The reason I spent a lot of time personally writing that intent is because I wanted to make sure that before they went into the specific dos and don'ts, that they understood the framework and the concept behind it. And the concept behind it is that although you are still authorized to use close air support when you need to - and I lay out some very specific conditions that they must meet to do that; we don't take it away because there...
...early goals, for example, was to coax Iraqi politicians into agreeing on a "hydrocarbon law": a framework both for sharing oil and gas revenues among Iraq's ethnic groups and for allowing easy foreign investment. But Arabs and Kurds are no closer than ever to an agreement on revenue-sharing, and pushing too hard could lead to armed conflict between them. Hill has had to back off.

We could find ourselves doubly stuck because domestic manufacturing is no longer...
...each other and just how profound and deep that need runs. But it's often quite difficult to translate that need into action in one's life. The last few decades have seen a huge increase in the numbers of people who are living outside any kind of family framework. And it's not like people can replace that with warm, neighborly relationships, because there's been an erosion of that kind of community life...
