What we're talking about is the need for thousands of beds. We can provide in a field hospital 248 and we only have so many field hospitals so I see us playing this role where we're the gap filler for a period of weeks with our capabilities once the capacity is met through these other mechanisms.

The Iraqis have a responsibility to the United States and all countries who have embassies in that country to defend, provide the outer security for the embassy and we expect United States to do that. That was communicated to United States by our senior leaders, by Secretary Pompeo and United States've committed to doing that. I think United States performance has greatly improved in the last 24 hours, i've made the point over and over again that they need to do more internally within The Iraqis to address these Iran sponsored militia groups and stop their attacks on United States and coalition forces and they need to investigate the attacks and help us to account the preparators, we haven't seen sufficient action on their part and they certainly need to help reinforce and defend the embassy but they need to get left of the problem and stop these attacks from happening and they get the Iranian influence out of their country.
