that has been outlined here, which seems to me to make imminent good sense?
pst.000020340032When you're talking about the wind- fall, that is oil revenues from the West and the industrialized world?
pst.000020340032Where contraband is slipping into Iraq?
pst.000020340032Will sanctions help us achieve them, perhaps more effectively than a military strike?
pst.000020340032Would anybody like to challenge me on that?
pst.000020340032Would n't that have been a better result?
pst.000020340032You're saying that Kuwait's suffering is no reason to commit American troops, hundreds of thousands of them to a ground war?
umn.31951d038001015After we are at the 60-day mark, which authorizing force will the President use?
umn.31951d038001015And what is the most immediate threat to the United States and to our allies?
umn.31951d038001015Because I am almost out of time, are there items or requests that went unfulfilled?
umn.31951d038001015Can you just, or Mr. McGurk, can you also assist me in under- standing this?
umn.31951d038001015Could you give me your opinion of the war in Iraq, the invasion of 2003, and how that relates to the rise of ISIL?
umn.31951d038001015Did we respond to it in an affirmative way?
umn.31951d038001015First, could you ex- plain what makes the ISIL terrorists such a greater threat than the other terrorists that we hear about all the time?
umn.31951d038001015How long have they been over there?
umn.31951d038001015Is he going to try and use Iraqi AUMF or is he going to try to use the GWOT AUMF?
umn.31951d038001015Is that true?
umn.31951d038001015It is not going to be very prudent if they all get killed before we do something now is it?
umn.31951d038001015Ms. Slotkin, do you know?
umn.31951d038001015Ms. Slotkin?
umn.31951d038001015My question is how far back should we go?
umn.31951d038001015So how are we going to meet the challenge?
umn.31951d038001015So the question there with regards to Bakr al- Baghdadi, did we in any way see this coming?
umn.31951d038001015Under what au- thority is the President deploying this force?
umn.31951d038001015We put all this money into training them and they ca n't even defend a sec- tion of their own country?
umn.31951d038001015What did we do with all that money that we put to train all these people?
umn.31951d038001015What do we need to do?
umn.31951d038001015What is the most recent activity the Obama administration has taken to have Iraq cease these flights?
umn.31951d038001015Where did we go wrong with these people?
umn.31951d038001015Which one is going to, because I mean which one are we looking to use?
umn.31951d038001015Why was he released to be allowed to go and re- form or to form ISIS and to do the terrible things they are doing today?
umn.31951d038001015Would ISIS have grown as it did?
umn.31951d038001015Would the opposition have been able to apply enough pressure to Assad to compel him to a diplo- matic transition?
umn.31951d038001015You are trying to figure that out?

pst.000063508048How is this changing over time?
pst.000063508048How many Iraqi security force personnel, by rank and specialty, are on the job at any given time, again, by force type and locality?
pst.000063508048How, if at all, do violence rates correlate with the sorts of forces deployed in localities?
pst.000063508048How, if at all, do violence rates correlate with the training local units receive?
pst.000063508048I would think as well that Iraqis, like all of us, would be per- suaded by the here and now on what they are perceiving to be their 30 Yes?
pst.000063508048If we do n't know the total numbers, what do we know?
pst.000063508048Is it a good training mechanism to actually do what you are supposed to be doing?
pst.000063508048Is it a good way to train them, one, and two, if it works well, is that some measure of the fact that they are effective?
pst.000063508048Is that correct, that being the case?
pst.000063508048Is there any known or perceived variation by ethnicity and religion in any of these figures?
pst.000063508048Is there any real or perceived variation by ethnicity and religion?

pst.000063508048May I just make a quick remark?
pst.000063508048May I make a comment?
pst.000063508048Mr. Chairman, can I just follow up quickly?
pst.000063508048Ms. Oliker, the most significant obstacle?
pst.000063508048One of the things we can learn from the development world is that you could have smart conditionality and you can have dumb condi- tionality, right?
pst.000063508048Quality: I think you have a sense of who the different forces are, right?
pst.000063508048So is it possible to reform it from the inside?
pst.000063508048So it is a bit of a catch 22, right?
pst.000063508048So my first question is: Is there anybody here who is advising a quick withdrawal from Iraq?
pst.000063508048So you do not think the president's January 2008 timetable is realistic?
pst.000063508048The people that we are picking up and detaining, are they the right people?
pst.000063508048The second thing is: Is it a good measure of the success of the ISF?
pst.000063508048The timetable for what?
pst.000063508048There are all sorts of things wrong with that, but the problem is still how do you get civilians out there?
pst.000063508048There clearly is 35 Who were the people who were the civilians in this?
pst.000063508048To what extent have they mapped these issues?
pst.000063508048Was there anything else you would like to say?
pst.000063508048Well, I guess the question really is: How are we going to get se- curity?
pst.000063508048What Are They Fighting For?
pst.000063508048What access have Coalition forces sought, and what access have they received, to various detention facilities?
pst.000063508048What are Iraqi and coalition assessments on the deployability of various Iraqi units?
pst.000063508048What are absentee rates in various units, structures, and regions and what are the reasons for absence?
pst.000063508048What are desertion, death, and injury rates in various units, structures, and regions?
pst.000063508048What are recruitment rates in various units, structures, and regions over time?

pst.000063508048What causes any delays in deployment?
pst.000063508048What do you be- lieve would be good measures of effectiveness for both the ISF and the U.S. advisor teams supporting them?
pst.000063508048What is their assessment of those facilities and what progress is being made to build new facilities and improve old ones?
pst.000063508048What sorts of forces receive what tips, and are the tips correlated with increases or decreases in violence?
pst.000063508048What vetting procedures are in place, and how are they being implemented?
pst.000063508048When abuses are discovered, how are they investigated and what happens to the perpetrators?
pst.000063508048Who Are the Iraqi Security Forces?
pst.000063508048Why does policing make a difference?
pst.000063508048Would you say that that is fair, Dr. Cordesman?
pst.000063508048Would you use cutting forces for Iraqi Security Forces as lever- age?
pst.000063508048You do not have to mention any names, but has anybody heard of a plan not to do that since you uniformly seemed not to believe that that is possible?
pst.000063508048You mean a plan other than the strategy that is cur- rently under way?
pst.000063508048is it important to know how many Iraqis are serving?

pst.000021574627Admiral Cramer, in view of the Vance- Owen peace talks in Geneva, what do the Croatians hope to achieve with that current offensive?
pst.000021574627Admiral, how long have you been in the Navy?
pst.000021574627Am I correct on that, General?
pst.000021574627Am I not correct on that?
pst.000021574627Am I reading that last bullet right up there, where it says, now most violations are resupply flights to Croatian to Muslims?
pst.000021574627And General?
pst.000021574627And how many U.S. forces do you believe will need to remain in the residual force?
pst.000021574627And if so, how long would it take?
pst.000021574627And if we are not going to contribute the ground troops — and I certainly do not want to do it — but if we are not, who is?
pst.000021574627And what is the likely reaction of other countries?
pst.000021574627And what is your best estimate of when that can be accomplished?
pst.000021574627And what sort of approximation of size?
pst.000021574627And which side are they going to join?
pst.000021574627Any change in that mission as the administration shifts from President Bush to President Clinton?
pst.000021574627Any ground missiles fired?
pst.000021574627Are they developing any kind of defensive re- sources of their own?
pst.000021574627Are they working with Egypt?
pst.000021574627Are we not flying a lot of the aircraft, some of the aircraft at least, for some of the relief into Belgrade?
pst.000021574627Are you able here in an open session to identify which countries have provided logistical support to either, be it Croatian or Serbian or Bosnian?
pst.000021574627Are you going to essentially reduce the Serbs'capability to wage war?
pst.000021574627Are you saying it would have no military effect?
pst.000021574627But have you ever seen the young men in the military better equipped, better motivated today than in the years previous in your career, either of you?
pst.000021574627But how long will they remain the best if we cut the defense budget too deeply?
pst.000021574627But really, is the program working so that we really are stopping the starvation?
pst.000021574627But the rules of engagement would be the en- forcement rules of engagement?
pst.000021574627But what do you think would be the military result of that?
pst.000021574627Do either of you have any information at all as to that mystery that seems to be still con- founding us?
pst.000021574627Do the Marines there have night vision equipment?
pst.000021574627Do they stay in cantonment areas?
pst.000021574627Do we destroy them?
pst.000021574627Do you agree with it?
pst.000021574627General Johnston is both U.S. com- mander and U.N. commander?
pst.000021574627General, have there been any actual missiles fired at our aircraft, or has it all been AAA fire?
pst.000021574627Give or take a few years, near 30?
pst.000021574627Has it been decisive?
pst.000021574627Has it been militarily de- cisive?
pst.000021574627Has it knocked out Saddam Hussein?
pst.000021574627Have I supported the enforcement?
pst.000021574627Have our commands and has NATO prepared contingency plans for military action, either enforcing the no- fly zone or otherwise, in Bosnia?
pst.000021574627Have the warlords or the bandits been put out of business, or are they simply lying in wait until U.S. and U.N. forces pull out?
pst.000021574627I am just saying might it be a legitimate military objective?
pst.000021574627I am not asking what the plans are; I am just asking have plans been produced?
pst.000021574627I be- lieve we are at Senator Warner?
pst.000021574627I believe that this is Admiral Cramer's first appearance before the commit- tee, correct?
pst.000021574627I believe you plan to start on Somalia, is that right?
pst.000021574627I guess my question is, what has happened to that goal?
pst.000021574627Is it a legitimate objective to weaken the capabil- ity of the Bosnian Serbs?
pst.000021574627Is it important?
pst.000021574627Is that right?
pst.000021574627Is that right?
pst.000021574627Is that right?
pst.000021574627Is that widespread or was that isolated — are you famil- iar with what I am referencing?
pst.000021574627Is the JCS familiar with Shali's position on enforcement of the no- fly zone?
pst.000021574627Is there a pre- cise definition as to what is the Yugoslavian National Army?
pst.000021574627Let us just say Kuwait right now, could Kuwait protect itself, even from what is left of the Iraqi forces without the United States coming back in?
pst.000021574627Might it be a legitimate military objective to weaken the military capability of Serbia itself?
pst.000021574627Might it be a legitimate objective to act in a way which would weaken the will of Serbia to continue to support the Serbs in Bosnia?
pst.000021574627Might it be a legitimate objective to weaken the ability of Serbia to resupply the Serbian Army in Bosnia?
pst.000021574627Might it be a legitimate objective to weaken the military capability of the Bos- nian Serbs?
pst.000021574627Might it be a legitimate objective to weaken the will of Serbia to support the Bosnian Serbs?
pst.000021574627Might it be?
pst.000021574627Mike, do you have anything?
pst.000021574627Mr. Chairman, would you yield?
pst.000021574627My question is, was he equipped with night vision goggles?
pst.000021574627Now currently we have a dual hatted commander out there, is that not correct?
pst.000021574627Now, if you divide those four missions up, when we leave, who is going to perform mission number one?
pst.000021574627Now, the third one is an ongoing, am I correct?
pst.000021574627Now, what do I mean by that?
pst.000021574627Now, when we leave troops there, as you are proposing to do in much reduced numbers, are we going to be placing those troops under U.N. command?
pst.000021574627Or do we want Japan to develop an amphibious landing capability?
pst.000021574627Since undertaking this major operation, have any significant weaknesses in our execution of the operation been identified?
pst.000021574627So my question to you, Admiral: As we continuously search in our own minds why, why, why, this killing and rape and pillage, is there any answer?
pst.000021574627So that we would be under U.N. command?
pst.000021574627So those weapons, then, are still owned by, controlled by the factions?
pst.000021574627The question, I believe, was: Could the Iraqi forces overrun Kuwait?
pst.000021574627To conserve time, you have heard the reports that I have heard about these soldiers being ill- affected, have you not?
pst.000021574627Was that not part of your question?
pst.000021574627What are they doing?
pst.000021574627What happens to the weapons at the end of all of this?
pst.000021574627What is the capability of these groups to replenish their supply of weapons?
pst.000021574627What is your best estimate now as to when the necessary forces, not simply numbers but the right forces, will be there to replace U.S. forces?
pst.000021574627What is your best estimate, based on the commitments you already know about?
pst.000021574627What nations are overtly or covertly supplying the various fac- tions that are now fighting?
pst.000021574627What were the steps prior to the decision to insert our forces into Somalia, in terms of integration with other U.N. military forces?
pst.000021574627Where are we going with these weapons?
pst.000021574627Where does this lead?
pst.000021574627Would Kuwait and the other Gulf States be able to put up a defense even against the remnants of what is left from Iraq without us?
pst.000021574627Would that be reasonable?
pst.000021574627Would the Chair entertain trying to look into this, how quickly this record can be made available to the public?
pst.000021574627Would the U.N. commander have command over our U.S. commander in that context?
pst.000021574627Would you elaborate on that when you start out?
pst.000021574627Would you get it for the record?
pst.000021574627You do not know anything about that?

mdp.39015090412597Along that same line, General, do you take into account the strain on the American forces in your recommendations to redeploy from Iraq?
mdp.39015090412597Am I totally wrong there, or are there some lessons we can learn about why we need to be prudent in the days ahead?
mdp.39015090412597Ambassador, that jobs and economic security are the basis of a strong Iraq?
mdp.39015090412597Ambassador?
mdp.39015090412597And how much of a strategic risk to America should we expect to assume be- fore we see real progress?
mdp.39015090412597And how much of the Iraqi army do you believe will really be ready to operate independently within the time frame, that is, by December of this year?
mdp.39015090412597And if we are, how long can such a reconstituted surge be sus- tained, in your opinion?
mdp.39015090412597Are n't the people at the most senior levels the one whose participation in political negotiations is the most important?
mdp.39015090412597Are we going to reinstate the surge?
mdp.39015090412597Are we really choosing sides between the Badr brigades and the Mahdi army, and if so, why do we perceive that to be in our interest?
mdp.39015090412597As Iraqi forces throughout the country begin to mature, how do you see the U.S. military role evolving?
mdp.39015090412597At what point do we — do you make recommendations to start going into the 15 bri- gades?
mdp.39015090412597At what point, General, will you recommend re- deployment of additional forces beyond the several brigades that are a part of the so- called surge?
mdp.39015090412597Because this is the question to you: If, by chance, that he would bar al- Sadr's group from the political process, what would be the results of that?
mdp.39015090412597But if we are going to look at that$ 1 trillion, then we probably should also ask at the same time, how much is 3,000 lives worth?
mdp.39015090412597Can Iraq develop into a united stable country with a democratically elected government operating under the rule of law?
mdp.39015090412597Can you foresee the reduction beyond the 15?
mdp.39015090412597Can you give us your thoughts on Iran's role/ actions should American forces with- draw over the next year?
mdp.39015090412597Can you share some success stories?
mdp.39015090412597Can you tell us, beyond the American contractual employment, how many market sustainable jobs have been created in the last 12 months?
mdp.39015090412597Can you think of an instance in which that is true, and are we using that leverage appropriately?
mdp.39015090412597Could one of you quickly touch on the issue of the side that we are choosing in the Shi'a fac- tion, and then why that is in our interest?
mdp.39015090412597Could you expand on the Sons of Iraq and how that is helping us?
mdp.39015090412597Could you repeat that?
mdp.39015090412597Could you tell us, what your — with the$ 70 billion, what the likely supplemental request for this year is?
mdp.39015090412597Do you agree with the Jones Commission that the Iraqi army is not ready to be independent in 12 to 18 months?
mdp.39015090412597Do you have a judgment as to how many bri- gades of that 15, as you look at those certain areas, could be rede- ployed?
mdp.39015090412597Do you see this as a vehicle for lever- age that would actually bring about a result that would not occur were it not for the agreement?
mdp.39015090412597Does he take you into discussion as it re- lates to political decisions that are going to be forthcoming?
mdp.39015090412597First of all, has the security situation on the ground in Iraq changed so much that we can actually start pulling back the surge forces?
mdp.39015090412597From what to what, sir?
mdp.39015090412597General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker, What role does the United States play in the negotiations between Prime Minister Maliki and Muqtada al- Sadr?
mdp.39015090412597General, could you please comment a little bit on the morale of our troops and their families, how they feel about the mission?
mdp.39015090412597How do we precipitate, how do we cause that to happen so that the Iraqis say, We are going to be ready by this date?
mdp.39015090412597How do we work that out; and if you will, just kind of ex- plain the dynamic of that?
mdp.39015090412597How do you control him?
mdp.39015090412597How do you do that?
mdp.39015090412597How do you see that situation playing out?
mdp.39015090412597How do you think Iranian leaders have changed their view of Maliki, if at all?
mdp.39015090412597How does the State Department measure the effectiveness of their commu- nications?
mdp.39015090412597How many battalions now have a modicum of combat experience, and how do you rate them?
mdp.39015090412597How much is 30,000 lives worth?
mdp.39015090412597How much of the apparent success of the surge is attributable to this stand- down?
mdp.39015090412597How often do you have communications with the Iraqi govern- mental leadership, especially Prime Minister Maliki?
mdp.39015090412597How satisfied are you with the inter- agency role/ assistance and how do you measure the effectiveness?
mdp.39015090412597How should the Congress respond to that kind of com- ment?
mdp.39015090412597I guess the big debate right now, the big question is, what, if anything, happens through a precipitous withdrawal?
mdp.39015090412597If that is the case, can you predict what the unemployment rate will be one year from now, Mr. Ambas- sador?
mdp.39015090412597In light of this reality, what can be done to accelerate the process of training, equipping and transfer- ring responsibility to the Iraqi forces?
mdp.39015090412597Irrespective of what has happened in Basra?
mdp.39015090412597Is that a great concern to you?
mdp.39015090412597Is that correct?
mdp.39015090412597Is that not correct?
mdp.39015090412597Is there a plan for keeping al- Sadr at bay?
mdp.39015090412597Is this something you two will weigh in your consideration as to what we should do for our continued deployment?
mdp.39015090412597Now how long do you believe the ground forces can sustain the current operational tempo and the pace of deployment?
mdp.39015090412597Should there be more oversight and involvement on the part of the United States?
mdp.39015090412597Should we devote more re- sources to it?
mdp.39015090412597Sixty- six percent say “ oppose. ” All in all, do you think this situation in Iraq was worth going to war over or not?
mdp.39015090412597Sixty- two percent say “ stayed out. ” Do you favor or oppose the U.S. war in Iraq?
mdp.39015090412597So do you factor that in in terms of how we reach ultimate concil- iation with Iran, and also with the various Shi'a factions?
mdp.39015090412597So if at any point in the 45-day pause security dete- riorates, what does that mean?
mdp.39015090412597So what is our long- term strategy there?
mdp.39015090412597So what is our strat- egy for the future?
mdp.39015090412597So what is the new strategy?
mdp.39015090412597So where do we go from here?
mdp.39015090412597The Iraqi parliament has not passed a hydrocarbon law since Sep- tember, has it?
mdp.39015090412597The discussions that we have here is, how do we resource everything we need to do?
mdp.39015090412597The second question is, what happens if the security situation changes during the so called 45-day pause?
mdp.39015090412597There have not been pro- vincial elections yet, have there?
mdp.39015090412597What are the PRTs'specific objectives, 33 and how are you measuring the performance of PRTs in meeting those objectives in Iraq?
mdp.39015090412597What contingency plans do we have?
mdp.39015090412597What do we do about those who did n't fight or ran away?
mdp.39015090412597What do you see happening?
mdp.39015090412597What do you see there, General?
mdp.39015090412597What have the operations in Basrah done to bolster Maliki's role as a nationalist leader?
mdp.39015090412597What is the Iraqi capability to deal with that?
mdp.39015090412597What is the enemy situation?
mdp.39015090412597What is the state of play right now in Basra in terms of territory held by the antigovernment forces?
mdp.39015090412597What is your best judgment?
mdp.39015090412597What leverage do you have on the Iraqi Govern- ment to take the training wheels off and to get on with its task?
mdp.39015090412597What types of logistic and"enabling"capabilities can the Iraqi forces provide, and what is the timeline for development of these capabilities?
mdp.39015090412597What types of support will we be asked to provide?
mdp.39015090412597What we tend to look at more is, are they capable of being in the lead, which is more based on demonstrated performance?
mdp.39015090412597What will be those conditions?
mdp.39015090412597What would you advise the President as to who could be avail- able and how we would begin that engagement?
mdp.39015090412597Why should the American people wait five more minutes for that to happen?
mdp.39015090412597Why would we not have a say in that as being pro- posed?
mdp.39015090412597Will you reinstate the surge?
mdp.39015090412597Would you agree with that?
mdp.39015090412597Would you have charts available on all of those indications of services available to the Iraqi people?
mdp.39015090412597You are not concerned that Basra could be the string that would start unraveling the rest of the frag- ile stability that you talked about?

pur1.327540775774624 Finally, what is realistic to expect for their petroleum industry, both in terms of magnitude and timing?
pur1.32754077577462And are those nominal dollars, or are those real dollars?
pur1.32754077577462And how do we create an edge?
pur1.32754077577462Are they monthly taking on more and more responsibility for the economy decisionmaking?
pur1.32754077577462Are we a legitimate marketplace?
pur1.32754077577462But how many workers were there and how much should t ey be paid?
pur1.32754077577462But in terms of rebuilding their economy, is that not something that they should shoulder more of the burden of themselves?
pur1.32754077577462But in the opinions of the three of you, where do you think some of the greatest potential rests for their economy, exports, jobs, development?
pur1.32754077577462But there are a lot of questions that we had to address: How many workers were there?
pur1.32754077577462Can you explain to the Subcommittee why the CPA may be 87 purchasing food from countries that did not participate in coalition activities?
pur1.32754077577462Can you give us an update on where we are and how effective those meetings that the Secretary has had over the last 2 months have been?
pur1.32754077577462Could I just interrupt?
pur1.32754077577462Could you tell us a little bit about how the Administration is going to fill that gap and where that money is going to come from?
pur1.32754077577462Do you know currently what the unemployment rate is in Iraq?
pur1.32754077577462Do you know if that is right or wrong?
pur1.32754077577462Do you know if that story yesterday attracted the attention of senior policymakers in Iraq?
pur1.32754077577462Do you think Ambassador Designate Francke just does not understand all that, or do you think she has a legiti- mate point?
pur1.32754077577462Does Iraq have enough food to last until June 2004, and if not, how are the food purchases going to be handled until then?
pur1.32754077577462First, what burden is it appropriate to ask the U.S. taxpayers to pay in this undertaking?
pur1.32754077577462For example, does significant debt reduction have to have been accom- plished?
pur1.32754077577462Higher than the$ 78 billion?
pur1.32754077577462How could we prevent hyperinflation and a sharp de reciation of the cur- rency, which would further impoverish people?
pur1.32754077577462How could we prevent hyperinflation, sharp depreciation of the currency, which would further impoverish the Iraqi people?
pur1.32754077577462How does this play into deci- sionmaking, sharing with allies that would send money and troops?
pur1.32754077577462How is this equitable?
pur1.32754077577462How long do you expect it is going to take them to get back up to where they were 25 years ago?
pur1.32754077577462How many sole- source noncompetitive contracts are there?
pur1.32754077577462How much should they be paid?
pur1.32754077577462I can not?
pur1.32754077577462In your opinions, where do you believe the most significant potential pros- pects lie in Iraq for exports, employment over the next few years?
pur1.32754077577462Is it not fair for those who did not pay for the cost of liberation to not now help with the cost of peace by removing some of this debt burden?
pur1.32754077577462Is that part of Secretary Baker ’s portfolio?
pur1.32754077577462Is that right?
pur1.32754077577462Is that what you are going to get back with me on?
pur1.32754077577462Is that what you said?
pur1.32754077577462Is that, in your estimate, an accurate assessment?
pur1.32754077577462Is there some difficulty within the Governing Council as to why they have not approved it yet?
pur1.32754077577462Maybe a timetable on where we go next, when debt relief is actually going to be worked out, worked 91 through?
pur1.32754077577462Mr. Brown, do you want to add anything?
pur1.32754077577462On a scale ranging from enthusiastic to tepid, how would you characterize their response today?
pur1.32754077577462Or if it is not, how would you go about as- sessing the cost of reconstruction?
pur1.32754077577462Peter, would you want to comment on any of this?
pur1.32754077577462Power generation in Iraq is now back ll? ‘ plre- v€%r;8-.6/ els( 4,023 MW oil; February 5).
pur1.32754077577462Second, what about debt cancellation?
pur1.32754077577462Senator Stabenow, would you like to add any comments?
pur1.32754077577462So there are ongoing meetings working toward what you have just described?
pur1.32754077577462So, how will all this be financed?
pur1.32754077577462Staying on the debt issue for a moment, what range of debt re- duction do you think is possible?
pur1.32754077577462That has not inhibited the progress of private banks looking at wanting to move into Iraq?
pur1.32754077577462The prin- cipal question that I get is, Senator, why can not Iraq pay for more of this themselves?
pur1.32754077577462Well, let me go back — when you say “ at this time, ” what does that mean?
pur1.32754077577462What about the war reparation claims?
pur1.32754077577462What are the numbers of foreign contract and subcontracts awarded?
pur1.32754077577462What condition was it in?
pur1.32754077577462What cur- rency should we use to make the payments?
pur1.32754077577462What currency should be used to make the payments?
pur1.32754077577462What if anything have the largest debt holders indicated that they would be willing to do?
pur1.32754077577462What is the exact percentage of these contracts?
pur1.32754077577462What is the relationship between those two?
pur1.32754077577462What is the status of the central bank law, which if I understand it, grants independence to private banks as well as other things?
pur1.32754077577462What lessons would you note that we have learned as we are working our way along in Iraq from donor projects in Afghanistan, East Timor, and Bosnia?
pur1.32754077577462What percent- ages are we talking about?
pur1.32754077577462What structurally, institutionally is being put in place in order to assure that compliance?
pur1.32754077577462What, in fact, are they doing?
pur1.32754077577462Where do they get them?
pur1.32754077577462Where would the funds come from?
pur1.32754077577462Where would the funds come from?
pur1.32754077577462Would the pay- ments system be in good enough condition after the conflict to actually make payments?
pur1.32754077577462Would the payment system be sufficient to actu- ally make the payments?
pur1.32754077577462Would they be given the same opportunities to bid for contracts?
pur1.32754077577462Would you define more clearly what the Administration is looking for in the ways of dol- lars from our allies at that donor conference?
pur1.32754077577462You are satisfied with the progress of that ef- fort?
pur1.32754077577462You believe that the commitments made, the pledges made, have been forthcoming, are on target, and that is not an issue?
pur1.32754077577462vvhat is the status of McPherson?
pst.000063527636?
pst.000063527636About how long has it been, then, since you feel that you actually are moving in a direction that is going to accomplish results?
pst.000063527636And Arkansan?
pst.000063527636And are they bringing the skill sets that are really necessary to do that job?
pst.000063527636And are we developing, basically, the capacity to do that kind of train- ing?
pst.000063527636And how many people have we had those kinds of issues?
pst.000063527636And so the discussion might be appropriate as to, did we do the right thing?
pst.000063527636And, of course, Baghdad is, I think, a metropolitan area of 4 million people, is it not?
pst.000063527636Any other response to the testimony that you heard, that you would like us to know about, that was a concern to you, or you would like to emphasize?
pst.000063527636Anybody else want to take a quick shot at that before my nickel runs out here?
pst.000063527636Are we really equipped and organizationally set up to do things other than just military?
pst.000063527636But for all of your assurances, there really is n't a court system in Iraq now, is there?
pst.000063527636But, you know, just how do we go about this?
pst.000063527636Can you comment on that just a little bit?
pst.000063527636Could you clarify that dif- ference for me?
pst.000063527636Could you get the answer for us?
pst.000063527636Did we or did we not?
pst.000063527636Did you want to say something, Dr. Avant?
pst.000063527636Do we have people out there with those kinds of challenges that are not being dealt with by anyone's legal system?
pst.000063527636Do we have the right congressional oversight?
pst.000063527636Do we know who was coming in the front door of the JIPTC?
pst.000063527636Do we need to re- look consciously where the chop lines need to be on the variety of functions?
pst.000063527636Do we think that that is enough?
pst.000063527636Do you ever actually fire somebody?
pst.000063527636Do you have the right tools that you need to help you deal with wayward con- tractors, when someone goes awry, I mean, all those kind of things?
pst.000063527636Do you have the tools — or the financing?
pst.000063527636Do you want to send people from the Army or do you want to send contractors?
pst.000063527636Even on the State Department side?
pst.000063527636How do you set up a system to evaluate those guys or do you, I guess is a better question?
pst.000063527636How long has it been, if at all?
pst.000063527636How long has this tracking system been in place?
pst.000063527636How long has this tracking system been in place?
pst.000063527636How long has this tracking system been in place?
pst.000063527636How many Iraqi police are being trained at the facility this morning?
pst.000063527636How many peo- ple are being trained at the JIPTC this morning?
pst.000063527636How much do people know about these kinds of forces?
pst.000063527636How would we know that?
pst.000063527636I mean, how can we help sort this stuff out, not in a combative relationship?
pst.000063527636I mean, were we really providing them with what they needed?
pst.000063527636If I may, who is responsible for the recruitment of people coming into the JIPTC?
pst.000063527636In other words, how do you manage that contractor group?
pst.000063527636In that part of our re- Baathification benchmark that, you know, we want them to give these people an opportunity to come back, do we not?
pst.000063527636Is that part of the civilian corps?
pst.000063527636Is that so?
pst.000063527636Is the Department of Defense tracking through CPATT these train- ees?
pst.000063527636Is the State Department going to you for consulting on that at all?
pst.000063527636Mr. Chairman, let me just real quickly- Dr. Avant, am I pronouncing it correctly?
pst.000063527636Mr. Motsek, are we paying any of the overhead in those new facilities or are the Iraqis paying for all of it?
pst.000063527636None?
pst.000063527636Not a word from Fort Belvoir here or anything?
pst.000063527636Or do your con- tractors just work for you and you are solely responsible for that work?
pst.000063527636Second is, when this biometric database was up and running, against what was it checked?
pst.000063527636Secretary Pat- terson, what languages, foreign languages, do you speak?
pst.000063527636See Perito, The American Experience with Police; Robert Perito, Where is the Lone Ranger When You Need Him?
pst.000063527636So I guess my question is, is that true, that we are not as well- equipped to do the non- military functions?
pst.000063527636So all the Iraqi police are now being trained somewhere else in Iraq?
pst.000063527636So part of, it seems to me, what we try to do is to look at, well, do we have the right people?
pst.000063527636So you are counting a lot on contractors to help do what has to be done over there?
pst.000063527636So you are saying he is the guy to talk to?
pst.000063527636The Iraqi government is paying for these training facilities?
pst.000063527636This is after we spent$ 150 million on the facility, we are not training Iraqi police anymore?
pst.000063527636This morning?
pst.000063527636To me?
pst.000063527636Well, if the chairman will recall, the other thing that we found very disconcerting is that we asked, who was ex- pelled and on what basis?
pst.000063527636Were we providing them on the other end what is needed to be able to un- derstand the culture that they are working?
pst.000063527636What about cultural training, as well?
pst.000063527636What is the plan to address the poor literacy among ISF personnel?
pst.000063527636What is the plan to address the poor literacy rate among ISF per- sonnel?
pst.000063527636What is the plan to address the poor literacy rate among ISF per- sonnel?
pst.000063527636What is the status of those contracts?
pst.000063527636What kind of biometric tracking is now in place for recruits and graduates at the JIPTC?
pst.000063527636What kind of biometric tracking is now in place for recruits and graduates at the JIPTC?
pst.000063527636What kind of tracking for graduates is now in place for recruits and graduates at the JIPTC?
pst.000063527636What was the police situation in the country before 2003, March?
pst.000063527636Who has the authority to prosecute that person?
pst.000063527636Who is going to prosecute the person I described?
pst.000063527636Why are we still sty- mied with regard to language skills in State Department person- nel?
pst.000063527636Why do we use the private sector?
pst.000063527636Why is that?
pst.000063527636You all have your own ideas about how- how do you coordinate be- tween each other just the review of contractors?
pst.000063527636years into the war?
pst.000019702957Oh, is that so?' pst.000019702957 'Goin'to make what?' pst.000019702957 'How long will it take to get the oil aboard?' pst.000019702957 'Is the Governor in? pst.000019702957 'Oh, we do, do we? pst.000019702957 * And pwhat are ye afther wantin'now?' pst.000019702957 * What is his particular variety of trouble?' pst.000019702957 69 THE WAR IN THE CRADLE OF THE WORLD f? pst.000019702957 A Germanly inclined critic would be likely to say, And were the Germans responsible for that? pst.000019702957 A better place? pst.000019702957 About the uselessness of his affectionate care? pst.000019702957 After that what could serious- minded English- men do who were determined to see established a reign of law? pst.000019702957 Ai n't that one o'the grandest towns on earth? pst.000019702957 All in one evening? pst.000019702957 And And at such a rate, when are we likely to get to Bombay? pst.000019702957 And Nebuchadnezzar?' pst.000019702957 And at once they said to him: “ Of course our treaties with Your Highness cover the island of Singapura?' pst.000019702957 And what interest would there be in the mere routine of life, anyhow, if there were no rules to break? pst.000019702957 And where is the bally island? pst.000019702957 And why not?' pst.000019702957 And will any one ever try to estimate the value of this work? pst.000019702957 Are there any more delaying surprises? pst.000019702957 But how did a British cannon of American Revolutionary days ever get on that old Meso- potamian tower? pst.000019702957 But the Thames penny steamers? pst.000019702957 But they could n't burn that kind of thing, could they?' pst.000019702957 But what would you? pst.000019702957 But why be light- minded, altogether? pst.000019702957 Ca n't you find a better place than this to build a town?
pst.000019702957Did one want to go to the United States?
pst.000019702957Did the enemy know that the Army Commander was dead?
pst.000019702957Do the Arabs really believe in this tree?'
pst.000019702957Ever been to Vancouver?'
pst.000019702957Generous?
pst.000019702957Going to make it?'
pst.000019702957Has England smallest county?
pst.000019702957Have ye got an engagement with'i m now?'
pst.000019702957How did she get into the Shatt- el- Arab? ’ I exclaimed.
pst.000019702957How should I?
pst.000019702957How should anybody know they were there?
pst.000019702957How'd you do it, Captain?'
pst.000019702957I thought to myself, why ca n't the sen- tries just shoulder their rifles and come on aboard?
pst.000019702957I wanted to talk with him myself, because the question always in my mind was, What do the people think of it all?'
pst.000019702957I was going to Baghdad, was I not?
pst.000019702957In the name of all that was unreasonable — why?
pst.000019702957Is it a very old tree?
pst.000019702957Is n't that a Government House uniform?'
pst.000019702957Is that all?
pst.000019702957Is that not as- tonishing?
pst.000019702957Is that so?'
pst.000019702957It is not believable, is it?
pst.000019702957Just stands off by itself and belongs as much to one state as to another, eh?
pst.000019702957May I go to the front?'
pst.000019702957Nice, are n't they?'
pst.000019702957Not a necessity?
pst.000019702957Not to be able to so much as stroll with an officer down a dusty street in the open glare of noonday?
pst.000019702957Not yet satisfied after so many months?
pst.000019702957Oh, does it?
pst.000019702957Oh, that?'
pst.000019702957One rug after another was brought out and spread on the slowly accumu- lating pile on the floor, and time after time I asked, “ How much?'
pst.000019702957One wants to ask, “ And is he really buried here?
pst.000019702957Or is it?
pst.000019702957Or was Aziziyeh the first possible place where a halt could be called?
pst.000019702957Rather a delicate subject, though?
pst.000019702957Rather gratifying to Anglo- Saxon pride in Anglo- Saxon character, is it not?
pst.000019702957Seen from the outside, it is a picturesque old town with — what should one say?-the charm of Oriental unreality.
pst.000019702957Shelter?
pst.000019702957Surprising under the circumstances?
pst.000019702957There are more than sixteen hundred bottoms now, and naturally the first question the interested visitor'asks is:'How on earth did you do it?'
pst.000019702957Those things interest me, and I want to drag the ancient mistaken ones back and say to them, Well, here now, do n't you see?'
pst.000019702957Thought I was bluffin''bout gettin'to Amara by eleven, did n't you?'
pst.000019702957To Henley?
pst.000019702957To India, or to Europe via the Suez Canal?
pst.000019702957To Putney?
pst.000019702957To Rich- mond?
pst.000019702957To queer little landings here and there round London where crowds of people gather on gala days, and where happy summer memories are made?
pst.000019702957To the Persian Gulf?
pst.000019702957Was ever anything quite so premature?
pst.000019702957Well, what then?
pst.000019702957What are a few thousand years more or less — in Mesopotamia?
pst.000019702957What are we standing round like this for?'
pst.000019702957What can anyone ever possibly know?
pst.000019702957What d'ye think you are- royalty?
pst.000019702957What danger could India be in from the north?
pst.000019702957What else?
pst.000019702957What is it?'
pst.000019702957What more could any one wish for on the river Tigris?

pst.000019702957What state is Kansas City in??
pst.000019702957What state is St. Louis in?'
pst.000019702957What's the trouble, Captain?'
pst.000019702957What, then, was to be done for river- boats when the Expeditionary Force, pursuing the Turks to the northward, got so many miles away?
pst.000019702957When I saw it from far down the river I asked: What is the monument?'
pst.000019702957When they want a model for a steamboat why do n't they consult some one with river sense?
pst.000019702957Where is it you go on the Thames penny steamers?
pst.000019702957Which of them threw the scabbard away?
pst.000019702957Why do n't they do as the Germans do and just take them, if they want them?
pst.000019702957Why should General Maude make of me a con- spicuous exception to his unalterable rule?
pst.000019702957Why should I?
pst.000019702957Why should a ship aground feel like that?
pst.000019702957Why?
pst.000019702957Wonderful?
pst.000019702957Work?
pst.000019702957Would n't a couple of armoured motor cars be all right?
pst.000019702957Yes, I know, but may I go out to the lines?'
pst.000019702957Yes, of course,'he drawled, in his delightful way, “ but what, for instance?
pst.000019702957Yes, that's all right, but where does Nebuchad- nezzar come in?'
pst.000019702957for Government House?'
pst.000019702957stuff under such circumstances?
pst.000019702957telling you?'
pst.000019702957· Yes?
pst.000019702957“ But I sup- pose you have n't forgotten that we still have the hill?
pst.000019702957“ May I go to Babylon?'
pst.000019702957• A bewitching place, an enchanting place — the Arabian Nights come again'?
pst.000019702957• What were they telling you?'
pst.000019702957• Which is the smallest county in England?
pst.0000635092984- What will it take to achieve national reconciliation?
pst.00006350929868 The questions for today are: What are the Iraqis anticipating after the announcement of Prime Minister Nouri Al- Maliki's Reconciliation Plan?
pst.000063509298And my question is, what has come of that proposal and have there been discussions?
pst.000063509298And my question to each of you would be in order to achieve na- tional reconciliation, will there have to be changes made to the Constitution?
pst.000063509298And now we're trying to figure out a way to reconcile the dif- ferences between Shia and Sunni in Iraq?
pst.000063509298And so I'm wondering, sir, how much?
pst.000063509298And the party that has now taken power in Iraq is a reli- gious Shiite party that has strong ties to Iran; is that true?
pst.000063509298And what action should the United States take then?
pst.000063509298And what is the relationship now between the State Department and the Iraq Ministry of — Interior Ministry?
pst.000063509298And when did you say we measure whether the set strategy has failed or succeeded, and is there a timeframe in which we can make that judgment?
pst.000063509298And, second, are you prepared to ad- dress it as it relates to Americans?
pst.000063509298Are these people that are killing with the United States looking the other way?
pst.000063509298But having said that, I just really just have two questions, and they boil down to these: How much and how long?
pst.000063509298But now the mission- indeed, the title and subject of this hear- ing is what do we need to reconcile the differences between the Shia and the Sunni?
pst.000063509298By the Turkish Government, sir?
pst.000063509298Came to the United States, OK?
pst.000063509298Did I understand that the position of our Government of the United States is that the issue of a Shia autonomous region should be left to the Iraqis?
pst.000063509298Did it give the view that there was an occupational government?
pst.000063509298Did the United States make any mis- takes?
pst.000063509298Did the United States make any mistakes before we transferred power in June 2004?
pst.000063509298Do we expect that this government by its Reconciliation Plan can solve the problems of the Iraqis magically overnight, within a short period of time?
pst.000063509298Do you agree or disagree with its findings?
pst.000063509298Do you think that was a mistake?
pst.000063509298Do you think we could have transferred power sooner, and do you think it was a mistake to call it occupiers?
pst.000063509298Does it leave an Iraq which is capable of being prosperous, secure and stable, or does it threaten those three goals?
pst.000063509298Fax: 703.938.0091 Email: SCIRIWDC@aol.com 67 What will it take to achieve national reconciliation?
pst.000063509298Finally, is reconciliation possible in Iraq?
pst.000063509298Fourth: What is likely to happen if Iraq fails to achieve national reconciliation?
pst.000063509298H.G 74/7:109- 249 IRAQ: DEMOCRACY OR CIVIL WAR?
pst.000063509298Has the State Department conducted an inves- tigation of who is responsible for the extrajudicial killings?
pst.000063509298Has there been any response from the Turkish Gov- ernment with respect to that action by the Kurds?
pst.000063509298Have you heard those reports?
pst.000063509298Have you read any State Department reports that draw a similar conclusion?
pst.000063509298Have you seen the actions taken to meet the rhetoric that you just men- tioned?
pst.000063509298I suggest we focus on the more direct question, is the desire to end the U.S. occupation the only thing that unifies the various factions in Iraq?
pst.000063509298I want to ask you, if you have read such State Department reports, are you willing to provide them to this committee?
pst.000063509298I would like to ask the two other witnesses, do you think that was a mistake?
pst.000063509298If you've read such reports, when is the first time that you read a report saying that the situation at Anbar Province had deteriorated sharply?
pst.000063509298Iraq's future is dependent upon the performance and commit- ment over a sustained period of time of three basic pillars of ac- tors?
pst.000063509298Is amnesty, one, important?
pst.000063509298Is that our government's position?
pst.000063509298Is that possible for each you to do?
pst.000063509298Is the State Department recommending to the President that we send more troops there?
pst.000063509298Is there a point where you think we made some — some big mis- takes in that first year?
pst.000063509298Is there anything that we should have asked you that we did n't, that you were prepared to answer, that you think we need to put on the record?
pst.000063509298Mr. Talabany, what were some other potential mistakes?
pst.000063509298My question is should n't we be holding the U.S. Government ac- countable as well and the administration that has brought us to this point?
pst.000063509298On Friday?
pst.000063509298Or will they have to be patient again?
pst.000063509298Should we have looked at Iraq more from a tribal standpoint than a religious standpoint?
pst.000063509298So how has the President responded to all of this?
pst.000063509298So what, I guess, is your view of Ambassador Galbraith's analysis, situation in Iraq today?
pst.000063509298So who's doing the killings?
pst.000063509298The issue now is, how can we overcome those mistakes?
pst.000063509298They asked them about the fed- you believe in federalism?
pst.000063509298They have not determined where those decisions will be made, either at the central level or at the provisional level then?
pst.000063509298This brings us to the fundamental question that is in the mind of every single American today: when can US forces come home?
pst.000063509298Today's hearing asks the question, what will it take to achieve national reconciliation?
pst.000063509298Today's hearing asks the question, “ Iraq: Democracy or Civil War?
pst.000063509298Today's hearing specifically asks the question, what will it take to achieve national reconciliation?
pst.000063509298Was there a question?
pst.000063509298What Will It Take to Achieve National Reconciliation?
pst.000063509298What Will It Take to Achieve National Reconciliation? ” the President's assertions that Iraq is not in a civil war is not honest.

pst.000063509298What is — is the oil, sharing of the oil revenue the most difficult?
pst.000063509298Would the Chair yield to a question?
pst.000063509298Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000063509298Would we have gotten better results, may I ask you, Mr. Speaker, if we viewed it more from a tribal standpoint?
pst.000063509298Would you agree that there was some significant timelines in 2005 and timelines met that we are not seeing right now?
pst.000063509298Would you like to close?
pst.000063509298You agree with that, do n't you?
pst.000063509298You read the report?
pst.000063509298You would agree?

pst.000058945407 Am I wrong, gentlemen? pst.000058945407 And I just wondered if you could just explain or give me your thoughts on, is there a disconnect? pst.000058945407 And especially if leadership starts coming over, what does that tell insurgents down in the ranks? pst.000058945407 And given what you have had to say today, what would we say to our European allies about the insurgency, about how they might be helpful to us? pst.000058945407 And how does it integrate the kinds of things that Mr. Slocombe was talking about, the political, the economic, the social, the secu- rity? pst.000058945407 And is that sacrifice honored by the American people? pst.000058945407 And one of the real questions is: Are there not ways to expand the range of kinds of people who will find a military career attractive? pst.000058945407 And second, do they think we can win? pst.000058945407 And second, what is a work- able approach to the security situation? pst.000058945407 And so I think within the first center of gravity, the Iraqi people, it is: Does this delay reconstruction because security can not be pro- vided? pst.000058945407 And the question is: Can we work with them to build up their security forces and on the other fronts so that it is a success? pst.000058945407 And the questions is: How are we going to do it? pst.000058945407 And this leads directly to the final question that I would like to address: What is the way ahead? pst.000058945407 Andrew, do you have any comments? pst.000058945407 Another metric: Can we trace the market for IED emplacements? pst.000058945407 Any sense on the economy? pst.000058945407 Campaign Metrics What metrics might be useful in gauging progress in the counterinsurgency campaign in Iraq? pst.000058945407 Can I add a comment, sir? pst.000058945407 Can we win in Iraq? pst.000058945407 Can you follow up? pst.000058945407 Can you speak to that? pst.000058945407 Commit suicide in a car bomb attack? pst.000058945407 Could I be indulged to peddle one of my ideas that I have tried to sell for a long time? pst.000058945407 Could I just add one thing on the timing issue? pst.000058945407 Could you comment on that? pst.000058945407 Detonate one? pst.000058945407 Do I incur personal risk be- cause security is not provided? pst.000058945407 Do these three groups want us to win this war? pst.000058945407 Do they think this is a worthy cause? pst.000058945407 Do they think we are going to win? pst.000058945407 Do they want to see us achieve our objectives? pst.000058945407 Do we have to kill or arrest them all or is there some remedy short of that? pst.000058945407 Do you see a practical role for the United Nations in Iraq at all? pst.000058945407 Do you think that is an approach that would bear any fruit? pst.000058945407 Do you think we initiate most of the shooting? pst.000058945407 Does this delay local elections because security can not be provided? pst.000058945407 Does this limit my freedom? pst.000058945407 Facilities destroyed?). pst.000058945407 First, are the Iraqi forces taking on an increasing share of the burden in the war against the insurgents? pst.000058945407 How difficult is it going to be to ever get them to really work to- gether as they a melting pot nation, so to speak? pst.000058945407 How is the continued high pace of operations going to affect our ability to train, equip and man the force? pst.000058945407 How long is that going to take us to achieve to the point where the Iraqi security is in the hands of the Iraqi forces? pst.000058945407 How many dollars are we going to have to spend? pst.000058945407 How many lives are we 53 going to have to put at risk? pst.000058945407 How ought we to think about metrics we choose? pst.000058945407 How should that be coordinated differently? pst.000058945407 How should the strategy and operational methods used for national insurgency differ from those applied in liberation insurgency? pst.000058945407 I pose this question to both of you: Do you see a coherent United States policy in Iraq? pst.000058945407 I want to focus on two points: One is, what is the nature of the problem we face in the insurrection? pst.000058945407 In other words, do we have their hearts, to use the phrase? pst.000058945407 In other words, if it is 60 percent today, was it 20 percent 4 months ago or was it 90 percent? pst.000058945407 Is it a different ani- mal, as you suggest, in terms of building the peace? pst.000058945407 Is the sacrifice that we are talking about actually going to end in victory as opposed a noble sacrifice that ends in de- feat? pst.000058945407 Is the security going to be provided so that they can enjoy those and they will sustain their growing support for the government? pst.000058945407 Maybe can all of you speak to that? pst.000058945407 Measuring Success What metrics does one use in measuring whether or not we are making progress in defeating the insurgency? pst.000058945407 Mr. Chairman, may I comment on that? pst.000058945407 Mr. Cooper, do you have any follow up? pst.000058945407 Now, in an insurgency what would be the center of gravity? pst.000058945407 Of these contacts, what percentage are initiated by Iraqis, and what percentage by the insurgents? pst.000058945407 Or do you think the insur- gents do? pst.000058945407 Or is a modest amount of counterinsurgency support to a beleaguered friend better than none at all? pst.000058945407 Over time, are Iraqi forces, for example, suffering a higher percentage of casualties relative to American forces? pst.000058945407 Question: Are we making transition to turn over the government too quickly? pst.000058945407 Remember those famous ICBMs in the Cold War we all had where it showed all the big Russians ones and all the little American ones? pst.000058945407 Second, what kind of cooperation are they receiving from the people in the form of actionable intelligence? pst.000058945407 Should we draft people who can speak languages? pst.000058945407 Should we have a draft? pst.000058945407 Should we make a concerted effort? pst.000058945407 Similarly, what are trends in terms of the defections among in- surgents, particularly in the leadership? pst.000058945407 Simply put: What percentage of contacts with the enemy involve 11 76 indigenous Iraqi forces? pst.000058945407 So one thing I would like to know is: How deep are these views held by the Iraqis? pst.000058945407 So what is our letter grade, A to F? pst.000058945407 The heart in the sense of: Is this sacrifice I am making for my country a worthy sacrifice? pst.000058945407 The question was was he any good as a marriage lawyer? pst.000058945407 This brings me to my central point which is: How do we measure progress? pst.000058945407 This leads to three key questions: •Hearts"—Do the Iraqi people share the same objectives as their government and the coalition forces?
pst.000058945407US forces?
pst.000058945407We talked about the Iraq people and we talked somewhat about the factions, but would you speak to that?
pst.000058945407What are the insurgents offering to those who will plant an IED?
pst.000058945407What are the prospects for containing this and getting a durable constitutional arrangement set up before something goes badly wrong?
pst.000058945407What are the trends in terms of assassinations and police casual- ties?
pst.000058945407What do we need to do to make it an A, A- plus?
pst.000058945407What do you think?
pst.000058945407What is our strategy for securing these centers of gravity?
pst.000058945407What is the strat- egy for how we are going to archive these ends?
pst.000058945407What kind of bounty are they placing on the lives of their enemies, and how does that price change over time?
pst.000058945407What kind of impact if they were to follow with what they want to do — what kind of impact is that going to have?
pst.000058945407What was it a year ago?
pst.000058945407When are they going to start taking some of the risks for their own security?"
pst.000058945407Where do you think that metric is now?
pst.000058945407Which strategy makes more sense?
pst.000058945407Why are we fighting this fight?
pst.000058945407Would that be okay with you?"
pst.000058945407Would you speak to that?
pst.000058945407convoys?
pst.000058945407infrastructure?
pst.000043020119( What are our GOALS and what STRATEGY should we use to achieve them?)
pst.00004302011916 Sept. 1998 IRAQ and WEAPONS OF MASS DESTRUCTION What should the U.S. do?
pst.000043020119Along that line, Mr. Ritter, has the presence of French and Russians on the inspection teams affected the work of the inspection teams?
pst.000043020119And I'm curious to learn your opinion about first being a lightening rod?
pst.000043020119And I'm just curious to get your opinion on that?
pst.000043020119And do you think our influence, in particular in the Middle East, has been greatly reduced?
pst.000043020119And most importantly, where are we headed in the future?
pst.000043020119And that raises a couple of questions?
pst.000043020119And that's made up of what?
pst.000043020119And the first has to do with why has the coalition against Saddam Hussein collapsed?
pst.000043020119And then Mr. Butler advised you of this, so that's how you know about it?
pst.000043020119And were you directly advised of this or was Mr. Butler advised of it?
pst.000043020119And what about the borders with Syria and Turkey, where there are no inspectors?
pst.000043020119And what are the hindrances to making that hap- pen?
pst.000043020119And what strategy should be developed to achieve them?
pst.000043020119And why do you think they may have, if they did?
pst.000043020119Any questions?
pst.000043020119Are you a personal witness to any scientists with the former Soviet Union working in Iraq?
pst.000043020119Are you aware of that?
pst.000043020119Around the world?
pst.000043020119As I understand your comments, you feel strongest about the support that your group gets from the Security Council, is that cor- rect?
pst.000043020119But when people were killed in the Gulf War, when people were killed in Khobar Towers, there was no outcry of saying why are we there?
pst.000043020119Did he give you any indication of why he was told they would not support this?
pst.000043020119Did they share that?
pst.000043020119Did you ever sense a concern for your safety, or did any members of the team ever sense any concern for their safety?
pst.000043020119Did you feel or did they feel that the Security Council was n't serious and were just words on a piece of paper?
pst.000043020119Did you while you were there, and how long were you there personally?
pst.000043020119Do we believe or know whether or not Iraq possesses these weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000043020119Fifteen members, as I recall?
pst.000043020119First of all, how many other people served on that inspections team with you?
pst.000043020119From which members?
pst.000043020119General Kelly, we would be pleased to hear from you?
pst.000043020119Has it been your impression that — how do I want to say it?
pst.000043020119Have you heard much from your colleagues?
pst.000043020119How has our position of strength eroded?
pst.000043020119How is building this consensus going to achieve the Special Commission getting back into Iraq to carry out its difficult disarmament tasks?
pst.000043020119How long you say you've been our chief inspector on our side?
pst.000043020119IF OUR CURRENT POLICY CAN BE DESCRIBED AS ONE OF CONTAINMENT, WHAT RECOMMENDATIONS WOULD THEY PROPOSE TO SHORE IT UP?
pst.000043020119If Iraq is given full wherewithal to acquire infrastructure devel- opment, how long would it take them to rebuild their enrichment program?
pst.000043020119If it's not to do the mission given to them by the Executive Chairman, who's tasking them?
pst.000043020119If our current policy can be described as one of containment, what recommendations would they propose to shore it up?
pst.000043020119If they propose an alternative policy of removal, ousting Saddam Hussein and his regime from power, what are the elements associated with that policy?
pst.000043020119If you could answer those three, and then I have just another comment?
pst.000043020119In a more perfect world, how would you see policy being made in which UNSCOM and you, the generic you, would play a role?
pst.000043020119Is it possible that that accounts for some of the Russian reluctance to be fully supportive in this measure?
pst.000043020119Is it that you feel like you're lacking the international moral authority in a united fashion standing behind you?
pst.000043020119Is that a fair statement?
pst.000043020119Kelly said,"Where do we get such men?"
pst.000043020119Mr. Bateman?
pst.000043020119Mr. Hunter?
pst.000043020119Mr. McHale?
pst.000043020119Mr. Pappas?
pst.000043020119Mr. Pickett?
pst.000043020119Mr. Pickett?
pst.000043020119Mr. Redmond?
pst.000043020119Mr. Reyes?
pst.000043020119Mr. Ritter, what, and again, I may have missed your point, what would you, if given the opportunity to make things right, what would you do?
pst.000043020119Mr. Sisisky?
pst.000043020119Mr. Skelton?
pst.000043020119Mr. Snyder?
pst.000043020119Mr. Spratt?
pst.000043020119Mr. Taylor?
pst.000043020119Mrs. Fowler?
pst.000043020119Ms. Harman?
pst.000043020119NOTE: Ground troops to Iraq.?
pst.000043020119NOTE: What can the UN inspectors do?
pst.000043020119Now what will they arm that with?
pst.000043020119Now,"people,"you mean U.S. people?
pst.000043020119OK, who from the Government specifically advised?
pst.000043020119On my unit, or the inspection as a whole?
pst.000043020119Or do you be- lieve that the threat to the security of our country by Iraq is so im- minent that the United States should take unilateral action?
pst.000043020119Or is it just of people at the uppermost levels that you feel are not responding appro- priately to the mandate of the UN?
pst.000043020119Or is it specifically that what was once a strong military threat has turned into a cotton ball threat?
pst.000043020119Question: Do we believe/ know whether Iraq possesses these weapons of mass destruction( Biological, Chemical& Nuclear)?
pst.000043020119Secretary, why do n't you go ahead and start off?
pst.000043020119Seven years after the Gulf War does Iraq, under the command of Saddam Hussein, possess an operational chem- bio capability?
pst.000043020119So my question is where will the ground troops come from to support any ground contingency?
pst.000043020119So our country constitutes one member of that group?
pst.000043020119So what would I do?
pst.000043020119So you're saying the United States should proceed unilaterally?
pst.000043020119Talent?
pst.000043020119The question is what should we do about Saddam Hussein and his weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000043020119The signals are getting from top to bottom very rap- idly is what you're saying?
pst.000043020119Those members of the team that were not from the United States or Great Britain, did you ever discuss with them what their sense of the situation was?
pst.000043020119Two, how much replacement infrastructure or equipment would be needed to ire- establish their nuclear weapon building capabili- ties?
pst.000043020119What are our goals?
pst.000043020119What are the goals and objectives of these per- sonnel?
pst.000043020119What has happened?
pst.000043020119What price have we paid for building a consensus?
pst.000043020119When you're dealing with Iraqi officials at levels, is that the impression you're getting?
pst.000043020119When you're in Iraq as a weapons inspec- tor, and you're trying to be taken seriously in what you do, specifi- cally, what's the problem?
pst.000043020119Where are we now?
pst.000043020119Who knows?
pst.000043020119Why are we in such bad shape?
pst.000043020119Would you agree with that or disagree?
pst.000043020119Would you tell us to whom you refer and explain your usage of that phrase?
pst.000043020119You're not a personal witness to that?
pst.000043020119Your unit was the approximately 120?
uc1.b5158272108–276 IRAQ: NEXT STEPS – WHAT WILL AN IRAQ 5-YEAR PLAN LOOK LIKE?
uc1.b5158272Although much progress has been made, what worries you about your plans?
uc1.b5158272And if you and they disagree, what is the outcome?
uc1.b5158272And, therefore, rests with you?
uc1.b5158272Are Middle East neighbors of Iraq providing sufficient cooperation?
uc1.b5158272Are there any areas or min- istries where the transfer process will soon occur?
uc1.b5158272But assuming no con- sensus can be achieved, how is that decision made?
uc1.b5158272But the ultimate decisionmaking is yours; is it not?
uc1.b5158272Can I ask that you reset that clock?
uc1.b5158272Can expanded international involvement improve our capabilities?
uc1.b5158272Does the adminis- tration have a game plan for that contingency?
uc1.b5158272For example, what about double- hatting you?
uc1.b5158272How do you plan to integrate Iraqi government institutions into the Coalition's effort?
uc1.b5158272How does oil revenue fit into projections of reconstruction financing?
uc1.b5158272How does oil revenue fit into the projections of reconstruction fi- nancing, quite apart from the overall budget of the country?
uc1.b5158272How long will the$ 21 billion targeted for reconstruction last?
uc1.b5158272How long will the$ 87 billion from the Supplemental last?
uc1.b5158272How long will the$ 87 billion from the supplemental last?
uc1.b5158272How many trainers do you have?
uc1.b5158272How many?
uc1.b5158272I mean, I do not know why we do not say to the French, You want a piece of this?
uc1.b5158272I mean, it is a one- man show in that regard; is it not?
uc1.b5158272If it should happen, what would be the out-- come?
uc1.b5158272Mr. Chairman, is it your intention to bring the Ambassador back?
uc1.b5158272Now, the supplemental request from the Executive Office of the President has$ 65 billion for the Department of Defense?
uc1.b5158272Roughly, what is the total of the European con- tribution?
uc1.b5158272So it is just a one- shot appearance?
uc1.b5158272So what are we willing to give up in the way of sharing?
uc1.b5158272So, they are going to be American trainers?
uc1.b5158272That begs a critical question: where is the remaining$ 40 to$ 50 billion going to come from?
uc1.b5158272Well, I imagine there would be discussions between London and Washington?
uc1.b5158272What are the trade- offs that we must consider to pay for Iraq's recon- struction?
uc1.b5158272What happens if they do n't?
uc1.b5158272What is the deal here?
uc1.b5158272What is the objection to putting these processes under the authority of the United Nations?
uc1.b5158272What needs to be fixed within the Coalition Provisional Authority?
uc1.b5158272What skills do our personnel lack?
uc1.b5158272What skills do our personnel lack?
uc1.b5158272What's wrong with that?
uc1.b5158272Where are we going to get the remain- ing$ 40 billion to$ 50 billion?
uc1.b5158272Where are we going to get those trainers?
uc1.b5158272Where is it going to come from?
uc1.b5158272Where is the practical input of how to get this done?
uc1.b5158272Why do you not say you are the ultimate decisionmaker?
uc1.b5158272Why have we not done those kinds of things?
uc1.b5158272Why have we not gone out of our way?
uc1.b5158272Why have we not made a deal?
uc1.b5158272Why not put out the word we need 1,000 American cops to get these people trained?
uc1.b5158272Why?
uc1.b5158272Will it come from the international community?
uc1.b5158272Will it come from the international community?
uc1.b5158272Will the gentleman please just leave peacefully, so we can continue with the hearing?
uc1.b5158272Will the missing money be generated by Iraqi oil revenues?
uc1.b5158272Will the missing money be generated by other parts of the Iraqi economy?
uc1.b5158272Will the missing money be generated by others parts of the Iraqi economy?
uc1.b5158272Will this U.S. commitment help generate international contributions at the donor conference in October?
uc1.b5158272You basically will make the decision on the use of that money; is that correct?
uc1.b5158272You know?

pst.00006551072844 job?
pst.000065510728A year, 18 months, 6 months, and where do the benchmarks fit in that surge time frame?
pst.000065510728And I would just ask you, have you scrubbed_have you looked at the details of the plan as it exists now with respect to those two factors?
pst.000065510728And frankly, the second question is, is that very wise, given the fact that it is a pretty tenuous situation?
pst.000065510728And so is it possible for you to maybe provide that to members of the committee?
pst.000065510728And this is substantially different from what is being done now?
pst.000065510728And will we stop send being brigades if the Iraqis do not show up?
pst.000065510728Any comments on those three areas?
pst.000065510728Are those M1117 armored vehicles going to be available to them?
pst.000065510728Are you fin- ished?
pst.000065510728Are you finished, Mr. Johnson?
pst.000065510728As far as budget supplement or budget base?
pst.000065510728But my bigger concern is, even if we succeed in what we are doing here, it is sort of “ Then what? ” And what exactly does suc- cess look like?
pst.000065510728But my bigger concern is, even if we succeed in what we are doing here, it is sort of “ Then what? ” And what exactly does suc- cess look like?
pst.000065510728Can you be a little more specific or can you kind of narrow that down three to one, four to one, somewhere in between?
pst.000065510728Can you clarify that for us?
pst.000065510728Can you comment briefly on pressure from within, groundswells of pressure from within his country?
pst.000065510728Can you hang in there a little bit longer?
pst.000065510728Can you help clarify that a little bit?
pst.000065510728Can you tell me that now our troops or coalition forces with the Iraqis will be able to go into Sadr City and start disbanding the Mahdi Army?
pst.000065510728Could you, please?
pst.000065510728Did I get it right?
pst.000065510728Did you finish answering?
pst.000065510728Do they not have the forces or why are n't those forces being committed in addition to simply 8,000 additional people on top of 42?
pst.000065510728Do they train higher than an AK-47?
pst.000065510728Do you have a sense of what your timing is for that need for es- calation?
pst.000065510728Do you know?
pst.000065510728Does that mean they are not showing up?
pst.000065510728General Pace, how are you doing?
pst.000065510728General, with the limited language capacity of our troops, do we even know who is Sunni or Shi'a or which tribe indi- vidual Iraqis belong to?
pst.000065510728General, would you like to add anything?
pst.000065510728Has General Abizaid changed his mind?
pst.000065510728Has he been convinced to change his mind?
pst.000065510728Have you been briefed on that or on part of those discussions?
pst.000065510728He was not a Marine, was he, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000065510728How do you turn that around?
pst.000065510728How is that any different than what has been done since November of 2005?
pst.000065510728How long is it taking us to train the Iraqi people, troops, to be able to be combat- ready to embrace their own freedom?
pst.000065510728How much have we spent training Iraqi security forces in the last four years?
pst.000065510728I am starting all over again?
pst.000065510728I would hope, General Pace, will you be able to stay after these next four members?
pst.000065510728If that does n't occur, is there an exit strategy?
pst.000065510728If the Iraqis do n't fulfill their com- mitment, what is the standard we are going to use to say we are not sending our folks?
pst.000065510728If we do n't know where they are one week a month, and there is no punishment for being AWOL, how is that effective training?
pst.000065510728Instead of facing up to this core reality, the Bush Administration has papered it over with salesmanship and spin. ” Is Mr. Brooks wrong?
pst.000065510728Is he there?
pst.000065510728Is it truly Iraqi money or was that money that we had given them that they just have not expended yet, if you could?
pst.000065510728Is n't that a fact?
pst.000065510728Is that something that has been discussed under this Adminis- tration as part of your normal policy for military operations?
pst.000065510728Is there a plan B?
pst.000065510728Mr. Marshall, do you wish to ask questions of the general?
pst.000065510728Mr. Secretary, the bottom- line answer to my question is, we would revisit our strategy; is that it, sir?
pst.000065510728Mr. Secretary, what if the Iraqi government does not live up to those commitments?
pst.000065510728Since I have very quick time as a freshman, is the AK-47 still the biggest weapon they will get, or anything higher than that?
pst.000065510728So are you seeing signs that that is subsiding within the govern- ment?
pst.000065510728So you are saying that the U.S. currently does not control the Iraqi oil or the oil revenue?
pst.000065510728So, as far as you can tell, this operation on the Iraqi side will have largely mixed units carrying out their end of the se- curity operations?
pst.000065510728The latest in the armored vehicles, are they going to be available to them?
pst.000065510728The question is, are you optimistic or pessimistic?
pst.000065510728Three maneuver battalions and one backup American battalion, is that your general concept in each of these ninę sectors in Bagh- dad?
pst.000065510728We reserve the right to abort, and the expectation is we may abort the whole operation if their forces do not show up?
pst.000065510728Well then, how is the plan ever going to succeed?
pst.000065510728What did not go right? ” just like we do with our own people.
pst.000065510728What do we do and at what point?
pst.000065510728What do we do if they do n't act?
pst.000065510728What do we need to change to attain our goal?
pst.000065510728What do you mean by saying 500 per brigade being on leave?
pst.000065510728What is the exit strategy?
pst.000065510728What is the punishment or the outcome of such violation of their commitments?
pst.000065510728What is the time frame of the surge?
pst.000065510728What kind of interaction has there been with General Abizaid, who, as you know, is very well re- spected by this committee?
pst.000065510728What went right?
pst.000065510728What would be how can I answer that?
pst.000065510728What would we have done if he had not in view of the President's saying this situation was intolerable to him?
pst.000065510728When you get through adding, with the surge what do you get?
pst.000065510728Where in the benchmark time frame does the disar- mament- disarming the militias occur, and what if they do n't meet that benchmark?
pst.000065510728Which, ma'am?
pst.000065510728Why do you believe a surge will work this time?
pst.000065510728Why is it going to be any dif- ferent now that we are going to take a billion dollars more?
pst.000065510728Why is it two- to- one or three- to- one?
pst.000065510728Will we stop sending brigades if the Iraqis do n't show up?
pst.000065510728With regard to this current deployment of 20,000 troops, is there an estimation of how long they will be deployed?
pst.000065510728Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000065510728Would this new plan in- clude proportional requirements for intelligence services?
pst.000065510728Would you comment on that for us, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000065510728Would you say for those you are not extending the length of time then for any reservists that are mobi- lized in an involuntary fashion?
pst.000065510728top of that?
pst.000058163320( a) How much of the$ 13.6 billion pledged at the Madrid donors'conference has been disbursed?
pst.000058163320( b) Does the administration intend to request additional reconstruction funds from Congress for Iraq?
pst.00005816332000 ical process collapses under its own weight?
pst.00005816332019 Can you describe if this is the goal of the terrorists?
pst.000058163320And I think, frankly, they're better benchmarks such as: Can we point to things that they are actually doing, and doing capably?
pst.000058163320And how well is the State Department and the Department of Defense coordinating on a strategy to counteract these terrorists?
pst.000058163320And should n't that no- vote by the Sunnis, despite the outpouring, be a matter of greater concern than you've reflected in your testimony?
pst.000058163320And we're encouraging that to happen?
pst.000058163320And what is the plan to turn the reconstruction effort around?
pst.000058163320Are militias more powerful than Iraqi security forces in places such as Basra?
pst.000058163320Are there indications that demonstrate what level of support these terrorists have?
pst.000058163320Are we considering military action, if necessary?
pst.000058163320Are we looking 2 years down the road?
pst.000058163320Are we planning some action in Syrian that we ought to be aware of in this committee?
pst.000058163320Are we talking directly to Iran?
pst.000058163320Are we talking to Iran directly?
pst.000058163320But I also heard the chairman today — and you'll hear me say — that the Amer- ican people need some benchmarks here as to: What's the plan?
pst.000058163320But the question is: What measure- ments do you see, going forward, in support, if there is support, for these insurgents?
pst.000058163320But what are we doing?
pst.000058163320Can they have a bombing here, a bombing there?
pst.000058163320Can they pull off a kidnapping?
pst.000058163320Can you confirm this and provide any details on this par- ticular contract?
pst.000058163320Can you explain what we're doing?
pst.000058163320Could I inquire?
pst.000058163320Did those neighbors include Iran and Syria?
pst.000058163320Does it comport at all with what they see?
pst.000058163320Does the administration intend to allow Ambassador Khalilzad to engage his Ira- nian counterparts similar to the model in Afghanistan?
pst.000058163320February of this year?
pst.000058163320Has Ambassador Khalilzad engaged Iranian Government officials in Iraq or else- where?
pst.000058163320Have n't we, in a sense, allied ourselves too closely with the Shi'a and Kurd elements?
pst.000058163320How about Russia, India, Pakistan, France?
pst.000058163320How are we doing that?
pst.000058163320How are we going to proceed?
pst.000058163320How do we get it in their heads how important this is?
pst.000058163320How do you define “ victory ”?
pst.000058163320How do you do that?
pst.000058163320How do you read that?
pst.000058163320How do you reconcile those two, if elections do not include those?
pst.000058163320How many Iraqi security force units consist primarily of one ethnic or sectarian group?
pst.000058163320How many personnel and financial resources have they devoted to the effort?
pst.000058163320How many teams will there be?
pst.000058163320How many units rated at being Level I or Level II consist of primarily one ethnic or sectarian group?
pst.000058163320How should we measure whether or not the insurgency has a political base?
pst.000058163320I'm asking you a question about: Would you support a U.N.-sponsored Middle East regional conference after the election?
pst.000058163320If it is accurate that we are importing ice by air, why are U.S. con- tractors not buying Iraqi ice?
pst.000058163320If the elections do not include what?
pst.000058163320If your strategy works, are we look- ing at being able to, sometime next year, draw down American forces?
pst.000058163320Is there a White House Syrian group, for instance, that's meeting?
pst.000058163320Is there a reason not to formalize this?
pst.000058163320Is this going to be the base for the future?
pst.000058163320Mr. Chairman, could I just say something about that quickly?
pst.000058163320Mr. Chairman, could I — when was the last time Secretary Rice came before this committee?
pst.000058163320Now, does n't that same logic apply to the issue of a public timetable?
pst.000058163320Now, is there a fundamental difference between Shi’a and Sunni?
pst.000058163320Now, what I do n't understand is, why is the administration hesi- tating to establish a contact group?
pst.000058163320So, I think this does, in effect, go right to the heart of: What kind of Middle East is there going to be?
pst.000058163320So, tell us, what are the standards?
pst.000058163320So, what are we doing differently, in this regard, from what we were doing 6 months ago to convey, as you say, the seriousness of our concern?
pst.000058163320So, what's the plan?
pst.000058163320So, why would others join us?
pst.000058163320So, would you agree that if anything were to occur on Syrian or Iranian soil, you would have to return to Congress to get that authorization?
pst.000058163320That did not include that vision would n't we be, then, picking winners?
pst.000058163320The terrorists may say, “ But, at the heart of this, at least we're going to have a home base. ” How do we fight that?
pst.000058163320Then why did President Talibani suggest that there is a scenario of when we could bring the troops back?
pst.000058163320They just want to know, What is the plan?
pst.000058163320WHAT IS REQUIRED?
pst.000058163320Was it more like 90–10 against, or more like 60–40 against?
pst.000058163320What about Iran?
pst.000058163320What are we doing to reach out to the Muslim world to reach the hearts and minds of millions of Muslims all over the world?
pst.000058163320What are your plans to do that?
pst.000058163320What effect has this sectarian violence had on polarizing politics?
pst.000058163320What happens if the politics do n't work in this thing?
pst.000058163320What has been the scale of population shifts?
pst.000058163320What have you been doing, dip- lomatically, to persuade the leaders of OPEC, at this time of very high energy prices, to increase their production?
pst.000058163320What is the time line for their deployment?
pst.000058163320What is the trend?
pst.000058163320What is their strategy in each case?
pst.000058163320What is “ victory ”?
pst.000058163320What was discussed?
pst.000058163320What's the game plan?
pst.000058163320What's the plan?
pst.000058163320What's the plan?
pst.000058163320What, specifically, is the plan?
pst.000058163320When does the President believe, as- suming his strategy is put in place, he'll be able to begin to bring home American forces?
pst.000058163320Where will the teams be located?
pst.000058163320Which U.S. agencies will be represented?
pst.000058163320Which areas have been most affected?
pst.000058163320Which countries have partnered with which Iraqi Ministries?
pst.000058163320Who is the primary provider of security for the President- Iraqi security forces, coalition forces, or the Pesh Merga?
pst.000058163320Why are they so absent?
pst.000058163320Why does the administration continue to refuse even a flexible timetable for how long U.S. troops are likely to be in Iraq?
pst.000058163320Why have n't we done this?
pst.000058163320Why have we failed so miserably to deliver tangible improvements to the daily lives of the Iraqi people?
pst.000058163320Why should you open the political process? ”"But, ” I said to them, “ Sunnis also suffered under Saddam Hus- sein.
pst.000058163320Why would he make such a suggestion?
pst.000058163320Why would others join us?
pst.000058163320Yes?
pst.000058163320You would n't be on that road — if you fly to — when was the last time you were in Iraq?
pst.000058163320You're not going to take the mili- tary option off the table in Syria, is that what you're telling me?
pst.000058163320dictate that, in fact, that's not what is possible?
pst.000058163320• Has the influence of militias waned or increased in recent months?
pst.000058163320• Have U.S. military personnel entered Syria since the invasion of Iraq in March 2003?
pst.000058163320• To what extent are Iraqi security forces comprised of former militia members?
pst.000058163320• Which militias are active in Baghdad and which areas of the city do they con- trol?
pst.000058163320• Who has the primary power in the Sadr City- Iraqi security forces or the Mahdi army?
pst.000058163320• Who is the primary provider of security for members of SCIRI in the govern- ment — is it Iraqi security forces or the Badr organization?
uc1.b5158241And I walk away and I wonder, now why has none of this been done?
uc1.b5158241And who fills in the blanks?
uc1.b5158241And who is going to pay for it?
uc1.b5158241And who will manage Iraq's oil resources?
uc1.b5158241And will we be alone?
uc1.b5158241Are there other communications, contacts, some relationship developing between the Iraqi exile community and the religious conservatives of Iran?
uc1.b5158241Are we going to find them all in the Shia area and none in the Sunni area?
uc1.b5158241Are we going to make sure we do not do what we have done in Afghanistan?
uc1.b5158241Are we going to secure the borders of Iraq ” Is that a mission?
uc1.b5158241Are we going to secure the borders?
uc1.b5158241Are you going to do what you are doing in Afghanistan?
uc1.b5158241But for quite a sustained period of time when the tensions were up it was at about 300,000, was it not?
uc1.b5158241But the problem is who is going to do it, where are they?
uc1.b5158241But where is the counterpart economic, political, humanitarian, and recovery?
uc1.b5158241Can you, if you can, disclose any of the thinking that is going on about that very specific, yet critically im- portant problem?
uc1.b5158241Could you touch on the comment just quickly on the Iranian religious, to the extent is that report accurate?
uc1.b5158241Does General Franks identify political leader- ship?
uc1.b5158241Even if it is not their will to do so?
uc1.b5158241How do you begin the transition?
uc1.b5158241How does that change appreciably in the aftermath of a war when there will be a natural relaxation of vigilance by the international com- munity?
uc1.b5158241How does this transition start?
uc1.b5158241How long might U.S. troops conceivably remain?
uc1.b5158241How many U.S. troops did we have in Europe that we sustained there over a very long period of time?
uc1.b5158241How much will it cost to repair it?
uc1.b5158241If you are having a problem now getting into it, what the devil do you think you are going to have a problem when we get in there?
uc1.b5158241In other words, how do you begin to identify?
uc1.b5158241Is it going to — I mean, what is the mission?
uc1.b5158241Is that correct, that figure?
uc1.b5158241Is that going to require troops on the Iranian border?
uc1.b5158241Is there a humani- tarian operations center under somebody from the U.N. or some- where that is going to coordinate their efforts?
uc1.b5158241May I ask the other two to respond as well, Mr. Chairman, to that, to my question, if I could?
uc1.b5158241May I say something?
uc1.b5158241Mr. Secretary, could I on that point?
uc1.b5158241Mr. Secretary, would you categorize or mention the three stages again?
uc1.b5158241One of you said — I think it was you, gen- eral — is it transition or transformation?
uc1.b5158241So do we know if Saddam is going to use his weapons of mass destruc- tion?
uc1.b5158241So is the prescription mean- ing, once we do that, now we have got to do Syria and Iran?
uc1.b5158241So the question is, Who is in charge?
uc1.b5158241They are: Who will rule Iraq and how?
uc1.b5158241We are going to stay around then and try and build this nation?
uc1.b5158241What about the foreign debt and the war reparations that are still owed?
uc1.b5158241What are we doing?
uc1.b5158241What are you anticipating?
uc1.b5158241What is the goal?
uc1.b5158241What is your vision of a post- Saddam Iraq'?
uc1.b5158241What will be the chain of command even in our own government?

pst.000043017171- Are these reports accurate?
pst.000043017171- Do you agree that tension exists?
pst.000043017171- Has there been a change of policy on the interplay between sanctions and inspections?
pst.000043017171- How do you get back into a situation in which it is possible to have both a strong inspections regime and robust sanctions?
pst.000043017171- Is this smuggling directly benefiting the Iraqi Government and the KDP Kurdish faction?
pst.000043017171- Why do n't these sales take place under the"Oil for Food"program?
pst.000043017171-What incentive does either party or Turkey have for ending this illegal trade?

pst.000043017171Again, from where was that pressure?
pst.000043017171Am I correct, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000043017171And does the U.S. Government have any information that Iraq is receiving or has received illegal ship- ments through this program?
pst.000043017171And how will the most recent Security Council resolution( UNSCR 1194) further limit the ability of UNSCOM to carry out its original mandate?
pst.000043017171Are there both instances?
pst.000043017171Are those machines being used for proscribed activities?

pst.000043017171Bruce B. Auster,"Should America Worry About Missiles Again?
pst.000043017171But clearly it is more difficult for the United States now to back weapons inspections with the threat of force, right?
pst.000043017171But is it a low- level issue?
pst.000043017171Can we succeed?
pst.000043017171Can you be explicit in describing our policy as being prepared to go at it alone on force if necessary?
pst.000043017171Could the U.N. Security Council or any member of the Council take action to stop these shipments if they were to be pub- licly documented?
pst.000043017171Could the UN Security Council or any member of the Council take action to stop these shipments if they were to be publicly documented?
pst.000043017171Could you explain that statement to us?
pst.000043017171Did UNSCOM have access to information about such a scale model?
pst.000043017171Did UNSCOM have any access to information about such a scale model?
pst.000043017171Did he share with you who, what individuals from what departments, were giving him those instructions?
pst.000043017171Did the Executive Chairman let you know in fact that these interventions were taking place and that is why he was giving you new instructions?
pst.000043017171Do we have to go with the consensus all the time?
pst.000043017171Do we support the removal of Saddam Hus- sein from power?
pst.000043017171Do you ever foresee a time when the sanctions would be lifted as long as Saddam Hussein is in power?
pst.000043017171Do you know the location of those, the last cat- egory, those that they retained?
pst.000043017171Does the U.S. government have any information that Iraq has received, or is receiving, illegal shipments through this program?
pst.000043017171Does this necessarily mean that aspects of the inspections regime have been weakened?
pst.000043017171For example, who made the decision to pressure or to discuss with the Special Com- mission, to postpone or cancel the disarmament inspections?
pst.000043017171Has Iraq used the United Nations Oil- for- Food program to import dual use goods or other components for its banned weapons programs?
pst.000043017171Has anything occurred one way or another?
pst.000043017171Has there been any alteration of policy, any slight change in our policy toward Iraq?
pst.000043017171How did Iraq recently acquire some 20 four- axis machine tools for use in its ballistic missile efforts?
pst.000043017171How difficult an intelligence task would that be?
pst.000043017171How difficult an intelligence task would this be?
pst.000043017171How has this affected UNSCOM's efforts in the field?
pst.000043017171How long can this go on?
pst.000043017171How long would it take Iraq to activate its nu- clear weapons if it obtained the needed fissile material from the black market or any other source?
pst.000043017171How many such potential weap- ons does Iraq have at the present time?
pst.000043017171How would you deal with the issue that perhaps your frustration is misdirected?
pst.000043017171I traveled to Washington, DC and met with representatives from the State Department and asked, does this mean we have the green light to move on?
pst.000043017171If Iraq chooses in the future to allow the resumption of inspection activity, will it be rewarded with yet another round of comprehensive reviews?
pst.000043017171If it is good enough for Mr. Ritter to raise such questions, why is he criticizing the Secretary of State for doing so?
pst.000043017171If it is good enough for Mr. Ritter to raise such questions, why is he criticizing the Secretary of State?
pst.000043017171Is it both?
pst.000043017171Is that the type of message that is going to convince the Husseins and dictators of the world that we mean business?
pst.000043017171Is the Administration in your view running away from a confrontation with Saddam Hussein?
pst.000043017171Is the United States ready?
pst.000043017171Leon Barkho,"A Farewell to Arms Inspections?
pst.000043017171Mr. Chairman, may I ask one final question?
pst.000043017171Mr. Chairman, may I have my opening statement put in the record?
pst.000043017171One, do you have evidence that Iraq has reconstituted any of its weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000043017171Question: When can we expect a formal indictment?
pst.000043017171Right?
pst.000043017171Should n't the United States be providing a tough, strong leadership that the world will follow, as has happened before during the cold war?
pst.000043017171So there are no inspections?
pst.000043017171So this change of tactics could be perceived as a change of our policy toward Iraq, could it not?
pst.000043017171So we have n't done anything that suggested to him that there is a weakness in our commitment?
pst.000043017171So which is it?
pst.000043017171The last question, has Iraq used the U.N. Oil for Food programs to import dual- use goods or other programs for its banned weapons programs?
pst.000043017171Then why, we might ask, did Mr. Butler give something for another hollow promise?
pst.000043017171There has been no change there?
pst.000043017171This talked about, 40 What do you make of that statement, in terms of what the reali- ties of what has gone on?
pst.000043017171Thomas W. Lippman,"What Can Be Done About India?"
pst.000043017171Was it the President who made that decision, or the Secretary of State, with the President's consent?
pst.000043017171Was that communication to Butler made in a timely fashion?
pst.000043017171Was the Administration's change of tactics communicated to the people out in the field, to the UNSCOM in- spectors?
pst.000043017171Were they from the State Department?
pst.000043017171What about that?
pst.000043017171What efforts has UNSCOM made to destroy or disable these machines?
pst.000043017171What was the U.S. response?
pst.000043017171What would you define as a short period of time?
pst.000043017171What's going on?
pst.000043017171When did he become so frustrated that he felt like he had to resign or is this something that happened just recently?
pst.000043017171Where Do We Go Now?
pst.000043017171Where did those calls come from, to your knowl- edge?
pst.000043017171Where do you want to be with this program in 1999?
pst.000043017171Where is this process taking us?
pst.000043017171Whose hand will control them in the months ahead, and will it be steady?
pst.000043017171Would that be weeks, months, years?
pst.000043017171Would you comment on that?
pst.000043017171Would you like to add something?
pst.000043017171Would you respond to the issues I raised?
pst.000043017171You know, nonetheless, that they have them?
pst.000043017171You say our force is stronger today than it was at the last confrontation; is that true?
pst.000043017171— Are we seeking a commitment from the Kurdish leaders on their ties to Baghdad?
pst.000043017171— Are we supporting mainly exile groups?
pst.000043017171— Can we do more with less?
pst.000043017171— Do we have the ability today with far fewer forces in the region to project credible firepower should that be necessary?
pst.000043017171— How much money has been expended since the enactment of this bill?
pst.000043017171— How much of these funds has been obligated?
pst.000043017171— Is Radio Free Iraq now broadcasting from the Czech Republic?
pst.000043017171— Is either leader pledging not to cooperate with Baghdad and Saddam?
pst.000043017171— Is this effort supporting both the INC and the National Accord groups?
pst.000043017171— What are your specific goals?
pst.000043017171— What do you hope to accomplish during their visit?
pst.000043017171— What is the next step with the two leaders?
pst.000043017171— What specific activities do these funds support?
pst.000043017171— What was the purpose of their visit?

uc1.312100105509689,000?
uc1.31210010550968All right, Peter?
uc1.31210010550968And so now they have restored their military vigor from the exhaustion following the Ira- nian war?
uc1.31210010550968And you will accuse us of vagueness, sir?
uc1.31210010550968Are they small divisions?
uc1.31210010550968At that particular facility?
uc1.31210010550968COCOM, that is the Coordinating Committee on Multilateral Export Controls to Communist Countries?
uc1.31210010550968Can I make a sort of general answer to that, Senator?
uc1.31210010550968Can the United States do anything?
uc1.31210010550968Can you give us an update on the status of that and how you feel that is going to move?
uc1.31210010550968Could you elaborate?
uc1.31210010550968Did I pronounce that correctly?
uc1.31210010550968Did Iraq initiate the use of chemical weapons in that war?
uc1.31210010550968Did Iraq's use of chemi- cal weapons put it in violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol?
uc1.31210010550968Do I have that pronounced correctly, Karim?
uc1.31210010550968Do we have some specifics on that?
uc1.31210010550968Do you believe Iraq has that capability?
uc1.31210010550968Do you consider that Iraq has threatened Israel with destruction by chemical weapons?
uc1.31210010550968Do you cut off contacts with the Soviets?
uc1.31210010550968Do you engage with South Africa, or do you cut off contacts?
uc1.31210010550968Do you have any idea how these viruses could have been allowed to be exported, if they were exported?
uc1.31210010550968Do you sanction them?
uc1.31210010550968Do you see any actual improvement in Iraq's human rights record?
uc1.31210010550968Does Iraq's treatment of the Kurds constitute “ a consistent pattern of gross violations ” of their human rights?
uc1.31210010550968Does it mean anything to violate an international con- vention on something as serious as gas warfare?
uc1.31210010550968Does it mean anything to violate the treaty?
uc1.31210010550968Does the United States Government believe that Iraq is conducting research on anthrax, typhoid, and cholera?
uc1.31210010550968Does the United States recognize a right under international law to use chemical weapons in retaliation for such use?
uc1.31210010550968Does this mean that we can no longer refer to the Manchurian incident?
uc1.31210010550968Has Iraq adopted a more hard- line approach toward Israel since the end of the Iran- Iraq war?
uc1.31210010550968How about Brighton Beach?
uc1.31210010550968How big are their divisions?
uc1.31210010550968How big are their divisions?
uc1.31210010550968How do you alter this kind of outrageous behavior?
uc1.31210010550968How extensively did Iraq use chemical weapons in the Iran- Iraq war?
uc1.31210010550968How large is Iraq's chemical arsenal, and what capabilities do we know it to possess for delivering chemical weapons?
uc1.31210010550968How should Israel and the United States respond to such a threat?
uc1.31210010550968I am sorry?
uc1.31210010550968I am wondering, is there any sense of the rules today?
uc1.31210010550968I asked, like most other citizens, when I first heard of this several months ago, you know, how does something like that happen?
uc1.31210010550968I beg your pardon, they did?
uc1.31210010550968I mean, did we not go to all the other — there are about 80 other nations that have signed that protocol, or — are there probably more?
uc1.31210010550968If not, why not?
uc1.31210010550968If so, how was it acquired?
uc1.31210010550968If so, how?
uc1.31210010550968If you accept you can stay, and if life here does not suit you, go to Iraq+++??
uc1.31210010550968If you accept you can stay, and if life here does not suit you, go to Iraq+++??
uc1.31210010550968In your judgment, does the depopulation of Iraqi Kurdistan constitute a human rights violation?
uc1.31210010550968Instead of saying “ outrageous ” why do you not say “ illegal ”?
uc1.31210010550968Is it possible that Iraq can mount chemical warheads on its modified SCUD missiles with a 400-mile range?
uc1.31210010550968Is that correct?
uc1.31210010550968Is the West Nile fever virus being investigated at Fort Detrick, MD?
uc1.31210010550968Large divisions?
uc1.31210010550968Mr. Chairman, we had a little bill pass the Senate twice, did we not?
uc1.31210010550968Now, my question is, is West Nile fever being investigated at our biological warfare facility at Fort Detrick, MD?
uc1.31210010550968Or is President Hussein just getting involved in a lot of bombast?
uc1.31210010550968Pax et humana, how is that?
uc1.31210010550968So that the Iraqis have rebuilt their mili- tary?
uc1.31210010550968So, would Mr. Curt Goering come forward?
uc1.31210010550968That is a very — I mean, are things so bad in the State Department that they say that the United Nations Char- ter is optional?
uc1.31210010550968There are no villages left in Kurdistan?
uc1.31210010550968Was Iran's use of chemical weapons permissible retaliatory use?
uc1.31210010550968Well, my third question, which will elicit the same answer, I am sure, is which non- Iraqi firms provided plant and equipment to that facility?
uc1.31210010550968Well, why?
uc1.31210010550968What concrete actions did the United States take to deter Iraq from using chemical weapons or to punish Iraq for the use of such weapons?
uc1.31210010550968What do we do?
uc1.31210010550968What have we done?
uc1.31210010550968What impact did threatened U.S. sanctions legislation( the 1988 Pell/ Helms bill) have on Iraq's treatment of its Kurdish population?
uc1.31210010550968What information do you have about the torture and execution of Kurd- ish children?
uc1.31210010550968What is Iraq's involvement in Lebanon?
uc1.31210010550968What is the extent to which the government of Iraq has depopulated the rural areas of Iraqi Kurdistan?
uc1.31210010550968What is the status of Iraq's dispute with Kuwait?
uc1.31210010550968What is the status of the case in Iraq attempted to secure eight forged steel tubes in order to construct a 131-foot cannon?
uc1.31210010550968What is your assessment of these reforms?
uc1.31210010550968What is your estimate of the total number of Iraqi Kurds to die in chemical weapons attacks carried out by the Iraqi military?
uc1.31210010550968What is your opinion of reports that Iraq is engaging in a biological weapons program?
uc1.31210010550968What specifically has the administration done to protest the treatment of the Iraqi Kurds?
uc1.31210010550968Who in the Security Council voted against the 1988 resolution concern- ing sending a team to Iraq to investigate the use of chemical weapons?
uc1.31210010550968Why do things like the CDC's shipping West Nile fever virus to Iraq and other such countries occur?
uc1.31210010550968Why would those have been deleted?
uc1.31210010550968Would Voice of America broadcasts in Kurdish help alleviate that isolation?
uc1.31210010550968Would it be possible to ask if you could give the committee a brief to this point about a violation of the nonproliferation treaty?
uc1.31210010550968Would you like to tell us any thoughts you have on that subject or anything the com- mittee might want to know?
uc1.31210010550968Would your opinion be classified?
uc1.31210010550968You know, why are the Japanese in Manchuria?
pst.00006149071038- tion, why was it correct for us to react militarily in that time, in that circumstance, and incorrect now in this circumstance?
pst.00006149071087 and vital and turbulent region that stretches from Beirut to Bom- bay, from the Mediterranean to the Himalayan Mountains?
pst.000061490710Absolutely the worst foreign policy that I have seen in my life, and then you talk about, why would we talk about Abu Ghraib?
pst.000061490710Ambassador Holbrooke?
pst.000061490710Ambassador Holbrooke?
pst.000061490710And I guess my point is what would be the point of that rhetoric?
pst.000061490710And how is that working out?
pst.000061490710And how would you respond to bin Laden's statement that the third world war has begun in Iraq?
pst.000061490710And if it is internal, why not focus on the political causes?
pst.000061490710And they know that President Bush has ruled out leaving, so where is our leverage?
pst.000061490710And what have you got to lose?
pst.000061490710And who can be satisfied with the way things are today?
pst.000061490710Are we so fearful that if we sit down with this country that we are going to agree to make all kinds of concessions to them?
pst.000061490710At what point does the withdrawal of our military become a higher national- interest priority than is the effort to limit in- stability in Iraq?
pst.000061490710At what point, would you say, we have paid our moral debt for having created the cir- cumstances that led to the current situation?
pst.000061490710Because if we are going to wallow in the gutter with the worst in the world, then how deep have we gone?
pst.000061490710But how do you know unless you try?
pst.000061490710But one of the things that strikes me about it is, what are your alternatives here?
pst.000061490710But should n't we go after al- Qaeda wherever they are?
pst.000061490710But the timelines, you think we will know that very soon?
pst.000061490710But whal of congressional visits?
pst.000061490710But what can I do as a Member of the House of Representatives?
pst.000061490710But what other choice do you have?
pst.000061490710But where do you begin a compromise with people like that?
pst.000061490710But with that said, would you give me your thoughts on the prac- tical aspects of that position which you hold?
pst.000061490710Can you respond?
pst.000061490710Can you tell us if we do fail in Iraq, if we leave too early, if the place descends into chaos, can you teſl us what do you think will happen?
pst.000061490710Can you tell us the effect on our allies like Saudi Arabia?
pst.000061490710Could we do that as a cond ing or through authorization?
pst.000061490710Could we farm an eighth?
pst.000061490710Do I support strong military action against those who attack us?
pst.000061490710Do we have so little confidence in the diplomats of the United States that we are not willing to let them talk to somebody we disagree with?
pst.000061490710Do you believe that conditions will improve significantly in Iraq over the next year?
pst.000061490710Do you have a count of how long your opening repartee was?
pst.000061490710Do you say, okay, we will allow you to kill half the world's Jews?
pst.000061490710Does Iraq matter to the global war on terror?
pst.000061490710Does a U.S. withdrawal help or hurt?
pst.000061490710Does he have the strength, the political will to do it?
pst.000061490710Does it not make sense to begin a phased withdrawal and thereby save hundreds if not thousands of American lives?
pst.000061490710Drive them halfway off the planet?
pst.000061490710First could you comment on whether or not an increase in our troop strength will indeed result in an increase in violence?
pst.000061490710He has been in office now how long?
pst.000061490710How can you possibly argue that American diplomacy toward Iran is working?
pst.000061490710How do we begin to initiate dialogue to seek this po- tential support from Iraq's neighbors?

pst.000061490710How do we deal with the estimated 6,000 al- Qaeda in western Iraq who are there as a result of the war?

pst.000061490710How do you achieve peace without talking to your enemies?
pst.000061490710How do you negotiate with that?
pst.000061490710How do you see Saudi Arabia?
pst.000061490710How do you see some of these other countries?
pst.000061490710How do you talk to a compromise with a government that is a terrorist state?
pst.000061490710How would you deal with that issue?
pst.000061490710I am talking too long?
pst.000061490710I do think that fighting terror is absolutely essential for us, but are we doing it in the best way?
pst.000061490710I get a break there, do n't I?
pst.000061490710I wish we had had this debate 4 years ago where there really were ques- tions about why we went into this war, were the facts accurate?
pst.000061490710If I could interrupt briefly, but on Hamas, what do you recommend we do?
pst.000061490710If you can tell us what has changed in your views?
pst.000061490710Is it to be a referee trying to prevent mayhem in a game without rules?
pst.000061490710Is it to be to be a referee trying to prevent mayhem in a game without rules?
pst.000061490710Is our mission to play the role of hired gun for one side against the other?
pst.000061490710Is our mission to play the role of hired gun for one side against the other?
pst.000061490710Madam Secretary, in all the U.N. resolutions on Iraq, did n't we also pursue diplomatic means?
pst.000061490710Madam Secretary, since there are just a few mo- ments left, what are some of the other constructive ways to express concern?
pst.000061490710Madam Secretary, what strategy should we have for success in the war on global terrorism and radical Islam, assuming Iraq goes very poorly in the end?
pst.000061490710May I ask what it is?
pst.000061490710Mr. Chairman, is the gentleman's time up?
pst.000061490710Mr. Chairman, when do you need to leave?
pst.000061490710My 17 question is would you have supported the surge if it was a year ago, which the op- ed clearly seemed to convey, or is it the timing?
pst.000061490710My question to you today is, What authority does this President have to expand his occupation to Iran and possibly Syria?
pst.000061490710Or cut up Israel into factions?
pst.000061490710Or is it to protect all sides from violence by all sides?
pst.000061490710Pardon?
pst.000061490710Should n't we go after the al- Qaeda wherever they are?
pst.000061490710Since this is clear- ly one of the top items on the agenda of the Congress, would you be willing to expand and elaborate?
pst.000061490710So may I respectfully suggest that there be over- sight hearings on what the role of Iran is and what the plans of the administration are about Iran?
pst.000061490710So the problem here is, how do you begin in some man- ner to reduce your commitments and obligations in Iraq?
pst.000061490710Speaking of this question of civil war, what percent of the trouble in Iraq right now do you think is an insurgency, and what percent is internal?
pst.000061490710TEK How urgent is it?
pst.000061490710The obstacles are pretty easy to set forth, but how do you know unless you try?
pst.000061490710The question is, What are you going to do about it?
pst.000061490710To whom should we speak in Iran?
pst.000061490710Well, is he incapable?
pst.000061490710Wh at does it mean?
pst.000061490710What are you prepared to do about it?
pst.000061490710What did we do?
pst.000061490710What exactly do you mean by that?
pst.000061490710What is our vital national interest in the region?
pst.000061490710What is the option with Iran?
pst.000061490710What is the option?
pst.000061490710What is the problem with the surge now?
pst.000061490710What is the way that we can do that?
pst.000061490710What platform is available for such a conversation?
pst.000061490710What sense does this make?
pst.000061490710Where has that gotten us?
pst.000061490710Who are these war- lords?
pst.000061490710Whom should we engage?
pst.000061490710Why did n't the President accept the recommendations of the Iraq Study Group and on the contrary, why has his message become so belligerent?
pst.000061490710Why do we have to tell Maliki what to do?
pst.000061490710Why do we talk to countries that are terrorist states?
pst.000061490710Why is a carrier group being sent into the Gulf?
pst.000061490710Why make one problem harder by taking on two?
pst.000061490710Will it work?
pst.000061490710Will that increase the possibility of nuclear proliferation in the area?
pst.000061490710Will those countries defend themselves against Iran?
pst.000061490710Would n't that be better than just trying to open up a series of private negotia- tions with the various countries like Syria and Iran?
pst.000061490710Would that force the President to come back to the Congress before he can take action in Iraq- in Iran?
pst.000061490710Would you agree with that?
pst.000061490710om::- c om I Sy What sense does this make?
pst.0000614917933 19 Could it be that the Administration does not have an exit strategy because they do not intend to exit?
pst.0000614917939 what if the violence continues?
pst.000061491793And especially when I see polls cited that 80 percent of the Iraqis want us out of Iraq, and it's always, well, what do they mean by that?
pst.000061491793And is part of the strategy?
pst.000061491793And we have still not dealt with a serious issue: Are we ever going to leave Iraq?
pst.000061491793And what if the violence continues?
pst.000061491793And why ca n't the American people know ahead of time what these specific benchmarks are?
pst.000061491793Answerable to whom?
pst.000061491793Are the Syrians cooperating with stopping jihaddists from crossing Syria into Iraq?
pst.000061491793Are their attacks directed at one sect or Sunni, Shi'as and Kurds?
pst.000061491793Are there any questions?
pst.000061491793Are we allowing market forces to establish themselves more effectively in that economy today than had been the case 6 months to a year ago?
pst.000061491793Are we sometimes getting coopera- tion and sometimes not?
pst.000061491793Are you a partisan?
pst.000061491793Are you tracking or is our Government tracking by program?
pst.000061491793Based on the number of Iraqi security forces we train?
pst.000061491793Because they not only have a large Kurdish population in Iran but do n't they have a fairly substantive Shi'a- Arab population as well?
pst.000061491793Before then, the State Department had a limited role, correct?
pst.000061491793But what conditions?
pst.000061491793Can I clarify, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000061491793Can we total it by program the full cost of the involve- ment in Iraq of the$ 311 billion?
pst.000061491793Can you break it down by what's going for rebuilding critical infrastructure, how much for Iraqi se- curity services?
pst.000061491793Can you break it down in those categories?
pst.000061491793Can you give me a quick assessment as how that has changed?
pst.000061491793Can you hear me?
pst.000061491793Can you say a word on that?
pst.000061491793Can you speak a little bit about billions of dollars which presumably have not been accounted for?
pst.000061491793Can you speak to the strategy that guided us for that first year?
pst.000061491793Could it be this administration does n't have an exit strategy be- cause they do n't intend to exit?
pst.000061491793Did GAO receive from DOD sufficient detailed in- formation about the cost and types of military installations in Iraq?
pst.000061491793Did you, for example, seek access to these bases at Balad and others to see how permanent or impermanent they may be?
pst.000061491793Do they want to succeed?
pst.000061491793Do you adjust and compensate for things that you either thought would be true, turns out not to be, or things that you did n't anticipate?
pst.000061491793Do you learn?
pst.000061491793Do you think that it was a reasonable assump- tion going in that the oil income would be a significant supplement to the rebuilding?
pst.000061491793Does n't it make it more difficult to succeed in Iraq when you ignore failure?
pst.000061491793Does the strategy meet that?
pst.000061491793Dr. Pollack, do you want to go first, define success, define fail- ure?
pst.000061491793From the review of these weapons, is it clear that they are Iraqi in origin?
pst.000061491793How can the American people have confidence that we are less likely to make mistakes today than in the past?
pst.000061491793How many troops would that be, General?
pst.000061491793How much — can you tell this committee, what is the war going to cost?
pst.000061491793How will the Administration decide when the American people have done enough?
pst.000061491793I guess, Ambassador Jeffrey, your insights in how critical is that in the big picture, and where do we stand in trying to move toward that effort?
pst.000061491793I had Iraqis say, why did you put my brother, my uncle, my cous- in, my father out of work?
pst.000061491793I mean, did this plan as you understand it include dealing with the economic reconstruction of Iraq, the political stabilization of Iraq?
pst.000061491793I'mm umv ll. UJ Tff WMHBK?
pst.000061491793If you could, could you elaborate on your sense of how the Iraqi people perceive their reality?
pst.000061491793Is it from a textbook, general practices?
pst.000061491793Is it significant if they succeed to their overall goals?
pst.000061491793Is n't it true that if Iraq were to break into three parts that they not only have a Kurdish problem but they would have a Shi'a- Arab problem?
pst.000061491793Is n't that going to give us more failure?
pst.000061491793Is that a fair analysis of what's the significance of June 2004?
pst.000061491793Is that correct, or is it a little bit different?
pst.000061491793Is that true or false?
pst.000061491793Is there a timeframe — it was 4 months — as far as when the commis- sions work?
pst.000061491793Is this an accurate statement?
pst.000061491793It is not your testimony, is it or not, that we need to leave?
pst.000061491793It is your point that you want this committee to know that we do n't have a way to evaluate suc- cess or failure of the strategy, is that correct?
pst.000061491793Mr. Walker, you want to address that?
pst.000061491793Ms. Long, do you have any comment about that?
pst.000061491793Now what is the level of incompetence, of abuse, of waste?
pst.000061491793Now, Mr. Walker, what at- tempts did GAO make to find the answers to these questions about bases?
pst.000061491793Now, are you saying that the cost is decoupled from your strategy?
pst.000061491793Now, do you have documents, you know, anywhere in the Depart- ment of Defense that estimates the cost of the war over a long pe- riod of time?
pst.000061491793Now, in 2005, the Iraqi Army nominally had about 115 battalions; is that correct?
pst.000061491793Of the$ 311 billion, why ca n't we give some of it to the Iraqi people to rebuild their own schools and hospitals and oil fields?
pst.000061491793One was, have we taken the actions to diffuse sectarian and ethnic dif- ferences and achieve national reconciliation?
pst.000061491793Our troops are still in harm's way, and we have still not dealt with the serious issue, are we ever going to leave Iraq?
pst.000061491793Sectarian Violence/ Militias/ Civil War?
pst.000061491793So I asked, are they Iraqi in origin?
pst.000061491793So with that, Mr. Walker, can you hear us?
pst.000061491793So you are saying there is information available, or there is not?
pst.000061491793So, Mr. Walker, did the GAO succeed where our subcommittee efforts have not?
pst.000061491793Some experts consider the 1 See CRS Report RL32217, Iraq andAl Qaeda: Allies or Not?, by Kenneth Katzman.
pst.000061491793That would be about 80,000 troops, roughly?
pst.000061491793The White House directly?
pst.000061491793The bottom line is you do n't have any doubt that they're there and you have no doubt that they're taking it to us, correct?
pst.000061491793The bottom line to your answer is there are three parts to the strategy that you agree with and three that you disagree, is that correct?
pst.000061491793The question is, why do the insurgents have popular support?
pst.000061491793The strategy, based partly on an idea advanced by Andrew Krepinevich in the September/ October 2005 issue of Foreign Affairs?
pst.000061491793Then I will ask someone, are you a Sunni or a Shi'a or a Kurd?
pst.000061491793Under what basis do you decide the six?
pst.000061491793Was the GAO given a detailed briefing of the DOD's intentions for facilities in Iraq?
pst.000061491793We all want to succeed, but how do we get there?
pst.000061491793We are not there for the long term?
pst.000061491793Were mistakes made in this war?
pst.000061491793Were you able to ascertain whether or not future costs and resources were addressed?
pst.000061491793What I'm testifying is, based upon our work, what do we think the key ele- ments need to be in order to maximize the chance of success?
pst.000061491793What are our performance measures?
pst.000061491793What are the six best practices that you would say have to be in every strategy?
pst.000061491793What did you say a few moments ago was the actual current market price for gasoline in Iraq?
pst.000061491793What do you have to say about that?
pst.000061491793What exactly are the plans for a long- range military presence in Iraq?
pst.000061491793What is the relationship that we have with Syria at this point?
pst.000061491793What they anticipated — could I get back to your first question about the permissive security environment?
pst.000061491793What was the document that would detail our strategy?
pst.000061491793What was the original plan as far as the use of the oil income in Iraq?
pst.000061491793What were the guiding mechanisms that we used?
pst.000061491793When will the Administration decide it is time to go?
pst.000061491793When will the administration de- cide it's time to go, and why ca n't the American people know ahead of time what the specific benchmarks are?
pst.000061491793When you put up a supermarket or swimming pool or fast- food restaurant, do they go into temporary facilities as well?
pst.000061491793Where do we stand in trying to get arms around or the Iraqi Government getting its arms around the militia issue?
pst.000061491793Where do we stand on that timeframe?
pst.000061491793Which are?
pst.000061491793Who are we kidding?
pst.000061491793Who in the army keeps track of the records of the weapons that are provided by the United States to the Iraqi Army?
pst.000061491793Who told them that?
pst.000061491793Who was giving them advice it would be a permissive environment, and why did they ignore all these experts, including the President's father?
pst.000061491793Why could n't they at least guard a hospital?
pst.000061491793Why did you put my son out of work?
pst.000061491793Why have n't we been able to con- tract with the Iraqi people like General Petraeus so successfully did?
pst.000061491793Will the Administration's decision be based on reducing the number of attacks each week?
pst.000061491793Will the administration's decision be based on reducing the number of attacks each week, and what are our performance measures?
pst.000061491793Will the gentlelady yield?
pst.000061491793Would that be consistent with your understanding of what it was like, say — let's say, a couple of years ago?
pst.000061491793Would you agree that in any or- ganization if you ignore and reward failure you get more failure?
pst.000061491793Would you agree that it was a major change, a piv- otal point when you transferred power to the Iraqis in June 2004?
pst.000061491793You are actu- ally finding weapons; is that correct?
pst.000061491793You are actually finding weapons; is that correct?
pst.000061491793You know, where are the weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000061491793You were ap- pointed, I understand, by — who were you appointed by?
pst.000061491793You were recommended by President Clinton?

pst.000021237553Another part of that second question is whether there is any rea- son to continue any inspections under new arrangements?
pst.000021237553Any reason why this philosophy is not a good philosophy?
pst.000021237553Are our allies in the re- gion beginning to look more favorably upon the breakup of Iraq?
pst.000021237553Are there other reassessments taking place about other elements e that we should be cognizant of, especially if future military action is required?
pst.000021237553Are they still flying to any countries?
pst.000021237553Are we not deluding ourselves in substituting a formal process for a substantive goal, if all this can be rebuilt in a rel- atively short time?
pst.000021237553Are you sure of that figure?
pst.000021237553As to the U.N. objective that this Congress voted to support 19 months ago: Do you feel it currently is being met?
pst.000021237553As we saw in the Libyan raid where France refused to let us fly over?
pst.000021237553At the moment, the question is, how does he read the July standoff?
pst.000021237553Because if he had defeated Iran — the Shah had just fallen — who could have protected the States of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia?
pst.000021237553But does this mean we will in- tervene everywhere when something awful appears on television?
pst.000021237553But how much is Washington committed to see a democratic alternative succeed in Iraq?
pst.000021237553But left unsaid at the end of your answers to my question was why is this such a big deal if China did veto it?
pst.000021237553But to what end?
pst.000021237553But what does that mean?
pst.000021237553Can Sanctions Lead to Saddam's Overthrow?
pst.000021237553Could that not have been supported under inter- national law?
pst.000021237553Did you care to comment, madam?
pst.000021237553Did your views change when you took the uniform off or did they stay consistent?
pst.000021237553Do I think it is inevitable?
pst.000021237553Do any of you know anything about it?
pst.000021237553Do they have to go through the same thing again?
pst.000021237553Do you think there is enough will to back that precedent up?
pst.000021237553Does anybody else have a question?
pst.000021237553Does that include air power, aircraft also, or are you just talking about numbers of people?
pst.000021237553Does the U.N. need to pass another resolution to enforce 688 or 687?
pst.000021237553Even if we were suc- cessful, which we do n't seem to be, what is the meaning of that success?
pst.000021237553First, gentlemen, I would like to ask you to help us refine our basic question, which is: Is 687 worth enforcing militarily?
pst.000021237553Five years?
pst.000021237553Furthermore, there is undoubtedly rage in Iraq at the tough times, but at whom is it directed?
pst.000021237553Has the commis- sion been ineffective itself in carrying out its duties?
pst.000021237553Have we closed most of the countries?
pst.000021237553Have we crossed the Rubicon?
pst.000021237553Have we learned lessons in Iraq that perhaps we have not made adequate accounting for in the CWC?
pst.000021237553How does it work in other cases?
pst.000021237553How does it work in this case?
pst.000021237553How far back did you want me to go?
pst.000021237553How is Iraq Evading Sanctions?
pst.000021237553Husayn Kamil, Saddam's son- in- law, said to the Kurdish delegation,"How long 26 will the United States stay there, 1 year, 2 years or 5 years?
pst.000021237553I ask, did Mr. Bush stop the war before he completed the destruc- tion of enough of Iraq's Republican Guards?
pst.000021237553I can tell you that when he graduates from that German technical institute the Iraqi Government will take him, what did you learn in Germany?
pst.000021237553I guess when people say should we have stopped when we did?
pst.000021237553I thought, my God, has n't anything changed?
pst.000021237553I wonder if the world would be different now?
pst.000021237553I wonder, first of all, if all of you believe that military action is inevitable; and, if it is inevitable, to what end?
pst.000021237553I would like to ask each of you, A, what was your advice and rec- ommendation; B, how accurate were you?
pst.000021237553If that is the case what happens then to the remaining Kurdish popu- lation?
pst.000021237553If the threat of chemical- biological warfare and capabilities is significant, is there any reason to continue that?
pst.000021237553If we go back in, do we use those lessons to our advantage?
pst.000021237553If you fail bluff, how are you badly hurt if you show your macho strength on something that is righteous and you fail to succeed?
pst.000021237553Is it simply to gain access to particular buildings that we want to inspect?
pst.000021237553Is it to punish Saddam?
pst.000021237553Is it to remove Saddam?
pst.000021237553Is that a possibility from a military standpoint?
pst.000021237553Is that an objective that we could foresee in the future, of a so- called same type of situation?
pst.000021237553Is there a list of targets you can hit in Serbia that would force them to stop supporting this action in Bosnia?
pst.000021237553Is there a set of targets that you could hit in Iraq that will force the government to abide by 688?
pst.000021237553It looks like it is all beneficial to the U.N. Why would they have any cold feet about it?
pst.000021237553Let me do that first, if you will?
pst.000021237553Not possible?
pst.000021237553Not very serious?
pst.000021237553Obstructions as we saw when the French refused to let us fly over their territory on the way to Libya?
pst.000021237553Or, third, is this simply the nature of Saddam Hussein?
pst.000021237553Possible?
pst.000021237553Richard, how can you say this?
pst.000021237553Second, if the chemical and biological weapons are a major threat that needs to be addressed, have we passed the de- cisive point of no return?
pst.000021237553Serious?
pst.000021237553Seriously, are you talking about Desert Storm and the buildup?
pst.000021237553Should other countries then say,"Well, we can do the same thing and we will never get caught? ” Ms. MYLROIE.
pst.000021237553Should we have gone to Baghdad or should we have stopped when we did?
pst.000021237553Should we have gone to Baghdad?
pst.000021237553Should we have gone to Baghdad?
pst.000021237553So I ask, what is the purpose of all of this?
pst.000021237553So being at war, why do we have to worry about China?
pst.000021237553So how would you feel about this?
pst.000021237553So they could proceed under 687 to enforce sanc- tions without further resolution?
pst.000021237553So why do n't we do it, particularly if it is done for international objectives for paying rep- arations and things like that?
pst.000021237553Someone also made a statement that their arms were rebuilt 70 to 80 percent?
pst.000021237553Suppose Hussein goes but is replaced with somebody just as thuggish and who has the same objectives?
pst.000021237553That is, what is the biggest problem of enforcing sanctions?
pst.000021237553That we have to be more vigorous in forcing Saddam Hussein to comply with the resolu- tions?
pst.000021237553Then you have to say what are the options for air power?
pst.000021237553There is none operating in the United States?
pst.000021237553This is to start using the frozen assets?
pst.000021237553Was a similar case the set of tar- gets we hit in Libya to force the Libyan Government to desist from conducting its terrorist operations?
pst.000021237553Was this a White House attempt to mischaracterize the Salwan talks because Schwarzkopf had been pursuing a secret asenda that failed?
pst.000021237553We also denied him The 89 bacco in Kentucky?
pst.000021237553We have grounded all their commercial aircraft; am I correct in that?
pst.000021237553What I mean by that is, is there any reason to continue to pur- sue the United Nations inspections under the present cir- cumstances?
pst.000021237553What are they accomplishing at this point?
pst.000021237553What are we going to do if Saddam- worst case scenario — if Saddam responds to that forcefully?
pst.000021237553What are we to learn about their future use either by Iraq or the capabilities being developed by other countries?
pst.000021237553What are we to make of this situation?
pst.000021237553What do we know about this report of an attempt on Saddam Hussein?
pst.000021237553What is the State of the Iraqi Economy?
pst.000021237553What is the goal if that military action is inevitable?
pst.000021237553What is your judgment on that?
pst.000021237553What is your read on the opposi- tion groups?
pst.000021237553What was it, 3 to 5 days to take out those documents?
pst.000021237553What will the United States do if Saddam Hussein launches a determined assault on the Kurds?
pst.000021237553What would disturb the U.N.?
pst.000021237553What would it take to get into that same type of a situation in Iraq?
pst.000021237553What would the U.N. worry about?
pst.000021237553When did it end?
pst.000021237553Where are we in this sane world today?
pst.000021237553Who is this fellow?
pst.000021237553Who stopped this war?
pst.000021237553Why could n't you get that kind of mechanism going?
pst.000021237553Why did he make that concession?
pst.000021237553Why did n't we do it?
pst.000021237553Why do n't we use Iraq as a case study to stimulate thinking about creating a tribunal to try international criminals?
pst.000021237553Why is n't that doable?
pst.000021237553With that note of caution, what can be done to increase the economic pressure?
pst.000021237553Yesterday, the discussion was what if the American population saw, on the nightly television, the horror stories of Bosnia- Herzegovina?
pst.000021237553kopit say no?
pst.000021237553you can use( helicopters for transportation, but that's it?
pst.000021237553Šecond, should the United States look more favorably on the notion of a breakup of Iraq?
umn.31951d03526885w34 worried that this region of Iraq will become a destabilizing flashpoint?
umn.31951d03526885wAre there concerns about the future?
umn.31951d03526885wAre there going to be risks associated with the contractors?
umn.31951d03526885wAre they also working with other nations in the Middle East to share that concern?
umn.31951d03526885wAre you referring to the 2008 Security Agree- ment?
umn.31951d03526885wAs we look into the future, the next 10, 15, 20 years, what is the shared interest that we expect to continue to have with Iraq'?
umn.31951d03526885wAs we were talking about it, he says, “ well, how many people are you talking about?
umn.31951d03526885wCan you all stay here for that period of time?
umn.31951d03526885wCan you assure this com- mittee that the State Department will be able to perform this un- precedented task?
umn.31951d03526885wCan you comment on the assessment that the amount of munitions used in each attack is on the rise?
umn.31951d03526885wCan you discuss how we are working with some of our partners in the region to try and thwart that influence?
umn.31951d03526885wDo they see that as a possibility and are they concerned about it?
umn.31951d03526885wDo we have any other alternatives?
umn.31951d03526885wDo we have time?
umn.31951d03526885wDo you think that is realistic?
umn.31951d03526885wDo you think we are accom- plishing that?
umn.31951d03526885wDr. Pollack, should President Bush have refused in 2008 to re- move troops by December 2011?
umn.31951d03526885wDr. Pollack, should we leave troops in Iraq without immunity from prosecution in Iraqi courts?
umn.31951d03526885wDr. Pollack?
umn.31951d03526885wFrom your perspective, the Government of Iraq was not prepared to give appropriate immunities to American forces?
umn.31951d03526885wGeneral, do you have a comment on that?
umn.31951d03526885wHow involved is Russia in actually helping them gain nuclear ca- pabilities?
umn.31951d03526885wI guess my question is, is Iran comfortable with a democracy on their border in Iraq, Secretary Panetta?
umn.31951d03526885wIn negotiating the 2008 Bush- Maliki Agreement, did the United States seek to retain U.S. military forces in Iraq after December 2011?
umn.31951d03526885wIs it your testimony that we were proposing 16,000 to the Iraqis and they said no?
umn.31951d03526885wIs that accurate, Mr. Secretary?
umn.31951d03526885wIs that correct?
umn.31951d03526885wIs that correct?
umn.31951d03526885wIs that the Iraqi position that they have come to the point in their political military life that they just do not need us at all?
umn.31951d03526885wMr. McGurk and Dr. Ollivant, in your assessment, how resil- ient has the democratic process been in Iraq?
umn.31951d03526885wRelative to the U.S.-Turkey cooperation on the Kurds, how is Iraq responding to that?
umn.31951d03526885wSecretary Panetta, what obstacles did the administration face in attempting to secure such immunity?
umn.31951d03526885wSenator MCCASKILL Secretary Panetta, do you believe that anything could have been done differently that would have £ din a different outcome?
umn.31951d03526885wSenator, could I comment on that question?
umn.31951d03526885wSenator, you are talking about getting from 24,000 down — the existing force now and having it retrograde back through Kuwait?
umn.31951d03526885wSo can you just give us an update on that situation?
umn.31951d03526885wSo how did this fall apart?
umn.31951d03526885wSo what is the Sunni speaker of the par- liament's position about U.S. forces?
umn.31951d03526885wSo what will be the implications of the full withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq'?
umn.31951d03526885wSo why withdraw?
umn.31951d03526885wSo withdraw to 50,000?
umn.31951d03526885wSo would you bring to bear your experience and best judg- ment?
umn.31951d03526885wSome of those would be combat troops?
umn.31951d03526885wWhat caused the cascading effect?
umn.31951d03526885wWhat is being done to sustain a check on the dangerous Iranian regime?
umn.31951d03526885wWhat is the Kurdish position in Iraq about U.S. forces?
umn.31951d03526885wWhat is your number? ” I turned to Ambassador Jeffrey and General Aus- tin and said you have not given them numbers.
umn.31951d03526885wWhat was the administration's response?
umn.31951d03526885wWhat will things look like in Iraq from a SOF standpoint going forward, and what type of engagement would our SOF have in Iraq'?
umn.31951d03526885wWill these contractors be able to perform the function that they are needed to perform?
umn.31951d03526885wWill they be secure?
umn.31951d03526885wWould you agree with me on that, Mr. Secretary?
umn.31951d03526885wWould you be sure that it is well- discussed, the dangers of a total removal of the military and totally turning this over to the State Department?
pst.00006552092529 Do you think they are losing some of their shine that they had ini- tially and losing some of their popularity?
pst.000065520925A document of any kind?
pst.000065520925A question we asked each of them was would they support a move toward a partition?
pst.000065520925And I was just sort of wondering, A, why was the study group that dismissive?
pst.000065520925And also, what do you think our strategy should be to counteract that in the media perceptions not only in Iraq, but here at home?
pst.000065520925And can you sepa- rate the two in this current environment?
pst.000065520925And given that we do n't have the troops to maintain this past next spring under any scenario, how do we get over that hump?
pst.000065520925And how do you think we got there?
pst.000065520925And so the question today is what should our future policy be?
pst.000065520925And that is whether we are there or not?
pst.000065520925And this is why — I was just wonder- ing, I mean, are we in danger of breaking the United States Army through this high rate of deployment?
pst.000065520925And when was your most recent visit?
pst.000065520925And where were you at that time?
pst.000065520925And, B, do you think it is time to maybe revisit that?
pst.000065520925Are we at risk of being unable to meet other challenges because our U.S. military is bogged down in Iraq?
pst.000065520925Are we in danger of breaking the United States Army through the high rate of de- ployment and repeated deployments?
pst.000065520925Are we in the middle of a civil war?
pst.000065520925Are we there to bring democracy to Iraq?
pst.000065520925Are you a part of the neocon group that wanted to go into Iraq?
pst.000065520925Are you there at this time as the best strategy?
pst.000065520925Based on your experi- ence, could you describe for us the nature of the al Qaeda organiza- tion?
pst.000065520925But is part of the difficulty that it is perhaps more emotional?
pst.000065520925But this is the question in the article: Are you ready to support reinstating Selective Service?
pst.000065520925Can you tell me specifically where you would get the troops?
pst.000065520925Congress must end its ineffectual Kabuki dance on spending and call the question on policy: what are the administration's plans and are they wise?
pst.000065520925Could we con- tinue this surge beyond the spring if we chose to?
pst.000065520925Could you break that down in your think- ing, particularly in terms of numbers and ideology?
pst.000065520925Do they go in the right direction?
pst.000065520925Do we have better data?
pst.000065520925Do we need people who are not from our coun- try but could use a green card?
pst.000065520925Do we need them in order to continue fight- ing?
pst.000065520925Do we need them to continue the fight?
pst.000065520925Do we need who?
pst.000065520925Do you still be- lieve that?
pst.000065520925Do you think in retrospect that was a mistake?
pst.000065520925Do you think it is a good sign or a bad sign that mortars are now hitting the Green Zone, and that people are having to walk around with their armor?
pst.000065520925Do you think that is achievable?
pst.000065520925Do you think there is a downside for them in terms of their position in the Muslim world?
pst.000065520925Do you think there is going to come a time that this Congress and the President, whoever he or she might be, are going to have to discuss the draft?
pst.000065520925Do you think they are losing some of their initial popu- larity?
pst.000065520925Do you think we have a better handle on the numbers of troops and Iraqi police now than we did in March?
pst.000065520925Do you think we need to go into Iran?
pst.000065520925Dr. Kagan, do you have any idea what that force would take, what it would look like?
pst.000065520925Dr. Kagan, how many times have you been to Iraq?
pst.000065520925Dr. Mathews and Dr. Perry, what do you think about that?
pst.000065520925Dr. Perry, would you agree with Dr. Mathews that there was very little, if any, strength of al Qaeda in Iraq be- fore the invasion?
pst.000065520925Has it ever been debated at senior levels?
pst.000065520925How are we basing the data now?
pst.000065520925How big a presence and for what purposes?
pst.000065520925How do we deal with the troops?
pst.000065520925How is that pos- sibly a sufficient amount of time?
pst.000065520925How small?
pst.000065520925I am not saying do you advocate a draft or not, but where do you go?
pst.000065520925If we are going to increase the numbers, where in the world are we going to get the people?
pst.000065520925If we increase the numbers, where are we going to get the manpower?
pst.000065520925In what capacity?
pst.000065520925Is Iran critical?
pst.000065520925Is it a meaningless sign, or is it a bad sign that maybe we are los- ing control right inside our embassy area?
pst.000065520925Is that to bring democracy to Iraq?
pst.000065520925Is that your overriding belief, that we are there to bring democracy to Iraq?
pst.000065520925Is there a settled policy?
pst.000065520925Is there really any possibility of ending this thing the way you want to without truly breaking us militarily, our Army?
pst.000065520925Last question, do you think we should do the same for Iran?
pst.000065520925On the average, how many of those attacks are launched by al Qaeda?
pst.000065520925One is the one that I mentioned, clear and hold for how long?
pst.000065520925One, is it wrong?
pst.000065520925Or could you tell me what it is exactly?
pst.000065520925Pardon me?
pst.000065520925Secretary Perry, when you came here in February, I asked you the question, how long would it be before you became a date- cer- tain person?
pst.000065520925Skipping forward to next spring when we ca n't hold it any longer because we do n't have the troops to maintain the surge, what happens then?
pst.000065520925So your sugges- tion now is to extend the time that the troops are there?
pst.000065520925So, number one, is part of the difficulty that we really are not being very discerning about these insurgent — about al Qaeda and the insurgency?
pst.000065520925That date, if it were to be a goal and become a date certain, is it really the right date, or did you really mean about a year and a quarter?
pst.000065520925There are other stra- 38 tegic challenges that we may face throughout the world; is that cor- rect?
pst.000065520925This is the question: Before the war in Iraq, what was the size of al Qaeda in Iraq when Saddam was in power?
pst.000065520925Until they decide to resolve their differences politically?
pst.000065520925Was it a failed state before we went in?
pst.000065520925Was the question fully answered?
pst.000065520925Was this a civilian decision?
pst.000065520925Was this a military decision?
pst.000065520925We ca n't stop it by our presence?
pst.000065520925Were those benchmarks the wrong criteria?
pst.000065520925What are those disincentives?
pst.000065520925What capacity?
pst.000065520925What do you think should be our strategy to- ward Iraq and the region?
pst.000065520925What is the administration's thinking regarding a long term U.S. military presence in Iraq?
pst.000065520925What is your opinion about it?
pst.000065520925What would that be?
pst.000065520925What would that force look like, forgetting if it would be suc- cessful or not?
pst.000065520925Where would you get the troops?
pst.000065520925Who invited you?
pst.000065520925Who is to say whether an American departure would be- on balance — a shot in the arm or a significant mid and long term loss?
pst.000065520925Why worst?
pst.000065520925Why would they go across the borders to do that?
pst.000065520925Will it continue; will it be stabilized if there is no progress?
pst.000065520925Will that happen by the spring?
pst.000065520925Would that be a good policy?
pst.000065520925Yes or no, do you agree with General Pace on the comment?
pst.000065520925Yes or no?
pst.000065520925You know, what is the impact on the United States military of continuing our involvement in Iraq?

pur1.3275407797749874 To Ambassador Jones, do you believe that this administration underestimated the level and abilities of insurgents in Iraq?
pur1.32754077977498? S 59B 1 172 and other units, with either government or nongovernment sup- port.
pur1.32754077977498Ambassador, do you care to add any comment, just in general about the questions that I've asked?
pur1.32754077977498And Mr. Todd?
pur1.32754077977498And he came in before Bremer?
pur1.32754077977498And so, should I have some confidence that this trained and equipped number we are at right now — at what number now?
pur1.32754077977498And that number, if you could, that peek of the train rep- resents — what was that number?
pur1.32754077977498And that's May 2004?
pur1.32754077977498And then Admiral Sullivan, will you have testimony that you would like to share as well, a statement?
pur1.32754077977498And they were hired by the Iraqi government?
pur1.32754077977498Any closing comments?
pur1.32754077977498Any other comment?
pur1.32754077977498Anybody?
pur1.32754077977498Are you on the red line, sir?
pur1.32754077977498Are you prepared to tell us which groups here are the better trained?
pur1.32754077977498Are you talking about the$ 9 billion reference?
pur1.32754077977498Before I end, what I do — I would like this: Is there any question we should have asked?
pur1.32754077977498But if you could add more numbers and do the same amount, you do n't object to that?
pur1.32754077977498But is it feasible that we would be making the police capable to fight military?
pur1.32754077977498But let me first ask you, Admiral, how about the police?
pur1.32754077977498Can you speak to that issue?
pur1.32754077977498Coalition Member Support for Training Efforts Since the fall of Saddam Hussein's regime, members of the U.S. led Multinational Force( MNF)?
pur1.32754077977498Could you speak for him on that?
pur1.32754077977498Did you ever investigate these allegations?
pur1.32754077977498Did you make any attempt to persuade the Kuwaitis to approve another company?
pur1.32754077977498Do we honestly expect them to be ready by the end of this year or next?
pur1.32754077977498Do you have another chart?
pur1.32754077977498Do you have any closing comment or should we get to the next panel?
pur1.32754077977498Do you have any interest in the report?
pur1.32754077977498Do you see that it's likely that the Iraqis would allow American troops to be in Iraq 10 years from now?
pur1.32754077977498Do you think it is possible, Admiral, that we will have another drop as we redefine or when I say"redefine, ” when we qualify what we really need?
pur1.32754077977498Do you think that we are looking at kind of the last drop, and we are pret- ty comfortable with this base to work on?
pur1.32754077977498Do you want to give some accounting here, to be the first person in the administration to offer a guess as to where the money is?
pur1.32754077977498Does that account for the whole drop, or were there some other reasons for that drop?
pur1.32754077977498Finally, what can be done?
pur1.32754077977498General Garner?
pur1.32754077977498Has he considered turning operations over to the U.N. at any point?
pur1.32754077977498Have you ever heard of Mr. al- Humaidhi?
pur1.32754077977498Have you seen such a plan?
pur1.32754077977498He would only be there for?
pur1.32754077977498Hello?
pur1.32754077977498How are Iraqi security forces recruited and vetted?
pur1.32754077977498How do you react to this when you see it?
pur1.32754077977498How many Iraqi security forces have been fully trained, and how many are considered capable of assuming security duties?
pur1.32754077977498How would each of you advise avoiding that pitfall?
pur1.32754077977498I do n't like to interrupt your testimony, but can you put numbers of personnel next to those?
pur1.32754077977498I guess what I am trying to do is — is it possible for me to hear your numbers compared to these numbers?
pur1.32754077977498I mean, I realize their missions are different, but can you tell us where you have a little bit more confidence?
pur1.32754077977498I mean, is the army better trained than the police?
pur1.32754077977498If Ambassador Bremer hears that KBR is still dragging its feet, he will be livid. ” You wrote that e- mail, did n't you?
pur1.32754077977498Is Saddam directing this from his cell?
pur1.32754077977498Is it 132?
pur1.32754077977498Is that correct?
pur1.32754077977498Is there any closing comment that any of you would like to make?
pur1.32754077977498Is there any comments before any- Mr. Secretary, do you have any additional comment before we start the questions?
pur1.32754077977498Is there any point that you choose to make that needs to be made?
pur1.32754077977498It also says something that I think is very interesting, that you have a proficiency in a number of languages, including Arabic; is that correct?
pur1.32754077977498Listen, are you saying those funds are n't as inter- esting to this committee?
pur1.32754077977498Mr. Chairman, would you yield to me?
pur1.32754077977498Now, Ambassador Jones, you have not read that report?
pur1.32754077977498Now, how many people is that?
pur1.32754077977498Now, is that military, police and border patrol?
pur1.32754077977498OK. Mr. Christoff, would you respond to what you are seeing here?
pur1.32754077977498One more?
pur1.32754077977498Or am I going off track here at the end here?
pur1.32754077977498So are you saying that this insurgency does or does n't have something to do with Saddam Hussein?
pur1.32754077977498So if he's trained but minus equipment, you're not going to call him trained and equipped?
pur1.32754077977498So is your answer yes or no that they underesti- mated the level in abilities of the insurgents in Iraq?
pur1.32754077977498So what you are doing now to help divide this up for us is that you are telling us police and highway patrol, 55,000, the- what is the other?
pur1.32754077977498So you are saying that this is Saddam Hussein's doing, this insurgency?
pur1.32754077977498That is within the police?
pur1.32754077977498The question is, are we cre- ating, month by month, effective combat battalions and forces for the various missions that have to be performed?
pur1.32754077977498The same readiness standards?
pur1.32754077977498They performed well alongside coalition See http wpistci1r.4.cenicom.nul facis troops.hu!??
pur1.32754077977498They performed well alongside coalition See http wpistci1r.4.cenicom.nul facis troops.hu!??
pur1.32754077977498This plan was in motion and do you know for a fact?
pur1.32754077977498Well, it is also possible that the war created a level of insurgency, is it not, Mr. Todd?
pur1.32754077977498Well, let me ask you, have you ever met Waleed al- Humaidhi, the general manager of Altanmia?
pur1.32754077977498Were you aware of this, or have you become aware of this?
pur1.32754077977498What are the different types of Iraqi security forces?
pur1.32754077977498What are we doing to ultimately be able to transfer the power and the responsibility?
pur1.32754077977498What challenges confront the Multi- National Forces- Iraq transferring its security mission to Iraqi forces?
pur1.32754077977498What is the current strategy for developing Iraqi security forces and transferring Coalition security force missions to Iraqi government control?
pur1.32754077977498What types of training do Iraqi security forces receive, and what is the length of their training?
pur1.32754077977498What was that, the chief of reconstruction?
pur1.32754077977498What would Secretary Rumsfeld's position be then?
pur1.32754077977498When that number drops down, that dotted line number drops down, it's a figure, I guess — is that 150,000?
pur1.32754077977498Where would that be in your graph?
pur1.32754077977498Which gets us on the sense of readiness?
pur1.32754077977498Who was that?
pur1.32754077977498Why did I write it?
pur1.32754077977498Why did you write it?
pur1.32754077977498Why does n't the U.S. military do a good job of training foreign armies?
pur1.32754077977498Why is the hard core of the old regime growing then?
pur1.32754077977498Why?
pur1.32754077977498Will the gentleman just yield a second?
pur1.32754077977498You never heard any discussion about them losing control of the money?

umn.31951d02855379lCould you write four things down for me?

umn.31951d02855379lNow, is it a lagging indicator?
umn.31951d02855379lNow, when I went to the joint staff in 2002 and talked to the J – 5 before the operation in Iraq, I said, what about PDD 56?
umn.31951d02855379lOn the flip side of it, it was actu- ally aggressive behavior by our executive branch, and the motiva- tion of that aggression, what was it?
umn.31951d02855379lOr is that something that is not an alternative?
umn.31951d02855379lReal quickly, General, what would you say to the American peo- ple?

umn.31951d02855379lSo the question that we ask as we seek alternative strategies is how do we factor the monumental incompetence of the current Ad- ministration?
umn.31951d02855379lTell me how you analyze it as a scholar and how that will go?
umn.31951d02855379lThe question is, what is resolved?
umn.31951d02855379lThe question of the sacrifice of our young men and women is harder to sustain, but the question we have to ask is: As opposed to what?
umn.31951d02855379lWe have a broken process, but what would you articulate specifically to the American people?
umn.31951d02855379lWell, guess what?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat about Syria?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat do we do about a government that does n’t to each other?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat do we do about a government that does n’t want to redo the constitution?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat do we need to see from these people?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat does that mean?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat is his number for “ hate us ”?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat is his percentage for “ hate al Qaeda ”?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat is the “ something else ”?
umn.31951d02855379lWhat would they have if they were stationed in the Kurdish region or in Ku- wait many miles away?
umn.31951d02855379lWhen our ambas- sador and the Iranian ambassador held talks in Baghdad on May 28, what did the Iranian regime do at that very same time?
umn.31951d02855379lWhen you look at things from the standpoint of Iran and Syria, why would they want to cut a deal with us right now?
umn.31951d02855379lWho knows?
umn.31951d02855379lWhy not?
umn.31951d02855379lWhy take that on ourselves?
umn.31951d02855379lWhy?
umn.31951d02855379lWould the Sunni minority in Iraq favor troops coming in from Shi'ite countries like Iran?
umn.31951d02855379lYou know what the best argument about not at- tacking Iran is?
umn.31951d02855379lYou want to do something for us?
umn.31951d02855379lYou want to help us?
umn.31951d02855379lYour question is about the war tax and conscription?
pst.000055838788Active?
pst.000055838788After June 30, who's going to be in charge in deciding how the money is spent?
pst.000055838788All of whom will get in their car and drive the Ambassador and ask, what can I do?
pst.000055838788Ambassador going to be here in the reconstruction effort?
pst.000055838788Ambassador in terms of those efforts?
pst.000055838788Ambassador?
pst.000055838788And Chris said, who is going to kill you?
pst.000055838788And I ca n't speak for anybody else, but if there's a rational way to do this, we want to do it, or what's the explanation?
pst.000055838788And any efforts to impose any kind of govern- ment aside from that would not be made by this country?
pst.000055838788And as a part of that, for how long will security be primarily the responsibility of U.S. forces?
pst.000055838788And guess what happened?
pst.000055838788And guess what?
pst.000055838788And he went over there for weeks inter- viewing people, and asking, what do n't you understand?
pst.000055838788And what did Secretary Christopher do?
pst.000055838788And what did the Secretary say next?
pst.000055838788And why do I say that?
pst.000055838788Are they coordinating with our uniform military?
pst.000055838788Are they under an effec- tive command and control?
pst.000055838788Are we confident at this point that we're going to be able to get supplies to the Iraqi police?
pst.000055838788Are you working to fix that?
pst.000055838788But if they choose another way?
pst.000055838788But there will be no unique lines that are devel- oped here in terms of the purse strings and dollars beyond what you've just described?
pst.000055838788Can I come back to you on the record or here in a minute?
pst.000055838788Can any of you offer any further assurances on the security ques- tion, which underlays the potential for political success?
pst.000055838788Can we ensure the provision of arms and various things they need to be effective?
pst.000055838788Can you make a comment about the budget of the Iraqi Interim Gov- ernment?
pst.000055838788Can you make a comment about the budget of the new Iraqi Government?
pst.000055838788Can you speculate on what's going on?
pst.000055838788Could you fill in the blanks a little bit on the budget of the Iraqi Govern- ment itself, its sources of revenue, and how that will be estab- lished?
pst.000055838788Could you fill in the blanks about the budget of the Iraqi Government itself, its sources of revenue, and how that will be established?
pst.000055838788Did you see that report?
pst.000055838788Do we have the right programs and ex- perts and enough resources?
pst.000055838788Do you believe in the bill of rights?
pst.000055838788Do you believe in this time line?
pst.000055838788Do you know about GE and Siemens?
pst.000055838788Do you know what I'm talking about though?
pst.000055838788Do you want me to answer?
pst.000055838788Do you want me to repeat the question?
pst.000055838788Does it in- clude civil protection?
pst.000055838788Does it include policing?
pst.000055838788Does it include re- construction?
pst.000055838788Does that include more than force protection?
pst.000055838788Does the gov- 54 Now, how does that translate to the Iraqi people as they wake up in the morning thinking there's any transition?
pst.000055838788First, what happens, what about this interim government in relationship to the Transitional Administrative Law?
pst.000055838788For example, was n't the King of Jordan supposed to be here this week?
pst.000055838788Have n't we in a sense made it, our job, that much more difficult if we hold on?
pst.000055838788Have we asked the Germans, the French and others to train and equip the police forces?
pst.000055838788How about a goal?
pst.000055838788How about the rest of the Coalition?
pst.000055838788How are we going to pay for it?
pst.000055838788How big will this embassy be?
pst.000055838788How can we accelerate police training and the delivery of equipment to the Iraqi police forces?
pst.000055838788How do we come to a point in which the Iraq people believe that in fact somebody is in control?
pst.000055838788How do we plan to reestablish the security?
pst.000055838788How does that reflect this notion that there is going to be some meaningful change in their circumstances, the average Iraqi?
pst.000055838788How does that take the American face off of this?
pst.000055838788How much of our assistance has gone to support police training and equipment?
pst.000055838788How will that authority pro- vide security for the elections and assemble a registration list or otherwise determine who is eligible to vote?
pst.000055838788How will the United States pursue such resolutions and what will they contain?
pst.000055838788How will this and troop actions be coordi- nated with the Embassy?
pst.000055838788How will we deal with elections that are postponed or deemed to be fraudulent?
pst.000055838788I'm sorry, may I answer the Senator's question on the annex?
pst.000055838788If not, what is the plan for providing necessary funding?
pst.000055838788If so, why?
pst.000055838788If the administration has simply decided to ask for more money, when do you plan to make that request and how do you suggest the country pay for it?
pst.000055838788If we're going to be spending more, when will you ask for it and how much will it be?
pst.000055838788If we're planning to accomplish less, which priorities do n't make the cut?
pst.000055838788If we're planning to accomplish less, which priorities will not make the cut?
pst.000055838788If you leave, they're going to kill us, is n't that what democracy is?
pst.000055838788Is Secretary Baker still involved in that project?
pst.000055838788Is it going to be an Iraqi caretaker government?
pst.000055838788Is it going to be some senior inter- national figure?
pst.000055838788Is it going to be the American military?
pst.000055838788Is that what you're thinking?
pst.000055838788Is the United States prepared to accept whatever government the Iraqi people want?
pst.000055838788Is the document classified?
pst.000055838788Is there an annex document ready yet?
pst.000055838788Is there an annex?
pst.000055838788Is this satisfactory to the Iraqis?
pst.000055838788Let's get off this, OK?
pst.000055838788Literally that's what happened in, you know — who's going to say that?
pst.000055838788May I indulge the committee to ask if the other two witnesses wanted to answer that?
pst.000055838788Maybe the only ques- tion I have is, are you told not to make any connection between the two?
pst.000055838788More U.S. Armed Forces?
pst.000055838788Mr. Rodman, did you want to say something?
pst.000055838788Now, is it perfect every time?
pst.000055838788Of the more than$ 3 billion that USAID has spent on Iraq programs thus far, how much has IG audits called into question?
pst.000055838788One of your questions was, who runs the elec- tions?
pst.000055838788Remember that?
pst.000055838788Remember that?
pst.000055838788Right now in Afghanistan what did we do?
pst.000055838788Secretary Rod- man, do you have a comment to make on that?
pst.000055838788Should I repeat the question?
pst.000055838788So I'd like you to tell me how long it will take to properly train Iraqis such as they are able to provide for their country's security?
pst.000055838788So exactly how do I get to that figure?
pst.000055838788So it sounds like we're looking at a request for more money rather than scaling down the priorities, in all like- lihood?
pst.000055838788So there has been no static or no problems as a result of this?
pst.000055838788So you can tell this panel, has that had an impact at all on our relationship with the Arab world?
pst.000055838788Specifically, what executive and legislative positions will be established in the interim govern- ment, and how will these positions be filled?
pst.000055838788That's their decision?
pst.000055838788That's what we're going to do?
pst.000055838788The American Ambassador?
pst.000055838788This is kind of like going from Clark Kent to Superman, you know?
pst.000055838788Us?
pst.000055838788We have Great Britain there with, what, 6,500 troops?
pst.000055838788We're going to invite them?
pst.000055838788We're the ones who have suggested it, when we sit down with the other major powers and say, how do we work this out?
pst.000055838788What can I tell them is a reasonable estimate of time?
pst.000055838788What has changed in this June 30 arrangement?
pst.000055838788What is our fallback strategy at that point?
pst.000055838788What is the standard of legitimacy for an emerging Iraqi leader- ship?
pst.000055838788What other sources of revenue will be available to them?
pst.000055838788What part of oil reserves or the$ 18 billion appropriated for recon- struction will be controlled by the interim government?
pst.000055838788What will Iraqis see on the 1st of July that's dif- ferent from today?
pst.000055838788What will become of the CPA IG given the fact that the funds he was supposed to oversee have barely begun to be obligated?
pst.000055838788What's the mission?
pst.000055838788What's the plan for training the Iraqi police?
pst.000055838788What's your goal?
pst.000055838788When we claim that our commanders on the ground say that they have enough forces to carry out their mission, what's their mission?
pst.000055838788Which is it going to be?
pst.000055838788Which is it?
pst.000055838788Who will created the secure en- vironment?
pst.000055838788Who's going to be the referee when there is significant internal dispute?
pst.000055838788Who's going to be the referee?
pst.000055838788Who's going to decide in the future when we set up this embassy how to handle Fallujahs and the al- Sadrs?
pst.000055838788Who's going to send them back to the tent?
pst.000055838788Why not take the opportunity of that 30th of June date?
pst.000055838788Will he be head of mission in Iraq with all that that means specifi- cally?
pst.000055838788Will the Army continue to oversee con- tracts given to USAID?
pst.000055838788Will the MNF- I Headquarters be co- located with the Embassy or at a separate facility?
pst.000055838788Will the Multi- National Force provide security for elections?
pst.000055838788Will they have the authority to be able to commit to those kinds of contracts?
pst.000055838788Would you be kind enough?
pst.000055838788Would you get to the annex question?
pst.000055838788You know how they controlled people's behavior?
pst.000055838788You know nothing more about it than that?
pst.000055838788You know why?
pst.000061495852And as you speak, reflect on the words of Kissinger and Nixon; why did they have it wrong, but you have got it right?
pst.000061495852And could it lead to a war throughout that entire region?
pst.000061495852And do we have a strategy for democratization that is going to work?
pst.000061495852And do you have any comments on my earlier comments regarding foreign assistance programs targeted at em- powering and enabling families?
pst.000061495852And if it is, what do we mean by winning?
pst.000061495852And if not, when are we going to implement the Syria Accountability Act?
pst.000061495852And if so, how do you account for the polling there?
pst.000061495852And if so, why should we give you the benefit of the doubt this time when it ap- pears so evident that so many mistakes have been made in the past?
pst.000061495852And maybe the 90 percent are thinking, Hey, why do n't we get close to the Americans?
pst.000061495852And number two, long term, what would that lead to?
pst.000061495852And on what do we base our optimism or the President's optimism?
pst.000061495852And why is there a hesitancy to take them up on that offer?
pst.000061495852And you mentioned “ given the stakes, ” are these the stakes?
pst.000061495852And, is the Administration ready to support legislation to eliminate the rest of these self- defeating sanctions?
pst.000061495852Are n't we really talking about the disintegration of Iraq as a na- tion?
pst.000061495852Are they acting in an evenhanded fashion?
pst.000061495852Are they bringing in the best forces they need to do?
pst.000061495852Are they living up to the rules of engagement that they have agreed to?
pst.000061495852Are we hiring people who are getting a fair wage for their work, under the circumstances that we would consider to be fair?
pst.000061495852Before I turn it over to my friend from Flor- ida, could I just ask you to comment on the lack of Saudi and Egyp- tian help?
pst.000061495852But I wondered if you could actually tell me what that means in terms of, especially, what would be the response if they did not?
pst.000061495852But are you going to spend that$ 12 million to find out if microherbicides are a pos- sible tool against the opium production in Afghanistan?
pst.000061495852But if the Iraqi people do n't step up after we have given them this chance, this is their last chance, is it not?
pst.000061495852Can I explore this for 10 seconds?
pst.000061495852Can I have a response?
pst.000061495852Can we get them to at least participate in trying to change some of the opinions that these people have of us?
pst.000061495852Can you assure me, this committee and the American people, that the United States will not initiate a pre- emptive attack on Iran?
pst.000061495852Could you spell out a little more clearly what exactly we think can happen by their more active participation that can make things in Iraq better?
pst.000061495852Do you believe that Bashar al- Asad, who hints at diplomatic offers toward Israel, are his offers real?
pst.000061495852Do you believe that freedom is under attack in Venezuela?
pst.000061495852Do you believe that there are human rights issues in Venezuela?
pst.000061495852Do you want to see this model replicated in other provinces in Pakistan Frontier areas?
pst.000061495852Does the administration plan to continue to work with Congress in removing FMF restrictions in the coming year?
pst.000061495852Does the resolution adopted by Congress in October 2002 still apply to what is happening in Iraq, what our military forces are doing there now?
pst.000061495852Given the request for additional U.S. funding for Iraq reconstruction, what au- thority will Ambassador Carney have in coordinating this money?
pst.000061495852Have we asked the Egyptians to provide a significant number of police and military for stabilizing Baghdad?
pst.000061495852How about financial help?
pst.000061495852How are we, the American people, to rely upon a dependent foreign policy versus a coalition foreign policy?
pst.000061495852How do we know?
pst.000061495852How do we know?
pst.000061495852How do you get past them, and get to the people, and say you know, we really want to live in peace with you?
pst.000061495852How does that compute with administration claims that Iran is playing the major role in the insurgency?
pst.000061495852How far along is this process already?
pst.000061495852How is the amount of language designated- positions determined, especially in critical foreign policy posts such as Baghdad?
pst.000061495852How many of these positions are filled by officers who fully meet the lan- guage requirement?
pst.000061495852How was it proceeding?
pst.000061495852How would you describe the current state of Iranian- Iraqi government- to- government relations?
pst.000061495852I guess my question is, What would it take for these people to see the light, the neighbors of Iraq?
pst.000061495852I mean, I guess my point is, are we really wanted there by the Iraqi people, Madam Secretary?
pst.000061495852I mean, what would it take from us?
pst.000061495852In your view, how much influence does Iran have in Iraq and how does it exercise it?
pst.000061495852Is 1 percent of the people they let into this country overstaying; 80 percent?
pst.000061495852Is Iraq likely to slip into Iran's sphere of influence?
pst.000061495852Is Iraq the be- all and end- all of the war on terrorism?
pst.000061495852Is Iraq winnable?
pst.000061495852Is any particular attention being given to leveraging remittances in order to expand their impact upon economic development in the region?
pst.000061495852Is it O months?
pst.000061495852Is it a month?
pst.000061495852Is it a year?
pst.000061495852Is it going to be an Iraq for all people or is it going to be sectarian and divisive?
pst.000061495852Is it open ended, or do we have dates to go?
pst.000061495852Is it our intention to destroy Sadr's militia, to either get them to disband or to force them to disband?
pst.000061495852Is n't it a little bit more than that, Madam Secretary?
pst.000061495852Is n't it much more than just some bad groups engaging in some violence under deep sectarian divisions here which we are attempting to paper over?
pst.000061495852Is now the time to end the diplomatic isolation of Syria, and engage?
pst.000061495852Is that a developing policy potentially with the Egyptians?
pst.000061495852Is that something- would you agree with that assessment?
pst.000061495852Is there anyone surging with us or are we surging alone?
pst.000061495852Is there consideration being given to creating a new or expanded option for those Christians who are fleeing?
pst.000061495852Is this a number that is going to take to be success- ful for victory, or is this a number because of what we had?
pst.000061495852Is this exactly what we need?
pst.000061495852Is this not- and we wish you success — but is this not the Iraqi people's last chance because of the public opinion here in the United States?
pst.000061495852Let me say that it is not that we fear or I fear talking to anyone, but you have to ask: On what basis do you carry out such a conversation?
pst.000061495852Mr. Chairman, might I inquire how much time I have?
pst.000061495852My question is: Where does democracy reform really fit into our foreign policy?
pst.000061495852Now why is it a fair, I believe, question to ask?
pst.000061495852One of the issues is, can debt relief help the Iraqis to have even more resources?
pst.000061495852Or is it an escalation?
pst.000061495852Question: What actions has State taken to address these Arabic language shortfalls?
pst.000061495852So I just have to repeat, Congressman, I do n't think the question is why wo n't we talk to Tehran, the question is why wo n't they talk to us?
pst.000061495852So if you are going to set up benchmarks at this point, is there a timetable?
pst.000061495852So is this a surge?
pst.000061495852So my first question is, Where is the “ coalition of the willing ”?
pst.000061495852So this is an American plan, not an Iraqi plan?
pst.000061495852So you did not see that supposed fax?
pst.000061495852The American people are asking, What do the neighbors who have so much to Iose, like Egypt and Saudi Arabia, what are they doing to help?
pst.000061495852The affirmative suggestion that I would make is: Why ca n't the State Department look to pick up all those people that were fired from the military?
pst.000061495852The question is: Does the President's plan simply perpetuate the problem?
pst.000061495852Then the benchmark means nothing?
pst.000061495852To whom will Am- bassador Carney report?
pst.000061495852What are our plans to promote democratic reform and support a civil so- ciety in Venezuela?
pst.000061495852What are the issues that the President plans to raise with his counterparts in each country?
pst.000061495852What are the ramifications for failing to meet that benchmark in very specific ways?
pst.000061495852What are those bench- marks?
pst.000061495852What did they do with the Ayatollah?
pst.000061495852What do you think of that analysis?
pst.000061495852What funding in the FY2008 State Department budget is dedicated to this goal and how much has that amount increased throughout the War on Terror?

pst.000061495852Why 21,500?
pst.000061495852Why are we not really pushing our friends in Egypt and Saudi Arabia and Pakistan?
pst.000061495852Why did n't we ask for 40,000 more American troops before that happened to stop it?
pst.000061495852Why have n't they, Madam Secretary?
pst.000061495852Why should the American taxpayer continue to bear the burden?
pst.000061495852Would it lead to another con- flict of maybe more devastating magnitude than what we have seen so far?
pst.000061495852Would it take a plan for us, instead of a surge, to say that we are going to withdraw 20,000 troops every 6 months until they participate?
pst.000061495852You do n't have such a prohi- bition in your agency, do you?
pst.000024728164157 Mr. Chairman, what if you and I address a letter to the adminis- tration on that specific point?
pst.00002472816428 What kind of progress are they making, though, about commit- ting their own people and training their own people for that en- deavor?
pst.00002472816485 Senator, do you have an opening statement or questions you would like to ask?
pst.000024728164Am I right in thinking that Russia is now, or at least has voiced a view that sanctions should not be renewed, 36 as well?
pst.000024728164Ambassador Pelletreau, do you have any comments on that?
pst.000024728164And how do you think our country should address a military imbalance that might develop between Iraq and Iran?
pst.000024728164And if it does not apply, why does it not apply to our situation with regard to Iran and the transfer of technology dealing with the reactors?
pst.000024728164And specifically, what would the United States do if Iraqi forces launched a signifi- ca nt military operation north of the 36th parallel?
pst.000024728164And that they are expected to sell Iran sev- eral hundred Nodong I missile, with a range of 600 miles, is that true?
pst.000024728164And what can be done to keep firm pressure on Saddam if the oil export restrictions are lifted, as discussed at times by France and Russia?
pst.000024728164Any other thoughts on this point?
pst.000024728164Are the Kuwaiti troops primarily Kuwaiti citi- zens?
pst.000024728164Are there enough buyers?
pst.000024728164Are there signs that the government is concerned about the effect of these economic problems on its stability?
pst.000024728164Are you saying then that our allies in Europe are not concerned by Iran's striving to achieve a major nuclear ca- pacity?
pst.000024728164As a committed Christian I have asked myself,"What must God think about all this?"
pst.000024728164But is his political base of support shrinking?
pst.000024728164But this could imperil our ability to operate a carrier task force within the Gulf?
pst.000024728164Can I just say one thing, though?
pst.000024728164Can you envision the United States ever accept- ing Saddam Hussein's rehabilitation?
pst.000024728164Could you pull the microphone a little closer to you?
pst.000024728164Could you repeat that once again?
pst.000024728164Do Iran and Iraq have — well, other than the scuds — do they have any other missiles capable of a range of 600- plus miles?
pst.000024728164Do they indicate a new level of brutality by Saddam Hussein's regime?
pst.000024728164Do we have an account of how many peo- ple were killed by this genocide?
pst.000024728164Do we have an opposition in mind?
pst.000024728164Do you have any specific recommendations?
pst.000024728164Do you see an effort to drive them into the Kurdish area?
pst.000024728164Do you see real movement at this point?
pst.000024728164Does not he who guards your life know it?
pst.000024728164Does that corroborate with your information?
pst.000024728164Does that mean we have to like the current Iraqi leaders?
pst.000024728164Does that respond, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000024728164Dr. Cordesman, do you have some thoughts in this area?
pst.000024728164Dual containment has a second weakness; how do we retain a role in the Persian Gulf in opposition to the region's powers?
pst.000024728164Have the ideas of U.N. human rights monitors and war crimes tribunals been completely scrapped?
pst.000024728164Have there been incidents of attempted coups that you would attribute to dissatisfaction with sanctions within the military?
pst.000024728164How bad are the leaks?
pst.000024728164How do they separate, in numbers, into the factions?
pst.000024728164How do you evaluate their re- sponse?
pst.000024728164How do you feel they could be more effec- tive?
pst.000024728164How effective are these policies at producing changes in Iran's behavior?
pst.000024728164How effective have the sanctions been in achieving these goals?
pst.000024728164How long will the Kurds be pro- Western, pro- American, and pro- democratic if they have no sense that someone cares about justice in their case?
pst.000024728164How much of a problem do they create for domestic tranquility?
pst.000024728164How serious a problem do Iran's economic difficulties pose for Tehran in accomplishing its re- gional ambitions?
pst.000024728164How serious is the split between Rafsanjani and the religious leadership?
pst.000024728164How true is that?
pst.000024728164How would you assess the effectiveness of this policy, and what criteria would you see as being useful in evaluating it?
pst.000024728164I think the question exactly is really: What are we trying to do?
pst.000024728164If Turkey does not ap- prove the continuation of Operation Provide Comfort in December of this year, what will happen to the Kurds?
pst.000024728164If so, which aspects?
pst.000024728164If these are the aims, how effective have sanctions been?
pst.000024728164If you say,'But we knew nothing about this,'does not he who weighs the heart perceive it?
pst.000024728164Instead, the main issue is, how does Iraq get the one billion dollars in the first place?
pst.000024728164Is desertion becoming an in- creasing problem for the Iraqi military?
pst.000024728164Is it true that Iraq is once again manufactur- ing poison gas?
pst.000024728164Is it widespread?
pst.000024728164Is it your sense that Saddam Hussein is stronger or weaker than he was a year ago?
pst.000024728164Is so, does that suggest that Saddam is feeling more desperate and more threatened by potential opponents?
pst.000024728164Is that U.S. policy?
pst.000024728164Is that accu- rate?
pst.000024728164Is that genuine?
pst.000024728164Is that true?
pst.000024728164Is the United States and its allies prepared to continue protect- ing the Kurds in northern Iraq indefinitely?
pst.000024728164Is the United States, without acceptable progress, ready to veto an effort to lift sanctions?
pst.000024728164Is the infrastructure in such a state so that they could resume exports?
pst.000024728164Is there a change of attitude?
pst.000024728164Is there a pragmatic( versus an extremist) faction in the Iranian gov- ernment?
pst.000024728164Is there any indication of who planted the car bomb that killed dozens of people last week?
pst.000024728164Is there likely to be any change in Iran's orientation toward the West in the foresee- able future?
pst.000024728164It is not what?
pst.000024728164Just briefly, what are those measures?
pst.000024728164Let me ask the panel, what else would you have the United States do, if the Kurdish people can not send a message to their own leaders to stop it?
pst.000024728164Mr. Layton?
pst.000024728164Mr. Placke, is that the correct way of pro- nouncing your name?
pst.000024728164Now, Iraq has some, Iran has a different set of sanctions, but how do you view them?
pst.000024728164Now, is there a further delay for special inspec- tions?
pst.000024728164Now, with respect to that autonomy, what is the likelihood that either the KDP or the PUK could negotiate a deal of autonomy with Baghdad?
pst.000024728164One question is: What is the end game to all of this?
pst.000024728164Or else what?
pst.000024728164Second, what about the impact of sanctions on containing Saddam's capacity to threaten his neighbors?
pst.000024728164Senator Brown, may I just intervene here?
pst.000024728164Senator Feinstein, do you want to go ahead?
pst.000024728164Senator, do you want to start us off, perhaps with that one?
pst.000024728164Should it be?
pst.000024728164Should the U.S. announce that it would be prepared to review various aspects of its policy toward Iraq in a post- Sad- dam era?
pst.000024728164Should the Unit- ed States be doing more to differentiate our policy toward a potential successor re- gime from our policy toward Saddam Hussein?
pst.000024728164So let me ask you this: What are the implica- tions for the future of our efforts to really sustain a Kurdish minor- ity?
pst.000024728164THE IMPACT OF TRADE SANCTIONS In light of this analysis, how effective might the proposed ban on all U.S. trade with Iran be?
pst.000024728164The first is, how bad are the leaks from the sanctions?
pst.000024728164The historical inspection, which is to say"What did they do in the past?"
pst.000024728164The other question I guess we have to ask is: Is Iraq going to be a revanchist state?
pst.000024728164The question is, what will we do about the Kurds?
pst.000024728164There are three broad questions I would like to address here: What are the goals of the sanctions?
pst.000024728164This paper considers three issues about the sanctions: Can they be expected to lead to Saddam's overthrow?
pst.000024728164Three million?
pst.000024728164Through repression and terror, and in some cases he achieves victory as well?
pst.000024728164To drive them out of Iraq into the Kurdish area?
pst.000024728164To what extent has concern for the suffering of the Iraqi people helped to build support for lifting sanctions?
pst.000024728164To what extent is this humanitarian disaster still going on?
pst.000024728164Until we see a change of regime in Baghdad, what is the nature of the U.S. security commitment to northern Iraq?
pst.000024728164Was this genocide?
pst.000024728164We may be pursuing dual containment, but who else will?
pst.000024728164What Iraqi opposition groups, if any, deserve U.S. support and encourage- ment?
pst.000024728164What about the Kurds who were not immediately killed?
pst.000024728164What about the infrastructure?
pst.000024728164What additional measures could the U.S. or others take to improve the human rights situation throughout Iraq?
pst.000024728164What are the implications of this split for the future direction of Iran?
pst.000024728164What are the main routes through which this oil is shipped: Turkey, Iran, Jordan, small ships in the Persian Gulf?
pst.000024728164What are your thoughts?
pst.000024728164What demands should the U.S. make of a successor regime?
pst.000024728164What do you believe is Iran's intent in building up their military strength in the Gulf islands?
pst.000024728164What do you think American policy should do to deter mili- tarization, and really some abysmal treatment of people?
pst.000024728164What does this protracted, tortured and costly process imply?
pst.000024728164What happened to the children?
pst.000024728164What happened to the children?
pst.000024728164What happened to them?
pst.000024728164What happened to them?
pst.000024728164What if the sanctions succeeded in bringing down Saddam's regime?
pst.000024728164What is the current extent of 166 Baghdad's authority in southern Iraq?
pst.000024728164What is the impact on the price of oil the sanc- tions are having?
pst.000024728164What is the long- term survivability of the Rafsanjani regime?
pst.000024728164What is your assessment of these reports?
pst.000024728164What is your assessment of these reports?
pst.000024728164What is your feeling on that?
pst.000024728164What kind of a policy is that?
pst.000024728164What more can be done to plug up these leaks in the sanctions regime?
pst.000024728164What other actions need to be taken by the Iraqi Gov- ernment for the sanctions to be lifted?
pst.000024728164What positive incentives are we providing Iran to change its behavior?
pst.000024728164What signs, if any, are there that sanctions have resulted in a higher level of popular dis- enchantment with the regime?
pst.000024728164What sort of regime would we be prepared to deal with as a successor?
pst.000024728164What would be the effects of lifting or easing sanctions, or, alternatively maintaining them indefi- nitely?
pst.000024728164What would be, in your opinion, the im- pact of any significant reduction or removal of our forces?
pst.000024728164What would the"or else"be?
pst.000024728164What, if anything, should the United States do to encourage this prag- matic element?
pst.000024728164When we talked to Ambassador Pelletreau, I asked the question how many Kurds were there, and I thought you said 1.5 million, is that right?
pst.000024728164Where are we going to be in 3 or 5 years?
pst.000024728164Where does the world think that four million Kurds will go if given back into the hands of Saddam?
pst.000024728164Why was the no- fly zone, which the U.S. and our allies enforce over southern Iraq, unable to prevent the campaign against the Marsh Arabs?
pst.000024728164Why would an individual want a half a dozen palaces?
pst.000024728164Will he not repay each person according to what he has done?"
pst.000024728164Will the elections take place in May, as scheduled?
pst.000024728164Would that be a sustainable position to adapt in the U.N. Security Council?
pst.000024728164Would these policies be more effective if the sanctions were tighter?
pst.000024728164Would tion still give us an ability to keep our leverage on sanctions in Iraq?
pst.000024728164Would you en- large on that a little bit?
pst.000024728164enues?
pst.000024728164out the Kurds who were not immediately killed?
umn.31951d03156537t27 Does GAO have a general sense on where we are going with the country?
umn.31951d03156537t7 So one area that we think should be addressed is, what will be done to try to move that percentage to a higher percentage to build that capacity?
umn.31951d03156537tAnd also their ability to go back to their communities that they lived in for so many years?
umn.31951d03156537tAnd can you tell us where you might agree or disagree?
umn.31951d03156537tAnd do you believe that those metrics of achievement are ade- quate?
umn.31951d03156537tAnd second, what were the elements of a new strategy or what should the elements of a new strategy be?
umn.31951d03156537tAnd then how should Congress be evaluating the progress there in Iraq'?
umn.31951d03156537tAnd where are we in that process, from your viewpoint?
umn.31951d03156537tAre there other metrics we should be using?
umn.31951d03156537tAre we seeing improvement in that area, or are we still having the challenges there?
umn.31951d03156537tBecause I think this is a relatively new development, is it not?
umn.31951d03156537tBut what things do you think that our military trainers are n't doing right now that they could be doing to achieve that?
umn.31951d03156537tCan you flesh that out a little bit more?
umn.31951d03156537tCan you let us know what you think the metrics that we are using, if they are adequate?
umn.31951d03156537tDo we have any idea where that is going?
umn.31951d03156537tDo we know where that is going?
umn.31951d03156537tDo you folks have military expertise in GAO'?
umn.31951d03156537tDo you have, for example, a counterpart to General Petraeus or some folks in his chain of command who are working the training piece?
umn.31951d03156537tDo you see potential conflict among those tribal leaders?
umn.31951d03156537tDo you want to take that?
umn.31951d03156537tGene and Joe, who asked you to do this report?
umn.31951d03156537tGiven just a kind of human tendency for the loyalty to follow the money, is anyone actually tracking then where is the loyalty?
umn.31951d03156537tHas any plan been articu- lated to get our forces out of those palaces?
umn.31951d03156537tHas that discussion even come up?
umn.31951d03156537tHas there been a proposed timeline to do that?
umn.31951d03156537tHow about giving me a time specific that I can count on?
umn.31951d03156537tHow are we to evaluate that?
umn.31951d03156537tHow do you assess the change in Administration that will happen in January and the impact?
umn.31951d03156537tHow do you do that?
umn.31951d03156537tHow do you set your framework up to say, in judgment of the folks who were paid to do that, “ No, you are not doing it"?
umn.31951d03156537tHow much is leaving the country?
umn.31951d03156537tHow stale is the data you based it on?
umn.31951d03156537tI am a Certified Public Accountant( CPA) and constantly get the question, who audits the auditor?
umn.31951d03156537tI am curious, does that money flow directly from the government, or does it normally flow through a tribal sheik?
umn.31951d03156537tI have got to admit being taken back and ask- ing General Petraeus outright, are we bribing these guys not to shoot at us?
umn.31951d03156537tI mean, a report issued in 2004 on the cir- cumstances then is relevant today?
umn.31951d03156537tI mean, how do you put together a comprehensive plan today, knowing that in January there is going to be a whole new team?
umn.31951d03156537tI was wondering, did you agree with his as- sessment?
umn.31951d03156537tI wonder if the Iraqis have a GAO equivalent looking at our abil- ity to pass an energy package?
umn.31951d03156537tIn answer to your question what extent has GAO tracked Iraqi oil revenue and how much of it is flowing back to the central government?
umn.31951d03156537tIn other words, when did you finish the field work, and then when did you start writing the report?
umn.31951d03156537tIn your view, what would it take to make this a reality?
umn.31951d03156537tIs 90 percent of the funds that should be making it back?
umn.31951d03156537tIs it to that sheik?
umn.31951d03156537tIs it to the Iraqi Government?
umn.31951d03156537tIs that correct?
umn.31951d03156537tIs that even being dis- cussed?
umn.31951d03156537tIs there a timeline to do that?
umn.31951d03156537tIt is in this report?
umn.31951d03156537tLocal employment?
umn.31951d03156537tNow or for a new administration?
umn.31951d03156537tSir, how about doing better than that?
umn.31951d03156537tSo it is not inclusive?
umn.31951d03156537tSo that the scope restrictions were self- imposed?
umn.31951d03156537tSo to what extent are we trying to buy fuel in Iraq at the same price the Iraqi Government charges their own citizens?
umn.31951d03156537tSo, at this point, you are unwilling to talk a little bit more about that in open session?
umn.31951d03156537tThe black market and other countries — any idea what countries they are talk- ing about?
umn.31951d03156537tThe second question is, what elements should be involved in the new strategy?
umn.31951d03156537tTo what extent are we insisting on that?
umn.31951d03156537tWe have had gains then?
umn.31951d03156537tWell, I am curious, though, is 80 percent of the money making it back to the central government?
umn.31951d03156537tWhat greater insight could the commanders and civilians on the ground expect to gain from a new strategy that they are not getting currently?
umn.31951d03156537tWhat is a reasonable amount of time to ex- pect for an answer on those questions I just asked you?
umn.31951d03156537tWho is going to pay for them up to that point in time?
umn.31951d03156537tWhy is it necessary?
umn.31951d03156537tWould you answer both those questions for us?
umn.31951d03156537tWould you flesh that out a little bit more about why you think there is a delay in spend- ing some of those dollars, and where this is going?
umn.31951d03156537tYou would n’t expect some sort of dramatic change apart from that, would you?
pst.000049670080101 Is there any objection?
pst.000049670080After September 11th, who did we pursue?
pst.000049670080Again, it is excessively deferential to the U.N. With that, Mr. Lantos yields back the balance of his time?
pst.000049670080And how does this make American people safer?
pst.000049670080And if we fight, how should we do it?
pst.000049670080And once we win a unilat- eral war, will we be responsible for unilaterally rebuilding Iraq?
pst.000049670080And so why, all of a sudden in September, did Iraq become, and Saddam Hussein become, the central concentration of this Adminis- tration?
pst.000049670080And that is, is the threat to the United States from Iraq imminent enough to warrant an invasion of Iraq?
pst.000049670080And what is that priority?
pst.000049670080And, does Sad- dam Hussein have the ability to carry out that objective?
pst.000049670080Anyone over here?
pst.000049670080Are decisions regarding our fate to be made in common with others?
pst.000049670080Are our airports safer today?
pst.000049670080Are our seaports secure?
pst.000049670080Are there any amendments?
pst.000049670080Are there any boundaries?
pst.000049670080Are there any parameters that trigger this particular doctrine?
pst.000049670080Are there further amendments?
pst.000049670080Are there further amendments?
pst.000049670080Are there further amendments?
pst.000049670080Are there other amendments?
pst.000049670080Are we ready to control it?
pst.000049670080By the way, if the facts were clear that Saddam had a nuclear weapon and somebody was proposing this, would the same argu- ments be made?
pst.000049670080Can I ask unanimous consent that the amendments be taken up en bloc as well?
pst.000049670080Did he have them 2 years ago when President Bush took of- fice?
pst.000049670080Did he have them before that?
pst.000049670080Did he want it 2 years ago?
pst.000049670080Do we have all three of his amendments?
pst.000049670080Do we now have a reasonable basis to conclude that Saddam is not an immi- nent threat against the United States?
pst.000049670080Do you know what?
pst.000049670080Does Saddam Hussein have biological and chemical weapons?
pst.000049670080Does he have it at this point?
pst.000049670080Does he seek nuclear weapons?
pst.000049670080Does that mean no one else will be allowed to speak on this?
pst.000049670080Does that render null and void the authorization to use force?
pst.000049670080Does that tie the President's hands?
pst.000049670080Especially important, what is it that justifies the pre- emptive use of military force?
pst.000049670080Five or ten?
pst.000049670080Five, six?
pst.000049670080For those who are going on the flight to attend Patsy Mink's funeral, can we state for the record how we would vote on the resolution?
pst.000049670080Guess what has happened over the last 10 years?
pst.000049670080Have all voted who wish?
pst.000049670080Have all voted who wish?
pst.000049670080Have all voted who wish?
pst.000049670080Have we prepared for what could be a rather extraordinary Israeli response?
pst.000049670080How am I recorded, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000049670080How am I recorded?
pst.000049670080How could we strike first and then claim the moral authority to tell China not to do so with Taiwan?
pst.000049670080How long will our commitment be?
pst.000049670080How long will this last, in either event, and how much will it cost?
pst.000049670080How much money will our commitment be to Iraq?
pst.000049670080How much time do we have, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000049670080How much time would my friend like?
pst.000049670080How much time: do you give him?
pst.000049670080However, before that, what became of the slip I have here?
pst.000049670080I do n't know what we can do about the amendments, but final passage, you may — why do n't you now tell the clerk how you would vote?
pst.000049670080I think she posed the question, Do we have different standards for different countries?
pst.000049670080If a government does form locally, will our forces be needed as peacekeepers?
pst.000049670080If now is not the time, then when?
pst.000049670080If the gentleman will yield so the spon- sor of the amendment can respond to that?
pst.000049670080If we ca n't live up to our own principles, how can we expect other countries to obey the rule of law?
pst.000049670080If we strike Iraq on our own, if we unilaterally go into Iraq, what happens with the campaign against terrorism?
pst.000049670080Is it ever time to fight?
pst.000049670080Is it ours or do we share it with others?
pst.000049670080Is it really necessary to remind our- selves that the world watched as Hitler boldly proclaimed his objectives and openly armed his forces?
pst.000049670080Is that a new regime?
pst.000049670080Is that regime change?
pst.000049670080Is there a clear justification for attempting to override the conclusion of the Commander in Chief?
pst.000049670080Is there any legitimate doubt that he would be willing to use them again?
pst.000049670080Is there anyone who wishes to be heard?
pst.000049670080Is there further discussion?
pst.000049670080Is this the precedent that we want to set?
pst.000049670080May I have permission to speak out of order for 10 seconds?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman, has my time expired?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman, how am I recorded?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman, how much time remains on my side?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman, may I be permitted just to say a word before you recognize my friend from Nebraska?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman, may I have a vote?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman, who has the right to close on this?
pst.000049670080Mr. Chairman?
pst.000049670080Mr. Davis?
pst.000049670080Mr. Gilman?
pst.000049670080Ms. Lee?
pst.000049670080Of course we are against that and condemn it, but do we really want to use military force on that basis?
pst.000049670080Oh, Mr. Sherman, do you think you have been shortchanged on time?
pst.000049670080Saddam's actions have demonstrated a determination to carry on with his program of weapons of mass destruction — and to what end?
pst.000049670080Should any of us have any doubt that he has and is attempting to procure pluto- nium to substantially shorten the time for developing nuclear weapons?
pst.000049670080Should we actually pass this initiative?
pst.000049670080So now the question comes, how do each of you choose to exercise that function?
pst.000049670080So would the gentleman consider withdrawing?
pst.000049670080The debate has returned us to the fundamental questions all leaders need to face: when is it time to fight?
pst.000049670080The gentleman from Texas, Mr. Paul, do you have an amend- ment?
pst.000049670080The other is the issue Mr. Hoeffel brought up, and that is what are we going to do after we win?
pst.000049670080The question is, what resolution will best achieve that goal?
pst.000049670080The question is, what should we do in the face of a gathering storm, a gathering threat?
pst.000049670080The second point is, will inspections be adequate?
pst.000049670080Was he trying to accomplish it?
pst.000049670080What about India and Pakistan?
pst.000049670080What about Russia and Georgia?
pst.000049670080What do we do about them?
pst.000049670080What evidence do we need to trigger preemption?
pst.000049670080What is our objective here, regime change or the elimination of weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000049670080What is the case against Saddam Hussein?
pst.000049670080What is the compelling reason, why now, this time, this moment, the United States — maybe, very well unilaterally — should go to war in Iraq?
pst.000049670080What kind of international cooperation is that?
pst.000049670080What kind of leadership is that?
pst.000049670080What kind of rebuilding and redeveloping assistance will we offer?
pst.000049670080What quantum of evidence is necessary?
pst.000049670080What then must we do?
pst.000049670080What would this doctrine — where would this lead our country?
pst.000049670080When Saddam's launches an attack against the U.S. or one of our allies, or when he pro- vides terrorists with the capability to attack us?
pst.000049670080When we talk about preemption, what triggers preemption?
pst.000049670080When, prior to September 11th, was the threat from al- Qaeda imminent enough to warrant an invasion of Afghanistan?
pst.000049670080Where is the proof that Iraq poses an imminent threat to the United States?
pst.000049670080Who seeks recognition?
pst.000049670080Who will come after that?
pst.000049670080Why declare war if you do n't have to?
pst.000049670080Why do n't you proceed?
pst.000049670080Will my colleague yield on that point?
pst.000049670080Will our Armed Forces become an occupying army that must rule Iraq if no acceptable local government emerges?
pst.000049670080Will our action strengthen the influence of Iran in the region — even in Iraq?
pst.000049670080Will our actions strengthen the influence of Iran in the re- gion, even in Iraq?
pst.000049670080Will our coalition against terrorism fracture?
pst.000049670080Will our military action strengthen the demand for an independent Kurdish state in Iraq, including areas in neigh- boring countries like Turkey?
pst.000049670080Will our military actions strengthen the demand for an independent Kurdish state in Iraq, including areas in neighboring countries?
pst.000049670080Will the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Will we attack Iran next, then North Korea?
pst.000049670080Would Mr. Davis yield for a moment?
pst.000049670080Would my friend yield to me?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman desist for just a moment?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield to me?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Would the gentleman yield?
pst.000049670080Would you please come back as quickly as you can?
pst.000049670080You are not going to call any votes here?
pst.000049670080You want Sherman 3?
umn.31951d03556309e81 it this campaign and support U.S. defense contractors that have been targeted by it?
umn.31951d03556309eAdmiral Mullen, what efforts are you making to ensure our allies continue their commitment to the mission in Afghanistan?
umn.31951d03556309eAfghanistan with defeat?
umn.31951d03556309eAs we look to the future, what are some of the adjustments that are being made to increase the accountability of how these dollars are being spent?
umn.31951d03556309eBut would you agree with me, if something does n’t change in Pakistan substantially that we're on a collision course with Paki- stan?
umn.31951d03556309eCan I just make one quick comment?
umn.31951d03556309eCan you tell me how DOD plans to ensure that this$ 400 million does n't go down the drain?
umn.31951d03556309eDo you agree with CBO's assessment that the BCA's caps could be satisfied through different levels of defense and non- defense spending?
umn.31951d03556309eDo you agree with that simple statement?
umn.31951d03556309eDo you believe setting withdrawal dates of July 2012 and December 2014 demonstrate strategic patience and shows U.S. long- term commitment?
umn.31951d03556309eDo you have any comments to make on that?
umn.31951d03556309eDo you know why Congress would do such a dumb thing?
umn.31951d03556309eDo you, Mr. Secretary, support putting that kind of restriction on our assistance to Pakistan?
umn.31951d03556309eDoes the Obama administration support the proposed CCW protocol on cluster munitions?
umn.31951d03556309eHow are we screening applicants for our training programs?
umn.31951d03556309eHow capable are graduates of our training programs in Afghanistan?
umn.31951d03556309eHow do we get the right amount of money to the right projects on time?
umn.31951d03556309eHow much of that do you think is real and has the potential to have a real impact, and how much of it is show and not going to have any real impact?
umn.31951d03556309eHow receptive do you think India is to those kinds of overtures?
umn.31951d03556309eI assume you urged him to keep the comments private while the President is considering his decision?
umn.31951d03556309eI guess I would want to really carefully look at the les- sons and integrate that into the longer- term strategic view, how do we get ahead of this?
umn.31951d03556309eI want to provide it to you and would you write me a letter and see if you think we're on the right track?
umn.31951d03556309eIf we pull that trigger, would we be shooting ourselves in the foot?
umn.31951d03556309eIn light of your allegations, wºul, you agree that aid to Pakistan is naïve at best.# counter- productive at worst?
umn.31951d03556309eIn your best military judgment, is that acceptable?
umn.31951d03556309eIn your view, aside from budgetary issues, what do you see as the biggest chal- lenge facing our military in the future?
umn.31951d03556309eIs it correct to say that the capability of the Afghan Security Forces is the decisive point of our Afghan strategy?
umn.31951d03556309eIs that accurate and have those points been made?
umn.31951d03556309eIs that an acceptable reduction in spending?
umn.31951d03556309eIs that correct?
umn.31951d03556309eIs the$ 350 billion figure part of the$ 450 billion figure?
umn.31951d03556309eIt's our decision; is that correct?
umn.31951d03556309eMr. Secretary, what other steps are we going to take to ensure that tax dollars are not squandered by con- tractors?
umn.31951d03556309eRight now, would you both agree with me there is n't an alternative to Guantanamo that exists right now?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta and Admiral Mullen, can the Afghan Gov- ernment continue to fund and equip these robust security forces in the future?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta and Admiral Mullen, do you believe that a stable Afghanistan will help prevent future attacks on this country like that of 9/11?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta and Admiral Mullen, will they be ready by the 2014 timeline that President Karzai has requested?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, do the perceived benefits outweigh the risks?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, do you want to add anything to that in terms of a continuing training mission in Iraq'?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, how can the United States best nurture the Iraqi security forces should this mandate not be extended?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, how can we encourage the Iraqis to ex- tend the U.S. military mandate?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, how does achieving these benchmarks translate into meeting overall U.S. strategic objectives in Afghanistan?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, in your opinion, what effect would 3,000 troops have in Iraq, and what are the benefits and risks of this proposal?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, what are the trends and status of those benchmarks?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, what do we need to do to achieve success in each of the benchmarks?
umn.31951d03556309eSecretary Panetta, what is the baseline DOD is using for the reduction of$ 450 billion?
umn.31951d03556309eSenator, if I could?
umn.31951d03556309eShould we encourage them to do so?
umn.31951d03556309eSo really what I come back to is what have we learned from this?
umn.31951d03556309eSo you will not give your opinion as to whether we need to have a residual peacekeeping force in northern Iraq post-2011?
umn.31951d03556309eThese measures of effectiveness are intended to answer the following questions: • Are we doing the right things?
umn.31951d03556309eTriggers in the debt ceiling bill, are you familiar with them?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat are the benchmarks being used in Afghanistan?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat efforts have been undertaken to increase the long- term commitment among Afghans?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat is the model now for the future in terms of how we define the existential threats to the United States and how we apply mili- tary force to them?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat is the status of the reintegration program?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat is your assessment of the situation in Iraq as far as the Iraqi Government's desire to extend the U.S. mission there?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat is your rationale for supporting this plan?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat kind of force do we need to have that would make us effective at dealing with those threats?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat rationale drove the drawdown at the height of fighting season?
umn.31951d03556309eWhat's your feeling about the withdrawal dates as a con- cept?
umn.31951d03556309eWould not you agree?
umn.31951d03556309eWould you agree with that?
umn.31951d03556309eWould you like to comment before we wrap up?
umn.31951d03556309eYou know what?
umn.31951d03556309eour plannin and logistics capabilities can not adjust for a change in the current withdrawal plan?
umn.31951d03556309e• Are other actions required?
umn.31951d03556309e• Are our actions producing the desired effects?
pst.00006550666056 Can you tell me why you are not following the law, when you will begin to follow the law if you have any anticipation of doing it?
pst.000065506660Am I right in understanding, are you talking to Iran?
pst.000065506660Ambassador?
pst.000065506660And if so, how have they made their way to Baghdad?
pst.000065506660And what do we have to do?
pst.000065506660Any concessions whatso- ever from Iran?
pst.000065506660Are we engaged in a dialogue with Iran?
pst.000065506660Are we focusing our efforts on securing this district for the long term or must we rely on the whims of Muqtada al- Sadr to maintain the peace?
pst.000065506660Are we not now supporting the Iranians by propping up their al- lies in Iraq?
pst.000065506660But are we there yet?
pst.000065506660But how do we continue to pay for this war?
pst.000065506660But in that sense of the action, the leader of the nation taking charge, a big success, would n't you agree?
pst.000065506660By the month?
pst.000065506660By the quarter?
pst.000065506660Can you tell me how much of Iraq's oil revenues have been used for reconstruction?
pst.000065506660Can you tell me how much of Iraq's oil revenues have been used for reconstruction?
pst.000065506660Could I just give you that answer in private later?
pst.000065506660Could you please convey that to both Prime Minister Maliki and to the speaker of the Council of Representatives?
pst.000065506660Debt relief and economic assistance as well?
pst.000065506660Do you hear me now?
pst.000065506660Does Iran not have a greater justification to be involved in neighboring Iraq than we do since it is 6,000 miles from our shores?
pst.000065506660Does it find itself in other places, al- Qaeda?
pst.000065506660Does n't it seem awfully strange that the Iraqi Government we support is an ally of the Iranians, who are our declared enemies?
pst.000065506660Does our policy in Iraq not guarantee chaos in this region for years to come?
pst.000065506660For what had he lost his son?
pst.000065506660He asked a simple question: How do we get out of this mess?
pst.000065506660How are you, as commander, going to deal and look soldiers in the face to send them to their deaths, knowing that this matter is coming to an end?
pst.000065506660How can we blame all of the violence on the Iranians?
pst.000065506660How do you base the rate that troops can safely be redeployed?
pst.000065506660How do you fix it?
pst.000065506660How do you get out of this mess is the real question?
pst.000065506660How do you propose to have any kind of real political reconciliation in Iraq until these horrendous conditions are dealt with?
pst.000065506660How do you respond to Wolf Blitzer's comments?
pst.000065506660How long would it take for a complete troops redeployment?
pst.000065506660How many years and what cost, and in your opinion can we continue to sustain the financial cost in addi- tion to the tremendous human cost?
pst.000065506660How much of Iraq's oil revenues have been used for the Iraqi security forces?
pst.000065506660How much of Iraq's oil revenues have been used for the Iraqi security forces?
pst.000065506660I spoke to Mr. Wolfer yesterday, last night, who asked me to ask you simply, For what?
pst.000065506660I wonder, General and Ambassador, what would be the warning signs that we are going from supporter status to guarantor status?
pst.000065506660If China or Russia were occupying Mexico, how would we react?
pst.000065506660If Maliki is our ally, and he has diplomatic relations with Ahmadinejad, why ca n't we?
pst.000065506660If it is a problem of a significant nature, to what do you attribute this?
pst.000065506660If some of these turn up in the hands of insurgents, would it make sense to suggest that the US government is intentionally arming them?
pst.000065506660If this is the case, does n't it make sense that our depar- ture from Iraq may actually have a stabilizing effect?
pst.000065506660In your opinion, is ethno- religious cleansing taking place with respect to the Assyr- ian community?
pst.000065506660Is it available to the public?
pst.000065506660Is it fair to describe the Iraqi legislature as dys- functional?
pst.000065506660Is it not true that our ally, Maliki, broke the cease fire declared by al- Sadr by initiating the recent violence?
pst.000065506660Is it not true that the current cease fire was brokered by the Iranians, who also con- demned the attacks on the Green Zone?
pst.000065506660Is it not true that with the recent surge in violence in Iraq that the March attacks are now back at the same level as they were in 2005?
pst.000065506660Is my time up?
pst.000065506660Is that not true?
pst.000065506660Is that the case?
pst.000065506660Is there any chance of that happening?
pst.000065506660Is there any hard proof that the Iranian government is arming groups in Iraq?
pst.000065506660Is your microphone on?
pst.000065506660It is no wonder that, in the recent action in Basra, where there was a settlement for peace, who negotiated it?
pst.000065506660Loss of blood- bought freedoms for the Iraqi people?
pst.000065506660Loss of prestige?
pst.000065506660Loss of security?
pst.000065506660Now, if they achieve their four stages, would they be satisfied with what they have, or will they continue attacks on the United States?
pst.000065506660Saddam Hussein is gone, is he not?
pst.000065506660Since no one can define “ winning the war, ” just who do we expect to surrender?
pst.000065506660So how could America be more secure now, 5 years later, if Iran and al- Qaeda were not present 5 years ago?
pst.000065506660So how do you plan?
pst.000065506660So you would expect to get contingency plans in a variety of different natures, some of them consistent with the in- coming President as well?
pst.000065506660The loss of more lives?
pst.000065506660They could not have done that a year ago, could they, General?
pst.000065506660To what extent is this truly a problem?
pst.000065506660We have had some setbacks but we have made some progress recently. ” Well, are the setbacks irreversible?
pst.000065506660Well, why are the troops there?
pst.000065506660What are we going to do in the next 6 months to settle this?
pst.000065506660What are you doing to urge the Iraqi government to address this very serious hu- manitarian problem?
pst.000065506660What are you doing to urge the Iraqi government to address this very serious hu- manitarian problem?
pst.000065506660What are your responses to Mr. Maranda's allegations?
pst.000065506660What can you tell us about how this situa- tion came about?
pst.000065506660What do you see as the prospects for the return of those people who have been dis- placed?
pst.000065506660What do you see as the prospects for the return of those people who have been dis- placed?
pst.000065506660What funding stream would be nec- essary to accomplish this?
pst.000065506660What has all this been for?
pst.000065506660What is the U.S. Government doing to protect this persecuted minor- ity group as well as other minority groups?
pst.000065506660What is the consequence of a de- centralized government in Iraq?
pst.000065506660What is the definition of winning?
pst.000065506660What is the reason for it?
pst.000065506660What is the source of this mortar and rocket fire?
pst.000065506660What is your strategic vision for Iraq that will stabilize the coun- try and lead to a draw down and redeployment of U.S. forces over the next year?
pst.000065506660What losses are we ready to accept?
pst.000065506660What specific ac- tions, gentlemen, are being taken to use the oil- rich Iraq Govern- ment's surplus to pay for the war and reconstruction costs?
pst.000065506660What specific outcomes do you seek to accomplish in this regard by the end of the year?
pst.000065506660What will it cost to bring our troops home because we g to have to pay for that as well?
pst.000065506660What would a military victory look like that was sufficient enough to allow us to begin leaving?
pst.000065506660What, if anything, can be done to stop it?
pst.000065506660When does this end?
pst.000065506660Where do we get those numbers?
pst.000065506660Where was it negotiated?
pst.000065506660Why are they not paying more?
pst.000065506660Why are we paying everything that we are paying?
pst.000065506660Why are we spending U.S. taxpayer dollars at the current rate when Iraq has ac- crued close to$ 100 billion in oil revenues in 2007 and 2008?
pst.000065506660Why are we spending U.S. taxpayer dollars at the current rate when Iraq has ac- crued close to$ 100 billion in oil revenues in 2007 and 2008?
pst.000065506660Why are you not demanding that the Saudis follow through with their promise and that the Iraqis spend their reserves?
pst.000065506660Why must we continue to pro- voke Iran, just looking for an excuse to bomb that country?
pst.000065506660Why not?
pst.000065506660Why would Iran set up militias in the south to destabilize a government with such strong Iranian ties?
pst.000065506660Why would he say a thing like that, and that is one of the reasons why we get the kind of confusion around here that you see?
pst.000065506660Will they be observed by the govern- ment in Baghdad?
pst.000065506660Will you start planning on November 5 to be the best possible servant for the new boss you are going to get January 21?
pst.000065506660You know, when do you stop pushing that big stone up the hill?
pst.000017591218( For example, how many killings of its own citizens has the Iraqi Government engaged in as compared to that of other countries?)
pst.00001759121814,000?
pst.00001759121826 Middle East?
pst.0000175912189,000?
pst.000017591218A lawyer to explain the distinction?
pst.000017591218All right, Peter?
pst.000017591218And so now they have restored their military vigor from the exhaustion following the Ira- nian war?
pst.000017591218And what can we do?
pst.000017591218And would you just give me an overview of that situation, and which way it is going?
pst.000017591218Are there any further questions?
pst.000017591218Are they small divisions?
pst.000017591218Are we afraid that the oil energy prices would go down a little bit?
pst.000017591218Are we the leaders of the free world or are we not?
pst.000017591218Are you saying to me that the State Department has done no such thing?
pst.000017591218At that particular facility?
pst.000017591218But has it come to that?
pst.000017591218But which of those three positions is yours?
pst.000017591218But you can not affirm that Iraq's conduct has constituted such a consistent pattern?
pst.000017591218COCOM, that is the Coordinating Committee on Multilateral Export Controls to Communist Countries?
pst.000017591218Can the United States do anything?
pst.000017591218Can you give us an update on the status of that and how you feel that is going to move?
pst.000017591218Can you help us on that, and I wonder if Mr. Gilder could join us?
pst.000017591218Could we not ask the Soviets to join us?
pst.000017591218Could you elaborate?
pst.000017591218Did Iraq initiate the use of chemical weapons in that war?
pst.000017591218Did Iraq's use of chemi- cal weapons put it in violation of the 1925 Geneva Protocol?
pst.000017591218Did anybody sign it?
pst.000017591218Did anyone ever suggest that they were co- terminous things?
pst.000017591218Did we ever do an analysis if we did not take 447,000 barrels of Iraqi oil?
pst.000017591218Did you talk to them about grain?
pst.000017591218Do I have that pronounced correctly, Karim?
pst.000017591218Do sanctions work if all of our major trading partners are not engaged in it?
pst.000017591218Do we have some specifics on that?
pst.000017591218Do we stand up when it is right and it is proper or do we not?
pst.000017591218Do you believe Iraq has that capability?
pst.000017591218Do you cut off contacts with the Soviets?
pst.000017591218Do you engage with South Africa, or do you cut off contacts?
pst.000017591218Do you sanction them?
pst.000017591218Do you see any actual improvement in Iraq's human rights record?
pst.000017591218Do you sense what I have been trying to say here, or have I not been coherent?
pst.000017591218Do you think he is going to get any better?
pst.000017591218Do you think that our policy towards Iraq's nuclear smuggling effort has been sufficiently vigorous?
pst.000017591218Do you understand that to be accurate?
pst.000017591218Does Iraq's treatment of the Kurds constitute “ a consistent pattern of gross violations ” of their human rights?
pst.000017591218Does it mean anything to violate an international con- vention on something as serious as gas warfare?
pst.000017591218Does it mean anything to violate the treaty?
pst.000017591218Does that not bother you?
pst.000017591218Does the United States Government believe that Iraq is conducting research on anthrax, typhoid, and cholera?
pst.000017591218Dr. Karim, Mr. Graham, would you not agree?
pst.000017591218Has Iraq's role been construc- tive?
pst.000017591218Has the administration made a determination whether Iraq's conduct constitutes a consistent pattern of the gross viola- tions?
pst.000017591218Has there been a vote?
pst.000017591218Have spin- forming and flow- forming machines been removed from the COCOM list?
pst.000017591218Have they looked?
pst.000017591218Have we reached out to any?
pst.000017591218Have we really done that?
pst.000017591218How about Brighton Beach?
pst.000017591218How big are their divisions?
pst.000017591218How big are their divisions?
pst.000017591218How can the administration enforce the laws im- posing sanctions on countries that meet this standard?
pst.000017591218How can you then enforce the laws imposing sanctions on countries that do meet this standard?
pst.000017591218How do you alter this kind of outrageous behavior?
pst.000017591218How extensively did Iraq use chemical weapons in the Iran Iraq war?
pst.000017591218How large is Iraq's chemical arsenal, and what capabilities do we know it to possess for delivering chemical weapons?
pst.000017591218How many Hewlett- Packard computers have been sent to the Saad-16 facility in Iraq?
pst.000017591218How many demarches have we made to our allies in the past 5 years about equipment sales of foreign firms to Iraq, and what were their replies?
pst.000017591218I am sorry?
pst.000017591218I am wondering, is there any sense of the rules today?
pst.000017591218I beg your pardon, they did?
pst.000017591218I have myself talked to some of the Europeans and said “ Would you gentlemen be interested in putting some interna- tional pressure on Iraq?
pst.000017591218I mean, did we not go to all the other — there are about 80 other nations that have signed that protocol, or — are there probably more?
pst.000017591218I mean, do you really think it was an alleged supercannon?
pst.000017591218I mean, do you think- do you really think he was trying to build this for a pipeline?
pst.000017591218I mean, is that presented as information to the commit- tee?
pst.000017591218If not consequences to this, sir, then what brings consequences?
pst.000017591218If so, how was it acquired?
pst.000017591218If so, how?
pst.000017591218In your judgment, does the depopulation of Iraqi Kurdistan constitute a human rights violation?
pst.000017591218Instead of saying “ outrageous ” why do you not say “ illegal ”?
pst.000017591218Is Senator Specter here?
pst.000017591218Is it possible that Iraq can mount chemical warheads on its modified SCUD missiles with a 400-mile range?
pst.000017591218Is that as far as we are going?
pst.000017591218Is that correct?
pst.000017591218Is that not generally the record?
pst.000017591218Is that right?
pst.000017591218Is that right?
pst.000017591218Is the West Nile fever virus being investigated at Fort Detrick, MD?
pst.000017591218It is just to say that, what does it mean if we are not going to insist that the Geneva convention be enforced on poison gas?
pst.000017591218Large divisions?
pst.000017591218Law be- comes an assertion of what nice people do, but if they do not, well, what are you going to do about that?
pst.000017591218Let me turn for a moment, I believe, that you went with Deputy National Security Advisor to India to deal with Kashmir, did you not?
pst.000017591218May I respond?
pst.000017591218Mr. Chairman, we had a little bill pass the Senate twice, did we not?
pst.000017591218My question is, does it not constitute a consistent pattern of gross violation of internationally recognized human rights?
pst.000017591218My questions — and I have three of them on this- does the U.S. Govern- ment believe that biological warfare research is going on at that facility?
pst.000017591218Now, how many Hewlett- Packard computers were sold to that facility?
pst.000017591218Now, is that so?
pst.000017591218Now, this is a different world, can we agree?
pst.000017591218Now, who approved the sale of these computers?
pst.000017591218Or is President Hussein just getting involved in a lot of bombast?
pst.000017591218So that the Iraqis have rebuilt their mili- tary?
pst.000017591218So then it would not be true as well, that spin- forming and flow- forming machines used to make the bodies for uranium enrichment have been deleted?
pst.000017591218That if we, wheat and agricultural products, if we were to take a certain action, whether or not they would comply with us?
pst.000017591218That is a very — I mean, are things so bad in the State Department that they say that the United Nations Char- ter is optional?
pst.000017591218That is your basic statement?
pst.000017591218The Canadians?
pst.000017591218The Soviets have been very restrained about the export of nuclear tech- nology, have they not?
pst.000017591218The size of the Commission has been in- creased, has it not?
pst.000017591218The treatment of Kurds in Iran and Iraq is approaching the genocidal, is it not?
pst.000017591218There are no villages left in Kurdistan?
pst.000017591218There are not signatories to the U.N. Char- ter?
pst.000017591218These are?
pst.000017591218They do not- come on, now what about the Australians?
pst.000017591218They have not done anything?
pst.000017591218Was the Department informed?
pst.000017591218Well, I have had problems with anonymous sources, as has Senator Moynihan, I am sure, but has the National Security Council looked at this?
pst.000017591218Well, my third question, which will elicit the same answer, I am sure, is which non- Iraqi firms provided plant and equipment to that facility?
pst.000017591218Well, why?
pst.000017591218What about the building of the supercannon?
pst.000017591218What are the possibilities of working our way through that situation?
pst.000017591218What are the prospects for a peace settlement between Iran and Iraq?
pst.000017591218What did you take up with them, specifically?
pst.000017591218What do our intel- ligence capabilities say?
pst.000017591218What do we do?
pst.000017591218What do you do?
pst.000017591218What follows?
pst.000017591218What have we done?
pst.000017591218What impact did threatened U.S. sanctions legislation( the 1988 Pell/ Helms bill) have on Iraq's treatment of its Kurdish population?
pst.000017591218What information do you have about the torture and execution of Kurd- ish children?
pst.000017591218What is Iraq's involvement in Lebanon?
pst.000017591218What is going on here?
pst.000017591218What is the extent to which the government of Iraq has depopulated the rural areas of Iraqi Kurdistan?
pst.000017591218What is the status of Iraq's dispute with Kuwait?
pst.000017591218What is the status of the case in Iraq attempted to secure eight forged steel tubes in order to construct a 131-foot cannon?
pst.000017591218What is your assessment of these reforms?
pst.000017591218What is your estimate of the total number of Iraqi Kurds to die in chemical weapons attacks carried out by the Iraqi military?
pst.000017591218What is your opinion of reports that Iraq is engaging in a biological weapons program?
pst.000017591218What outward manifestation have we seen in a positive sense that gives substance to this conclusion?.
pst.000017591218What specifically has the administration done to protest the treatment of the Iraqi Kurds?
pst.000017591218What would happen if we did not buy their oil?
pst.000017591218Where will we take a stand?
pst.000017591218Who approved the sale?
pst.000017591218Why do things like the CDC's shipping West Nile fever virus to Iraq and other such countries occur?
pst.000017591218Why do we have to buy their oil?
pst.000017591218Why would those have been deleted?
pst.000017591218Will you find out?
pst.000017591218Would Voice of America broadcasts in Kurdish help alleviate that isolation?
pst.000017591218Would it be possible to ask if you could give the committee a brief to this point about a violation of the nonproliferation treaty?
pst.000017591218Would that consti- tute a problem?
pst.000017591218Would you like for me to respond to that, Sena- tor?
pst.000017591218Would you supply that information for the record?
pst.000017591218Would your opinion be classified?
uc1.31822038358743( Details below)> What if the MEK in Iraq never fired on US forces?
uc1.3182203835874312 So who would like to go first?
uc1.3182203835874322 did n't he and his organization become a very positive democratic force in Kenya after the British colonialists left?
uc1.3182203835874391 What changed?
uc1.31822038358743Am I saying that all of the MEK's claims are true?
uc1.31822038358743Ambassador, would you like to an- swer that?
uc1.31822038358743And I went back, What are you doing?
uc1.31822038358743And in 2003, the group voluntarily handed over its weapons to American forces 2# 181 What's Next for Iran?
uc1.31822038358743And is it anticipated that will be done before or after the December 31st deadline?
uc1.31822038358743And of course we understand that the º, Sadr has — do we call him the Ayatollah?
uc1.31822038358743And right now the only thing that matters is, will the 3,400 lives at Camp Ashraf be unharmed as this U.N. mission is carried out?
uc1.31822038358743And the military?
uc1.31822038358743And what happens if there is another massacre in the mak- ing?
uc1.31822038358743And why was nothing done to prevent it if we did know about it?
uc1.31822038358743And will the residents just end up in concentration camps or in jail or being tortured in Iran or Iraq itself?
uc1.31822038358743Are our sol- diers going to be there?
uc1.31822038358743Are you going to insist that if there is an extension?
uc1.31822038358743Bo K23?
uc1.31822038358743But before I left I had said the main answer I want to get from this hearing is what is the Obama administration doing?
uc1.31822038358743But do we allow this to occur?
uc1.31822038358743But just one more question from the chair, how much aid are we providing Iraq this year and next year?
uc1.31822038358743But now it is because he worked with the MEK they are the bad guys?
uc1.31822038358743But those folks at Camp Ashraf who are un- armed, they are on the terrorist list?
uc1.31822038358743But, Mr. Carnahan, would you like to proceed with your opening statement?
uc1.31822038358743Can I just add, will you have soldiers there, are you going to absolutely stop them from closing it?
uc1.31822038358743Can we not confirm the MEK's claims that 200 of the Camp's residents are wounded and yet medical supplies are not allowed in by Iraqi forces?
uc1.31822038358743Can you give an estimate of what would be an amount of time when that processing could be done?
uc1.31822038358743Did you get it done?
uc1.31822038358743Do we have any doubt about that?
uc1.31822038358743Does the United States, our Government, the State Department, support re- location of the residents to another camp in Iraq'?
uc1.31822038358743Gardner said, what are you talking about?
uc1.31822038358743Have we made it clear that the December 31st dead- line of what the Iraqi Government has announced that that is un- acceptable to this government?
uc1.31822038358743He said, what is that?
uc1.31822038358743How about both?
uc1.31822038358743How do we know it is going to be safe for the people of Camp Ashraf to be moved to another place?
uc1.31822038358743How do we know the situation is dire?
uc1.31822038358743I mean, you are presently now, if I understand, your official position is envoy about the clos- ing of Guantanamo?
uc1.31822038358743I urn aware erseveral uther casus where ºther he were told to apprºach the law enforcement agencies in European cauntries inelºlº"?"
uc1.31822038358743If so, what was the Iraqi response when we contacted them?
uc1.31822038358743If they are talk- ing about an extension, what kind of extension are we really need- ing to request?
uc1.31822038358743If we are negotiating what that time needs to be to do that, what should that request be in terms of do we need 2 months?
uc1.31822038358743Iran is advancing its political and security agenda in many ways, in many places – are we connecting the dots?
uc1.31822038358743Is that right, Colonel?
uc1.31822038358743Is that your title?
uc1.31822038358743Is this what is going to happen on January 1 unless the United States intervenes?
uc1.31822038358743Just what is the United States intending to do?
uc1.31822038358743Look you 25 days, we have n’t closed it, right?
uc1.31822038358743Mili- tary and development aid?
uc1.31822038358743Mr. Turner, do you have some questions?
uc1.31822038358743Ms. Chu, do you have an opening statement?
uc1.31822038358743My question is, has anybody in the Iraqi Government or anybody anywhere been held accountable for the deaths of those people by our Government?
uc1.31822038358743Now can you tell me, whereas you are representing the State De- partment, why we do n’t have those documents yet?
uc1.31822038358743Okay, Ms. Jackson Lee, did you have a ques- tion?
uc1.31822038358743Or they just are n't as intense as our friends in Europe?
uc1.31822038358743Our Government?
uc1.31822038358743Over$ 1 billion?
uc1.31822038358743PBS: And that it would be on the target list?
uc1.31822038358743PBS: During the meeting Ryan Crocker said what to allay those concerns?
uc1.31822038358743People call that Marx and Lenin?
uc1.31822038358743Repatriate?
uc1.31822038358743Rouleau quotes Rajavi's words from the podium: “ What are we being attacked for?
uc1.31822038358743Six months?
uc1.31822038358743So what is it with the State Department?
uc1.31822038358743So who in our Government knew about this?
uc1.31822038358743That computer equipment for internet service has similarly been blocked from entry?
uc1.31822038358743That infrared jamming devices manufactured in Tehran are posted outside the Camp to block transmission of signals to the residents?
uc1.31822038358743That is our position, the position of the Obama administration, that deadline must be extended; is that correct?
uc1.31822038358743The question is what role will the United States have in that?
uc1.31822038358743The question left unresolved is whether this allegation is true — did the MEK participate in killing the southern Iraqi Shi'a, or not?
uc1.31822038358743They do n’t know history?
uc1.31822038358743Those governments are saying, well, if the U.S. Government is n't going to accept people for resettlement, why should we?
uc1.31822038358743Time is needed, but the question is time for what?
uc1.31822038358743To be last?
uc1.31822038358743Was that an inaccurate description?
uc1.31822038358743Was that last or a guest?
uc1.31822038358743Was the Iraqi Government then contacted?
uc1.31822038358743We are just going to walk away then?
uc1.31822038358743We have n’t closed it, have we?
uc1.31822038358743What are you prepared to do to stop the bloodshed?
uc1.31822038358743What can people expect?
uc1.31822038358743What can you tell us today that the United States is going to do to pro- tect those people?
uc1.31822038358743What do we miss when we look at the actions of only one party in a conflict?
uc1.31822038358743What does that tell us?
uc1.31822038358743What does that tell us?
uc1.31822038358743What is the United States doing to avoid that massacre that we know is coming?
uc1.31822038358743What is this government doing to prevent the massacre on December 31st?
uc1.31822038358743What type of agree- ment was made?
uc1.31822038358743What will be our posi- 4 tion if there is another massacre?
uc1.31822038358743Who was there supporting Hussein in all his efforts during this period of time?
uc1.31822038358743Why are we, the United States, being an accomplice to this crime?
uc1.31822038358743Why does this matter?
uc1.31822038358743Why is this important?
uc1.31822038358743Will the United States allow the easier wrong and permit the Iraqi government to turn the PMOI overto Iran?
uc1.31822038358743Will we and can we, are we even trying to evacuate the residents of Camp Ashraf in the next 3 weeks?
uc1.31822038358743Will we be turning away again?
uc1.31822038358743Will we turn away?
uc1.31822038358743“ What is going on? ” And that is when it was revealed what Muqtada was up to.
pst.00006550163495 Does that make it classified?
pst.00006550163497 and other countries, an annual report on Iraq including its trans- parency and corruption?
pst.000065501634An appropriate setting for positive things is a congressional hearing, but to say anything negative has to be be- hind closed doors?
pst.000065501634And he has allowed other ministers to pro- tect their employees from any investigation?
pst.000065501634And how do we prioritize?
pst.000065501634And the date?
pst.000065501634Are they the equivalent of a U.S. felony conviction?
pst.000065501634Are you able to do it?
pst.000065501634Are you aware of any of the Oil for Food scandal incidents or Mr. Rich?
pst.000065501634But we need to ask: Is the Maliki government too corrupt to succeed?
pst.000065501634But, I mean, you would agree with that general proposition, would you not?
pst.000065501634Can we reduce the number of troops?
pst.000065501634Can we reduce the number of troops?
pst.000065501634Can you describe essentially how we got to this increase?
pst.000065501634Can you give me an idea, what is significant?
pst.000065501634Can you repeat the question, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000065501634Can you tell me, the allegation that this gentleman is in Chicago, is that correct?
pst.000065501634Can you tell us about the threats that you and your family have faced, briefly?
pst.000065501634Can you tell us anything about this 2006 report which is now classified?
pst.000065501634Can you tell, Mr. Bowen?
pst.000065501634Corruption involving how much money, hun- dreds of millions?
pst.000065501634Could the translator identify herself?
pst.000065501634Did he ever grant you permission to reopen the case?
pst.000065501634Do n't you think that$ 71 billion, such an amount that can build an entire country, do n't you think that it deserves a fol- lowup and attention?
pst.000065501634Do you believe that the government of Iraq currently has the po- litical will or the capability to root out corruption within its govern- ment?
pst.000065501634Do you believe that the government of Iraq has that will?
pst.000065501634Do you have a regular work product that you provide to your superiors?
pst.000065501634Do you have any ulterior motive for being here today?
pst.000065501634Do you have any ulterior motive for being here today?
pst.000065501634Do you know how this operated under the British mandate?
pst.000065501634Do you know the facts surrounding that?
pst.000065501634Do you know what data were used to prepare the report?
pst.000065501634Do you know what the name of that U.S. protection agency might have been?
pst.000065501634Do you know where Mr. Alsammarae is right now?
pst.000065501634Do you recall the facts surrounding Aiham Alsammarae?
pst.000065501634Do you see the likelihood that in a timely fashion they are going to be passed and enforced?
pst.000065501634Do you think that Prime Minister Maliki is in- volved in corruption himself?
pst.000065501634Do you want to complete your last ques- tion?
pst.000065501634Do you want to summarize, Mr. Shays?
pst.000065501634Does it look a lot like Russia did?
pst.000065501634Does it look like, in fact, that you have a corrupt government in that report?
pst.000065501634Does it look pretty bad?
pst.000065501634Does it look reminiscent of the mid-1990's in Russia?
pst.000065501634Does the gentleman seek recognition?
pst.000065501634Either of you, did anyone ever tell you that these reports were classified before you received them?
pst.000065501634Has Prime Minister Maliki or his associates obstructed any anti- corruption investigations in Iraq to protect his political allies?
pst.000065501634Have those been provided to the committee?
pst.000065501634Have you seen this letter before?
pst.000065501634He was the most prominent anti- corruption enforcer. ” Mr. Bowen, do you stand by that statement today?
pst.000065501634How about a leading question?
pst.000065501634How are the anti- corruption of- fices organized?
pst.000065501634How are we going to have any chance of success if there is cor- ruption going on in the Maliki government?
pst.000065501634How did you get appointed to these positions?
pst.000065501634How did you get that job?
pst.000065501634How do you respond to that?
pst.000065501634How is it pos- sible that these efforts can be in such disarray?
pst.000065501634How long were you a prosecutor when Saddam Hussein was in power?
pst.000065501634How many more do you have?
pst.000065501634How many people do we have involved with that and how much funding are we allocating?
pst.000065501634How much money was Mr. Alsammarae accused of embezzling, stealing?
pst.000065501634I mean, you know the level of corruption?
pst.000065501634I understand, but if such a policy did apply to you or your testimony, what effect would that have on what you could do?
pst.000065501634I want to ask the Judge, should we give up on Iraq and leave?
pst.000065501634If we have a witness that says Mr. Maliki or someone else and he was under oath, I believe?
pst.000065501634Iraq, in that report, looks better or worse than Egypt or other countries in the Lavant, other Arab countries?
pst.000065501634Is he right or wrong?
pst.000065501634Is it better than the mid-1990's in Russia?
pst.000065501634Is it your understanding that this gentleman is in Chicago, in the United States right now?
pst.000065501634Is that correct?
pst.000065501634Is that your statement?
pst.000065501634Is that your understanding?
pst.000065501634Is that your view?
pst.000065501634Is the mic at a good distance here?
pst.000065501634Is the surge working?
pst.000065501634Is the surge working?
pst.000065501634Is there a question pending?
pst.000065501634Is there an investigation ongoing relative to the han- dling of this case?
pst.000065501634Is there anything that you said today that would have passed muster according to this directive other than good morning?
pst.000065501634It is going to corruption?
pst.000065501634Judge Radhi, does it go all the way to the Prime Minister?
pst.000065501634Judge Radhi, to your knowledge, was Mr. Jabr, a member of the Badr Organization?
pst.000065501634Judge Radhi, who is Salam al- Maliki?
pst.000065501634Let me just ask you, Judge al- Radhi, are you regretful that Saddam's regime was overthrown by the U.S. Government?
pst.000065501634Mr. Bowen, as the Inspector General, what is your opinion?
pst.000065501634Mr. Bowen, do you agree from your observations in Iraq that cor- ruption is increasing rather than decreasing in Iraq?
pst.000065501634Mr. Bowen, is that your understanding of the facts of this case?
pst.000065501634Mr. Chairman, could I real quickly?
pst.000065501634Mr. Chairman, could we have the trans- lator identified for the record please?
pst.000065501634Mr. Davis, anything further before we move on?
pst.000065501634Mr. Van Hollen, do you have questions of the witness?
pst.000065501634Now, with the assistance of Blackwater, do you know where?
pst.000065501634OK, so we have fixed that problem?
pst.000065501634Or today?
pst.000065501634Should n't we have the whole picture?
pst.000065501634Should we give up on Iraq and leave?
pst.000065501634Should we set a redeployment date?
pst.000065501634Should we set a redeployment date?
pst.000065501634That information would be classified?
pst.000065501634The American people are asking, what are we doing and what are the chances for success?
pst.000065501634The Iraqi what?
pst.000065501634The Maliki government is our ally in Iraq, but we need to ask: is the Maliki government too corrupt to succeed?
pst.000065501634The gentleman's time has expired, but how can you say all those positive things about Iraq but you ca n't admit to any of the negative things?
pst.000065501634There would be an outcry: oh my God, is that trying to steal it?
pst.000065501634These were CPA days, yes?
pst.000065501634To your knowledge, how many convictions have there been in Iraq?
pst.000065501634Was he the former Iraqi Minister of Transportation?
pst.000065501634Was there any corruption under Saddam Hussein?
pst.000065501634We even asked one of the people at the State Department whether he agreed with a statement by Sec- point?
pst.000065501634Well, it is not uncommon, in fact, around the world, is it?
pst.000065501634Well, let me just ask what is the long- term hope over there?
pst.000065501634Were you ever prosecutor when Saddam Hussein was in power?
pst.000065501634What are some elements of civic culture that would reduce corruption?
pst.000065501634What can we do, given the current security environment, and what will we do to implement an effective strat- egy to help the Iraqis help themselves?
pst.000065501634What did you do before that from 1979 to 1992?
pst.000065501634What do you think the biggest mistake was that the American Government made?
pst.000065501634What does this letter tell you to do in regards to the investigation of Prime Minister Maliki's cousin, Mr. Salam?
pst.000065501634What is Maliki doing as far as you know or key min- isters of his to fight corruption that you can say is being effective?
pst.000065501634What is a significant amount, ball park, is it tens of millions?
pst.000065501634What is it buying, what is it doing?
pst.000065501634What is significant?
pst.000065501634What is the strategic plan to assist in countering corruption?
pst.000065501634What is the typical penalty when convicted?
pst.000065501634What is your opinion of General Jones'view of the Ministry of Interior's behavior?
pst.000065501634What market distortions enable or foster corruption?
pst.000065501634What response is forthcoming, both within the U.S. program and within the Iraqi government?
pst.000065501634What should we do to help the Iraqis fight corruption, mindful that they are a sovereign nation?
pst.000065501634What was your last question, Mr. Burton?
pst.000065501634What were the allegations against Mr. Alsammarae?
pst.000065501634What would you say is the key government capacity that is most important in establishing fighting corruption, would it be the IGs, the CPI, the BSA?
pst.000065501634Why can you talk about the positive things and not the negative things?
pst.000065501634Why do you think he closed it?
pst.000065501634Why is our Secretary of State saying things that are so directly at odds with the Jones Commis- sion?
pst.000065501634Why is that?
pst.000065501634Why would the national government stop you from stopping the corruption of oil sales which then go to the militias that are fight- ing the government?
pst.000065501634Would n't you agree?
pst.000065501634Would n't you agree?
pst.000065501634Would the gentleman yield to me?
pst.000065501634Would you be able to do your work if this policy were applied to you?
pst.000065501634You got a letter in regard to that, did you not?
pst.000065501634You were an official in the Saddam Hussein regime and how did you get those jobs?
pst.000065501634You were not a prosecutor from 1979 to 1992?
pst.000065501634ing, sir, that given that importance you have not been able to have audits or investigations into that ministry?
pst.000065501634money?
umn.31951d02738436362 How soon?
umn.31951d02738436374 have children and so forth, want to worship they way they want to worship?
umn.31951d027384363And I said, Dave, what are you doing back in Washington?
umn.31951d027384363And I said, is he really exhausted?
umn.31951d027384363And at what acceptable cost for overall U.S. security?
umn.31951d027384363And so where will this come from?
umn.31951d027384363And the question is, how hard do you want to push in order to change things?
umn.31951d027384363And what does this mean for post- surge US strategy and troop levels?
umn.31951d027384363As the Surge winds down, what elements of a successor strategy might we pursue?
umn.31951d027384363At one of these hearings six months ago where the — and the Senate asked me, why did n’t the generals tell us the truth?
umn.31951d027384363But all I could say is this, that after 9/11, one thing that people asked me in various venues, what can we do to help?
umn.31951d027384363But do you gain a tactical advantage by entering into these?
umn.31951d027384363But we think that things have gone very well and are very interested in now, where do we go and how do we continue?
umn.31951d027384363Can the Ceasefires Hold?
umn.31951d027384363Can you improve that?
umn.31951d027384363Could I stop you?
umn.31951d027384363Do you have any idea of what those numbers would be?
umn.31951d027384363FDR once asked Winston Churchill in the middle of World War II, what should we call this war?
umn.31951d027384363Finally, what should a SOFA with Iraq look like, and can you articulate the types of roles and missions U.S. forces in Iraq should continue?]
umn.31951d027384363General Keane, do you have any comments on that?
umn.31951d027384363General, or each of you, how long and at what acceptable cost to stay there?
umn.31951d027384363Have you seen Lute's War College paper?
umn.31951d027384363Having said that, we are in the middle of this conflict, and the question is how do we resolve it?
umn.31951d027384363How could we justify?
umn.31951d027384363How do we end it?
umn.31951d027384363How long will it be, for example, before a Shi'ia Arab sees him/ herself as an Iraqi first and a Shi’ia Arab second?
umn.31951d027384363I am sorry?
umn.31951d027384363I am sorry?
umn.31951d027384363I know you have answered this in a way, but how long?
umn.31951d027384363I mean, how will this change?
umn.31951d027384363If today America lacks the means to achieve its goals in Iraq, how could it do so under conditions far worse than those that exist at present?
umn.31951d027384363If violence is down because the combatants have chosen to stop fighting, will they choose otherwise when the surge brigades come home?
umn.31951d027384363In particular, do you think the timeline( January 2009) is realistic?
umn.31951d027384363Is he battle weary?
umn.31951d027384363Is he burned out?
umn.31951d027384363Is it a reasonable challenge?
umn.31951d027384363Is it because we are n't putting them in the field where they will get battle hardened?
umn.31951d027384363Is it corruption?
umn.31951d027384363Is it ethnic divisions that still run through the Army?
umn.31951d027384363Is that happening?
umn.31951d027384363Is that realistic in the real world?
umn.31951d027384363Is there a strategy that will lead us somehow to achieve our minimal objectives?
umn.31951d027384363Moreover, what has to happen on the ground in Iraq in the next 12 months to make a successful shift to a normalized bilateral relationship?
umn.31951d027384363Moreover, what has to happen on the ground in Iraq in the next twelve months to make a successful shift to a normalized bilateral relationship?
umn.31951d027384363Mr. Conaway, could you pull your microphone in?
umn.31951d027384363On which side?
umn.31951d027384363On which side?
umn.31951d027384363Once that is estab- lished and you create a new turf, how do we realistically keep it from migrating to exactly the circumstance we have today?
umn.31951d027384363Part of my question, is there a rec- ognition that this is a problem and that people want to solve it?
umn.31951d027384363Should we continue the US drawdown to troop levels below those of 2006 or pull out altogether?
umn.31951d027384363Should we return to our pre- surge approach of training Iraqi Security Forces( ISF) and facilitating a transition to Iraqi conduct of the war?
umn.31951d027384363So now let me just very briefly say with that as a threshold, what can I offer the committee now?
umn.31951d027384363So what do we do now?
umn.31951d027384363So, Dr. Biddle, why do n’t you begin?
umn.31951d027384363Sorry?
umn.31951d027384363The question is, are we up to that challenge?
umn.31951d027384363The surge saw a major reduction in vio- lence, but the surge is ending, so what does this mean for Iraq'?
umn.31951d027384363To do that is a repeat of past failures where we planned for unrealistic reduction based on what?
umn.31951d027384363We did a little infrastructure work on the Armed Services Committee so that this clandestine 70 people fixed North Korea?
umn.31951d027384363We had a private briefing at 8 o'clock with Kathy Hicks and Rick Barton, and what was the third person's name?
umn.31951d027384363We will be faced with can we get two other people to get along well?
umn.31951d027384363Well, how do you sort that out when you are doing door- to- door searches trying to make a neighborhood safe?
umn.31951d027384363Well, stopping right there, wo n’t you always have a tension between the groups that are in and out of the failed state models?
umn.31951d027384363What are some elements of the way ahead?
umn.31951d027384363What do we know now that we did not know six months ago?
umn.31951d027384363What does this mean for Iraq.7 Is the violence reduction merely a temporary lull created by an unsustainable US troop presence?
umn.31951d027384363What is the answer to that?
umn.31951d027384363What is to be Done?
umn.31951d027384363What might we salvage from the ideas put forth from each in crafting a more effective strategy?
umn.31951d027384363What par- ties would be bound by the cease- fire, in other words?
umn.31951d027384363Where are the Iraqi voices?
umn.31951d027384363Where are the Iraqi voices?
umn.31951d027384363Who would be the parties to negotiate the cease- fire?
umn.31951d027384363Why Did Violence Decline?
umn.31951d027384363Why ca n’t we field an army that is adequate to bring security to the country sooner, rather than later?
umn.31951d027384363Why ca n’t we shape these forces up?
umn.31951d027384363Why not?

umn.31951d027384363Will Iraq return to the violence of 2006 as the surge brigades come home?
umn.31951d027384363Will it be messy?
umn.31951d027384363With the dramatic improvement in security, and the beginning of real political and economic progress, where do we go from here?
umn.31951d027384363You think he had it rough?
umn.31951d027384363[ I'm curious to hear our witnesses ’ views on the Declaration of Principles, and whether you believe the timeline is realistic?
umn.31951d027384363d Now, do they share our values?
wu.89099038101As to the name, ” I said, “ the English law recognises only surnames; if you are a native of Mosul, are you not called a Mosulli wherever you go? wu.89099038101 'Ow d'you like England, what part d'you know best?

wu.89099038101After a rather awkward minute thus, the Consul, in an abrupt and official manner, exclaimed “ Why this disguise?

wu.89099038101Can he not follow the laws of his own prophet, and the ordinances of God?

wu.89099038101How many among them even know their own age?
wu.89099038101How shall a man not know his destinations? ”.
wu.89099038101I suspected then that you had some ulterior motive, and now, can you not see how suspicious your presence looks?

uc1.b3063850After France abstained on the vote on Resolution 1284, did it also then notify Iraq that the only solution for Iraq was to comply with the resolution?
uc1.b3063850Again, is the use of force an option?
uc1.b3063850Am I not correct?
uc1.b3063850Ambassador Butler, would you have any views on just the opposition issue?
uc1.b3063850Ambassador Butler?
uc1.b3063850Ambassador Perle?
uc1.b3063850Any possibility of that hap- pening in the Security Council?
uc1.b3063850Anything further on that subject that either of you would like to contribute?
uc1.b3063850Anything on that issue, Ambassador Perle?
uc1.b3063850Are we just going to go north and drop some bombs and then a defiant Saddam lives through this and looks stronger in the end?
uc1.b3063850Are you saying the imports of food now are high- er than pre- war?
uc1.b3063850As I understand it, and I want to be real clear, that is not one of the red lines, is that correct?
uc1.b3063850Briefly, either witness want to comment on the oil situation as a leverage for him to in some way foster his own goals?
uc1.b3063850But to your point, what is he going to do just now?
uc1.b3063850But, I am just concerned about who has who in the box on this, when they are producing the amount of oil they are?
uc1.b3063850Can I add one word?
uc1.b3063850Can you tell us what steps you have taken to reduce the impacts on readiness?
uc1.b3063850Can you tell us what that situation is at present?
uc1.b3063850Can you throw a little light on that?
uc1.b3063850Do I ensure their success and escort them to Baghdad?
uc1.b3063850Do my other two colleagues desire to make brief preliminary remarks?
uc1.b3063850Do we have the best policy?
uc1.b3063850Do you know of any reason for that or why that should be?
uc1.b3063850Do you see any pattern in Iran's decisionmaking as to whether either to block or to facilitate Iraqi oil smuggling?
uc1.b3063850Do you use that formulation here, refer to the other house as “ another place? ” Senator LEVIN.
uc1.b3063850Does he still not have a number of POWS?
uc1.b3063850Does the 4 international community have a better policy, if so, what is it, to which more nations might give support in this risky business?
uc1.b3063850First, can someone give me the actual percentage?
uc1.b3063850For what purpose?
uc1.b3063850General Franks, are you seeing any build- up or troop movements by the Iraqis?
uc1.b3063850General Franks, in your opinion, how formidable is Saddam's force today?
uc1.b3063850General Franks, since Saddam Hussein has regenerated his threats to Kuwait, have you increased your number of troops in the region?
uc1.b3063850Give the year that was established?
uc1.b3063850Have we covered fully the ramifications of Iran in this very complex situ- ation?
uc1.b3063850How would that differ from our actively, militarily pursuing the containment policy with our aircraft and our ships?
uc1.b3063850I mean, if we thought that maybe a group of persons could begin to degrade his power, why would the Arabs feel so strongly against that?
uc1.b3063850I wonder if you would tell us whether in your judgment there are benefits that justify the risks that are being taken every day by our airmen?
uc1.b3063850I would have to spell that out on the ground: What is my obligation to this force that goes in?
uc1.b3063850If it does not work, either because the Russians will not do it or Iraq will not enter into it, then what are we left with?
uc1.b3063850If so, can how long do you plan to sustain the increase?
uc1.b3063850If that is not true, why is it not, since it is supposed to be a oil- for- food program?
uc1.b3063850If this is true, could you please shed some light on the situation as well as any plans to deal with his possible successor?
uc1.b3063850Is he not stronger than he was in the years past, and growing stronger?
uc1.b3063850Is it correct that economic sanctions will be lifted when Iraq complies with the inspections regime?
uc1.b3063850Is it leverage?
uc1.b3063850Is it physical overtaking of nearby coun- tries?
uc1.b3063850Is it political blackmail?
uc1.b3063850Is it pure dollars?
uc1.b3063850Is it to defend himself against Iran, to influence American policy in the Middle East, par- ticularly Israel?
uc1.b3063850Is that not correct, Secretary Walker?
uc1.b3063850Is that purposely done?
uc1.b3063850Is that the key?
uc1.b3063850Is that your understanding?
uc1.b3063850Is there a better one?
uc1.b3063850Is there any alternative to the no- fly zone regime, both in the south and in the north?
uc1.b3063850Is there any way for the UN to gain greater con- trol over the custody and distribution of food and medicine?
uc1.b3063850Is there any way out of this, this burden that we are car- rying right now and the risks that we obtain by it?
uc1.b3063850Is this another pinprick?
uc1.b3063850Is this containment?
uc1.b3063850It does not involve resolution of claims, is that correct?
uc1.b3063850It sounds like a simple thing, but do you deduct the pay of every soldier, sail-- or, airman, and marine there?
uc1.b3063850Mr. Chairman?
uc1.b3063850Now, can I turn to the weapons- related subject?
uc1.b3063850One of them would be that he has re- constituted a weapons of mass destruction capability, is that cor- rect?
uc1.b3063850Over how much time are we going to do “ let ’s see ” and have our American pilots and British pilots continue to take risks?
uc1.b3063850Secretary Slocombe, can you assure the American peo- ple that Iraq does not possess any biological weapons?
uc1.b3063850Secretary Slocombe, can you assure the American peo- ple that Iraq is, at least, no longer capable of producing biological weapons?
uc1.b3063850Secretary Slocombe, can you assure the American peo- ple that Iraq is, at least, no longer capable of producing chemical weapons?
uc1.b3063850Senator Thurmond, do you wish to make a statement?
uc1.b3063850So we are at a stalemate?
uc1.b3063850So when did they get sup- port in the context of that legislation and timing?
uc1.b3063850The children seem to have borne almost a disproportionate burden, have they not?
uc1.b3063850Then, what is the meaning of the three red lines?
uc1.b3063850They notified Iraq their only choice was Resolu- tion 1284?
uc1.b3063850They said: Oh, you mean illegal smug- gling?
uc1.b3063850To what extent is Russia actively involved now with Baghdad?
uc1.b3063850We know that is being delivered for the revenues, but we do not know how it is being distributed, is that correct?
uc1.b3063850Well, if we are trying to pump 1 million in to save it, what about three?
uc1.b3063850What about the bombing of Yugoslavia?
uc1.b3063850What do we have to show for the risk and the cost associated with these missions?
uc1.b3063850What do we have to#: for the risk and the costs associated with these missions?
uc1.b3063850What do you see is the intent?
uc1.b3063850What do you see is the objective?
uc1.b3063850What goals are we trying to achieve?
uc1.b3063850What happens at the end if the region does not support it?
uc1.b3063850What has been achieved by way of compliance with these clearly enunciated in writing conditions?
uc1.b3063850What is it about?
uc1.b3063850What is my obligation if they get in trouble?
uc1.b3063850What is the administration doing to refute these charges, and how do you measure success in your efforts?
uc1.b3063850What is the dollar cost and measure of increase in the already severely stretched operations tempo( OPTEMPO) with the U.S. military?
uc1.b3063850What is the flow of international personages do we see coming and going in Baghdad?
uc1.b3063850What is the fur- ther intent for the usage of those weapons?
uc1.b3063850What is the likeli- hood that we can achieve those goals?
uc1.b3063850What is the objective?
uc1.b3063850What is the rationale?
uc1.b3063850What is the return?
uc1.b3063850What is your understanding of this matter, and what will the ad- ministration do if either Jordan or Russia resumes flights?
uc1.b3063850What might he do if we suddenly started either stronger actions or a military option or some of the very incisive actions that you have recited?
uc1.b3063850What might he do with that weapon to foster his own interests and deter the use of a tougher policy against him?
uc1.b3063850What will he do?
uc1.b3063850What would be the reasoning?
uc1.b3063850Where are these so- called camps going to be located?
uc1.b3063850Where do we think we are going to get the bases to conduct these operations?
uc1.b3063850Who is going to make up the oil needs in colder areas of the country?
uc1.b3063850Why can we not use diplomacy instead of war?
uc1.b3063850Why do you think Hussein at this particular moment has chosen to act in this manner?
uc1.b3063850Why the difference in the treatment of the Kurds in the north and the Shia in the south?
uc1.b3063850Will he do it before the presidential elections?
uc1.b3063850Would Iraq accept that deal?
uc1.b3063850Would you expand on that a little bit?
uc1.b3063850Would you put in it exactly the period of time you were there as CINC, your area of operation, and how it embraced this region?
uc1.b3063850Would you verify that the information contained above is correct or, if it is incorrect, provide the correct information?
pst.0000635043926 Cordesman,"Iraq's Sunni Insurgents,"p. 3.?
pst.000063504392Am I correct that the reason the words “ 12 to 18 months ” are in there is because that was your mandate, that's what you were tasked to do?
pst.000063504392Are there meters, which, again, is a basic elementary step- are there actually meters on those wells?
pst.000063504392Are those funds, that are obviously being gen- erated by someone, being used to counter our efforts there?
pst.000063504392But is it, or not?
pst.000063504392But those three are additive, right?
pst.000063504392Can it go down to 100,000, and still have the training?
pst.000063504392Can we just agree on that much?
pst.000063504392Capable, with our support, of being in the lead, that are not now in the lead?
pst.000063504392Chief Ramsey?
pst.000063504392Chief?
pst.000063504392Could I just make one com- ment?
pst.000063504392Could you expand a little bit on the bor- der issue?
pst.000063504392Could you explain that?
pst.000063504392Could you give us more guidance on when you believe the kind of realignment that you recommend could begin to take place?
pst.000063504392Did we have enough troops?
pst.000063504392Did we make a fundamental mistake after the fall of Baghdad I guess is what I'm asking?
pst.000063504392Did you find that to be a problem?
pst.000063504392Did you make any findings as to why that po- litical reconciliation has not been achieved by the Iraqi leaders?
pst.000063504392Do I have that right?
pst.000063504392Do n't you think Americans are wondering when the Iraqis are going to fight for their own country?
pst.000063504392Do we have agreement on that point, that there are some Iraqi units that are capable of being in the lead now, that are not currently in the lead?
pst.000063504392Do you have a number for that?
pst.000063504392Does anyone thing the guy in charge now can turn it around — has the desire to turn it around?
pst.000063504392Does n't this call into question the very core of our strategy?
pst.000063504392Dr. Hamre?
pst.000063504392General Jones, General Joulwan, do you have any thoughts?
pst.000063504392General Jones, how can lessons learned with ISF Special Forces translate into better successes for the Army and National Police?
pst.000063504392General Jones, how would you see the long- term view of Iraq, just based on your commitment?
pst.000063504392General Jones, what kind of U.S. troop levels would be needed to provide the support recommended by the Commission?
pst.000063504392General Jones, who is the force comprised of and what is their training?
pst.000063504392General Jones?
pst.000063504392General, did the Commission review of the data on violence inde- pendently arrive at the conclusion that the levels of violence have decreased?
pst.000063504392General, to what extent are Iraq's security forces contributing to the growing sectarian split in Iraq?
pst.000063504392General, what incentive is there for Iraq to step up and take on its own security if we continue to do it for them?
pst.000063504392General?
pst.000063504392General?
pst.000063504392Has there been much discussion of that as it relates to security today in this hearing?
pst.000063504392Have you made an assessment as to how many of those category units have not yet taken on that responsibility?
pst.000063504392Have you made that assessment in your report?
pst.000063504392He has the willingness to try?
pst.000063504392How long has the United States been doing it?
pst.000063504392How long have we been training Iraqis over there?
pst.000063504392How long have we been training the Iraqi servicemen?
pst.000063504392How long would those troop levels need to be sustained?
pst.000063504392I think maybe a year or so ago, when so much bad news was occurring, that American people began to doubt that, could we be successful?
pst.000063504392I understand, and should, therefore, take on that responsibility?
pst.000063504392I'd like to ask you, what confidence level do you place in that assumption?
pst.000063504392I'd like to begin by asking if the oil that is coming out of the ground in Iraq is it metered?
pst.000063504392I'll ask the others if you briefly would share your thoughts to the American people, is this a hope- less thing?
pst.000063504392If we take away deadlines, we take away benchmarks, we take away timelines, what is the ur- gency that will move them to act?
pst.000063504392In a direction that would enable us to begin to ad- just our troop levels?
pst.000063504392In other words — do you see what I'm saying?
pst.000063504392Is it April?
pst.000063504392Is it June?
pst.000063504392Is it March?
pst.000063504392Is it May?
pst.000063504392Is it just e size of the forces, the technology we would bring, the equip- ment?
pst.000063504392Is n't that the bottom line?
pst.000063504392Is that a consensus finding on the part of all the commissioners?
pst.000063504392Is that a fair statement about what we did before the surge?
pst.000063504392Is that a fair statement?
pst.000063504392Is that a fear?
pst.000063504392Is that consistent with your understanding?
pst.000063504392Is that correct?
pst.000063504392Is that correct?
pst.000063504392Is that correct?
pst.000063504392Is that correct?
pst.000063504392Is that correct?
pst.000063504392Is that fair to say?
pst.000063504392Is that fair?
pst.000063504392Is that not clearly what you're saying?
pst.000063504392Is that simplifying this thing?
pst.000063504392Is that what you're saying?
pst.000063504392Is that what you're saying?
pst.000063504392Is that your under- standing?
pst.000063504392Is that your understanding?
pst.000063504392Is there not now a significant number of category 2 Iraqi forces capable of taking the lead that are not yet in the lead?
pst.000063504392Jim, why do n't you come up here, speak to that?
pst.000063504392Let me ask you, can the adequate training continue with less than 160,000 American troops, as proposing?
pst.000063504392Mr. Chairman?
pst.000063504392My question for you is, how soon do you think we could begin that transition to a new mission for our troops?
pst.000063504392Not"going to. ” Should it happen, General?
pst.000063504392Now, the goal is to get more of the Iraqi units up to category one or two, is that correct?
pst.000063504392Now, why is that?
pst.000063504392Now?
pst.000063504392Okay, and is there any reason why we should not begin now to transfer that responsibility, and to utilize that ca- pability?
pst.000063504392Or are they funds that are being used — I hate to say this — to help our efforts there?
pst.000063504392Or did it rely on the military's previous assessment of the levels of violence?
pst.000063504392Or is that what you're recommending in this?
pst.000063504392Or is that your un- derstanding?
pst.000063504392Or that they should assume greater responsibility?
pst.000063504392Roughly next spring?
pst.000063504392Senator Bayh, would you, if you're alone at the end of your ques- tions, recess until we get back?
pst.000063504392Senator Byrd, could you give a few moments of your thoughts?
pst.000063504392Senator Corker, do you have any additional questions?
pst.000063504392Should it be a light infantry, a counterinsurgency force, or a civil police force?
pst.000063504392Should it happen?
pst.000063504392Should that not happen as quickly as possible?
pst.000063504392So do I, but is there some reluctance to say yes here this morning?
pst.000063504392So far are we together?
pst.000063504392So, one of the questions we face is, what, if anything, can we do to promote the process of political reconciliation?
pst.000063504392So, that is, in your judgment, possible and pru- dent?
pst.000063504392So, what are the missions that a smaller force can not only support, but would be more central to our interest in Iraq?
pst.000063504392So, what should the American people understand about when the Iraqis are going to begin to fight for their own country?
pst.000063504392That's your category, right?
pst.000063504392The estimate of the number of barrels of oil that are being pilfered is what?
pst.000063504392The issue is — what is the strategy to reinforce the tactical suc- cess on the ground?
pst.000063504392The issue, to me, Senator, is, how do you reinforce the tactical success that you have with the surge over the last few months?
pst.000063504392The next question is: we have that possibility right?
pst.000063504392The question, I think, is, when is that date?
pst.000063504392There are four categories of capabilities by which we assess the ISFs, is that correct?
pst.000063504392They're in U.S. inventory?
pst.000063504392UUSIIU LU NU UINailUUU, not?
pst.000063504392Was that within your purview?
pst.000063504392We can all debate, is the glass half full or the glass half empty?
pst.000063504392We're together?
pst.000063504392Were we going to have a realistic chance?
pst.000063504392What are the missions?
pst.000063504392What does it do to a police officer who goes out and arrests a no- good criminal, and they turn him loose the next day?
pst.000063504392What does it do to the neighborhood and com- munity if you ca n't detain people who need to be detained?
pst.000063504392What is happening with those 400,000 bar- rels?
pst.000063504392What sort of response did you get?
pst.000063504392What would it take to be able to do that?
pst.000063504392What would we do differently than is being done today?
pst.000063504392What's the feasibility of moving the Iraqi police force under the Defense Ministry?
pst.000063504392What's the figure?
pst.000063504392Where is the force that's going to come in and replace them?
pst.000063504392Where is the political coherence and the political infrastructure that will build on these gains?
pst.000063504392Who are their trainers?
pst.000063504392Why have we not followed that model?
pst.000063504392Would that be correct?
pst.000063504392Would you agree with that?
pst.000063504392Would you say your confidence level is high, me- dium, or low?
pst.000063504392You say that, “ Significant reductions, con- solidations, and realignments would appear to be possible and pru- dent. ” Is that your finding?
pst.000063504392You were not asked to do that, or you were asked to do that?
pst.000063504392“ Could this happen in the next 12 to 18 months? ” and your answer is yes.
uc1.3121001107457028 What kind of progress are they making, though, about commit- ting their own people and training their own people for that en- deavor?
uc1.3121001107457085 Senator, do you have an opening statement or questions you would like to ask?
uc1.31210011074570Ambassador Pelletreau, do you have any comments on that?
uc1.31210011074570And how do you think our country should address a military imbalance that might develop between Iraq and Iran?
uc1.31210011074570And my question is, is this really in the U.S. interest?
uc1.31210011074570And what can be done to keep firm pressure on Saddam if the oil export restrictions are lifted, as discussed at times by France and Russia?
uc1.31210011074570And what if the leverage of sanctions is removed or lessened?
uc1.31210011074570Are the indications that Iran is developing chemical weapons with Iraq in mind?
uc1.31210011074570Are they sending a message to the UAE or to other Gulf states?
uc1.31210011074570But this could imperil our ability to operate a carrier task force within the Gulf?
uc1.31210011074570Could these economic hard-;: mitigate against Iran's ability to acquire the weapons systems it has set its sights on?
uc1.31210011074570Could you pull the microphone a little closer to you?
uc1.31210011074570Could you pull your microphone close by so we can hear you?
uc1.31210011074570Could you repeat that once again?
uc1.31210011074570Do Iran and Iraq have — well, other than the scuds — do they have any other missiles capable of a range of 600- plus miles?
uc1.31210011074570Do we have an opposition in mind?
uc1.31210011074570Do you have any specific recommendations?
uc1.31210011074570Do you see a potential Shiite takeover in south- ern Iraq rather than an invasion by Iran?
uc1.31210011074570Do you see real movement at this point?
uc1.31210011074570Does He who guards your life not know it?
uc1.31210011074570Does that corroborate with your information?
uc1.31210011074570Does that mean we have to like the current Iraqi leaders?
uc1.31210011074570Does the Japanese decision represent a change in Tokyo's Iran f. or a one- time departure from the standard practice of extending credit to ran?
uc1.31210011074570Dual containment has a second weakness; how do we retain a role in the Persian Gulf in opposition to the region's powers?
uc1.31210011074570EFFECTIVENESS OF SANCTIONS If these are the aims, how effective have sanctions been in achieving them?
uc1.31210011074570Excuse me, would you mind repeating the question?
uc1.31210011074570Have there been incidents of attempted coups that you would attribute to dissatisfaction with sanctions within the military?
uc1.31210011074570How advanced is Iran's chemical warfare capability at this stage?
uc1.31210011074570How bad are the leaks?
uc1.31210011074570How do they separate, in numbers, into the factions?
uc1.31210011074570How do you compare the current capabilities of Iran with Iraq, and how has it changed over the last 5, 6 years?
uc1.31210011074570How do you feel they could be more effec- tive?
uc1.31210011074570How effective can these sanctions be without support from our allies?
uc1.31210011074570How effective have the sanctions been in achieving these goals?
uc1.31210011074570How is the U.S. respond- ing?
uc1.31210011074570How much of a problem do they create for domestic tranquility?
uc1.31210011074570How much support do we get from our allies for our economic sanctions against Iran?
uc1.31210011074570How serious a problem do Iran's economic difficulties pose for Tehran in accomplishing its re- ional ambitions?
uc1.31210011074570How serious is the split between Rafsanjani and the religious leadership?
uc1.31210011074570How true is that?
uc1.31210011074570How would you assess the effectiveness of this policy, and what criteria would you see as being useful in evaluating it?
uc1.31210011074570I am curious if you feel that we can lift the sanctions eventually, what will be the fate of the Kurds?
uc1.31210011074570I think the question exactly is really: What are we trying to do?
uc1.31210011074570If Turkey does not ap- prove the continuation of Operation Provide Comfort in December of this year, what will happen to the Kurds?
uc1.31210011074570If U.S. firms were banned from buying Iranian oil, would another buyer simply take their place?
uc1.31210011074570If you say, but we knew nothing about this, does He who weighs the heart not per- ceive it?
uc1.31210011074570In conclusion, do the people of America still care about this issue?
uc1.31210011074570In this regard, what is the policy of the Gov- ernment with regard to war crimes and pursuing the use of these documents?
uc1.31210011074570Is it possible to maintain an effective unilateral*::: on Iranian oil?
uc1.31210011074570Is it true that Iraq is once again manufactur- ing poison gas?
uc1.31210011074570Is it your sense that Saddam Hussein is stronger or weaker than he was a year ago?
uc1.31210011074570Is that accu- rate?
uc1.31210011074570Is that genuine?
uc1.31210011074570Is that true?
uc1.31210011074570Is the United States and its allies prepared to continue protect- ing the Kurds in northern Iraq indefinitely?
uc1.31210011074570Is the United States, without acceptable progress, ready to veto an effort to lift sanctions?
uc1.31210011074570Is there a change of attitude?
uc1.31210011074570Is there a message intended for the United States?
uc1.31210011074570Is there a º:( versus an extremist) faction in the Iranian gov- ernment?
uc1.31210011074570Is there any indication of who planted the car bomb that killed dozens of people last week?
uc1.31210011074570Is there likely to be any change in Iran's orientation toward the West in the foresee- able future?
uc1.31210011074570It is not what?
uc1.31210011074570Just briefly, what are those measures?
uc1.31210011074570Let me ask the panel, what else would you have the United States do, if the# people can not send a message to their own leaders to stop it?
uc1.31210011074570May I address that, please?
uc1.31210011074570Mr. Placke, is that the correct way of pro- nouncing your name?
uc1.31210011074570Now, Iraq has some, Iran has a different set of sanctions, but how do you view them?
uc1.31210011074570Now, is there a further delay for special inspec- tions?
uc1.31210011074570Now, with respect to that autonomy, what is the likelihood that either the KDP or the PUK could negotiate a deal of autonomy with Baghdad?
uc1.31210011074570One question is: What is the end game to all of this?
uc1.31210011074570Second, what about the impact of sanctions on containing Saddam's capacity to threaten his neighbors?
uc1.31210011074570Senator Feinstein, do you have an opening statement you would like to make?
uc1.31210011074570Senator, do you want to start us off, perhaps with that one?
uc1.31210011074570Should the economic screws be à. to prevent Iran from buying anything?
uc1.31210011074570So let me ask you this: What are the implica- iºs for the future of our efforts to really sustain a Kurdish minor- ity?
uc1.31210011074570THE EFFECTS AND COSTS OF MAINTAINING SANCTIONS What are the likely effects and costs of maintaining sanctions?
uc1.31210011074570THE IMPACT OF TRADE SANCTIONS In light of this analysis, how effective might the proposed ban on all U.S. trade with Iran be?
uc1.31210011074570The 3. is what will we do today about the Kurds?
uc1.31210011074570The first is, how bad are the leaks from the sanctions?
uc1.31210011074570The historical inspection, which is to say “ What did they do in the past? ” we do not get that for about 5 years.
uc1.31210011074570There are three broad questions I wº like to §: here: What are the goals of the sanctions?
uc1.31210011074570They beat me up, and they kept again saying what was it about?
uc1.31210011074570This s: considers three issues about the sanctions: Can they be expected to lead to dam's overthrow?
uc1.31210011074570Three million?
uc1.31210011074570Was this genocide?
uc1.31210011074570What about the Kurds who were not immediately killed?
uc1.31210011074570What about the U.S. intention in the Middle East?
uc1.31210011074570What are the main routes through which this oil is shipped: Turkey, Iran, Jordan, small ships in the Persian Gulf?
uc1.31210011074570What are your thoughts?
uc1.31210011074570What do you believe is Iran's intent by building up its forces in the Gulf islands?
uc1.31210011074570What do you believe is Iran's intent in building up their military strength in the Gulf islands?
uc1.31210011074570What does everyone expect?
uc1.31210011074570What does this protracted, tortured and costly process imply?
uc1.31210011074570What happened to the children?
uc1.31210011074570What happened to them?
uc1.31210011074570What if the sanctions succeeded in bringing down Saddam's regime?
uc1.31210011074570What is the long- term survivability of the Rafsaniani ime?
uc1.31210011074570What is your assessment of these reports?
uc1.31210011074570What is your feeling on that?
uc1.31210011074570What message does it send to our allies when the United States urges them not to extend credit to Iran, while U.S. firms are buying Iranian oil?
uc1.31210011074570What more can be done to plug up these leaks in the sanctions regime?
uc1.31210011074570What other actions need to be taken by the i. Gov- ernment for the sanctions to be lifted?
uc1.31210011074570What sort of regime would we be prepared to deal with as a successor?
uc1.31210011074570What specific steps is the United States taking to slow Iran's nuclear program?
uc1.31210011074570What was their reward?
uc1.31210011074570What would be the effects of lifting Or ºins sanctions, or, alternatively maintaining them indefi- nitely?
uc1.31210011074570What would be, in your opinion, the im- pact of any significant reduction or removal of our forces?
uc1.31210011074570What, if anything, should the United States do to encourage this prag- matic element?
uc1.31210011074570When we talked to Ambassador Pelletreau, I asked the question how many Kurds were there, and I thought you said 1.5 million, is that right?
uc1.31210011074570Where are we going to be in 3 or 5 years?
uc1.31210011074570Where does the world think that four million Kurds will go if given back into the hands of Saddam?
uc1.31210011074570Why is it then that this final unpaid claim, included in the claims process initi- ated by the Co ss, remains unpaid?
uc1.31210011074570Why would an individual want a half a dozen palaces?
uc1.31210011074570Why?
uc1.31210011074570Why??
uc1.31210011074570Why??
uc1.31210011074570Will not He repay a person according to what he has done?"
uc1.31210011074570Will the elections take place in May, as scheduled?
uc1.31210011074570Will there be any way of assuring their safekeeping when we pull out?
uc1.31210011074570With Israel in mind?
uc1.31210011074570Would the United States itself consider mili- tary action against Iranian nuclear facilities?
uc1.31210011074570Would the United States support such a strike, and if so, under what circumstances?
uc1.31210011074570Would you believe, Mr. Chairman, that some oper- ations are being operated without anesthetics?
uc1.31210011074570Would you en- large on that a little bit?
uc1.31210011074570at are the implications of this split for the future direction of Iran?
uc1.31210011074570at do you think American policy should do to deter mili- tarization, and really some abysmal treatment of people?
uc1.31210011074570at kind of a policy is that?
uc1.31210011074570at kind of threat does this capability pose to U.S. interests in the region?
uc1.31210011074570at signs, if any, are there that sanctions have resulted in a higher level of popular dis- enchantment with the regime?
uc1.31210011074570at, briefly, is the record on compliance?
uc1.31210011074570b) How effective have they been in achieving them?
uc1.31210011074570best interests of the United States to allow them to do so?
uc1.31210011074570c) What would be the positive/ negative effects of lifting or easing sanctions, or al- ternatively of maintaining them indefinitely?
uc1.31210011074570long will the Kurds be pro- Western, pro- American, and pro- democratic if they have no sense that someone cares about justice in their case?
uc1.31210011074570re there signs that the government is concerned about the effect of these economic problems on its stability?
uc1.31210011074570that sanctions are designed to accomplish?
uc1.31210011074570the U.S. to exploit in its effort to contain Iran?
uc1.31210011074570who else will?
uc1.31210011074570with regard to Iran and t reactors?
uc1.31210011074570Å. P §: Iraq is º: the nuclear weapons business for the near term?
pst.000047034969129 And Senator Biden, you asked: What will happen if we do not fix it, if we do nothing?
pst.000047034969155 to blow you away with a nuclear weapon?
pst.00004703496995 violating actions by India and Pakistan?
pst.000047034969Am I correct?
pst.000047034969Ambassador Butler?
pst.000047034969Ambassador?
pst.000047034969And can we now create an instrument for the control of weapons of mass destruction?
pst.000047034969And can we stand together and deal with this menace of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq and elsewhere?
pst.000047034969And do we issue consequences if they do it?
pst.000047034969And does the fault lie in the policy or in the implementation?
pst.000047034969And should we be thinking about something that is different, allowing them to sell oil if they pay back Russia and France?
pst.000047034969And so how do we move to a place where we can affect what seem to be inevitable outcomes if we just sit by?
pst.000047034969And so should we be thinking about something totally new?
pst.000047034969And two, what is the motivation, if you are willing to say, in your view, for Russia and France taking the positions they have taken relative to Iraq?
pst.000047034969And we sat there and what did we do?
pst.000047034969And where did they fail?
pst.000047034969And who does it?
pst.000047034969Ash?
pst.000047034969But I can not imagine somebody 30 years from now not saying, You know, why the hell did not those guys figure this deal out?
pst.000047034969But how do you do it?
pst.000047034969But what is the likely success of this approach?
pst.000047034969But what went wrong?
pst.000047034969But, once again, by whom?
pst.000047034969Can we complete the work that the end of the Cold War offers us as an opportunity?
pst.000047034969Can we do that?
pst.000047034969Can we do that?
pst.000047034969Can we get our own nuclear arms control negotiations back on track?
pst.000047034969Can you agree with us to accept weapons of mass destruction from politics as usual?
pst.000047034969Can you do that?
pst.000047034969Can you help us out?
pst.000047034969Can you in fact affect proliferation and abandon arms control re- gimes that are international in scope or more than bilateral in scope?
pst.000047034969Did Saddam Hussein have any biological or chemical weapons available to him while we were marching on him?
pst.000047034969Did we apply punitive sanctions?
pst.000047034969Did we condemn Iraq in this conference about chemical weapons?
pst.000047034969Do any of you have a comment?
pst.000047034969Do not do it?
pst.000047034969Do they go from 18 to 10 and cut them?
pst.000047034969Do they go from 18 to 800 intercontinental ballistic missiles?
pst.000047034969Do they harm Iraq?
pst.000047034969Do they not under- stand the risks to themselves or do they believe that they are un- likely to be vulnerable for a variety of reasons?
pst.000047034969Do we want non- nuclear weapons states to sign the so- called 93 plus 2 protocols allowing the IAEA to inspect non- designated sites?
pst.000047034969Do we want our defense people doing business abroad, and do they need to have markets in order to succeed?
pst.000047034969Do you have a thought, Ambassador?
pst.000047034969Do you have a view on that?
pst.000047034969Do you have any reason to believe that there might be a change in Iranian policy, given the elections and given the Secretary of State's statement?
pst.000047034969Do you have any sort of general thoughts about this?

pst.000047034969Dr. Lehman, do you have a thought about what we do in India?
pst.000047034969Given this description of the changing strategic environment and its strategic con- sequences, what is to be done?
pst.000047034969Has American and international diplomatic re- sponse to Iranian proliferation activities been adequate?
pst.000047034969Has any- body tasked you and said, what do you think India is going to do?
pst.000047034969He did?
pst.000047034969How can we fix it?
pst.000047034969How can we get good men to resume focus on this very serious problem?
pst.000047034969How do these things fit in?
pst.000047034969How do we fix it?
pst.000047034969How do we think about each of these instances of proliferation?
pst.000047034969How do you deal with that, what I think is a conundrum here?
pst.000047034969How do you do that?
pst.000047034969How do you sell that?
pst.000047034969How does this issue relate to what we are talking about today?
pst.000047034969How is this mediation or successful or constructive intervention by the rest of the world to occur?
pst.000047034969How much computer tech- nology or whatever else we have, is it useful to trade, given all that we know in the world?
pst.000047034969How would you describe what you perceive to be the motivation of proliferators?
pst.000047034969I am wondering, do you oppose the new inspection protocol that the United States signed with the IAEA?
pst.000047034969I just pose the question as a student of this now for almost this 50-year period of the policy, who does the work?
pst.000047034969I mean, I know these sound like bizarre notions, but can you talk about those two items for me?
pst.000047034969I realize that is a very broad question, but maybe you could just- first of all, does it make sense?
pst.000047034969If not President Clinton, who?
pst.000047034969If not the President of the United States or our country, how do we put this thing together?
pst.000047034969If that, then, is our world, and I am convinced it is, what might we do about it?
pst.000047034969If we could not sustain this approach with Iraq, what prospect do we have to sustain it with Iran?
pst.000047034969In closing, what to do?
pst.000047034969In fact, one Iraqi general at the time in a shocking, shocking statement said, “ Well, you have an insect problem, what do you do?
pst.000047034969In other words, to what extent have our arms control or our re- gimes with regard to nonproliferation had applicability to this?
pst.000047034969In other words, who provides the muscle or the credibility?
pst.000047034969In short, does nonproliferation policy have a future in these countries?
pst.000047034969Is it their self- interest relating to their eco- nomic interests?
pst.000047034969Is there a way to get around this deal?
pst.000047034969Is there any opportunity of rollback?
pst.000047034969John, do you have a different view?
pst.000047034969Just to be the devil's advocate, why do we have controls over any of this intellectual property?
pst.000047034969Let me just ask, though, why do we have problems?
pst.000047034969May I start?
pst.000047034969Maybe I can just ask you factually if the CIA ob- served any action that I did not?
pst.000047034969Mr. Chairman, may I ask one more question?
pst.000047034969Mr. Chairman, would you permit me two min- utes?
pst.000047034969Now, Senator Lugar, to your question: Why did it break down?
pst.000047034969One, do sanctions make any sense?
pst.000047034969Or do we have any evidence he had intelligence that he knew that we were not going to pursue his forces throughout the country?
pst.000047034969Or do you do it just by raw force, which is not a bad idea either?
pst.000047034969Or how do we stop this egregious violation?
pst.000047034969Or is a credible response the kinds of things that occurred?
pst.000047034969Or its implementation?
pst.000047034969Philosophically, is there a case to be made?
pst.000047034969Senator Biden, do you have any further questions?
pst.000047034969Senator Biden?
pst.000047034969Senator Biden?
pst.000047034969Senator Lugar, you asked the question: What went wrong?
pst.000047034969Senator, would you proceed?
pst.000047034969Should there be an article five commitment in effect to Iran and Iraq?
pst.000047034969Should we be thinking about a new circumstance where the na- tions, the power nations, of the world offer guarantees to these countries?
pst.000047034969Should we keep them in place?
pst.000047034969So here was a man- does that mean I have to stop?
pst.000047034969So what are the prospects for the future?
pst.000047034969So what do we need to do?
pst.000047034969States capable of making nuclear weapons but who have eschewed 10 See, for example, Roger Molander and Robbie Nichols, Who Will Stop the Bomb?
pst.000047034969Tell me, how the hell are you going to keep the subcontinent from being armed and dangerous and it is the most likely place there will be an exchange?
pst.000047034969Tell us how the heck we get from here to there to end up with the construct that you envision?
pst.000047034969That is credible?
pst.000047034969That is, pushing them in a position, in a direction that seems to be totally counterintuitive to what their security interests are?
pst.000047034969The question is what is the quality of the engagement, what are the carrots and the sticks?
pst.000047034969The question is: What do you do about all of this?
pst.000047034969The war of the cities?
pst.000047034969Was it the policy?
pst.000047034969Well, what is the decade scorecard?

pst.000047034969What does it take, in terms of this international regime, to bring about, as you suggested, punishment for Iraq?

pst.000047034969What should we say to those regimes?
pst.000047034969What steps must the United States and the international commu- nity now take to adjust nonproliferation policy to recent events on the ground?

pst.000047034969What would hap- pen if somehow the international community decided to have a presence in Pakistan?

pst.000047034969Who does the heavy lifting in this sit- uation?
pst.000047034969Why did North Korea come to that conclusion?
pst.000047034969Why did North Korea sign the denuclearization agreement that prohibited pluto- nium separation and uranium enrichment on the whole Korean Pe- ninsula?
pst.000047034969Why did he not use them?
pst.000047034969Why did he not use them?
pst.000047034969Why did they agree to an IAEA safeguards agreement?
pst.000047034969Why do people continue in this way, given the dangers to them, quite apart from the dangers to those around them?
pst.000047034969Why do you guys think he did not use it?
pst.000047034969Why has that momentum been lost?
pst.000047034969Why in that circumstance- I mean, is that a reasonable assump- tion that someone would have to think sitting there in the bunker?
pst.000047034969Why is it more effective?
pst.000047034969Why is this?
pst.000047034969Why should we at our expense try to undo something that is this monumental?

pst.000061513914According to DOD's August 2006"Phebe Mart, U.S. Institute of Peace, Who n> v Iraq's Nnv Leaders?
pst.000061513914Ambassador, Pakistan is an Islamic state, is it not?
pst.000061513914Ambassador?
pst.000061513914And I think you would agree with that, Admiral, correct?
pst.000061513914And I want to say to you, Major General, how long were you in Iraq?
pst.000061513914And I wonder, is the Bush White House trying to repeat this bait- and- switch strategy now in Iran?
pst.000061513914And have you been in any discussions regarding a bombing cam- paign with respect to Iran?
pst.000061513914And is n't it correct that this military is being trained for insurgency, not to defend borders?
pst.000061513914And is n't it true that of the 137,000, most of them — very few of them would be pilots on C-130's or pilots for heli- copters, correct?
pst.000061513914And we said, We're here, and here's what we do, and what's your most significant concern?
pst.000061513914And what is our analysis based on?
pst.000061513914Any other comments?
pst.000061513914Are U.S. military personnel, have U.S. military personnel or are U.S. military personnel deployed inside and around Iran?
pst.000061513914Are they funding these mili- tias?
pst.000061513914Are they training them?
pst.000061513914Are we determined to see this process through?
pst.000061513914Are you aware that they're having a hard time getting volun- teers?
pst.000061513914Are you famil- iar with that referendum that took place?
pst.000061513914Are you looking for another question or are you just asking him to give the answer that he has already given?
pst.000061513914But has that changed?
pst.000061513914But if I subtract the 137, we're looking for a Ministry of Interior of 188,000; is that correct, Admiral?
pst.000061513914But then we saw a new government take over, and I was there 6 weeks after they had been in power, and I thought, what have you done?
pst.000061513914But there is a certain point, and why ca n't we determine that?
pst.000061513914But why do any of these people have appeal there?
pst.000061513914But you do n't disagree?
pst.000061513914But you have made your point, right?
pst.000061513914Can you share with this committee any of your impressions as to whether the Vice President was involved in that decision?
pst.000061513914Chairman, this is what we are here for, right?
pst.000061513914Could I interrupt to make sure that we know who"they"is?
pst.000061513914Did Iraq have anything to do with al Qaeda's role in September 11th?
pst.000061513914Did Iraq have anything to do with al Qaeda?
pst.000061513914Did someone push that number down to 30 percent?
pst.000061513914Did you find that the Iraqis that you dealt with were Islamic fascists?
pst.000061513914Did you see any intelligence relating to Iran dur- ing the time you were in that office?
pst.000061513914Do we have a program to do that or do the Iraqis have a program to do that?
pst.000061513914Do you agree?
pst.000061513914Do you believe the President must seek authorization from Congress before conducting military oper- ations in Iran?
pst.000061513914Do you concede that there are gaps in the intel- ligence with respect to this administration's understanding of the situation on the ground in Iran?
pst.000061513914Do you receive authorization from Congress be- fore conducting military operations in Iran?
pst.000061513914Do you think that this report should be available publicly to the Congress since elements of it have been published in the Washington Post?
pst.000061513914Do you understand the question I am asking?
pst.000061513914Do you — do you note any point at which there is a an alliance of interest other than Muqtada al- Sadr between Iran and Iraq?
pst.000061513914Does the U.S. withdrawal out of Iraq impact U.S. military options in Iran?
pst.000061513914Does the Vice President have anything to do with that, based on your role working with the Vice President?
pst.000061513914During the time you were in that office?
pst.000061513914Either preparing a battlefield, gathering intel- ligence and recruiting local fighters?
pst.000061513914Has local governments collapsed in Anbar?
pst.000061513914Has the Department of Defense already com- menced hostile actions against Iran as was the case prior to the Iraq war?
pst.000061513914Has the U.S. strategic command supported by the Air Force drawn up plans at the Presi- dent's direction for a major bombing campaign in Iran?
pst.000061513914Has the U.S. strategic command supported by the Air Force drawn up plans at the president's direction for a major bombing campaign in Iran?
pst.000061513914Has the administration already made the decision to attack Iran?
pst.000061513914Have you read Bob Woodward's book, Bush at War?
pst.000061513914He did want to know about our hearing on Wednesday and Thursday and said, is my dad going to get to testify?
pst.000061513914How are we going to deal with it?
pst.000061513914How do we determine that — first, let me say of the 325,000, how many of them are going to be police or going to be military?
pst.000061513914How do you account for that in what you just told me?
pst.000061513914How long what can go on again?
pst.000061513914How long will it take us to get there?
pst.000061513914How many are basically being patrolled by Iraqis, not coali- tion forces?
pst.000061513914I am asking you, would attacking Iran heighten risks to American and coalition forces in- side Iraq?
pst.000061513914I am convinced — one thing you have n't told me is what do we do to change it; what do we do to get people to wake up?
pst.000061513914I just decided to knock on the door and ask, Is Saddam at home?
pst.000061513914I just knocked on the door and said, Is Saddam in here?
pst.000061513914I understand that the next year would be to improve quality which is your basic bottom line point; correct?
pst.000061513914I want to know, in your judgment, what stopped that?
pst.000061513914If the French told us that they had 20,000 troops, Mr. Nash, would we replace their 20,000 with ours or would we say, Oh, we will just add 20,000?
pst.000061513914If there were would you agree that it would be misleading and inappropriate?
pst.000061513914If we get to 100 percent or 80 percent in the lead, does that begin to say we can reduce our troops?
pst.000061513914In the other districts that are—60 percent of Iraq, that is, where Iraqis are taking the lead, they are still under U.S. control?
pst.000061513914Is General Musharraf an Islamic extremist?
pst.000061513914Is it correct, going back to the Army, that only 10 percent of the Iraqi army are Sunni Arabs, which equates to about 12,700?
pst.000061513914Is it possible that as we deploy more forces, there are more insurgents?
pst.000061513914Is n't it true that the President generally defers to the Vice President on issues that relate to attacks?
pst.000061513914Is n't that our easiest problem right now, though?
pst.000061513914Is that a no?
pst.000061513914Is that cor/ ect?
pst.000061513914Is that correct?
pst.000061513914Is that correct?
pst.000061513914Is that not correct, Ambassador?
pst.000061513914Is that right?
pst.000061513914Is that right?
pst.000061513914Is the U.S. planning and now recruiting members of MEK to conduct lethal operations and destabilizing operations inside Iran?
pst.000061513914Is there a functioning Iraqi Government institu- tion in Anbar?
pst.000061513914Is there any statement, for instance, Dr. Hoffman, that Mr. Nash and Mr. King made that you might want to elaborate on?
pst.000061513914Let me ask the question, is this basically under Iraqi control, Iraqi troops, and they are in charge?
pst.000061513914Mr. King, is there any statement that Mr. Hoffman or Mr. Nash has made?
pst.000061513914My — I guess my question is, what are we doing, what can we be doing?
pst.000061513914Now, at that great moment when we're going — so what turned that around, in your judgment?
pst.000061513914Now, let me ask you again, did Iraq have anything to do with September 11th?
pst.000061513914Of that 24,000, does the Department of Defense have estimates as to how many are competent and reliable?
pst.000061513914On the ground years worth of experience do they then become competent?
pst.000061513914One other question, did Iraq have weapons of mass destruction up until the time that we attacked them?
pst.000061513914Or at what point does it actually have a lay- down marker?
pst.000061513914Or do we just give up and say that if there are no advances then it's not going to succeed?
pst.000061513914Or is there any wonder in some Iraqis'eyes, Saddam's regime is beginning to look like the good old days?
pst.000061513914Or potential role in September 11th?
pst.000061513914So how about populationwise?
pst.000061513914So it is a relatively small number, is it not?
pst.000061513914So it was replacement troops or — how long were you there?
pst.000061513914So really, what are the political decision points that we need to be looking at?
pst.000061513914So the reason why you are uncomfortable with the time line is you believe that we do not have the proper amount of security in Iraq?
pst.000061513914So there is no U.S. military person- nel of any way shape or form?
pst.000061513914So what would those po- litical decision points be?
pst.000061513914So what would you like to put on the record before we get to the next panel?
pst.000061513914So what's your bottom line?
pst.000061513914So what, in your judgment, turned that around?
pst.000061513914So you are saying, you first have to have a mili- tary solution before you have a political solution?
pst.000061513914Sounds a lot like 2006, does n't it?
pst.000061513914Sounds a lot like what the Administration is doing now in 2006, does n't it?
pst.000061513914The deployment of forces, does it or does it not depend on the situation in Iraq with respect to how many insurgents there are in a given area?
pst.000061513914The first one is how long can we maintain this force that is there now?
pst.000061513914The only issue that I am wrestling with is, one, what do we do to make sure we win?
pst.000061513914The question I would have — what I missed here this morning is, why is it failing?
pst.000061513914The second 5 99 King: When Can Iraqis Assume Full Internal Security Responsibilities?
pst.000061513914Then how did we get to war against Iraq based on intelligence that you said that you reviewed?
pst.000061513914There is anything you would like to put on the record?
pst.000061513914Things have got- ten worse, so we need more people; is that basically your answer?
pst.000061513914U.S. military personnel?
pst.000061513914Was Saddam an Islamic extremist?
pst.000061513914Was it your job to help select the intelligence that would help to make the case for a war against Iraq?
pst.000061513914Was that a decisive leadership change that said stop doing this and do something else?
pst.000061513914Was that the next group that came in that did n't know it was their responsibility?
pst.000061513914Was the attack on Iraq because they had weapons of mass destruction, was that well founded?
pst.000061513914Well, you know what?
pst.000061513914Were there operations inside Iran in the last year?
pst.000061513914What Do They Want?
pst.000061513914What U.S. and Iraqi contributions will be needed over the next several years?
pst.000061513914What U.S. military support would Iraqi units still require at TRA levels 1 and 2?
pst.000061513914What are your recommendations?
pst.000061513914What decisions have you made?
pst.000061513914What do DOD assessments show about the developmental needs of Iraqi security forces?
pst.000061513914What do these assessments show?
pst.000061513914What do we have today?
pst.000061513914What do you suppose that's about?
pst.000061513914What do you think?
pst.000061513914What factors went into the decision that the Iraqi se- curity force would total 325,000 particularly an Iraqi army of 138,000 or so?
pst.000061513914What have been the U.S. and Iraqi financial contributions to this effort thus far?
pst.000061513914What is the continuing appeal of clerics such as Muqtada al- Sadr to Iraqis or those who advocate violence such as al Qaeda?
pst.000061513914What was it?
pst.000061513914When is that going to happen?
pst.000061513914When was it?
pst.000061513914When will they be prepared to take over their own security?
pst.000061513914When you say"could,"who could?
pst.000061513914Where is the political will?
pst.000061513914Whose job was it?
pst.000061513914Why did we determine that Iraqis only need 225,000, and how did we determine the mix?
pst.000061513914Why do n't we be honest and say that we need 50,000 more or 80,000 more or 20,000 more?
pst.000061513914Why have n't you basi- cally let loose your army to clean up the militia?
pst.000061513914Why is that the case?
pst.000061513914Why was that?
pst.000061513914Will they be home in 10 years?
pst.000061513914Would n't that be of interest, Mr. Edelman?
pst.000061513914Would you agree or disagree with the article which says that prospects for securing the country's western Anbar Province are dim, Mr. Edelman?
pst.000061513914Would you say insurgent movements or insurgent movement?
pst.000061513914You decided to do what?
pst.000061513914You know, how are their children going to characterize themselves?
pst.000061513914You used your study of both the Christian Bible and the Koran as well as Iraqi tribal history in performing your civil affairs work; is that correct?
pst.000061513914You want an integrated military correct?
pst.000061513914You were asking a question about our units that have 1 year of experience, you know, does n't that kind of get them there?
pst.000061513914You wo n't offer it to this committee right now, will you?

pst.000055837644Do you stand by that?
pst.000055837644Does a commander in the various regions in Iraq have, as a mission, to disarm the militias?
pst.000055837644Does anybody?
pst.000055837644Does that incident cause us to reassess circumstances on the ground and to change our course of conduct?
pst.000055837644Either you or Secretary Wolfowitz, would you care to comment about the cutting off of the payments to Mr. Chalabi?
pst.000055837644General, do you have any quick comments on this?

pst.000055837644Have you seen this photo, Mr. Wolfowitz?
pst.000055837644How and when will the Iraqi real estate that the Coalition Provisional Authority and U.S. forces have occupied be re- turned to the Iraqi people?

pst.000055837644How will this affect the role of the Ambassador and of the multinational force?
pst.000055837644I mean, is there a chance there's going to be some substantial resources that should come back to Iraq for its reconstruction from that program?
pst.000055837644I think it took, what, 50 years, 30 years?
pst.000055837644If I could ask Secretary Armitage, when do you anticipate that Saddam Hussein will be going on trial?
pst.000055837644If not, why not?
pst.000055837644If so, how large will the office be?
pst.000055837644If so, is this a CPA or a military function, or a contractor?
pst.000055837644If so, what will be our military objectives?
pst.000055837644Is he getting any encouragement from Mus- lims in Iran?
pst.000055837644Is it our policy, I'm not saying that we should or should n't, and part of the mission of Abizaid in Iraq to disarm the militias?
pst.000055837644Is it part of the mission — I'm not saying it should or should n't; I want to know, though, is it part of the mission?
pst.000055837644Is that a mission?
pst.000055837644Is that correct, as well?
pst.000055837644Is that correct?
pst.000055837644Is that part of it?
pst.000055837644Is that part of the mission statement?
pst.000055837644Is that part of the mission?
pst.000055837644Is that report inaccurate?
pst.000055837644Is that right?
pst.000055837644Is that to say that they are all completely se- cured across the country?
pst.000055837644Is that what you just said, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000055837644Is there a focal point of the opposition?
pst.000055837644Is there any truth to a rumor that State is holding up all new programming until it takes the reigns?
pst.000055837644Is this an effort by CPA to avert normal developmental programming process and congressional notifications?
pst.000055837644Is this the law as we proceed?
pst.000055837644May I, Senator?
pst.000055837644Mr. Secretary Wolfowitz, do you want to comment about that?
pst.000055837644Mr. Wolfowitz, how will prisoners, detainees, be handled after the transition of government in Iraq?
pst.000055837644OK, and what did the field tests reveal?
pst.000055837644OK. Now, what about this mustard gas 2 weeks ago reported by the Iraqi Survey Group?
pst.000055837644OK. Was there a field test as to whether this was mustard gas?
pst.000055837644Or have you talked about it?
pst.000055837644Secretary Wolfowitz, do you concur with that?
pst.000055837644Secretary Wolfowitz, have you looked into this particular claim that Iraqi women were actually raped by our soldiers?
pst.000055837644So I want to know for example, is disarming the militias part of the mission?
pst.000055837644So just yes or no, will we have to put more American dollars into reconstruction in Iraq, in your opinion?
pst.000055837644So my question is, how do we reverse this downward dynamic?
pst.000055837644So my question is, why the paralysis — if this is so important, by your own words — why the paralysis on this important issue?
pst.000055837644So that you believe that there is enough support for some type of secular Western type of democracy there?
pst.000055837644So the Ambassador will be in charge of the entire$ 20 billion?
pst.000055837644So the U.S. military, in effect, has the re- sponsibility for the conduct of the private contractors, is that cor- rect?
pst.000055837644So were you aware that a request had been made to a major network to delay the release of those photographs?
pst.000055837644Specifically, what is the plan to recruit and train 75,000 police and 40,000 soldiers?
pst.000055837644That's correct, is n't it?
pst.000055837644The biggest school?
pst.000055837644The report?
pst.000055837644They or their staffs knew about it?
pst.000055837644This year?
pst.000055837644To what do you attribute them?
pst.000055837644Under what authorities?
pst.000055837644Was that planned?
pst.000055837644Was the State Department aware of this, Mr. Armitage?
pst.000055837644Were you actually briefed on the Taguba Report?
pst.000055837644Were you aware of this memo?
pst.000055837644Were you aware that on March 26 this committee asked for a briefing on detainee treatment issues?
pst.000055837644Were you briefed on it, though?

pst.000055837644What are we hearing through diplomatic channels from Iran and Syria with respect to their intentions as neighbors of Iraq?
pst.000055837644What are you thinking about along those lines?
pst.000055837644What did you think went better than expected?
pst.000055837644What did you think went better than expected?
pst.000055837644What do they want?
pst.000055837644What do you attribute them to?

pst.000055837644What is the strategic vision in the Middle East now?"

pst.000055837644What will their roles be in each ministry?
pst.000055837644Where are they?"

pst.000055837644Who is providing them?
pst.000055837644Who will do the training?
pst.000055837644Who will have primary responsi- bility for Inspector General Oversight, how does the CPA- IG factor into the process?
pst.000055837644Who will hold them?
pst.000055837644Who's going to be in charge of that?
pst.000055837644Why?
pst.000055837644Will Iraq continue to be a combat zone following the transition?
pst.000055837644Will any of the$ 25 billion contingency fund be available for such unfunded reconstruction costs?
pst.000055837644Will that help or hurt our Mission in Iraq?
pst.000055837644Will the CPA IG be subsumed into the State Department's IG office or is some other ar- rangement under consideration?

pst.000055837644Will they answer to Iraqi or American officials?
pst.000055837644Will they have oversight?
pst.000055837644Will this be seen as just one more example of any meaningful change on June 30th by ordinary Iraqis?
pst.000055837644With re- gard to Najaf and al- Sadr, are any existing Iraqi militia engaged, given the green light, to take on al- Sadr?
pst.000055837644Would you pick up on that and tell us what you know?
pst.000055837644Would you support that at De- fense?
pst.000055837644You're saying you're still looking into it?
pst.000055837644basis will voter rolls be drawn — food ration cards[ which were only given to male heads of households], a census, some other mechanism?
pst.000055837644• What are the"lessons learned"that you referred to?
pst.000055837644• Why was Congress led to believe that funds we appropriated on an urgent and emergency basis last Fall would have an impact this quickly?
pst.000058153734— we'll talk about that to- morrow during our hearing on the economy — but you understand, what's the world to think as they look at all this? pst.000058153734 169 OPTION 4 Should the coalition and the Iraqi Government create a reliable set of indicators of when and where economic progress has been made? pst.000058153734 46 percent? pst.000058153734 68 Should they? pst.000058153734 90 percent? pst.000058153734 And I'm curious as to whether or not you have any observations about it? pst.000058153734 And finally, should de- Ba'thification be revisited? pst.000058153734 And if Iraq is declared an Islamic State will that formulation provide space for secularists, non- Muslims, women? pst.000058153734 And if Iraq is declared an Islamic State, will the formulation provide space for secularists and non- Muslims? pst.000058153734 And if all of those studies were burned tomorrow, who would ever know? pst.000058153734 And maybe they are in the answer to the security question, but why they do n't relate terrorism, or do they not see it as terrorism? pst.000058153734 And will that satisfy the Kurdish need for a distinct identity? pst.000058153734 And would we be diverting training assets in Egypt and Jordan that would better be devoted to training Palestinian security forces? pst.000058153734 Are Iraqi troops being de- ployed before they are ready in an attempt to demonstrate progress? pst.000058153734 Are the concepts of corporation taxes, in- come taxes, and sales taxes part of the ethos of the country? pst.000058153734 Are the recently formed Provincial Reconstruction Councils up and running and having a desired impact? pst.000058153734 As usual, my friend from Nebraska asks the$ 64 question: Is our policy worthy of our military? pst.000058153734 But are they flexible and open enough to deal with the new situation? pst.000058153734 But for the fact — I mean, where would we read some of that stuff? pst.000058153734 But if the constitution has n't been adopted, who is it that gets elected on December 15 that doubles back then to write the constitution? pst.000058153734 But it was about simple things: Can you turn the spigot and water come out? pst.000058153734 But let me make a final point here, and that is, would it upset Iraqi public opinion, is there hostility? pst.000058153734 But you get a sense that they realize their fu- tures depend on it, right? pst.000058153734 Can I interrupt on that one point? pst.000058153734 Can I pursue that with you just a second? pst.000058153734 Can Iran play a role there? pst.000058153734 Can the United States influence these views, or should we attempt to influence those views? pst.000058153734 Could credible Sunnis be enlisted to partici- pate in this process? pst.000058153734 Could credible Sunnis be enlisted to participate in this process? pst.000058153734 Could security be pro- vided to prevent terrorist attacks during the townhall events? pst.000058153734 Could security be pro- vided to prevent terrorist attacks during the townhall events? pst.000058153734 Could such a campaign reach the Iraqi people and would Iraqis participate despite threats of retribution? pst.000058153734 Could such a campaign reach the Iraqi people, and would Iraqis participate despite threats of retribution? pst.000058153734 Do you follow me? pst.000058153734 Do you have a comment, Mr. Mohamedi? pst.000058153734 Do you have a sense what that is? pst.000058153734 Do you have a thought? pst.000058153734 Do you think we could do that in a timely way? pst.000058153734 Does the current compressed timetable for drafting and approving the constitution aggravate the destabilizing differences among the parties? pst.000058153734 Does this lead to a wider sense of a United States- Iranian opportunity for a relationship? pst.000058153734 Dr. Cordesman, would you begin our discussion on these issues of security training? pst.000058153734 Dr. Crane, would you have a go at that? pst.000058153734 Dr. Marr, I think you've thought about this issue for a bit, and will you give your judgment? pst.000058153734 Dr. Marr, have you had such inspirations at this point? pst.000058153734 First of all, what is the public opinion beyond what it says here? pst.000058153734 For example, one ques- tion is:Were Iraq to have a Presidential system which of the fol- lowing methods would you prefer?"
pst.000058153734Fundamentally, is there going to be a way out of this, in your judgment?
pst.000058153734General McCaffrey, would you offer us your thoughts?
pst.000058153734Government?"
pst.000058153734Have we for- gotten all about that?
pst.000058153734How about ex- Ba'th officers?
pst.000058153734How can the coalition help?
pst.000058153734How can the people of the world be expected to give money to a country that has oil?
pst.000058153734How can this process be facilitated and how can the coalition help?
pst.000058153734How can this process of accommodation be facilitated?
pst.000058153734How can we measure success or failure if the administration does not state what their intention is?
pst.000058153734How close should that relationship develop?
pst.000058153734How could you possibly plan your life under the circumstances that you have right now?
pst.000058153734How deep, how wide is that relationship?
pst.000058153734How does that work?
pst.000058153734How hard is that to do?
pst.000058153734How much farther do we let these things go on?
pst.000058153734I do not know if we are going to talk our way through another quadrennial defense review, but at this point all I can say is, who cares?
pst.000058153734I think it is far more — if we are going to put pressure on our allies, what do we want?
pst.000058153734I would just ask, parenthetically, what other sources of revenue are likely to be useful?
pst.000058153734If we ca n't do anything about it, why are we being asked to get up and express our views?
pst.000058153734If we succeed, you know what?
pst.000058153734In the wrong direction column why is it going in the wrong direc- tion?
pst.000058153734Instead, should we be encouraging Iraqis to promulgate a miniconstitution covering electoral law and other items on which agreement can be reached?
pst.000058153734Is inter- national and Arab intervention feasible?
pst.000058153734Is international and Arab intervention feasible in that process?
pst.000058153734Is it helpful?
pst.000058153734Is such involvement feasible, or would it be counter- productive?
pst.000058153734Is such involvement feasible, or would it be counterproductive?
pst.000058153734Is there an Iraqi identity and if so what is its nature?
pst.000058153734Is there some other vehicle that could provide technical support and mediation services for Sunnis and Shi'as to come to a peaceful accommodation?
pst.000058153734Is there something here that is suffi- ciently Iraqi to assure that?
pst.000058153734Is this a valid reading or was it April and maybe they are feeling differently in July?
pst.000058153734Less than 10 percent of the special police units and 20 percent of 1 Three detailed papers are available:"Staying the Course?
pst.000058153734Let me ask Doctors Pollack and Cordesman: Have you been called in by any senior members of the administra- tion to get your take recently on Iraq?
pst.000058153734Ms. Van Rest, I'm interested in your survey done, why do you think Iraq is heading in the right or wrong direction?
pst.000058153734My time is up, but a short answer from either one of your colleagues?
pst.000058153734Now what does that mean in a practical way for the United States?
pst.000058153734Now what is the process then?
pst.000058153734Now, does the transitional law account for who would be elected in the December 15 event?
pst.000058153734Now, what are the Sunnis outside doing?
pst.000058153734OPTION 3 Should the coalition put more emphasis on overcoming the twin curses of the oil sec- tor: Corruption and sabotage?
pst.000058153734On a scale of 1 to 5, how important do you think it is that they be part of Iraq's new constitution?
pst.000058153734Option 1: Should the coalition revise its current counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq?
pst.000058153734Option 1—Should the coalition revise its current counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq?
pst.000058153734Option 3—Should the United States reprioritize the training schedule of Iraqi forces and support more training in other countries?
pst.000058153734Option 3—Should the coatition put more emphasis on overcoming the twin curses of the oil sector: Corruption and sabotage?
pst.000058153734Option 3—Should we take new steps to forestall a Sunni- Shi'a conflict?
pst.000058153734Option 4: Should the President change the force structure of the United States pres- ence in Iraq?
pst.000058153734Option 4—Should the President change the force structure of the U.S. presence in Iraq?
pst.000058153734Option one is: Should the coalition revise its cur- rent counterinsurgency strategy in Iraq?
pst.000058153734Or complaints by foreign truckers and potential blockades by taxi drivers from pro- tests in the immediate aftermath of a price increase?
pst.000058153734Or is there a process?
pst.000058153734Or should we stick to the current schedule by pressing for a completed constitution by the dead- lines that have already been established?
pst.000058153734Or will some or all of these resources accrue to local and regional governments?
pst.000058153734Or will these countries provide training only if the cost is picked up by the United States?
pst.000058153734Petraeus is saying it, Abizaid is saying it, but are we actually giv- ing them the tools they need to do their job?
pst.000058153734Senator Murkowski, do you have an opening thought today?
pst.000058153734Should de- Ba'thification be revisited?
pst.000058153734Should it de- velop?
pst.000058153734Should the United States reprioritize the training schedule of Iraqi forces and support more training in other countries?
pst.000058153734Should the coalition attempt to take ad- vantage of divisions within the insurgents, for example Sunni na- tionalists versus foreign jihadists?
pst.000058153734Should the coalition attempt to take advantage of divisions within the insurgents, e.g, the Sunni nationalists versus the for- eign jihadists?
pst.000058153734Should the coalition conduct a public education campaign designed to stimulate interest in the constitution and discussion of the insurgency?
pst.000058153734Should the coalition do more to shift additional economic develop- ment resources and emphasis from Baghdad to the provinces?
pst.000058153734Should we put more emphasis on training Iraqi military officers perhaps in the United States, in an effort to create professional military leadership?
pst.000058153734Should we take new steps to forestall a Sunni- Shi'a conflict?
pst.000058153734Should we take steps to forestall a Sunni- Shi'a conflict?
pst.000058153734So you have the national elections anyway?
pst.000058153734Sunni nationalists vs. foreign jihadists?
pst.000058153734That is my first question: Is it too late?
pst.000058153734That, of course, brings me to the last point, which is where do you find these troops?
pst.000058153734The idea we are now sitting down and doing an assessment of oil?
pst.000058153734This means the United States and its allies need to de- 39 General McCaffrey, would you comment on this area of consider- ation?
pst.000058153734Very briefly, very broadly, what would a counterinsurgency strategy look like for Iraq?
pst.000058153734We always seem to be running around in circles and people say, have we not done this before?
pst.000058153734We have raised, from time to time around the country, the ques- tion of how debt reduction is going, debt forgiveness?
pst.000058153734We said: What, are you nuts?
pst.000058153734What Can be Done in Iraq,""Iraq's Evolving Insurgency,""Iraqi Force Development: Can Iraqi Forces Do the Job?"
pst.000058153734What about Iraq as part of the Arab world?
pst.000058153734What about Iraq as part of the Arab world?
pst.000058153734What are the benchmarks?
pst.000058153734What are we doing?
pst.000058153734What are we set- ting out?
pst.000058153734What can and should the coalition do to advance this aim?
pst.000058153734What can/ should the coalition do to advance this aim?
pst.000058153734What could you believe?
pst.000058153734What have been the challenges in achieving this aim?
pst.000058153734What is it that we are trying to do?
pst.000058153734What is the goal?
pst.000058153734What is the read?
pst.000058153734What is the second thing we heard?
pst.000058153734What is the strategy?
pst.000058153734What kind of challenges does it present?
pst.000058153734What pressures, if any, can or should the coalition exert on the Iraqi Government to adopt either of these courses?
pst.000058153734What was the first thing we heard?
pst.000058153734What will it say about na- tionalities?
pst.000058153734What will the constitution say about"nationalities"inside Iraq and will it satisfy the Kurdish need for a distinct identity?
pst.000058153734Where do we stand in all this?
pst.000058153734Which figures would be the most useful, and could such statistics be created free from political influence and would they be seen as credible?
pst.000058153734Why was that excluded, was it security reasons up there?
pst.000058153734Why would either group disarm?
pst.000058153734Why would you want to be associated with that idea?
pst.000058153734Why?
pst.000058153734Why?
pst.000058153734Will oil do it in one form or another, or what else is going to be required?
pst.000058153734Will provinces be defined on a terri- torial basis or will there be an ethnic or sectarian component?
pst.000058153734Will strengthening regional and local authorities outside Baghdad speed delivery of services and broaden the tangible benefits of aid?
pst.000058153734Will the current 18 provinces continue to exist?
pst.000058153734Will the sense of being Iraqi be sufficient?
pst.000058153734Will they man- age to get the outside investment that will be required to get the kind of employment levels or the economy that they want?
pst.000058153734Will this be vested in the central government, or Iraq citizens, or will some of these resources accrue to local and regional governments?
pst.000058153734With that anecdotal reflection, Mr. Mohamedi, would you observe your thoughts on this?
pst.000058153734Within the oil sector, where is the corruption problem greatest?
pst.000058153734Would agreements on lim- ited subjects build momentum toward cooperation on more difficult items?
pst.000058153734Would the polit- ical ramifications of such integration outweigh the security benefits?
pst.000058153734Would the political ramifications of such integration outweigh the security benefits?
pst.000058153734Would this free up significant numbers of U.S. troops for other duties, or would the gains be insignificant?
pst.000058153734Would this strategy work?
pst.000058153734Would you have a go at it?
pst.000058153734Would you please proceed?
pst.000058153734Would you proceed with your thoughts on this area, Dr. Pollack?
pst.000058153734Would you start with this, Dr. Crane?
pst.000058153734• Are Iraqi troops being deployed before they are ready in an attempt to dem- onstrate progress?
pst.000058153734• Can foreign infiltration of Iraq be stopped by enhancing border security?
pst.000058153734• Can we increase the number of troops trained in other countries, such as France, Jordan, and Egypt?
pst.000058153734• Do we have the right number and types of troops in Iraq?
pst.000058153734• If foreign infiltration of Iraq could be stopped or slowed significantly, how much impact would that have on the insurgency?
pst.000058153734• Should we put more emphasis on training Iraqi military officers in the United States in an effort to create professional military leadership?
pst.000058153734• What would the United States have to do to convince allies to participate in this manner?
pst.000058153734• Will we be diverting training assets in Egypt and Jordan that would be better devoted to training Palestinian security forces?
pst.000058153734• Would an increase in U.S. troops have a discernable impact on security?
pst.000058153734• Would it upset Iraqi public opinion'?
mdp.39015039056646* what was the immediacy of the threat of attack against Israel or loss of the option to strike the reactor and mitigate this threat?
mdp.3901503905664619 Were you aware of this statement on the floor of the House of Representatives when it was made on the 24th of March?
mdp.3901503905664648 Iraq's capabilities Second, what were Iraq's capabilities with regard to the produc- tion of nuclear weapons?
mdp.39015039056646A week, 2 weeks, 10 days?
mdp.39015039056646Am I accurate in this statement?
mdp.39015039056646And nothing has been delivered since?
mdp.39015039056646And nothing is planned?
mdp.39015039056646And, has the attack made a peaceful settlement of the missile crisis in Lebanon even more difficult?
mdp.39015039056646Are there any further questions?
mdp.39015039056646Are there any further questions?
mdp.39015039056646Are we planning any kind of an international agreement on this proliferation danger?
mdp.39015039056646Are you aware of allegations that that raid may indeed have been conducted by Israelis using F-4 airplanes?
mdp.39015039056646Are you reading something?
mdp.39015039056646Are you satisfied with the current state of inspections to allay the world's fears?
mdp.39015039056646Are you saying then that question has to be an- swered privately or confidentially?
mdp.39015039056646As I understand the agreements with Israel there were not any exceptions to the U.S. law?
mdp.39015039056646But even if you get a separate visa, you do not get a visa for a month, do you, or for a certain month?
mdp.39015039056646But in preparation for this meeting, did you use one particular treatise?
mdp.39015039056646By the way, Mr. Veliotes, when you receive that report, you will supply your answer on it for the record?
mdp.39015039056646Ca n't we have a yes or no answer?
mdp.39015039056646Can there be any doubt about that?
mdp.39015039056646Can you tell us if that policy has become an established one between the two governments?
mdp.39015039056646Commonsense forces me to say, why not go in?
mdp.39015039056646Could I ask you to comment on the veracity or accuracy of that report when you provide us with the additional information?
mdp.39015039056646Could I start by addressing this to Mr. Nosenzo?
mdp.39015039056646Could you speculate what might explain the divergence of views, Doctor?
mdp.39015039056646Could you supply those for the record?
mdp.39015039056646Could you tell me the basis of your notes?
mdp.39015039056646Did our intelli- gence services make an assessment, as late as February 1981, of the nuclear weapon capability of the Osirak reactor?
mdp.39015039056646Did our intelligence tell the Israelis that we did not feel the Osirak reactor was presently being used to make bombs?
mdp.39015039056646Did that action precipitate a meeting of the United Nations Security Council?
mdp.39015039056646Did the Ezer Weizman statement lead to a consul- tation framework?
mdp.39015039056646Did the attempt by the Iranian Air Force to bomb the same nuclear facility result in a Security Council meeting at the United Nations?
mdp.39015039056646Did we ever take any initiatives to try to convince the Iraqis, the French, the Italians, to stop developing a nuclear capability in Iraq?
mdp.39015039056646Did we join with Israel in that appeal or approach?
mdp.39015039056646Did we support that appeal, or ap- proach, or whatever word you want to use?
mdp.39015039056646Did we take part in that?
mdp.39015039056646Did you have an opportunity to verify any of those statements?
mdp.39015039056646Did you take a close look at the facts and circumstances before you sent the preliminary letter up?
mdp.39015039056646Do the others wish to comment, Mr. Houck?
mdp.39015039056646Do we feel that it was legitimate self- defense, the June 7 strike?
mdp.39015039056646Do you agree with this statement?
mdp.39015039056646Do you detect a double standard in all of these lacks of parallels?
mdp.39015039056646Do you have a position on that yet?
mdp.39015039056646Do you have any thoughts on that?
mdp.39015039056646Do you have the same feeling, Mr. Richter?
mdp.39015039056646Do you know who were the inspectors?
mdp.39015039056646Do you know, Mr. Richter?
mdp.39015039056646Do you know, either of you?
mdp.39015039056646Do you know?
mdp.39015039056646Do you think it is time for us to do that?
mdp.39015039056646Do you think it was wise to leave out yellowcake?
mdp.39015039056646Do you think that was wise to leave out yellow- cake?
mdp.39015039056646Do you think the attack was a prelude to general offensive action, as the Arab propagandists aver?
mdp.39015039056646Does that mean that inspection is limited only to materials which are declared by the host state?
mdp.39015039056646Does the chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe and the Middle East care to comment?
mdp.39015039056646Does the excerpt that you have in your statement misrepresent the situation because it is not the complete report?
mdp.39015039056646Does the gentleman from Illinois yield?
mdp.39015039056646Does the report contain other observations and assessments that may have been of value to the committee?
mdp.39015039056646Dr. Carnesale, do you want to say something?
mdp.39015039056646Dr. Carnesale, would you answer that question?
mdp.39015039056646Dr. Houck and Dr. Carnesale, do you share his deep distrust of those procedures?
mdp.39015039056646Fifth, what should be done to strengthen the nonproliferation regime?
mdp.39015039056646Following up Mr. Hamilton's question, what impact do you believe the Baghdad incident will now have upon Iraqi- Soviet relations?
mdp.39015039056646For instance, does the Israeli attack represent a dangerous precedent with respect to resolving nuclear proliferation disputes?
mdp.39015039056646Fourth, was Israel"justified"in attacking the Iraqi facilities?
mdp.39015039056646Has any U.S. military equipment been delivered to Israel since June 7?
mdp.39015039056646Has such intelligence been shared?
mdp.39015039056646Has that report ever been brought to your attention?
mdp.39015039056646Have we any information on that?
mdp.39015039056646Have we taken a position on what we are going to do on the condemnation of Israel?
mdp.39015039056646Have you ever seen any others?
mdp.39015039056646How can we correct that?
mdp.39015039056646How do we know that these inspectors can really inspect?
mdp.39015039056646How do you know whether a violation occurred?
mdp.39015039056646How would you characterize its relationship to in- ternational terrorism?
mdp.39015039056646How would you characterize the human rights record of the Iraqi regime?
mdp.39015039056646I mean, your own notes?
mdp.39015039056646IRANIAN ATTACK ON IRAQI NUCLEAR REACTOR Am I correct in assuming that the Air Force of Iran attacked the same nuclear reactor some months ago?
mdp.39015039056646If I am correct, I would like to find out why in your view this double standard is being applied?
mdp.39015039056646If so, what do we mean by the word"hot,"and what are the implications of it?
mdp.39015039056646If the object was to allay a concern for the world that may in that sense deter an attack, why keep it secret?
mdp.39015039056646If you bomb a hot reactor, does that mean you let loose a lot of radiation?
mdp.39015039056646If you bomb a hot reactor, does that release a lot of radiation?
mdp.39015039056646If you have been able to examine the reports, how is this?
mdp.39015039056646In place?
mdp.39015039056646In this particular case the French technicians were absent from the site for a period of time after the bombing by Iran, is that not correct?
mdp.39015039056646Iraq's intentions What were Iraq's intentions with regard to the production of nuclear weapons?
mdp.39015039056646Is any other member of the panel familiar with that report?
mdp.39015039056646Is he here?
mdp.39015039056646Is it IAEA policy to avoid surprise inspections?
mdp.39015039056646Is it also true that Iraq, within the last year, in contravention of its treaty commitments to Iran, invaded that country?
mdp.39015039056646Is it also true that we consider Iraq to be a country which supports international terrorism?
mdp.39015039056646Is it your judgment on the basis of your under- standing that Iraq was pursuing a nuclear weapons capability?
mdp.39015039056646Is that correct, Mr. Spiers?
mdp.39015039056646Is that correct?
mdp.39015039056646Is that really what we are saying, all of us here?
mdp.39015039056646Is that true?
mdp.39015039056646Is there any country which presently has a reactor similar to the Osirak reactor where there is a more effective inspection regime in operation?
mdp.39015039056646It could have become hot without that fuel supply?
mdp.39015039056646It would have required that second fuel supply in order to become hot?
mdp.39015039056646Just what kinds of ramifications flow now from this?
mdp.39015039056646May I ask my question now, Mr. Chairman?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Boright?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Chairman, could I ask one additional question?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Chairman, may I ask a question of Dr. Carne- sale concerning his answer to you?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Houck, do you have a prepared state- ment or a statement to make?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Houck?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Markey?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Richter?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Richter?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Shamansky, do you have anything fur- ther?
mdp.39015039056646Mr. Solarz Is it also true that Iraq has never recognized Israels right to exist?
mdp.39015039056646Now, did France continue to supply enriched uranium after that refusal?
mdp.39015039056646Now, does the new administration have a different appreciation of what the Iraqis were up to than the Carter administration?
mdp.39015039056646Now, one might say:"Can we not extend it a little bit so it can do a little bit of that?"
mdp.39015039056646Now, the real question is, How strong should that concern be, and what could you have done to alleviate it?
mdp.39015039056646Once the reactor operated you had a totally different problem because then you were concerned with, what could they do with their reactor?
mdp.39015039056646One, to have an agreement to retain French inspectors to 1989, I believe it is; and yet not make it public?
mdp.39015039056646Or are we just going to let this thing drag along?
mdp.39015039056646Other than Israel?
mdp.39015039056646POSITION IN U.N. Mr. Stoessel, what can you tell us about the U.S. position at the U.N. right now?
mdp.39015039056646Right?
mdp.39015039056646Second, what were Iraq's capabilities with regard to the produc- tion of nuclear weapons?
mdp.39015039056646So you have not yet made a determination that nuclear powerplants are bomb factories?
mdp.39015039056646So, then, was the reactor designed to produce atomic bombs?
mdp.39015039056646Something like July or August 1980?
mdp.39015039056646Subsequently, after the inspections again took place, was more scheduled?
mdp.39015039056646That action was condemned to the best of your knowledge by the Government of the United Kingdon?
mdp.39015039056646That was my next question, how important is the element of surprise in the inspection process?
mdp.39015039056646The point here is can nuclear power be used for peaceful pur- poses?
mdp.39015039056646The question is, what did it say?
mdp.39015039056646The question of"How much is enough for deterrence?"
mdp.39015039056646The refusal came in the autumn?
mdp.39015039056646Then how can the Secretary of State say there may have been a substantial violation?
mdp.39015039056646Then, it is the practice of IAEA to avoid surprise inspections?
mdp.39015039056646To the best of your knowledge was that action condemned by the Government of France?
mdp.39015039056646Was it to give them the capacity to replace oil as a source of energy in their country?
mdp.39015039056646Was that action condemned by our Government?
mdp.39015039056646Was that action taken by the Government of Iraq, or was that action taken by the French authorities?
mdp.39015039056646Was that based to a very considerable extent on the presence of the French technicians, as distinct from the IAEA inspections?
mdp.39015039056646Was that report brought to your attention?
mdp.39015039056646Was the IAEA satisfied that there was no diversion or intent of diversion?
mdp.39015039056646Was the basis of that discussion because we had some concern about the direction in which that project was head- ing?
mdp.39015039056646Was your statement that you felt it was likely that such clandestine production would be detected, Dr. Carnesale?
mdp.39015039056646We might argue about how much, and with what likelihood, and over what time scale?
mdp.39015039056646Were there statements to indicate that by any of the leaders of the Iraqi Government?
mdp.39015039056646What are you going to do about the spread of nuclear weapons?
mdp.39015039056646What are you reading from?
mdp.39015039056646What could they do with those hot cells?
mdp.39015039056646What degree of intelligence- sharing has oc- curred between the United States and France with regard to the Iraqi nuclear program?
mdp.39015039056646What do the others do?
mdp.39015039056646What do you make of this statement in view of Iraq's clear commitment as an NPT party to forgo any nuclear weapons op- tions, Doctor?
mdp.39015039056646What do you think was the Iraqi purpose in going forward with this program?
mdp.39015039056646What do you think was the purpose?
mdp.39015039056646What does it mean with regard to the Soviet Union in the area?
mdp.39015039056646What facility?
mdp.39015039056646What facility?
mdp.39015039056646What happens to Mr. Sadat, who the papers say has been badly embarrassed as a result of all this?
mdp.39015039056646What happens to the United States in the Arab world, for example?
mdp.39015039056646What happens to the whole question of arms in the area?
mdp.39015039056646What is it, Mr. Houck, that makes you feel that what was perhaps adequate once is no longer?
mdp.39015039056646What kind of reaction have we had?
mdp.39015039056646What would you think about that?
mdp.39015039056646When did the Iraqi Government start on its nuclear program.?
mdp.39015039056646When was it going to go hot?
mdp.39015039056646When was that?
mdp.39015039056646When we need confidence, why not go in and look and search for suspected or conjectured activities?
mdp.39015039056646When you say substantial, who is going to say what is substantial?
mdp.39015039056646Where do you draw the line?
mdp.39015039056646Who are the key coun- tries here?
mdp.39015039056646Who is the director?
mdp.39015039056646Why is that not under the jurisdiction of the Agency, too?
mdp.39015039056646Why is that the only basis on which to go because the signatories do not want a real inspection?
mdp.39015039056646Why is the Italian equipment not under safeguards?
mdp.39015039056646Why not?
mdp.39015039056646Why should nations forego the acquisition of nuclear weapons?
mdp.39015039056646Why should nations forego the use of highly enriched uranium?

umn.31951p002508003Would he not do much the same as Selim Aga- would not he also strip us if he could? ”__ “ There is a little of that sort, indeed, sir,"replied he.
umn.31951p002508003Would he not fear that those who lay buried there might appear and do him harm?"

pst.000065527788Ambassador, why should we in Congress expect the next six months to be any different than it has been in the past?

pst.000065527788And is Iran the greatest threat to Iraqi security or is al Qaeda the greatest threat?

pst.000065527788And is the U.S. presence, and thus our massive resources in Iraq, hindering our ability to eradicate al Qaeda worldwide?

pst.000065527788Are we fixed yet?
pst.000065527788Are we merely beating a dead horse?

pst.000065527788Are we talking about a poten- tial genocide if we leave prematurely?

pst.000065527788At some point, you have to ask, is this the best way to keep the U.S. safe?

pst.000065527788I must ask: what ex- actly do you count, General Petraeus and Ambassador Crocker, as vio- lence in Iraq?
pst.000065527788If I might then, without- putting troops aside then, what other leverage do we have?
pst.000065527788If not, is your contention that Iraq will have a central government strong enough to handle security throughout the country?
pst.000065527788If so, what is the extent of our relationship with these groups?
pst.000065527788If so, what types of deaths do you include in calculating the number of Iraqi civilian deaths?
pst.000065527788If so, why do you expect the record of progress in the government of Iraq to be different in the future than in the past?

pst.000065527788Mr. Chairman, can you hear me now?
pst.000065527788Mr. Chairman, is there a written statement?
pst.000065527788Mr. Chairman, will there be a statement that we can read?
pst.000065527788Mr. Chairman?
pst.000065527788Mr. Chairman?
pst.000065527788Mr. Chairman?
pst.000065527788Mr. Crocker, I would like to know if you requested this delay, and if so, why?
pst.000065527788My question is just how long is the US occupation supposed to last?
pst.000065527788My question is while we wait for this to happen, how much more blood should we invest?
pst.000065527788Should the U.S. welcome such a development?
pst.000065527788So how much can he really go against Iran?
pst.000065527788So that is going on right now?
pst.000065527788So what kind of po- Iitical society is it going to be?
pst.000065527788Specifically, to what extent do you believe success in Anbar is transferable to the rest of Iraq?
pst.000065527788Syria's?
pst.000065527788That is good, but I remember Secretary Rumsfeld once wondering are we creating more terrorists than we are killing?
pst.000065527788The biggest question I have for you is, are we- as in this Congress- looking at the right things when we assess political progress?
pst.000065527788The question then is, what is the po- litical solution we are moving towards?
pst.000065527788The spe- cific question is, how many years do you anticipate U.S. troops will be in Iraq if you had Ambassador Crocker's crystal ball?
pst.000065527788Then how could you suggest that we leave after the sectarian violence stops?
pst.000065527788There is a concern that the country is becoming irreversibly Balkanized?
pst.000065527788This is because of the security situation?
pst.000065527788To what extent would Iran capitalize on a U.S. withdrawal from Iraq?
pst.000065527788Today's hearing must focus on answering fundamental questions: How do we achieve critical U.S. strategic objectives?
pst.000065527788Were you aware of the poll?
pst.000065527788What I want to know from you, is what is the price of failure in Iraq?
pst.000065527788What action are our allies in the region taking to strengthen and em- brace the new Iraqi government, namely Saudi Arabia?
pst.000065527788What are Iran's goals and strategy in Iraq?
pst.000065527788What could we be doing in these countries — And I ask the Ambassador the same question — in order to deter the influx?
pst.000065527788What do we do about the arms, the training, the money that comes from Iran and undermines our efforts?
pst.000065527788What efforts do you envision being necessary to ensure long term peace and security?
pst.000065527788What efforts do you envision being necessary to ensure long term peace and security?
pst.000065527788What else is effective?
pst.000065527788What impact has this shift in priority, had on the training of Iraqi forces and the plans to transition to security responsibility to the Iraqis?
pst.000065527788What impact, if any, will such “ bottom up ” developments in Anbar have on the national government?
pst.000065527788What implications does this have for the way in which politi- cal reconciliation may occur?
pst.000065527788What is Iran's strategy in Iraq?
pst.000065527788What is the likelihood that things will change dramatically?
pst.000065527788What is the political solution that we are working to- ward where the conditions are in place that we can begin to end our occupation?
pst.000065527788What is the trajectory – is Iraq, on the whole, moving in the right direction?
pst.000065527788What is your assessment of the likeli- hood of success in this endeavor?
pst.000065527788What is your assessment of this situation?
pst.000065527788What methods or key factors would need to be in place in order to ensure such positive developments in other areas throughout Iraq?
pst.000065527788What mis- conceptions do al- Qaeda operatives have?
pst.000065527788What misconceptions do the Iraqi political leadership hold?
pst.000065527788What policies will help us defend and advance our Nation's security interests?
pst.000065527788What should be the role of the United States, if any, if Iraq breaks apart into separate nations of Kurds, Sunni and Shia?
pst.000065527788What we can do to encourage our part- ners to live up to their promises so that we can expedite the rebuilding of Iraq?
pst.000065527788What we have done is applaud when they have asked if 41 Where is the Sergeant at Arms?
pst.000065527788What will happen if the United States leaves before the job is done?
pst.000065527788Where are you?
pst.000065527788Wherehow do you respond to the criticism or the assumption that they would move faster if we had a more precipitous withdrawal or drawdown?
pst.000065527788Who is speaking?
pst.000065527788Why are we now repeating the short- sighted patterns of the past?
pst.000065527788Why are we now repeating the shortsighted patterns of the past?
pst.000065527788Why do you suppose this videotape addressed to the American Peo- ple consists of an argument to end the war in Iraq and Afghanistan?
pst.000065527788Will be we saying the same thing three years later?
pst.000065527788Will somebody find the Ambassador please?
pst.000065527788Will the witnesses resume their seats?
pst.000065527788Will there be political progress in the near term?
pst.000065527788With that in mind, what will victory look like, and what conditions will prevail before we know that victory has been achieved?
pst.000065527788Would somebody please fix the microphone?
pst.000065527788Would you be so kind and comment on this intermediate course?
pst.000065527788Would you care to talk a little bit about the Army and is it broken?
pst.000065527788You have asked a great question about which is the biggest threat, if you will?
pst.000065527788would you assess the level of Iranian influence in Iraq?
pst.000065527788• Do you believe that that power vacuum will be filled by Iran?
pst.000065527788• With that in mind, what will victory look like, and what conditions will prevail before we know that victory has been achieved?
pur1.3275407468818984 I ask Secretary Kissinger: You mentioned if not now, why not now?
pur1.32754074688189Ambassador, that the United States'national se- curity interests are better protected through the use of these so- called coalitions of the willing?
pur1.32754074688189And ancillary to that, are you unalterably op- posed, is the President unalterably opposed, to a two- step process?
pur1.32754074688189And to the extent that a country is surrounded by nations acquiescing to or helping terrorism explic- 68 tion to us and can be brought along?
pur1.32754074688189And what exactly will they decline to support without risking their entire relationship to the United States?
pur1.32754074688189Are they there?
pur1.32754074688189Are we falling short, perhaps woefully short, in Afghanistan?
pur1.32754074688189Are we going to have to make any commitments to the Turks that the Kurds are n't going to know about?
pur1.32754074688189Are we moving in the right direction with such changes to the resolution?
pur1.32754074688189Are we prepared to go to war to make sure they comply with U.N. resolutions on illicit trade outside the oil- for- food program?
pur1.32754074688189Are we proposing to do that?
pur1.32754074688189Are you talking to me?
pur1.32754074688189But is there any plan?
pur1.32754074688189But we have to reason this through, do we not?
pur1.32754074688189But what I'm asking you really is, is n't the new authority an inevitability if they, in fact, give you this regime?
pur1.32754074688189But what are the elements of a plan for a post- war Iraq?
pur1.32754074688189But when have we ever launched a war against another country on this basis?
pur1.32754074688189But when many states threaten each other for incon- gruent purposes, who is to do the deterring, and in the face of what provocation?
pur1.32754074688189But whose is it?
pur1.32754074688189By what reasoning can the world community — or America — acquiesce in this state of affairs?
pur1.32754074688189Can Iraq be disarmed without the use of force?
pur1.32754074688189Can we shift substantial resources to the Iraqi theater without compromising the war on terrorism in many other areas?
pur1.32754074688189Can you talk about that?
pur1.32754074688189Can you talk to us about that?
pur1.32754074688189Compliance with those resolu- tions?
pur1.32754074688189Could I hear from Secretary Albright on these points?
pur1.32754074688189Did that pass?
pur1.32754074688189Did this committee have a role, or was it bypassed like this committee is being bypassed today?
pur1.32754074688189Did you want to respond, Mr. McFarlane?
pur1.32754074688189Do n't you have to exhaust that possibility?
pur1.32754074688189Do other nations have recourse to the same line of thinking?
pur1.32754074688189Do we go into Saudi Arabia or Egypt to help them out?
pur1.32754074688189Do we have any idea what we plan to do in Iraq after we win the war?
pur1.32754074688189Do we have any sense —— I'm not suggesting you should know, but do we have any sense whether or not if Saddam were gone, they'd come back?
pur1.32754074688189Do we have the problem and opportunity of 600,000- 700,000 people moving back across the border, and all that that entails, good and bad?
pur1.32754074688189Do we know enough about where WMD sites are to be confident in our ability to secure them?
pur1.32754074688189Do you feel, am I accurate on that point?
pur1.32754074688189Do you have any comment about any of the above?
pur1.32754074688189Do you have any further comment?
pur1.32754074688189Do you think there are some major differences here in terms of all of the consequences?
pur1.32754074688189Do you think we are paying adequate atten- tion to the question of reconstruction in Afghanistan?
pur1.32754074688189Do you want that authority?
pur1.32754074688189Does that tell us something?
pur1.32754074688189For a very broad resolution where we would give the authority to the President to go to war for so much more than that, prior to that even happening?
pur1.32754074688189For each of the following conditions, please say if you favor or op- pose invading How about if the United Nations supported invading?
pur1.32754074688189For example, what is the likelihood that Iraq would use its weapons of mass destruction against us, to deter us or to supply terrorists?
pur1.32754074688189From what to what, Senator?
pur1.32754074688189From where we stand now, the choice is this: will there be enforce- ment of the U.N. resolutions, or will these stockpiles continue to grow?
pur1.32754074688189Has King Abdullah's position shifted publicly on this?
pur1.32754074688189How about if the United States opposed invading?
pur1.32754074688189How about the United Nations?
pur1.32754074688189How do our allies around the world and our friends in the region see the problem?
pur1.32754074688189How do we stop the fragmentation of this box that Secretary Albright has talked about?
pur1.32754074688189How do you think that would play in terms of the objective we all seek, which is a more cooperative effort to deal with Saddam?
pur1.32754074688189How does re- gime change relate to the problems of weapons of mass destruc- tion?
pur1.32754074688189How far are we along the way with a plan?
pur1.32754074688189How long are we going to have to stay if we go?
pur1.32754074688189How much time are we operating on?
pur1.32754074688189How will it play?
pur1.32754074688189How would we begin to think through the situ- ation at the end of the war in the worst case scenario that we are there alone?
pur1.32754074688189I do n't think you had a turn, did you?
pur1.32754074688189I know my time is up, but I guess I did not get an answer to the question, what does happen, just for the sake of argument?
pur1.32754074688189I mean, that's — there's a list of U.N. resolutions, cor- rect?
pur1.32754074688189I want to ask, who prepared the preemptive doctrine here in this National Security Strategy?
pur1.32754074688189I'm not looking for an exit strategy in timing, but what is the end game?
pur1.32754074688189If not the United States, then who is going to disarm Saddam Hussein for his clear violations?
pur1.32754074688189If that's the case, are you aware of any sig- nificant planning for securing WMD sites in Iraq in the event of a military invasion?
pur1.32754074688189In other words, what are we — what is the end game here?
pur1.32754074688189Is it disarmament?
pur1.32754074688189Is it possible that it would involve disar- mament without regime change?
pur1.32754074688189Is it regime change?
pur1.32754074688189Is it return of Bahraini prisoners?
pur1.32754074688189Is it weapons of mass destruction?
pur1.32754074688189Is it when 124 there is a democratic government, or what is it?
pur1.32754074688189Is it your view the President should be authorized to take military action with re- spect to issues in the region, and not just with respect to Iraq?
pur1.32754074688189Is that about right?
pur1.32754074688189Is that at the point where there is a democratic government in place, or is it at a point prior to that?
pur1.32754074688189Is that correct?
pur1.32754074688189Is that correct?
pur1.32754074688189Is that correct?
pur1.32754074688189Is that the first priority or not?
pur1.32754074688189Is that to suggest there are other potential candidates lined up behind Iraq?
pur1.32754074688189Is the effort underway in Afghanistan for re- construction up to the standard that you think it should be?
pur1.32754074688189Is there a plan?
pur1.32754074688189Is this a Northern Alliance kind of an effort?
pur1.32754074688189Is this hyperbole?
pur1.32754074688189It reminds me of Ronald Reagan's statement about if not now, when?
pur1.32754074688189It says any action should be “ in accordance with the Constitution and relevant laws of the United States. ” Is that correct?
pur1.32754074688189Jordan, certainly King Abdullah has expressed concerns, and where do we go?
pur1.32754074688189May I just make one other point?
pur1.32754074688189May I make one final point?
pur1.32754074688189Mr. Chairman, can I indulge you for 30 seconds more?
pur1.32754074688189Mr. Chairman, could I ask Senator Allen, when he quoted whatever it was he quoted to Secretary Albright, what was he quoting from?
pur1.32754074688189Mr. Chairman, may I ask if Secretary Kissinger had any response to that, we would welcome his response?
pur1.32754074688189Mr. Secretary, do you need a break?
pur1.32754074688189My question to you, Mr. Chairman, and maybe you could give us some sense of this, what was the procedure in 1991 when that resolution was passed?
pur1.32754074688189Now, the debate really is, should we come back to the Security Council again for new authority, or should the authority be imbedded in one resolution?
pur1.32754074688189Now, why, therefore, do I think it would be important?
pur1.32754074688189Or are we going to have to make any commitments or lay down the law to the Kurds before we enlist the Turks?
pur1.32754074688189Or is it enforcement of U.N. resolutions?
pur1.32754074688189Or is it regime change?
pur1.32754074688189Or need it be one- step?
pur1.32754074688189Or to end Saddam Hussein's regime?
pur1.32754074688189Or to liberate Kuwaiti prisoners?
pur1.32754074688189Or to preempt the possi- bility he will use his weapons against us?
pur1.32754074688189Senator Sarbanes asked Dr. Kissinger, is there a path to peace?
pur1.32754074688189Senator?
pur1.32754074688189Senator?
pur1.32754074688189Sir?
pur1.32754074688189So if we do that, what is left?
pur1.32754074688189So they must do that or otherwise we're pre- pared to move against them?
pur1.32754074688189So what I'm trying to get at is, what are we signing the folks on for?
pur1.32754074688189So what do you think will be the long- term impact on U.S.-German relations if this anti- American election rhetoric continues?
pur1.32754074688189That if we have to, that we do it inter- nationally would make a huge difference or not?
pur1.32754074688189The United Nations, or United States?
pur1.32754074688189The issue is, how do we go about this?
pur1.32754074688189Then do n't we have to give that its opportunity to work?
pur1.32754074688189Then do we go into Jordan and help him out?
pur1.32754074688189Thus the question is, what are these places actually doing?
pur1.32754074688189To compel Iraq to destroy its illegal weapons of mass de- struction programs?
pur1.32754074688189To enforce the U.N. Security Council resolu- tions that Saddam has flaunted for more than a decade?
pur1.32754074688189Unilaterally do something about it?
pur1.32754074688189Unilaterally do something about it?
pur1.32754074688189We can now disengage ”?
pur1.32754074688189We will respond to any threat, and any President will act pre- emptively when he or she has to, but why declare a doctrine which is unnecessary?
pur1.32754074688189Well, I mean, are you telling me we're going to go to war because they have n't returned all the stolen property and accepted losses from the war?
pur1.32754074688189Well, because you think it might work or just as a matter of appearance?
pur1.32754074688189Well, that is a pretty fundamental question, is it not, whether we are going to go to war or not or whether there is a peaceful path?
pur1.32754074688189Well, what is that peaceful path?
pur1.32754074688189What about the reconstruction program in Afghanistan?
pur1.32754074688189What are Iraq's links to terrorist groups, including those responsible for the attacks of September 11, 2001?
pur1.32754074688189What are our possible responses?
pur1.32754074688189What are the regional consider- ations?
pur1.32754074688189What countries are most susceptible in the region to the angry outburst of the masses?
pur1.32754074688189What do you know about that?
pur1.32754074688189What do you think about the program of re- construction in Afghanistan?
pur1.32754074688189What do you think we should do about these four countries here?
pur1.32754074688189What is it?
pur1.32754074688189What is our objective?
pur1.32754074688189What is the goal that we have here?
pur1.32754074688189What is the likelihood that Iraq would use its weapons of mass destruction against us, to blackmail us or to supply to terrorists?
pur1.32754074688189What is the mission being proposed?
pur1.32754074688189What is the point at which we can, in good faith, say, “ We can now leave ”?
pur1.32754074688189What is the rationale for our action?
pur1.32754074688189What is the urgency?
pur1.32754074688189What is your analysis if it is done unilater- ally, American military action unilaterally?
pur1.32754074688189What is your analysis if it is done unilater- ally?
pur1.32754074688189What should be the proper call with regard to the tactics of fighting a war in Iraq if we have one?
pur1.32754074688189What should we be prepared for?
pur1.32754074688189What specifically should we do?
pur1.32754074688189What was your answer to his question?
pur1.32754074688189What would be our obligations to a post- Saddam Iraq militarily and economically?
pur1.32754074688189What would be our responsibilities the day after?
pur1.32754074688189What's your view of that?
pur1.32754074688189Where are they coming from?
pur1.32754074688189Where are they?
pur1.32754074688189Where does that document say we're going to launch a war against a country?
pur1.32754074688189Where was the locus for writing it, at the State Department?
pur1.32754074688189Which mission is it?
pur1.32754074688189Who's the author of this document?
pur1.32754074688189Who's working on something?
pur1.32754074688189Why are you listing all these things if the weapons is the thing?
pur1.32754074688189Why did n't we know about them before?
pur1.32754074688189Why did you word it this way?
pur1.32754074688189Why do we even need an additional resolution?
pur1.32754074688189Why do you say it is so clearly in the national interest?
pur1.32754074688189Why has — and I believe I am in- clined to believe it has, but why has the policy of containing Sad- dam failed?
pur1.32754074688189Why is it in the national interest?
pur1.32754074688189Will that not create a worse problem with the streets as time goes on?
pur1.32754074688189Would attacking Iraq risk precipitating the very thing we are trying to prevent: the use of weapons of mass destruction?
pur1.32754074688189Would it be fair to say the threat is lesser?
pur1.32754074688189Would it require a lot of our energy?
pur1.32754074688189Would it require a surge?
pur1.32754074688189Would we do that?
pur1.32754074688189Would you condition the President's ability to act on the premise that it not be unilateral?
pur1.32754074688189Would you oppose or favor if the United Nations supported invading Iraq?
pur1.32754074688189Would you say that again?
pur1.32754074688189Yes?
pur1.32754074688189You are both talking about a few months, are you not, as opposed to a few years?
pur1.32754074688189You do not know what the administration is doing, but Secretary Albright, what would you do?
pur1.32754074688189You do not think we should be doing more?
pur1.32754074688189You obviously have had to think through this a little bit as to some of the"what ifs. ” What if we get into a little more than we thought?
pur1.32754074688189You think at this point that our reconstruc- tion effort is adequate and meets the standard?
pur1.32754074688189“ Who would have imagined a world in which terror weapons are used as beauty aids? ” Kennedy wrote in a recent issue of the journal Science.
uc1.b5154993108 Has that ever been debated?
uc1.b5154993129 And Senator Biden, you asked: What will happen if we do not fix it, if we do nothing?
uc1.b5154993213 tons mean anything to our security, and if they do, what should our policy be?
uc1.b5154993Am I correct?
uc1.b5154993Ambassador?
uc1.b5154993And I think we all know the history of the Senate debates over what kind of commitment should the Nation be making?
uc1.b5154993And can we now create an instrument for the control of weapons of mass destruction?
uc1.b5154993And can we stand together and deal with this menace of chemical and biological weapons in Iraq and elsewhere?
uc1.b5154993And do we issue consequences if they do it?
uc1.b5154993And does the fault lie in the policy or in the implementation?
uc1.b5154993And should we be thinking about something that is different, allowing them to sell oil if they pay back Russia and France?
uc1.b5154993And similarly, how do we ensure that India and Pakistan 85 do not become the source of technology and know- how of future nu- clear powers?
uc1.b5154993And so how do we move to a place where we can affect what seem to be inevitable outcomes if we just sit by?
uc1.b5154993And so should we be thinking about something totally new?
uc1.b5154993And we sat there and what did we do?
uc1.b5154993And where did they fail?
uc1.b5154993And who does it?
uc1.b5154993Are these real stocks out of weapons that are being destroyed?
uc1.b5154993Are we going to keep the embargo on?
uc1.b5154993Are we sure that what we are not doing is, in fact, feeding their industry, you know, they make more CW and we destroy it?
uc1.b5154993Are you for a defense system or are you against it?
uc1.b5154993Ash?
uc1.b5154993But I can not imagine somebody 30 years from now not saying, You know, why the hell did not those guys figure this deal out?
uc1.b5154993But how can you provide Iraq with dual use items?
uc1.b5154993But how should we use those tools?
uc1.b5154993But let me ask you: Do you believe that Desert Storm was a credible military response?
uc1.b5154993But what is the likely success of this approach?
uc1.b5154993But what went wrong?
uc1.b5154993But, once again, by whom?
uc1.b5154993Can it get passed this year?
uc1.b5154993Can we complete the work that the end of the Cold War offers us as an opportunity?
uc1.b5154993Can we do that?
uc1.b5154993Can we do that?
uc1.b5154993Can we get our own nuclear arms control negotiations back on track?
uc1.b5154993Can you agree with us to accept weapons of mass destruction from politics as usual?
uc1.b5154993Can you do that?
uc1.b5154993Can you help us out?
uc1.b5154993Can you in fact affect proliferation and abandon arms control re- gimes that are international in scope or more than bilateral in scope?
uc1.b5154993Can you respond to that?
uc1.b5154993Do I want to do$ 30 billion front end for this new system, and then promise to do more, or do I want to say, why do we need it?
uc1.b5154993Do not do it?
uc1.b5154993Do they not under- stand the risks to themselves or do they believe that they are un- likely to be vulnerable for a variety of reasons?
uc1.b5154993Do we give it some standing by saying we think it means something, this new U.N. resolution?
uc1.b5154993Do we want non- nuclear weapons states to sign the so- called 93 plus 2 protocols allowing the IAEA to inspect non- designated sites?
uc1.b5154993Do you believe that the bombing campaign in Kosovo was credible?
uc1.b5154993Do you have a thought, Ambassador?
uc1.b5154993Do you have a view on that?
uc1.b5154993Do you think anybody believes that, though?
uc1.b5154993Does it make sense to continue the embargo?
uc1.b5154993Does it make sense?
uc1.b5154993Dr. Ganguly, do you have a comment on this question?
uc1.b5154993Dr. Lehman, do you have a thought about what we do in India?
uc1.b5154993For example, one of the questions raised, Mr. Chairman, is: What happens if he gets a deal?
uc1.b5154993Given this description of the changing strategic environment and its strategic con- sequences, what is to be done?
uc1.b5154993Has American and international diplomatic re- sponse to Iranian proliferation activities been adequate?
uc1.b5154993Has that ever been dis- cussed?
uc1.b5154993How can we fix it?
uc1.b5154993How can we get good men to resume focus on this very serious problem?
uc1.b5154993How can we improve our non- proliferation strategies and policies?
uc1.b5154993How do the Iranians look at how they May use ballistic missiles or what will deter them from further use?
uc1.b5154993How do these things fit in?
uc1.b5154993How do we think about each of these instances of proliferation?
uc1.b5154993How do you do that?
uc1.b5154993How do you respond to Mr. Cirincione?
uc1.b5154993How is this mediation or successful or constructive intervention by the rest of the world to occur?
uc1.b5154993How many ballistic missiles does somebody in North Korea have to develop before they think they have to use them?
uc1.b5154993How many do you need to have?
uc1.b5154993How much computer tech- nology or whatever else we have, is it useful to trade, given all that we know in the world?
uc1.b5154993How would you describe what you perceive to be the motivation of proliferators?
uc1.b5154993I am wondering, do you oppose the new inspection protocol that the United States signed with the IAEA?
uc1.b5154993I just pose the question as a student of this now for almost this 50-year period of the policy, who does the work?
uc1.b5154993I mean, I know these sound like bizarre notions, but can you talk about those two items for me?
uc1.b5154993I realize that is a very broad question, but maybe you could just — first of all, does it make sense?
uc1.b5154993I will not argue the policy — that we basically said to the Russians: You do not like it?
uc1.b5154993If not President Clinton, who?
uc1.b5154993If not the President of the United States or our country, how do we put this thing together?
uc1.b5154993If we could not sustain this approach with Iraq, what prospect do we have to sustain it with Iran?
uc1.b5154993In closing, what to do?
uc1.b5154993In fact, one Iraqi general at the time in a shocking, shocking statement said, “ Well, you have an insect problem, what do you do?
uc1.b5154993In other words, to what extent have our arms control or our re- gimes with regard to nonproliferation had applicability to this?
uc1.b5154993In other words, who provides the muscle or the credibility?
uc1.b5154993In short, does nonproliferation policy have a future in these countries?
uc1.b5154993Is it their self- interest relating to their eco- nomic interests?
uc1.b5154993Is there a way to get around this deal?
uc1.b5154993Is there any opportunity of rollback?
uc1.b5154993John, do you have a different view?
uc1.b5154993Let me just ask, though, why do we have problems?
uc1.b5154993Low estimate?
uc1.b5154993May I start?
uc1.b5154993Mr. Chairman, may I ask one more question?
uc1.b5154993Mr. Chairman, would you permit me two min- utes?
uc1.b5154993Now having said that, do we say, well, then, that is the way the world works?
uc1.b5154993Now, Senator Lugar, to your question: Why did it break down?
uc1.b5154993Now, how did it happen?
uc1.b5154993Now, how much leverage do we get from something like that?
uc1.b5154993Now, what does it mean for a place that you, and I think cor- rectly, have said is very dangerous?
uc1.b5154993One, do sanctions make any sense?
uc1.b5154993Or do we have any evidence he had intelligence that he knew that we were not going to pursue his forces throughout the country?
uc1.b5154993Or how do we stop this egregious violation?
uc1.b5154993Or its implementation?
uc1.b5154993Or should we be thinking in a whole new way?
uc1.b5154993Or were they not credible?
uc1.b5154993Professor?
uc1.b5154993STEPS TOWARDS A SOLUTION What are some possible measures that India and Pakistan could be urged to un- dertake?
uc1.b5154993Senator Biden, do you have any further questions?
uc1.b5154993Senator Biden?
uc1.b5154993Senator Biden?
uc1.b5154993Should we be thinking about a new circumstance where the na- tions, the power nations, of the world offer guarantees to these countries?
uc1.b5154993Should we do less?
uc1.b5154993Should we do more?
uc1.b5154993Should we get into it at all?
uc1.b5154993So here was a man — does that mean I have to stop?
uc1.b5154993So the kinds of questions you want to ask are, will the money go to the right folks to actually destroy these stocks?
uc1.b5154993So the question has to be asked, if you go down this road contin- ually believing there is a technological fix each time, where does it take us?
uc1.b5154993So what are the prospects for the future?
uc1.b5154993So what do they do?
uc1.b5154993So what do we need to do?
uc1.b5154993States capable of making nuclear weapons but who have eschewed 198ee, for example, Roger Molander and Robbie Nichols, Who Will Stop the Bomb?
uc1.b5154993Tell me, how the hell are you going to keep the subcontinent from being armed and dangerous and it is the most likely place there will be an exchange?
uc1.b5154993Tell us how the heck we get from here to there to end up with the construct that you envision?
uc1.b5154993That is, pushing them in a position, in a direction that seems to be totally counterintuitive to what their security interests are?
uc1.b5154993The question is what is the quality of the engagement, what are the carrots and the sticks?
uc1.b5154993The question is: What do you do about all of this?
uc1.b5154993The question that must be answers is whether this is the best course of action, or might another strategy have better prospects for success?
uc1.b5154993The war of the cities?
uc1.b5154993Then you go to the Indians and say, okay, the Pakistanis agree that the Indian no first use pledge is good, is it worth something?
uc1.b5154993There are some people who say 40,000 metric tons is a very low estimate of what is really out there in Russia?
uc1.b5154993WHO SEEKS MASS DESTRUCTION WEAPONS AND WHY?
uc1.b5154993Was it the policy?
uc1.b5154993What about large- scale economic incentives?
uc1.b5154993What ad- ditional steps must be taken in the future?
uc1.b5154993What advice would you have?
uc1.b5154993What are the sanctions today?
uc1.b5154993What are you talking about?
uc1.b5154993What do they do?
uc1.b5154993What do you think about that?
uc1.b5154993What does that say about how we, the U.S., which is the heart of your question, deal with that?
uc1.b5154993What is happening now on the fissile material cutoff?
uc1.b5154993What is special for UNSCOM?
uc1.b5154993What is the deterrence thought process that those people go through?
uc1.b5154993What is your sense of that?
uc1.b5154993What is your view as to whether we have any chance?
uc1.b5154993What is your view; that argument?
uc1.b5154993What made the system work?
uc1.b5154993What should be our policy or our set of policies?
uc1.b5154993What should we say to those regimes?
uc1.b5154993What steps must the United States and the international commu- nity now take to adjust nonproliferation policy to recent events on the ground?
uc1.b5154993What was the first point?
uc1.b5154993What was your first point with respect to India?
uc1.b5154993What will be the United States re- º What should be the response?
uc1.b5154993What would hap- pen if somehow the international community decided to have a presence in Pakistan?
uc1.b5154993Where did our efforts succeed?
uc1.b5154993Where do we put our kids in harm's way?
uc1.b5154993Where has it taken us?
uc1.b5154993Who does the heavy lifting in this sit- uation?
uc1.b5154993Why did North Korea come to that conclusion?
uc1.b5154993Why did North Korea sign the denuclearization agreement that prohibited pluto- nium separation and uranium enrichment on the whole Korean Pe- ninsula?
uc1.b5154993Why did he not use them?
uc1.b5154993Why did they agree to an IAEA safeguards agreement?
uc1.b5154993Why do I want to pay for that?
uc1.b5154993Why do people continue in this way, given the... ” to them, quite apart from the dangers to those around them?
uc1.b5154993Why do you guys think he did not use it?
uc1.b5154993Why do you keep talking about a credible mili- tary response then?
uc1.b5154993Why has that momentum been lost?
uc1.b5154993Why in that circumstance — I mean, is that a reasonable assump- tion that someone would have to think sitting there in the bunker?
uc1.b5154993Why is it more effective?
uc1.b5154993Why is this?
uc1.b5154993Why should we at our expense try to undo something that is this monumental?
uc1.b5154993Why would that work?
uc1.b5154993Would you be willing to expand in open session here, if it is appropriate, on that?
uc1.b5154993Would you refine that quickly?
uc1.b5154993You ask how do we get there from here?
uc1.b5154993You use insecticide. ” And then in the war of the cities, Iraq fired, what was it, Rolf, some 600 missiles, was it not?
uc1.b5154993to participate in the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction?
uc1.b5154993“ We know each other real well. ” Then, how come they have so many wars?

pst.000063517187How many people are we talking about in the context of the overall national police force, as it is?
pst.000063517187How many people have we been losing a month, on average, since the surge began, in terms of killed in action?
pst.000063517187How would you address that conundrum?

pst.000063517187I assume you're seeing a fairly healthy mix of Iranian weapons caches?

pst.000063517187I guess my question is, in assessing the benchmark, how did you define Iraqi security forces?
pst.000063517187I have not stepped back to look at the — and you've heard with other committees, in fact, I've certainly 210 to report on?
pst.000063517187I know we've been talking about this for a long, long time, but I wonder if you would, General, define for me who it is that our enemy is in Iraq?
pst.000063517187I mean, who are we trying to keep this information from, the American people?
pst.000063517187I point blank asked him,"Well could n't that transition occur sooner than that? ” He said, “ Yes.

pst.000063517187I'm asking the question, why are we not holding the Iraqi Government accountable for this?
pst.000063517187I'm just curious as to why somebody would question the same methodology if they show a drop?

pst.000063517187In other words, did we see any improvement in the government's performance once the surge started?
pst.000063517187In that regard, too, do the current British forces have a population protection mission?

pst.000063517187In writing your assessment of this benchmark, you said you lumped them together?

pst.000063517187In your view, based on those two meetings, are the Iranians responding to that diplomatic initiative that you commenced with them?
pst.000063517187Is it a 10 percent, 20 percent loss?

pst.000063517187Is there any consideration given to, or being given to, establishing a larger military presence, in the form of some sort of small base?
pst.000063517187Is there any evidence that the surge has improved the protection of the rights of minority members of the legislature?
pst.000063517187Is there effort being made to do it?
pst.000063517187Is this a fair statement that political rec- onciliation in Iraq is a key to reducing the sectarian violence?
pst.000063517187It's like the conduit to Baghdad, is n't it?
pst.000063517187It's very important for us to know and it's important for the American people to know, because the question is, can Iraq do it on their own?
pst.000063517187Knowing what's coming their way, how is mo- rale?
pst.000063517187Leverage that we can use?
pst.000063517187May I interrupt you for one moment?
pst.000063517187More detailed information is as follows: 272 ly n.o Recommendatioa ISF developmifferent priorities ignificant co?
pst.000063517187Most of them have n't been met, correct?
pst.000063517187Mr. Walker, does the change in DOD methodology prevent comparisons of the recent data against data from previous years?
pst.000063517187Mr. Walker, when was the change implemented?
pst.000063517187Mr. Walker, would you provide a copy of Figures 1 and 2 from the report revised to show the completion dates for each item shown as complete?
pst.000063517187Mr. Walker, you said, just to clarify one point of Senator Reed's that you do n't do the classification?
pst.000063517187My question for you, is it worth it to us?
pst.000063517187My question is, were you accurately quoted when you were quoted as saying that it might be a good thing if the Maliki Government falls?
pst.000063517187My time is just going out — General, if I could ask you, on your last chart that you have over here, this is the last chart?
pst.000063517187Now, I know you ca n't predict with certainty the num- bers we're going to have, but can you agree with this statement, General Petraeus?
pst.000063517187Now, are you reading from the classified?
pst.000063517187Now, we can affect things, but should n't we be a little bit modest in our assessment of our ability to drive events in Iraq?
pst.000063517187Now, your paycheck, I think, comes from Congress, is that right?
pst.000063517187Number one, did they supply the requisite number of troops?
pst.000063517187Of course we are prepared to fill the gap. ” Did you hear that comment?
pst.000063517187Of the ones that were not met, was any progress there or not?
pst.000063517187On what facts did you predicate the hope that you had?
pst.000063517187One of the issues that they have to think about is how do they execute?
pst.000063517187Or, alternatively stated, why do certain elements in your command- American units — have a population protection mission, and the British do n't?
pst.000063517187Or, in your opinion, do we have a realistic chance to be successful in this very important endeavor?

pst.000063517187Regardless of what's hap- pening on the ground?
pst.000063517187Senator BILL NELSON.—after the summer?
pst.000063517187Senator Chambliss?
pst.000063517187Senator Sessions?
pst.000063517187Senator Thune, let me ask you — have you voted?
pst.000063517187Senator Warner, are you going to adjourn the meeting or am I?
pst.000063517187Should we be doing more on the dip- lomatic front?
pst.000063517187Simply, do you think it's going to be a part of the fundamental factual basis of support for the new strategy?
pst.000063517187Sir, I have not- Senator BILL NELSON.—by the end of the year?
pst.000063517187Sir, could I clarify one point as well?
pst.000063517187Sixty to 70 troops every month,$ 9 billion to$ 12 billion every month — they're not doing what they need to do, when do we say, enough already?
pst.000063517187So now, looking down the road at your goal of 130,000 by the end of next summer, can you sustain that?
pst.000063517187So, Senator McCaskill?
pst.000063517187So, again, I think you have to ask where are we?
pst.000063517187So, given the resent strategy that you've adopted, how long, and at what max- imum strength, do you anticipate American forces being in Iraq?
pst.000063517187So, my direct question to you is — what about accountability for taking these hard steps?
pst.000063517187So, of the other 11 benchmarks, are you implying that there's been no progress at all?
pst.000063517187So, this can be and is being replicated through- out Iraq?
pst.000063517187So, you do n't have any information that would il- luminate the AP article about the doubling in the number of aver- age casualties?
pst.000063517187Some argue that that ethnic cleansing is al- ready taking place?
pst.000063517187Speaking of intelligence, this is when the local people give information of value to the American, or the Iraqi sol- diers?
pst.000063517187That the Iraqi Government is no further along on those benchmarks than they were a year ago?
pst.000063517187That was about 2 weeks ago, right?
pst.000063517187That would be more equitable in dealing with the people — would you agree?
pst.000063517187That's expressed in your classified annex to the reports we received?
pst.000063517187That's something that's urgently being pur- sued?
pst.000063517187The benchmarks originally proposed by the Iraqis themselves?
pst.000063517187The detention policy side?
pst.000063517187The real issue and question is, with the surge, are those conditions being created?
pst.000063517187The second question is, what was the level of readiness of those troops?
pst.000063517187Then the question, as you earlier dis- cussed this morning is, what is the definition of sectarian violence?
pst.000063517187There are a sig- nificant number of those units that are in the top category — can't say that?
pst.000063517187Was that required by the mandate?
pst.000063517187Well for the public record here, can you give an opinion about their ability to operate independently of the U.S.?
pst.000063517187Were you accurately quoted?
pst.000063517187Were you aware of that?
pst.000063517187What about consequences if they do n't?
pst.000063517187What are the consequences going to be for them not having been met?
pst.000063517187What are we going to do about it?
pst.000063517187What are your thoughts about that suggestion?
pst.000063517187What do you draw from this, in terms of how we're trying to fix the situa- tion in Iraq?
pst.000063517187What is your response to a proposal to a “ soft partition ” of Iraq?
pst.000063517187What should their role be?
pst.000063517187What were the dif- ferent standards of readiness that were used?
pst.000063517187What's holding this up?
pst.000063517187What's your reaction to that?
pst.000063517187Where's the sense of urgency?
pst.000063517187Whether those metrics are available to you?
pst.000063517187Who are we fighting?
pst.000063517187Who did the classification of Benchmark 13?
pst.000063517187Who do you work for, Mr. Walker?
pst.000063517187Who do you work for?
pst.000063517187Who is his boss?
pst.000063517187Who, in fact, does Gen- eral Petraeus work for?
pst.000063517187Why do you think Bin Laden's so worried about the outcome in Iraq?
pst.000063517187Why is it not obvious to the American people that we're exercising any of the l we have?
pst.000063517187Why is that?
pst.000063517187Why not let it just continue?
pst.000063517187Why not the progress?
pst.000063517187Within the scope of what we were asked to do?
pst.000063517187Would that be a yes?
pst.000063517187Would this be, would rival or exceed the magnitude of that sort of death by ethnic cleansing?
pst.000063517187Would you agree that there are three things that you need to look for, in connection with that?
pst.000063517187Would you agree with me, that when Congress really wants to do something, it will do it, and when it finds rea- sons not to, it wo n't?
pst.000063517187Would you agree with that?
pst.000063517187Would you agree with that?
pst.000063517187Would you comment on that with respect to your chart?
pst.000063517187Yet, you're still confident that these gains will stand up?
pst.000063517187You believe it's worth it, in terms of our national security interests, to pay that price?
pst.000063517187You did not evaluate the month of August, as far as violent trends, did you?
pst.000063517187You had a session when he visited your home?
pst.000063517187You join me in that request?
pst.000063517187You know that, do n't you?
pst.000063517187You put them together?
pst.000063517187Your conclusion from that?
pst.000063517187Your conclusion there was?
pst.000063517187İs that accurate?

uc1.31210012244107After you've introduced that, could I ask a question then?
uc1.31210012244107All the countries that I mentioned before?
uc1.31210012244107And during those meetings, did you or any repre- sentatives of your office ever tell the Under Secretary that he should not go forward with these?
uc1.31210012244107And has it ever been found or located?
uc1.31210012244107And he's now working in Egypt?
uc1.31210012244107And if he buys on a market at the market price you've shown and sells 50 percent to 75 percent more, he's got a pretty good profit, has n't he?
uc1.31210012244107And that's one that you recommended or that you support?
uc1.31210012244107And they ca n't veto, can they?
uc1.31210012244107And those people in turn did in fact contact the Department?
uc1.31210012244107And what was the date that that was sent to them and they received it?
uc1.31210012244107And why are you praising the Iraqis?
uc1.31210012244107And will you also monitor USDA's review in this regard and make sure that consideration of suspension and debar- ment occurs as soon as it's feasible?
uc1.31210012244107And you also found foreign content in what else?
uc1.31210012244107And you are currently conducting investigations with respect to the country of Iraq and export credit guarantees?
uc1.31210012244107And you do n't know what they were used for?
uc1.31210012244107And you're aware that certain of the GSM customers were asked to furnish, at no cost to the taxpayers, tractor- trailer trucks, are you not?
uc1.31210012244107Any other followup questions?
uc1.31210012244107Any questions at this point?
uc1.31210012244107Are there any problems with any of these suggested changes and reforms?
uc1.31210012244107Are you asking me that question?
uc1.31210012244107Are you aware of any concern by employees who signed the memo in regard to those countries?
uc1.31210012244107Are you familiar with that reform?
uc1.31210012244107Are you familiar with that?
uc1.31210012244107Are you saying it's only one company?

uc1.31210012244107But that did not reflect on the value of the loan guarantee in regard to any responsibility on the part of the CCC or the taxpayer?
uc1.31210012244107But you do n't have any explanation as to why you did n't know about this 1988 George Pope telex?
uc1.31210012244107But you were the one that recommended that it be$ 500 million?
uc1.31210012244107Can I address that, please, Congressman?
uc1.31210012244107Can I ask you a question while he's thinking about that answer?
uc1.31210012244107Can I respond?
uc1.31210012244107Can I stop you right there?
uc1.31210012244107Can you expand that a little bit?
uc1.31210012244107Can you stay for the entire hearing?
uc1.31210012244107Can you tell me the status of the administrative process?

uc1.31210012244107Could I ask a question?
uc1.31210012244107Could I interrupt you there?
uc1.31210012244107Could we go into that a little bit?
uc1.31210012244107Could you pull those two together or are they irrelevant to each other?
uc1.31210012244107Did OIG ask you not to proceed with debar- ment or suspension of anyone else?
uc1.31210012244107Did USDA, by this action, in your opinion, increase the risk for American taxpayers?
uc1.31210012244107Did you come up and talk to us?
uc1.31210012244107Did you find any other bank file for any other bank in any other country that was missing or could not be located?
uc1.31210012244107Did you tell the House Agriculture Committee anything about this visit?
uc1.31210012244107Do n't you have most of that within USDA'?
uc1.31210012244107Do we have Treasury and the Federal Reserve – Alan Green- span is sitting there telling us how much wheat to export?
uc1.31210012244107Do we have any record of that?
uc1.31210012244107Do you get approval from this interagency for- eign- policy type board before you make a commodity loan?
uc1.31210012244107Do you have a copy of it there?
uc1.31210012244107Do you have any knowledge that this was received by the Department?
uc1.31210012244107Do you have any procedures in place as to what you do if you have reason- able cause to believe that?
uc1.31210012244107Do you have re- ceipts for what that money was used for?
uc1.31210012244107Do you have records of Members of Congress con- tacting the Department?
uc1.31210012244107Do you recall who gave this memo to you?
uc1.31210012244107Does anybody want to answer my question about debarment or suspension?
uc1.31210012244107For whom?
uc1.31210012244107Furthermore, your audit did not reveal any wrongdoing by any employee of the USDA2 Is that cor- rect?
uc1.31210012244107Has the decision been made at the Justice Department that they're only going to go after the foreign people?
uc1.31210012244107Have there been any developments with respect to the credit guar- antees granted to the country of Iraq since that point in time, fall of 1989?

uc1.31210012244107Mr. Chairman, may I follow up on that?

uc1.31210012244107Mr. Roberts, any questions?
uc1.31210012244107My problem also is that after all this investigation and all these indictments, we've got one — who got indicted?
uc1.31210012244107My second ques- tion is what percentage of the guaranteed port value was repre- sented by shipping costs?
uc1.31210012244107No, what were the after- sales services that they requested?
uc1.31210012244107Nobody ever asked you to give this to them?
uc1.31210012244107Now, do we have a problem or not?
uc1.31210012244107Now, when we're talking about Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, are we talking about Canadian pulp or are we talking about United States pulp?
uc1.31210012244107OK?
uc1.31210012244107Only one company did after- sales services on sales to Iraq ” Is that what you're telling me?
uc1.31210012244107Only one company included freight costs?
uc1.31210012244107Pardon me?
uc1.31210012244107Pardon?
uc1.31210012244107Prior to the decision being made that we're talk- ing about here today?
uc1.31210012244107Second, with the allegation that our export pro- grams somehow aided the Iraqi war effort, do you believe that to be the case?
uc1.31210012244107Should the American taxpayer forgive the debt?
uc1.31210012244107Six months, a year, two years?
uc1.31210012244107So eventually you moved on your own, and you told the Iraqis no?
uc1.31210012244107So some were even from the producer to a Member of Congress, and they were supposed to contact the De- partment?
uc1.31210012244107So this document here is to- tally after the fact, not only for you now but also for the Inspector General?
uc1.31210012244107So what are you doing about suspension and disbar- ment of the North Carolina tobacco companies?
uc1.31210012244107So you ca n't say what use was made of those funds, can you?
uc1.31210012244107So you did ask on the 27th of September for a$ 1 bil- lion CCC credit?
uc1.31210012244107So you had already commenced something to in- vestigate when you received this document?
uc1.31210012244107So you mean in this report we will find also that perhaps under fur skins going to Korea and other places, there may be some foreign content in there?
uc1.31210012244107The Department of Defense was looking at it?
uc1.31210012244107The employee that wrote it was named who?
uc1.31210012244107The quoted average U.S. price, is this a market- quoted price average?
uc1.31210012244107They passed that information on to you, and you immediately took it to the authorities through this chain of command which has just been detailed?
uc1.31210012244107This document did n't trigger anything on your behalf?
uc1.31210012244107This is sort of an Iraqi cargo preference thing here?
uc1.31210012244107To the General Counsel?
uc1.31210012244107To your knowledge, were there any Members of Congress in this room when you were there?
uc1.31210012244107Type PRICE U.S. PRICE(*)( 1 less 2)( 3 divided by 2) 11427( 1) 08/22/87 DISSOLVING- SOFT W000$ 735.70$ 580$ 155.70 26.84 57231?
uc1.31210012244107Was it in December?
uc1.31210012244107Was n't this in 1988?
uc1.31210012244107Was not Egypt involved in the development of the Condor missile?
uc1.31210012244107Well, again, these after- sales services are given by the exporter to the recipient country, not by the Department of Ag- riculture?
uc1.31210012244107Well, do you attend the NAC meetings, Mr. Dickerson?
uc1.31210012244107Well, is n't that what Mr. Crowder told us was going on?
uc1.31210012244107Well, now I ’m going to ask you — I do n’t know if — Mr. Chairman?
uc1.31210012244107Well, why did you put it in this memo, Mr. Dickerson?
uc1.31210012244107Were they?
uc1.31210012244107Were we asked to find that out?
uc1.31210012244107Were you at any time asked to supply any infor- mation that you became acquainted with in that room to this com- mittee?
uc1.31210012244107Were you at any time requested by this committee to provide any information that you gleaned from those files in this big room in Atlanta?
uc1.31210012244107What about the big part of this that's in the United States?
uc1.31210012244107What about the war issue?
uc1.31210012244107What companies have been debarred or sus- pended?
uc1.31210012244107What did the eight employees who signed the memo- randum state?
uc1.31210012244107What do you do with it after it is forwarded to your office?
uc1.31210012244107What do you mean, Mr. Dickerson?
uc1.31210012244107What happens if you read this memorandum from these eight employees with the September 22, 1988, notice to ex- porters?
uc1.31210012244107What information do you need?
uc1.31210012244107What is our exposure or likely exposure from these transactions?
uc1.31210012244107What is the link between GSM programs, Iraqi military expenditures, and the Condor missile?
uc1.31210012244107What kind of pressure?
uc1.31210012244107What product it was on?
uc1.31210012244107What should we do about the$ 1.9 billion that has n’t been paid back yet?
uc1.31210012244107What was done with it, and why did n't you speak up or why did n't somebody from your office speak up?
uc1.31210012244107What was that request from Mexico?
uc1.31210012244107What was the date you obtained it?
uc1.31210012244107What was the highest percent of the guarantee that you discovered was shipping costs?
uc1.31210012244107What's the status of this matter so far as the administra- tive proceedings are concerned?
uc1.31210012244107What's your pleasure?
uc1.31210012244107When USDA offi- cials met with BNL officials, did you offer to come and testify or even inform any of us in Congress about this?
uc1.31210012244107When did you go to Baghdad and warn the Iraqis of this kind of practice?
uc1.31210012244107When do you anticipate that you'll be concluded with this and be prepared to tell us all about it?
uc1.31210012244107When do you hope to have these matters completed and be able to give us a further report?
uc1.31210012244107When do you plan to start any suspension or de- barment proceedings?
uc1.31210012244107When the National Advisory council on International Monetary and Financial Policies( NAc)?
uc1.31210012244107When they said that there was$ 36.5 million that appeared to the public to be new credit coverage, where did this money come from?
uc1.31210012244107When was the first time that you, the Office of Inspec- tor General, saw this September 22, 1988, memo?
uc1.31210012244107Where is Mr. Kunkel?
uc1.31210012244107Which decision?
uc1.31210012244107Who came to you?
uc1.31210012244107Who had their hands on it last?
uc1.31210012244107Whose?
uc1.31210012244107Why do n't you just go on and disbar them, Dick?
uc1.31210012244107Why is it in this report?
uc1.31210012244107Why must agriculture always be the one that has to pay?
uc1.31210012244107Why must agriculture always be the one that has to pay?
uc1.31210012244107Why must agriculture always be the one that has to pay?
uc1.31210012244107Why would n't these be included?
uc1.31210012244107Why?
uc1.31210012244107Will the gentleman yield?
uc1.31210012244107Will the gentleman yield?
uc1.31210012244107With the new world order here, should we not do this?
uc1.31210012244107Would the chairman yield at that point?
uc1.31210012244107Would you care to comment as to the purpose of the GSM program?
uc1.31210012244107Would you please make those available, too?
uc1.31210012244107Would you think that would be something that should be done?
uc1.31210012244107Would you yield?
uc1.31210012244107Would you?
uc1.31210012244107Yes, sir?
uc1.31210012244107You do n't condone bribes, do you, Dick?
uc1.31210012244107You gave that information because it's a violation of- which law is it, Charlie?
uc1.31210012244107You mean the exporters that wanted you to move?

pst.000063502961118 you've outlined is the best way of maximizing chances of success, however you define it, in Iraq?
pst.000063502961A lot of that was done since the last election took place, I assume?
pst.000063502961A million troops will not matter if the Iraqis do not change themselves, is that correct, Sec- retary Gates?
pst.000063502961Ambassador Ross, would you agree that we should maximize the chances of success in Iraq?
pst.000063502961Ambassador Ross?
pst.000063502961Ambassador Ross?
pst.000063502961Ambassador Ross?
pst.000063502961Ambassador Ross?
pst.000063502961Ambassador Ross?
pst.000063502961Ambassador?
pst.000063502961Ambassador?
pst.000063502961Are both of us out on that point?
pst.000063502961Are there any real con- ditions for staying in Iraq?
pst.000063502961Are there measuring devices?
pst.000063502961Are they allowed to go into all neighborhoods?
pst.000063502961At what point, if the sectarian violence does not abate, do we stop the flow of the new troops going in?
pst.000063502961But if they do not, if they do not put their actions behind their words, is there any point in us doing this surge?
pst.000063502961But the question is, what is the price if the Iraqis fail?
pst.000063502961But what about one that disapproved your mission or told you, you could not do certain things?
pst.000063502961But yet, you would still contemplate a withdrawal if this sectarian violence abates?
pst.000063502961But you are going to more of a 12-month mobilization with a 5- year demobilization period between the mobilizations; is that right?
pst.000063502961Can we assure the American people that this plan is a new direc- tion in Iraq, a new way forward?
pst.000063502961Can we mitigate against that?
pst.000063502961Can we succeed with the 21,000 or 22,000?
pst.000063502961Can you explain that?
pst.000063502961Can you give us some idea of how long it would take to know whether Iraq would enter into an oil agreement?
pst.000063502961Can you tell us how this program will be implemented?
pst.000063502961Can you tell us why it is they did not feel that additional forces would make the difference there?
pst.000063502961Consequences for the Iraqis?
pst.000063502961Could we switch back and forth now?
pst.000063502961Could you get us a copy of those?
pst.000063502961Could you let us know that, too?
pst.000063502961Could you provide a precise written record of which members or committees of Congress were consulted or noti- fied of the airstrike and when?
pst.000063502961Did General Petraeus provide input into the new strategy for the surge?
pst.000063502961Did the President authorize this action?
pst.000063502961Did you have a clarification?
pst.000063502961Do n't you think that the other agencies have to step up and we have to have a stronger unified effort in Iraq across the board?
pst.000063502961Do they believe their mission is directly related to the security of their own children and grandchildren?
pst.000063502961Do those comport with the kinds of benchmarks that you saw that Prime Minister Maliki gave to you?
pst.000063502961Do those two numbers strike you as accurate?
pst.000063502961Do we focus just on al Qaeda and on the borders and on the in- surgency and let the house burn down in Baghdad?
pst.000063502961Do you agree that it is somewhere in that amount?
pst.000063502961Do you agree with General Petraeus?
pst.000063502961Do you agree with that, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000063502961Do you agree with that, Secretary Gates?
pst.000063502961Do you agree with that?
pst.000063502961Do you agree, Dr. Perry?
pst.000063502961Do you believe that in our resolution we should add those benchmarks and consequences?
pst.000063502961Do you have a reaction to Maliki saying he wants no additional U.S. troops, if he said that?
pst.000063502961Do you have a reaction to it?
pst.000063502961Do you have copies?
pst.000063502961Do you have in your minds ideas framed about how to measure whether or not the Iraqis are making progress against the benchmarks?
pst.000063502961Do you know, General?
pst.000063502961Do you know?
pst.000063502961Do you share that concern?
pst.000063502961Do you think that authority was sufficient?
pst.000063502961Do you think that's a successful strategy?
pst.000063502961Do you understand the seriousness of that matter?
pst.000063502961Do you want to comment on that question?
pst.000063502961Does General Abizaid support the President's plan?
pst.000063502961Does it show that they can not meet what we want them to do and that they are not capable of taking on the responsi- bility themselves?
pst.000063502961Does that answer your question, sir?
pst.000063502961Does that make sense?
pst.000063502961Does the ISG have copies?
pst.000063502961Does the administration assert that the War Powers Resolution does not apply to this military action?
pst.000063502961Dr. Perry?
pst.000063502961Dr. Perry?
pst.000063502961Dr. Perry?
pst.000063502961Eighty percent of the casualties being suffered now, General Pace, are by IED explosions; is that correct?
pst.000063502961General Keane, do you agree with that?
pst.000063502961General Keane?
pst.000063502961General Keane?
pst.000063502961General Keane?
pst.000063502961General Pace, are we sending brave young Americans, 21,500 plus, for a lost cause?
pst.000063502961General Pace, do you have any additional com- ments?
pst.000063502961General Pace, for the U.S. units and advisors slated to embed with the Iraqi Army, will you increase the number of personnel proficient in Arabic?
pst.000063502961General Pace, is that your testimony as well, sir?
pst.000063502961General Pace, under what authority was the standing order that authorized the airstrike in Somalia promulgated?
pst.000063502961General Pace, was this order issued pursuant to the 2001 Authorization for the Use of Military Force, or under some other authority?
pst.000063502961General Pace, what are the metrics used to assess their per- formance?
pst.000063502961General Pace, why is it necessary to deploy Patriot missile bat- teries and an additional carrier strike group to the Persian Gulf at this time?
pst.000063502961General Pace, will you provide a copy of this order to the com- mittee?
pst.000063502961General Pace?
pst.000063502961General?
pst.000063502961General?
pst.000063502961General?
pst.000063502961General?
pst.000063502961Given that, was your advice to the President of the United States that 20,000 troops would be sufficient to conduct this oper- ation?
pst.000063502961Has it been, do you know?
pst.000063502961Has military tear gas — not pepper spray- been used anywhere in Iraq?
pst.000063502961Has the level of violence been reduced in the areas that have been cleared so that economic reconstruction and other things can be done?
pst.000063502961Have any of you heard that that is the case?
pst.000063502961Have you attached a specific time for the length of this surge?
pst.000063502961Have you read those reports?
pst.000063502961How avoid that?
pst.000063502961How can there be a new plan for Iraq if the President does not acknowledge the new reality on the ground in Iraq?
pst.000063502961How can we expect the government to function, let alone meet the benchmarks we want, if people are afraid to go to their jobs in the parliament?
pst.000063502961How do you match that assertion with what you've just said?
pst.000063502961How is this going go work?
pst.000063502961How long do you think it will take for the Prime Minister to be able to provide the level of security that the parliament will begin to show up again?
pst.000063502961How many American forces will be there after we finish this buildup?
pst.000063502961How many Iraqi forces will be there?
pst.000063502961How will that be ac- complished, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000063502961How will this policy reversal impact overall readiness of Active, Reserve, and National Guard units?
pst.000063502961How will we make judgments as this operation unfolds?
pst.000063502961How would you have felt?
pst.000063502961I guess what I am trying to find out is are there ways of measuring whether or not they are succeeding?
pst.000063502961I think the most important one is whether their forces show up?
pst.000063502961If not, can you let us know?
pst.000063502961If so, did he make any additional recommendations that were excluded from the new strategy?
pst.000063502961If they do n't, as an underlying premise, ev- erything else begins to topple, is that correct?
pst.000063502961If we are going to commit troops and soldiers and police to catch bad guys, do you know that we have to have a place to put them?
pst.000063502961If we can confirm him in 3 weeks, does he take over in 4 weeks?
pst.000063502961In addition to being"unfortunate ” and “ frustrating, ” is it also “ dangerous ” for our troops, unless there is unity of command?
pst.000063502961In other words, even five additional brigades would not help achieve either or both?
pst.000063502961In your opinion, can a po- Îitical solution succeed if there is not security in Baghdad?
pst.000063502961Is he ready to take over in 2 or 3 weeks?
pst.000063502961Is it fair to say that, in your judgment, adding additional troops is not the way to supply that additional pressure?
pst.000063502961Is it just a reassessment of our position?
pst.000063502961Is it that he does not like the timetable you are on?
pst.000063502961Is that accurate?
pst.000063502961Is that also your personal view?
pst.000063502961Is that correct, General Pace?
pst.000063502961Is that correct?
pst.000063502961Is that fair?
pst.000063502961Is that the reason they have n't reached a political accom- modation, in your judgment?
pst.000063502961Is that what we're going to have to do in Baghdad?
pst.000063502961Is that when this committee should visit with you and say it is or is not working?
pst.000063502961Is the reason they have not reached political settlement because of a lack of security in Bagh- dad?
pst.000063502961Is there a dramatic change as we shift into this plan from what we've been doing for several years?
pst.000063502961Is there a specific time attached to this addition of troops?
pst.000063502961Is there political interference?
pst.000063502961Is this enough?
pst.000063502961Is this our plan or is this the Iraqi plan?
pst.000063502961Is this plan that has been proposed here, does it call for increased performance from the other departments and agencies of this government?
pst.000063502961It would be two brigades, though, in each dis- trict?
pst.000063502961Let me ask it this way: is it your opinion today that the Iraqi leadership is 100 percent on board with this plan?
pst.000063502961Let me ask the other question: If the violence does not abate, will you commit more U.S. troops to Baghdad?
pst.000063502961Mr. Chairman, may I just offer something in response to your question?
pst.000063502961Mr. Secretary?
pst.000063502961Not to interrupt, but what would be grudging there?
pst.000063502961Now, on that chicken- and- egg problem, Ambas- sador Ross, is the lack of security in Baghdad the reason they have not reached a political settlement?
pst.000063502961Now, the argument the President made the other night is he has a new strategy, why not give it a chance?
pst.000063502961Now, the problem is, we've heard many of these promises before, and the critical question is, what's going to make it different this time?
pst.000063502961Now, they're dispersed and serving in a num- ber of areas in Iraq, correct?
pst.000063502961Now, what if they're not prepared to do that?
pst.000063502961Now, will they be able to create incidences other places that we are not?
pst.000063502961One is at the tactical level: Who's in control at the point of contact where the shooting's going on?
pst.000063502961One of the reasons people are making IEDs is they are being paid to do so; is that correct?
pst.000063502961Or are we out on that point?
pst.000063502961Second, if you determine in the near future that we need more troops, will you come back and ask for them?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates and General Pace, can you describe wheth- er any conditions or benchmarks have been set for the Iraqi government to meet?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates and General Pace, did General Petraeus rec- ommend against any of the tactics that are included in the new strategy?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates and General Pace, do the troops have suffi- cient armored vehicles, materials, training, and logistical support?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates and General Pace, what missions at the State level will be short- filled when these Guard and Reserve members are de- ployed?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates, are we seeing more of this type of traffic from Iran into Iraq recently, or are we keeping it under control?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates, does the administration's new strategy in- crease the risk of an escalation?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates, in specific terms, what is this administration prepared to do if Iraqi forces do not live up to your expectations — and when?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates, is there a nation that could contribute a sig- nificant number of troops to those we have in Iraq?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates, what specific strategies have you developed to protect our troops if it does escalate?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates, will there be a cap to the number of units asked to remobilize sooner than is standard?
pst.000063502961Secretary Gates?
pst.000063502961Should that be made explicit to them?
pst.000063502961Since the last election in Iraq?
pst.000063502961So I guess if the Iraqi government does not sup- port the surge, there is no point in doing it; is that fair to say?
pst.000063502961So I would ask you, either one of you, are we in a position to pro- he necessary equipment?
pst.000063502961So I would like to have you comment, what in fact is new about what we are attempting to accomplish now?
pst.000063502961So the design is to allow the Iraqis to take the lead immediately?
pst.000063502961So, for me, the most important measures, at this point are, what are the e signs that there is a genuine decision being made to act?
pst.000063502961So, now with this resolution, we in Congress are going to set the level of troops?
pst.000063502961So, one question is, can you forge a new national compact?
pst.000063502961So, what is the alternative?
pst.000063502961Such a breakdown would have grave consequences for the people of Iraq, stability in the region, and U.S. strategic interests. ” Dr. Perry?
pst.000063502961That's your own conclusion and the ISG's conclusion?
pst.000063502961The Iraqis say,"No, we should go here, ” and the Americans say, “ No, to get this target, we have to go there. ” Who resolves that dispute?
pst.000063502961The Middle Ěast and the entire world would be threatened by a new terrorist base of operations. ” Do you agree with Negroponte and Hayden?
pst.000063502961The Presi- dent has, in general, described them but why ca n't we get a copy of them?
pst.000063502961The other question I guess I would ask is, do you think that the number of troops that we are putting in there is adequate?
pst.000063502961The question is, do they want to share power?
pst.000063502961To General Pace — and this is very important to me — reenlistment rates are high among those who have served in Iraq, is that correct?
pst.000063502961Under what au- thority were the air strikes in Somalia executed?
pst.000063502961Very comparable?
pst.000063502961Was that at the direction of the Secretary of De- fense and with some guidance?
pst.000063502961Was that ever a consideration?
pst.000063502961Was that the unanimous view of the Joint Chiefs of Staff?
pst.000063502961Was there any consultation with or notification in Congress regarding the decision to take mili- tary action against suspected terrorists in Somalia?
pst.000063502961We said, “ Why not give that a chance? ” So there are two different strategies being considered here.
pst.000063502961We should change it. ” Can you amplify on your statement, “ new team who believe, ” in contrast to those two officers and their per- formance?
pst.000063502961What about the basic ones?
pst.000063502961What are the consequences if they do n't meet them?
pst.000063502961What are the necessary conditions to have tac- tical, operational, and strategic success for a military operation?
pst.000063502961What authority did he have?
pst.000063502961What criteria will be used to select these units?
pst.000063502961What did he base his authority on?
pst.000063502961What do you mean by that?
pst.000063502961What does Prime Minister Maliki believe the consequences to be if he fails to deliver?
pst.000063502961What does happen?
pst.000063502961What happens to your theory that they simply will not step up and deliver?
pst.000063502961What is currently being done and what more can be done to halt or reduce that support?
pst.000063502961What is the force protec- tion plan for units operating under these conditions?
pst.000063502961What is the price if Prime Minister Maliki can not meet the three things that you talked about?
pst.000063502961What is “ taking the lead? ” In training, what is “ taking the point ”?
pst.000063502961What is “ taking the lead? ” In training, what is “ taking the point ”?
pst.000063502961What would be tepid there?
pst.000063502961What would be the humanitarian consequences?
pst.000063502961What would be unmistakable?
pst.000063502961What would that direction be?
pst.000063502961What would that go up to under your an- nouncement?
pst.000063502961What would they be?
pst.000063502961What would you look at as an un- mistakable effort on the part of the Prime Minister to protect his people?
pst.000063502961What's your comment on that?
pst.000063502961When is General Petraeus going to be taking over?
pst.000063502961When you're moving in on a mission, is it the Iraqis out on the point who are the first in the field of fire and we're in the support role?
pst.000063502961Which is it?
pst.000063502961Who are the proper members?
pst.000063502961Who re- solves the dispute?
pst.000063502961Why ca n't the Iraqis take that part of the operation and we simply be there, embedded to work on, maybe, plans and tactics and to supply them?
pst.000063502961Why do n't the members of this committee see if we can come forward with a resolution that does set benchmarks for the Iraqis?
pst.000063502961Why is that so?
pst.000063502961Will additional equipment be sent to Iraq to meet the needs of additional troops?
pst.000063502961Will it come if there is n't a set of consequences?
pst.000063502961Will our forces cross the border into Iran?
pst.000063502961Will there be a cap on the number of units that you will be looking for to remobilize?
pst.000063502961Will they, in fact, provide equal protection for Sunnis, as well as Shias?
pst.000063502961Would that be part of the idea of a new way forward?
pst.000063502961Would you agree that increasing the military presence by adding troops is not the way to maximize chances of success?
pst.000063502961Would you comment on that, please?
pst.000063502961Would you describe how we've been operating thus far as we work with Iraqi forces?
pst.000063502961Would you say that the plan that you've outlined is the best way of maximizing the chances of U.S. security being increased?
pst.000063502961You are making the assumption that 22,000 troops are enough in Afghanistan?
pst.000063502961You can refresh my memory, but I believe your proposal with Mr. Kagan was a minimum of 30,000?
pst.000063502961You have been asked this question, but I am going to ask you very directly: Are we sending additional troops for a lost cause?
pst.000063502961You have seen the actual benchmarks the Iraqis have agreed to?
pst.000063502961You think it'll take 6 to 8 months to know whether their troops are going to show up?
hvd.32044080919566Ah Babylon, ” he cried,is this the way thou sendest forth thy rightful sovereign?
hvd.32044080919566Ah, my daughter, is that thee? hvd.32044080919566 Are they to marry, father? ” asked Heber.
hvd.32044080919566Art thou bound? ” she asked. hvd.32044080919566 Art thou the girl that changed the children?"
hvd.32044080919566Art thou then a true follower of this man? ” inquired Shemakin, surprised. hvd.32044080919566 Art thou to conduct me to the gardens? ” she asked the slave.
hvd.32044080919566By what authority?
hvd.32044080919566Come,urged Nabonidos,"what sayest thou?"
hvd.32044080919566Did I not give my babe that he might live? ” “ Thou?
hvd.32044080919566Did I not give my babe that he might live? ” “ Thou?
hvd.32044080919566Did ye not open the gate? ” he asked. hvd.32044080919566 Exists there such a man? ” asked Heber.
hvd.32044080919566Ha, fellow,he cried,"why lingerest thou here?
hvd.32044080919566Ha,said one, Belesis by name,"who is this I see coming?
hvd.32044080919566Has a few hours'imprisonment so cowed thy brave spirit as to destroy thy aspirations for royalty?
hvd.32044080919566Hast thou at last returned to thy father's arms? ”Yea, father, it is thy wayward boy again returned to claim thy love and forgiveness.
hvd.32044080919566Hast thou then not heard? hvd.32044080919566 Hence- forth I am one of thy tribe. ” “ Thy name, stranger?"
hvd.32044080919566How can I ever repay thee for thine act this night? ” said the soldier bending over her. hvd.32044080919566 How go matters at the palace?"
hvd.32044080919566How goes the practice?
hvd.32044080919566How happens it thou art here?
hvd.32044080919566How long since he left? ” Heber found the breath to ask. hvd.32044080919566 How long will it take the waters to reach my head? ” he asked himself.
hvd.32044080919566How went matters at the north?
hvd.32044080919566Iddin, canst thou forgive and forget the hasty words I spake unto thee when I found myself a prisoner? hvd.32044080919566 If I am not pardoned how speakest thou of freedom?"
hvd.32044080919566Is he here?
hvd.32044080919566Is it indeed Neboakhu who visits me?
hvd.32044080919566Is it not dangerous for thee to return?
hvd.32044080919566Is there any danger of missing thy way?
hvd.32044080919566Is thy colt fast?
hvd.32044080919566Know of him? ” she said. hvd.32044080919566 May I not have the pleasure of a word with thy daughter? ”.
hvd.32044080919566Nay, father, I am here seeking men to join Prince Shesh- bazzar in his attempt to win the throne. ” “ Sheshbazzar? ” exclaimed Nehum. hvd.32044080919566 O Ruth, is it thee? ” he asked as he recognized her.
hvd.32044080919566Orma, my love, what aileth thee? ” he asked. hvd.32044080919566 Queen Nitocris?
hvd.32044080919566Thou art right; but what is it thou hast to say?
hvd.32044080919566Thou sawest the captain taken prisoner?
hvd.32044080919566Tirmar, ” he asked,shalt thou go with us?"
hvd.32044080919566Well Nergalmakin, what news bringest thou?
hvd.32044080919566Well sir, which is it; life or death? hvd.32044080919566 Well, ” said Vulmaran rather testily,"what bringeth thee here at such an hour? ”.
hvd.32044080919566Were many killed?
hvd.32044080919566What can I do, Iddin? hvd.32044080919566 What can I do?"
hvd.32044080919566What do I mean? ” thundered the king. hvd.32044080919566 What fight is that?"
hvd.32044080919566What have I to fear? hvd.32044080919566 What is that I hear in the pipe?"
hvd.32044080919566What matters it, O King, if an old man, the weight of whose years has already turned his brain, crosses thee? ” he said. hvd.32044080919566 What meanest these words from my king?"
hvd.32044080919566What meanest thou? ”. hvd.32044080919566 What news bringest thou?"
hvd.32044080919566What news, Iddin? ” inquired the prince. hvd.32044080919566 What news, friend? ” asked Josedek.
hvd.32044080919566What services shalt thou have at Iddin's burial? ” asked the prince a moment later. hvd.32044080919566 What, afraid of thy lover? ” he said stepping toward her.
hvd.32044080919566What, still defiant? ” he asked laughing. hvd.32044080919566 When am I to suffer the death? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566Where are the Winged Lions? ”Safe in the old palace by this time. ” “ Hast thou been there to see?"
hvd.32044080919566Where are the Winged Lions? ”Safe in the old palace by this time. ” “ Hast thou been there to see?"
hvd.32044080919566Where has he been these many months? ” asked the third member of the group. hvd.32044080919566 Who are thou come here upon such an errand?"
hvd.32044080919566Who can blame thee? hvd.32044080919566 Who can say this Jehovah of mine is for Jews alone? ” he cried.
hvd.32044080919566Who comes here? ” he asked. hvd.32044080919566 Whom sentest thou? ”"My Jewish servant, Heber,"was the reply.
hvd.32044080919566Why brother, what has happened?
hvd.32044080919566Why callest thou me by that name?
hvd.32044080919566Why expose thyself to such danger?
hvd.32044080919566Why father,exclaimed the youth,"what is the cause of thine anxiety?"
hvd.32044080919566Why for the love of Babylon? ” “ Because, sir, I can tell thee of something affecting the very life of the city. ”Speak at once."
hvd.32044080919566Why? ” asked several at once. hvd.32044080919566 Will the pit beneath hold all the water that the chamber contains? ” “ It will, ” replied the spy.
hvd.32044080919566Wilt thou accept recruits from among my people?
hvd.32044080919566Wilt thou give me command over all, includ- ing thyself, for the next few moments? ”. hvd.32044080919566 Wilt thou not be in danger as a result of thine act? ” asked the queen.
hvd.32044080919566Wouldst thou support this man were he to assert his claims and seek to win his inheritance?
hvd.32044080919566*"Whom have we here? ” asked an old man, whose position on a raised dais denoted him the leader of the company.
hvd.32044080919566248 RHESA"Ah, my lady, is it chance that gives me the long sought opportunity of meeting thee? ” he asked suavely.
hvd.32044080919566258 RHESA"Where is Tirmar thy wife? ” he asked simply.
hvd.3204408091956676 RHESA What could this mean?
hvd.32044080919566All?
hvd.32044080919566Am I false to my God in feeling affection for an idolater?"
hvd.32044080919566And that is? ” “ The God of the Jews. ” There was silence.
hvd.32044080919566Art thou here in thy patron's service?"
hvd.32044080919566Art thou not in danger?"
hvd.32044080919566Art thou willing to become thy people's leader; to rescue thy kinsmen from bondage and lead them back to Mount Zion? ” She paused expectantly.
hvd.32044080919566As Neriglissar turned to depart his venomous eye fell on me, “'Ha, Kuri, hast thou escaped our vengeance?
hvd.32044080919566At length as a last resort, Orma suddenly asked:"Heber, hast thou seen Tirmar? ”"I have, ” he answered defiantly.
hvd.32044080919566At length he raised his head and asked:"Where is this Sheshbazzar of whom thou spake? ” “ I know not, ” replied Heber.
hvd.32044080919566At what time did Heber reach Borsippa? ” “ The sun was more than two hours high, ” replied Belibus.
hvd.32044080919566Before I settle this matter, Heber, tell me: Canst thou offer an excuse for thy conduct? ” Heber was silent, his head bowed.
hvd.32044080919566Believest thou that the Jews themselves thought of rebellion?
hvd.32044080919566But dost thou know of him?"
hvd.32044080919566But what brings thee here at this time?
hvd.32044080919566Can he not join us here? ” he con- tinued.
hvd.32044080919566Can we not plan for our prince and enlist men to carry out our plans? ” said Halista.
hvd.32044080919566Can we not undo the door and let the captain out? ” This suggestion had not before entered Orma's mind.
hvd.32044080919566Canst thou give me shelter for the night?'"
hvd.32044080919566Canst thou meet me in the gardens by the reservoir immediately?
hvd.32044080919566Come, my sweet, what sayest thou? ” “ It can not be.
hvd.32044080919566Could he convince the people of his rights?
hvd.32044080919566Could it be possible?
hvd.32044080919566Could it be true?
hvd.32044080919566Did he offer any explanation? ” “ None, sir."
hvd.32044080919566Did not I more than anyone else win the throne for Nabonidos?
hvd.32044080919566Did not the father of Ulbar construct the room and arrange its machinery?"
hvd.32044080919566Do they wait to make my agony the more intense?
hvd.32044080919566Does he still take interest in such matters? ”.
hvd.32044080919566Dost thou know, Sheshbazzar, one of those prophets foretells my life and even names me Cyrus?
hvd.32044080919566Dost thou love? ” The prince, as he must now be called, started at the ques- tion; it was so unexpected.
hvd.32044080919566Dost thou re- member selling him a horse?"
hvd.32044080919566Dost thou understand? ”"Perfectly, ” answered Tirmar and the rest nodded.
hvd.32044080919566Far better would it have been to take the poorest mount in the caravan, for what judge of horseflesh, having once seen Saru, could ever forget him?
hvd.32044080919566Father, is it wrong for me to love him?
hvd.32044080919566Follow him to the end of the world if needs be and if thou findest him, wealth and honor shall be thine. ”"How looks the man and what is his name?"
hvd.32044080919566For the sum of ten talents he could learn the where- abouts of Sheshbazzar, but where could he find ten talents?
hvd.32044080919566HEBER'S QUEST 179"Oh, my Heber, ” she exclaimed,"hast thou come all this distance to seek me?"
hvd.32044080919566Had his friends really rescued him?
hvd.32044080919566Had not one pair of black eyes burned themselves into his very soul?
hvd.32044080919566Halista? ” “ So the ladies of the court have thought."
hvd.32044080919566Hast thou been since before midnight in covering so short a distance and mounted upon the fleetest horse in Babylon?"
hvd.32044080919566Hast thou ever heard of the man? ” During this speech Nabonidos had kept his eyes fastened upon the young man's face, studying it intently.
hvd.32044080919566Hast thou turned Jew? ”"I believe in the same God they worship. ” “ Then truly all things are coming to an end.
hvd.32044080919566Have I not also the power to lead thee into the light above?
hvd.32044080919566Have I not then the power to slay thee?
hvd.32044080919566He could not wine “ But why canst thou not give me the information here and now? ” asked the prince.
hvd.32044080919566He is daily becoming craftier, more cruel, and harder to please. ” “ And the young prince? ” asked the soldier.
hvd.32044080919566He loved her and she him; what else was needed?
hvd.32044080919566He only became thoughtful; troubled. ” “ Dost thou love him, dear one?"
hvd.32044080919566He passed around the mound nearly a half hour ago. ” “ Was he armed?"
hvd.32044080919566He therefore gives to thee as a resi- dence the palace of Vulmaran. ” “ The palace of Vulmaran?"
hvd.32044080919566He was taken prisoner by the soldiers but Bel- shazzar denies all knowledge of his capture. ” “ What is his name? ” asked the woman.
hvd.32044080919566He would have heard the officer who caught the falling hero, cry in his ear: “ Where is Sheshbazzar?"
hvd.32044080919566He, Nabomuran, king of Babylon?
hvd.32044080919566Her father, Josedek, has been called away from earth. ” “ Then Joshua is high priest? ” “ Ay, my son, and a noble man he is.
hvd.32044080919566Here? ” exclaimed the woman in tones of the deepest surprise.
hvd.32044080919566His eyes flashed and he leaped from the divan, crying: “ Who will follow Sheshbazzar?
hvd.32044080919566His old com- panion of the desert, the conqueror of Asia?
hvd.32044080919566How comes it thou art thus boldly traversing these streets in thy true character?
hvd.32044080919566How could he expect to win her love in three days?
hvd.32044080919566How could she explain her asking for him?
hvd.32044080919566How happened it the commander of the Winged Lions,"knew not how to ride the horse ”?
hvd.32044080919566How much easier would it have been for me to have left thee in their hands?
hvd.32044080919566However he leaves to others the opportunity of winning her. ”"Nergalshazzar for instance? ” said Belibus.."Why not?
hvd.32044080919566However he leaves to others the opportunity of winning her. ”"Nergalshazzar for instance? ” said Belibus.."Why not?
hvd.32044080919566I have been questioning one of the guards and therefore I know whereof I speak. ”"What is the officer's name?"
hvd.32044080919566I procured a dish of water and laying out a set of the prince's RHESA 379"Has anyone a question to ask of our witness? ” asked King Cyrus.
hvd.32044080919566I swear to love and honor thee. ” “ And these? ” she cried, pointing to the villa.
hvd.32044080919566I then have nothing to fear from Judea? ” “ I would no greater danger was near than a rising there.
hvd.32044080919566INTO THE DARK WATERS 301 “ With this force on guard, how was I able to enter so easily? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566If a man was working yonder amid the wine sacks why did he make no noise?
hvd.32044080919566If his first day of confinement passed thus slowly what would those to fol- low be?
hvd.32044080919566If his friends had really rescued him, why did they not unbind and unhoodwink him?
hvd.32044080919566If however, he was in the hands of friends, why was it necessary to still keep him in confinement?
hvd.32044080919566If then I plotted for mine own advancement, who would be a greater obstacle in my path than thyself?

hvd.32044080919566If we are defeated by the Persians what can Sheshbazzar do? ” “ Do? ” cried Iddin, “ Sheshbazzar can do anything, every- thing.
hvd.32044080919566If we are defeated by the Persians what can Sheshbazzar do? ” “ Do? ” cried Iddin, “ Sheshbazzar can do anything, every- thing.
hvd.32044080919566If, however, he was in the hands of friends, who might those friends be?
hvd.32044080919566Is he a prisoner? ” “ I fear so.
hvd.32044080919566Is he striving to gain his rights? ”"He has not announced himself publicly as yet but he was preparing to step forward when he was captured.
hvd.32044080919566Is not Vulmaran as able a con- spirator as Neriglissar or Nabonidos?
hvd.32044080919566Knowest thou not, there is a price upon thy head?
hvd.32044080919566My child, didst thou accept his love?"
hvd.32044080919566Nabomuran why am I hated by the people?"
hvd.32044080919566Nabonidos had known of his royal rights for years?
hvd.32044080919566Now thou hast penetrated my secret, Iddin, what art thou contemplat- ing?
hvd.32044080919566One more word, Belibus; who told thee of my name and rank and directed thee as to my route? ” “ Ulbar,"answered the soldier.
hvd.32044080919566Our own women have never tempted the captain, but thou thinkest the Jewess has won his well- guarded heart?"
hvd.32044080919566PRIEST AND BANKER 239"He is at last under arms and prepared to strike?

hvd.32044080919566Piece by piece the city shall become ours and then we can return to our native land. ” “ What shall we do with Babylon?
hvd.32044080919566See yonder clump of trees upon the water's edge?
hvd.32044080919566Shalt thou fight for yonder pretender or shalt thou take the part of another? ” “ That sir, no man shall know."
hvd.32044080919566Shalt thou put thy father's spies upon my track? ” “ Nay, sir,"replied Iddin soberly, “ I shall offer thee my poor services."
hvd.32044080919566Shalt thou seek his assist- ance?"
hvd.32044080919566She laid one hand affectionately upon his knee, as she asked: “ Father, is it wrong for me to pray for his deliverance?"
hvd.32044080919566Supposing however his tastes fall in that direction, what have I to do with so trivial a matter as a Jewess maiden's virtue?
hvd.32044080919566Tell me, did he bear himself well in thy service?"
hvd.32044080919566Tell me, how can I gain the love of my people? ” The king was plainly distressed.
hvd.32044080919566The Mede bowed solemnly as the Babylonian made his vow; then, before rising he asked:"Hast thou ever heard of this rescued babe before? ”.
hvd.32044080919566The door instantly opened a trifle and a voice inquired in a whisper:"Who comes? ”"Open to Tirmar,"was the answer.
hvd.32044080919566The emissary returned shortly reporting a considerable force in waiting"As many as three hundred? ” asked Heber.
hvd.32044080919566The men in the boat he judged to be Jews and what business had a company of armed Jews upon the river at this hour?
hvd.32044080919566The rest is easily accomplished. ”"What is the price Vulmaran places upon his services? ” in- quired the prisoner.
hvd.32044080919566Their value to our cause can not be esti- mated. ”"Can the chief priest also be considered? ” asked Orma, loath to obtrude her ideas upon them.
hvd.32044080919566Then there is Belibus and nearly all of his men. ” “ How camest thou by such information?"
hvd.32044080919566Then they set off toward the outer wall. ” “ Couldst thou follow them? ”"I think so. ” “ Then go and see what they do with their prisoner.
hvd.32044080919566Therefore Sheshbazzar must die; but who is Sheshbazzar and where does he reside?
hvd.32044080919566Think not, O Prince, the worm gnawing at thy vitals has no brothers?
hvd.32044080919566Thinkest thou if I had wished to betray thee I would have ridden to secure aid to rescue thee from thy captors?
hvd.32044080919566Thinkest thou thy treatment since has been such as to change my mind? ” “ I regret the violence, but I gave thee warning.
hvd.32044080919566This man must be found and his loyalty purchased. ” “ Ay, ” replied Iddin, “ gold will make him our best friend, but where is the gold?
hvd.32044080919566Thou Ulbar, art thou come to torment me in my suffering?"
hvd.32044080919566Thou hast an hundred men? ”"Precisely an hundred.
hvd.32044080919566Thou hast heard of a God called Jehovah?
hvd.32044080919566Thou rememberest the tale?
hvd.32044080919566Thou seest then, daughter, there is hope of his eyes being opened should he escape from his present difficulty. ” “ Joshua then has returned?".

hvd.32044080919566To change the subject he an- nounced the presence at the land stairs of a chariot to convey TO THE FRONT 317 “ What adventure hast thou had?"
hvd.32044080919566Was he dreaming or did he really hear the voice of his first born?
hvd.32044080919566Was it a Divine judgment that a descendant of the great Nebuchadnezzar should occupy the foul and lonely prison his grandsire's cunning had devised?
hvd.32044080919566Was not mine the hand that slew the crazy boy king?
hvd.32044080919566Were his friends seeking to rescue him?
hvd.32044080919566What could he say?
hvd.32044080919566What could she do alone?
hvd.32044080919566What could she say to him?
hvd.32044080919566What fate would be his if he were found in the queen's apartments?
hvd.32044080919566What had come upon her to call forth such heart- rending sobs as mingled with the old man's petitions?
hvd.32044080919566What have I received for my ser- vices?
hvd.32044080919566What hearest thou?
hvd.32044080919566What if he had been lured there for treacherous reasons?
hvd.32044080919566What if some harm has befallen him? ”"I have no fears for Nabomuran,"answered Belibus.
hvd.32044080919566What is it now, life or death? ” Heber hesitated but an instant.
hvd.32044080919566What is it, Iddin, art thou to marry? ” “ The change thou seest, father, means simply this.
hvd.32044080919566What is that?
hvd.32044080919566What is that? ” exclaimed the trumpeter.
hvd.32044080919566What meanest thou?
hvd.32044080919566What right or cause hast thou to suspect me?
hvd.32044080919566What woman but would like to be called beautiful by another whose own charms were praised in many lands?
hvd.32044080919566When, ah when?
hvd.32044080919566Where could he obtain such a sum?
hvd.32044080919566Where hast thou been and how hast thou escaped from the hands of the king? ”.
hvd.32044080919566Where is thy command?"
hvd.32044080919566Where then would be my security?".
hvd.32044080919566Where were the troops going?
hvd.32044080919566Wherein have I been treacherous to thee?
hvd.32044080919566Who will help wrest the throne from the usurper? ”.
hvd.32044080919566Who would not suspect the man who thus agreed to a scheme of betrayal? ”.
hvd.32044080919566Why does n't the water come?
hvd.32044080919566Why hast thou forsaken me?
hvd.32044080919566Why hast thou taken both my chil- dren from me?
hvd.32044080919566Why my son, has this now dispersed nation been selected to furnish the coming leader?
hvd.32044080919566Why should I not seek thy downfall if mine own chances of success were thereby heightened?
hvd.32044080919566Why should I wait until thou hadst six hundred men to fight for thee?
hvd.32044080919566Why should she not be?
hvd.32044080919566Why tarry here in idleness longer when we should be securing our position for viewing the great parade?
hvd.32044080919566Why wilt thou be perverse?
hvd.32044080919566Why wilt thou serve him longer? ” “ My son, what can I do?
hvd.32044080919566Why wilt thou serve him longer? ” “ My son, what can I do?
hvd.32044080919566Why,'tis said he could we d roy- alty, were his eyes only open. ” “ What?
hvd.32044080919566Wilt thou share a soldier's life and make it full of love and happiness?
hvd.32044080919566Wilt thou undertake it?
hvd.32044080919566With all the fair of Babylon to choose from, why should he seek a Jewess?
hvd.32044080919566Would any seek to avenge his A FRIEND IN NEED 147 death?
hvd.32044080919566Would he not fill a throne as acceptably as either of them?
hvd.32044080919566Would the army side with him or would they take the part of Nabonidos?
hvd.32044080919566Yet Heber, what return hast thou made unto me?
hvd.32044080919566Yet his venerable father whom he loved and revered had refused to acknowledge Belshazzar, and should he fear to follow in that noble man's footsteps?
hvd.32044080919566cried the girl,"what am I to do?"
hvd.32044080919566“ A Jew! ” cried the monarch angrily, “ thou entrustedst a mes- sage of thy king's to a Jewish servant?
hvd.32044080919566“ Ah, my pretty, is this the way to receive thy husband? ” he said smiling.
hvd.32044080919566“ And all Persia? ” queried the prince.
hvd.32044080919566“ And thou?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Are we ready for our attempt, my friends? ” Tirmar left the room, returning shortly a transformed per- son.
hvd.32044080919566“ Ay, he has been in the city for several days. ”"What tidings does he bring?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Borsippa? ” he cried,"who ordered it there? ” “ The king, sir,"was the reply.
hvd.32044080919566“ Borsippa? ” he cried,"who ordered it there? ” “ The king, sir,"was the reply.
hvd.32044080919566“ But suppose we do miss them? ” she continued anxiously.
hvd.32044080919566“ Come friends,"he said,"who will accompany me to my father's house and assist in the capture of this man? ” “ I will, ” said Tirmar.
hvd.32044080919566“ Did the soldier have aught further to say? ” he asked after a moment.
hvd.32044080919566“ Didst thou notice whither they carried him?
hvd.32044080919566“ Dost thou know, were it not for the sentence hanging over his head he would gladly be on thy side?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Dost thou still forbid my seeing thy daughter? ” “ Ah, that is a difficult question.
hvd.32044080919566“ Dost thou then accept my services? ” asked the young Jew eagerly.'
hvd.32044080919566“ For Judah? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ Former love?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Gladly, Heber. ” “ And mine?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Had the queen never suspected it?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Has he been found? ” she cried.
hvd.32044080919566“ Has he then announced him- self?
hvd.32044080919566“ Hast thou come to taunt me on the success of thy villainies? ”.
hvd.32044080919566“ Hast thou heard any disturbance? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ Hast thou then doubts as to thy ability to help us? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ Heber, my son, stayest thou here with us or wilt thou continue with thy kind master? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ Honorable? ” she said with a bitter laugh.
hvd.32044080919566“ How camest thou to discover my identity?"
hvd.32044080919566“ How goes it with the young prince? ” he asked tenderly.
hvd.32044080919566“ How many men are there we can rely upon? ” asked Hal- ista.
hvd.32044080919566“ How prosper matters? ” he asked almost in the same breath.
hvd.32044080919566“ I can not move the chain. ” “ What meanest that? ” exclaimed Vulmaran.
hvd.32044080919566“ I can tell thee where is one whose whereabouts thou wishest to know. ”"What meanest thou? ” asked the prince, starting.
hvd.32044080919566“ Iddin, art thou in earnest in this matter?
hvd.32044080919566“ Is all well? ” inquired the queen in a low tone.
hvd.32044080919566“ Is there a condition to my pardon?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Knowest thou what yonder villa is?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Let us hope,"he said, “ our troops opposing Cyrus will better obey their orders. ” “ They disobeyed?
hvd.32044080919566“ May I have a word with thee? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ My own, ” he whispered,"how has it gone with thee?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Noble sir, to whom am I indebted for this act?
hvd.32044080919566“ Oh my Father,"the old man cried,"Why has this afflic- tion been sent upon me?
hvd.32044080919566“ Oh, ho, is that thine answer? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ Shemakin, canst thou close the south gates while I go to the north? ” asked the prince.
hvd.32044080919566“ Tell me, ” he cried excitedly,"where is her prison?
hvd.32044080919566“ Then why was it necessary for Vulmaran to open them?"
hvd.32044080919566“ This line of horses has been bred in our tribe for generations. ” “ Hast thou ever sold any here? ” “ Many.
hvd.32044080919566“ Thou askest me what I mean?
hvd.32044080919566“ Thou bringest information of importance? ” asked the youth.
hvd.32044080919566“ Thou desirest to speak with me?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Thou wilt dine with me today?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Thou?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Thy lover, girl?
hvd.32044080919566“ To how many persons has this secret been known? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ To what cause can I attribute the honor of this visit? ” he asked haughtily.
hvd.32044080919566“ Unless what?"
hvd.32044080919566“ Was he mounted or on foot?"
hvd.32044080919566“ What am I to do?
hvd.32044080919566“ What brings all these horsemen here at this time?"
hvd.32044080919566“ What is that?"
hvd.32044080919566“ What it is, my dear? ” “ Suppose the deliverance of our people should come through the prince."
hvd.32044080919566“ What meanest thou? ” cried the exile, half rising.
hvd.32044080919566“ What orders have I failed to carry out?"
hvd.32044080919566“ What place is this? ” inquired the prince as the dwarf scrambled to his feet.
hvd.32044080919566“ What reason hast thou for such action?"
hvd.32044080919566“ What reward can we bestow upon thee for thy services? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ What sayest thou to the manner of worshiping Beltis, the wife of him thou callest Bel? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ What sentence?".
hvd.32044080919566“ What then did he say?".
hvd.32044080919566“ What then prompted thine action?".
hvd.32044080919566“ What voice is that?
hvd.32044080919566“ What was his other name? ” “ Kadasman, ” replied the youth.
hvd.32044080919566“ When will be the proper time for us to send for him? ” asked the practical queen.
hvd.32044080919566“ Where is the rest of the army? ” he asked.
hvd.32044080919566“ Who can say this proud city deservest not the doom God hath in store for her?
hvd.32044080919566“ Who is it seeks to mar the solitude of my cell? ” he de- manded.
hvd.32044080919566“ Who will betray me in that manner?
hvd.32044080919566“ Why art thou here? ” asked the woman after Orma had seated herself.

mdp.39015090306526I said, “ Did I say something wrong?'
mdp.39015090306526I was still waiting, so I asked the escort, “ Why did Mr. President sent for us?'

mdp.39015090306526Murray: Finally, the Iranians gave up?

mdp.39015090306526Murray: It strikes me that the Iranian strikes focused on Iraqi's command and control system?
mdp.39015090306526Murray: So you could identify where a convoy was and where it was moving via the radio traffic?
mdp.39015090306526Murray: So you moved to the German- style defense in depth?
mdp.39015090306526Murray: So you watched the 1991 war from the sidelines?
mdp.39015090306526Murray: So, from September 1980 to July 1981 the Soviets provided no supplies for your aircraft?
mdp.39015090306526Murray: Speaking of Hussein Kamel, why do you think he returned to Iraq after escaping to Jordon in 1995 and revealing all those secrets?

mdp.39015090306526Nathan: Were they more scared of Saddam's reaction than of the opposing troops?
mdp.39015090306526Of course, this was the result of the nature of the regime Saddam had created, a regime that rested on fear and intimidation.?
mdp.39015090306526One of the Tikriti officers asked me,'Do you believe all this?'
mdp.39015090306526One officer said, “ What if someone's name starts with the letter “ g, ” like Gamil?'

mdp.39015090306526Saddam Hussein asked the Kurdish sector commander, “ If the position is hit, where will you go?'
mdp.39015090306526Saddam achieved what he wanted through the professionals, but questioned where their loyalty lay: was it with him or with Iraq?
mdp.39015090306526Saddam asked, “ Why not?'
mdp.39015090306526Saddam asked, “ Why?'
mdp.39015090306526Saddam then asked, “ What do you do? ” I told him that I was an officer in the army and on vacation.
mdp.39015090306526Saddam would ask sadly,'If they can accept Adnan, why ca n't they accept me?'

pst.000065527542Al Qaeda continues to try to assert themselves in Mosul, is that correct?
pst.000065527542Also, the so- called Sons of Iraq program, in terms of its viability; is that still supporting our efforts?
pst.000065527542Am I correct?
pst.000065527542Ambassador Crocker?
pst.000065527542Ambassador, how do you answer it?

pst.000065527542Are the Iraqis actually evaluating what they did in Basrah, and do you think there's any prospects that they've learned from that?

pst.000065527542But 1,000 troops?
pst.000065527542But does this suggest that a signifi- ca nt event has occurred?
pst.000065527542But the question about going out to the Sunni community?
pst.000065527542But the question is: then what?
pst.000065527542But, could n't we be beginning that process of transitioning now?
pst.000065527542But, why is n't the Iraqi Gov- ernment paying for that?
pst.000065527542By the way, Dr. Malley, did you want to add anything?
pst.000065527542Can we sustain it?
pst.000065527542Can you comment on that?
pst.000065527542Can you comment to the committee about that?
pst.000065527542Can you now, just in simple language, tell us, yes, it is worth it?
pst.000065527542Can you then say we will start our reductions again then? ” He would not make a commitment.
pst.000065527542Certainly not an obscure sect of the Shiites, overall?

pst.000065527542Do we replace them at all?

pst.000065527542Do you still view AQI as a major threat?
pst.000065527542Do you think that we would contribute three combat brigades to the current NATO structure?
pst.000065527542Do you think we're standing in the way of them reconciling?
pst.000065527542Does anyone disagree with that?
pst.000065527542Does his government see itself as a national Gov- ernment of Iraq and is prepared to use military force to defend the concept of the country of Iraq?
pst.000065527542Does that answer your question, Senator?
pst.000065527542Does that ban extend to Hakim's Badr Corps and all other militias, as well as to the Mahdi Army?
pst.000065527542Does that mean you're not reasonable peo- ple?
pst.000065527542Does that translate into greater se- curity for those of us at home?
pst.000065527542Does the administration plan to submit this agreement to our Congress?
pst.000065527542Does the security situation hold with the withdrawal of those brigade com- bat teams?
pst.000065527542Dr. Bacevich, do you have a differing view on that tactical situation on the ground?
pst.000065527542Dr. Bacevich?
pst.000065527542Dr. Bacevich?
pst.000065527542Dr. Bacevich?
pst.000065527542Dr. Malley, your comments?
pst.000065527542Dr. Malley?
pst.000065527542Dr. Malley?
pst.000065527542Dr. Malley?
pst.000065527542During our meeting, you asked me,"With regard to counternarcotics, where does the buck stop?"
pst.000065527542Either one of you want to comment on what would happen if they were to fill that vacuum?
pst.000065527542Elabo- rate a little more?
pst.000065527542Everyone?
pst.000065527542Excuse me, sir?
pst.000065527542Finally, General Petraeus, Mosul continues to be a battle, is that correct?
pst.000065527542Finally, with regard to Iranian influence, how would you describe the situation in Basrah, in the south, in the Shiite community?
pst.000065527542General Keane, is it fair to say that the surge is corrective action being taken because of the past strategy failing?
pst.000065527542General Keane, was Prime Minister Maliki's move into Basrah ill- advised or ill- timed?
pst.000065527542General Keane?
pst.000065527542General Keane?
pst.000065527542General Keane?
pst.000065527542General Keane?
pst.000065527542General Keane?
pst.000065527542General Petraeus's open- ended approach or Secretary Gates's 153 brief pause?
pst.000065527542General Petraeus, again, news reports said that Prime Minister Maliki only informed you shortly before the operation, is that cor- rect?
pst.000065527542General Petraeus, do you believe that the Mahdi Army will vol- untarily disband and disarm at the request of the Prime Minister?
pst.000065527542General Petraeus, might the manned aircraft be good can- didates to provide to Iraqi forces for intelligence support?
pst.000065527542General Petraeus, will you begin?
pst.000065527542General, given your perception of the security conditions in Iraq, how long before you feel we will be able to meet the Army's desired dwell ratio?
pst.000065527542General, is that pretty much correct?
pst.000065527542General, you would not mean to say that anyone who would have a different opinion is, by definition, an unreason- able person?
pst.000065527542General?
pst.000065527542Has anyone suggested to you that we should take troops out of Iraq and send them to Waziristan?
pst.000065527542Has n't Congress given you ev- erything you've asked, and the military everything you've asked, for Iraq?
pst.000065527542Has the political reconciliation happened?
pst.000065527542He followed your advice, then?
pst.000065527542How are we going to deal with that, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000065527542How do you get contracts? ” This is all new for the Iraqis.
pst.000065527542How do you get money to the provinces?
pst.000065527542How does that affect the Afghanistan picture?
pst.000065527542How is that influenced by Iran, and to what ex- tent has Iran been strengthened or weakened as a result of this military action?
pst.000065527542How long is it going to take?
pst.000065527542How significant is that?
pst.000065527542How significant is what happened in Anbar vis- a- vis al Qaeda?
pst.000065527542How would you balance the stress on the Army against the mission we have in Iraq?
pst.000065527542How would you envision that?
pst.000065527542I even asked General Petraeus, yesterday, “ What if things go well?
pst.000065527542I mean, what is it that we're fighting over there?
pst.000065527542I particularly said, “ Could that be a month? ” He wo n't answer.
pst.000065527542I said, “ What if things go well by the end of the year?
pst.000065527542If I could just ask one follow- on question, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000065527542If not military training, then a dialogue, money moving back and forth for other reasons?
pst.000065527542If not, what more can be done to help the Army get themselves back in balance?
pst.000065527542If the surge is working as some claim, then why not sustain it?
pst.000065527542If the surge is working, as some claim, then why not sustain it?
pst.000065527542If we have n't crossed the red line, when do you think we will?
pst.000065527542If you had to pick one thing to tell the American people that was the biggest success of the surge, what would it be?
pst.000065527542In Basrah?
pst.000065527542In fact, these are routinely done between the United States and allied countries where we may have forces sta- tioned?
pst.000065527542In terms of a loan?
pst.000065527542In your judgment was the Iraqi Gov- ernment operation in Basrah properly and carefully planned, and were the preparations adequate?
pst.000065527542In your opinion, how much longer can the surge be sustained before it does irreparable harm to the force?
pst.000065527542In your professional judgment, was the Iraqi Government operation in Basrah properly and carefully planned, and were the preparations adequate?
pst.000065527542Indeed, why not reinforce that success by sending another 30,000 or 60,000 or 90,000 reinforcements?
pst.000065527542Indeed, why not reinforce that success by sending another 30,000 or 60,000 or 90,000 reinforcements?
pst.000065527542Is Prime Minister Maliki developing some confidence now?
pst.000065527542Is it just impossible to offer any rough estimate?
pst.000065527542Is it possible for us to be able to work together with the adminis- tration to work out a method of reimbursement?
pst.000065527542Is it providing a greater security here at home?
pst.000065527542Is n't that an expense that the Iraqis should be covering?
pst.000065527542Is n't that something that is a positive trend?
pst.000065527542Is that a fair observation?
pst.000065527542Is that an important thing that's happened here?
pst.000065527542Is that correct?
pst.000065527542Is that correct?
pst.000065527542Is that correct?
pst.000065527542Is that correct?
pst.000065527542Is that even doable given Iraq's ethnic makeup and the long history of conflict between Sunnis and Shia?
pst.000065527542Is that how you would recommend to them that they do, that they peel their leaders off of their best units?
pst.000065527542Is that not also a fair observation?
pst.000065527542Is that not an act of sectarian forgiveness that is a precondition to reconciliation?
pst.000065527542Is that not correct?
pst.000065527542Is that one reason why we do n't have to call on additional Reserve and Na- tional Guard components?
pst.000065527542Is that the advice you're giving him?
pst.000065527542Is that the underpinning theory of the surge?
pst.000065527542Is that true?
pst.000065527542Is that what I hear from you?
pst.000065527542Is the U.S. policy currently pursuing either one of those objec- tives?
pst.000065527542Is there any way that Iraq could be a failed state, and it not affect our national security?
pst.000065527542It is making us safer here at home?
pst.000065527542It was n't discussed at all during the Vice President's visit to Baghdad?
pst.000065527542It's a mixed population?
pst.000065527542Joe?
pst.000065527542Just quickly, if you would, please?
pst.000065527542Let me ask you a question; were you at any meetings with the Vice President, Ambassador Crocker, where the issue of the Basrah invasion took place?
pst.000065527542Let me ask you, do you anticipate that the Iraqi Government would submit such an agreement to the Iraqi par- liament for ratification?
pst.000065527542Let's assume that's the case; will you participate with your mili- tary forces in supporting the government?
pst.000065527542Like?
pst.000065527542Maliki, for what?
pst.000065527542Many people ask how do we succeed in Iraq and Afghanistan?
pst.000065527542May I comment, Senator?
pst.000065527542No?
pst.000065527542Now, did he follow your advice?
pst.000065527542Now, does that come close to what you were seeking, sir?
pst.000065527542Now, how do you describe that will to fight?
pst.000065527542Now, next question; if all goes well, what would be the approximate number of our troops there at the end of the year?
pst.000065527542Now, the question is: have those laws been implemented?
pst.000065527542Now, were you aware of General Petraeus's testimony to that ef- fect when you prepared your own testimony?
pst.000065527542Now, what to do now?
pst.000065527542Now, what's happened from January 2007 to the present day?
pst.000065527542Oh, the view that I quoted?
pst.000065527542Or are you giving him any advice at all that seems to contradict what he tried to do in Basrah?
pst.000065527542Or would the CLCs see themselves as being under undo pressure now that a mi- litia group has been successfully eliminated from the scene?
pst.000065527542Or, on the other hand, in the face of this demonstrated progress, do we leave with our goals still not yet attained and secured?
pst.000065527542Secretary GATES.—to add anything?
pst.000065527542Secretary GATES.—to the comment about Afghanistan?
pst.000065527542Secretary Gates and Admiral Mullen, is the core organi- zation and purpose of AQI oriented at attacks within Iraq or outside of Iraq?
pst.000065527542Secretary Gates?
pst.000065527542Senator?
pst.000065527542Should n't they just give us the fuel that we need to operate?
pst.000065527542Significant en- with out at the PhoenixfAhow they arter rotations and Marticipate in play as part 88 like members of one of the various ethnic groups?
pst.000065527542Since June 2007, sectarian and ethnic violence in Iraq has and in Iraq and Afghanistan?
pst.000065527542Sixty thousand have still not been?
pst.000065527542So other than NATO, these do not nec- essarily, or ever, come before the Senate?
pst.000065527542So you think we are moving toward polit- ical reconciliation?
pst.000065527542So, in other words, it's nothing unusual for this one not to come before the Senate, because others do not, as well?
pst.000065527542So, what are we doing?
pst.000065527542Specific to what?
pst.000065527542That 1,000 Iraqi Army and Police deserted or underperformed?
pst.000065527542That al Qaeda came to Iraq, sir?
pst.000065527542The President describes this as com- ing to an end, today?
pst.000065527542The current force levels for 2 years?
pst.000065527542The economy is improving?
pst.000065527542The only reason we hear on that is that they do n't have the capacity to cut a check to the U.N.?
pst.000065527542The possibility of Maliki going into Basrah was not discussed?
pst.000065527542The question is: What do we do?
pst.000065527542The question now before this Congress and this country is, do we proceed with this proven strategy of success?
pst.000065527542The surge, General Petraeus, was a corrective action, is that fair to say?
pst.000065527542Then the question is: How do you do it?
pst.000065527542Then we had the resistance to Nelson- Col- lins type of legislation, which said that that's what we should be doing, and we proposed that a year ago?
pst.000065527542They continue to be a significant threat?
pst.000065527542They're asking themselves, “ What does all this mean about the way forward?
pst.000065527542To what end are we pursuing our military enterprise?
pst.000065527542Under what conditions should the U.S. military begin a realignment of the mis- sion in Iraq?
pst.000065527542Until when?
pst.000065527542We want to reduce, so why does that make any sense?
pst.000065527542Were you aware of that?
pst.000065527542What about an oil law, which is a major one, because that's the divvying up of the resource?
pst.000065527542What about the money that's already been appropriated but unspent?
pst.000065527542What about the money that's in the cur- rent supplemental that's there for reconstruction, is that structured as a loan?
pst.000065527542What are some of the political challenges that remain?
pst.000065527542What are we going to do about that?
pst.000065527542What are we really talking about, here?
pst.000065527542What can we expect to gain in return for this investment?
pst.000065527542What can we expect to gain in return for this investment?
pst.000065527542What conditions would have to exist for you to recommend to the President that the current strategy is not working?
pst.000065527542What did you mean by the resources you were planning to de- ploy, and over what length of time?
pst.000065527542What do they have the capacity to do, how do they get the capacity to do it?
pst.000065527542What do they want to hear from the elected representatives of the American peo- ple?
pst.000065527542What do they want to hear from us?
pst.000065527542What do we do?
pst.000065527542What do you make of Sadr's declaration of a cease- fire?
pst.000065527542What happens to the guy we're supporting?
pst.000065527542What higher purpose will these successes serve?
pst.000065527542What intrigued me about the comment about the budgets of Afghanistan and Iraq is that it did you say it was$ 675 million for all of Afghanistan?
pst.000065527542What is an acceptable endstate?
pst.000065527542What is it?
pst.000065527542What is our approach?
pst.000065527542What is the im- pause of not continuing to drawdown in a gradual and responsible way, but, rather, holding back?
pst.000065527542What is the plan for phase 2?
pst.000065527542What motivates them to enlist?
pst.000065527542What needs to be done and by whom?
pst.000065527542What objectives are U.S. troops trying to accomplish?
pst.000065527542What percentage would that increase the United States force struc- ture in there?
pst.000065527542What recommendation did President Bush adopt a few hours ago?
pst.000065527542What should we be thinking, and how should we be dealing with it?
pst.000065527542What would happen if the United States began to remove a brigade a month out of Iraq?
pst.000065527542What would your re- sponse to that be?
pst.000065527542What's the alternative?
pst.000065527542What's the lesson that we're to draw from that?
pst.000065527542What, in your estimate, would be the approximate number of American troops there at the end of the year?
pst.000065527542Which army, Senator?
pst.000065527542Which means, if there was a free and open elec- tion, they'd do pretty well?
pst.000065527542Who are the major adversaries in Mosul?
pst.000065527542Who else might be having that kind of contact?
pst.000065527542Why do n't we admit that we are, in effect, doing that, and, at the same time, build toward the residual force, so we know what we can do?
pst.000065527542Why do n't we go in the same order Dr. Bacevich?
pst.000065527542Why have n't we seen more progress?
pst.000065527542Why is that?
pst.000065527542Why not?
pst.000065527542Why should they?
pst.000065527542Why, in your opinion, has the ISF performed so unevenly?
pst.000065527542Why?
pst.000065527542Will that now not be spent?
pst.000065527542Will there be a change in the thinking of the administration on this?
pst.000065527542Would n't that be a better way of planning what the future in Iraq is?
pst.000065527542Would that also include face- to- face talks with the Iranians?
pst.000065527542Would that include the Isqi elements, Badr Bri- gade?
pst.000065527542Would they see it as a signal that we're actually serious about withdrawing, and therefore, try, perhaps, to find other allies elsewhere?
pst.000065527542Would they turn their atten- tion to try to reduce these Concerned Local Citizens( CLC) groups that we're sponsoring, either directly or overtly?
pst.000065527542Would you agree that there's a difference here?
pst.000065527542Would you argue that a defeated mili- tary also has some devastating effects that take a long time to cure?
pst.000065527542Would you comment on that?
pst.000065527542Would you say that Maliki followed your ad- vice?
pst.000065527542Would you say then, that with regard to withdrawal, DOD, General Pet and certainly Members of Congress, would like to see our troops withdrawn?
pst.000065527542Would you talk a little bit about that?
pst.000065527542Would you then say we will begin to reduce again? ” He would not even say that.
pst.000065527542Would, on the contrary, they see this as a reason to take more responsibility?
pst.000065527542You ask, what do they want?
pst.000065527542You envision this after we succeed in this con- flict, is that correct?
pst.000065527542You want to comment on that?
pst.000065527542You were not at any meetings where the Vice President was present, or where this was discussed in his presence?
pst.000065527542You're not going to follow their precedent?
pst.000065527542w, the reason they came to Iraq is why, General Petraeus?
pst.000061490321100,000?
pst.000061490321117 Were we surprised Prime Minister Maliki rejected those time- lines?
pst.000061490321118 Are you familiar with that specific report?
pst.000061490321190 Is that not kind of what we mean by sectarian violence, General Hayden?
pst.0000614903213,500?
pst.00006149032134 Does that represent failed policy?
pst.00006149032190 days, 60 days?
pst.000061490321Al Qaeda, after Zarqawi's death how would you rate their capability and their makeup in terms of numbers?
pst.000061490321All three?
pst.000061490321Also, may we keep the record open for additional ques- tions?
pst.000061490321Also, what steps have you taken or do you plan to take to coun- teract fraud and corruption?
pst.000061490321Am I correct in that?
pst.000061490321Am I right about that?
pst.000061490321Ambas- sador?
pst.000061490321Ambassador Satterfield, ca n't you draw on the 20,000 unallocated reserve to increase the 5,100 target for the near east and south Asia?
pst.000061490321Ambassador Satterfield, does the DOS plan to increase as- sistance to neighboring countries burdened with the high number of Iraqi refugees?
pst.000061490321Ambassador?
pst.000061490321Ambassador?
pst.000061490321Are some of them down the road, in some planned way?
pst.000061490321Are the forces under your command doing any of this?
pst.000061490321Are there plans to eliminate infiltrators from the police ranks, and distance the police from militia con- trol?
pst.000061490321Are there setbacks?
pst.000061490321Are there still Taliban around?
pst.000061490321Are there things that people can not anticipate?
pst.000061490321Are these checkpoints that were in the general area of where the school was?
pst.000061490321Are they more supportive or less supportive of us being there now than they were a year ago?
pst.000061490321Are they occupying safe havens in Afghanistan and other places — correction, in Pakistan and other places?
pst.000061490321Are they the leaders of the 97 percent of the rest, or are they foot sol- diers?
pst.000061490321Are we embedding at platoon and company levels?
pst.000061490321Are we work- ing with the Iraqi Government to try and alleviate these tensions?
pst.000061490321Are you able to share what his investigation revealed about the exploitation team actions or inactions?
pst.000061490321Are you aware of any exploitation team re- porting policies changed as a result of this incident?
pst.000061490321At this point in time, how can more troops best be utilized to contain the esca- lation of attacks by insurgents?
pst.000061490321Both of you be- lieve that, that this is a central battle in the war on terror, Iraq?
pst.000061490321But a lot of us are in it together, that is the good news, right?
pst.000061490321But do we have some idea of what our conditions for staying are?
pst.000061490321But in any event, would you agree that it is im- portant that they do understand our commitment is not open- ended?
pst.000061490321But in the province in general?
pst.000061490321But is it not inevitable that as units transi- tion off combat that there will be a period when they do not meet your high standards of readiness?
pst.000061490321But my question is why are we letting them de- fine the battlefield for us?
pst.000061490321But the question is, be- cause I am asked this question all the time, do we need more troops or should we withdraw?
pst.000061490321But the rest of it therefore is the sectarian killings or conflict?
pst.000061490321But we will not be involved in that process?
pst.000061490321By codified, what do you mean?
pst.000061490321Can you talk a little bit more about that?
pst.000061490321Can you tell me that?
pst.000061490321Cel?
pst.000061490321Could I ask, of those that are being killed out here in this violence, what percent of those are for- eigners?
pst.000061490321Could he just declare a truce to sectarian violence or deliver a religious fatwa against that violence?
pst.000061490321Could you further define your professional definition of “ robust rules of engagement ”?
pst.000061490321Did the event that was described there in that ar- ticle occur?
pst.000061490321Did the events described in the article occur?
pst.000061490321Did the events that were described there occur?
pst.000061490321Did we present a different timeline and set of benchmarks to them from the one you just referred to?
pst.000061490321Did you anticipate this situation a year ago?
pst.000061490321Did you deny this request or did the OMB deny the request?
pst.000061490321Did you ever think about maybe just disbanding the police and using the mili- tary instead, instead of police?
pst.000061490321Did you note that General Zinni, who opposed the invasion, now thinks that we should have more troops?
pst.000061490321Did you notice that General Battiste, who was opposed to the conduct of this conflict, says that we may need tens of thousands of additional troops?
pst.000061490321Did you, General Abizaid?
pst.000061490321Do n't they deserve a commitment from our Government that is matched by adequate resources?
pst.000061490321Do the missions and the rules of engagement( ROE) for NATO and OEF differ, as several NATO officials have suggested?
pst.000061490321Do we have a timetable or a goal for having a significant number of Iraqi battalions operating without U.S. sup- port?
pst.000061490321Do we know whether approximately 50 percent or 30 percent?
pst.000061490321Do we need less American troops?
pst.000061490321Do we need more American troops at the mo- ment to quell the balance?
pst.000061490321Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: that Iraq is the central battlefront in the war on terror?
pst.000061490321Do you agree that we need to do these things?
pst.000061490321Do you agree with that in general?
pst.000061490321Do you agree, General, with the Ambassador from Britain to Iraq that Iraq is sliding toward civil war?
pst.000061490321Do you believe it to be so?
pst.000061490321Do you believe that we have, today, sufficient force levels in order to accomplish all these tasks?
pst.000061490321Do you believe, General, that Prime Minister Maliki will move against the Sadr militia?
pst.000061490321Do you concur in that?
pst.000061490321Do you have a question, Senator Levin?
pst.000061490321Do you have any assessment as to the direction, the current direction, as to whether it does not change, as to whether it leads to success or not?
pst.000061490321Do you have any sort of sense of the timing of this, particularly with respect to the Mahdi Army and to Sadr?
pst.000061490321Do you have any thoughts on that?
pst.000061490321Do you have any views, General?
pst.000061490321Do you have evidence of systematic ethnic cleans- ing in parts of Iraq?
pst.000061490321Do you personally share that view?
pst.000061490321Do you see that as something more than just coin- cidental, but organized and systematic?
pst.000061490321Do you think that is a positive development?
pst.000061490321Do you want to take the timeline?
pst.000061490321Does that include also weeding out the militias and the sectarian differences in the military?
pst.000061490321Does the enemy have a brain and continue to make adjustments on the ground, requiring our forces to continue to make adjustments?
pst.000061490321Does the recruiting shortfall, combined with lowered benchmarks, indicate trouble for our force and ability to re- supply the ranks?
pst.000061490321Does the violence tend to be up during the summer and spring, summer fall months?
pst.000061490321First I will ask you, do you think we are going to, with those funds, will be able to meet that reset problem?
pst.000061490321First, do you think that is a problem?
pst.000061490321Gen- eral Abizaid?
pst.000061490321General ABIZAID.—do we need more troops?
pst.000061490321General Abizaid, could you expand on this, are they getting in with the growth of the sectarian violence?
pst.000061490321General Abizaid, is Al Anbar Province under control?
pst.000061490321General Abizaid, we are moving 7,500 troops into Baghdad, is that correct?
pst.000061490321General Hayden, is that your impression?
pst.000061490321General Hayden?
pst.000061490321General Maples or General Hayden?
pst.000061490321General Maples, General Hayden?
pst.000061490321General Maples, anything?
pst.000061490321General Maples, is Anbar Province under control?
pst.000061490321General Maples?
pst.000061490321General Maples?
pst.000061490321General Maples?
pst.000061490321General Pace, you said there is a possibility of the situation in Iraq evolving into civil war, is that correct?
pst.000061490321General Taples?
pst.000061490321General, are any of the Iraqi army battalions operating inde- pendently, without U.S. support, at this point?
pst.000061490321General?
pst.000061490321General?
pst.000061490321General?
pst.000061490321General?
pst.000061490321Has the witness had the opportunity to fully reply to the ques- tion before him?
pst.000061490321Have we had since our invasion, and do we have today, sufficient force levels in Iraq?
pst.000061490321Have we thought of that?
pst.000061490321Have you not testified to that?
pst.000061490321Have you seen the readiness reports, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000061490321Having said that, our troop posture will basi- cally stay the same?
pst.000061490321How about we partition Iraq into three dif- ferent nation states?
pst.000061490321How are we going to curb sectarian violence if the Sunnis and Shiites do not believe we are working adequately to address this matter?
pst.000061490321How are you going to correct that?
pst.000061490321How can we do that without in- creasing the overall number of American troops in Iraq?
pst.000061490321How can we get this — if this is a problem, as you suggest it is, how can we raise this up and do something about it?
pst.000061490321How could we supply a huge forward operating base in the Kurdish region if we abandon all of Iraq to the south?
pst.000061490321How do we get the Iraqi Government to do their job?
pst.000061490321How do you identify that and how do you counteract it?
pst.000061490321How does this square with the increased U.S. troop presence in Baghdad and the continuing presence of coalition troops through- out Iraq?
pst.000061490321How far have we gone toward the goal of building mixed units so far, and what steps are we taking to accelerate it?
pst.000061490321How is their background and training actually going to quell that sectarian violence that you have identified as escalating at the present time?
pst.000061490321How many Ira- nians would you say are in Iraq now and what are they up to?
pst.000061490321How many?
pst.000061490321How so?
pst.000061490321How soon can we get them into the Iraqi army at those levels?
pst.000061490321How would we fix that problem, since it has been in and out of control four or five times in the last 342 years that I know of?
pst.000061490321I can ask this of either of you — do we believe that the grand ayatollah can influence Sadr's behavior?
pst.000061490321I guess my question first is, what are our measurable goals?
pst.000061490321I have been asked, can we help quell the sectarian vio- lence?
pst.000061490321I said: Where are you going to get the troops?
pst.000061490321I take it by your answer that you profoundly disagree with that conclusion?
pst.000061490321I would rather work it from the other way around: what is the effect we are trying to create?
pst.000061490321If it does come to that, do we have a continuing mission in Iraq?
pst.000061490321If not, do you have plans along those lines?
pst.000061490321If so, how can we improve it?
pst.000061490321If we are redeploying U.S. troops from outside Baghdad, wo n't we need to replace those troops with additional forces?
pst.000061490321If we withdrew troops to Kuwait, would that be a good idea?
pst.000061490321If we withdrew troops to Okinawa, would that be a good idea?
pst.000061490321If you believe we do, what do you believe will be the turning point in this war, since additional troops seem to be unnecessary?
pst.000061490321If you use in- surgents, those who are opposed to the coalition presence what do you think, Mike?
pst.000061490321In terms of foreign fighters?
pst.000061490321In the spirit of bipartisanship that I espouse, how could I say no?
pst.000061490321Including an announcement of a plan for possible reduction of forces some time down the road?
pst.000061490321Including that?
pst.000061490321Indigenous effectively to Iran?
pst.000061490321Iraqis against Iraqis?
pst.000061490321Is Basra in control of the militias?
pst.000061490321Is Iraq going to be a long war?
pst.000061490321Is it a majority?
pst.000061490321Is it encouraging that there are significant reve- nues that they are not committing to reconstruction efforts?
pst.000061490321Is it essentially accurate?
pst.000061490321Is it important that the Iraqis understand that our commitment is not open- ended?
pst.000061490321Is it nine provinces?
pst.000061490321Is it not difficult then to argue that you really have to have a national non- militia force, that you can not rely upon this re- gionalization?
pst.000061490321Is it not possible that our adversaries define it as the central front in the war on terror because that serves their interests, not ours?
pst.000061490321Is it standing up their troops?
pst.000061490321Is it three provinces?
pst.000061490321Is it weeding out the militias that are in the police force, forces around the country?
pst.000061490321Is it your advice as CIA Director that this is the central battlefront in the war on terror?
pst.000061490321Is it, or do you wish to go to your last question?
pst.000061490321Is one of the options that is being explored additional U.S. forces going to Iraq?
pst.000061490321Is that a serious issue?
pst.000061490321Is that about the figure?
pst.000061490321Is that accurate?
pst.000061490321Is that an accurate assessment, General Hayden, Gen- eral Maples?
pst.000061490321Is that correct?
pst.000061490321Is that fair?
pst.000061490321Is that going to continue to be the case?
pst.000061490321Is that money appropriate or is it in some way a waste of resources?
pst.000061490321Is that not a bit dispiriting?
pst.000061490321Is that not part of the equation of thinking that has to be looked at in the context of raising our troop level?
pst.000061490321Is that similar to what we are hearing in terms of benchmarks?
pst.000061490321Is that true?
pst.000061490321Is the situation under control in Ramadi?
pst.000061490321Is the situation under control in Ramadi?
pst.000061490321Is the violence up?
pst.000061490321Is there a document?
pst.000061490321Is there a plan to fund these organi- zations in the long- term?
pst.000061490321Is there any way that you can explain why the IC is dragging its feet on a new assessment of Iraq?
pst.000061490321Is this problem going to get solved in the near- term about this long struggle against violent extremism?
pst.000061490321It is one or the other?
pst.000061490321It was a “ triumphal”—what did you call it?
pst.000061490321It will be exclusively up to the prime minister and his security forces?
pst.000061490321Just before my time expires, General, is this the area that American troops had been withdrawn from as a re- sult of the request of Sadr?
pst.000061490321Let me ask you both, and it was following some of your answers: What would it take — what would shake your faith and optimism?
pst.000061490321Might it not be in their interest to have us there, but not in ours?
pst.000061490321More specifically, are we doing enough to interdict cross- border flows of narcotics?
pst.000061490321More specifically, to what extent has the large scale deployment of troops to Iraq limited our ability to respond to a threat from North Korea?
pst.000061490321Mr. Chairman, may I just say one word?
pst.000061490321Mr. Chairman, would you allow me to ask my questions, rather than have the Secretary ask my questions for me?
pst.000061490321Mr. Secretary, did you go back to the President and ask for more funds because of the critical needs of the Army and the Marine Corps for reset?
pst.000061490321My ques- tion is: was there a document?
pst.000061490321My question also includes what are we doing there now in these other than military areas?
pst.000061490321My question to you is what 146 steps are we taking to ensure the Iraqi people feel that they are receiving fair and impartial treatment?
pst.000061490321Now, General Maples?
pst.000061490321Now, how do we reconcile that, if it is true, with your response to Senator Graham?
pst.000061490321Now, is this a result of American procedures or Iraqi failures?
pst.000061490321Now, on the Shiite side, how many people are the problem in terms of using violence?
pst.000061490321On a scale of 1 to 10, how certain are you that we are re going to be able to help them do that or are they going to be able to do that on their own?
pst.000061490321On a scale of 1 to 10, what do you think the chances are that he is going to be able to lead?
pst.000061490321One other question has to do again with the borders and how are we doing with respect to Iran and Syria?
pst.000061490321Or would they likely be emboldened and empowered and more aggressive?
pst.000061490321Robust rules?
pst.000061490321Secretary Rumsfeld, General Pace, and General Abizaid, how does that timeline mesh with the units'training timeline?
pst.000061490321Secretary Rumsfeld, General Pace, and General Abizaid, what accounts for the recent upsurge in fighting in southern Afghanistan?
pst.000061490321Secretary Rumsfeld, General Pace, and General Abizaid, what role is Iran playing today in southern Iraq and more widely throughout the country?
pst.000061490321Secretary Rumsfeld, General Pace, and General Abizaid, what, if any, events do you think will bring down the level of violence in Iraq?
pst.000061490321Secretary Rumsfeld, General Pace, and General Abizaid, where will these additional troops come from?
pst.000061490321Senator Lieberman, would you indulge me?
pst.000061490321Senator, may I go on the record, sir?
pst.000061490321Should we be cutting back on our aid and assistance programs there?
pst.000061490321Should we not, at least by the end of this year, begin to do what the President said we would do?
pst.000061490321Since the secu- rity forces of Iraq have stood up in such significant measure, should we not begin to stand down as the President said we would?
pst.000061490321So do you expect us to gain control of Anbar Province any time soon?
pst.000061490321So in summary, you would say at the present time negotiations with those two coun- tries are not on the table?
pst.000061490321So it is your testimony that we do not need any change in troop levels to get this right?
pst.000061490321So my question to you is how do we get the Iraqi Government to do their job?
pst.000061490321So the White House did turn down your request for additional money for reset, yes or no?
pst.000061490321So the foreign fighters represent 2 or 3 per- cent and the rest of those that are involved in the fighting are the sectarian fighters?
pst.000061490321So the ones, the 2 to 3 percent, that includes the suicide bombers?
pst.000061490321So there are plans definitely as you increase the size or the number of embeds at battalion level to reach down into the company levels?
pst.000061490321So there was no document which we said that the Iraqis had agreed to, which in fact Prime Minister Maliki said had not been agreed to?
pst.000061490321So what have we got to do to get the Iraqi army over that hump, General, to get them to the point to where they can take control?
pst.000061490321So would they really want a unified democratic, pre- sumably pro- American, Iraq?
pst.000061490321So you did not ask?
pst.000061490321Ten, nine?
pst.000061490321Tens of thousands?
pst.000061490321That will be your last question, but let us give the panel — it is directed to whom?
pst.000061490321That would operate completely independently?
pst.000061490321The question for our country and the world at large is how can we let 40,000 people in a nation of – how many million in Iraq?
pst.000061490321The question for the American peo- ple I think as we go forward: Will they ever seize this moment any time soon?
pst.000061490321The troops from Ramadi came from Fallujah, is that not correct?
pst.000061490321The$ 300 billion question is when?
pst.000061490321There is no such document?
pst.000061490321To what extent did the report overestimate the progress of the ISF?
pst.000061490321True or false?
pst.000061490321Wanted us, Americans, to arrest and detain?
pst.000061490321Was General Shinseki correct when you look backward that we needed more troops to secure the country?
pst.000061490321Was there a document presented, which was not accepted?
pst.000061490321Was there a list of people that the Iraqi general wanted us to arrest and detain?
pst.000061490321We are not doing that now, right, General Maples?
pst.000061490321We are not doing that now?
pst.000061490321We do not know, have no idea?
pst.000061490321Weeks?
pst.000061490321Well now, how critical is this to the overall success?
pst.000061490321Well, and you agree with their definition?
pst.000061490321Were there any American troops in that re- gion, in that immediate area?
pst.000061490321Were you wrong when you said “ the Taliban are gone ”?
pst.000061490321What about Ramadi and Fallujah specifically?
pst.000061490321What are our “ lessons learned ”?
pst.000061490321What are the missions of our forces?
pst.000061490321What are they doing?
pst.000061490321What changes are you referring to?
pst.000061490321What do we have to do to get them over that military hump for them to start being able to defend themselves without us?
pst.000061490321What do we least understand right now about al Qaeda?
pst.000061490321What do we need to do now to get this thing moving?
pst.000061490321What do you say are the 2 to 3 percent?
pst.000061490321What do you say?
pst.000061490321What do you think of that idea, General?
pst.000061490321What do you think of that idea?
pst.000061490321What effect might setting a timeline for withdrawal have?
pst.000061490321What efforts are being done to address this matter?
pst.000061490321What efforts has the administration made to convince Jor- dan, Syria, and other countries to keep their borders open to Iraqi refugees?
pst.000061490321What feedback do you have from them regarding the capabilities of Iraqi troops, and how would you rate the success of these teams?
pst.000061490321What has gone wrong in Afghanistan?
pst.000061490321What is being done to fix these problems and how do we ensure that it will not happen in the fu- ture?
pst.000061490321What is holding him up, is he ready to do it now?
pst.000061490321What is the mission of the United States today under this resolu- tion if that situation erupts into a civil war?
pst.000061490321What is your advice?
pst.000061490321What is your assessment of that?
pst.000061490321What kind of impact would re- sult if we were to precipitously withdraw?
pst.000061490321What number did you pick?
pst.000061490321What percentage of the Iraqi people buy into our view of Iraq being a democratic functioning government?
pst.000061490321What role do you imagine that U.S. forces would play in the deployment of an international peacekeeping force?
pst.000061490321What would make you pessimistic about our chances?
pst.000061490321When did you request the$ 13 billion, Mr. Sec- retary?
pst.000061490321When you say it is possible to imagine some re- duction in forces, you mean this year?
pst.000061490321Where are these troops coming from?
pst.000061490321Who would be the biggest winners and losers in a failed Iraqi state?
pst.000061490321Why are they not doing better?
pst.000061490321Why are they not doing it?
pst.000061490321Why are we stuck on a troop level that is not work- ing?
pst.000061490321Why can not 200,000 armed people working together contain 30,000 or 40,000?
pst.000061490321Why did you not ask the White House before they sent the request to Congress for that clearly needed money?
pst.000061490321Why did you not request the$ 13 billion when the budget was being prepared to be sent to Congress?
pst.000061490321Why do we not as a nation throw everything in the world that we have at this small group so that the majority will come forward?
pst.000061490321Why do you believe it would increase?
pst.000061490321Why is the government not supporting the army — why are they supporting the militias over the army?
pst.000061490321Why should we have confidence in their ability to rec- oncile those differences in the face of their behavior?
pst.000061490321Why?
pst.000061490321Will all of them be decisions we would have taken?
pst.000061490321Will you provide for the committee today that communication that you referred to?
pst.000061490321With that one condition, that a political settle- ment is essential, it is the key to a success in Iraq?
pst.000061490321With the encouragement, the permission, the tol- erance of Sadr?
pst.000061490321With the military as a supportive role, or are we confused about who is responsible?
pst.000061490321Would it be your advice to this committee to throw everything this Nation has into winning this battle?
pst.000061490321Would it cause someone to have a higher degree of con- cern than is warranted?
pst.000061490321Would it make them say, well, the United States is a nicer place and we do not have to be so ag- gressive now?
pst.000061490321Would it mollify the extremists?
pst.000061490321Would more American troops have made a dif- ference?
pst.000061490321Would my good friend yield for one additional question?
pst.000061490321Would progress not be arrested by improvised explosive devices( IED) and a lack of any ground- level intelligence from U.S. forces?
pst.000061490321Would the Turks be likely to allow us to supply it from their territory or would we be forced to fly in all required supplies?
pst.000061490321Would you ascribe to that view?
pst.000061490321You believe he will?
pst.000061490321You both agree with him on this, his answers?
pst.000061490321You do not agree, then, that it is in its last throes or that they are shooting the last arrows?
pst.000061490321most disturbing that what seems to be a rising level of violence, of sectarian violence?
pur1.32754070066661149 Now, how adequately are we addressing that, and how commen- surate has our commitment been?
pur1.3275407006666145 What can we expect after Saddam Hussein in Iraq?
pur1.3275407006666177 Or is simply possession of weapons of mass destruction among the nations of the"axis of evil ” sufficient?
pur1.32754070066661A lot of innocent people would die in the interim, but- any comment on that?
pur1.32754070066661About 14 million, 15 million?
pur1.32754070066661An imminent attack upon the United States by Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661And I think the first thing to ask is, is there an imminent threat to the United States being attacked directly?
pur1.32754070066661And as you look at the Afghani- stan situation, what questions may that raise about the Iraqi situa- tion, post Saddam Hussein?
pur1.32754070066661And could such a regime be forced upon the cur- rent Iraqi government in the near term without first going to war against that gov- ernment?
pur1.32754070066661And does it — or does it matter?
pur1.32754070066661And he said 157 what about the French?
pur1.32754070066661And if he was doing so, wou there be any fingerprints of this?
pur1.32754070066661And if it's really our security, is n't it keeping ourselves safe from weapons of mass destruction from wherever they might come?
pur1.32754070066661And if not, what do we do?
pur1.32754070066661And if so, how?
pur1.32754070066661And if so, when and how do you think that would most likely occur?
pur1.32754070066661And if so, why?
pur1.32754070066661And is it possible to significantly reduce those costs?
pur1.32754070066661And it would be much costlier in the future, or not?
pur1.32754070066661And so how is that going to be viewed?
pur1.32754070066661And the moral balance here shifts from whether we're acting uni- laterally, whether we're acting legitimately, to what does he have to hide?
pur1.32754070066661And the question is, is the religious tie tighter than the ethnic tie?
pur1.32754070066661And what does it impact throughout the region?
pur1.32754070066661And what's the way?
pur1.32754070066661And where are they?
pur1.32754070066661And where are they?
pur1.32754070066661And who will pay for Iraq's recovery, with current estimates of the cost of rebuilding its economy ranging from$ 50 to$ 150 billion?
pur1.32754070066661And why do you come to that conclusion, that he might be alive?
pur1.32754070066661And why should we be?
pur1.32754070066661And, for a further question, who are the successors to Saddam's regime who might emerge from this part- nership?
pur1.32754070066661And, fourth, and maybe most important, if we participate in Saddam's departure, what are our responsibilities the day after?
pur1.32754070066661And, second, is he working in the BW field on smallpox, ebola, and plague?
pur1.32754070066661And, so, looking at that, I say to myself, do I want more of that in the region or should I follow a different route?
pur1.32754070066661And, third, how do Iraq's neighbors and our allies see the problem in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661And, third, how do Iraq's neighbors, other countries in the region, and our allies see the, “ Iraqi prob- lem ”?
pur1.32754070066661Any further questions of the committee?
pur1.32754070066661Any other comments?
pur1.32754070066661Anybody else?
pur1.32754070066661Anybody think we can do it in 1 to 2 years?
pur1.32754070066661Anybody think we're in the 3-to-5 year range?
pur1.32754070066661Anybody?
pur1.32754070066661Are Americans ready to shoulder that burden now?
pur1.32754070066661Are there further questions?
pur1.32754070066661Are these people likely to flee out of their own interests?
pur1.32754070066661Are they likely to do it?
pur1.32754070066661Are we really aggres- sively going to try to stop arms transfers?
pur1.32754070066661Are we really prepared to give back to this re- gime control of the oil revenues?
pur1.32754070066661Are we talking about, in fact, removing Saddam Hussein because he is Saddam Hussein, alone, or because of the weapons of mass destruction?
pur1.32754070066661Are you talking about tens of thousands?
pur1.32754070066661Are you talking about the same numbers Dr. Kemp is?
pur1.32754070066661As you pointed out, if all this began to occur in Iraq, what would the neighbors think?
pur1.32754070066661But on your direct question, is there evidence?
pur1.32754070066661But the welcome will be coupled with a sense of appre- hension and expectation: What will the Americans do, and what do they intend for Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661But, at any rate, do you want to con- clude?
pur1.32754070066661Can I ask for a point of clarification, professor?
pur1.32754070066661Can I say it another way to make sure that I un- derstand it?
pur1.32754070066661Can I start?
pur1.32754070066661Can Saddam be rehabilitated?
pur1.32754070066661Can Saddam be rehabilitated?
pur1.32754070066661Can any of you give an idea as to who physically might offer leadership?
pur1.32754070066661Can we keep forces deployed to support inspections forever?
pur1.32754070066661Can you all give to us, to me any insight into how we would have to go about that?
pur1.32754070066661Can you explain what you mean by prepared and enabled?
pur1.32754070066661Correct?
pur1.32754070066661Could I just say I agree with what my two colleagues have said?
pur1.32754070066661Could you please give us some sort of an assessment of how important that factor is in the successful prosecution of the military option?
pur1.32754070066661Do I have time for one more question?
pur1.32754070066661Do any of you have any information with regard to the whereabouts or the condition of Commander Speicher?
pur1.32754070066661Do most Iraqis yearn for democratic change in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Do most Iraqis yearn for democratic change in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Do they accept this?
pur1.32754070066661Do we discard it altogether?
pur1.32754070066661Do we have it right now?
pur1.32754070066661Do we have reason to believe that the Iraqis altered their policy on this issue?
pur1.32754070066661Do we just have to be coldhearted and put the national interest first?
pur1.32754070066661Do you consider Germany nation building after World War II?
pur1.32754070066661Do you have another question?
pur1.32754070066661Do you have any reason to believe that?
pur1.32754070066661Do you have any reason to believe they have sur- mounted those bottlenecks?
pur1.32754070066661Do you think that Saddam Hussein would share weapons of mass destruction with such groups?
pur1.32754070066661Do you understand my question?
pur1.32754070066661Do you want to make a comment?
pur1.32754070066661Do you want to take a 5- minute break?
pur1.32754070066661Doctor, can you tell us how large the Shia popu- lation is in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Doctor, can you tell us if you know what the total amount of reparations owed is, roughly, by Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Does an one have a comment on that?
pur1.32754070066661Does any- one disagree with the point just made?
pur1.32754070066661Does anybody think we can do any of what we are talking about without mobilizing the Guard and the Reserves to a degree beyond which they are now?
pur1.32754070066661Does anyone agree with that proposition?
pur1.32754070066661Does anyone disagree with that point?
pur1.32754070066661Does anyone disagree with that specific point, and if so, how?
pur1.32754070066661Does anyone else have a comment on the intel- ligence, or how we gain people in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Does anyone want to respond to that?
pur1.32754070066661Does he want it?
pur1.32754070066661Does it mean that we should, therefore, now stop trying to get that re- stored?
pur1.32754070066661Does non- cooperation by Iraq mean they are not complying?
pur1.32754070066661Does your note about, will associate with us but very quiet- ly, does that mean they will not be able to give us access?
pur1.32754070066661Either of you have a comment on that?
pur1.32754070066661First, what is the threat from Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661First, what is the threat from Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Five years, 10 years?
pur1.32754070066661For example, is it reasonable todemand that Iraq turn off its entire air defense system so the inspectors may fly into Iraq anytime, and any- where?
pur1.32754070066661For example, will a sunni general, raised and trained under the Ba'th, be will- ing to eliminate all weapons of mass destruction?
pur1.32754070066661For the record, your time ended when?
pur1.32754070066661Fourthly, what would it take to rebuild Iraq economically and politically?
pur1.32754070066661Gentlemen, do either of you have any more questions?
pur1.32754070066661Has he acquired a nuclear weapons capability by purchasing it from Soviet stock?
pur1.32754070066661He says, “ If every- thing's equally important to you, Joe, nothing is important. ” How do we prioritize?
pur1.32754070066661How about anybody in the neighborhood?
pur1.32754070066661How about the Saudis?
pur1.32754070066661How accurate is that assessment?
pur1.32754070066661How accurate is that assessment?
pur1.32754070066661How do we accomplish regime change in Iraq given the complexities and chal- lenges of the current regional environment?
pur1.32754070066661How do we do that?
pur1.32754070066661How do we get allies into this game?
pur1.32754070066661How do we keep the country together and avoid a Balkanized outcome?
pur1.32754070066661How do we keep the country together and avoid a Balkanized outcome?
pur1.32754070066661How immediate is the danger?
pur1.32754070066661How many of those countries do you think we can get?
pur1.32754070066661How many years, and how many people do we have to have there to make certain those who are doing these incipient democratic things have time to do it?
pur1.32754070066661How much do we know about the consequences?
pur1.32754070066661How much do we know abut the responses that are likely to come based upon certain actions?
pur1.32754070066661How much does Saddam rely upon the expertise of scientists — foreign scientists for such as unemployed Russian sci- entists and others?
pur1.32754070066661How much of the scientific research and devel- opment is done by non- Iraqis?
pur1.32754070066661How much success do you think we will have?
pur1.32754070066661How practical is that?
pur1.32754070066661How will we know that Iraq is planning to pass weapons to ter- rorist organizations?
pur1.32754070066661How would a successful containment plus policy solve or deal with the potential of Saddam giving weapons of mass destruction to terrorists?
pur1.32754070066661How would we know?
pur1.32754070066661I mean, could you all speak to that for a sec- ond?
pur1.32754070066661I mean, should we be doing that kind of thing now?
pur1.32754070066661I mean, what is the — is there any predictable response from those countries?
pur1.32754070066661I think the question now becomes, should we do it now?
pur1.32754070066661INCENTIVES AND RED LINES What will the Turks be looking for in such consultations?
pur1.32754070066661If I may at least finish this paragraph?
pur1.32754070066661If I may, Senator, I would be very cau- tious, because one thing is what kind of uprising and for what?
pur1.32754070066661If the U.N.-Iraqi process proceeds, how will we know if a serious inspection re- gime is planned?
pur1.32754070066661If they hit one of them, that is an act of war, is it not?
pur1.32754070066661If we go it alone, does it matter?
pur1.32754070066661If we participate or if we are the only participant in the departure of Saddam, what are our responsibilities, if any, the day after?
pur1.32754070066661In other words, do we try to identify persons in advance?
pur1.32754070066661In other words, is n't less control arguably even more dangerous than the current situation?
pur1.32754070066661In other words, what is the nature of the debt and reparations you're refer- ring to, the magnitude, roughly?
pur1.32754070066661In short, after a military victory has been declared, will the U.S. stay committed for the long haul?
pur1.32754070066661Iranian fears may be one thing but what, in reality, are they likely to do in event of war?
pur1.32754070066661Is Iraq involved in terrorist planning and activities against the United States and U.S. allies in the Middle East and elsewhere?
pur1.32754070066661Is Iraq involved in terrorist planning and activities against the United States and U.S. allies in the Middle East and elsewhere?
pur1.32754070066661Is Sad- dam Hussein's control on the leadership of that country so tight that it's very difficult to have that uprising from within?
pur1.32754070066661Is it at all relevant?
pur1.32754070066661Is it conceivable that Saddam will link up with extremist Islamic terrorists?
pur1.32754070066661Is it conceivable that Saddam will link up with extremist Islamic terrorists?
pur1.32754070066661Is n't it likely that those people will take valuable and dangerous materials as well as knowledge with them?
pur1.32754070066661Is n't it really our security that we're talking about?
pur1.32754070066661Is now the time?
pur1.32754070066661Is that a fair statement?
pur1.32754070066661Is that about right?
pur1.32754070066661Is that correct?
pur1.32754070066661Is that something we want to leave alone for a long period of time?
pur1.32754070066661Is that the more likely in- tense focus that one should go at in a sequential battle in the war on terrorism?
pur1.32754070066661Is that to me?
pur1.32754070066661Is that true or not?
pur1.32754070066661Is there a big enough threat that can not be contained?
pur1.32754070066661Is there another part of your question that I've left out?
pur1.32754070066661Is this worth doing?
pur1.32754070066661Is war justifed simply because some stubborn inspector was blocked from a sensitive security warehouse?
pur1.32754070066661Just with air superiority, using air superi- ority?
pur1.32754070066661Killed any?
pur1.32754070066661Let me ask you, Mr. Telhami, how would you test the choice be- tween regime change and nuclear weapons?
pur1.32754070066661May I ask you quickly what specific avenues would you pursue to take this the final yard or two, as you describe it?
pur1.32754070066661May I followup?
pur1.32754070066661May the President declare an intent to strike without a declara- tion of war from the Congress of the United States?
pur1.32754070066661Mr. Chairman, I beg the indulgence of the committee to ask the other two witnesses for a short answer to the question?
pur1.32754070066661Mr. Chairman, the chairman suggested, I think, dispensation of 45 minutes?
pur1.32754070066661Mr. Chairman, what is likely to happen on the day after, specifi- cally?
pur1.32754070066661Mr. Secretary?
pur1.32754070066661My question is now that in the war on terrorism, what is the ap- propriate next target to go at?
pur1.32754070066661Now, given that provocative idea, does anyone have a comment?
pur1.32754070066661Now, there is a question as to why does Saddam want these dia- bolical weapons?
pur1.32754070066661Now, what do I derive from this SITREP, Mr. Chairman?
pur1.32754070066661Now, what follows on?
pur1.32754070066661On the ground?
pur1.32754070066661Or Bosnia, where we seem impatient to leave even before conditions warrant?
pur1.32754070066661Or is there a more ethnic and cultural tie between the Sunni and Shia Arabs?
pur1.32754070066661Other responses, if I could, Mr. Chairman?
pur1.32754070066661Second, depending on our assessment of the threat- or depending on one's assessment of the threat, what is the appropriate response?
pur1.32754070066661Second, depending on the as- sessment of that threat, what is viewed as the appropriate re- sponse to the threat?
pur1.32754070066661Senator, can I just make one comment?
pur1.32754070066661Should U.S. ac- tion be targeted and covert, or overwhelming and overt?
pur1.32754070066661Should we — this is your question, I think- should we rely on it as the answer?
pur1.32754070066661So the issue is, are these strategic weapons, or are they tactical weapons?
pur1.32754070066661So the question is, how do we get there?
pur1.32754070066661So what does it mean if it's all by ourselves?
pur1.32754070066661So what happens?
pur1.32754070066661So what is actually needed to be done?
pur1.32754070066661So what is needed in this regard?
pur1.32754070066661So what probably do each of you assign to the likelihood of him using whatever weapons of mass destruction he has available to him this time?
pur1.32754070066661So you do not see it as a serious impediment?
pur1.32754070066661So, 211 United States, what do you have in mind here?
pur1.32754070066661Sorry?
pur1.32754070066661Suppressed them?
pur1.32754070066661The question for me is, do we have the time to do this right?
pur1.32754070066661Then what happens afterwards?
pur1.32754070066661There is more that has to be done for every one of the prescrip- tions, right, in terms of spadework?
pur1.32754070066661There is no doubt we would prevail, but at what risk?
pur1.32754070066661There will be a deficit, or some of my friends will have to give up a tax cut, right?
pur1.32754070066661Therefore, who are the likely candidates for an Iraqi partnership with the United States?
pur1.32754070066661They are going to find a way to bring the public along, and therefore, why should we care?
pur1.32754070066661Third, what are our re- sponsibilities if Saddam is removed?
pur1.32754070066661We have to take this and say, is this worth doing?
pur1.32754070066661We have to tell people we do not know, right?
pur1.32754070066661We will trust God. ” What will the United States do?
pur1.32754070066661Well, do we have to in- vade immediately?
pur1.32754070066661Well, my question is where do you think they are?
pur1.32754070066661What about our interest in the rest of the world?
pur1.32754070066661What allies do we need, from both a military and political standpoint?
pur1.32754070066661What are the costs?
pur1.32754070066661What are the possible responses to the Iraqi threat?
pur1.32754070066661What are the red lines?
pur1.32754070066661What are those building blocks?
pur1.32754070066661What brings that about?
pur1.32754070066661What can we expect after Saddam Hussein in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661What diplomatic work would need to be done to reduce the costs?
pur1.32754070066661What do I think?
pur1.32754070066661What do the Turks think about the prospect of direct U.S. mili- tary action to topple Saddam Hussein?
pur1.32754070066661What do we know about Iraq's programs of weapons of mass destruction?
pur1.32754070066661What do we know about Iraq's programs of weapons of mass destruction?
pur1.32754070066661What do we know about the capabilities of the opposition to Saddam inside Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661What do we know about the capabilities of the opposition to Saddam inside Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661What effect does this policy have on other countries with whom we might have disagreements in the future, for example, China?
pur1.32754070066661What happens if we detect proliferation?
pur1.32754070066661What happens in Iran?
pur1.32754070066661What happens when you put up a Bondsteel?
pur1.32754070066661What impact will our ac- tions have on key governments in the region, such as Jordan, Paki- stan, and Turkey?
pur1.32754070066661What impact will that have on American security and the economy?
pur1.32754070066661What in his past would indicate he would do that knowing that, as one of you said, he would invite an incredible response?
pur1.32754070066661What is Iraq without Saddam Hussein?
pur1.32754070066661What is it?
pur1.32754070066661What is needed on the international and the regional level?

pur1.32754070066661What will the Turks be looking for in those consultations?
pur1.32754070066661What will we need, and what process shall we use before a preemptive strike?
pur1.32754070066661What would be the possi- bility of an uprising from within if we were to have some kind of external attack with some internal clandestine operations?
pur1.32754070066661What would it take to secure Iraq and to rebuild it economically and politi- cally?
pur1.32754070066661What would the death toll be among ordinary, innocent Iraqi civilians?
pur1.32754070066661What would you recommend?
pur1.32754070066661What, then, is the right policy?
pur1.32754070066661When was that assessment made?
pur1.32754070066661Where is the analysis of that cost, the people and the funds and the equipment who will bear that cost?
pur1.32754070066661Who are they?
pur1.32754070066661Who are they?
pur1.32754070066661Who can the Unites States turn to in Iraq?
pur1.32754070066661Who for instance is to say that we would have endured the terrors of September 11 had we seen Desert Storm to its rightful conclusion back in 1991?
pur1.32754070066661Who governs?
pur1.32754070066661Who knows that much about the internal politics of Iraq these days?
pur1.32754070066661Who might have at least the backing in a way that Mr. Karzai, apparently through the loya jirga in Afghani- stan has some consent?
pur1.32754070066661Who will do this?
pur1.32754070066661Who would like to start?
pur1.32754070066661Why could not a policy of containment also work here, at least while you buildup to that point of legitimacy?
pur1.32754070066661Why do we think they would?
pur1.32754070066661Why has he defended them at such great cost to the Iraqi people?
pur1.32754070066661Why is Saddam so deeply attached to these diabolical weapons and defended this attachment at massive cost to Iraq and its people?
pur1.32754070066661Why is the UN- sponsored sanctions process, re- cently overhauled and more narrowly targeted, continuing to erode, and what can be done about that?
pur1.32754070066661Why should we pay attention to that?
pur1.32754070066661Why was that done?
pur1.32754070066661Why we do not know more, and why we were not better informed?
pur1.32754070066661Why wo n't he let the world in?
pur1.32754070066661Why would Iraqis say, we need a strong government, Saddam is a bad leader, but on the other hand we need somebody who knows where to go?
pur1.32754070066661Why would he do that?
pur1.32754070066661Why?
pur1.32754070066661Will Iranian nuclear power plants be next?
pur1.32754070066661Will he and the centrist coalition he may assemble be friendly to the US government?
pur1.32754070066661Will he be able to mobilize sufficient sup- port to keep law and order, or will a struggle for power erode his control at the cen- ter?
pur1.32754070066661Will he make his WMD available to terrorist groups?
pur1.32754070066661Will he make his WMD available to terrorist groups?

pur1.32754070066661Will the Senator yield on that point for a just a moment?
pur1.32754070066661Will the United States have to occupy Iraq, and if so for how long?
pur1.32754070066661Will there be a Marshall Plan for Iraq, a nation of 25 million people?
pur1.32754070066661Will we encompass and take on the whole responsibility?
pur1.32754070066661Would anybody like to make a very brief opening comment?
pur1.32754070066661Would be irrelevant to him?
pur1.32754070066661Would it not be better for Turkey if Saddam were gone?
pur1.32754070066661Would it not be better for Turkey if Saddam were gone?
pur1.32754070066661Would our allies, or even states that are not allies, need certain commit- ments from us?
pur1.32754070066661Would that change your priorities?
pur1.32754070066661Would you elucidate and expand on that?
pur1.32754070066661Would you like me to explain now or when I'm done?
pur1.32754070066661Would you like to comment?
pur1.32754070066661Would you respond to that?
pur1.32754070066661“ Would Turkish troops cross into Iraq? ”, Fikret Bila, Milliyet.
pur1.32754070066661• And what about the Iraqi opposition?
pur1.32754070066661• And who will pay for Iraq's recovery- with current estimates of the cost of re- building its economy ranging from$ 50- 150 billion?
pur1.32754070066661• Finally, what would the Turks really do if Iraqi Kurds attempt to seize Mosul and Kirkuk?
pur1.32754070066661• What impact will our action have on key governments in the region- such as Jordan, Pakistan and Turkey?
pur1.32754070066661• What kind of assistance economic, political and military — can a new Iraqi gov- ernment expect from the United States?
pur1.32754070066661• What kind of successor do we see for Saddam Hussein?
pst.000058162255150 What percentage or proportion of the Afghan drug profits go to funding terrorist activities in Afghanistan or elsewhere?
pst.000058162255197 Q: What about the division?
pst.00005816225530 Can you expound on those very wise remarks by our President last night in the State of the Union Address?
pst.000058162255:( Go ahead?
pst.000058162255?
pst.000058162255A larger and larger percentage of these suicide bombers come from Saudi Arabia, Jordan, and other countries, is that not correct?
pst.000058162255A year, two years, five?
pst.000058162255Am I correct on that?
pst.000058162255Am I correct?
pst.000058162255Ambassador Schlicher, how are other Sunni governments in the region responding to Sunday's elections?
pst.000058162255Americans ask, how are we doing in Iraq?
pst.000058162255Americans ask: how are we doing in Iraq?
pst.000058162255And I'm wondering: Is that still the working assumption?
pst.000058162255And do you expect there might be a spike, in fact, more, to provide security for the referendum and then the general election?
pst.000058162255And do you expect you'll begin drawing those down before the referendum and the elections, or will you have a spike in size then?
pst.000058162255And if I might tack on a couple other things, how many troops does the U.S. now have in Iraq?
pst.000058162255And what can you tell us about the increased sophistication of the enemy forces there?
pst.000058162255And what would that do to you?
pst.000058162255And where is it believed that they are getting this outside advice, expertise?
pst.000058162255And who's paying?
pst.000058162255And, sir, is there a division within the enemy ranks, perhaps foreign fighters versus Iraqi insurgents?
pst.000058162255Any sense?
pst.000058162255Are the Iraqi security forces ready for more sophisticated counter- insurgency operations?
pst.000058162255Are there any blockers to continuing to build our HUMINT capability as rapidly as we need to and what are we doing to overcome any such blockers?
pst.000058162255Are there any other members of the panel that wish to address that question?
pst.000058162255Are these part of the level- one force?
pst.000058162255Are they giving any indication of sup- port to Iraqi Sunnis claiming that the elections were not valid?
pst.000058162255Are they going to be helpful or harmful?
pst.000058162255Are they going to be helpful or harmful?
pst.000058162255Are those incidents going to con- tinue?
pst.000058162255Are we faced with 10 if we have less?
pst.000058162255Are we on time for the February 15 date for certification, the best you know?
pst.000058162255Are you con- cerned about this and what should we do about it?
pst.000058162255Are you making that pro- jection at this time?
pst.000058162255Are you planning on troop withdrawals for next year?
pst.000058162255Are you projecting now, based on any assumptions you want to make, that there will be a drawdown of American forces, starting next spring?
pst.000058162255Are you projecting that those conditions would exist next spring, as of this time?
pst.000058162255Are you ready to do that?
pst.000058162255Are you saying that's not accurate?
pst.000058162255Are you willing to at least consider that and take that sug- gestion back?
pst.000058162255Are you, George?
pst.000058162255As polls continue to go down here in the U.S., is that affecting morale?
pst.000058162255Before you go on, could I just add something on your question about the abilities of the Iraqis to suc- ceed in accomplishing their goals?
pst.000058162255But how can we tolerate that situation?
pst.000058162255But would you give them and then answer the questions as you have?
pst.000058162255But, do you see any improvement in that scenario?
pst.000058162255Can we defeat them fast- er if we have more?
pst.000058162255Can you answer that question?
pst.000058162255Can you break down what the enemy looks like for us?
pst.000058162255Can you clarify once and for all: Is there any consideration being given to extending Reserve component deployments?
pst.000058162255Can you give us a few specifics?
pst.000058162255Can you give us your own views with regard to the forthcoming referendum on the constitution, and the likeli- hood of its being adopted?
pst.000058162255Can you go on a little bit on what you mean by that?
pst.000058162255Could either one of those change?
pst.000058162255Could this possibly accelerate a potential move toward civil war?
pst.000058162255Could you give us more details about what you said about the outside help?
pst.000058162255Do we have a prediction on that, a feeling about that?
pst.000058162255Do we have any idea what percentage were not paid?
pst.000058162255Do you agree that the CPA should have instituted better managerial, financial and contractual controls over spending through the Iraqi ministries?
pst.000058162255Do you agree with LTG Petraeus?
pst.000058162255Do you agree with that?
pst.000058162255Do you approve of the Marine troop reductions?
pst.000058162255Do you believe they would return to theatre to cause you additional trou- ble?
pst.000058162255Do you envision coalition forces stepping back in that regard?
pst.000058162255Do you have any objections, by the way, if Gen- eral Luck would come up here and testify before the committee or informally brief us?
pst.000058162255Do you have milestones, a timeline, which would reflect how we would reduce our forces?
pst.000058162255Do you have that kind of a timeline and that kind of a milestone?
pst.000058162255Do you still believe that?
pst.000058162255Do you think operations as Spear Operation is a good choice to fight the insurgency, or do you suggest something else?
pst.000058162255Does anybody else on the panel want to comment on that?
pst.000058162255Does it help the morale of the other side?
pst.000058162255Does it hurt the mo- rale of our troops?
pst.000058162255Does that damage what is going on in our war efforts?
pst.000058162255Does that encourage recruit- ment, funding for the terrorists, the morale?
pst.000058162255Finally, the question is asked, when can the coalition leave and should Congress establish a deadline to withdraw?
pst.000058162255Five brigades?
pst.000058162255GEN. VINES: Okay, would you restate the question?
pst.000058162255General Abizaid and General Casey, what can we do to get a more balanced story?
pst.000058162255General Abizaid, do you wish to respond?
pst.000058162255General Casey, could we talk a little bit about the training of the Iraqi military?
pst.000058162255General Casey, do you have a feeling about that?
pst.000058162255General Casey, do you wish to add anything to this very important question by Senator McCain?
pst.000058162255General Myers, any comment about your force structure there?
pst.000058162255General Myers, are there plans to transfer American armored vehicles and other equipment to Iraqi forces once our forces begin withdrawing?
pst.000058162255General Myers, are you satisfied with the scope and speed of efforts to equip Iraqi forces?
pst.000058162255General Myers, do you believe that Iraqi forces should have at least the same level of protective equipment as do U.S. forces in Iraq?
pst.000058162255General Myers, do you see a potentially significant problem in using Peshmerga units to fight the insurgency?
pst.000058162255General Myers, do you see problems down the road with mili- tias?
pst.000058162255General Myers, do you want to add to that at all?
pst.000058162255General Myers, how long will it take to get American mentors or advisors into all Iraqi units at that level of integration?
pst.000058162255General Myers, how would you describe that policy at the cur- rent time?
pst.000058162255General Myers, if not, why do you believe that reduction will be possible in March?
pst.000058162255General Myers, if the latter, what effect will that have on cur- rent operations against the insurgents?
pst.000058162255General Myers, if true, why?
pst.000058162255General Myers, is the Iraqi National Guard( ING) at all analo- gous to our own National Guard?
pst.000058162255General Myers, is there a distinction between Active and Re- serve components in the new Iraqi Army now that the National Guard is a part?
pst.000058162255General Myers, what decision criteria will you consider in de- termining possible troop reductions in the future?
pst.000058162255General Myers, what is being done to address the specific problems of the Iraqi police forces?
pst.000058162255General Myers, what is your current assessment of the capa- bility of Iraqi security forces?
pst.000058162255General Myers, will Army troop levels in Iraq be increased to cover the responsibilities of the departing marines?
pst.000058162255General Myers, will militias, including the Peshmerga, be al- lowed to maintain military units apart from the official Iraqi security forces?
pst.000058162255General Myers?
pst.000058162255Half, two- thirds, one- third?
pst.000058162255Has CENTCOM developed a readiness report- ing system for Iraqi forces that is at least in some respects analogous to that used by U.S. forces?
pst.000058162255Have you given any thought to planning, if you had a timeline for withdrawal imposed?
pst.000058162255He talks about, General Abizaid, something called a q- a- d- a- h. Is that a “ qadah ”?
pst.000058162255He was taken over the coals, as it were, whereupon he took off one of his shoes and he said: You see this shoe?
pst.000058162255How and who is providing support for them?
pst.000058162255How are the coalition and the new Iraqi Government really doing?
pst.000058162255How are we going to address this situa- tion?
pst.000058162255How can we kill their cousins and sons?
pst.000058162255How can you possibly assure the American people that these funds were well spent if the Pentagon can not even tell Congress where that cash ended up?
pst.000058162255How do we get the Iraqis to go along with that?
pst.000058162255How do we know that the expenditure of this$ 8.8 billion in reconstruction funds has done any good for Iraq?
pst.000058162255How do you evaluate that?
pst.000058162255How do you see dealing with the insurgency in the post- election period?
pst.000058162255How does that affect your mission?
pst.000058162255How important is modern equipment to the effort to build reliable Iraqi forces?
pst.000058162255How important is that, that there be a political coming- together among the Iraqi factions?
pst.000058162255How long are we going to be there?
pst.000058162255How long are we going to do this?
pst.000058162255How long do you think that's going to take?
pst.000058162255How long is the train- ing for a Ministry of Defense soldier, either National Guard or mili- tary?
pst.000058162255How many Iraqis have been killed joining the army?
pst.000058162255How many Iraqis have been killed trying to run for office?
pst.000058162255How many Iraqis have died fighting the insurgency?
pst.000058162255How many U.S. mentors or advi- sors will be assigned to this mission, and at what level will they be integrated into Iraqi units?
pst.000058162255How many did we have a year ago, of those 86?
pst.000058162255How many fully- trained Iraqis does it take before we can start drawing down coalition forces?
pst.000058162255How many of the 190,000 are police?
pst.000058162255How many unauthorized absences are there?
pst.000058162255How often are we going to read that, General Casey?
pst.000058162255How would such a decision impact the current U.S. training efforts in Iraq?
pst.000058162255How would you define"fairly significant reductions"?
pst.000058162255However, suppose for a moment that this worst case sce- nario comes true, what role will our armed services play?
pst.000058162255I ask the American people not to make a liar of me. ” What will happen in the region if we do n't stick with them?
pst.000058162255I asked about the stream of insurgents and foreign fighters coming across the Syrian border, why do we not stop it?
pst.000058162255I can take that as a clear policy statement?
pst.000058162255I guess, first, are you ready to recommend or have you recommended beginning of a permanent draw- down?
pst.000058162255I mean, how much do you pay someone who's going to murder some other people when they kill themselves?
pst.000058162255I think we will be able to depend on ourselves. ” Do you believe that is a prevalent view among Iraqi interim government officials?
pst.000058162255I think you probably agree with that statement, do you not?
pst.000058162255I think you're prepared to give that, General Casey?
pst.000058162255I would say that that message does get communicated, would n't you?
pst.000058162255I'm sorry, if I could just respond to that?
pst.000058162255If Syria does not enforce its borders, should we reach a point where we may not want to respect those borders?
pst.000058162255If the figure is 136,000 troops, it would roughly equate to about$ 50 billion?
pst.000058162255If there are no extensions of times, the earliest date could be what?
pst.000058162255If they are successful, what effect will that have on the duration that Amer- ican troops will remain in Iraq?
pst.000058162255If they do not and to the extent that they do not, what can we do about that?
pst.000058162255If this is the case, what went wrong with our strategy?
pst.000058162255If we had a larger active duty Army and Marine Corps, would we have more troops there on the ground?
pst.000058162255If we should surrender, if we should cut- and- run at this time, what would be the result?
pst.000058162255In other words, are we planning to keep our military in Iraq permanently, or to withdraw them as soon as our mission is complete?
pst.000058162255In other words, based on what we have seen and experienced there, is this a trend that we can see continue?
pst.000058162255In your report that you're coming out in Octo- ber with can you expand on this, give us a fuller kind of report?
pst.000058162255Is it State or Defense?
pst.000058162255Is it fair to say it is more than a few or a hand- ful?
pst.000058162255Is it going to take 12 months?
pst.000058162255Is it internal, or are they getting outside help?
pst.000058162255Is it possible that it could take several years, or longer?
pst.000058162255Is it possible?
pst.000058162255Is it your sense that a substantial proportion of the Iraqis that we are training are willing to stand and fight in a combat situation?
pst.000058162255Is n't it time for you to resign?
pst.000058162255Is that asking too much?
pst.000058162255Is that correct, General Casey?
pst.000058162255Is that correct?
pst.000058162255Is that fair to say?
pst.000058162255Is that going to take 4 months?
pst.000058162255Is that known?
pst.000058162255Is that no longer the case because of conditions on the ground?
pst.000058162255Is that not a source of en- couragement for us of a significant nature?
pst.000058162255Is that your answer?
pst.000058162255Is the border between Syria and Iraq under our control?
pst.000058162255Is there a change of policy, either formal or otherwise, with respect to integrating militias into the Iraqi security forces?
pst.000058162255Is there a leadership problem which exists, or is it simply that you ca n't get people up and running, I guess, quickly enough?
pst.000058162255Is there a motion to favorably report 3,979 military noms in the Senate?
pst.000058162255Is there more that we could and should be doing?
pst.000058162255Is there potentially a division between foreign fighters and Iraqi insurgents developing?
pst.000058162255Is this a con- cern you share?
pst.000058162255Is this a year or 2, given the flow of in- surgents, given the access to weapons?
pst.000058162255Is this true that U.S. officials armed and equipped militias, including the Defend- ers of Baghdad Brigade, prior to the elections?
pst.000058162255It is a growing problem?
pst.000058162255It was as if to say, I think: Well, so what?
pst.000058162255Let us just say, what is the average?
pst.000058162255May I make a brief comment?
pst.000058162255May I make a comment?
pst.000058162255Maybe they are poorly led, maybe they do not have all the sophistication that our troops have, but do they have the fire to fight?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman, could I just make one note?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman, could I just mention why this is important?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman, do you want the NATO numbers?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman, may I make a quick com- ment on that?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman, may I not pursue that just a mo- ment?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman?
pst.000058162255Mr. Chairman?
pst.000058162255Mr. Schlicher, do you have an opening statement?
pst.000058162255Mr. Secretary, General Myers?
pst.000058162255Mr. Secretary, do you have any objections?
pst.000058162255Mr. Secretary, would you agree with that statement?
pst.000058162255Mr. Secretary, would you give a son?
pst.000058162255Mr. Secretary?
pst.000058162255My question is this: Will that TAL for the referendum on the constitution that is to be drafted under the new assembly, will that be controlling?
pst.000058162255NATO is really heavily pulling on the oar in Afghanistan, am I not correct?
pst.000058162255Now we've gone from three to one?
pst.000058162255Now, General, could you give us an estimate as to how many insurgents there are?
pst.000058162255Now, how do you deal with that?
pst.000058162255Now, if I could just add one last thing?
pst.000058162255Now, we still might ask, “ Why has n't it improved? ” But at least it has n't gone down.
pst.000058162255On each day?
pst.000058162255One, have we lost ground in the training of the Iraqi security forces?
pst.000058162255Opposed?
pst.000058162255Or can that assembly amend the TAL?
pst.000058162255Or how does this equation work?
pst.000058162255Or is it uncertain at this time?
pst.000058162255Pardon me?
pst.000058162255Pardon?
pst.000058162255Q: Again, if only to follow up briefly, how many forces does the United States now have in Iraq?
pst.000058162255Q: And I'm sorry to press this, but where is this outside expertise coming from?
pst.000058162255Q: But if I could follow up please from this other sophistication aspect; just how sophisticated has the enemy become?
pst.000058162255Q: What's the top dollar?
pst.000058162255Question two: Do you still see it's possible to take fairly substan- tial reductions next spring?
pst.000058162255Ron, do you want to add anything?
pst.000058162255STAFF: Charlie?
pst.000058162255STAFF: Jim?
pst.000058162255STAFF: Jim?
pst.000058162255STAFF?
pst.000058162255Secretary Rumsfeld, are there any plans, draft or otherwise, to alter the 24-month maximum call- up policy?
pst.000058162255Secretary Rumsfeld, are you committed to staying in Iraq until a constitution is accepted?
pst.000058162255Secretary Rumsfeld, can you comment on that?
pst.000058162255Secretary Rumsfeld, would the Department's experience in Somalia provide any lessons learned?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz and General Myers, do you agree with that assessment?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz and General Myers, do you expect the new government to seek a definitive withdrawal timetable?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz and General Myers, have you developed metrics or decision criteria for turning over responsibilities to Iraqi forces?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz and General Myers, if asked, how would you construct such a timetable?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz and General Myers, what payments are being made with DOD funds currently, and if there are any, would you favor halting them?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz, what is your assessment as to the degree of corruption in the IIG and how concerned are you about it?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz, what level of U.S. forces would you expect us to maintain for the next 6 months or the next year?
pst.000058162255Secretary Wolfowitz, what steps is the U.S. Government tak- ing in this regard?
pst.000058162255Senator Ben Nelson?
pst.000058162255Senator Byrd, would you like to ask a question?
pst.000058162255Senator Graham?
pst.000058162255Senator Levin?
pst.000058162255Senator Sessions, could I make a comment on the comment that Senator Byrd made?
pst.000058162255Senator, if I might, could I take that?
pst.000058162255Senator, you asked me, “ Could it have an adverse effect? ” I said yes.
pst.000058162255Should these men be charged or released?
pst.000058162255So first, is it your sense that they are willing to stand and fight, if you can answer that in an open session?
pst.000058162255So is it going to take time?
pst.000058162255So that could now go into the month of April?
pst.000058162255So we are already looking at a supplemental budget for operations this year, I believe?
pst.000058162255So what is your answer to that question, if you care to?
pst.000058162255So, General Casey, can you describe the effort to continue to try to determine the fate of Captain Scott Speicher?
pst.000058162255So, have we lost ground?
pst.000058162255So, it's pretty hard to decide whether you're going to do anything in the next 6 months, is n't it, if you do n't know all these variables?
pst.000058162255So, the question is, how much does Iraq complement and help our strategy overall, which I agree with you, is a long- term battle?
pst.000058162255So, without putting words in your mouth, your impression is they are not fully engaged?
pst.000058162255Syria is facilitating this passage through money, training, equipment, and other means; is that correct?
pst.000058162255That is a State Department entity?
pst.000058162255That is for all the steps you enumerated to be completed?
pst.000058162255That is the extent of NATO involvement?
pst.000058162255That is why we went to Iraq?
pst.000058162255That is why we went to Iraq?
pst.000058162255The question you raised, I think, is the primary question before us, How does Iraq fit into that overall threat?
pst.000058162255The real question that we should address is how fast ISF will mature over the year and when will it be strong enough to fight the insurgency and win?
pst.000058162255Then what would be the furthest date?
pst.000058162255Then, Mr. Secretary, would you comment on whether the situa- tion with the Army in Iraq has affected your thinking regarding the QDR?
pst.000058162255These troops next year will be paid out of the sup- plemental budget that is going to be considered in the next few months?
pst.000058162255They need not be members of the TNA?
pst.000058162255This Constitution ſindicating), what is it about?
pst.000058162255To the extent that that is not true, what are we doing about that?
pst.000058162255Today the questions I hear are something like this: Is the effort un- derway worth the cost and the sacrifice?
pst.000058162255Today the questions I hear are something like this: • Is the effort underway in Iraq worth the cost and the sacrifice?
pst.000058162255Was there corruption involved in that, in your judgment?
pst.000058162255We talk about it in 10 years, so is the variable 10 years?
pst.000058162255What about this?
pst.000058162255What advances are we making in this arena?
pst.000058162255What are they?
pst.000058162255What are we doing about it?
pst.000058162255What are your plans to deal with this imminent problem?
pst.000058162255What are your thoughts about such discus- sions with the new Iraqi Government after it is formed in the next few months?
pst.000058162255What can we do about that?
pst.000058162255What do I mean by that?
pst.000058162255What do I mean by the “ soft stuff"?
pst.000058162255What do you know about the truth of this claim?
pst.000058162255What do you recommend to better facilitate reconstruction efforts?
pst.000058162255What does this mean in practical terms?
pst.000058162255What happens next, and should Congress set a timetable for withdrawal of U.S. troops?
pst.000058162255What is it for the Sec- retary of Defense?
pst.000058162255What is that number now?
pst.000058162255What is the current level of NATO involve- ment in training and what are the plans for increasing it?
pst.000058162255What is the longest you can currently foresee that training mission lasting?
pst.000058162255What is your es- timate of how long this level of violence can be sustained, the car bombing?
pst.000058162255What is your perception of the media coverage?
pst.000058162255What missions will no longer be under- taken?
pst.000058162255What percentage of the Iraqi units would you judge now are combat- ready?
pst.000058162255What steps are being taken to ensure Sunni participation as those elected on Sunday prepare to form a new government and draft a new constitution?
pst.000058162255What tasks will no longer be undertaken because of a lower overall troop level?
pst.000058162255What will be done about those militias now?
pst.000058162255What would you say to the average American who has that perception?
pst.000058162255What, if anything, can we do to encour- age a different result?
pst.000058162255When are the Iraqis going to fight for their own country?
pst.000058162255When are they going to start shedding that kind of blood?
pst.000058162255When will Iraqi security forces be able to assume full responsibility for securing their coun- try?
pst.000058162255Where do you see it?
pst.000058162255Where is Osama bin Laden?
pst.000058162255Where is that coming from?
pst.000058162255Which means that it will be controlling as to how that new constitution is adopted?
pst.000058162255Who can refute a sneer?
pst.000058162255Who does not?
pst.000058162255Will members of the National Guard be returned to the training base for ad- ditional training?
pst.000058162255Will those funds be in the President's budget that is submitted in the next few days?
pst.000058162255With four brigades?
pst.000058162255With the position that we are in right now, being stretched fairly significantly, what kind of credibility do our warnings have?
pst.000058162255Would I give my son, if I had a son, would I give a grandson?
pst.000058162255Would it make sense to provide those to the Iraqi Army on an expedited basis?
pst.000058162255Would that be part of the equation that you're working on for condition- based reduction?
pst.000058162255Would you allow me an interruption?
pst.000058162255Would you give a grandson?
pst.000058162255Would you give us a percentage, a rough esti- mate?
pst.000058162255Would you supply the committee with the num- ber of boots on the ground and what they have achieved in this pe- riod of time?
pst.000058162255You do not have sort of just a rough notion of how long these troops are being trained?
pst.000058162255Zarqawi has lasted a long time in Iraq — who said he was there before — was that you, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000058162255[ The chart referred to follows:] 191 Iraq Public Perception of Iraqi Security Forces ISF Winning or Losing the Battle Against Terrorists?
pst.000058162255and • What happens next, and should Congress set a timetable to withdraw?
pst.000058162255are fully trained, equipped, and ready to take on the insurgency?
pst.000058162255· Am I correct in that?
pst.000058162255• How are the coalition and the new Iraqi government really doing?
pst.000058162255• When will Iraqi security forces be able to assume full responsibility for securing their country?
uc1.b5067155114 Why did n't you proceed to question Mr. Willkie about his knowledge or involvement in this action?
uc1.b5067155134 What was Dan Hill ’s position?
uc1.b5067155135 Who specifically do you know, as a fact, was involved in those changes?
uc1.b506715526 How did it come to pass that the State Department thought Saddam was a man who could be influenced by easy credit?
uc1.b5067155?, DOCS Majority Membexs Jacx Brooxs.
uc1.b5067155About my memo?
uc1.b5067155All right and prior to joining the Foreign Service, you worked with the Agriculture Department as a foreign Affairs specialist?
uc1.b5067155Also here in washington?
uc1.b5067155Also, how much of its workings were discussed with you by the other gentlemen at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Also, is the CCC program a commercial program?
uc1.b5067155Am I aware of other instances of diversion outside of the CCC program?
uc1.b5067155Am I off on the wrong track?
uc1.b5067155Analyzed perhaps from your educational background of eco- nomics and political science?
uc1.b5067155And any responsibilities for record changes lies within that Bureau; is that right?
uc1.b5067155And in that cable — did you see that cable?
uc1.b5067155And no one has told you there was something — there was a factual difference between the two reports?
uc1.b5067155And the IG'S report has been submitted to committees of the Congress?
uc1.b5067155And the aftersales service fees of about$ 350 million at least in one instance, at what time did you gain knowledge of that?
uc1.b5067155And the discussion of the 60-odd alterations was in your report?
uc1.b5067155And the reasons for changes, you never went into those?
uc1.b5067155And then after that, did you receive a degree for that work?
uc1.b5067155And there were topic areas that you were obviously inter- ested in pursuing in this meeting; is that correct?
uc1.b5067155And this would n’t be your practice to check with them and say, “ Is this what you said to me? ” Mr. LEMAY.
uc1.b5067155And was this — were these — so I am assuming the range of time is from a few minutes to maybe even an hour?
uc1.b5067155And was your first assignment as a foreign service offi- cer a counselor officer in the Dominican Republic?
uc1.b5067155And were these to Iraq, do you recall?
uc1.b5067155And what are the responsibilities of the Special Assist- ant?
uc1.b5067155And what is the question?
uc1.b5067155And when?
uc1.b5067155And you did that work in the Dominican Republic?
uc1.b5067155And you do not know who did?
uc1.b5067155And you put them in that context at the time?
uc1.b5067155Any particular reason why not?
uc1.b5067155Are you as sure as Mr. DEGEORGE was 5 minutes ago that* was Hill and- or Kloske who were totally responsible for making those changes?
uc1.b5067155Are you aware of what actions he might have taken pursu- ant to this memorandum, from these more recent contexts?
uc1.b5067155Are you aware or did he mention to you what actions he might have taken after reading your memo?
uc1.b5067155Are you being set up?
uc1.b5067155Are you familiar with the October 20 meeting of Kevin Brosch?
uc1.b5067155As I recall from your testimony, Mr. LEMAY, you do not know with certainty who the recipients were of your October 13 memoran- dum; is that correct?
uc1.b5067155As the author of both the draft and the original, is there any difference, in your mind, between one and the other?
uc1.b5067155At the Department of State?
uc1.b5067155Between then and the time the Brosch memo surfaced, did you have occasion to talk to Kevin Brosch?
uc1.b5067155But McCormack never talked to you specifically about this memo and what kind of information you were conveying to him?
uc1.b5067155But it is clear those types of allegations did, from your recollection, did come up at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155But there was no direction from your superiors to follow through or to continue this or do anything other than what you summarized in your memorandum?
uc1.b5067155But they are the ones giving you the information, are n’t they?
uc1.b5067155But, I mean, were you surprised about the reaction that you received?
uc1.b5067155But, tell me, where do they go to get their reputations back?
uc1.b5067155Can he finish answering the question?
uc1.b5067155Can you please tell us what was your degree of familiarity with the CCC program prior to the October 13 meeting?
uc1.b5067155Can you please tell us what was your degree of familiarity with the program?
uc1.b5067155Can you point up something he May have left out of his report?
uc1.b5067155Can you specifically indicate what senior people in the Depart- ment you felt were pursuing this issue?
uc1.b5067155Can you tell me what your background was?
uc1.b5067155Chairman Gonzalez, did you request that document?
uc1.b5067155Cochran can — is that correct?
uc1.b5067155Conversely, did you receive any written or oral message from anybody at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Could you elaborate?
uc1.b5067155Could you explain the actual changes the information related to the truck licenses?
uc1.b5067155Could you fill us in on your recollections there?
uc1.b5067155Could you repeat the question?
uc1.b5067155Could you tell me a little about the reference?
uc1.b5067155Did Hill have the same assumption or just follow instructions?
uc1.b5067155Did I hear you incorrectly?
uc1.b5067155Did Mr. Kloske have knowledge of Hill ’s changes and the reason for the changes?
uc1.b5067155Did anyone think that was an exces- sive amount and has that been investigated?
uc1.b5067155Did he intend to refute anything you said by way of recol- lection as to what took place at the October 13 meeting?
uc1.b5067155Did he not have enough time for you?
uc1.b5067155Did he say whose hands it was in?
uc1.b5067155Did n't you think Secretary Baker should find out about this right away?
uc1.b5067155Did n’t you request the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Did they forget they did n’t license mili- tary trucks?
uc1.b5067155Did they tell you not to volunteer anything that was n’t di- rectly on point to the questions at hand?
uc1.b5067155Did they tell you not to volunteer anything, just answer the questions as narrowly as possible?
uc1.b5067155Did those USDA officials provide you with any memo they May have written concerning the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Did you ask for them?
uc1.b5067155Did you ask him how he happened to make the error?
uc1.b5067155Did you ask him when he found out?
uc1.b5067155Did you ask him, sir?
uc1.b5067155Did you ask whether the grain loans had been used for other purposes?
uc1.b5067155Did you believe the bureau did n’t know what it did?
uc1.b5067155Did you ever go on your own and discuss it with anybody?
uc1.b5067155Did you have to take an exam in connection with your application to become a Foreign Service officer?
uc1.b5067155Did you solicit comments from the other participants in this meeting that was held on October 13, 1989?
uc1.b5067155Did you solicit comments from the other participants present on the accuracy of your memo's description of what was said at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Did you talk to Mr. Iain Baird, Director of the Office of Export Licensing?
uc1.b5067155Did you think that was an honest error or a conscious lie?
uc1.b5067155Did you try to pursue that and find out where the files were?
uc1.b5067155Directing attention to the October 13 meeting, did you respond to an invi- tation, or did you initiate the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Diversion?
uc1.b5067155Do you agree with anything that is said there?
uc1.b5067155Do you believe that you are being allowed to walk forward as a kind of sacrificial lamb?
uc1.b5067155Do you have any idea in God ’s will why they would do it?
uc1.b5067155Do you know approximately how many people took those written and oral exams during the year that you applied for?
uc1.b5067155Do you know from your personal knowledge that it was?
uc1.b5067155Do you know who received or who sent those documents and who received them within the State Department?
uc1.b5067155Do you remember any particular kind of reactions from Mr. Hoskinson or Mr. McCormack in discussing this memo with him?
uc1.b5067155Do you remember terms, these terms coming up at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Do you swear or affirm that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
uc1.b5067155Do you think they forgot they licensed military trucks?
uc1.b5067155Do you want to add anything to that, gentlemen?
uc1.b5067155Do you want to swear them in as well?
uc1.b5067155Does Mr. Coble have any questions on this?
uc1.b5067155Does that happen frequently?
uc1.b5067155Does that sound reasonable to you all, gentlemen?
uc1.b5067155Does the gentleman seek any part of my time now?
uc1.b5067155Does this happen a lot?
uc1.b5067155Does your information conclude that that is correct or did you inquire of Kloske as to his conversations with Willkie?
uc1.b5067155Even if there was a decision that that transaction to provide food was a matter of foreign policy for the United States?
uc1.b5067155First, do you recall McElvain, do you recall that being an accurate state- ment for what McElvain has said?
uc1.b5067155First, have you discussed your testimony with anyone at the State Depart- ment before coming here today?
uc1.b5067155Give me one reason why you should n’t have interviewed Mr. Willkie?
uc1.b5067155Given all that you have been through and all that you have heard, do you know now wish you went to law school?
uc1.b5067155Guess what?
uc1.b5067155Has the State Department provided you with access to your files on Iraq to help you prepare for your testimony this morning?
uc1.b5067155Have you analyzed — I understand you have not yet analyzed the subject matter contained in the lawyer's memo and yours yet; is that cor- rect?
uc1.b5067155Have you compared the copy that is marked “ draft? ” Have you seen a copy that was actually signed by you on October 14, 1989?
uc1.b5067155Have you compared the copy that is marked “ draft? ” Have you seen a copy that was actually signed by you on October 14, 1989?
uc1.b5067155Have you had any conversations in the last couple of weeks with the former Under Secretary McCormack?
uc1.b5067155Have you heard in terms of conversations or other ref- erences, just as in the previous discussions, about that?
uc1.b5067155He did n’t know he licensed military trucks?
uc1.b5067155He thought it was an important memo, and you ca n’t specifically remember a reaction from McCormack?
uc1.b5067155He told you it was obvious?
uc1.b5067155He told you they did n't license military trucks?
uc1.b5067155Here in washington?
uc1.b5067155Hill was just the functionary for the changes?
uc1.b5067155How about in reference — do you recall hearing or seeing reference to that cable?
uc1.b5067155How can you be the Bureau of Export Administration and forget that you license military trucks?
uc1.b5067155How did it happen that ef- forts to ingratiate ourselves to Saddam Hussein persisted until the eve of the invasion?
uc1.b5067155How did this man in the licensing busi- ness suddenly recall?
uc1.b5067155How did your boss and other senior Depart- ment officials respond to the memo?
uc1.b5067155How do you know he did n’t mean that?
uc1.b5067155How long did you occupy that position?
uc1.b5067155How long was that assignment?
uc1.b5067155How long were you stationed in Colombia?
uc1.b5067155How many Agriculture officials attended?
uc1.b5067155How many, what type?
uc1.b5067155How thoroughly had you considered the program, researched it or kept abreast of the program prior to that meeting?
uc1.b5067155I am asking you whether you think that was a conscious lie or an honest error?
uc1.b5067155I am not really — does it happen frequently?
uc1.b5067155I am sorry, sir, would you repeat the question?
uc1.b5067155I do n’t recall going in and saying, gee, Mr. McCormack, why did they take this away from you?
uc1.b5067155I have not been in washington very long but$ 1 million is still a lot to me, but did you think that$ 350 million was a lot of money?
uc1.b5067155I have this — has my time expired?
uc1.b5067155I mean, is that basi- cally what you were talking about at the time?
uc1.b5067155I need to know — can you hear me?
uc1.b5067155I think to have Mr. Willkie — I beg your pardon?
uc1.b5067155If he did, are we to assume Kloske made the same mistake, an assumption that they did n’t handle the military trucks?
uc1.b5067155If it is a meeting, it is a memo, right?
uc1.b5067155In my memo?
uc1.b5067155In your investigation, did you uncover any evidence to suggest to you that changes in the license records involved criminal intent?
uc1.b5067155In your report there is not much evidence of the reasons for changing; correct?
uc1.b5067155Is it characteristic that files of such a meeting, in your experience, are just not there?
uc1.b5067155Is it fair to say that when you set this thing up, you did not expect this to be considered just routine and therefore laid aside?
uc1.b5067155Is n’t it odd Mr. Hill, who works there as an export licenser — you say he told you they did n’t license military trucks when, in fact, they do?
uc1.b5067155Is n’t it odd that you did n’t wonder how he happened — it slipped his mind they licensed military trucks?
uc1.b5067155Is that correct?
uc1.b5067155Is that correctly from your document?
uc1.b5067155Is that documentation satisfactory?
uc1.b5067155Is that going to appear now in the record at this point?
uc1.b5067155Is that my under- standing?
uc1.b5067155Is that unusual, to have one bank being the lead bank to this extent for billions of dollars?
uc1.b5067155Is that unusual?
uc1.b5067155Is that your request; is that your suggestion?
uc1.b5067155Is this Iran or Iraq you are talking about?
uc1.b5067155It was a time problem and staff resources?
uc1.b5067155It was not a discussion to come to a conclusion as to any specific fact, was it?
uc1.b5067155It was n’t your intention there to put facts in that conclusionary comment — is that correct?
uc1.b5067155It was written for internal consumption in the Department?
uc1.b5067155Just to repeat, within the last few weeks you and former Under Secretary McCormack — what is he doing now?
uc1.b5067155Kloske was involved in 11 and Hill was involved in how many?
uc1.b5067155Kloske?
uc1.b5067155Like Sam Hoskinson, you talked with him about the mat- ter?
uc1.b5067155May I answer, sir?
uc1.b5067155May I finish?
uc1.b5067155May I inquire as to whether the copy that was given to you from whatever source that is marked draft is signed or unsigned?
uc1.b5067155May I read the letter to you?
uc1.b5067155Meeting in Atlanta?
uc1.b5067155More importantly the alterations to the submissions to Barnard?
uc1.b5067155Mr. Brosch, of course, is an attorney?
uc1.b5067155Mr. Chairman, MAY I inquire as to whether or not prior to this moment the witnesses have been advised that they would be under oath?
uc1.b5067155Mr. Cochran, was this the first audit that you have done in the IG'S of fice?
uc1.b5067155Mr. DEGEORGE, it is your testimony that of 60-odd alterations, most of them were inconsequential; is that correct?
uc1.b5067155Mr. LEMAY, do you swear that the testimony you are about to give is the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth?
uc1.b5067155Mr. LEMAY, what is your background, your educational background?
uc1.b5067155No, but was it based on the information contained in your memo'?
uc1.b5067155No?
uc1.b5067155Nobody told them to do it; they just did it?
uc1.b5067155Normally an unidentified person would n't mean much, but this one proved to be true later, is that right?
uc1.b5067155Not then or since then?
uc1.b5067155Now did Kloske have knowledge of Hill ’s changes?
uc1.b5067155Now, Mr. LEMAY, were you surprised when nobody got back to you after you submitted the memo?
uc1.b5067155Now, if the foreign Government fails to pay back the loans, guess who does?
uc1.b5067155Now, were there other persons like yourself, that brought this matter to the attention of the Department of State?
uc1.b5067155Now, why are we talking about this here?
uc1.b5067155Now, why did you decide to conduct merely an audit of the alteration of records?
uc1.b5067155Nuclear- fuel compounder?
uc1.b5067155OK. Let me ask you, would you have had any motivation to make this up?
uc1.b5067155OK. Let me ask you: Were you satisfied with the findings of the IG report that came out?
uc1.b5067155OK. My definition of intent?
uc1.b5067155Of those that pass the written test and give oral inter- views, how many pass the oral interviews?
uc1.b5067155On about October 1989, you would have no other rea- son to go back and continually pursue the document on a daily basis?
uc1.b5067155On this subject?
uc1.b5067155On what grounds was it refused?
uc1.b5067155Or, was it one in which, apparently, the allegations are, you were trying to run away from?
uc1.b5067155Other than your boss?
uc1.b5067155Parties in exchange for military hardware?
uc1.b5067155So MAY I take it then when you last saw it you did n’t see such denomination “ not for the system ” on the document?
uc1.b5067155So in all likelihood it was a draft?
uc1.b5067155So the application process begins with you, say, over 17,000 people a year?
uc1.b5067155So there was disagreement within the State Department it- self?
uc1.b5067155So there was no intent in the change from the audit letter of, the audit outline of 3/13 to finally to delete reasons as to why these were changed?
uc1.b5067155So would this be a typical kind of memo from you to your superior on what we would call an average conversation you were asked to report upon?
uc1.b5067155So you completed what the program was designed to consist of?
uc1.b5067155So you did n't think Secretary Baker should receive it right away?
uc1.b5067155So you did not uncover any evidence to suggest changes were part of a conscious effort of deception?
uc1.b5067155So you did n’t place it on the document?
uc1.b5067155So you have no instructions on how to handle it or any- thing like that?
uc1.b5067155So you would n't measure by the results, you would measure it, then, by the State of mind of the individual involved, would you?
uc1.b5067155So your testimony is that you have a specific recollec- tion that after the meeting you returned to your office used your Wang and typed up the draft?
uc1.b5067155Staff assistant ’s name being?
uc1.b5067155That arose from the subject matter of your memo?
uc1.b5067155That brought this to the attention of the Department of State, or to policymakers in the Department of State?
uc1.b5067155That did n't cause you any concern?
uc1.b5067155That is such an obvious error — if you are an investigator would n’t you have asked him why he made such an obvious error?
uc1.b5067155That is the October 13 meeting; is that correct?
uc1.b5067155That was not part of your job?
uc1.b5067155That was the substance basically of the memo, was it not?
uc1.b5067155The alterations to the data base?
uc1.b5067155The charger?
uc1.b5067155The question, having read that, is that a fair statement?
uc1.b5067155The rest of the submissions are just like that?
uc1.b5067155The sentence beginning where documents indicate or the very bottom of page 2,011?
uc1.b5067155Then you were asked to become Special As- sistant to the Under Secretary of State for Economic and Agricultural Af- fairs?
uc1.b5067155Then you were sent to Bogotá, Colombia; is that right?
uc1.b5067155Then your next job was staff assistant to the Assistant Secretary of State for Latin America Affairs?
uc1.b5067155There was n’t any gossip that went around about the memo and this issue and it being transferred to another Under Secretary?
uc1.b5067155They all willingly shrugged their shoulders and said, I guess someone else needs to handle this?
uc1.b5067155They never gave your boss any reason that you know of why it got transferred?
uc1.b5067155They said they were not there?
uc1.b5067155This is n’t the first memo you have written?
uc1.b5067155Two memos from McCormack to?
uc1.b5067155Under Mr. Kloske?
uc1.b5067155Was it distributed to other participants, participants at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155Was it something that someone said in the meeting or was that just your characterization?
uc1.b5067155Was it they had n’t licensed any for 1 week and 133 it slipped their mind?
uc1.b5067155Was that a political conclusion or a legal conclusion — your conclusions and comments when you talk about “ smoke, ” “ fire? ” Mr. LEMAY.
uc1.b5067155Was that at the October 13 meeting or did you have some sort of paper indication prior to that?
uc1.b5067155Was that the first time you saw that interlineation on the document?
uc1.b5067155Was this really necessary, and what do we have to show for that time and money?
uc1.b5067155We do n’t know, even though it is dated October 20, 1989, when it was actually prepared; do we?
uc1.b5067155Weaver, DEGEORGE, Cochran — find any evidence of criminality on behalf of any Government em- ployee in all of your investigations?
uc1.b5067155Well, why would n't you?
uc1.b5067155Well, would they prefer to submit their statements and submit to written questions?
uc1.b5067155Were there a long line of other people preceding you?
uc1.b5067155Were there any individuals or personalities whether foreign or domestic that you wanted to inquire about at the October 13 meeting?
uc1.b5067155Were there any other objectives of your audit?
uc1.b5067155Were there less than 10 of these or more than 10 of these kinds of encounters?
uc1.b5067155Were these altered records, by the way, produced to anyone other than your subcommittee?
uc1.b5067155Were they involved in the decisionmaking process on how to produce export license record information to your committee?
uc1.b5067155Were they longer, shorter?
uc1.b5067155Were they told it now looks like something other than an economic issue, or did you ever ask your boss why did we lose this oversight?
uc1.b5067155Were you the only State Department representative at the meeting?
uc1.b5067155What did I do to find out why?
uc1.b5067155What did he say?
uc1.b5067155What did you do to find out why?
uc1.b5067155What did you know about Iraq and the CCC program prior to your October 13, 1989, meeting?
uc1.b5067155What did you take it to mean?
uc1.b5067155What is his position?
uc1.b5067155What is the name of the individual to whom you deliv- ered the copies or did you deliver an original and copies or only an original for distribution?
uc1.b5067155What is your definition of intent?
uc1.b5067155What office is that?
uc1.b5067155What reason did Kloske give and what reason did Hill give for making the alterations they did?
uc1.b5067155What was the charge?
uc1.b5067155What was the reaction to your memo at the State Department?
uc1.b5067155What was the source of the document you received yesterday?
uc1.b5067155What were your bachelors or arts degrees in?
uc1.b5067155When did you know it was taken away from him?
uc1.b5067155When he found out?
uc1.b5067155When he told you he did n’t license military trucks, did you think he had forgotten, that he did n’t know?
uc1.b5067155When you said you had done your homework on it, what was your General view of it before you went into the meeting?
uc1.b5067155While you were at Johns Hopkins Graduate School?
uc1.b5067155Who Said “ blow the lid off CCC? ” Mr. LEMAY.
uc1.b5067155Who Said “ blow the lid off the CCC four- alarm blast? ” It was quite incendiary language in that memo.
uc1.b5067155Who made the change?
uc1.b5067155Who made the changes?
uc1.b5067155Who said it is obvious they do n’t license military vehicles?
uc1.b5067155Who was the authority for it?
uc1.b5067155Who was the final authority for the changes?
uc1.b5067155Whose memo; his memo?
uc1.b5067155Why are we interested in what Hill thought?
uc1.b5067155Why did n't you finish this investigation?
uc1.b5067155Why does this body continue to exempt themselves from the laws they impose on others?
uc1.b5067155Why was it changed?
uc1.b5067155Why was it so easy to override regulatory mechanisms intended to prevent abuse of the CCC program?
uc1.b5067155Why were none of these people interviewed?
uc1.b5067155Will he be sworn in?
uc1.b5067155Will the gentleman yield, since you invoked my name?
uc1.b5067155Will the gentleman yield?
uc1.b5067155Will the gentleman yield?
uc1.b5067155Will the gentleman yield?
uc1.b5067155With- out this phenomenal armament by Saddam, would we have had the war at all?
uc1.b5067155Within that office?
uc1.b5067155Would a successful deception effort necessarily have involved changing the records of additional licenses?
uc1.b5067155Would it involve any possible violations of law as this di- version did?
uc1.b5067155Would it surprise you?
uc1.b5067155Would n’t it be more important what Kloske thought the des- ignation was, rather than what Hill thought?
uc1.b5067155Would other people know of this?
uc1.b5067155Would the gentleman yield?
uc1.b5067155Would you agree with me on that?
uc1.b5067155Would you also agree the direct evidence would be to inquire of an individual why they did certain things?
uc1.b5067155Would you, in the regular course of business, then, sign the version that would be the final copy in quotes and available for distribution?
uc1.b5067155You are not in a position to tell us at this point with what degree of dili- gence these things were subsequently investigated?
uc1.b5067155You are sure of that?
uc1.b5067155You continued your status as a foreign service officer?
uc1.b5067155You did it yourself?
uc1.b5067155You did n’t know he had done a memo?
uc1.b5067155You did n’t try to find out why he told you?
uc1.b5067155You in this case, as you said, were given a charge; is that correct?
uc1.b5067155You requested the meeting?
uc1.b5067155You said that you later saw a copy that was marked “ not for the system. ” When was this that you saw that?
uc1.b5067155You say you said"May have, ”"May have been diverted? ” Mr. LEMAY.
uc1.b5067155You still State that that was Mr. Kloske and Mr. Hill and them alone; is that right?
uc1.b5067155You talked with the Under Secretary then, Richard McCor- mack, about this matter?
uc1.b5067155You think they did it on their own?
uc1.b5067155You want me to read that although additional research needs to be done?
uc1.b5067155You went to Agriculture for the meeting?
uc1.b5067155You were deputy Director of the economic section?
uc1.b5067155You were not?
uc1.b5067155You were promoted to become a policy planning officer for economic Affairs in the Bureau of Latin America Affairs, is that right?
uc1.b5067155You would say this is over a 2 to 3 week period leading up to the October 13 meeting?
uc1.b5067155You would sign the draft as well?
uc1.b5067155You wrote this memo, clearly contemporaneously, with no idea it was to be made public; is that correct?
uc1.b5067155Your background is not in law; it is in economics and politi- cal Science?
uc1.b5067155and the questions will have to be in by — what kind of period of time?
uc1.b5067155“ The administration did n’t want criticism during the Iraqi engagement. ” Do you know anything about that?
uc1.31822028850576190 What was the reasoning given for doing this and focusing on this particular type of program?
uc1.31822028850576Absent U.N. approval?
uc1.31822028850576After he further builds his forces, which are stronger and deadlier with each passing day?
uc1.31822028850576And 106 also, should that vision of disarmament be included in a U.N. Secu- rity Council resolution calling for such disarmament?
uc1.31822028850576And I have been struggling with that question, when is it appropriate to have preemptive strikes?
uc1.31822028850576And I might mention, Mr. Schrock, we are going to try to keep this hearing going because General Clark has to leave at what time General 11:30?
uc1.31822028850576And I suspect that the President had been briefed on this information before he made his statement in August?
uc1.31822028850576And critically, must we act now?
uc1.31822028850576And how large is that box?
uc1.31822028850576And how many weapons in two or three years?
uc1.31822028850576And if they do, how long would it take them to con- struct the device?
uc1.31822028850576And if you are a pretty healthy individual, does that mean that we should act like a big bully and not reach out?
uc1.31822028850576And now would you deal with our number one issue?
uc1.31822028850576And once it came here, how would it be used as a weapon?
uc1.31822028850576And second, how many biological sites did he visit?
uc1.31822028850576And that, for me, is the bottom line of where I come to, where should we go next?
uc1.31822028850576And the other issue that I wanted to raise was the question that is being asked of me is basically what will this war look like?
uc1.31822028850576And then what does that do to our situation there in the whole Middle East?
uc1.31822028850576And to note, Mr. Saxton, do you have any final thoughts or questions here?
uc1.31822028850576And what did the administration do at that time?
uc1.31822028850576And would you like to say why?
uc1.31822028850576And, Mr. Skelton, did you have any other questions that you wanted to ask the witnesses?
uc1.31822028850576And, if so, what sort of commitment would that be?
uc1.31822028850576And, in particular, are we ready to have forces in an environment where weapons of mass destruction may be used against them?
uc1.31822028850576And, what is your comment about the stretching of the troops and the deployment?
uc1.31822028850576And, where would that leave us?
uc1.31822028850576Another question that has been asked is where is the smoking gun?
uc1.31822028850576Any that you can reveal?
uc1.31822028850576Are Security Council resolutions to be honored and enforced, or cast aside without consequence?
uc1.31822028850576Are the local forces to be in charge, General, or is the Northern Command supposed to be in charge of I guess, national civil defense?
uc1.31822028850576Are there any — is there any advice that you would like to give us on those pieces of legislation?
uc1.31822028850576Are they or are they not?
uc1.31822028850576Are we talking about 15 or 20?
uc1.31822028850576Are we talking about half a dozen?
uc1.31822028850576Are we talking about two or three?
uc1.31822028850576Are we to assume that he stopped when they left?"
uc1.31822028850576Are you able to com- ment on that?
uc1.31822028850576Assuming you get where?
uc1.31822028850576At some point is he capable of doing this?
uc1.31822028850576But after the decision is made and after that ac- tion is taken?
uc1.31822028850576But is Saddam Hussein, in the long run, deterrable?
uc1.31822028850576But my question goes back to something that — really what Mr. Allen was talking about, this whole issue of “ Why now?
uc1.31822028850576But nonetheless, simple things like that are impor- tant for your weapons programs, are they not?
uc1.31822028850576But the question then becomes what happens 334 next?
uc1.31822028850576But, did they destroy the physical facilities?
uc1.31822028850576But, how often were they being inspected?
uc1.31822028850576But, in turn, how does that affect the human factor?
uc1.31822028850576Ca n't we just take out the capabilities he has that threaten us?
uc1.31822028850576Can I answer, Mr. Chairman, for the record?
uc1.31822028850576Can I stop you for just a minute?
uc1.31822028850576Can you conceive of a situation where we really would not necessarily need to dismantle the under- ground network of weapons that they may have?
uc1.31822028850576Can you give us a ballpark?
uc1.31822028850576Can you tell us how many countries and who?
uc1.31822028850576Can you tell us in helping us to decide these questions what led you to that conclusion?
uc1.31822028850576Can you very briefly tell us of the success and the destruction of any weapons of mass destruction or parts thereof that you found?
uc1.31822028850576Correct me if I am wrong, but is this a De- partment of Defense- controlled matter or is it Homeland Security?
uc1.31822028850576Could I add one thing?
uc1.31822028850576Could I chime in a little bit for Congressman Spratt?
uc1.31822028850576Could we conclude from the failure to unearth illegal activity that none existed?
uc1.31822028850576Could we do it without their help?
uc1.31822028850576Could you address that?
uc1.31822028850576Could you comment on that and how long and how you are going about getting them up to speed for what may be a new operation?
uc1.31822028850576Could you explain that in a little more detail?
uc1.31822028850576Could you help us define what those parameters would be?
uc1.31822028850576Did anybody in- tentionally arm Iraq with this kind of materials that would develop materials of mass destruction?
uc1.31822028850576Did it start when the in- spectors left in 1998 or is it starting, as some people would like to say, maybe not until today?
uc1.31822028850576Did that report indicate the economic catastrophe that would be caused by such havoc?
uc1.31822028850576Did we learn anything from this?
uc1.31822028850576Did we really improve things with respect to the flow of militarily useful technology out of the West?
uc1.31822028850576Did you ever order these tubes yourself?
uc1.31822028850576Did you get a chance in the last panel?
uc1.31822028850576Did you have access to Israeli intelligence?
uc1.31822028850576Did you have any conversations with him?
uc1.31822028850576Did you want my comment on that?
uc1.31822028850576Do I think that the United States will have to make large in- creases?
uc1.31822028850576Do inspec- tions work or not, and how could they work, and will we achieve the goal of disarmament?
uc1.31822028850576Do inspections work?
uc1.31822028850576Do the risks of taking action to stop that threat outweigh these risks of living in the world we see?
uc1.31822028850576Do we have any evidence then, Dr. Spertzel, that there is any linkage between Iraq and the terror- ists?
uc1.31822028850576Do we have the forces, fiscal resources, munitions, and other military capabilities to wage both campaigns effectively?
uc1.31822028850576Do we have the forces, fiscal resources, munitions, and other military capabilities to wage both campaigns effectively?
uc1.31822028850576Do you agree or disagree with Senator Lugar on that issue?
uc1.31822028850576Do you agree with that statement?
uc1.31822028850576Do you agree with that?
uc1.31822028850576Do you agree with that?
uc1.31822028850576Do you believe it is our responsibility to wait for a nuclear, chemical or biological 9/11?
uc1.31822028850576Do you believe that if we do nothing, five years from now he is a bigger threat or lesser threat?
uc1.31822028850576Do you care to comment, both of you?
uc1.31822028850576Do you feel you would have that type of coopera- tion?
uc1.31822028850576Do you gentlemen feel like we are getting the cooperation we need from our friends and allies in other Arab countries in the region?
uc1.31822028850576Do you have a percentage idea?
uc1.31822028850576Do you have any knowledge of that or do you know of oil companies that are dealing with Saddam?
uc1.31822028850576Do you need any allies that we do n’t have today to accomplish a regime change by force if you were directed to do so?
uc1.31822028850576Do you see a need to increase our military presence within Af- ghanistan in response to this resurgent threat of violence and in- stability?
uc1.31822028850576Do you view a regime change as a net of self- defense, a regime change in Iraq as an act of self- defense of this country?
uc1.31822028850576Do you want to go through all the questions or one at a time?
uc1.31822028850576Do you want to take 30 seconds?
uc1.31822028850576Do you want to take about a five- minute administrative break here to see if there is anything you have to do with your — here?
uc1.31822028850576Does anyone expect it to be unanimous?
uc1.31822028850576Does anyone really want Saddam Hussein to have the same deterrence so that he could invade his neighbors with impunity?
uc1.31822028850576Does anyone really want Saddam to have that same deterrent, so he can invade his neighbors with impunity?
uc1.31822028850576Does he decide to hang onto a nuclear and chem- ical last- resort capability as a trump card?
uc1.31822028850576Does it matter that it will not be unanimous?
uc1.31822028850576Does that concern you if government is giving that kind of order to our nuclear experts?
uc1.31822028850576Does that give you cause for concern?
uc1.31822028850576Dr. Hamza, do you have any comment on that?
uc1.31822028850576Dr. Hamza, how often?
uc1.31822028850576From 1998, when he kicked out the inspectors?
uc1.31822028850576From the gentleman who asked me the question, the third part of it when we broke was about why do the inspec- tions, and what if they do n’t work?
uc1.31822028850576From today?
uc1.31822028850576From your perspective working with international organizations, what are the benefits of a multilateral approach to addressing this problem?
uc1.31822028850576General Myers?
uc1.31822028850576Has Scott Ritter gone crazy?
uc1.31822028850576Has the administration given any thought of how to pay for the war?
uc1.31822028850576Have we communicated that perfectly?
uc1.31822028850576Have you had any conversations about how to pay for it?
uc1.31822028850576He took it over personally?
uc1.31822028850576How can I answer my constituents on those issues?
uc1.31822028850576How can this not inhibit the readiness of UNMOVIC to issue any such damning report, re- gardless of Iraq's actual behavior?
uc1.31822028850576How can we build a stable and a democratic Iraq that takes all major groups, Shia, Sunni, Kurd into account?
uc1.31822028850576How can we build a stable and democratic Iraq that takes all major groups — Shi'a, Sunni, and Kurd — into account?
uc1.31822028850576How can we build a stable and democratic Iraq that takes all major groups — Shi'a, Sunni, and Kurd — into account?
uc1.31822028850576How can we free for export something we are accusing the Iraqis of importing to make atomic bombs?
uc1.31822028850576How could such a large U.S. effort be sustained?
uc1.31822028850576How could you make them work?
uc1.31822028850576How do we know?
uc1.31822028850576How do we minimize the risk of casualties from Iraqi weapons of mass destruction or from sustained urban combat operations?
uc1.31822028850576How do you get to be President?
uc1.31822028850576How do you know that you do n’t have four months?
uc1.31822028850576How do you see the security balance in the region with respect to U.S. interests when Saddam Hussein acquires nu- clear systems?
uc1.31822028850576How far away were you at that time?
uc1.31822028850576How far away, in your best estimate would that be for him?
uc1.31822028850576How important is this issue for policymaking purposes over the coming weeks and months?
uc1.31822028850576How intense would the inspections have to be?
uc1.31822028850576How is it to support it other than by standing there nodding its head?
uc1.31822028850576How is the setup of the Northern Command supposed to aid and assist in one iota what Representative Taylor was putting forward?
uc1.31822028850576How large would the box be?
uc1.31822028850576How long do you think it would take to complete such a pro- gram to the satisfaction of those of you entrusted with the respon- sibility?
uc1.31822028850576How long is the incubation period?
uc1.31822028850576How long is time on our side?
uc1.31822028850576How long would we have before the vote would begin?
uc1.31822028850576How many of those 3,000 people would likely survive that attack?
uc1.31822028850576How much of a quantity would you need?
uc1.31822028850576How much would it take to have two, three and four?
uc1.31822028850576How robust is the Iraqi program at weaponizing these agents?
uc1.31822028850576How will the United States ensure that we continue to have international support for our efforts against al Qaeda?
uc1.31822028850576How will we handle members of the Baath party and those Scientists and engineers that designed Iraq ’s WMD programs?
uc1.31822028850576How will we handle members of the Baath party and those scientists and engineers that designed Iraq ’s WMD programs?
uc1.31822028850576How would it solve in the future?
uc1.31822028850576How would you envision that?
uc1.31822028850576I already have had plenty of time here at the mike and I think — Ike, are you okay?
uc1.31822028850576I bet I could ask you, did you find anybody that said, “ Gee, when am I going to go home?
uc1.31822028850576I grant you it is a reach to assume that there is a change in position of the cur- rent Iraqi regime, but if there were, would that be enough?
uc1.31822028850576I guess my bottom- line question is how long would you mess around with that?
uc1.31822028850576I know Iraq complains that they have an 376 Is this it?
uc1.31822028850576I mean, do we wear our troops out?
uc1.31822028850576I mean, if something flares up somewhere else, are we going to be in a tough situation?
uc1.31822028850576If Saddam Hussein believes that we are determined to take him out no matter what he does, what reason does he have to cooperate in any measure?
uc1.31822028850576If he had no weapons of mass destruction, why would he not let the inspectors in with full rein?
uc1.31822028850576If it is a strong man, will it be any better?
uc1.31822028850576If it is not a serious problem, why should n't we go ahead and make economic hay while we can?
uc1.31822028850576If so, which department or agency, which state or local governments have to do what?
uc1.31822028850576If that happens, would that satisfy the administra- tion's goals?
uc1.31822028850576If that were in place for a year, could you comfortably come back and assure us that the scenario I just laid out would not happen?
uc1.31822028850576If they were to choose to use smallpox to launch an attack on the United States, how would they do it?
uc1.31822028850576If we can not maintain an adequate and military industrial base, are we not putting our national security at some risk?
uc1.31822028850576If we need a regime change in Iraq, do we also need regime changes in Iran and North Korea?
uc1.31822028850576If you are not engaged in a prohibited activity, why would you forego$ 120 billion of oil revenue?
uc1.31822028850576In other words, what does the future hold for us once victory is achieved?
uc1.31822028850576In your estimation, is that dangerous?
uc1.31822028850576In your estimation, would that be available?
uc1.31822028850576In your opinion, had we not gone into Iraq at that time, where would Saddam Hussein be today regard- ing the development of a nuclear weapon?
uc1.31822028850576Is Saddam Hussein in the long run deterrable?
uc1.31822028850576Is it just Saddam Hussein?
uc1.31822028850576Is it possible to make more accurate predictions this time around?
uc1.31822028850576Is n’t that true?
uc1.31822028850576Is that a fair characterization, General Clark?
uc1.31822028850576Is that a scenario that you find plausible?
uc1.31822028850576Is that about your un- derstanding?
uc1.31822028850576Is that all right, Mr. Taylor?
uc1.31822028850576Is that happening and, if so, why; and what you hope to gain by it?
uc1.31822028850576Is that right?
uc1.31822028850576Is that something that you all have looked at, about the potential health monitoring, health effects, costs on veterans'health services?
uc1.31822028850576Is that still the case, General Myers?
uc1.31822028850576Is that unrealistic to picture as a possibility?
uc1.31822028850576Is the Department of Defense going to participate in some way other than consulting?
uc1.31822028850576Is the Northern Command supposed to consult with the 50 States?
uc1.31822028850576Is there a chance that there is right now an operat- ing centrifuge facility in Iraq that we simply do n’t know about?
uc1.31822028850576Is there any evidence to support that kind of purpose?
uc1.31822028850576Is there ongoing conversation that we know of between hº countries and Iraq with respect to weapons of mass destruc- tion?
uc1.31822028850576Khidhir Hamza, is that close enough for government work?
uc1.31822028850576Like the proverbial dog chasing the car, what will we do when we catch it?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Chairman, if I may, can I go back a couple of hours to a comment, maybe it was an hour and a half ago, that Mr. Ortiz made?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Chairman, may I just make one com- ment to Congressman Kirk?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Chairman, will you indulge me?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Chairman, would you like me to pause now?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Graham, did you ask a question last time?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. McIntyre, do you have any questions?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Perle, would you give us your opinion?
uc1.31822028850576Mr. Secretary, how would we know we had a re- gime that really wants to disarm?
uc1.31822028850576My question is, are there international and global corporations that are also dealing in breaking the sanctions in dealing with Sad- dam Hussein?
uc1.31822028850576My question is, what evidence is there that Saddam Hussein is likely to make an offensive move against either his allies or the United States?
uc1.31822028850576My question to you is, sir, why is your legislative shop over on the Senate side telling them that we do n’t need one of these in every state?
uc1.31822028850576Nobody asked “ What are these buildings doing here?
uc1.31822028850576Now we have managed to- you managed to help dis- mantle one biological site at Al Hakam, right?
uc1.31822028850576Now, how would you do that, though?
uc1.31822028850576Obviously, other facilities that we did n't know about were being opened up and were operating; is that right?
uc1.31822028850576Oh, excuse me, General Myers, did you have a statement also?
uc1.31822028850576One is when can we expect to see the public release of the Defense Science Board study on the CVNX?
uc1.31822028850576Or from earlier, when inspectors were still in country?
uc1.31822028850576Or is he finished either way?
uc1.31822028850576Or is it the responsibility of free people to do something now — to take steps to deal with the threat before we are attacked?
uc1.31822028850576Or is the risk of doing nothing greater than the risk of acting?
uc1.31822028850576Or will Iraq continue its established pattern of deception, denial, and concealment?
uc1.31822028850576Or, is there a possibility of a true, peaceful transition to a responsible state in addition thereto?
uc1.31822028850576Overflight rights to help us do it or various types of port access or base access or money or troops?
uc1.31822028850576Perhaps the most frequently asked question put to me by various Europeans is, “ Why now?
uc1.31822028850576Seeing the kind of grief that 3,000 casualties caused, what if he could cause 30,000 casualties or 300,000 casualties?
uc1.31822028850576Shall I take a crack at that?
uc1.31822028850576So after the arrival of letter, Iraqi armed forces fired on coalition aircraft implementing a U.N. resolution?
uc1.31822028850576So if individuals — would they pour this into the heating, ventilation, air conditioning( HVAC) system of a building?
uc1.31822028850576So in getting to drawing a line in the sand and differentiating in terms of policy, who is next?
uc1.31822028850576So my question is, having learned this difficult lesson, is there any ad- vice that you would recommend with respect to this act?
uc1.31822028850576So the answer is, if you were directed by the appro- priate authorities in this country to implement by force a regime change, you could do that?
uc1.31822028850576So the question for our witnesses is, what can still be done before we must compel Iraq with the use of the American military?
uc1.31822028850576So we were wrong, were n't we, at that time?
uc1.31822028850576So why am I worried?
uc1.31822028850576So why would you tell us to move, knowing what you know men- tally about the person we are dealing with?
uc1.31822028850576So within 2 or 3 weeks, if 400 people were in- fected, what is your best estimate as to how many would be in- fected 2 or 3 weeks from now?
uc1.31822028850576So you would not tell me how you would vote?
uc1.31822028850576So, Dr. Cohen, what is your choice?
uc1.31822028850576So, I mean, what do you have?
uc1.31822028850576So, I think the key issue is how we move from here and what do we need to do to deal with this threat?
uc1.31822028850576So, in addition to just taking that loophole out, what else would you do?
uc1.31822028850576So, where do we go from here?
uc1.31822028850576Some ask does the U.S. needs UN support?
uc1.31822028850576Some ask, but will they help us?
uc1.31822028850576Some ask: What has changed to warrant action now?
uc1.31822028850576Some ask: Why does he have to be overthrown?
uc1.31822028850576Some ask: now that Iraq has agreed to"unconditional inspections, ” why does Congress need to act?
uc1.31822028850576Some have asked what are the incentives for Iraq to comply — is there is anything the Iraqi regime could do to forestall military action?
uc1.31822028850576Some have asked whether military intervention in Iraq means the U.S. would have to go to war with every terrorist state that is pursuing WMD?
uc1.31822028850576Some have asked: why not just contain him?
uc1.31822028850576Spertzel, it is not a lie when you are ordered to lie. ” Where do you go from there?
uc1.31822028850576Tell me about the nuclear reactor that the Israelis destroyed in- was it 1982?
uc1.31822028850576Tell me again, if the Iraqis had 40 kilograms of fissile material, what is your estimate of the time to a workable weapon?
uc1.31822028850576That means facilities, sites?
uc1.31822028850576That raises the question: 5- 7 years from when?
uc1.31822028850576That this is what now?
uc1.31822028850576That would be pretty logical strategy for Saddam, would n't it?
uc1.31822028850576The next question, though, is what about the overdeployment of these troops?
uc1.31822028850576The question comes down to this, how will the history of this era be recorded?
uc1.31822028850576The question comes down to this: how will the history of this era be recorded?
uc1.31822028850576The question facing us is this: What is the responsible course of action for our country?
uc1.31822028850576The question facing us is this: what is the responsible course of action for our country?
uc1.31822028850576The question is asked: why not deal with them first?
uc1.31822028850576The question is, under what cir- cumstances, with what countries, and after what kind of a decade- long record ought one to put their faith in those?
uc1.31822028850576The real question is not why now, but why not years ago?
uc1.31822028850576The real question is not “ why now? ” but “ why not years ago? ” Almost as important as regime change is what follows.
uc1.31822028850576The real question is not “ why now? ” but “ why not years ago? ” Almost as important as regime change is what follows.
uc1.31822028850576Then how can you say with any certainty that time is on your side?
uc1.31822028850576Then how do we really know we really got all the weapons of mass destruction out of there?
uc1.31822028850576Then why is iraq pursuing WMD so aggressively?
uc1.31822028850576Thus far, that has kept them from building appar- ently a centrifuge plant, an enrichment plant, has it not?
uc1.31822028850576To ten billion?
uc1.31822028850576To that, I would ask: when?
uc1.31822028850576Unless Saddam Hussein changes who he is and the way he believes, it is a fruitless effort?
uc1.31822028850576Was that reactor devoted to the weapons program?
uc1.31822028850576We somehow forget that today when we have broken our ties with the common sense past, have n't we?
uc1.31822028850576Well, if things do n't go quite as smoothly as we think, could we incur as much as 10,000 U.S. casualties?
uc1.31822028850576Well, when you say they are already over the pilot plant stage, you think there is a chance that they may have enough material now to make a bomb?
uc1.31822028850576Well, why do n’t we just be honest with people?
uc1.31822028850576Well, why not deal with them first, the question goes?
uc1.31822028850576What approaches short of an invasion and regime change could help destroy Iraqi weapons of mass destruction?
uc1.31822028850576What are our prospects in such a case?
uc1.31822028850576What are our prospects in such a case?
uc1.31822028850576What are our prospects in such a case?
uc1.31822028850576What are they going to do?
uc1.31822028850576What are your comments on that, and what are your sugges- tions?
uc1.31822028850576What chances are there for anarchy?
uc1.31822028850576What choices are we left with?
uc1.31822028850576What do past cases tell us about how a future war conducted largely in the streets of Baghdad might play out?
uc1.31822028850576What do we do with the various scientists and en- gineers the day after?
uc1.31822028850576What do we know for sure about Iraqi capabilities at this point and what information do we have to infer based on imperfect knowledge?
uc1.31822028850576What do you mean by that language?
uc1.31822028850576What do you think should be our adequate response to Iraq were they to use biological and chemical weapons on our servicemen?
uc1.31822028850576What else are we putting in place through these actions and how do you think we would mitigate against that for the future?
uc1.31822028850576What else can one ask for?
uc1.31822028850576What happened to the fissile material that you had at the time of the Gulf War?
uc1.31822028850576What happens after we re- move Saddam Hussein from power, he and his regime, hopefully with a coalition?
uc1.31822028850576What has changed? ” And one of the comments that you made, Doctor, was that we are not talking about a rational person.
uc1.31822028850576What have you accomplished?
uc1.31822028850576What if they were authorized to take the scientists out of country, noncoercively but take them out of country for ques- tioning and interrogation?
uc1.31822028850576What is 61 different from this moment in time than the last four years or the next year or two?
uc1.31822028850576What is going to hap- pen?

pur1.32754062231927It is your estimate that Saddam Hussein is out of the nuclear bomb- building business for a long time to come?
pur1.32754062231927It would take another U.N. resolution specific to this issue, would it not?
pur1.32754062231927Let me- on this question of renewal, what is the position of the United States on renewing these various activities?
pur1.32754062231927Mr. Chairman, could I just add one point to this?
pur1.32754062231927Mr. Leach?
pur1.32754062231927Ms. Pelosi, did you have one?
pur1.32754062231927My impression is that they were much further advanced in their nuclear capability than we thought they were?
pur1.32754062231927Now, is that U.N. force there to protect the Kurds, or simply to observe the situation?
pur1.32754062231927One thousand, 2,000 tons or even more, but for how long?
pur1.32754062231927Pardon me?
pur1.32754062231927Q: So what do most babies have to eat?
pur1.32754062231927Q: Whataresomeo!thelrn- pacts?
pur1.32754062231927QUESTION: 3 How would U N activit in the Gulf be constrained were there not consensus amongthe Perm 5 members of the Security Council?
pur1.32754062231927QUESTION:- Why is n't food getting to the people?
pur1.32754062231927Resolution 706?
pur1.32754062231927Right?
pur1.32754062231927So it is likely to see a strengthened U.N. pres- ence there?
pur1.32754062231927So it is your impression now that war crime trials are unlikely?
pur1.32754062231927So right now you have a critical physical prob- lem?
pur1.32754062231927So we could see it at that level, and that would not necessitate a full- blown resolution?
pur1.32754062231927So what needs to be renewed?
pur1.32754062231927So you have confidence in their ability to imple- ment the resolutions?
pur1.32754062231927So you think that he has a less strong hold on Iraq than he did on August first?
pur1.32754062231927That it could?
pur1.32754062231927That was spent already in the North, almost all of that?
pur1.32754062231927The Kurdish situation?
pur1.32754062231927The oil spills?
pur1.32754062231927The oil fires?
pur1.32754062231927The question is: Does the Security Council intend to release that information specifically about what companies and countries were involved?
pur1.32754062231927The real cost of miscalculation includes the possi- ble use of force, does it not?
pur1.32754062231927The sentence is “ Saddam misunderstands the real cost of a miscalculation. ” What are the real costs of a miscalculation?
pur1.32754062231927The total figure is what?
pur1.32754062231927Then why do we not support trying to bring him to trial on war crimes?
pur1.32754062231927There are some armed guards, are n't there, with the U.N. in the north?
pur1.32754062231927There has been no reduction of U.N. presence in the north?
pur1.32754062231927There is no doubt in your mind now that massive suffering is taking place right now?
pur1.32754062231927These would be conventional arms, of course?
pur1.32754062231927They would get that in what?

pur1.32754062231927We are not going to stay there for the duration?
pur1.32754062231927We are successful with the nuclear but not with food shipments, though?
pur1.32754062231927We do not have an obligation as a government to hold them for that purpose, do we?
pur1.32754062231927We have U.N. monitoring groups there?
pur1.32754062231927We have had difficulty in get- ting responses promptly; is that not correct, Mr. Chairman?
pur1.32754062231927We have pretty well established that we can not trust Saddam Hussein, and we can not trust him to distribute this stuff, right?
pur1.32754062231927Well, if, in the event that UNIKOM personnel are attacked by the Iraqi military, has the United States committed itself to coming to their defense?
pur1.32754062231927Well, is there a suggestion as to how we are going to get him in custody?

pur1.32754073188041Let me put it this way, in other areas where people ask you for a docu- ment, would you not be concerned about these things?

pur1.32754073188041Mr. Chairman, I did n’t?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Chairman, can I get a translation of my re- marks?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Chairman, would the gentleman yield?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Chairman?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Chairman?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Hoagland, can I make one point?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Mendelowitz, on the question of the possibility of diversion to weapons, were you ever charged with in- vestigating that specifically?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Raul, how about Agriculture?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Raul, you said there has been no evidence to this point un- covered of any diversion of the CCC loan to, in any way, help Iraq militarily?
pur1.32754073188041Mr. Willkie, did he make those changes?
pur1.32754073188041My question is: Why do n’t you all just go ahead and produce these documents and let Congress see them?
pur1.32754073188041My question would be, how many con- gressional requests for information are coordinated with the White House or the National Security Council?
pur1.32754073188041My understanding, first of all, over this period of several years we extended$ 5 billion in agriculture credits; is that right?
pur1.32754073188041No, have you investigated it?
pur1.32754073188041No?
pur1.32754073188041None of this had to do with how you, Treasury, should respond with regard to Treasury documents?
pur1.32754073188041Now where had I heard that before?
pur1.32754073188041Now, Rafidain Bank, as I understand it, is the commercial branch of the central bank of Iraq, is that right?
pur1.32754073188041Now, how many people have been assigned to that investigation?
pur1.32754073188041Now, my second question, are you saying that United States ag credit export guarantees through BNL were used by Iraq in purchasing weaponry?
pur1.32754073188041Now, what value will any kind of defense system be, or anything that we have that we appropriate money for, if our currency is de- valued?
pur1.32754073188041Now, where had I heard that before?
pur1.32754073188041Now, you in GAO are really-- really do n’t involve partisan pol- itics, do you?

pur1.32754073188041OK. Now, how about Treasury, does Treasury see any need to conduct an investigation relating to any of these charges?
pur1.32754073188041Or is it Just an internal ded- sion made simply by the Department of Ag- riculture?
pur1.32754073188041Or stated differently, have you provided any evidence to the U.S. Department of Agriculture to support those allegations?

pur1.32754073188041Secretary Yeutter answered Senator IIAIY and in letter he states:~ You mentioned that there that foreign policy aged the Depanmen E E5554 ti?"
pur1.32754073188041Should BNL have been knowledgeable about that and did they contribute knowingly to a violation of U.S. law in permitting that to happen?
pur1.32754073188041Should we have former Secretary Mosbacher come over and tell us what he was doing?
pur1.32754073188041Sincerely, A 5 Francis D. Detieorx Inspector General Enclosures 139,.. ii"?
pur1.32754073188041So as the central bank of Iraq, the Ra- fidain Bank had to guarantee these up to$ 5 billion in agricultural credits, is that right?
pur1.32754073188041So even the tobacco companies that paid these bribes are still participating in USDA loan programs, are they not?
pur1.32754073188041So everything they have asked for from Treas- ury, they have gotten?
pur1.32754073188041So it is primarily Justice?
pur1.32754073188041So that did apply to your own documents?
pur1.32754073188041So we really did n’t get anything substantive out of that is basically the long and the short of that; is that right?
pur1.32754073188041So you are basically agnostic, then, on that general question?
pur1.32754073188041So you are saying, you are representing that you have been told this is the Rafidain file?
pur1.32754073188041So you have a whole host of people that have asked you to get involved?

pur1.32754073188041Supported the President until he got better informa- tion, listened to his constituents and then voted properly?
pur1.32754073188041That is: Did this administration know — did anyone in this administration know whether CCC money was being diverted to buy arms by Iraq?
pur1.32754073188041That was after when?
pur1.32754073188041That was the main focus?
pur1.32754073188041The other basic question is: Could your respective agency have replied to the request without White House or National Security Council assistance?
pur1.32754073188041The first was: Why did the State Department join this group- that is the lawyers group established by the White House?
pur1.32754073188041There was no general guidance from the group about this?
pur1.32754073188041They are all chairmen of committees, but I believe — didn’t Senator Lugar cosign something?
pur1.32754073188041They feel that there was no deliberate involvement of the Rome headquarters and we were unable to?
pur1.32754073188041They have n’t been disbarred, Mr. Raul?
pur1.32754073188041This concluded after the end of the Iraq- Iran war, right?
pur1.32754073188041This is quite different than the treatment you customarily receive; is that right?
pur1.32754073188041This revelation raises a myriad of questions: Who at the White House made the call?
pur1.32754073188041To provide after- sale services?
pur1.32754073188041To the committee?

pst.000066743903( 85) 86 Can the administration's current approach lead to a resolution of the fundamental political differences in Iraq?
pst.000066743903117 lence is down because the combatants have chosen to stop fighting, will they choose otherwise when the surge brigades come home?
pst.00006674390317 will terminate?
pst.00006674390317 would no longer apply to U.S. personnel, property, funds, or assets currently in Iraq and covered by the Order as of December 31, 2008?
pst.000066743903174 So, what's the mix?
pst.00006674390331 WHERE DO WE GO FROM HERE?
pst.00006674390333 progress, what do we selectively reduce?
pst.000066743903332 • Would U.S. forces be permitted to conduct combat operations on their own, without any Iraqi participation or approval?
pst.000066743903342 Tuesday, April 8, 2008 IRAQ AFTER THE SURGE: WHAT NEXT?
pst.000066743903Ad hoc?
pst.000066743903After an optimistic briefing on Iraq, the author asked the Presi- dent, What about your successor?'
pst.000066743903Again, the question is, How do we take advantage of that?
pst.000066743903Ahmadinejad was the first national leader- Can you please cool it, back there?
pst.000066743903Al- Qaeda's not going to stay around if we're not there, would n't you agree?
pst.000066743903Am I missing something?
pst.000066743903Ambassador, how are we responding to the grave needs of displaced Iraqis?
pst.000066743903Ambassador, is al- Qaeda a greater threat to United States interests in Iraq or in the Afghan/ Pakistan border region?
pst.000066743903Ambassador, you can eliminate every al- Qaeda source in Afghanistan and Pakistan or every al- Qaeda personnel in Iraq, ” which would you pick?
pst.000066743903Ambassador?
pst.000066743903And I fully under- stand the role of those folks up the chain of command from me in determining, Where do they take the risk?
pst.000066743903And I would also ask the counsel, Is it your legal position of the State Department, that this is not legally binding?
pst.000066743903And a lot of us who want to get out of there, OK?
pst.000066743903And after we reduce U.S. forces, we'll be down to about 140,000, is that correct?
pst.000066743903And are there any conditions the Government of Iraq must meet before the United States agrees to anything, such as achieving national reconciliation?
pst.000066743903And can the Iraqis solidify a working government that can provide basic government services and be seen as an honest broker?
pst.000066743903And despite all of this, the American people have yet to hear about what our strategy is going forward?
pst.000066743903And do you understand that requirement to be submitting to the Iraqi Parliament?
pst.000066743903And have they been successful?
pst.000066743903And how do you assure your own safety in that context?
pst.000066743903And how many insurgents?
pst.000066743903And if it does, how much do we have to continue it?
pst.000066743903And if not, why?
pst.000066743903And if we're to look at a cost- benefit analysis, is it worth it?
pst.000066743903And is n't it sad to have lost 4,000 American lives and spent a tril- lion dollars for that to be the outcome?
pst.000066743903And just look at what the- why are the Sunni Shiites not- I mean, the Sunni sheikhs not will- ing to sign up and go into the army there?
pst.000066743903And so, I think that if that is the case, the question is, Can we, in fact, spark it?
pst.000066743903And so, one of the things we want to find out, Are we right about that?
pst.000066743903And so, what is the leverage tool that you're suggesting?
pst.000066743903And so, what should be our posture?
pst.000066743903And the Badr Brigade is the place where Maliki — no?
pst.000066743903And the question I think we all have to ask is, Is it sustainable?
pst.000066743903And the question is, How can they play a constructive role?
pst.000066743903And the question you have for me, I believe, is, Are the Iraqis up to the task?
pst.000066743903And then, second, what sort of contingency planning are we mak- ing, as a nation, for those dire circumstances?
pst.000066743903And then, what hap- pens when the United States does n't?
pst.000066743903And until you start that, all this other talk about, “ Are we going to do it in small steps and easily?"
pst.000066743903And we do that through this bottom- up approach that you're suggesting?
pst.000066743903And what are the building blocks to achieve them?
pst.000066743903And what can we do to help us get there?
pst.000066743903And what do the answers imply for the U.S. posture in Iraq?
pst.000066743903And what policies should we pursue now- inside Iraq, in the region, and beyond — to help the Iraqis get there, assuming we can?
pst.000066743903And what steps have been taken by Iragi Government officials to reduce or eliminate sectarianism?
pst.000066743903And what would you do toward that end now, if you would?
pst.000066743903And what would you recommend?
pst.000066743903And why Kufa?
pst.000066743903And why?
pst.000066743903And would it be more or less dangerous for our troops?
pst.000066743903And would they, in fact, if we left Iraq, risk the full measure of American might, which they're able to avoid now in Afghanistan and Pakistan?
pst.000066743903And you, sir?
pst.000066743903And your solution to that, then, is for the United States to withdraw, and for, basically the Iraqis to assume leadership?
pst.000066743903And — and, I guess, parentheti- cally — is it worth it?
pst.000066743903And, awe?
pst.000066743903And, given the national security threats emanating from around the world, is this an appropriate role for our troops?
pst.000066743903And, of course, now the question is, What are we going to do about it?
pst.000066743903And, two, if you can tell us what we've spent on training the Iraqi Security Forces, to date?
pst.000066743903Are these agreements likely to be controversial in Iraq?
pst.000066743903Are they compatible?
pst.000066743903Are they getting better at deploying the resources they have, to replace what we, as Americans, were paying for?
pst.000066743903Are we paying these Sunnis up to$ 250,000 in 100-square mile-100-square kilometer area?
pst.000066743903Are we — are we — is that what we're trying to do?
pst.000066743903Are you continuing to raise these recommendations and urge that they be undertaken?
pst.000066743903Are you not concerned at all that the majority of the Iraqi Parliament has called for a timetable for the withdrawal of United States troops?
pst.000066743903Are young Ameri- cans prepared, or even qualified to serve in sufficient quantities that may be required to meet our national security demands?
pst.000066743903As we're dealing with them in Iraq, has the threat, internationally, increased from al- Qaeda, rather than decreased?
pst.000066743903At what point in the current plan to which President Bush has agreed would we, by your assess- ment, reach this state of “ overwatch ”?
pst.000066743903Because 32 Sadrites said, “ You're Prime Minister. ” How do you negotiate an agreement they are n't in on?
pst.000066743903But I assume, if any one of the governorates wanted to have that vote now, you'd probably encourage us not to let them have that go forward, no?
pst.000066743903But at this point in time, no other firm was considered when that renewal determination was made, is that correct?
pst.000066743903But did you just say that Maliki uses the Iraqi Security Forces as his militia?
pst.000066743903But how does that occur?
pst.000066743903But, Dr. Biddle, you nonetheless hear it as a rationale from this administration?
pst.000066743903But, are we trying to establish this long- term relationship as the fighting continues?
pst.000066743903But, based on what you've said, there's really no hope, we should just get the hell out of there right now, right?
pst.000066743903But, if it's not the way to go, we should be talking about, What is the way to go?
pst.000066743903But, it seems like to me we — the United States Government, the President, and the Congress- need to decide if we are at the — what was it called?
pst.000066743903But, much more importantly, where do we go from here?
pst.000066743903But, none preceding a transition of Executive power from one administration to the next?
pst.000066743903But, the fact is, also — and I think anyone who takes an honest evaluation of this, 282 So, where's the surge?
pst.000066743903By what means, absent political reconciliation on these fundamental differences?
pst.000066743903By what means?
pst.000066743903CAN THE CEASE- FIRES HOLD?
pst.000066743903Can I just make a brief followup?
pst.000066743903Can Iraq develop into a united, stable country with a democratically elected government operating under the rule of law?
pst.000066743903Can Iraqi police enforce any semblance of a rule of law in Iraq, or is order still largely dependent on U.S. or Iraqi military forces?
pst.000066743903Can a U.S. military presence in Iraq, of whatever size, produce sustainable results without a political settlement?
pst.000066743903Can it be used to police oil smuggling?
pst.000066743903Can it provide the type of security that will draw investment to the oil sector?
pst.000066743903Can it sustain a public bureauc- racy capable of managing the civic projects necessary to rebuild the Iraqi economy and to create jobs?
pst.000066743903Can the Iraqi Defense Forces grow competent and confident enough to take up the task in the time remaining to them?
pst.000066743903Can the United States responsibly support$ 10 to$ 12 billion a month until that happens?
pst.000066743903Can we reduce that out- come?
pst.000066743903Can we?
pst.000066743903Can you describe the difference between a U.N. Security Council Reso- lution Chapter VII mandate and a Chapter VI mandate?
pst.000066743903Can you discuss the role that U.S. forces are playing when it comes to the intrasectarian fighting?
pst.000066743903Can you elaborate on the nature of this overwatch role, how many troops you anticipate leaving in Iraq and for how long?
pst.000066743903Can you elaborate on, why only one?
pst.000066743903Can you give me an up- date?
pst.000066743903Can you imagine some European power, in the United States, 1868, trying to get Jef- ferson Davis and Abraham Lincoln to negotiate a peace?
pst.000066743903Can you name a political party, or an individual at the national level in Iraq, that we perhaps could work with?
pst.000066743903Catch our breath for what?
pst.000066743903Clear that that kind of action is- simply ca n't be tolerated?
pst.000066743903Com- pensation Commission?
pst.000066743903Compensation Commission as of December 31, 2008?
pst.000066743903Concessions about what issues?
pst.000066743903Could DOD's civil affairs play a greater role in helping to protect Iraq's cultural heritage and if so, how?
pst.000066743903Could any of them come down to zero in Iraq without the violence escalating?
pst.000066743903Could you do one without the other?
pst.000066743903Counselor Donoghue, is there any historical precedent in the United States that lends any guidance on this?
pst.000066743903Despite how many questions have been asked here, you will not give us the endgame of success?
pst.000066743903Did KBR receive$ 3.2 million under ACL07–139–19–005 to repair defi- ciencies identified in KBR's February 10, 2007 technical inspection report?
pst.000066743903Did KBR submit reports documenting safety hazards relating to the im- proper grounding of electrical devices at the RPC complex?
pst.000066743903Did he get kissed?
pst.000066743903Did it make sense for us and the British to go in and essentially pick sides in this one?
pst.000066743903Did the transition from Truman to Eisenhower also necessitate a Status of Forces Agreement?
pst.000066743903Did we do the right thing?
pst.000066743903Did you say that?
pst.000066743903Do Iraqis have adequate access to affordable staple goods such as flour, cooking oil, and gasoline?
pst.000066743903Do their laws stipulate the same distinctions we are making between security commitment and security arrangement?
pst.000066743903Do we continue it?
pst.000066743903Do we drawdown to presurge levels?
pst.000066743903Do we give immunity to civilian contractors?
pst.000066743903Do we have any leaders that are currently in power that we could work on?
pst.000066743903Do we have enough on our own, enough juice on our own, to get this done?
pst.000066743903Do we have that type of political party or leader that we can work with?
pst.000066743903Do we have the chance to get these parties to the same table, politically?
pst.000066743903Do we make changes in how we recruit and retain people for our Armed Forces?
pst.000066743903Do we pause?
pst.000066743903Do you all agree?
pst.000066743903Do you believe that Iraq is safe enough for refugees and IDPs to be going home?
pst.000066743903Do you believe that the Iraqi Security Forces are operating as a neutral governmental force in Iraq, or is it party to the sectarian conflict there?
pst.000066743903Do you concur that these conditions should be used as standards when assess- ing the appropriateness of returns?
pst.000066743903Do you dispute them?
pst.000066743903Do you dispute them?
pst.000066743903Do you go to the Green Zone, not out into one of the 18 provinces, to try to find and divine the future?
pst.000066743903Do you just come back and tell us the same?
pst.000066743903Do you know?
pst.000066743903Do you need oil experts in, say, Kirkuk than you need in- right now, at least- in Anbar?
pst.000066743903Do you take in the region?
pst.000066743903Do you take it elsewhere?
pst.000066743903Do you take it in Iraq?
pst.000066743903Do you understand what you're up against in trying to get this done now?
pst.000066743903Doctor, do you elaborate that on your statement, what some of those mechanisms are?
pst.000066743903Does Muqtada al- Sadr?
pst.000066743903Does Prime Minister al- Maliki make a distinction between the two?
pst.000066743903Does anybody have a thought about this?
pst.000066743903Does it get us closer to that goal?
pst.000066743903Does the Badr Corps receive arms, funds, or training from Iran?
pst.000066743903Does the Embassy support their plans to visit the United States?
pst.000066743903Does there need to be more activity on the part of the region?
pst.000066743903Dr. Biddle, can you give me a name?
pst.000066743903Dr. Brancati- am I pronouncing it correctly?
pst.000066743903Dr. Kelly, do you have a thought?
pst.000066743903Excuse me?
pst.000066743903First of all, is that premise correct?
pst.000066743903First, in terms of Status of Forces Agreement, can you do a Sta- tus of Forces Agreement and not do the Security Agreement?
pst.000066743903For example, can the bottom- up approach contribute to the en- forcement of an equitable split in oil revenue?
pst.000066743903Framework Agreement?
pst.000066743903General McCaffrey, what do you think?
pst.000066743903General Odom, would this approach be likely to promote stability 1 the region?
pst.000066743903General and Ambassador, do you agree with me that our top national security priority should be addressing the threat posed by al- Qaeda?
pst.000066743903General, do you think al- Qaeda is our top threat?
pst.000066743903General?
pst.000066743903Got another one?
pst.000066743903HOW DO WE GET THERE?
pst.000066743903HOW DO WE GET THERE?
pst.000066743903Has it provided the en 308 which we, in fact, can get the political reconciliation?
pst.000066743903Has that happened?
pst.000066743903Has the Badr Organization ever formally been a part of the Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps?
pst.000066743903Have any members of the Iraqi Security Forces been dis- missed due to concern that they may have participated in hostilities against U.S. forces?
pst.000066743903Have that with a dictator on top of it?
pst.000066743903Have these convoys been subjected to attacks in some cases?
pst.000066743903Have those achieved the goals that we want?
pst.000066743903Have we had discussions, to the best of your knowledge, with the Maliki government about extending the U.N. mandate for 3 months?
pst.000066743903How about the charges that, by arming the Sunnis, that we are setting up a civil war in which they're better prepared to fight the Shiites?
pst.000066743903How are we going to maintain the Armed Forces that we have?
pst.000066743903How are you able to identify these rogue elements?
pst.000066743903How are you arming both sides in the civil war?
pst.000066743903How can our leaders celebrate this diffusion of power as effective state- building?
pst.000066743903How can our leaders celebrate this diffusion of power as effective state- building?
pst.000066743903How did it get that way?
pst.000066743903How did it get that way?
pst.000066743903How do the Iraqis view this politically( internally)?
pst.000066743903How do the problems identified by Refugees International impact plans for national reconciliation?
pst.000066743903How do we get your system of a federal system to work?
pst.000066743903How far can the bottom- up process go and how can it be used more constructively?
pst.000066743903How important is it that the economy be stronger?
pst.000066743903How important is that in the things that you're trying to accomplish?
pst.000066743903How is such a promise affected by the continued presence of large numbers of U.S. military forces on Iraqi soil?
pst.000066743903How is the American taxpayer expected to pay for more?
pst.000066743903How long is per- manent?
pst.000066743903How many Iraqis have access to adequate sanitation and potable drink- ing water?
pst.000066743903How many Special Groups members do you assess there to be?
pst.000066743903How many al- Qaeda operatives do you estimate there to be in Iraq?
pst.000066743903How many children are currently attending school?
pst.000066743903How many children are currently attending school?
pst.000066743903How many contractors in Iraq have their salaries paid for by American taxpayers?
pst.000066743903How many have died while conducting joint operations with Iraqi Security Forces?
pst.000066743903How many insurgents are there?
pst.000066743903How many members are there of the mainline Jaysh al- Mahdi?
pst.000066743903How many of these warlords are we going to negotiate with; got a number?
pst.000066743903How many soldiers will we have on the ground in Iraq?
pst.000066743903How much financial support has the Government of Iraq given to its neighbors to support the needs of Iraqi refugees?
pst.000066743903How much more money does it take before we do this right?
pst.000066743903How significantly has Iraqi military capacity expanded?
pst.000066743903How will the security assurance you are considering for Iraq be balanced against our obligations to Turkey under the North Atlantic Treaty?
pst.000066743903How- from a legal standpoint, distinguish Afghanistan and Iraq?
pst.000066743903I can take care of that. ” But, he said, “ You know what?
pst.000066743903I do n't know what their basis is, you know?
pst.000066743903I know it was n't “ gathering place, ” it was called what?
pst.000066743903I mean, what is the objective here?
pst.000066743903I mean, when are we going to change those dynamics?
pst.000066743903I think he called it a"gathering place. ” Is that what he called it?
pst.000066743903I think there really has been a lot of intel- lectual confusion on, what are we doing in Iraq?
pst.000066743903I've been asked many times, not only by Members of the Senate, but also House Members, “ What do we do?
pst.000066743903IRAQ AFTER THE SURGE: WHAT NEXT?
pst.000066743903If Congress passes a clear law overriding the executive agreement, would the law override that agreement, in your view, from a matter of law?
pst.000066743903If I were you, I'd also go to the United Nations and 386 say, “ You know what, folks?
pst.000066743903If a modus vivendi is what is needed, what might it look like?
pst.000066743903If not, how should we be changing our policy?
pst.000066743903If not, what are the impediments?
pst.000066743903If not, which resolutions will continue to apply upon expiration of U.N. Security Council Resolution 1790?
pst.000066743903If not, why not?
pst.000066743903If so, how do we enforce that responsibly?
pst.000066743903If so, which ones?
pst.000066743903If so, why?
pst.000066743903If spoiler, overwhelmations do IRAQ 2012: WHAT CAN IT LOOK LIKE?
pst.000066743903If that ai n't enough, then, guess what?
pst.000066743903If the Iraqi Parliament votes for us to go home, guess what?
pst.000066743903If the Security Council mandate for the MNF- I expires, what Security Council resolutions will U.S. forces be enforcing?
pst.000066743903If the fighting between Maliki's forces and rival Shia groups in the south deepens, could it further endanger that supply line?
pst.000066743903If this happens, will the cease- fires hold?
pst.000066743903If we stay the course, will we be any closer, 15 months from now, to that goal than we are today?
pst.000066743903If we're at a culminating place — what is the next step?
pst.000066743903If you count U.S. expenditures on logistics and training for the Iraqi Security Forces, would n't U.S. expenditures exceed Iraqi expenditures?
pst.000066743903In 10 minutes or less?
pst.000066743903In a reasonable, best- case scenario, What might Iraq look like, politically, 4 years from now, in the year 2012?
pst.000066743903In other words, how do we selectively reduce?
pst.000066743903In other words, in the event that these dire circumstances occur, with or without 140,000 troops, what and who really comes to the rescue?
pst.000066743903Is 7 minutes OK?
pst.000066743903Is a “ security arrangement ” simply a political statement that would not legally bind the United States to any particular course of action?
pst.000066743903Is anyone trying to figure out a com- prehensive strategy for addressing this issue?
pst.000066743903Is it possible or even likely that the SOFA will require that individuals detained by U.S. forces ultimately be turned over to the Iraqis?
pst.000066743903Is it true that the majority of our essential supplies and equipment are transported by land over 400 miles from Kuwait?
pst.000066743903Is n't it true that, after all we've done, Iran has gained ground?
pst.000066743903Is or will the United States pay monthly stipends to these volunteers as we have Sunni Awakening members?
pst.000066743903Is that a- would that be a fair assessment?
pst.000066743903Is that about right?
pst.000066743903Is that accurate?
pst.000066743903Is that correct?
pst.000066743903Is that not inevitable?
pst.000066743903Is that not relevant?
pst.000066743903Is that pretty much accurate?
pst.000066743903Is that the context in which you're talking about these workshops?
pst.000066743903Is that what our troops ought to be doing?
pst.000066743903Is that what they went over there to die for, and that we're paying for?
pst.000066743903Is that what you mean?
pst.000066743903Is that your understanding, as well?
pst.000066743903Is the Badr Corps still operational in Iraq at this time?
pst.000066743903Is the administration exploring the possibility of a new U.N. Security Council resolution that would address any of these issues?
pst.000066743903Is there any closing comment any one of you would like to make?
pst.000066743903Is there any disagreement on that?
pst.000066743903Is there any hope that there could be significant progress in the next 10 months, in that regard?
pst.000066743903Is there some overwhelming feeling on the Security Council that should entertain Iraq's request that Chapter VII be allowed to expire?
pst.000066743903Is this easier than global warming, or harder?
pst.000066743903It is 375 sovereign, but it does not — who are we normalizing it with?
pst.000066743903It means you've got to go back, though, right?
pst.000066743903It's almost an ahistorical expei does raise the question of, How do you, in fact, actually get to an agreement?
pst.000066743903It's been 3 months since I was there — is it still performing and protecting lives like it was?
pst.000066743903It's the economy, stupid, economy — but guess what?
pst.000066743903It's, Where do you take risk?
pst.000066743903Let me ask you first, as a threshold question – did you hear the testimony this morning of the generals?
pst.000066743903Let me ask you, in a different context, is n't it true that, in fact, we have probably the greatest leverage right now?
pst.000066743903Let me just ask you, Ambassador Crocker — what are the specifics of what we are doing to get rid of Iranian influence in Iraq?
pst.000066743903Likewise, what deficiencies do we have in energy security?
pst.000066743903Most of it?
pst.000066743903Mr. Rosen, how do you define stability?
pst.000066743903My question is, Do you disagree with the High Commissioner?
pst.000066743903My question is, Why do n't you ask the Iraqis to pay the entire cost of that program?
pst.000066743903Namely, will the Iraqi people subordinate sectarian, tribal, and political agendas by shar- ing power with their rivals?
pst.000066743903Nevertheless, as you're dealing in these negotiations, who else do you deal with?
pst.000066743903No?
pst.000066743903Now it's — how long ago?
pst.000066743903Now, given that predicament, why have you chosen the current path of the presentation of these two agreements?
pst.000066743903Now, it is 70 percent.?
pst.000066743903Now, would you acknowledge that it's possible that two of the three Presidential candidates do n't share that vision?
pst.000066743903Of these, how many are American, how many are Iraqi, and how many are third- country nationals?
pst.000066743903Once again, we must ask, “ where do we go from here, ” how much longer must the United States foot the bill for Iraq's reconstruction?
pst.000066743903One of the points that General McCaffrey made- in fact maybe his opening statement — was, How did we get in this mess?
pst.000066743903Or do you think it only commits this President?
pst.000066743903Or should these be slowed or even reversed?
pst.000066743903Or should we withdraw, as the calls are coming a little more clearly — should we withdraw completely, according to a set timetable?
pst.000066743903Overall, would you agree with General Odom that Baghdad has the possibility of becoming another Dien Bien Phu?
pst.000066743903Pardon?
pst.000066743903Pardon?
pst.000066743903Prepared statement.............. 166 85 86 125 133 87 Thursday, April, 3, 2008 IRAQ 2012: WHAT CAN IT LOOK LIKE?
pst.000066743903President, we can go down well below 130, ” which is the presurge level- how far along are we?
pst.000066743903President, what took you so long? ” Literally.
pst.000066743903Press reports counter the Mahdi Ahat can you tell us stipends to these 342 reliability of Iraqi Security Forces?
pst.000066743903Professor Donoghue, a number of the points you raised are, I think, technically correct- in the Calvinistic sense- pardon me?
pst.000066743903Professor O'Leary, do you have any comment about the situation?
pst.000066743903Professor, you wanted to respond?
pst.000066743903Pushing toward what?
pst.000066743903Say again?
pst.000066743903Senator, might I respond to your first couple of comments?
pst.000066743903Should we be continuing to fight alongside such groups, General Odom?
pst.000066743903Should we continue to intervene in the intra- Shia struggle for power?
pst.000066743903Should we extend the ongoing troop reductions?
pst.000066743903Six months over the last year?
pst.000066743903So, 1-you understand?
pst.000066743903So, General, you were just talking about, Where do you take the risks?
pst.000066743903So, I do n't mean to imply that this is going to be easy to do, but the only good outcome, is, How do we get to that goal?
pst.000066743903So, how do you end the war to get to the point where you can have a federal system?
pst.000066743903So, in your capacity as a journalist, you felt rel- atively able to move around?
pst.000066743903So, several years on, how will the American military help the Iraqi Army transition itself as we withdraw?
pst.000066743903So, the question is, How do we stage it as we come out?
pst.000066743903So, the single most important question you would think we would be debating is this: What political arrangements might Iraqis agree to?
pst.000066743903So, we're going to have to buy out each individual group, and each individual group will, in power within their own little area?
pst.000066743903So, what has to happen — what has to happen for us to be able to reduce the costs in life and in dollars and in deployment?
pst.000066743903So, what in the heck are we doing?
pst.000066743903So, what is it- how do we — what do we say to push him to more aggressively move for- ward?
pst.000066743903So, what is this other authority that authorizes us to be there after December 31?
pst.000066743903So, what is to be done?
pst.000066743903So, what is your de- gree of optimism or pessimism?
pst.000066743903So, what's next?
pst.000066743903So, where do we go from here?
pst.000066743903So, why is federalism an appropriate system for Iraq?
pst.000066743903So, you talked about the “ kafoo”—is that how you pronounce it?
pst.000066743903So, you're in the 100-years- war school?
pst.000066743903Step one of that consensus is, “ Get out of Iraq. ” The question is, Do we do it in 1 year or 3 years?
pst.000066743903Take this reality — that such groups are going to have power within their own areas, which are highly decentralized?
pst.000066743903That is prepared to step forward, and make those types of courageous concessions, in an effort to bring about a significant change in Iraq?
pst.000066743903That people feel a sense of optimism within their econ- ny?
pst.000066743903That's misleading language ”?
pst.000066743903That's the only way to begin to withdraw, is it not?
pst.000066743903That's the trick?
pst.000066743903The first of those questions, at least from my perspective, is — has the surge accomplished its stated goal?
pst.000066743903The first prong: A “ continuing threat posed by Iraq ”?
pst.000066743903The greater safe haven, at this point, and their greater operability, is in Pakistan or Afghanistan, rather than Iraq, correct?
pst.000066743903The most important question we must ask today is not “ where did the surge get us, ” but rather"where do we go from here ”?
pst.000066743903The question is, Can we buffer that?
pst.000066743903The question is, How do we do it without allowing chaos to reign in the region and without breaking the Army and the Marine Corps?
pst.000066743903The question is, What high school did you go to?
pst.000066743903The question is, What is the ultimate goal?
pst.000066743903The question, for me, is a practical one, as it is, I know, for you and everyone else — How do you get there?
pst.000066743903The responsible thing?
pst.000066743903The second prong: “ enforce all relevant Security Council resolutions ”?
pst.000066743903Then where do you draw the line?
pst.000066743903Then why would Ambassador Crocker have committed to submitting the agreement to the Iraqi Parliament?
pst.000066743903These are Iraqi solutions for Iraqi problems. ” What happened between last September and last month that led to Maliki's decision to attack?
pst.000066743903They're going to send there, they're going to continue to spend$ 3 billion a month, a week for that?
pst.000066743903This is instead a question of how do you resolve the Kurd, Sunni, and Shia interests, is it not?
pst.000066743903Three, four, five, seven, eight, nine?
pst.000066743903To create leverage?
pst.000066743903To determine, for example, do you need more agri- culture experts in Ninawa than you do in Baghdad?
pst.000066743903To what extent did the views of the Iraqi Government factor into the decision of the State Department?
pst.000066743903Vio- lence fell in late 2007; will this trend continue, or was this merely a temporary lull created by an unsustainable U.S. troop presence?
pst.000066743903WHAT IRAQ'S MODUS VIVENDI MIGHT LOOK LIKE What does this discussion tell us?
pst.000066743903WHAT IS TO BE DONE?
pst.000066743903WHY DID VIOLENCE DECLINE?
pst.000066743903Was any consideration given to stripping Blackwater of the contract and giving it to an- other qualified entity?
pst.000066743903Was the original document negotiated between the two governments in Arabic and then translated to English?
pst.000066743903We need to have him hold it together until the next adminis- tration comes in, and then we need a national consensus, What do we do next?
pst.000066743903Well why do n't you concentrate on the SOFA and back off from formulation of the framework?
pst.000066743903Well, given what you've just said, is it pos- sible that you'd have a dictator impose, on top of a — what do you call it?
pst.000066743903Well, if Iraq is really the key, why has our current approach to counterterrorism in Iraq been an increased threat from al- Qaeda around the world?
pst.000066743903Well, the Sunnis are going to turn out this time, right?
pst.000066743903Well, the real question is, How do we get out of this mess?
pst.000066743903Well, when can we rely on them?
pst.000066743903Well, why does n't the Security Council delay the conclusion of the agreement for 6 months?
pst.000066743903Were any small businesses considered to help in supplying the deliverables?
pst.000066743903What about Iran?

pst.000066743903What are your expectations for Kirkuk, and how will developments there play into the fragile status between Turkey and Kurdish areas?
pst.000066743903What are your recommendations for what tactics we should employ to reach those goals?
pst.000066743903What can be done?
pst.000066743903What can you tell us about these pro- grams and his plans?
pst.000066743903What concessions are they willing to make now?

pst.000066743903What do we do in the next 10 months of this administration?

pst.000066743903What do we have to do?
pst.000066743903What do we want this country to look like?
pst.000066743903What do you all think about what they said?
pst.000066743903What do you call it?
pst.000066743903What do you call it?
pst.000066743903What do you do about that, General, about the Iranian influence, even as it is high profile?
pst.000066743903What do you do then?
pst.000066743903What do you do?
pst.000066743903What do you think we'll be left with?
pst.000066743903What do you think, Ambassador?
pst.000066743903What existing SOFA would you say is most like the SOFA you hope to negotiate with Iraq?

pst.000066743903Will you be willing to share draft texts with the committee, on a classi- fied basis if necessary?
pst.000066743903Withdrawal is the policy of everyone, including the administration, I think the question is, How far and how fast?
pst.000066743903Wo n't the absence of a U.N. mandate mean that our presence would have even less international legitimacy than it does today?
pst.000066743903Would any of you like to comment on the last point?
pst.000066743903Would n't the clock be better served by precipitating it?

pst.000066743903Would you comment?
pst.000066743903Would you envision Gen- eral Petraeus having to consult with Iraqi authorities before acting?
pst.000066743903Yes or no?
pst.000066743903You do n't think that retreat was politically motivated because of the timing of the elections?
pst.000066743903You know, what commitment is sustainable, consist with our interest?
pst.000066743903You know, who was it?
pst.000066743903You say, “ We have enduring national interests in Iraq. ” What are they?
pst.000066743903You sort of wonder, “ How did we end up in this mess? ” given your pretty acute understanding of the situation on the ground.
pst.000066743903You think Mr. Rosen does n't care about the outcome?
pst.000066743903You would acknowledge that's a possibility, would n't you?
pst.000066743903You're not going back?
pst.000066743903You're talking about a very real likelihood of delay to that, what does that do?

pst.000063504644283 Dennis, you wanted to comment on that?
pst.0000635046443, what are the consequences if these benchmarks are not met?
pst.000063504644570 Which leads me, Senator Webb, to your question — are we respon- sible, the United States, the American people, for the reconstruc- tion of Iraq?
pst.000063504644605 U.S."projecting will Work?
pst.000063504644651 Some have asked us: What does the Arab- Israeli conflict have to do with the war in Iraq?
pst.000063504644776 your perception of the administration, to do that?
pst.000063504644ALTERNATIVE PLANS CONTINUED — FEDERAL- ISM, SIDE WITH THE MAJORITY, STRATEGIC REDEPLOYMENT, OR NEGOTIATE?
pst.000063504644After all, if people are reg- istering for the draft, and you do n't use it now, when will you use it?
pst.000063504644Ag- gressive diplomacy?
pst.000063504644Against that, you have to, sort of, ask yourself, OK, so where do you go here, to put those interests back on the table and resolve this?
pst.000063504644All right, now, that answer is particularly appropriate to Baghdad, would you not say?
pst.000063504644All right?
pst.000063504644Am I missing something?
pst.000063504644Am I missing something?
pst.000063504644Am I wrong in thein that hope?
pst.000063504644Ambassador, let's just ask: In your partition scenario, what happens to Iraqis'oil wealth?
pst.000063504644An- other$ 300 billion?
pst.000063504644And I guess the question becomes: What do we do then?
pst.000063504644And I said, “ How many of them are reliable? ” And he said he did n't know.
pst.000063504644And I said, “ Well, can you put a percentage on it? ” And he said, no; he could n't.
pst.000063504644And I said, “ You say that they were trained, but they're not, so tell me: How do you think they're going to be trained any better today?
pst.000063504644And I think the concern that you've heard today is: How long do we give them that chance?
pst.000063504644And I think there are many in this country who are saying, “ Well, why did they just come to us?
pst.000063504644And I think we have to ask ourselves: What do we think the military operations look like?
pst.000063504644And I was asked, some time ago, when the Presi- dent was whispering literally in the ear of Maliki, you know, “ Do you think it's a good thing?"
pst.000063504644And I wonder if you could comment on: Who do you think is right, at the end of the day, at this stage?
pst.000063504644And can we get the right now, there is not support for this war — is that at all possible?
pst.000063504644And do Iraqi units have the capability to undertake difficult missions on their own?
pst.000063504644And do these interests overlap or conflict with ours?
pst.000063504644And do we have enough forces to do it?
pst.000063504644And do you even think it might be used ef- fectively?
pst.000063504644And do you think there is the necessary complementary, com- prehensive economic and political effort going on?
pst.000063504644And guess what I found out?
pst.000063504644And has heas they say in the southern part of my State, has the boy had an alter call?
pst.000063504644And here, we disagree on whether it's even possible, but what would it take?
pst.000063504644And how can they affect the out- come on the ground in Iraq, if they can affect the outcome?
pst.000063504644And how long are we prepared to hold with American forces in Baghdad that are being surged?
pst.000063504644And how long are we really willing to have large numbers of troops deployed in the Persian Gulf?
pst.000063504644And how many do we have trained? ” And I did n't get a clear answer.
pst.000063504644And how much time did they have in operational units?
pst.000063504644And how safe are we now?
pst.000063504644And how would engagement with Iran and Syria affect the internal political situation in Iraq?
pst.000063504644And if he says no?
pst.000063504644And if the Shiites fight the Sunnis, will the Saudis be forced to intervene?
pst.000063504644And if they are relying on so- called Iraqi troops, you have to ask the question: Who are those Iraqi troops?
pst.000063504644And if we give them an economic package?
pst.000063504644And is Iraq one of those that could lead to a regional war?
pst.000063504644And is it dependent on Congress appropriating all of the funds the President will now request?
pst.000063504644And is it in the U.S. interest to continue pursuing the third?
pst.000063504644And is part of the new plan going to address that in any significant way?
pst.000063504644And is the alternative to cooperation a regional proxy war?
pst.000063504644And is there a fallback posi- tion that reduces the consequences?
pst.000063504644And is this a civil war that may have to be fought?
pst.000063504644And it really is, you know, Who is Maliki and who is the Maliki government?
pst.000063504644And lastly, is the current situa- tion likely to be lasting?
pst.000063504644And most crucial of all, how many more American lives are they willing to sacrifice?
pst.000063504644And my question is: Do you see an oppor- tunity for additional military troops to help achieve a window where those objectives might be accomplished?
pst.000063504644And my rhetorical question is: Has that half- life passed?
pst.000063504644And not just in Iraq but in the larger region?
pst.000063504644And now we're in this position: Do we side with the Shiites, and win?
pst.000063504644And so what is there to federate to?
pst.000063504644And so you can provide us the information in terms of the aggregate amounts, and then where your present con- tracts are?
pst.000063504644And so, my first question is: Does anybody here have a sense of whether reconciliation can occur in Iraq today?
pst.000063504644And so, we need to think through: What's the sanction?
pst.000063504644And tell me, I would like for the record, if you're willing, to update us on the present status of these Ministries?
pst.000063504644And the chairman asked a question about: What kind of jobs are we talking about here?
pst.000063504644And the question is: Is Maliki willing to work with it?
pst.000063504644And the question is: What's the framework?
pst.000063504644And then, as Mr. Hakim says, “ Are we in the middle, taking sides in a civil war? ” It's complex.
pst.000063504644And then, econd part of the question is: In calendar year 2007, coming up, what would you recommend as a strategy, as specifically as you can?
pst.000063504644And then, listening to Mr. Talabani — tell me: How do we move this forward?
pst.000063504644And there has been what some term a semantics distinction on: Is it a civil war?
pst.000063504644And they all concur with this new plan?
pst.000063504644And they know that President Bush has ruled out leaving, so where is our leverage?
pst.000063504644And they said,"What do you think of that?"
pst.000063504644And under the best- case scenarios, how soon can we expect a significant increase in oil revenue for the Iraqi Government?
pst.000063504644And were there others?
pst.000063504644And what about Diyala province with its Sunni, Shia, and Kurdish and Turkman populations?
pst.000063504644And what about the oil law, specifically?
pst.000063504644And what about the rest of Iraq?
pst.000063504644And what are the implications for our ability to respond to future crises?
pst.000063504644And what are the incentives for regional parties to come to the table to help stabilize Iraq?
pst.000063504644And what are the strengths and dangers of that?
pst.000063504644And what are we doing now?
pst.000063504644And what are we going to do?
pst.000063504644And what did you do in Dayton?
pst.000063504644And what does that mean in Iraq, in the region?
pst.000063504644And what if they do n't?
pst.000063504644And what is the implications of that?
pst.000063504644And what is there to be got?
pst.000063504644And what possible scenarios could bring them together?
pst.000063504644And what role, if any, should the United States play in forging this regional cooperation?
pst.000063504644And what will we do if they fail to fulfill their promises?
pst.000063504644And what would that force do?
pst.000063504644And what, specifically, do you think we ought to be doing to encourage this kind of political resolution that we're all talking about?
pst.000063504644And when I came back, I said, “ Terrific, let's get out, because General Petraeus said”—and remember that joke?
pst.000063504644And when?
pst.000063504644And where I'd like a little bit of additional comment is: If that time is created, where might it be best used?
pst.000063504644And where are our allies?
pst.000063504644And where do the Badr Brigade and the Jaish al- Mahdi come out in that conflict?
pst.000063504644And who could bring the Sunni Arab insurgents under control?
pst.000063504644And who's going to win the civil war in Iraq?
pst.000063504644And why is that?
pst.000063504644And why should the Sunnis sign up for that?
pst.000063504644And why would the Sunnis — why would the Sunnis, based upon ev- erything that we're doing?
pst.000063504644And you think that should be called by whom?
pst.000063504644And, I have n't received it — is it because there is n't one, or there is a plan and you do n't want to share it with us?
pst.000063504644And, as in the case with the Shia, where will the borders of this entity be?
pst.000063504644And, concomi- tantly, to redefine what constitutes victory?
pst.000063504644And, if it does, where are we, after putting them in, in 6 months, if it has n't worked?
pst.000063504644And, if not, can we safely remedy those defi- ciencies?
pst.000063504644And, if not, is there a timeline for reconciliation?
pst.000063504644And, if so, what is it?
pst.000063504644And, in terms of what's on the table and what's not on the table for discussion, would you lay out some very clear parameters?
pst.000063504644And, in that operational control, could n't he circumvent going against al- Sadr?
pst.000063504644And, in your opinion, do you think that that would help with some of the sectarian strife that we're facing now?
pst.000063504644And, last: Is this current situation likely to be lasting?
pst.000063504644And, most crucial of all, how many more American lives are they willing to sacrifice?
pst.000063504644And, possibly, Senator Biden's plan of trying to separate the various sectors, to try to bring sta- bility to the region?
pst.000063504644And, third, what about recruitment?
pst.000063504644And,( b) what- ever that number is, what do we need to get to?
pst.000063504644Another$ 300 billion?
pst.000063504644Any question in your mind?
pst.000063504644Anybody want to address that question?
pst.000063504644Anyone else want to comment?
pst.000063504644Anyone else want to comment?
pst.000063504644Anyone else?
pst.000063504644Anyone have thoughts about this idea?
pst.000063504644Anyone?
pst.000063504644Are Iraqis doing what they need to do?
pst.000063504644Are either the Iranians or the Syrians prepared to change their behavior today?
pst.000063504644Are n't we largely involved in a sec- tarian conflict?
pst.000063504644Are the British escalating their troops?
pst.000063504644Are the Poles, the Italians, the South Koreans, the Australians?
pst.000063504644Are the stakes as high as everybody says?
pst.000063504644Are there any good signs that you can report?
pst.000063504644Are there enough incentives for them to get involved there?
pst.000063504644Are there measures in place that we can use to de- termine whether conditions warranting America's continued sup- port have actually been met?
pst.000063504644Are these benchmarks designed to help the Iraqi Government succeed, or are these benchmarks to set them up for failure?
pst.000063504644Are these having any measur- able effects politically or against al- Qaeda- Iraq?
pst.000063504644Are these make- work jobs that will expire when the funds dry up?
pst.000063504644Are they Baathists?
pst.000063504644Are they contractors, or are they out of the De- partment of Agriculture?
pst.000063504644Are they correct?
pst.000063504644Are they dead- enders?
pst.000063504644Are they escalating, as well?
pst.000063504644Are they going to attack simply Muqtada, or are they also going to attack insurgents?
pst.000063504644Are they now principally Iraqi?
pst.000063504644Are they senior officials of the White House?
pst.000063504644Are they taking any constructive steps worth mentioning?
pst.000063504644Are things getting better?
pst.000063504644Are we better off in Afghanistan than we were before the invasion of Iraq?
pst.000063504644Are we finding ourselves iso- lated- going to find ourselves isolated?
pst.000063504644Are we halfway there?
pst.000063504644Are we in a situation where they would be more inclined to pull our chestnuts out of the fire?
pst.000063504644Are we more secure, vis- a- vis al- Qaeda?
pst.000063504644Are we way off?
pst.000063504644Are you comfortable that there's a reasonable timeframe that would have consequences?
pst.000063504644Are you confident they will send a sufficient number, and their best?
pst.000063504644Are you confident?
pst.000063504644Are you ready to go?
pst.000063504644Are you ready, Senator?
pst.000063504644Are you saying, if it's not open- ended, that you're pre- pared to terminate it?
pst.000063504644Are you suggesting a reprogramming or an addition to the budget?
pst.000063504644Army-46% Navy-21% Air Force23% Marine Corps—9% Coast Guard—1% No response0%( 3) How many times have you deployed to Iraq?
pst.000063504644As Strom Thurmond used to say, “ Will you pull the machine closer so everyone can hear you? ” Thank you very much.
pst.000063504644As you un- derstand it, would this be done by uniformed forces, civilians, or Iraqis?
pst.000063504644At that time, I used the metaphor, “ What happens when the dog catches the car?"
pst.000063504644Baghdad, that you're going to have a national police force patrol- ling Fallujah without there being war, without there be chaos?
pst.000063504644Better than a war that's “ Made in America. ” OK?
pst.000063504644Beyond moving the moneys out, what about the operational control of whatever it is you're moving them out for?
pst.000063504644Bring the people and countries in the region in to help us solve the problem?
pst.000063504644But are we making progress in training the Iraqi Army?
pst.000063504644But are we more secure, vis- a- vis al- Qaeda, than we were before we went into Iraq?
pst.000063504644But as a practical polit- ical matter, what is your prediction on the potential for their mak- ing these solutions?
pst.000063504644But could the Iranians and the Syrians turn the violence off?
pst.000063504644But do you believe that any of- again, I want to get the rest of you into this — are oil revenues and federalism going to resolve that difference?
pst.000063504644But do you think it would be easier to begin that urgent diplomatic effort in the region now or later?
pst.000063504644But how can we possibly win that kind of a war between democracy and extremism when so much of the world considers us to be the threat?
pst.000063504644But how much did that add up to?
pst.000063504644But if you ca n't resolve them to stop them from killing the way they are today, my ques- tion is: Can you stop them?
pst.000063504644But in terms of the mechanics of constructing a diplomatic strat- egy, going forward, what does that mean, specific any of your opinions?
pst.000063504644But is our doing this going to improve the capacity of the Iraqis to be able to eventually run their own government?
pst.000063504644But it should not be debated, in terms of, “ Are you for withdrawal or for an increase in esent situation?"
pst.000063504644But no one different has, for instance, assumed leadership of those ministries, correct?
pst.000063504644But none of you answered the ques- tion- maybe you will as you go along hereof: What happens if this fails?
pst.000063504644But tell me: Is there a difference?
pst.000063504644But that makes you say, “ Well, where's Saddam when we need him? ” Saddam was stabilizing.
pst.000063504644But the fact is, what?
pst.000063504644But they will be as well, wo n't they?
pst.000063504644But they're not increasing, like we are, and that's my overall question: Who is putting more investment in, like we are?
pst.000063504644But to focus in on one of your operational questions: How do we provide oversight?
pst.000063504644But what did you do?
pst.000063504644But what does it mean to say it's not open- ended?
pst.000063504644But what is Maliki's political leverage over these people?
pst.000063504644But what other al- ternative do you have?
pst.000063504644But when we talk about regional diplomacy and regional issues, and working with our partners, what are our partners doing?
pst.000063504644But where do you start?
pst.000063504644But will its capabilities ever be up to, in the foreseeable future, for what we would consider adequate, by American standards?
pst.000063504644But would one of you answer it, very briefly so other Senators can get questions in before the caucuses begin?
pst.000063504644But, Les, you have a final word?
pst.000063504644But, how do we get them to do it?
pst.000063504644But, in particular, you're talking about up- armor- ing vehicles, or retrofitting or redesigning?
pst.000063504644But, in terms of the military strategy itself — so, can we do some- thing, or is it just too late?
pst.000063504644But, in the case of General Jones, I'm told we went to him, we got to him fairly late, is that correct?
pst.000063504644But, what do you think- how do you think they view their equities, each of the parties, the major parties, in an all- out conflict?
pst.000063504644By what amount will these numbers increase?
pst.000063504644By “ region, ” you do n't necessarily mean Iraq, right?
pst.000063504644CERP funds, sir?
pst.000063504644Can 21,500 additional American troops make a discernible dif- ference in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Can I ask a point of clarification?
pst.000063504644Can I have one comment?
pst.000063504644Can Iraq survive as a loose federation?
pst.000063504644Can Iraq's neighbors influence groups within Iraq with whom they have close ties?
pst.000063504644Can a reformed Baath Party be part of the political process?
pst.000063504644Can all three of you, very quickly, react to the idea of private versus publicly announced benchmarks?
pst.000063504644Can anybody envision a strong national govern- ment, as has been pushed by the administration for the last 5 years?
pst.000063504644Can anyone imagine that happening?
pst.000063504644Can it work with that kind of a relationship?
pst.000063504644Can such a strategy help estab- lish order and create space for the government and the security forces to solidify themselves?
pst.000063504644Can the Iraqis and we main- tain the “ hold ” long enough to build?
pst.000063504644Can the Maliki govern- ment manage this process effectively and lead the nation, rather than act as representatives of the Shiite majority?
pst.000063504644Can they perform?
pst.000063504644Can this boost in our capability stabilize Baghdad?
pst.000063504644Can we bring the proper resources to focus at the right time?
pst.000063504644Can we even answer that question?
pst.000063504644Can we just turn, in the time left to electricity?
pst.000063504644Can we use the stability that we offer the region, and our role as a counterweight to Iran, to gain more help in Iraq and in the region?
pst.000063504644Can you address both of those concerns?
pst.000063504644Can you comment on that?
pst.000063504644Can you describe recent efforts we have heard about in Al Anbar prov- ince to reach out to disenfranchised Sunni Shaikhs?
pst.000063504644Can you follow up within the next 3 days?
pst.000063504644Can you give us some sense, of the supple- mental, what portion of that is really going to security, as opposed to bricks, mortar, and labor costs?
pst.000063504644Can you help me understand if this debate we're having has an impact on the folks on the ground?
pst.000063504644Can you help me understand the seeming discrepancy between these statements?
pst.000063504644Can you picture the circumstance where we may have to have most of our troops out of Iraq, but still in the region?
pst.000063504644Can you share specifics on that with us for the record?
pst.000063504644Can you tell me if you know anything about that?
pst.000063504644Can you tell us how that works?
pst.000063504644Catastrophic for U.S. interests?
pst.000063504644Chairman Murtha, do we lose an American city, thousands of American lives, because we follow your plan in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Contract personnel?
pst.000063504644Contractors?
pst.000063504644Correct?
pst.000063504644Could I do that?
pst.000063504644Could I have just 10 seconds to wrap up?
pst.000063504644Could I just disagree slightly?
pst.000063504644Could he bring the mike closer?
pst.000063504644Could the Iranians order SCIRI or the Jaysh al- Mahdi to stop their attacks?
pst.000063504644Could they be induced into changing their behavior in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Could you amplify that?
pst.000063504644Could you be a little more specific about what you envision there?
pst.000063504644Could you elaborate?
pst.000063504644Could you expand on that for me?
pst.000063504644Could you explain to us why that is the case?
pst.000063504644Could you — why do you think that's so?
pst.000063504644Dennis or Richard, do you want to comment on that?
pst.000063504644Detracts from sovereignty?
pst.000063504644Did he speak specifically about — and obtain specific commitments about going against al- Sadr?
pst.000063504644Did that in any way color your recommendation?
pst.000063504644Did they get through those gates, in terms of officer/ NCO training?
pst.000063504644Did you have an oppor- tunity to advise the White House about your plan?
pst.000063504644Did you mean among the Sunni?
pst.000063504644Did you want to say something, Mike?
pst.000063504644Do I think Congress has a role?
pst.000063504644Do Iran and Syria assess it in their long- term interest for there to be continuing instability and violence in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Do Iraqi units have sufficient equipment and logistics capability to op- erate effectively?
pst.000063504644Do any of you believe there will ever be true stability in Iraq if there are American com- bat troops on the streets of Iraq's cities?
pst.000063504644Do any of you picture, in your lifetime, the likelihood that a national police force will be patrolling the streets of Fallujah?
pst.000063504644Do any of you want to try on any of those for size?
pst.000063504644Do either of you have a comment on that outlook?
pst.000063504644Do the Iraqis have the political will to meet this challenge?
pst.000063504644Do they think they're going to let it go to 6058?
pst.000063504644Do we assume that, if the American diplomats sit down at the table with them, they're just going to agree to everything?
pst.000063504644Do we have a stake and an interest in it?
pst.000063504644Do we have no confidence in American diplomats?
pst.000063504644Do we have the capacity to do that?
pst.000063504644Do we know who they are?
pst.000063504644Do we pull out?
pst.000063504644Do we really want to have a regional war among ourselves?
pst.000063504644Do you agree that it's not open- ended, first of all?
pst.000063504644Do you agree that we should sit down at a summit or a conference and talk about Iraq, or should it occur bilaterally?
pst.000063504644Do you agree with that, Lee?
pst.000063504644Do you agree with that?
pst.000063504644Do you agree with the essence of his plan last night?
pst.000063504644Do you all agree on that?
pst.000063504644Do you all agree that oil has the potential to ue that holds the country together, rather than splits it apart?
pst.000063504644Do you believe that Congress has a con- stitutional re sibility and role in war?
pst.000063504644Do you believe that we need to have benchmarks with consequences?
pst.000063504644Do you believe the Congress has a role in this?
pst.000063504644Do you have any idea of why this is n't on the table?
pst.000063504644Do you have any information about that or any kind of status?
pst.000063504644Do you have any more questions?
pst.000063504644Do you have con- fidence that you have a partner in the Iraqi Ministries that you can essentially hand this off to?
pst.000063504644Do you know any examples where you've had weak governments, where foreigners have gone in and stood up their military and it was a success?
pst.000063504644Do you know what the strategy is?
pst.000063504644Do you make a distinction between the region and Iraq, Mr. Secretary?
pst.000063504644Do you think an enemy of America would be someone who says, “ If an American troop is standing in my town, it's OK to kill that American ”?
pst.000063504644Do you think it's possible to construct a plan to bring the troops home safely over that time period?
pst.000063504644Do you think she's on the right track?
pst.000063504644Do you think she's on the wrong track?
pst.000063504644Do you think that now is the time to clearly state that ultimately we are leaving Iraq?
pst.000063504644Do you think that's the reason we have n't equipped?
pst.000063504644Do you, would you have any suggestions in that regard?
pst.000063504644Doctor, anything?
pst.000063504644Dodge, any?
pst.000063504644Does General Abizaid support an increase in troops?
pst.000063504644Does any other — is that a unanimous opinion?
pst.000063504644Does anybody see that in their lifetime?
pst.000063504644Does anybody think that's possible?
pst.000063504644Does anyone have a general comment on this?
pst.000063504644Does he supervise the rest of this crew?
pst.000063504644Does he want a government that's just dominated by 375 the Shiites?
pst.000063504644Does it alarm you?
pst.000063504644Does it make sense that USIP's appropriation for Iraq has been cut 40 percent?
pst.000063504644Does it matter about the of the troops that will show up on the Iraq side?
pst.000063504644Does it matter whether the Iraqis show up or not, for our purposes of executing this plan?
pst.000063504644Does it mean an envoy?
pst.000063504644Does it mean the President has to have more personal involvement?
pst.000063504644Does that mean 12 months?
pst.000063504644Does that not confuse both publics?
pst.000063504644Does that not confuse the people of the Middle East, when we have these major criticisms of each other publicly?
pst.000063504644Does the March 2006 offer still stand?
pst.000063504644Does the administration's new plan for Iraq promise to eliminate all outside support to the warring factions?
pst.000063504644Does the executive branch believe the objectives set forth in section 3(a) of Pubic Law 107–243 have been achieved and why?
pst.000063504644Does the nature of the de- bate that is taking place here in Congress on our Iraq policy em- bolden our enemies?
pst.000063504644Dr. Korb, anything?
pst.000063504644Dr. Korb, could you respond to that?
pst.000063504644Ed, if you make it brief, OK?
pst.000063504644Escalation is also a ques- tion of, “ Are you changing the strategic goal of what you're trying to do? ” Senator HAGEL.
pst.000063504644Finally, is it in the U.S. interest to have launched a war in pursuit of any of these aims?
pst.000063504644First of all you mentioned, should the United States take the lead?
pst.000063504644First, what can be said about the situation in Iraq today?
pst.000063504644First, what specific conditions should we look at and consider most strongly?
pst.000063504644First, where is Iraq today?
pst.000063504644Five thousand?
pst.000063504644Five thousand?
pst.000063504644Five years?
pst.000063504644Five years?
pst.000063504644For example: How can there be a unity government with Sadr?
pst.000063504644For having these hearings?
pst.000063504644For the extended IRRF funds?
pst.000063504644For what political authority are Iraqi soldiers and police willing to risk their lives?
pst.000063504644From a historical perspective, how big a contributor to the economy of Iraq was agriculture in the 1950s, let's say, or the 1940s or the 1960s?
pst.000063504644General Jones, is there more we can be doing on the mili ary side to deal with the terrorism that is disrupting the oil production?
pst.000063504644General McCaffrey, you have a thought on that?
pst.000063504644General, do you think they mean that?
pst.000063504644General, excuse me, how could the Sunnis conclude that they could win, militarily?
pst.000063504644Given that these have worked pretty well in Afghanistan, why has it taken so long to get PRTs up and running in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Given these funding shortfalls on the Iraqi side, what is the rationale for additional United States reconstruction assistance for Iraq?
pst.000063504644Given this situation, what prognosis may be made?
pst.000063504644Go to the Saudis and basically say to the Saudis, You want to get us to produce a cease- fire there?
pst.000063504644Great opposition, you say?
pst.000063504644Had the mosque — had the Samarra mosque been taken out, at that point?
pst.000063504644Has he figured out anything?
pst.000063504644Has he moved from neoisolationism to engaging the rest of the world? ” Remember that?
pst.000063504644Has he moved from neoisolationism to engaging the rest of the world? ” Remember that?
pst.000063504644Has much changed since you issued your report, in the context of that assessment?
pst.000063504644Has the President articulated what this strategy is, this grand new strategy?
pst.000063504644Has the President changed his mind?
pst.000063504644Has, as they say, too much water gone under the bridge to be able to get to the point where there is a possibility of a political solution?
pst.000063504644Have the PRTs been ef- fective in empowering moderate parties?
pst.000063504644Have we accounted for the likely obstacles to military success?
pst.000063504644Have we scheduled, yet, a hearing on John Negroponte?
pst.000063504644Have we started that process yet?
pst.000063504644Have you seen the recent news that the British are going to be bringing home thousands of troops in the near future?
pst.000063504644Help or did it hurt our situation in Afghanistan?
pst.000063504644Hey, General, how are you?
pst.000063504644How and when do we begin to drawdown our combat presence and conclude our mission in a way that does not leave even greater chaos behind?
pst.000063504644How are we going to address these two issues?
pst.000063504644How are you going to get Iraqis to begin to address their political problems?
pst.000063504644How are you going to quantify that?
pst.000063504644How can anyone say, today, that our policy toward Iran is working?
pst.000063504644How can it happen with Sadr?
pst.000063504644How can that work?
pst.000063504644How can the United States recover from this strategic blunder?
pst.000063504644How can we examine them?
pst.000063504644How can we keep from being used as one of our witnesses yesterday suggested may be happening?
pst.000063504644How can we prevent it from becoming worse than it is?
pst.000063504644How can, over and over, the representatives at the high- est level of the U.S. military come in here and say what they are saying to us?
pst.000063504644How could that be true?
pst.000063504644How deep is the Iraqi support for both the administration's new plan and Prime Minister Maliki's security plan?
pst.000063504644How did these tragedies begin?
pst.000063504644How do we do that?
pst.000063504644How do we engage Jordan, Kuwait, others, in a more serious way in the steps that need to occur?
pst.000063504644How do we get other regional players to be involved in a proactive way?
pst.000063504644How do we get them to have that national spirit, versus the sectarian spirit they have right now?
pst.000063504644How do we get to do that?
pst.000063504644How do we leverage incentives to involve regional leaders?
pst.000063504644How do we measure the current situation in Iraq?
pst.000063504644How do we repair readiness and rebuild our Strategic Reserve?
pst.000063504644How do we restore international credibility?
pst.000063504644How do we start to bring him to us instead of to Iran?
pst.000063504644How do we — how do we crack that door?
pst.000063504644How do you change that?
pst.000063504644How do you convince the Shiites?
pst.000063504644How do you deal with that?
pst.000063504644How do you define mature?
pst.000063504644How do you determine that?
pst.000063504644How do you get at this?
pst.000063504644How do you get the American public to understand the consequences of failure?
pst.000063504644How do you get the world to look at you suggested, in the Bosnian- type situation- how do you get the rest of the world to buy into that?
pst.000063504644How do you respond to that?
pst.000063504644How do you see that?
pst.000063504644How does that play in the neighborhood?
pst.000063504644How does that possibly work?
pst.000063504644How is it — as you answer these questions, I would ask, in my time that's left- tell me how is it that you would change the dynamics?
pst.000063504644How is that to be divided up?
pst.000063504644How long do we stay there, under — even under your plan- let's assume, for argument sakes, this is your plan- how long do we stay?
pst.000063504644How many American diplomats does the State Department have in Iraq?
pst.000063504644How many more dead will that be?
pst.000063504644How many more tax dollars are they willing to pour into Iraq?
pst.000063504644How many more tax dollars are they willing to pour into Iraq?
pst.000063504644How many politically reliable Iraqi Army and police do you assess there to be?
pst.000063504644How many tools have we thrown away?
pst.000063504644How many troops do you think we should have there?
pst.000063504644How many troops do you think we should have there?
pst.000063504644How many will be placed in Provincial Reconstruction Teams?
pst.000063504644How much U.S.-provided equipment is being transferred to militias now?
pst.000063504644How much experience does the average PRT team leader have?
pst.000063504644How much from us?
pst.000063504644How much is plussed up on those funds?
pst.000063504644How much longer are they willing to have our troops stay in Iraq?
pst.000063504644How much longer are they willing to have our troops stay in Iraq?
pst.000063504644How much of Baghdad will it include?
pst.000063504644How should the United States — how should the Secretary of State be conducting our foreign policy in the region?
pst.000063504644How thin can we get spread and still handle it?
pst.000063504644How weakened is our standing in the world and our support from foreign peoples?
pst.000063504644How will American forces avoid becoming embroiled in Baghdad's sectarian violence?
pst.000063504644How would Iran and Syria react to the credible threat of a United States redeployment from Iraq?
pst.000063504644How would it be catastrophic?
pst.000063504644How would that happen, since each of the major constituencies have no interest in al- Qaeda occupying any part of their territory?
pst.000063504644How would you characterize Prime Minister Maliki's relationship with Muqtada al- Sadr?
pst.000063504644How would you characterize the ongoing struggle?
pst.000063504644How's that?
pst.000063504644Huh?
pst.000063504644Hundred of millions?
pst.000063504644I am inter- ested what conditions or what framework or what approach you would use to structure these conversations, in very practical terms?
pst.000063504644I asked him the question, and the ques- tion was: How many will it take, and for how long?
pst.000063504644I asked you whether, as a result of our Iraqi intervention, are we more secure, vis- a- vis al- Qaeda?
pst.000063504644I believe in your article in the Times you also talked about benchmarks — if the Iraqis fail to meet the benchmarks, what do we do about it?
pst.000063504644I guess the essential question I want to ask is: What do we do?
pst.000063504644I have 8 seconds?
pst.000063504644I know everyone's not here, but is that all right with you, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000063504644I know my time is up — are we going to have a second round, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000063504644I know there's security concerns, but why has n't it been made more of a priority in the past?
pst.000063504644I mean, 30,000 troops or 20,000 troops, is there anybody who imagines, measured against the task, that that's enough to do the job?
pst.000063504644I mean, are n't we making a little bit much of these benchmarks?
pst.000063504644I mean, was it a major component?
pst.000063504644I mean, what's the cor- relation between the intensity of support for being part of a militia and the sectarian violence and being unemployed?
pst.000063504644I say to my friend from Florida, I have taken his advice and if it's all right with him, right?
pst.000063504644I think the President precisely, last night, said “ over 20,000 troops. ” What is that exact number, or what is the upper limit on that?
pst.000063504644I wanted to ask one more question, but, Dr. Car- penter, Dr. Kagan, if you wanted to weigh in?
pst.000063504644I was having scores of interview requests, and some of you were also being asked, “ Has the administration become internationalist?
pst.000063504644I was told, if it really is a brief question- do you have one ques- tion left, Senator?
pst.000063504644I will also try to address the question: Why are these con- flicts taking such a violent form?
pst.000063504644I wonder whether or not the Senator would yield to Senator Casey?
pst.000063504644I would- you know, you spoke of, is it, Ms. al- Rahim?
pst.000063504644I'd say to my colleagues, I've just been informed there is a — is it a vote or a live quorum?
pst.000063504644I'm asking your view — was our pursuit of democracy, the stages that occurred there, appropriate?
pst.000063504644IS COMPROMISE POSSIBLE?
pst.000063504644If all this fails, what do you see as the downside?
pst.000063504644If anything, people are going, correct?
pst.000063504644If it was not, was there, at any point, an opportunity for these institutions that buttress democracy to grow?
pst.000063504644If it's not open- ended, does that mean you're prepared, if they fail, to pull out, to terminate?
pst.000063504644If not, when was it rescinded and under what circumstances?
pst.000063504644If security and economic and military efforts do n't work in this Presi- dent's New Way Forward?
pst.000063504644If the American troop presence is causing the bloodshed, why are Iraqis killing each other, rather than coalition forces, in growing numbers?
pst.000063504644If the Kurds are unable to defend their borders themselves, how will the Shia be able to do so?
pst.000063504644If the international community sought to divide Baghdad, where would it draw the line?
pst.000063504644If those troops are given a specific objective, or an objective to support one of these other political or economic issues, which would it be?
pst.000063504644If we were to withdra cipitously, if we were to leave without finishing the mission, what does that do to the esteem of America abroad?
pst.000063504644If you do n't mind?
pst.000063504644If you had to take a bet, how many of you would bet that Maliki is the Prime Minister in November of this year?
pst.000063504644If you look at the Iraq Study Group, my 751 God love them, they have proposals, but what do they say?
pst.000063504644If you'd asked us 2 years ago: What's the major source of those attacks?
pst.000063504644In a different direction; and move, in the case of the regional partners?
pst.000063504644In addition to Iraq, they'll be disrupted in other countries as well?
pst.000063504644In essence, troops and/or ships of the fleet or air units or what have you in the region, but not in Iraq?
pst.000063504644In light of the past, why should n't we take that say we're going to increase it 50 percent, we're going to increase it 100 percent?
pst.000063504644In other words, is it possible to have a strong central government without a dictatorship or an authoritarian regime in Iraq?
pst.000063504644In saying where we are?
pst.000063504644In the effort to support him in his position as Prime Minister?
pst.000063504644In the last 18 months, we have given a lot of thought to one question: Why did our son die?
pst.000063504644In this — is this strat- egy likely to succeed?
pst.000063504644In what sense?
pst.000063504644In your opinion, can there be a political deal that achieves a unified Îraq, with the presence of Muqtada al- Sadr?
pst.000063504644Including Kurdistan?
pst.000063504644Including Kurdistan?
pst.000063504644Instead of acting as if it's some kind of thing that'll never happen?
pst.000063504644Iraq?
pst.000063504644Iraqis?
pst.000063504644Is all of the Maliki government in support of America's significant esca- lation of troops and all the other things the President talked about?
pst.000063504644Is he still in charge of de- Baathification?
pst.000063504644Is it a matter of capacity or is it a matter of resolve?
pst.000063504644Is it a religion?
pst.000063504644Is it a sect?
pst.000063504644Is it an ethnic group?
pst.000063504644Is it as bleak as the President paints it for our inter- ests in the region and the country and the world?
pst.000063504644Is it as efficient as it can be within its ca- pabilities?
pst.000063504644Is it even re- motely possible?
pst.000063504644Is it going to be spent effectively?
pst.000063504644Is it only the Saddamites trying to come back into power?
pst.000063504644Is it pos- sible for that to happen?
pst.000063504644Is it possible to devise a framework that would encourage Iraq's neighbors to work coop- eratively to stabilize Iraq?
pst.000063504644Is it possible to talk with Iran without involving Iran's President?
pst.000063504644Is it remediable?
pst.000063504644Is it remediable?
pst.000063504644Is it transient?
pst.000063504644Is it worth the cost?
pst.000063504644Is it- am I right that your family fled Iraq because of Saddam Hussein?
pst.000063504644Is n't it fair to say security is worse today than it was before?
pst.000063504644Is n't that obvious to everybody?
pst.000063504644Is n't that pretty much recog- nized?
pst.000063504644Is n't that true?
pst.000063504644Is n't there a safe way to redeploy the troops?
pst.000063504644Is n't, in essence, what we are doing here with our troops a role of nation- building?
pst.000063504644Is our military bet- ter off than it was before Iraq intervention?
pst.000063504644Is our security situation, vis- a- vis Iran and North Korea, better than it was before the intervention in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Is security a prerequisite for political settlement, or is a political set- tlement a prerequisite for military success?
pst.000063504644Is that OK?
pst.000063504644Is that OK?
pst.000063504644Is that a fair characterization?
pst.000063504644Is that a fair statement, without speaking for all of you?
pst.000063504644Is that a fair statement?
pst.000063504644Is that a fair statement?
pst.000063504644Is that a fair statement?
pst.000063504644Is that a faulty mentality for us to take at this time?
pst.000063504644Is that a part of the mandate?
pst.000063504644Is that an appropriate mission for the U.S. military?
pst.000063504644Is that correct, General?
pst.000063504644Is that correct?
pst.000063504644Is that correct?
pst.000063504644Is that correct?
pst.000063504644Is that fair to say?
pst.000063504644Is that more likely to get action along the lines we need it, which is reconciliation of some sort?
pst.000063504644Is that my understanding of your testi- mony, or did I misunderstand it?
pst.000063504644Is that not a fair statement?
pst.000063504644Is that predicated on their sharing the oil wealth?
pst.000063504644Is that right?
pst.000063504644Is that the term you used?
pst.000063504644Is that what we're talking about?
pst.000063504644Is that what you mean?
pst.000063504644Is that what you would have said at that point in the mid-1990s?
pst.000063504644Is that what you're recommending?
pst.000063504644Is that what you're talking about?
pst.000063504644Is the Iraqi Government what we would wish?
pst.000063504644Is the President seeking changes to these authorities?
pst.000063504644Is the United States more secure now as a result of our military incursion into Iraq than we were before we entered Iraq?
pst.000063504644Is the current situation likely to last?
pst.000063504644Is the plan that you heard the President de- scribe last night, would you say it is largely your plan?
pst.000063504644Is there a New Way For- ward in protecting oil production, a New Way Forward in dealing with the corruption leakage?
pst.000063504644Is there a difference in views between the two of you?
pst.000063504644Is there a plan that will lead to a sustainable economic growth?
pst.000063504644Is there a price for such cooperation?
pst.000063504644Is there a timeframe for that withdrawal for you?
pst.000063504644Is there an answer to how many lives and how much money?
pst.000063504644Is there any appetite on the part of folks in the region to play a constructive role in trying to resolve this situation?
pst.000063504644Is there any place that you're familiar with where the administration has articulated this strategy?
pst.000063504644Is there any way the Saudis could avoid getting involved if this happens?
pst.000063504644Is there any way you can put a number on that?
pst.000063504644Is there anybody on the panel who thinks that it is the right ap- proach for us to escalate troop levels, at this point?
pst.000063504644Is there anybody who disagrees with that?
pst.000063504644Is there going to be a unity govern- ment, or another theocracy, like there is in Iran?
pst.000063504644Is there likely to be some reporting flow, in which you get information from the Ambassador and you can share that for us?
pst.000063504644Is there reason to believe that this law could improve the security situation by guaranteeing the Sunnis a por- tion of the oil revenue?
pst.000063504644Is there something rare at this table among competition?
pst.000063504644Is this Iraqi program well- coordinated with the United States ef- 530 forts?
pst.000063504644Is this roughly what you're talking about?
pst.000063504644Is- anyone else want to comment?
pst.000063504644It is a significant problem, how do you get to that?
pst.000063504644It slipped my mind, the fund available to the military for reconstruction?
pst.000063504644It was a major effort — what do you all think about that notion?
pst.000063504644It's a fairly vague standard, would n't you agree?
pst.000063504644It's all well and good for us to talk about this in an abstract way, but who's paying the price?
pst.000063504644It's nice not to have to wait all this time, is n't it?
pst.000063504644It's something in between; correct?
pst.000063504644It's the foundation of the President's escalation, OK?
pst.000063504644It's very easy to understand that, right?
pst.000063504644Jaysh al- Mandi?
pst.000063504644Last time you'll help him write a speech, huh?
pst.000063504644Let me define it so we can get into it, OK?
pst.000063504644Let me finish up by asking: Given this situation, what prognosis may be made?
pst.000063504644Let's assume that the law passed by the Parliament, suspended for 18 months now, what, 10 months left?
pst.000063504644Limiting the number of troops makes it difficult; even, practically, How do you do that?
pst.000063504644May I give a crack at that, Senator?
pst.000063504644May I make a brief comment?
pst.000063504644May I say a c about this?
pst.000063504644May I try and answer that?
pst.000063504644May I?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, I'm often asked: What is the difference between the plan that you and Les Gelb have put forward and the plan that I have outlined?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, a procedural question, if I may?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, did you say harder than in Viet- nam?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, do you remember that?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, how am I doing on time?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, if I may?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, may I add?
pst.000063504644Mr. Chairman, may I place this in the record?
pst.000063504644My question is: What do you define"success"as being?
pst.000063504644My time is up, but General, do you want to quickly respond to that?
pst.000063504644Need for it?
pst.000063504644No, within the next 3 days?
pst.000063504644No. ” Well, where are we today?
pst.000063504644No?
pst.000063504644Now we're trying to figure out: How do we stand up a state and get out of there?
pst.000063504644Now who's going to do that?
pst.000063504644Now, Dr. Marr, have you ever read the book, “ The Reckoning, ” by Sandra Mackey?
pst.000063504644Now, I listen to that, and I say, is n't that, in essence, what we're doing?
pst.000063504644Now, after 4 years and all that we've put in, and we're continuing to put more in, what is your measurement of success?
pst.000063504644Now, are the Sunni- Shia coalition members, and the Kurds, of Maliki's govern- ment, are they all supporting our new position?
pst.000063504644Now, has there been a specific date put on there?
pst.000063504644Now, how do we restore it?
pst.000063504644Now, how do you overcome their resistance?
pst.000063504644Now, how much time do you give them to make substantial progress?
pst.000063504644Now, how would you redeploy?
pst.000063504644Now, the issue is: Who pays the price?
pst.000063504644Now, the other question?
pst.000063504644Now, what about Sadr City?
pst.000063504644Now, where are we today?
pst.000063504644Now, why is protecting and securing the population so impor- tant?
pst.000063504644Now, will the population stop fighting if we give them security?
pst.000063504644Now, will there be some progress where people will see it, and — some near- term progress?
pst.000063504644OK. Can you tell us what percentage of the fund- ing in these programs has gone to American companies?
pst.000063504644OK. Mr. Chairman- oh, you want to add something there?
pst.000063504644OK. Now, we lead- under your plan, we lead this fight, do we not?
pst.000063504644OK. What different scenarios do you see playing out if, in fact, Prime Minister Maliki is serious and acts on his commitment?
pst.000063504644OK?
pst.000063504644OK?
pst.000063504644OK?
pst.000063504644Oh, is that right?
pst.000063504644On the diplomatic front?
pst.000063504644On the other hand, what's the path to success?
pst.000063504644Once 32% Twice-12% Three times-3% More than three times—3% Never/ no response-50%( 4) How many times have you deployed to Afghanistan?
pst.000063504644One is: How do Iraqis'neighbors see their interests?
pst.000063504644One is: What can we be doing to help facilitate this?
pst.000063504644One is: What will it take us to succeed?
pst.000063504644One of the questions I have, as well, is: What is the role of Sistani?
pst.000063504644One trillion?
pst.000063504644One, where will the funding and support come from?
pst.000063504644One, which is more effective?
pst.000063504644Or am I overreading?
pst.000063504644Or are they working through a political process?
pst.000063504644Or do people simply think: This is the way the United States works, it's the way the Congress works, and folks understand that?
pst.000063504644Or do think there's another reason, or other reasons?
pst.000063504644Or do you have an opinion on that?
pst.000063504644Or do you make that distinction?
pst.000063504644Or else what?
pst.000063504644Or else what?
pst.000063504644Or is it a transient stage?
pst.000063504644Or is it the symbol of the state of Iraq?
pst.000063504644Or is it time to redefine our aims?
pst.000063504644Or is it transient?
pst.000063504644Or is the fact that we're going to have soldiers there, present as the answer to Mr. Webb's question — make it impossible?
pst.000063504644Or public?
pst.000063504644Or should the withdrawal be complete staged, orderly, but out of there altogether?
pst.000063504644Or there is a plan and you thought you shared it with us?
pst.000063504644Or what would you like to see are the most im- portant two or three?
pst.000063504644Or while there are?
pst.000063504644Or will they serve to prime the pump to create long- term employment?
pst.000063504644Or years?
pst.000063504644Or, if you were the President, what do you think is the essence of where we go from here, and why?
pst.000063504644Or, in the sectarian situation, is there going to be a sense, for a while, of minority rights, rather than winner- take- all?
pst.000063504644Or- withdrawal based on?
pst.000063504644Other than Iran and Syria, what indications do we have from regional leaders that they are willing to put Iraq's interests first?
pst.000063504644Our troop presence is fueling the insurgency?
pst.000063504644Pardon?
pst.000063504644People tend to forget that Prime Minister Maliki, when he came in — what was his first big initiative, immediately?
pst.000063504644People would look back at this moment in history and say, what happened to them in America?
pst.000063504644Physically, how can the billion dollars be spent?
pst.000063504644Pillar?
pst.000063504644Political piece, please?
pst.000063504644Putting 22,000 new troops — more troops in is not an escalation?
pst.000063504644Questions about whether or not this whole thing is going to work, and they're putting their lives on the line?
pst.000063504644Quite 164 northern Irao?"
pst.000063504644Quite apart from political constraints, how long can the United States sustain this deployment militarily?
pst.000063504644R • Will United States forces be under Iraqi command or operational control?
pst.000063504644Reach out to those who have been ignored, with aggressive diplomacy?
pst.000063504644Recent past meaning weeks?
pst.000063504644Second, how can we account for this situation?
pst.000063504644Second: How can we account for this sit- uation?
pst.000063504644Senator Casey, why do n't you proceed?
pst.000063504644Senator Lugar, may I intervene to ask you a question, and our panel?
pst.000063504644Senator Webb, do you have any further questions?
pst.000063504644Senator, could I just say one thing?
pst.000063504644Senator, do you have anything you'd like to say?
pst.000063504644Senator, if I could just comment a mo- ment longer on what you just raised — what's happening on the ground?
pst.000063504644Senator, if I may respond to your question?
pst.000063504644Senator, would you tell me, specifically, how would the United States do that?
pst.000063504644Senator?
pst.000063504644Shall I answer?
pst.000063504644Shall † go to Iran?
pst.000063504644Share with us your views, at the time that discussion was going on — were you supportive of it, not supportive of it?
pst.000063504644Should Amer- ica reach out to Syria and Iran?
pst.000063504644Should any of the armed Sunni groups be included and on what conditions?
pst.000063504644Should the Iraqis lead this process, or should the United States?
pst.000063504644Should we attempt to expand neighborhood- level security in Baghdad or elsewhere?
pst.000063504644Should we increase troop levels to achieve such a mission?
pst.000063504644Since when?
pst.000063504644So does the United States come along and say, “ We're changing your Constitution? ” Ms. RAHIM.
pst.000063504644So guess what?
pst.000063504644So say that does n't work, what's plan B in terms of getting the Iraqis to get it right politically?
pst.000063504644So that there was no"Iraq, ” per se, until after World War I?
pst.000063504644So the$ 538 million supplemental would not cover any of the CERP funds?
pst.000063504644So then the question is: What happens to the Sunnis if the Shiites take over?
pst.000063504644So then, is it all going to be against the Sunnis?
pst.000063504644So what do we do to change the Constitution?
pst.000063504644So will there be a regional conflict?
pst.000063504644So, I guess my question to you is: Could you respond to this poll?
pst.000063504644So, I think the generals who are over there are in a box, and if you ask them the question,"Have you got enough equipment? ” they'll say yes.
pst.000063504644So, I would ask: How do you encourage Saudi Arabia properly to get involved?
pst.000063504644So, I would say to you, Senator, how much do you think it's going to cost in American lives when the terrorists around the planet are emboldened?
pst.000063504644So, I — is that what you're saying?
pst.000063504644So, another 4 years, we take another look, and maybe the Congress should look at a resolution, and maybe it should n't?
pst.000063504644So, are n't those some of the things that we should be doing?
pst.000063504644So, are you gon na let us know exactly what kind of standards are being used?
pst.000063504644So, how about at least giving it some thought?
pst.000063504644So, how can we get it where it looks like it's sort of working in 24 months?
pst.000063504644So, how can you explain to us that the political divisions in Iraq are going to be resolved?
pst.000063504644So, how do the tragedies impact these peo- ple?
pst.000063504644So, how do you get them to act?
pst.000063504644So, how would you game out or play out that situation?
pst.000063504644So, if I had said to you, that, in the 1990s, you would have said, “ Well, that's good, but how's their daily life?"
pst.000063504644So, in terms of the funding that has been going forward from what point?
pst.000063504644So, in your opinion, what are those consequences?
pst.000063504644So, is n't the question really — if we're going to change the direction here, is n't it about having benchmarks with consequences and deadlines?
pst.000063504644So, is there something to work with there?
pst.000063504644So, it begs the question: What can we do?
pst.000063504644So, my first question is how: How serious is the progress and what are the obstacles that remain for them to complete the deal?
pst.000063504644So, my only question is: How do we create a condition so we can leave?
pst.000063504644So, my question is: Is there not a real sense of urgency?
pst.000063504644So, my question to each of you is: If all these dynamics are in play, as you have just noted, then where is this going?
pst.000063504644So, my question to each of you is: Where do we go from here?
pst.000063504644So, the United States would be there with what?
pst.000063504644So, the question is: How do you stop the thing that we're all saying we do n't want to have happen?
pst.000063504644So, there are no neat groups that one can resort to or revert to in a partition formula whereby one can say: What do the Sunnis say?
pst.000063504644So, what do we barter, for specifics, like stopping arming of the Mahdi Army?
pst.000063504644So, what is going on?
pst.000063504644So, what is our proposal?
pst.000063504644So, what is the timeframe for that?
pst.000063504644So, what's the raison d'etat for this?
pst.000063504644So, who pays the price?
pst.000063504644So, why do we keep pushing a rope here?
pst.000063504644So, why does the conflict in Iraq take such violent forms?
pst.000063504644So, why the opposition?
pst.000063504644So, would you advocate a phased with- 516 drawal, or would you advocate getting our troops out as quickly as is consistent with their safety?
pst.000063504644So: Does the number take account of any drawdown of British or other troops?
pst.000063504644Some have asked us: What does the Arab- Israeli conflict have to do with the war in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Speaker Gingrich, do you have a perspective on that?
pst.000063504644Speaker Gingrich, what should Congress be doing right now about this?
pst.000063504644Starting tomorrow and over the fol- lowing 3 weeks, we will turn to those options and ask: Where do we go from here?
pst.000063504644Temporary situation that means that a lot of them are not going to not come home?
pst.000063504644Ten thousand?
pst.000063504644Ten thousand?
pst.000063504644Ten years?
pst.000063504644Ten years?
pst.000063504644That been the reaction you've heard?
pst.000063504644That's a little different circumstance than dealing with an insurgency, is n't it?
pst.000063504644That- am I missing what you're saying?
pst.000063504644The Badr Organization?
pst.000063504644The Military Times?
pst.000063504644The Palestinian- conflict can not affect these dynamics; but could Iran and Syria?
pst.000063504644The Saudis and the Jordanians, theoretically against the Iranians, and the Syrians in between, is that really ap- pealing to anybody in the region?
pst.000063504644The central issue: What is this grand strategy in Iraq?
pst.000063504644The central question is: If America leaves Iraq and things start to unravel, what's going to happen?
pst.000063504644The difficult question is: How do you break with your boss when you do n't agree with him?
pst.000063504644The first is: Where is Iraq today?
pst.000063504644The issue just at what point do you say, “ That's a mirage and we're not going to pay any more in pursuit of it"?
pst.000063504644The issue that we will ask him to discuss is: What do Iraq's neighbors want?
pst.000063504644The key issue is: How do you get Iraqis, particularly those that are going to be in the political process, to reconcile?
pst.000063504644The need for it, but not how it's going to happen and why do we have to wait 3 years to have that?
pst.000063504644The question is: Can you hold it, and can you build it after you've cleared it out?
pst.000063504644The question is: How do we have a surge, an escalation, in a political process that gives us the ulti- mate success that we want?
pst.000063504644The question is: How does one do that?
pst.000063504644The question is: Now that we are where we are, is it possible to win?
pst.000063504644The question is: What are the consequences to the Iraqi Government?
pst.000063504644The question is: What will our Government do, specifically, if benchmarks are not met?
pst.000063504644The second answer to your question, which is really — if I can take it — what's the plan B?
pst.000063504644The second problem that has dominated the politics of the country since the fall of Saddam Hussein, is the question who should rule?
pst.000063504644Then how do you measure that?
pst.000063504644There has not been any legislation introduced, there has not been any legislation passed, am I correct in that?
pst.000063504644There is training, but where is the diplo- matic focus and effort?
pst.000063504644There's a very simple test: Are indi- viduals engaged in violence as a pursuit of their political or indi- vidual ambitions?
pst.000063504644These are going to be judgments by people on the ground?
pst.000063504644These are judgments, though, right?
pst.000063504644They look at him right in the face and say, “ What are you talking about?
pst.000063504644They say, “ Oh, the Iraqi Government wants us here and there. ” What about the Iraqi people?
pst.000063504644They're saying, “ How do I live through the next phase of Iraq's existence? ” And it's difficult for them to sort that out.
pst.000063504644Third, are you able to report to us at this time what progress is actually being made on de- Baathification?
pst.000063504644Third, you refer to benchmarks in the report, but is it not necessary to have benchmarks with some form of condition- ality?
pst.000063504644This is not the old debate,"Should we have negotiations with Syria?
pst.000063504644This is — so, the key question is: What kind of a presence, in what manner, and for what outcome, in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Those, but do the Iraqi people believe that more good is being delivered?
pst.000063504644To deal with this market price issue, so as to undercut some of the corruption?
pst.000063504644To do that?
pst.000063504644To do what has to be done?
pst.000063504644To quote 1stSgt Marc Biletski while under sniper fire in the capital last week, “ Who the hell is shooting at us?
pst.000063504644To what extent is it historical?
pst.000063504644Twenty years?
pst.000063504644Two thou- sand?
pst.000063504644Two thousand?
pst.000063504644Two years?
pst.000063504644Two, how are we going to address the security issues that confine them, when we're de- ploying troops elsewhere?
pst.000063504644Undependent?
pst.000063504644WHAT IF?
pst.000063504644WHAT NEXT?
pst.000063504644WHAT WOULD A REVISED STRATEGY LOOK LIKE?
pst.000063504644WILL IRAQ STAY TOGETHER?
pst.000063504644Was the Vice Presi- dent involved?
pst.000063504644We have seen, for the last 5 years,"Give us 6 more months, give us 3 more months, and things will change. ” How many times do we have to do it?
pst.000063504644We made sure — we convinced President Reagan that — what was that guy's name that had to go?
pst.000063504644We'll have 7-minute rounds with these two witnesses, all right?
pst.000063504644We're threatening consequences?
pst.000063504644Well, Ambassador, we got your testimony, I think, after 7 o'clock last night?
pst.000063504644Well, I think it depends on the Turkish general staff there, does n't it?
pst.000063504644Well, are we better off, vis- a- vis Iran and North Korea, than we were prior to the intervention in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Well, are you recommending, then, that things stay as is until they get so bad that people start making those kinds of deals?
pst.000063504644Well, how do you work your way out of the mess?
pst.000063504644Well, studying your data, what dynamics or variables, in your view, have had the most significant impact on re- ducing violence in Iraq?
pst.000063504644Well, that's a recipe for a long struggle between them, is n't it?
pst.000063504644Well, under your scenario, it's not a state, cor- rect?
pst.000063504644Well, what do you all think the President meant when he said America's commitment is not open- ended?
pst.000063504644Well, you just said — and I wrote it down- that you're not sure who Maliki is exactly: Does he want a unity government?
pst.000063504644What I think might work — and, again, like you, I'm searching for- given where we are, what's the best outcome?

pst.000063504644Would you state the last phrase again?
pst.000063504644Would you support that?
pst.000063504644Yeah?
pst.000063504644You all agree that we need to engage more in the region, and get more parties involved in Iraq, but what is the best way to do that?
pst.000063504644You all agree with that?
pst.000063504644You also mentioned that America's commitment is not open- ended, but when does it end?
pst.000063504644You believe containment is more likely than in- ternal stability?
pst.000063504644You can demur, you can not answer, but if you're willing, which side of that ledger do you — are more inclined to come down on?
pst.000063504644You divide the country up, you give the South to who?
pst.000063504644You do n't know that at this moment?
pst.000063504644You do n't mind Dr. Brookings, do you?
pst.000063504644You do that by continuing to put more troops in Baghdad?
pst.000063504644You had one other question?
pst.000063504644You had to put the hammer down now, huh?
pst.000063504644You have to ask yourself: What's the purpose?
pst.000063504644You made those recommendations directly to the President, did you not?
pst.000063504644You may think you're going to get stability by recognizing these divisions, and drawing lines, but who is going to protect the seams?
pst.000063504644You mean I can get unanimous consent on changing the rules about seniority?
pst.000063504644You mean January 11?
pst.000063504644You said “ Iraqi lead? ” General McCAFFREY.
pst.000063504644You say: How do we get to the end of this?
pst.000063504644You talk about achieving a bi- isan, and Congress — is there any way to get the American peo- ple to understand the cost of failure?
pst.000063504644You will submit that for the record?
pst.000063504644You're con the present course will not succeed?
pst.000063504644You're going to be giving people money other than, sort of, some vague form of payola?
pst.000063504644Your question is much more of a strategic one, in terms of: Are we picking sides here?
pst.000063504644command?
pst.000063504644forces for an indeterminate period of time?
pst.000063504644thi 251 My final point relates to the major outstanding issue for Kurdistan, namely boundaries of Kurdistan?

pst.000058944820A little bit more about the size of this-- and do you see this as sort of an expanded Governing Council or an entirely different entity?
pst.000058944820A military intelligence person asked him, do you think we have crossed the line?
pst.000058944820A third of the way there?
pst.000058944820Afghanistan?
pst.000058944820Again, on the units that have been notified, how many guardsmen and reservists are anticipated to be participating in OIF-3?
pst.000058944820Am I correct?
pst.000058944820Am I correct?
pst.000058944820Am I correct?
pst.000058944820Am I quoting correctly?
pst.000058944820Am I reading this correctly?
pst.000058944820Am I right, General Sharp?
pst.000058944820Am I the only one?
pst.000058944820Ambassador, do you believe it has disas- trous consequences, in your opinion?
pst.000058944820Ambassador, is it true that we have a status- of- forces agree- ment with every country with whom we have troops deployed?
pst.000058944820Ambassador, is it true that we have a status- of- forces agree- ment with every country with whom we have troops deployed?
pst.000058944820And General Franks, at the time being the commander, when asked directly by the Secretary, do you think this plan is suitable to be on the shelf?
pst.000058944820And I am wondering now, are you seeing that broadened?
pst.000058944820And I am wondering, how are we thinking through those deci- sions now?
pst.000058944820And I just wanted to ask, is there a new vetting process of trying to figure out who are the bad guys and who are the good people?
pst.000058944820And I said, now, how are you going to handle that one?
pst.000058944820And I would ask my colleague from Mississippi if he has any closing remarks that he would like to make for the record?
pst.000058944820And a technical question: What preparations are you making for the security for United Nations personnel here if not from the United States military?
pst.000058944820And also, the issue of the numbers of foreign fighters that you feel- has that di- minished greatly?
pst.000058944820And also, were you able to meet with any representative of Grand Ayatollah Ali Sistani?
pst.000058944820And are we using them as freestanding MEUs or are they going to be put together as a single unit?
pst.000058944820And as I talked with her, I asked if she had anything for me to do?
pst.000058944820And did any of you here testifying today know of that change?
pst.000058944820And did any of you here today know that it had been signed?
pst.000058944820And did they pro- vide the resources for the unit assigned the mission?
pst.000058944820And do you know if there was any corrections issued, as the question was?
pst.000058944820And do you think he is going to ask you to do it?
pst.000058944820And had it been, could we have avoided this, or would this have likely happened in any event?
pst.000058944820And have we systematically been taking stock of the problems to date and correcting them before Americans and Iraqis die as sult?
pst.000058944820And have you met those and what has happened in those meetings?
pst.000058944820And how are we building a sense of investment on the part of the Iraqis in the outcome of these forces?
pst.000058944820And how are you maintaining accountability over their work product and the amount of money going to contractors?
pst.000058944820And how do we always get from one step to the next step?
pst.000058944820And how do we respond to that?
pst.000058944820And how do you believe that this migration happened?
pst.000058944820And if not, what do we do next?
pst.000058944820And if that is the reality, what are the measures that you are going to be taking to stop what's happening?
pst.000058944820And if we have a goal of having 27,000 of them by De- cember the 30th, where are we today?
pst.000058944820And if you were sent back tomorrow, would you feel safer or less safe than on your previous tour?
pst.000058944820And in the general prison sys- tem, do you have any idea?
pst.000058944820And is it possible that the Administration would not endorse this plan?
pst.000058944820And is there a lot of thinking about, rethinking about that?
pst.000058944820And is there any-- do they have to be Shi'a, Sunni?
pst.000058944820And it is not just coali- tion forces, but how do the Iraqi forces need to be shaped, sized, what should their missions and roles need to be?
pst.000058944820And just as important, how do we get back in track of restoring trust with the ordinary Iraqis to winning their hearts and minds?
pst.000058944820And just as importantly, how do we get back on track of restoring trust with ordinary Iraqis — of winning hearts and minds?
pst.000058944820And knowing the members of the governing council, is there any evidence of those members wanting to be a part of an elected Iraqi government?
pst.000058944820And looking back on it, is there not- could we not have looked at a different way as we were looking ahead on maintaining a supply line?
pst.000058944820And many Iraqis are saying, ca n't we do it sooner?
pst.000058944820And my concern, consistent with the bulldozers, is: Do we have a problem with supply and equipment and parts?
pst.000058944820And number two, do we have enough folks, that we are not overworking the ones that we have?
pst.000058944820And responsibility and accountability for that use?
pst.000058944820And second, how do you think the command structure will work?
pst.000058944820And second, under what scenarios do we put our ability to execute this strategy at risk by doing so with the current force levels?
pst.000058944820And so what am I supposed to do?
pst.000058944820And so what is being done about the violent criminals?
pst.000058944820And so you get into all of those kinds of issues, is that what you want to bring back?
pst.000058944820And so, my question is, how are we progressing there?
pst.000058944820And the U.N. will give sovereignty to the Iraqis on the 30th of June?
pst.000058944820And the inability to travel to Najaf, how did that affect your work here?
pst.000058944820And the other ques- tion would be, will the U.S. troops be under the Uniform Code of Military Justice?
pst.000058944820And the question is, should we?
pst.000058944820And the question remains, will we ever see the results of that, either on a classified or unclassified basis?
pst.000058944820And the question that I had before the war and many of us had before the war, are n't we taking our eye off the ball?
pst.000058944820And the question, General Myers, is have we been duped by a con man?
pst.000058944820And the second part of that is: A year ago, could we not have looked ahead?
pst.000058944820And then finally, if you get through that, give us a brief update on what Moqtada Sadr is up to today and what do we know about him?
pst.000058944820And then the other part of the question: Would it be appropriate for us to ask why he has been pulled off of the list, the four- star list?
pst.000058944820And then, you know, people have asked me how do you deter- mine success, or how do you measure success?
pst.000058944820And therefore there are no ships associated with the 24th MEU?
pst.000058944820And they were telling them: Hear those mortars going off out there?
pst.000058944820And they would say, “ How come I got this old piece of equipment? ” They thought that there was new equipment and the active guys had them.
pst.000058944820And two, has there been an assessment of the quality of recruit- ment?
pst.000058944820And was it a complete surprise, to the best that you know, that they got out?
pst.000058944820And we paid him and his na- tional congress millions of dollars; is that correct?
pst.000058944820And were you one of the ones who voted to increase defense funding by$ 43 billion over six years, which this committee did repeatedly?
pst.000058944820And what are we doing about Khomeini's activities fomenting so much unrest?
pst.000058944820And what can we in Congress do to assist in that process?
pst.000058944820And what did the Secretary say next?
pst.000058944820And what do those un- funded priorities include?
pst.000058944820And what does it mean that you think things are going easier somehow, and why?
pst.000058944820And what does that do to the normal MEU deploy- ments with the ARGs?
pst.000058944820And what happens now?
pst.000058944820And what if there is another contingency that requires substantial forces?
pst.000058944820And what is the average equipment readiness of units cur- rently operating in Iraq and Afghanistan?
pst.000058944820And what is the next step in providing security by the U.N. in Iraq?
pst.000058944820And what is the role of our Coalition partners, the United Nations and the international community in the weeks and months ahead?
pst.000058944820And what is, as of April the 1st, the unobligated balance on the$ 87 billion appropriated for Iraq and Afghanistan in October?
pst.000058944820And what is, as of April the 1st, the unobligated balance on the$ 87 billion appropriated for Iraq and Afghanistan in October?
pst.000058944820And what percentage of our force will be in Bosnia- type encampments?
pst.000058944820And what percentage of our force will be in Bosnia- type encampments?
pst.000058944820And what role does the Peshmerga play in security arrangements in Iraq in the future?
pst.000058944820And what role will the independent contractors play in that, as well?
pst.000058944820And what's the role of the U.N. in that?
pst.000058944820And when we asked her, Why do you continue working when it is so dangerous?
pst.000058944820And who turned them away and who settled the issue there?
pst.000058944820And who will make the ultimate decisions?
pst.000058944820And who would it be that we can negotiate that with between now and June 30th?
pst.000058944820And whose responsibility was it to make sure that they knew what they could do and what they could n't do?
pst.000058944820And will this interim government have a veto over U.S. military operations such as are taking place now in Fallujah?
pst.000058944820And would they be able to respond to emergencies, knowing that the equipment stays behind in the theater?
pst.000058944820And yes, we had failures on every different level, but you know what?
pst.000058944820And you are confident that the system will be able to handle the increased numbers that are all coming back at the same time?
pst.000058944820And you have got confidence in them?
pst.000058944820And you said that is a Clinton administration estimate?
pst.000058944820And you say, when did you plan to do this?
pst.000058944820And you wonder: Why is she in there involved in interrogation of prisoners at all?
pst.000058944820And you( must?)
pst.000058944820And, I mean, is there no plan, no thought beyond, you know, again, a temporary increase?
pst.000058944820And, Lakhdar Brahimi, is this agreeable to the Conventions of Geneva that manage the relations between the occupants and the occupied?
pst.000058944820And, if so, what would we do there?
pst.000058944820Any of the other generals want to comment?
pst.000058944820Any other comments from the panel regarding the insurgency in general?
pst.000058944820Anybody else want to comment on that?
pst.000058944820Anyone else?
pst.000058944820Are appro- priate support, care and protection mechanisms in place and are they effective?
pst.000058944820Are appropriate support, care and protection mechanisms in place and are they effective?
pst.000058944820Are innocent people going to be killed?
pst.000058944820Are there any of you that can answer this question?
pst.000058944820Are there any other places where solutions like the one found in Fallujah are being utilized right now?
pst.000058944820Are there any other places where solutions like the one found in Fallujah are being utilized right now?
pst.000058944820Are there any studies that will delve into this?
pst.000058944820Are there precinct maps of Iraq?
pst.000058944820Are they drawn from existing forces?
pst.000058944820Are they happy that they are separated from their Marines and sailors?
pst.000058944820Are they new troops that need to be recruited, trained and equipped?
pst.000058944820Are those going ashore and letting the ships sail away, or are the ships not part of this?
pst.000058944820Are those numbers coming up in terms of shortages?
pst.000058944820Are those restitutions going 550 to continue, and is it still going to continue to be our responsibility?
pst.000058944820Are we able to reach into the Iraqi civilian population and get good people and get them well trained?
pst.000058944820Are we being put in a position where we are putting our young men and women into jobs where they do n't have the training?
pst.000058944820Are we building a sense of investment on the part of the Iraqis?
pst.000058944820Are we con- sidering those when we think about our ability to engage the way we think that we should?
pst.000058944820Are we giving them everything we need, number one?
pst.000058944820Are we going to see any change here?
pst.000058944820Are we making progress there?
pst.000058944820Are we on schedule for persons on patrol to have the proper equipment?
pst.000058944820Are we on track now to have this equipment?
pst.000058944820Are we ready to go in there, and what will happen?
pst.000058944820Are we short now somewhere?
pst.000058944820Are we short somewhere?
pst.000058944820Are we sliding and undersizing, under- resourcing the mission in Afghanistan because of the exigent demands in Iraq?
pst.000058944820Are we still being fairly insular?
pst.000058944820Are we taking the steps to replace what is left behind?
pst.000058944820Are we taking the steps to replace what is left behind?
pst.000058944820Are we talking one year, two years, three years?
pst.000058944820Are we there today?
pst.000058944820Are we training these people to do what we are really asking them to · do?
pst.000058944820Are we treating the various ranks involved the same, or is there a disparity here?
pst.000058944820Are we working to get those in place then?
pst.000058944820Are you able to break this down by the type of mental health issue- for example, depression, anxiety, or PTSD?
pst.000058944820Are you aware as to whether these problems have been fixed, have been corrected?
pst.000058944820Are you aware of that, all the rumors going on?
pst.000058944820Are you getting intelligence from the outside?
pst.000058944820Are you guys familiar with this?
pst.000058944820Are you looking to achieve some sort of steady rate, 40 percent, 43 percent, or what might it be?
pst.000058944820Are you okay for a bit?
pst.000058944820Are you person- ally satisfied with the quality of our training?
pst.000058944820Are you personally satisfied with the quality of the training for the NCOs and for the officers?
pst.000058944820Are you satisfied that the key recommendations are being implemented right now?
pst.000058944820Are you satisfied that the process for making the decisions on these requests is well in place and is well scrubbed?
pst.000058944820Are you saying that the 81st would be one of those bri- gades that will be there longer than 12 months?
pst.000058944820Are you seeing many incidents of individuals who are being trained and then deserting and perhaps bringing that power against us?
pst.000058944820Are you suggesting that we are going to be in Iraq for longer than eight years?
pst.000058944820Are you talking about infrastructure?
pst.000058944820Are you telling me that we can or you do n't know?
pst.000058944820Are you worried about the effects on our all- volunteer forces if we are there for some period of time to come?
pst.000058944820Are you — is most of the intelligence coming from people in the community?
pst.000058944820As I sit here and at other opportunities where I have heard you make presentations, I always want to ask the question, is anybody listening?
pst.000058944820As usual, would you please identify yourself?
pst.000058944820As you look at the individuals who are engaged in leadership in the Iraqi Army or even in law enforcement, where are those people coming from?
pst.000058944820As you look back on that decision, what are your thoughts?
pst.000058944820At what level within his staff did they let him down?
pst.000058944820At what point do we stop pre- tending that this year will be the last the demand is so high?
pst.000058944820At what point do we stop pretending that this year will be the last the demand is this high and that next year will bring some relief?
pst.000058944820At what point one year ago — one year from today, what percentage of our Humvees do you expect will be up- armored?
pst.000058944820At what point?
pst.000058944820Be- cause it sort of gets to Mr. Langevin's question: Who is it we are handing it over to and what authorities do they have?
pst.000058944820But I am correct?
pst.000058944820But I am curious; what is your feeling about that?
pst.000058944820But I guess I wonder, were there no other sources or ways to know that there was a real prob- lem?
pst.000058944820But I have let me start off by saying, or asking you, have you read General Fay's report?
pst.000058944820But I mean, things like, to what extent do they need to coordi- nate their movements with U.S. military?
pst.000058944820But a question is, so what do you do about it?
pst.000058944820But again it gets back to, do they have the capability to try these people?
pst.000058944820But can you clarify to whom we are going to be transferring power to in June?
pst.000058944820But do they also have a substantial reserve or homeland division?
pst.000058944820But first, Mr. Ryan, what is your favorite TV sta- tion, just to put you on the spot?
pst.000058944820But how do you see this moving?
pst.000058944820But how far off am I on what we would refer to as these pocketbook issues if- if it were domestic politics?
pst.000058944820But in a rotation what is being done to maintain this human relationship?
pst.000058944820But in that effort, I think we are releas- ing- how many right now?
pst.000058944820But it seems to me we need to look at, as a big Army, as the Armed Forces, how did these leaders get there?
pst.000058944820But let me ask you, General, how is your time schedule and General Hagee?
pst.000058944820But more in particular, exactly what is the Civil Intervention Force( CIF)?
pst.000058944820But my question is: What lessons we have learned, you have learned the last 15 months?
pst.000058944820But of the other incidents, did any of them result in, if not fatalities, permanent injuries?
pst.000058944820But once again, my brother, if there is not a minimum of security, how can you bring people from the outside?
pst.000058944820But one of the concerns that many of us have had is: Do we give them the right kind of cultural awareness?
pst.000058944820But that cadre, my understanding, was going to be about 100 new drill sergeants?
pst.000058944820But the typical case wasn't- one of the journalists had insights to ask this guy, oh, so the mo- ment he tells you to do it, you do it?
pst.000058944820But then also, going in, they say, okay, what are the security arrangements?
pst.000058944820But then, like I think — what is the expression?
pst.000058944820But they still did it?
pst.000058944820But they were not?
pst.000058944820But those are n't getting in the media; are they?
pst.000058944820But what did he or others do in terms of taking specific steps to run this up the flag pole as high to the Pentagon as it could pos- sibly go?
pst.000058944820But what is being done to pick up violent criminals?
pst.000058944820But what is the forum?
pst.000058944820But where are we in regard to standing up the new Iraqi army?
pst.000058944820But who can argue that removing Saddam was wrong?
pst.000058944820But who is responsible for this failure?
pst.000058944820But who is this transitional government?
pst.000058944820But why I do n't fight the oc- cupier?
pst.000058944820But why should the uniform policies only be at the combatant command level?
pst.000058944820But would n't you agree that it would be per- ceived very poorly around the world?
pst.000058944820But would you please answer my question about what your vision is for the Middle East five years from now?
pst.000058944820But you are telling us that you never heard of any suspected abuse prior to Specialist Darby coming forward in January of 2004?
pst.000058944820But you have not read it?
pst.000058944820But you still do n't think there was torture done?
pst.000058944820But you think it is a rare and spotty problem, not a systemic problem we are having with equipment and vehicles maintenance and parts?
pst.000058944820But, I mean, hopefully as time goes by, you will have the Iraqi police?
pst.000058944820But, again, in that case the Iraqis are looking very hard at what is the long- term prospect for the Iraqi Civil Defense Corps?
pst.000058944820Can I ask for just a little time?
pst.000058944820Can I ask, why does the National Guard feel that they are n't being treated equally?
pst.000058944820Can I identify them now?
pst.000058944820Can I make one comment, Dr. Snyder?
pst.000058944820Can each of you comment on that?
pst.000058944820Can we do so without strain, without undue burdens on the force?
pst.000058944820Can we do so without strain?
pst.000058944820Can we go to Mrs. Tauscher first?
pst.000058944820Can you comment about what we are doing immediately?
pst.000058944820Can you elaborate a little bit on that?
pst.000058944820Can you elaborate?
pst.000058944820Can you give us a ballpark estimate?
pst.000058944820Can you give us a look into your crystal ball and tell us how you see this process going?
pst.000058944820Can you give us an idea of how that works?
pst.000058944820Can you give us roughly what the burn rate is, what the rate of monthly expendi- ture is?
pst.000058944820Can you give us roughly what the burn rate is, what the rate of monthly expenditure is?
pst.000058944820Can you hear me now, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000058944820Can you iron these wrinkles out?
pst.000058944820Can you just briefly tell me where the courts stand right now?
pst.000058944820Can you just briefly tell me where the courts stand right now?
pst.000058944820Can you promise to the people of Iraq that such a decision is going to be taken?
pst.000058944820Can you speak to that at all?
pst.000058944820Can you tell me a little bit about what the attitude of the civilian population is toward the security forces that you are beginning to assemble?
pst.000058944820Can you tell me what your Marines'understanding was and is, of when they can shoot and when they ca n't shoot?
pst.000058944820Can you tell us anything about these so- called ghost detainees?
pst.000058944820Can you tell us when you are going to send us a supplemental?
pst.000058944820Can you tell us, first of all, what is the monthly burn rate or ex- penditure rate of those funds?
pst.000058944820Can you tell us, first of all, what is the monthly burn rate or expenditure rate of those funds?
pst.000058944820Captain Costello, did you have any experiences?
pst.000058944820Captain, your experience the same?
pst.000058944820Carryover money?
pst.000058944820Come the 1st of July, there wo n't be any more terrorist attacks or insurgents?
pst.000058944820Comments about that?
pst.000058944820Congressman, you are referring to the governing council that is now out of business, right, that ended and has been succeeded by the IIG?
pst.000058944820Correct?
pst.000058944820Could I ask a question?
pst.000058944820Could I ask a short question?
pst.000058944820Could I just read this one thing?
pst.000058944820Could that change?
pst.000058944820Could that have been because they were n't there at night?
pst.000058944820Could you comment on that?
pst.000058944820Could you comment on that?
pst.000058944820Could you elaborate a little bit more on the structure of the executive that you see taking over after June 30th?
pst.000058944820Could you give us a sense of that?
pst.000058944820Could you give us the date that you anticipate the forces will be sufficient to handle their own defense?
pst.000058944820Could you help me out with that, what are we doing?
pst.000058944820Could you let the committee know when you have an outcome on that particular area?
pst.000058944820Could you let the committee know when you have an outcome on that particular area?
pst.000058944820Could you not?
pst.000058944820Could you provide us with an accounting, either classified or un- classified, as to how that money was spent?
pst.000058944820Could you provide us with an accounting, either classified or unclassified, as to how that money was spent?
pst.000058944820Could you talk a little bit about one of the issues that you men- tioned regarding lessons learned, that we underestimated the in- surgency?
pst.000058944820Could you tell me what your vision is five years from now, best case scenario, worst case scenario, of what the Middle East should look like?
pst.000058944820Could you tell us what size force you have in mind, at least for the near future?
pst.000058944820Did 308 no one above her know what was going to happen and look at it another way?
pst.000058944820Did I hear a stipulation there?
pst.000058944820Did I misinterpret how quickly we are ready to move there?
pst.000058944820Did anyone directly tell those MPs that?
pst.000058944820Did it trouble you that they had been authorized, that their use had been authorized?
pst.000058944820Did she train for that at all?
pst.000058944820Did they have a set of leaders who followed up on it?
pst.000058944820Did they provide clear and consistent guidance?
pst.000058944820Did we anticipate that?
pst.000058944820Did we get into Iraq just for the oil?
pst.000058944820Did we look at that?
pst.000058944820Did we put too much reliance on the assurance of the expatriates that this would be a cake- walk, an easy objective?
pst.000058944820Did we, Jim?
pst.000058944820Did you agree not to go public with this or not to discuss this?
pst.000058944820Did you agree with what_back then, the peace dividend, so to speak?
pst.000058944820Did you arrive at a con- clusion that Saddam Hussein had to be removed because of infor- mation that you have received from Mr. Chalabi?
pst.000058944820Did you find that as well?
pst.000058944820Did you have a comment?
pst.000058944820Did you have one?
pst.000058944820Did you have what you needed?
pst.000058944820Did you look at that case at all?
pst.000058944820Did you make this decision to remove Saddam Hussein based upon intelligence from Chalabi?
pst.000058944820Did you receive such memo?
pst.000058944820Did you say, why is the Army being trained relatively slowly compared to the other forces?
pst.000058944820Did you want an extraordinarily top heavy military?
pst.000058944820Did your commission look into that specific in- stance?
pst.000058944820Do all service members have access to confidential counseling in Iraq?
pst.000058944820Do any of the other three have particular insights on that?
pst.000058944820Do either of you gentlemen have you seen the in- vestigation report of the beating deaths of the two detainees at Bagram prison in Afghanistan?
pst.000058944820Do elections assure democracy and a pro- US government that views regional security, economic, and political issues as we do?
pst.000058944820Do not you ex- pect us to be prudent?
pst.000058944820Do our Service members have access to confidential counseling in Iraq?
pst.000058944820Do they have everything that they need?
pst.000058944820Do they have the ability to be able to detain them properly in prison?
pst.000058944820Do they have to come from the Governing Council?
pst.000058944820Do they, meaning the Iraqis, do they understand that, or will they understand it by the time the turnover occurs two weeks from today?
pst.000058944820Do we continue to have a parts and maintenance problem on our vehicles?
pst.000058944820Do we have any of that stuff done?
pst.000058944820Do we have enough of the right people for the jobs they are trained for?
pst.000058944820Do we have the staying power?
pst.000058944820Do we have the willpower?
pst.000058944820Do we need them at that time?
pst.000058944820Do we need to really draft an electric bass player, to pull them back in?
pst.000058944820Do we take up the slack, or, if not, what do we do?
pst.000058944820Do we want to eventually turn some of those over to Iragis?
pst.000058944820Do we want to have them as a National Guard, as a gendarme?
pst.000058944820Do we want to incor- porate them into the Iraqi Armed Forces by some component and all?
pst.000058944820Do we?
pst.000058944820Do you agree with that general assessment, Colonel McCoy?
pst.000058944820Do you agree with that statement?
pst.000058944820Do you agree with that?
pst.000058944820Do you agree with the Los Angeles Times report that the Marines could be short infantry platoon sergeants by 17 percent?
pst.000058944820Do you and the rest of the Governing Council agree with your death on that day?
pst.000058944820Do you believe it would have disastrous con- sequences?
pst.000058944820Do you believe we need to have one?
pst.000058944820Do you feel that there is a dif- at the American people are being told and what you saw over there?
pst.000058944820Do you guys like the 9,000 new Ma- rines we want to give you?
pst.000058944820Do you have a figure in mind?
pst.000058944820Do you have any com- ments on this kind of opportunity?
pst.000058944820Do you have any idea what the funding expectations are likely to be next year?
pst.000058944820Do you have any idea why?
pst.000058944820Do you have any reason to believe that we will receive such information from the CIA?
pst.000058944820Do you have any speculation as to whether or not we are seeing intensified activity partly to impact public opinion inside the United States?
pst.000058944820Do you have enough in the way of re- sources or do we need to look at providing you additional monies?
pst.000058944820Do you have enough money, or would you like to see some more money to keep this force in place?
pst.000058944820Do you have some concerns?
pst.000058944820Do you hear any of that?
pst.000058944820Do you know any- thing about that?
pst.000058944820Do you know anything about that re- port I am talking about?
pst.000058944820Do you know anything about this?
pst.000058944820Do you know how many sets of photographs there were?
pst.000058944820Do you know how they got out; how they were leaked to the media?
pst.000058944820Do you know of any instance when the CIA person or persons worked with uniformed American military in interroga- tion?
pst.000058944820Do you know that to a certainty?
pst.000058944820Do you know the timeline or the scope of that inves- tigation?
pst.000058944820Do you know who invited him to sit next to the First Lady of the United States at this year's State of the Union message in January?
pst.000058944820Do you know, General Pace?
pst.000058944820Do you see a potential positive change or uplifting change in attitude of the Iraqi people come the June 30 sovereignty turnover?
pst.000058944820Do you see any signs of deployment fatigue in the soldiers anywhere you have been deployed?
pst.000058944820Do you see this as a short- term thing?
pst.000058944820Do you still think that they were only mentally tortured?
pst.000058944820Do you think from 1 to 10 you think it is like a 5 or a 4 or 7 or 8?
pst.000058944820Do you think it is adequate?
pst.000058944820Do you think it is moving along well?
pst.000058944820Do you think that process is getting more smooth as we go forward?
pst.000058944820Do you think that the troops that are watching that at the time over in theater recognize that?
pst.000058944820Do you think that torture was out of the norm for what we might even expect in a time of war?
pst.000058944820Do you think the Geneva Convention applies to the prisoners we have in Afghanistan?
pst.000058944820Do you think this incident will have any effect?
pst.000058944820Do you understand what I am talking about?
pst.000058944820Do you want to add to that?
pst.000058944820Do you want to?
pst.000058944820Do you, Dick?
pst.000058944820Do you, Steve?
pst.000058944820Does it have legs?
pst.000058944820Does n't it reflect poorly on the process?
pst.000058944820Does n't this give the perception that this is going to be a kangaroo court?
pst.000058944820Does that also make the case that we were underresourced gen- erally?
pst.000058944820Does that mean more dwell time then, as it is called, more time State- side getting ready for the deployment?
pst.000058944820Does that mean they will remain inside Iraqi cities, and which is known the people of Iraq do not accept to stay?
pst.000058944820Does that sound like in the ballpark?
pst.000058944820Does that sound right?
pst.000058944820Does the military have enough body armor for the new rotation of troops that is heading overseas?
pst.000058944820Does the small size of the Iraqi Army, relatively small, require the United States to have a sizable deployment in Iraq for some years to come?
pst.000058944820Does this Nation have the cultural resources to proceed against this kind of opponent?
pst.000058944820During that debate, which side were you on?
pst.000058944820End of the fiscal year or calendar year?
pst.000058944820Even if the need for forces lessens in Iraq, who's to say that another need will not emerge before our troops are rested and recovered?
pst.000058944820Exactly what is the risk?
pst.000058944820Finally, do you think that'Do n't Ask, Do n't Tell is the best policy for our mili- tary?
pst.000058944820First question is generally, how do you propose to get a handle on all these various elements and make them connect?
pst.000058944820For 20,000 troops?
pst.000058944820For example, troops heading out on patrol or combat missions are borrowing Kevlar Armor from troops staying behind?
pst.000058944820For example, would employers be deterred from hiring reservists if they anticipated a one- year absence every 48 months?
pst.000058944820General Cody, could you comment on that?
pst.000058944820General Hagee?
pst.000058944820General Hagee?
pst.000058944820General Huly, do you encounter some of these same issues that we talked about?
pst.000058944820General Myers, do you want to add?
pst.000058944820General Myers, would a two- year delay in the base closure proc- ess be helpful or harmful to the national security of the country?
pst.000058944820General Pace, do you have a statement?
pst.000058944820General Schoomaker, How will DOD pay for the additional troops over four years?
pst.000058944820General Schoomaker, the same?
pst.000058944820General Schoomaker, you want to comment on that?
pst.000058944820General Smith, have a statement?
pst.000058944820General, I want to ask you, did you have any indication that this was leaked to the Washington Post?
pst.000058944820General, do you know what is actually happening with these in- dividuals that we have trained that are firing upon U.S. troops?
pst.000058944820General, how about that?
pst.000058944820General, if we do n't have copies of those, could our staff get them out if in fact you folks provided some for us?
pst.000058944820General, was that based on some kind of theory that the Iraqis would step up, or I mean something spe- cific that we could base that on?
pst.000058944820General, would you have the numbers for the Air Force Reserve and the Air Guard?
pst.000058944820General, would you have the numbers for the Air Force Reserve and the Air Guard?
pst.000058944820General?
pst.000058944820General?
pst.000058944820Given that, when were you plan- ning to let us know, and how were you planning to let us know?
pst.000058944820Going away where?
pst.000058944820Half of the way there?
pst.000058944820Has DOD commissioned a study to examine what impact such a plan would have on troop recruitment and retention?
pst.000058944820Has DOD implemented any of the recommendations issued by the task force thus far?
pst.000058944820Has any correction been issued to him, or has any exception been taken for sanctioning this kind of policy?
pst.000058944820Has not been completed?
pst.000058944820Has that been thought through?
pst.000058944820Has that press report been undated publicly or is that still con- sidered accurate?
pst.000058944820Has that press report been undated publicly or is that still considered accurate?
pst.000058944820Has the overall intelligence that has been offered by Mr. Chalabi been accurate?
pst.000058944820Has there been any point since August, or even before 269 then, that the security situation was acceptable?
pst.000058944820Have we figured out how to register people?
pst.000058944820Have we got an appropriate armor set sufficient for force protection and operations?
pst.000058944820Have we taken our eye off the ball in Afghani- stan?
pst.000058944820Have you been able to recoup a lot of the people who had skills and were making a contribution to tal- ent?
pst.000058944820Have you got specific points of contact who are designated to both deliver requests to the Americans and to consult with Americans on those requests?
pst.000058944820Have you received it?
pst.000058944820Have you thought out all of the contingencies of going in and how that is going to turn out?
pst.000058944820He was n't being shocked?
pst.000058944820His eyes opened up, and he said, Yes, Congressman; how did you know that?
pst.000058944820History as a participatory republic?
pst.000058944820How about in terms of American lives?
pst.000058944820How about the academic union would form a government, an academic government?
pst.000058944820How about the guards in particular?
pst.000058944820How about the picture with the naked bodies stacked on top of each other?
pst.000058944820How about the third picture that was so promi- nently displayed, and that was the one with a female MP holding a detainee on a leash?
pst.000058944820How are the court systems coming together?
pst.000058944820How are the court systems coming together?
pst.000058944820How are we doing in regard to recruiting?
pst.000058944820How are we going to get this back on track?
pst.000058944820How are we going to relieve the burden on the Guard and reservist units in Iraq, and some in Afghanistan, as well?
pst.000058944820How are we going to respond to this new interim government with regards to the safety of our women and men in Iraq?
pst.000058944820How are we responding to those images?
pst.000058944820How are we systematically taking stock of the problems to date and correcting them, before more Americans and Iraqis die as a result?
pst.000058944820How are you folks doing?
pst.000058944820How are you going to change it?
pst.000058944820How big will our embassy be on the 30th of June?

pst.000058944820I would ask what other portion of society can claim that level of per- commitment to that?
pst.000058944820I would ask, is that an accurate quote?
pst.000058944820I would imagine-or with his aides-- you would have some sense as to how they would react?

pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, can I indulge for another minute?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, can we have your original un- derstanding?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, can you indulge me for one final brief, very brief question to the Ambassador?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, could the Army answer that question, as well?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, may I ask one point of clarification on a separate issue?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, one more quick question, if I may?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, will you yield?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman, would you yield for a moment?
pst.000058944820Mr. Chairman?
pst.000058944820Mr. Lakhdar Brahimi, this government that the authority will be transferred to, was it elected, and who will be members of this government?
pst.000058944820Mr. Larsen's observation, one- to- one, can you transfer one Iraqi into a U.S. military role and expect you have the same capabilities?
pst.000058944820Mr. Marshall, did you have a last question?
pst.000058944820Mr. Meek, could you hold on for one minute?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary or General, do you know?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, General Myers, any comments?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, any truth to the rumor that Secretary Rumsfeld said, if they need more troops, we will get them?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, at what time were you made aware of the photographs?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, do we have a parts problem in Iraq?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, do you have a statement?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, do you see an end in sight?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, how far off the mark am I?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, there was no other way for you to find this out?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, we thank you first for coming to us very quickly after you got back from Iraq, but can we get together here in the near future?
pst.000058944820Mr. Secretary, what is the mission in Iraq?
pst.000058944820Mr. Wolfowitz, would you suspend for just a sec- ond?
pst.000058944820My last question — what about the one particular detainee authorized at the request of George Tenet?
pst.000058944820My next question is, at what point one year ago — one year from today, what percent- age of our Humvees do you expect will be up- armored?
pst.000058944820My ques- tion has been, would be, how should we view the not only the armed contractors, but the other contractors who are ther to rebuild Iraq?
pst.000058944820My question is, where did that breakdown occur and how did it occur?
pst.000058944820My question is, will there be?
pst.000058944820My question is: What is the troop level anticipated for OIF-4?
pst.000058944820My question was, did anyone ever do an updated press release?
pst.000058944820My question: How can you assess the situation, the current situation in Iraq?
pst.000058944820My second question is: Why does eight percent of the force in Iraq and Afghanistan, 20 percent of the force deployed, cause this much difficulty?
pst.000058944820My specific question is what went wrong, and is there anything the Congress needs to do to help you correct it?
pst.000058944820My specific question is what went wrong?
pst.000058944820My understanding of the question is, would the interim government of Iraq have to take specific actions to join the ICC?
pst.000058944820No?
pst.000058944820Now can I tell you more than that?
pst.000058944820Now, General Myers, do you believe that we need a Status of Forces Agreement( SOFA) on July 1st?
pst.000058944820Now, I often ask myself, is Sistani an expression of public opin- ion, or is he a formulator of public opinion?
pst.000058944820Now, the issue is how well did it take?
pst.000058944820Now, what happens is, well, why are you still there?
pst.000058944820Now, what is this going to cost us, General, between now and the end of the fiscal year and then for next year?
pst.000058944820Now, what is this going to cost us, General, between now and the end of the rear and then for next year?
pst.000058944820Now, who did they think had approved this plan?
pst.000058944820Of a general prison system?
pst.000058944820Of the US Army vehicles attacked with IEDs in Iraq, how many were up- armored HMMWVs?
pst.000058944820Of those 23, and of the other 10, with respect to the MPs, and the 23 with respect to the MIs, how many of those resulted in fatalities?
pst.000058944820Okay – And with aspirations of becoming a four- star general, what exactly would that mean to you?
pst.000058944820On SOFA jurisdiction, have the Iraqis agreed to this?
pst.000058944820On that issue?
pst.000058944820On the credibility question, where do we go from here?
pst.000058944820On what was that based?
pst.000058944820Once again, the aggregate numbers are what?
pst.000058944820Once you got settled into Mosul it was better?
pst.000058944820One is: What is the rotation plan for our getting out?
pst.000058944820One of them is what is the proper volunteer force and how do you incentivize that force for the future?
pst.000058944820One of those coordination things, that they will do, is to deter- mine, what is the security situation?
pst.000058944820One year from now, what are our plans to be in those palaces?
pst.000058944820One year from now, what are our plans to be in those palaces?
pst.000058944820Or did we have time to think about some sort of a strategy?
pst.000058944820Or if they were the cooks and so forth that were put in there because we had a shortage of MPs?
pst.000058944820Or is the end in sight?
pst.000058944820Or is, as General Sanchez's shop, along with Ambassadors Negroponte's shop, to put those together?
pst.000058944820Or it was just a courtesy that they extended to you in the interest of protecting the lives of our men and women in uniform?
pst.000058944820Or whoever takes that position?
pst.000058944820Or would you describe the Abu Ghraib facility in total as a catastrophic fail- ure?
pst.000058944820Other mistakes, or things that you would have done differently over the last 15 months?
pst.000058944820Perfect?
pst.000058944820Persons have indi- cated, how could they not provide the equipment?
pst.000058944820Prior to July 1?
pst.000058944820Questions have to be answered, okay, Mr. Chairman?
pst.000058944820Referring to what, Iraq?
pst.000058944820Remember 22 the plate spinners?
pst.000058944820Remember the Commanders?
pst.000058944820Right?
pst.000058944820Right?
pst.000058944820Roger, would you like to comment?
pst.000058944820Secretary, last year you testified that Iraq was basi- cally so oil rich that they would have money to, quote, really fi- 640 na we?
pst.000058944820Should General Abizaid feel that there is a need for additional troops, will they be provided to him?
pst.000058944820Should Secretary McNamara have resigned after My Lai?
pst.000058944820Should there be?
pst.000058944820Sir, could I interject here?
pst.000058944820Sir, could you speak up a bit?
pst.000058944820So 11 were not?
pst.000058944820So I ask the question, have we not learned the lessons of denying the enemy sanctuary?
pst.000058944820So can you elaborate on the responsibility and the con- fusion, please?
pst.000058944820So eight or nine months before?
pst.000058944820So first question, what is being done in theater on the ground?
pst.000058944820So if they do the damage, do we still pay, or how is that going to work?
pst.000058944820So my ques- tion is, has the Iraqi interim government indicated whether or not they will maintain that provision?
pst.000058944820So my question is, as a matter of force protection, what is your assessment of how these — this media crisis is playing out through the Middle East?
pst.000058944820So my question is, how do we erase the stain?
pst.000058944820So our General Petraeus is training Iraqi security forces who are under the command of the interim government, non- U.S. forces?
pst.000058944820So our question — or my question is- Mr. Chairman, could I get a hint from the light system here, just for fun?
pst.000058944820So roughly over 20,000 troops total in Af- ghanistan?
pst.000058944820So roughly over 20,000 troops total in Afghanistan?
pst.000058944820So the United Kingdom is in charge of the drug issue in Afghanistan?
pst.000058944820So the interviewee said, Are you crazy?
pst.000058944820So the official position on the Rangel bill is the ad- ministration does not and will not support it, is that correct?
pst.000058944820So they already harvested the drug crop?
pst.000058944820So they will be able to be maintained and over- hauled there?
pst.000058944820So we have another year before we can have any impact on the financing of the drug trade going to al Qaeda?
pst.000058944820So what about having one investigation to get to the bottom of this and to the top of this?
pst.000058944820So what happens now?
pst.000058944820So what is the real plan with the number of troops and the Iraqi side of this equation?
pst.000058944820So what was that night shift doing?
pst.000058944820So what went wrong with that policy?
pst.000058944820So when the shooting starts, you are going to sit down and have a group discussion?
pst.000058944820So when you make this handoff, all the heavy Humvees stay?
pst.000058944820So why do n't we start off with that?
pst.000058944820So you say you recollect that we were looking at it in January?
pst.000058944820So you think it will be a steady- state at that level for months to come?
pst.000058944820So you would feel the area is as safe or more safe?
pst.000058944820So your position is you lean toward applying Geneva Convention as we have traditionally applied it?
pst.000058944820So, Ambassador, I would just ask for the record, is there such a strategy specific to Iran relative to this transfer of power and au- thority?
pst.000058944820So, General Cody, what more forces are required?
pst.000058944820So, I am hearing maybe that is not the case?
pst.000058944820So, I mean, what reassurance?
pst.000058944820So, ask many Iraqis, why are you still here?
pst.000058944820So, my question is, what do you see happening in the future when this flash point comes to a head?
pst.000058944820Some from a scale of 1 to 10, how do you think they feel about us leaving and their willingness to have elections more sooner than later?
pst.000058944820Some have asked: Can we repair the damage done to our credibility in the region?
pst.000058944820Some have asked: Has n't a climate allowing for abuses to occur been created because of a decision to"disregard ” the Geneva Convention?
pst.000058944820Some have asked: Why were n't those charged with guarding prisoners properly trained?
pst.000058944820Some reassurances to what?
pst.000058944820Staying in that vein, the enemy in Fallujah, what did you see there?
pst.000058944820Surely you do n't think 35,000 troops is sufficient to hold this country together, ourselves being 140,000, to be pushing the envelope itself?
pst.000058944820Taguba found that; is that correct?
pst.000058944820That decision did not put any of our young soldiers in harm's way?
pst.000058944820That detainees can be held outside of the Ge- neva Convention?
pst.000058944820That is the most often question I receive, do the American people understand what we are doing, and do they support us?
pst.000058944820That process we can expect to see continue, but we wo n't see any radical change for quite some time; is that a fair statement?
pst.000058944820That there is increasing pressure from above to make something happen?
pst.000058944820The CIA has n't been responsive with you about telling you whether they do or not?
pst.000058944820The Iraqi citizen and the Arab citizen and all citizens of the world, they ask you, What is your role?
pst.000058944820The November Fragmentary Order( FRAGO)?
pst.000058944820The November order?
pst.000058944820The answer has to be yes, does it not?
pst.000058944820The distinguished gentleman from Mississippi, Mr. Taylor?
pst.000058944820The distinguished gentleman from Oklahoma, Mr. Cole?
pst.000058944820The first one is after June 30, how do you envision the Iraqi Survey Group and their work to be affected by the transition?
pst.000058944820The first question is, where are we on allowing contractors to be armed, to carry weapons?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from Colorado, Mr. Hefley?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from Missouri has some additional questions, so why do n't we go to those before we wrap up here?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from Missouri?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from North Carolina, Mr. Hayes?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from Texas, Mr. Ortiz?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from Texas, Mr. Rodriguez?
pst.000058944820The gentleman from Texas, Mr. Thornberry?
pst.000058944820The gentleman who has been over so many times to see not only in Iraq, but to see his beloved 10th Mountain Division, Mr. McHugh?
pst.000058944820The incremental cost is about$ 500 million?
pst.000058944820The officer, speaking on condition of anonymity, said part of the problem-- okay?
pst.000058944820The prime minister, the president and the vice president-- who will choose them?
pst.000058944820The report is not done?
pst.000058944820The second question, is the current Active- Reserve construct cor- rect?
pst.000058944820The treatment is consistent for each and every prisoner?
pst.000058944820The way that they are consulted?
pst.000058944820The( SCAL 273?
pst.000058944820Their military, not the police?
pst.000058944820Their own?
pst.000058944820Then the other question you have to ask is, did you want to bring that back?
pst.000058944820Then who is going to have the authority?
pst.000058944820Then would you reinstate the two OPFOR forces?
pst.000058944820There are so many optimistic and wonderful things going on in Iraq right now, as the troops are say- ing why do n't we understand that?
pst.000058944820There is clearly a process here, but what were you thinking in terms of time line?
pst.000058944820They are doing?
pst.000058944820They are doing?
pst.000058944820They harvested the crops early, and now we will have another year of drugs on the market funding al Qaeda?
pst.000058944820They were not?
pst.000058944820They will be under the command of the interim government?
pst.000058944820This is a question for both Lakhdar Brahimi and Mr. Massoud Barzani: Do you believe that this is the reality?
pst.000058944820To be able to train Iraqi justice system prison guards?
pst.000058944820To be free from what?
pst.000058944820To what extent will it be solved one year from today?
pst.000058944820To what extent will it be solved one year from today?
pst.000058944820To what kind of Iraqi Government will the American ambassador be accredited?
pst.000058944820To your first question, “ How much is support and how much is combat? ” I would, if I may serve, try to quarrel a bit with the premise.
pst.000058944820Want me to take that one?
pst.000058944820Was it a free market economy?
pst.000058944820Was it a set- back?
pst.000058944820Was it defeat?
pst.000058944820Was it nec- essary to have a strong break or would there have been another way to have done that?
pst.000058944820Was it too optimistic?
pst.000058944820Was our prewar planning for the post- war period adequate?
pst.000058944820Was that a battalion company or what?
pst.000058944820Was that a deviation from plan?
pst.000058944820Was that an interrogation?
pst.000058944820Was that pursuant to an interrogation tech- nique?
pst.000058944820Was that the case?
pst.000058944820Was there also CIA migration?
pst.000058944820Was there or was there not an order allowing that to take place?
pst.000058944820Was this an Army decision?
pst.000058944820Was your testimony on March 27th too hope- ful?
pst.000058944820We all know that our very best soldiers are susceptible to mental health problems — what are you doing to let them know it is OK to seek help?
pst.000058944820We all know the$ 25 billion is a lot of money, but do you think that is an accurate statement?
pst.000058944820We are back on, sir?
pst.000058944820We are not seeing those sorts of revenues being produced, are we?
pst.000058944820We are still working within the original budget allocation, which I believe — what was the number on secu- rity?
pst.000058944820We are stuck?
pst.000058944820We ca n't possibly be having a 2-to-1 or 3-to-1 ratio of military to detainee, are we, in that prison?
pst.000058944820We do have data on GED, We have got data for everything, and do they meet their full enlistment when we enlist them?
pst.000058944820We do n't have a status of forces agree- ment now?
pst.000058944820We do n't have that quickly enough, and I just need you to tell me, do you think that 11 investigations are the right way of going about this?
pst.000058944820We have our troops over there, and who is going to enforce it but our troops?
pst.000058944820We opened up that refinery together, did n't we?
pst.000058944820Well, are there reasons why?
pst.000058944820Well, as we put a structure together that is going to govern in Iraq, how do the Kurds fall into this?
pst.000058944820Well, first, let me ask you, Dr. Chu, what are the risks and miti- gating options?
pst.000058944820Well, let me start on the number of troops, have we discussed that with the Iraqis?
pst.000058944820Well, so they were not taken seriously?
pst.000058944820Well, what Lakhdar Brahimi is going to do now when he goes back to Baghdad, is he is going to meet with a num- ber of groups?
pst.000058944820Well, what are we going to do?
pst.000058944820Well, who is going to get up?
pst.000058944820Were any of you aware of these photographs prior to the"60 Minutes ” publication?
pst.000058944820Were there Americans present during the raid?
pst.000058944820Were there other mistakes besides thinking that if you got the 55 people, that would put an end to the violence?
pst.000058944820Were they getting better?
pst.000058944820Were they planning a Nineveh class reunion with a boat trip down the Eu- phrates River or what?
pst.000058944820Were they told not to ask for additional per- sonnel?
pst.000058944820Were you able to hear that, sir?
pst.000058944820Were you given access?
pst.000058944820Were you here for the full- blown Committee hearing we had with Secretary Rumsfeld?
pst.000058944820What I want to know as we go forward from this point forward, how do we repair the damage to our credibility as a Nation on the issue on human rights?
pst.000058944820What about jammers?
pst.000058944820What about our captains?
