9:05 pm
of the need for a safe zone in the northern part of the syria, something that the pentagon is interested in doing. that's because it will be military effective and suspects that turkey's motives in asking for the protected area has more to do with keeping kurds from consolidating territorial gains than it does in battling i.s.i.s. >> it seems that turkey has more than one motives when it makes the decision. the question is will turkey go further than this limited role that you described. >> the united states is pressing hard for a long-time n.a.t.o. ally to do more to seal off the border, and part of the back and forth is turkey is insisting that it needs a buffer zone, and it's a question of motivation,

9:07 pm
several hours to syria or iraq r and if something is wrong with the targets, we know there's a bad guy hanging out in the schoolyard, we attack him. the plane has to turn around and go home. now that they - essentially they have a lot of gas, they can go up for 30,000 feats, hang out for an hour, wait for the target to move somewhere where it's safer to kill him, and come back and do so. >> could it be all for not, if turkey doesn't control it. because it's been a conduit for i.s.i.l. dehli. >> that's what we want for the turks. we are concerned about the border, because we know foreign dehli go south into syria and iraq, and we know that the oil and inequities are smuggled out north, a significant part of their revenues. >> how much of the 20% or 50% -
