The United States has been supporting the opposition with food and medical aid but refraining from military intervention or providing weapons. However, in June 2013, it was concluded that chemical weapons had been used by the Assad regime, leading to a plan to send weapons to the opposition group, which was vetoed by Congress.

HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_025221.txt

The document discusses the US debt ceiling negotiations and how they impact large cap growth stocks and rising corporate profits. The writer compares the current situation to a similar discussion in the 1980s when President Reagan scolded Congressional Republicans for delaying debt ceiling increases, which at that time was only half of what it is today relative to GDP or government revenues. The writer argues that while unconstrained debt growth with no plan to slow it is bad, default is also a very bad idea and suggests that debt limit legislation serves as a way for a democracy to decide whether mega-deficits are in the long-term public interest.

The person describes their disappointment and realization that what happened during the last two weeks was bound to have serious consequences for them personally as Prime Minister of Israel and for their country. They reflect on their past experience in special forces and how it has shaped their approach to dealing with danger, crises, and decision-making. They note that this moment is a critical one not only for themselves but also for President Clinton and the leader of the Palestinians, Yasir Arafat.
