and so these leaders of the iraqi -- d-a-s-h's presence in iraq, these are homegrown iraqi militant leaders, and their revenues need not come from the gulf. i am sure there is -- i am sure it benefits them, but for a multiyear period in iraq when we were fighting there, there were a great many of al qaeda and iraq's revenues came from being able to siphon off the oil sector to extort northern iraqi businesses and to tax the local population, and now that they hold those territories out right, they are able to draw a great deal of resources and sustain themselves from that. if the gulf money went to zero overnight, they would still be able to fund their militant operations inside iraq, just based on local revenue streams, and being able to exploit local political grievances. >> i had a quick question for karim. he mentioned about the turks option on the negotiation process and this agreement on the agreements thing. how long both sides can keep doing this process, let's say, and that will be a parliamentary election in 2015, next year, and as a result of the election council will be elected

over the last two decades to visit our troops in the field from bosnia to kosovo from iraq to afghanistan, aslamabad. h to i've never once been failed to be impressed by the grit, the resolve, the patriotism of these young women and men. and every time -- and i've been accompanied by some of the time behind me -- every i've been in the field with them i find myself thinking, if only, if only everyone in america could see what i'm seeing. taste what i'm tasting. understand what these warriors are doing. and no one knows better than this audience that it's not just the veterans that's been asked to sacrifice and serve. it's his or her family. his mother or father, children, especially the husbands and wives. the english poet john milton once wrote, they also serve who only stand and wait. they also serve who only stand nd wait. when our son bo a major in the delaware national guard, was deployed to iraq for a year, my wife, who is a professor, would leave early for school, i'd get up and walk into the little kitchen in the vice president's home and without fail i'd see her standing over the sink with a c

h ever say anything about saudi arabia? >> back to the literature. they mefr nexted a threat to saudi arabia. why is that? because they focus on iraq and syria. this is the territorial. but did the saudi -- for instance, have we received any operation of inside saudi arabia by daesh like what's happened to georgia in 2005 or what happened in syria or what's happened to lebanon? no. why? because the distant second now finally ultimately they will reach to the arabian peninsula. they will go to the gulf, they want to focus their operational and achieve hadn't in a specific territory there. saudi arabia being accused of supporting daesh. -- daesh is the abbreviation of the isis. this is arabic, you know, acronym of that one. so it's the arabic translation of isis. so saudi arabia issued two things. one, they tried to say look, if you want to come back to your country, we know how many saudis there have been that accuse the government of trying to figure out how many saudi went to join them, they said well listen go back to the embassy in istanbul, hand over yourself. you will have a fair treatment. but then we issue a sort of, first the list tha
