the prospects of success for the advancing rebels should have been slight. a grievous error committed by union general george c wagner gave them an opportunity. he left two of his brigades exposed half a mile beyond the main federal line. they were small to 4 -- far too small to stem the confederate assault. when the army of tennessee hit them the position crumbled. as wagner's men turned, cleburne 's soldiers thought to chase after them. captain sam foster described how the union men would fire a few shots and break into a run, and our men break after him. they had nearly half a mile to run. here we go right after them. yelling like fury, shooting at them at the same time. kill some of them before they reach their works. those in the second line not able to shoot because of their own men are in front of us, and between us. although cleburne and his men were shielded by wagner's slain troops, eventually the federal lines simply had to open fire. for those caught in this, union or confederate, the result was the same. by this time patrick cleburne had crossed wagner's position and was heading f

the african union mission. the incursion in somalia has been largely successful. al shabab is depleted and on the retreat. however, etch in its diminished state, it remains a threat to our nation. in desperation, al shabab formally affiliated itself in 2012 to al qaeda, the international terrorist group. this way, they secured resources and the able to infiltrate civilian populations and recruit, then radicalize kenyan youth to execute attacks within our communities. this is why we have witnessed intensified extremist rhetoric against the kdf campaign inside somalia as well as support for murder and impunity. this reprehensible rhetoric has embrasd al qaeda's extremist ideas of setting up an islamic caliphate in eastern africa. places of worship have become fertile places for recruitment and several mosques have been in the past taken over by radic radicalized terrorist sympathizers and accomplices. dear kenyans, all recent attacks bear the terrorist signature. last week's bus attack was accompanied by the same typical terrorist rhetoric. a few months ago, the attack bearing the same hallmarks. and last n

the post-soviet union years. but it has been highly successful. the key to a program like that is long term relationships. and in alabama, our relationship with romania for 20 years has played divdened in access, sharing information and even today they are looking at going into the f-16 mission because of the f-16 mission and my old unit there and we had partnered with them on helping the system move into that platform. behind the partnership, we have bilateral and are doing things on behalf of the air force and the nation. you know who trained them? the rhode island national guard trained them. you can see them learning how to maintain that. i had no idea what was the scope until i did this job and i am still learning about how involved we are with a variety of programs beyond the state partnership program. i think week carry more load and a security operation that takes some funding but it is key to long-term relationships we can create with people overtime. and with national guard, we tend to stay in the units for a long time and that is the grease behind the long term relationship. we will continue to

the national union met to officially debate the issue. energy, then isolated strikes for years throughout the southern states with varying degrees of success is with tom will verify. southern textile mills were hardly strangers to localize strike activity higher to 1934. the leaders of united textile union, northerners of course, were certain that by the time the union delegates arrived in new york city in mid-august, the huntsville strike would have fizzled out trade thus enervating the southern representatives clamorous demands for a general strike. what happened in huntsville, that number in 1934 was a remarkable display of solidarity among those workers. by mid-august, the strike and hunt will have yet to lose any strength at all. and this provided the inspiration for seven delegates, many of you hitchhike to new york city, where their finances compelled them to say five or six to a room. iny were nearly unanimous their insistence that a national strike a halt. some northern delegates who arrived intending to follow the leadership's call for moderation were themselves inspired and deeply moved by seven delegates fervor and their courag

much time thinking about the federal level, but at the state level where you have seen success in the beginning of a movement to control public unionswhich could said to be at this point its greatest actual achievement. not only taking place in republican states but former democratic states where they see some control is absolutely essential for ensuring that there's funds in the future to spend on other things besides pensions. problems, they have not yet found a way of accomplishing this, the tea party, at the federal level. they have not exercised full power and i think that's led to some tactical blunders, of which we are aware. theaps to achieve part of goal, which they did through sequestration, it could be argued the tea party or parts of it turned its back too much on defense spending. and now the second comp schmidt has to do with bringing the constitution back in public discourse saying the constitution could be a guide for the thinking of a political another rollgram, of the constitution in the 19th century where politicians would debate on what the constitution allows and what it means absence of the view that it is just

the soviet union much less since then. where i do agree with senator rubio, with the congressman, i just don't trust this administration to negotiate an agreement with cuba that is successful. this administration has a pattern of giving up all of its leverage at the very beginning and then having none left for the follow-up. they did this with russia and with iran and burma and it seems to be repeating the pattern. what administration gets is a photo opportunity, a moment for the president to pretend that he's denouncing a policy but what will matter isn't what happens now but six months down the road when the castro regime digs in its heels and resists attempts to open up that system. >> to say it wasn't for alan gross seems unreal. there isn't anything else that we got. >> it's particularly strange because we actually have a hand over cuba because of the fall in oil prices. their economic sponsor and patron, venezuela, is in terrible shape. much worse shape than russians or any other rogue petra states. we could have hard balled the cuban regime into doing what we wanted in the sequence we wanted. we sent a signal to other rogue regimes, take innocent americans prisoners

the soviet union has just a question while mr. bush was walking by in the rose garden stop he said are you going to talk to fidel castro now you have been so successful with mikhail gorbachev? mr. bush paused, turned around and said "what's the point? all i would tell him is what i'm giving you -- tell them to give the people what they want and you will see what you should -- go down and lift those people up. president bush's immediate predecessor, ronald reagan, always at first before talking to them, the cubans had to kick out the russians. now the soviets were gone. what happened is really clear. soviet one, when the threat disappeared, u.s. policymakers reached into the cupboard and pulled up the plat amendment. they pulled out washington path civilizing responsibility, like self and william howard taft. today, we insist cuba's readers are misbehaving, that they are violating their citizens human rights and the united states cannot stand by quietly and allow this misbehavior to continue. that brings us to the third belief in our cuba ideology which underlies the neglect and commitment to uplifting. the x essential core of our policy toward cuba t
