student from south korea and astronomy major asked me is that kosovo quiet 19 students believed that this was a picture of a military parade. that's more students than those who actually knew what it was. of those students that did recognize it was interesting that quite a lot really defended the government. they said what the government did was necessary. china would be much worse off today if the government had acted any differently. so it's really a retrospective justification based on china's phenomenal growth rate over the past 30 years. i think that is a very mainstream view even among some of those that went out and protested in 1989. for me personally this experiment was also very interesting because i suddenly realized how nervous i was when i was on those campuses asking those questions. if you bear in mind at this point i was a reporter based in china for 10 years so i had done an awful lot of sneaking around and dressing up as a peasant and trying to sneak into police checkpoints in closed areas in this kind of thing. when i was walking around the university campuses with

kosovo, there was 100 a day. operation storm, there was about 1,000 at one point. but you've got to have the targets to hit. right now blowing up trucks are using $200,000 bombs to blow up $10,000 trucks. >> that's a real issue. and isis has learned how to space out their equipment. before the air campaign began, we would see these long convoys of trucks all bunched up. we would see them butcher to bumper so they could be maintained. as soon as we announced the air strikes we gave them about two weeks notice, they dispersed everything. so now rather than being able to use weapons to take out many trucks, now you have to do it one by one. very expensive, very hard to do, and often very hard to find. >> and the longer this goes on, the longer it won't work because the trend lines aren't going in the right direction. the other side of the strategy improving the iraqi army, that isn't happening either. >> yeah. i think these two things are working in tandem, john. what we're seeing is the air strikes are doing these ones and twosies of knocking out a tank here or there

all i wanted to do was to to do with stability cure the problem we had in kosovo and that is the predator sitting here looking at the target. why can you put something on there that allows you to do something about it? now it's true that the project to arm the predator came substantial momentum after the air force team in germany found osama bin laden in the fall of 2000. that acceleration was largely due to the fact that by early 2000, richard clarke, current chair is in direct of the national security council and a senior cia official had come to the conclusion that the united state needed to kill osama bin laden before he killed more americans that al qaeda had done in the 1998 bombings of our embassies in kenya, tanzania and as they would do again by a bombing the destroyer uss cole on october 12, 2000. the air force conducted its first missile tests from the crowd during january 23rd, 2009 and in the spring and summer of fact year, top cia leaders warily agreed to can enter and i emphasize the words warily and consider companies in this new armed uav to kill osama bin laden. spite th

recently as an allied commander in europe to have a very distinguished career in which he has served in kosovoth us today with a very, very recently retired british general. >> i fully left on this seventh of august estimate very recently. >> can i just ask are you being critical of the government's strategy of a bike to put a question question, would you be confident that our military is clear of this strategy in iraq? to believe that could be attained by air strikes alone? >> i cannot answer currently if they are or not. >> what do you think? >> if you are asking me if this is credible and sensible strategy to achieve a policy, i would start by looking to define the policy. i think we have seen at least on two occasions articles written by the prime minister and the secretary dash leading a threat that isil causes the apocalyptic terms to stress the needs and i paraphrase that. >> but that is the government policy then i don't think that the strategy such as it is will achieve that. >> why not? >> because a strategy is about integrating the ends and ways and means. that is the strategy. the

campaigns tor enforce a no-fly zone in iraq, end the bloodshed in bosnia, serbian about a withdrawal from kosovo, and to from gaddafiians in libya, all without authorization. congressional support would strennen the international -- strengthen the international fight against isis, but the united states should continue in or without aith vote on a resolution to authorize it. thanks for the invitation to be with you this morning and for the work that you do. be happy to try to answer a few questions. [applause] >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'm going to start off with some questions. we will then throw it open to the audience. and we will have mics that will be brought to you. so let me begin. mr. chairman, there was some reference to the agreement that kerry negotiated between now-president ashraf ghani and ceo abdullah. you were, of course, there before. you had, i think, a cat littic role in achieving that agreement. one of the things, as i understand it, you emphasized the two leaders -- to the was to need for an audit of the election results. and that became a part of compromiseerry's proposal.

it was invoked in kosovo and timor.n both cases, you could make the case that intervention came asks late in the game. and darfur as well. 2005, the united nations world summit effectively ratifies this notion there is a responsibility to protect the international community, the international community has a responsibility to protect people and we are not going to give blanket protection to the old idea of sovereignty. this is invoked again in the case of libya. on the other level, i think the more political response among people who are not simply responding to events but thinking in terms of what effective intervention could look like, the emphasis more has turned to looking for predictors, the claim being we can identify the circumstances on the ground that are right for genocide. therefore, you need to be able to see those coming and intervene in ways, perhaps not in the form of military force. but maybe just greater support for the peace process unfolding and in greater sensitivity and understanding to the circumst

>> as i mentioned one of the main things are fighting people in west of kosovo ability to take steps to bring the backhoe. we cannot recruit from use or anywhere else in the world if there's a chance they might not be able to come back home to the families and to the duties, to their other duties. putting people in quarantine actually goes against our ability to recruit and to retain and, therefore, it would go against our ability to fight ebola in west africa. >> now the children from florida for five minutes. >> thank you, mr. chairman. dr. lurie, as i understand, congress in 2006 passed a pandemic all hazards preparedness act. we review that and reauthorized in this congress, and one of the key points in that was establishing an assistant secretary for preparedness and response, which is of course you, and this is supposed to be the focal point for these responses. you were quoted previously sang you have responsibly forgetting the nation prepared for public health emergencies, whether naturally occurring disasters or man-made, as well as for helping to respond and recover, a pret

reporter: critics charge that the tempo of this operation is a fraction of other campaigns such as the kosovopaign which averaged more than 100 strikes daily. according to one former senior military official, it should be hundreds to degrade and destroy isis, the administration's stated goal. at the defense briefing yesterday, secretary hagel described limited progress. >> they've made some gains in both northern and central iraq. their initial progress is encouraging, but these are just first steps, first steps in what we have said will be a long and difficult multiyear effort. >> reporter: the new call on social media from isis to its followers in the former soviet republic to carry out attacks at home, there now seem to be two clear battlefields, the one in iraq and syria, and one in the countries where these jihadists are traveling. bill: catherine, thank you, watching that today from washington. martha: another big story here this morning, the rise of isis helping to ease tensions between the u.s. and iran, and the obama administration planning to take advantage of the uneasy alliance by
