The United States cannot bear this fight alone, and a strong coalition, including the neighboring Arab states, is obviously critical to destroying ISIS.

I think today highlights really in a bipartisan way the need for full disclosure to the OIGs...

So has this been a new revelation, that all of a sudden we have this new revelation in the last couple of years that it doesn't mean that?

What would be the great enforcement mechanism, that if they don't give you 100 percent of the documents that they get their budget cut by 10 percent?
