law, and judge declined says it is a recommendation. the top general said the u.s. could expand its presence in iraq to help fight isil, and mark desmy said is for lilly pads jumping off points, where troops could be closer to the frontline, that could include a corridor, over to mosul, and the white house was cool to the idea of increasing the number of bases, without first seeing some success. there's no immediate plan to do this. what i will say though, if a kind of recommendation like this did come from the president's national security team and military advisers, it would be a recommendation that is made, that reflects that the on the going training efforts have been useful. general dempsey opposes

muslims and he told them no. and that he had nothing to say. in 2010, said it landed him on the no fly list. he is not alone. we have seen significant abuse in this use of the no fly list, number 1 just the fact that there's a secret list that the government uses to deprive individuals without any due process. they are suing the federal government claiming that the f. b.i. used it to coerce them into being informants and then retaliate when they refused. law enforcement has never accused them to any crime and as a result of being banned from flying, they've been unable to visit family members for years. his wife and daughters live in yemen said, they have done a lot of damage to me and to my
