as well as air warfare. nellis symbolizes our strategic transition, a future where america remains overwhelmingly strong in posture and retains full spectrum dominance. after a decade of focusing on counterinsurgency, we are turning to all of the challenges and opportunities and threats that will define our future security, where we remain strong, agile, and always ready. today, the u.s. military has no equal. we are the best. [applause] to stay the best, we have to embrace the future. that has several dimensions. we have to be open to the wider world of technology. we need a sensible long-term budget that does right by our military and our taxpayers. [applause] we bring in a 21st-century personnel system to match a 21st-century military. that is what i call the force of the future. embracing change to stay the best is not a course correction. it is the wind in our sales. it is the american way. it is what we have always done to make a strong. first, our unrivaled military must double down on unrivaled ameri

russia is worried that strike warfare could restrict the movement of israeli air force jets should theyttempt to target convoice taking weapons out to hezbollah which they have done before. so as well as the president and prime minister meeting, these military heads will talk about ways to deconflict the swaishes. historical movement within the area, so they're very strong cultural ties there. and i think israel has made it pretty clear, that they do not see russia as a threat to the state of israel. and they do have joint issues that do need resolving as the buildup continues in the area. >> peter sharp there in moscow. refugees from the syrian conflict have been pouring into the area of europe for the past three weeks. working on a volunteer tridz plan to relocation 160 thousand slum seekers. president says he is confident they will figure out a solution to the refugee goal. secretary of state john kerry said this weeks the u.s. will gradual increase the number allowed to come. next year number kill go from 75,000 to 85,000 and by 2015 the plan is to allow 250,00050,000 o the country

talk about tehran and there prowess in asymmetric warfare, we have to remember the country has very modest conventional capabilities also. the iranian airorce is irrelevant in any military scenario or any dogfight with arab gulf fighter jets. iran has considerable skills and land warfare due primarily to the iran-iraq war, but if you think about the iranian military threat, the last thing you should be worried about is iran's land capability. territorial conquest should not really be on the top of our list of concerns. iran's missile arsenal is quite impressive. it is not reliable. it is not precise. it is not as leasable -- lethal as we think it is. moreover, its adversaries have been not to be defenseless also. some of the most powerful missile-defense systems in the world command they're has been some progress of integrating those missile defenses regionally. so in short, iran is getting asymmetric warfare, whether it is on land or at sea, the most that i couldi could do is create problems command not necessarily when wars. let's put to rest any notion that iraq is close the strata from was anytime he wants. it simply cannot. i know

warfare nowlood of the game is to make sure you have air superiority over the channel for the d-day invasion. that means destroying the luftwaffe, but only if the luftwaffe comes out to fight. they will fight over berlin, but why is that? student: hitler is there. it is the center of german culture. bombedn't let it get over and over again. prof. miller: it is a prestige target. hitler can't allow something like that to happen. the price of nationalism kills him in this case. they had the best fighter defenses in the reich around berlin it is an economic powerhouse, but still. if you mount 1000 bomber raids on berlin and population of berlin sees luftwaffe isn't enough and the flat guns are flak guns are firing constantly -- a dictatorship does depend somewhat on popular opinion. they had spies going to nazi meetings. this is -- the bombings are starting to erode confidence in the fuhrer. they dropped a lot of ordinance on berlin, a lot. in some raids, 17,000 bombs. they are there. when heerman full me was a kid, i knew the first time they hit berlin, and they hit it, i knew that if they can

that means protecting them from the unrestricted warfare being waged against hem by bashar al assad, especially by air force and use of barrel bombs. this, not isis, has been the primarily source of civilian casualties. it's also been a principal driver of the radicalization fuelling isis and the refugee crisis. the problems in syria cannot be quickly resolved. but there are actions the u.s. and only the u.s. can take that would make a difference. we could, for example, tell assad that the use of barrel bombs must end. and that if they continue, we will stop the syrian air force from flying. we have that capability. this would not end the humanitarian crisis in syria. or end the broader war. or bring about the collapse of the assad regime. but it would remove a particularly vicious weapon from assad's arsenal. it would demonstrate that the united states is willing to stand against assad. and it would show the syrian people that we can do what the islamic state cannot, provide them with a measure of protection. i would also support the stability of enslaclaves in syr protected by air power, where a mod

warfare you are losing. stalemate is not success. it is accurate that we have conducted thousands of air strikes against isil, trucks and fighters, bunkers and buildings. this conjures the illusion of progress but what effect has that had? isil has lost some territory, mainly to kurdish and shiite forces, but isis has consolidated the core territories and expanded its control in syria it continues to dominate sunni arab areas in both iraq and syria. it maintains control of key cities like mosul, fallujah and ramadi and efforts to retake those territories appear to have stalled entirely. meanwhile, isil is expanding globally. it's now operating in afghanistan, yemen, libya and egypt and other radical islamic groups like boko haram in nigeria and al-shabaab in somalia have pledged allegiance to isil. this apparent success of isil has allowed them to radicalize and group. the c.i.a. estimates of the manpower remains constant despite u.s. air strikes which suggests they are either wrong to begin with or that isil is replacing its losses in real time. neither is good. indeed this committee is disturbed by recent whistleblower allegations that
