WEBVTT

00:00.240 --> 00:02.760
Yes , I really do . You need me now .

00:05.340 --> 00:09.280
Just do you hear me now ? I just yeah ,

00:09.290 --> 00:11.457
the first time though I could now that

00:11.457 --> 00:15.090
time I could . So so

00:15.100 --> 00:17.810
so what about your question now , the

00:17.850 --> 00:19.906
regulation of the securities and any

00:19.906 --> 00:23.030
american now . Okay . Yeah . I mean I

00:23.030 --> 00:25.252
don't think we see deterioration in the

00:25.252 --> 00:27.474
situation . We knew there's going to be

00:27.474 --> 00:29.490
continual challenges and threats to

00:29.500 --> 00:31.730
operations throughout Iraq , primarily

00:31.730 --> 00:33.786
at North Diyala province and none of

00:33.786 --> 00:36.063
the province and there are going to be ,

00:36.440 --> 00:38.162
there are gonna be attacks and

00:38.162 --> 00:40.162
incidents continued throughout Iraq

00:40.162 --> 00:42.218
that we would not categorized as the

00:42.218 --> 00:43.884
deterioration of conditions .

00:50.440 --> 00:54.270
So there are preparations for a

00:54.280 --> 00:58.270
Wife uh , operation and it was

00:58.280 --> 01:02.100
very difficult . The american uh do

01:02.100 --> 01:04.660
not want to participate in . That's why .

01:06.340 --> 01:08.562
Well Mosul has been the last holdout of

01:08.562 --> 01:10.729
the Al Qaeda in Iraq at least it's one

01:10.729 --> 01:12.784
of the last areas that they actually

01:12.784 --> 01:15.620
have operational safe havens to conduct

01:15.630 --> 01:17.990
their operations from . And that's been ,

01:18.000 --> 01:20.000
that's known we've known that for a

01:20.000 --> 01:21.944
while and so we have now increased

01:21.944 --> 01:24.111
forces and then of the province , both

01:24.111 --> 01:26.470
Iraqi security forces from the 4th

01:26.470 --> 01:29.410
Brigade , 9th Division and from forces

01:29.410 --> 01:31.577
out of Baghdad that have reinforced up

01:31.577 --> 01:33.466
there . So we have more coalition

01:33.466 --> 01:35.632
forces operating out there and we knew

01:35.632 --> 01:37.854
all along and that was some of the last

01:37.854 --> 01:39.966
remnants of Al Qaeda in Iraq Ansar al

01:39.966 --> 01:42.077
Islam Al Saraceno . Uh those are some

01:42.077 --> 01:44.188
of the last remnants there and that's

01:44.188 --> 01:46.299
why there's been some conditions . Uh

01:46.299 --> 01:48.521
just by the way , the bombing last week

01:48.521 --> 01:50.743
was not necessarily a house rigged with

01:50.743 --> 01:53.840
bombs . It was a cash where Al Qaeda

01:53.840 --> 01:55.951
was using to make explosives and they

01:55.951 --> 01:58.810
just happened to detonate from the

01:58.810 --> 02:00.810
procedures that were followed . And

02:00.810 --> 02:02.810
there were previous homes that were

02:02.810 --> 02:05.032
clear just prior to that one . So it is

02:05.032 --> 02:06.810
not signal necessarily anything

02:06.810 --> 02:08.921
different than what we expected . But

02:08.921 --> 02:08.790
the increased operations that were

02:08.790 --> 02:11.030
doing there are the reason why there is

02:11.030 --> 02:12.550
more contact in the north .
