I certainly wouldn't suggest that they be re-armed. I don't think that's the answer. We have to look at protecting them in other ways. It's true that the change in administration has accelerated the removal of American troops from Iraq, but it was always planned that they would be gone sooner or later. They can't stay there indefinitely. At some point, we're going to have to face this problem.
The Obama administration hasn't addressed the issue of Camp Ashraf directly, as far as I can tell. It's a matter of concern that it has not yet reached all levels of the administration.
I mentioned the status of forces agreement. A number of people in Congress have taken the point of view that the status of forces agreement requires the approval of Congress and a number of legislative initiatives to have legal force. When Hillary Clinton was in the Senate, one of these initiatives was hers. She had a bill to approve the status of forces agreement, with certain add-ons or reservations. Senator Obama, who was also in the Senate at the time, sided with Hillary Clinton on that bill.
I've been meeting with members of Congress and their aides on this issue, and there is a view that this legislation should be carried forward, validating ex post facto the American presence under the status of forces agreement. Such a bill could provide some legislative American protection to Camp Ashraf. That's another avenue that I've been exploring.
The military organization in charge there is Central Command under General David Petraeus, and I've been considering the possibility of meeting with them to deal with this issue. It's like the incitement issue. We have a problem, and there are a lot of different ways of dealing with it. I think each of us should consider how we can deal with it. The threat is there, the threat is real, and the threat needs to be addressed.
