neighbors and the military might and demographics and so on and so forth. if you take mark twain at his word. this provides value as we look back to world war 1 and the growth of china and its maritime strategy and this is the era that i look back at the most. you find startling similarities from imperial germany as the stages are in the 1870s and china today. here's a wonderful starting point to look at the air that we see around us. this is a globalized world. what we are in now is the second age of globalization, but leading into the first world war, this was the era in which you had people like stanford presidents david star jordan who gave a wonderful speech in 1913 and it's really appealing stuff. you can find it on the internet. he said there will not be a great war of europe. it cannot happen. europeans are indented from previous wars and they should have learned the lessons that war does not advance national interests and so on and so forth and he makes a resounding case that world war i can never happen. in fact, we're talking about book signings

north korea and iran and the nuclear arsenal, america needs more credible and effective defenses and jiamdo is a prime agent for that credibility and effectiveness. i would like to go into a little of of the history over the last decade, most of which i have served in, as the technical director. i worked under six different direct directors but quickly discovered the skrob was more than just keeping up with the science and technology aspects. i became the guy who went to europe to sit across from panels of russians, to discuss bilateral missile defense cooperation and became pat higgens guy who went to inter-agency meetings at the white house and the state department and became ken's guy to discuss some of the more sensitive topics that have been allowed to be briefed on. i worked with the three letter agencies like cia and csro, to provide the latest information on developments and reach out to partnerships and think tanks like csis, and csba and research universities like johns hopkins, and applied physics lab and m.i.t. lab and industry groups and the individual companies we have

[laughter] we first served as legislative aides together and i loved working with you, always being able to go into your office and talk to you about any issue that came up, and we were always usually on the same side of things. when you were the budget aide to supervisor chu and i became budget aide to supervisor farrell, what you went through and everything you taught me was i

60s and 70s and early 80s, the ddr and e, the 80s and years between 1996 and 2001, you had to go to person to get permission to do something in space and incredible things were done. if you want to get speed you need a decision-maker who can say yes or no to a service when the service brings forward something. in the long-term he may not need a specific assistant secretary. it may fall under a undersecretary but i believe to get the vision over the next 2- 3 years, you need someone focused on this problem. >> i agree with my panelists but i would also add two things. one is that after spending 300 or so space missions, one of the things you come to realize is how rapidly space technology is advancing. i think the purpose of having a unified command is not just for the administered of side or operational side, but because we live in an environment where those decisions are going to be out of speed and increasing speed that we have not seen before and i think having unified command would allow that to happen. it also would provide a unified front to the industrial base that has to wor

and it's really easy to then sit back and say well, let's just try and take short cuts and let's just try to put diverse faces on the poster and not have inclusion in the space and let's try and just kind of really briefly know something and allude to it rather than really properly bring it in and so intentionality about creating communities of care, and intentionality of having that end goal in mind that we are sending for deeds for the hereafter, that this fight we are planting seeds for something that will be happening and that we may not even see in our lifetime and we're doing this because we are deliberately muslim and celebrating diversity and our languages and our kocols are signs from god and that we are created in tribes that we may know one another and we should stand against injustice whether it's against ourselves or families and that means we're putting our effort in for a lifetime and we're working to be deliberate and intentional and not trampling over people in a rush to get to a more liberated world because sometimes those revolutionary acts are the things that we're

prime minister in history, and longer than grant and he knows how to manage politics and what and a, this is clearly an election season, whether an election, and i doubt the election will take place in november and it will take place before then. maybe september, maybe may, but every decision he now makes is going to be framed against that reality and how does he look like he's still the keeper of security? hamas, by the way, understands that he's probably on a much shorter leash than he was before. so my guess is they're going to be more careful, as well. they're not looking for accomplish a accomplishments either and they've created a new normal which in some way works to their advantage because it puts pressure on israel and they understand in the coming months you will see you have a prime minister who is even if he doesn't want to get into a ground conflict in gaza is going to find it harder and harder politically to avoid it. you cannot look soft. the second thing is it will also be very difficult for him to do any of the things that would make it possible to alleviate the elec

china and russia and the threat being posed. they are aware of that and anything we don't need to do send them a message we can't get a degree on a reasonable budget and we are not going to do that. i would conclude with that and say we are back to george marshall again. he said we are now concerned with the peace of the entire world and it can only be maintained by the strong answers ronald reagan we always remember what he said the need to modernize our nuclear activity and missile defense because if we don't, we might have to use it. he's the one who said we want to keep a strong america and we want t to have all this capabily so we don't have to use it and i hope that is what happens, so with that i will open up to anything you want to talk about.
