I'm pleased our subcommittees are meeting today to consider the optimal organization of the Department of Homeland Security to meet the chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive threats that face our Nation.
A big concern that I have is the incoherence of a strategy in the region especially vis-a-vis Iran, the elephant in the room.
To save one civilian casualty, but then allow ISIS to murder thousands of people on the ground is absolutely contradictory.
What is the logic of a policy that restricts the use of air power to avoid the possibility of collateral damage while allowing the certainty of Islamic State crimes against humanity.
I do want to say that I do have serious concerns about what appears to be an incoherence in our regional strategy related to Iran specifically.
I think that incoherent strategy is impacting some of the lack of commitment of our allies in a political nature, specifically in Iraq.
The good news is both myself and Mr. Langevin are on the Armed Services Committee as well.
Coordinated by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, this assistance may also include assets from the Department of Defense.
Sometimes, however, the magnitude of these emergencies will exceed the capabilities of these responders.
