there's a garrison there. it's clear that president trump, cycling back and forth on twitter about what he wants to do with the oil fields, u.s. military and secretary of defense has said there will be a presence in dare zor. we saw the first vehicles moving towards there on saturday in northern iraq. so it's clear that there will be a presence, it's not clear how long it will last. they will continue to part with the syrian opposition group. how long will that last? the kurds feel betrayed by the fact that this anti-isis, defeat isis mission that they've been partnering with and working so valiantly with the united states is for several years now, they feel very betrayed by the fact that the u.s. very quickly pulled out of that mission. will this protecting oil fields partnership salvage some of that or is the u.s. just going to turn around with another quick decision and policy decision and pull all the troops out again, leaving the kurds in the dust? nobody knows what's going to happen. the sense of confusi

china has quietly doubled the size of its hong kong garrison in recent weeks.seems to be a thinly-veiled threat about what chinese troops might do. >> bernard chan: i have been involved. >> williams: bernard chan is a hong kong delegate to china's rubber-stamp legislature. you wrote that beijing sees this as a national security threat. why is what happens in hong kong a national security threat for china? >> chan: well, if you look at some of the slogans that are used by the protesters, they say, "liberate hong kong, revolution of our time." and then, we have protesters, you know, carrying flags of the united states, of u.k. and so on. >> williams: how is that a threat to a superpower like china? >> chan: i don't think, you know, it will be helpful when, in any country, when you see, you know, sign of another country involving in your local politics. >> williams: for 30 years, the west has condemned china for the way that it handled the tiananmen massacre in 1989. how do you think the world will view beijing's response to these protests in 30 years' time? >> ch

we also were given the earlier directive to retain forces at that garrison. we will be sending troops home. the president made a commitment to do that. in the meantime, we are going to be in force and make some other moves to ensure that we can accomplish that mission of securing the oilfields in order to deny them access to isis. >> reporter: so there are more going in than there were coming out? >> at the end of the day my expectation is that they will be here more than before and they will be going home. remind me of the first question. yes, this was a u.s.-only operation for personnel that were on the objective. i know you are referring to a comment somewhere reported in the media that the sdf had soldiers or troops or one person or something on the objective with our forces. i'm not going to focus on what may or may not have happened with the sdf on the objective. the actions on the objective, they are kept coming in, the aircraft overhead, and the soldiers conducting assault come as a u.s. operation. >> thanks, guys. >> harris: we have been watching the

and you have to understand what it means to your perfectly rehearsed plan when you do that in garrison, what it means to meet that plan on a battlefield. a famous boxer once said about his competition that every man has a planuntil i punch him in the face . you think about that and we all plan and we think about what is going to be like and then we need the crucible of contest . we got to be ready for what that looks like . so when we talk about these principles that are not esoteric, they are not things that sit out there to be admired but they're there to be practiced, embedded, rehearsed, challenged, improved and implemented with confidence. that's where we need to be. so let's talk aboutthese things under lethality first . three subareas that are important the way i look at defining them. thefirst would be the idea of authority . we've got have the right authority to operate in space and it doesn't matter what kind of activity we're talking about. whether we're operating networks, talking more of an it centric role, whether we're talking about defense or offensiveoperations, their

native americans have built their village right behind the fort, which is a fully constructed for, garrisoned with the british at this point with general campbell. anthony wayne on august 17 has made it. as he comes a little bit outside of the battlefield, he is going to stage their and build camp deposit. as he does that, he sends of volunteers out and these volunteers come to about this area where we are at now, the fallen timbers battlefield. they are captured. they bring them back to their village and find out what anthony wayne's battle plans are. anthony wayne is marching with a line that is about two to four miles long. he is actually going to come to this area of the fallen timbers. he is going to start to meet native american resistance. he will send out an advanced guard, they will start to engage in the firefight that will eventually lead to the larger battle. as it starts to take place, the native americans are engaging and advanced scout group, giving an f time to the main body of the legion of united states to deploy, allowing them to set up sustained firepower, which will event

they began attacking key german garrison and government buildings. german armor was moving to the city trying to get past the city and to the north. it was attacked, it was ambushed. molotov cocktails were the primary weapon of choice because the resistance was so poorly armed. but the ssi lay in ambush. it sniped. through molotov cocktails from high windows into passing half tracks. and burned and attacked fuel trucks. germans burned. and therefore they retaliated with their usual cruelty. germans were raging at losing a 1944. and they were losing everywhere. everywhere. in the sky, and italy. in the east, in the west. so the order was given, to wrecked from berlin -- direct from berlin, destroyed paris. their mocked engineers mind all the great buildings -- never mocked -- the engineers mind the buildings that were to be reduced to rubble. notre dame, the louvre, the historic bridges built by the louie's, the arc de triomphe, the great iron tower was going to come down. so the barricades went up in the grand french tradition of resistance. the barr

the garrison trojans. my very first memory was of my dad running for congress. and back up even one more generation, my father was an army brat. and his father, was a career army officer. so he moved around a lot. it was during that process when he really learned about the history of our country and the sacrifices that our soldiers had made on our behalf. not only for our country, but to freak other countries. he began to understand how important politics is. and quite frankly, what we engage in on daily basis in the political world, is the civil war but with words. so when people get frustrated about how hard it is sometimes, whose is so much better than an actual civil war that we have gone through. we have to learn, what margaret thatcher said, first when the argument and then you win the vote. and they is it too monday times we try to rush through getting the vault that went out actually winning the argument. let's go back to 1974, my foot by dad first ran in 1974, and a few, you will know that happened during a time of watergate. talk about impeachment righ

then they initially said they would be withdrawing and just keep a few at a garrison in a special operations base right along the border in iraq. the interest thing here is where they're going to be located and they're likely to be located, if it's in conjunction with the oil fields, near the middle of the valley, but in the center of the country, at least the center of that part of the country where they're at. so they would be staying there and working with kurdish partners potentially and they would be there to protect the oil, which doesn't seem to be one of the articulated natural interests that the president has up to this point talked about for having u.s. troops deployed there. >> so geoff bennett, part of the story line here when you look at this retreat, i think you could fairly call it from the president and his administration on some of these issues, part of it is because of republican pushback, not from the house necessarily but over on the senate side. all of it with republicans who might be getting a little tired of having to defend the president in the midst of this impeachme

they had garrisons in different places, but at place, essentially, since 2012, under the control of syrians were with them and the deal had been done with them and the deal had been done with the syrian kurds. and as a result of that, i think, from president asad's position come and things are going very well because don't forget, back when the war started, people affected his old regime to rapidly collapse. jeremy, thank you very much indeed. glad you were able to hear our much indeed. glad you were able to hear oui’ answers much indeed. glad you were able to hear our answers in the end. there isjeremy, live with us from ankara, the turkish capital. let's turn away from syria, go to business. well, there may be some good news for america's biggest car—maker — general motors. 118,000 workers have been on strike for the past month — and its cost the company more than a billion dollars because of that — it looks like there may be a deal. vivienne nunis in new york. help us understand what was dividing them and what may now be bringing them and what may now be bringing them together. there ar
