the civil war many neighboring syria only -- in neighboring syria only further strengthens this group. militants are able to flow freely between iraq and syria, providing isis an advantage as it works to advance its regional vision of a radical islamist state. their gains have been dramatic. last month these fighters took advantage of a security vacuum in ann bar province -- anbar province, entering the cities of fallujah and ramadi in columns of trucks mounted with heavy machine guns and raising the black flag over government buildings. of course, anbar province is where u.s. marines fought so hard to push out al-qaeda. in recognizing those and other great sacrifices, i should note that this committee benefits from the firsthand experiences of mr. kissinger, mr. cotton, mr. perry, mr. desantes, mr. collins and ms. gabbard, all of whom served with distinction in iraq. this threat is evolving. earlier this week al-qaeda's central leadership declared that those operating in western iraq and syria were no longer an affiliated group. we will see how this power struggle develops, but isis'

the civil war in neighboring syria only further strengthens this group. >> with so many dangerous extremistsg up part of the rebel fighters there in syria, how should we change our plans with regards to that country? what should we do doing differently there? >> well, i think we need to continue to look for moderate groups and be more aggressive in supporting them. i mean, we have been concerned about making sure we've picked the right ones, but we have clearly identified some number of folks who are actively fighting against isi, the extremist affiliated groups in the region. we should support them in that fight. that's not boots on the ground, but it's getting them equipment, it's getting them humanitarian support. where appropriate, it's training them. and i want to say one note, a positive here. these extremist groups are spreading, but they also very quickly become unpopular. just like we saw in iraq. because they have nothing to offer. except killing. they are violent in the extreme. they kill the local population indiscriminately. and they can't govern or produce any kind of decent wa

there was little displayment, but just in the past two years up to 2.5 million have left syria to go to neighboring countries. as you have just mentioned a large number have been displaced within syria, and they're unable to get out because they're trapped in conflict zones. i don't think we've seen refugee exodus of this scale, speed and magnitude in many a long year, this is something that is extremely disconcerning to us. it threatens to get worse. not long ago the high commissioner made a public statement where they said the current rate of departure there could be more refugees by the end of 2014. this is a serious situation. and as you mentioned this is not the only conflict taking place at the moment which is generating large scale displacement. >> we just looked at a map of the refugees, looking at the number of lebanon, 900,000 people. it's like taking the whole population of canada and moving it to the united states in a couple of years. >> yes, the situation in lebanon is quite extraordinary. i've had the opportunity to go there a couple of times in the past few months. just physically y

in an environment in which it extremism is threatening not only the people of syria but also syria's neighbors. where we struggle this finding a common approach to get there. but right now we are in a place where we are finding those ways partly because we have that responsibility with the international community. ukraine, i take the point about u.s. and russia talking to get there because we need to find -- i think also we haven't talked about it, we maybe have more common interest right now apparent on what we don't want which is a violent breakdown in the country, the loss of the capability of the political institution in the ukrainian state to be able to function and a complete meltdown of the ukrainian economy. and so i think the changes from, and i won't speak but for russia, probably the common interest in ukraine can we find a way to words of those and the last point that i would make to clarify is that while maybe some commentators who are in a civil society and the media think tanks might want russia to have a less than successful sochi olympics, there is absolutely no question whats

said, we were gathering information from the beginnings, we were documenting, i visit twice syria and neighboring country. we are in contact with both sides, i met with people that are -- have been affected by this war that are directly victim children but were, for example, detained and released and they report on what happened to them. they report on what others still in detention. i spoke with parents that their children have been either killed or have been detained or disappeared. i also spoke with children that have been associated with armed groups fighting along side with them. i met with those who left -- who lost arms or legs. so if we gather this information and we also go through triangulation of information coming through our partners on the ground. we consider that what we were -- you see in our report that some information are confirmed and verified or they are reported and we are asking the government side and opposition to allow us to getting access if they can test something we would like to get the access and very phi with them. >> pelley: just finally let me ask you. is it your

photo is on the iraq border with syria and you'll see refugees stretching into the distance and the hills beyond. this is what is happening with all of the neighboring countries to syria. as you know, the united states is the largest provider of assistance to the refugees who have fled outside of syria. we have provided $1.3 billion in aid thus far, $340 million in lebanon alone. but getting relief into syria is the next challenge. because, mr. president, the conditions in syria are even worse than the conditions i described in lebanon. nearly seven million syrians are displaced within their own country. more than nine million syrians need humanitarian aid. but they've not been able to receive basic humanitarian aid -- food and medicine -- due to the actions of the bashar al-assad regime and also due to the complicity of the regime's patron, russia. the denial of humanitarian aid is a war crime, pure and simple. thousands are dying of starvation. cases of tuberculosis, polio, typhoid and other diseases are expanding at an exponential rate. and none of this is an accident. the assad regime is using forced starvation and forced sieges as a weapon to d

but just in the past two years, up to 2.5 million people have left syria to go to neighboring countriest mentioned a large number have been displaced within syria and they are unable to get out because they are trapped in conflict zones, i don't think we have seen a refugees exodus of this scale and this speed and magnitude for many a long year. so this is definitely something, voomly concern to go us. and it threaten to his get worse. not so long ago the united nations high commissioner made a public statement where he said at the current rate of departure from syria there could be 4 million refugees by the end of 2014 so it's a very serious situation. and as you have just mentioned, this is not the only conflict taking place at the moment. which is generated large-scale displacement. >> we just looked at a map of the refugees being displaced as a result of the syrian fighting and looking at the number in lebanon, almost 900,000 people. some have said it's like putting -- taking the whole population of dan and moving it to the united states in a matter of a company. years. the situatio

continue to be in this very vicious cycle which is going to have pernicious effects on all of syria's neighbors iraq, lebanon and jordan in particular. >> but what other tools do we have at our disposal to persuade the maliki government that that is the case? otherwise we're going to be left in a position where they're going to continue to implicitly or explicitly support the assad regime in the conduct of knewovers or other efforts. >> i think, and i just have to be really candid. i think particularly heading up to the election, iraqis are going to be increasingly focused inward on their internal issues and internal politics, and our hope is that after those elections with a new government up we will work with that government to really get at this problem. >> and, which leads to my final question, and that is, is it clear to president maliki and to iraqi leaders in general that the responsibility to defend their country is their responsibility and that their expectations should not be that the united states is going to fulfill that responsibility, that they have to after a very long commitment
