nigeria is always in that pot.e try to use that money to force the political change necessary to build long-term stability. back to the question of who should be doing that, the department of defense is not in the business of creating political stability. they are not able to use funding as a leverage for political change. the state department's in that business, that's what they do. because there is a slush fund and the department of defense but not state, it's the military, its generals that are sitting across from the nigerians, saying -- we would love to give you this new money to fight boko hurrah, but -- boko haram, it's really important that you do that. >> why can't you use the same slush fund and bring over ambassador cook from the state department and get the advice and a converse the same thing or selling similar? meaning we don't want to wait for three years and nine months. the people on your side don't want to wait to do something as we know who is going to be in the white house. isn't there something
