The House Armed Committee hearing.

The newspapers have extensively covered the statements made by James N Mattis, US Secy of Defence and Joseph F. Dunford, Chairman of the Joint Chief of Staff at the House Armed Committee hearing.

One does not get the sense of the complete hearing if you don’t see the hearing. The 3 hours and 14 minute hearing has to be viewed to understand how the present US Govt is planning to address South Asian region. It is available at https://armedservices.house.gov/legislation/hearings/us-defense-strategy-afghanistan

How about putting our RM and Chief of Armed Forces to answer searching questions under a parliamentary committee. There is no aide to help out. One has to be one his own. 

MPs need not worry. They can employ experts to help them understand issues on National Security and draft questionnaire. People like me who are loath to appear before the idiot box and available.

Just flying kite.
