$330mil from the state dept request this fiscal year (in addition to the 128mil cut from last year that Biden didn't mention). Rep. Issa's defense of that was particularly weak...

        Actually I think it would be more accurate to say that she refused to extend the US security forces that had been there, despite the requests of those - Stephen Oct 12, 11:18 1
