things you can do if you're a woman that you could not do in the 1960s, that's right no credit cards for women in the 1960s in the u.s. times have changed. that change did not always come s see. don't miss "the sixties" tonight at 9:00 eastern right here on c at 9:00 eastern right here on c nrks nrks -- captions by vitac -- www.vitac.com good evening. thanks for joining us. american air forces tonight have launched a risky new humanitarian mission in iraq with tens of thousands of innocent lives on the line. men, women, children, members of a nearly extinct section dying of hunger and thirst on a mountain top, some just days or hours from death we're told. thousands more refugees, many iraqi christians on the run, the largest city occupied by fighters, convert to islam or die. those fighters known as isis

closing in hosting 40 american military advisors now. president obama met late today with his national security team. we're waiting to learn whether the president will speak tonight or not. we have extensive coverage in the hour ahead. barbara starr on the plan. jim accost to on the decision to launch the mission and ivan watson on the ground in northern iraq. we begin with barbara starr at the pentagon. so what do we know at this hour about the operation? >> anderson, tonight we can tell you iraqi officials are telling us iraqi air forces have been striking all day at various targets in and around the area. no u.s. fighter jets involved at this point. the u.s. clearly sharing intelligence with the iraqis. why the concern? there are 40 american troops there working as advisors, as isis advances, the top concern is the safety of the americans, the safety of american personnel

in iraq is the marker for the president as you would expect their protection, their safety if that becomes at risk in the hours or days ahead, there will most likely be those air strikes to try and take out any isis threat, protect the americans and possibility even evacuate them from the area. we need to be clear, at this hour, none of that has happened but we are headed towards the prospect of air strikes as the situation deteriorates. >> the air strikes? >> that's correct. if those americans are at risk and there needs to be a way to protect them, the first line would be clearly a u.s. military action to insure their safety and that works a couple ways. you try and evacuate them, get them out of there or if it is so dire, you launch u.s. air strikes against isis on the ground, but that is a very difficult target to even identify. it's been the same problem all the way along. you're in an airplane at 30,000

feet. how do you know if those civilians on the ground are civilians or are they isis fighters? air strikes very, very difficult business. >> what about the humanitarian air drops and what exactly are they supposed to achieve? >> well, this is a terrible humanitarian crisis, thousands of people stranded in this remote mountain area dying literally of hunger and thirst, children dying for lack of water, all of this emerged over the last several days, couple of weeks, perhaps. the u.s. pulling this of rage together, we understand, very rapidly. humanitarian air drops to try and get food, water, perhaps medical supplies, other supplies to these people and try and get some help to them. isis advancing on those positions where those people are. all of this very publicly understood. the administration reacting to quickly. i will tell you-all day today at the pentagon, very tight lipped, extremely tight lipped about

this. not giving us details about exactly the status of the humanitarian drops, when they will occur and how soon tonight we will learn the details of what has happened. they want to ensure the safety of those u.s. aircraft and u.s. air crews. >> barbara starr, appreciate it. president obama made ending u.s. military involvement in iraq a campaign promise. tonight that commitment in a phrase is up in the air over taken by events and urging humanitarian need with inside details how president obama reached the act, he's go to jim accost accost to. what have officials at the white house been saying? >> they are tight lipped here, as well, anderson. i've been talking to white house officials, they caution us things are fluid and moving minute by minute all day long. you showed the picture of the president meeting with his national security team earlier today. anderson, i think what is also interesting is that earlier today, the president was observed having a very animated

discussion with his chief of staff outside the oval office. that's a sight we don't see very often. obviously, of these kinds of actions are being considered, that would lend themselves to a very tense discussion and we saw that unfold out in public earlier today. the other thing we should mention, anderson and barbara was talking about this, advisors would meet a condition the president set out for some military action to take place. if american interests are threatened, josh earnest emphasized earlier today, u.s. air strike is possible. one other thing they have also talked about, this humanitarian crisis unfolding in northern iraq, that humanitarian crisis josh earnest said is similar to what they saw in libya three years ago when you saw gaddafi's forces move in on benghazi. that was a humanitarian trigger for nato air strikes. the white house very interesting pointing to that example earlier today and then finally, one of the other conditions the

president has set is the iraqi government. they want to see a unified iraqi government. instances in which, you know, portions of iraqi minority communities have been worked into the iraqi government at various levels. that would also satisfy some of the president's conditions for launching air strikes. at this point, though, we have to tell you, anderson, i tried mightli lily to pin down josh earnest. they are not saying whether or not these air strikes will take place. >> it's interesting. when the president decides to send american advisors several weeks ago to iraq, there were questions about what about the potential for mission creep. you now have a situation where because there are american advisors inn urbil, there could be mission creep. >> all along the president said if they put those advisors in

place, that they will be protected. they are not going to be sent in and then not have backup from the united states military. so that was always something that they, you know, were taking into consideration. at the same time, josh earnest mentioned today, no boots on the ground. they are insisting no boots on the ground. when you talk about mission creep, it's not going to creep in that direction unless the white house will engage in a major reversal. i just don't see that happening at this point. >> you understand how much this situation on the ground changed, the fact that urbil a place thought to be relatively out of the danger zone is now being threatened itself. the president could speak tonight. do we know when? >> we don't know when. we've been hearing rumblings of this possibly occurring all day long, and very interestingly, the white house has told us basically to stick around here, anderson. they have not given us that routine guidance that it's okay to go home for the night, no more possibilities of a presidential statement.

we're waiting minute by minute the way you are. >> appreciate it. not only is iraq taking a turn for the worst, it's happened faster and more extensively than first saw. isis compared to the junior varsity is making one dangerous move after another and quickly, as well. our chief national security correspondent jim sciutto joins us with more. why is the tipping point for the white house to get involved in capacity be it humanitarian or military? are things that bad on the ground, not just for this group in the mountains but for urbil itself? >> this is building for sometime but the rapid detiruation on the ground. you have one a looming massacre and two, a direct threat for staff in urbil. that's immediate. long term, you have isis that expanded territory. when you look at the pap, how it

expanded from six weeks ago to today, you can see it's not just the cities that it captured on the map there but also the territory in between where it's operating and when i speak to u.s. officials, they saw one isis is not giving this up and two, iraqi forces have not shown ability to gain the territory back. you're seeing air strikes this evening from war planes in the north but to hold back isis advance. so you have an alarming situation here, anderson, with, you know, even worse than what we saw as a looming threat in afghanistan with al qaeda before and after 9/11. isis has more territory. it occupies this territory more like an army, in fact, like a government. they are issuing license plates, collecting taxes, directing traffic there and it's not just a threat to the region. u.s. officials also repeatedly tell me they are training and

preparing for attacks on the u.s. homeland. >> it's also not just isis forces. they are in league with sunni groups toward the central government there, but it's extraordinary, you know, when you think about it, just how pathetic the iraqi military has been, particularly the officer core. this is a huge military with the united states has poured a tremendous amount of money and training and time into this military and the fact that a lot of these generals and the iraqi military were basically given positions they don't have experience themselves, they are just there to see what is in it for them. the fact they have not been able to retake ground is really shocking. >> it's alarming, particularly with the investment of u.s. blood and treasure, $2 trillion, more than 4,000 lives lost but a focus on building this military to be able to secure the country after u.s. forces with drew. what you hear from u.s. military

officials consistently is this, they had a good fighting force when u.s. forces with drew. prime minister put his own shiite friends and cronies into those positions. and there by dismantling all that work that the u.s. military put in creating this force and we're seeing the results of that right now. >> and now real sign that that's going to change any time soon. jim sciutto appreciate it. let's go to ivan watson on the ground. what's the latest there? >> reporter: well, just to give you a sense of how close the fighting is tonight, senior k r

kurtish officials saying they are claiming to and we haven't confirmed this on our own, claiming to have killed two isis commanders, one in the town called guare, that's a town isis reportedly controls and it's only about 35 miles as the crow flies, 35 miles southwest of the center where i'm standing now and that's part of what triggered real fear, not only in the surrounding countryside where i've seen a stream throughout the day of iraqi civilians just piling into anything that can basically move, moving on foot even to escape the isis advances they captured a couple towns and villages within the last 48 hours, pushing forces back. last night you had kerds taking

to the hills and the leadership pledging that the militia would in fact be able to protect this city from the militants getting closer and closer to the city's gates. >> i mean, the fighters have always been considered and early on in the fight against isis were able to hold their own, what happened to them? are they still -- do they have enough weaponry and ammunition? >> it is a remarkable turn around if you think about two months ago when isis burst onto the scene capturing mosul. the kerds were celebrating as the iraqi military melted and looked like they could come closer than ever to independence, which is a dream for a lot of people. now there is real fear as it's proven that isis has been able to push fighters out of a number of towns and villages, closer

and closer here to irbil. officials telling me they are out gunned, isis captured so many armored vehicles from the iraqi army, armored vehicles and weapons supplied by the u.s. government that it is out gunning the weapons that they inherited from saddam hussein's army. they don't have the same armored humvees isis has and isis succeeded in pushing them back from a number of these towns and villages in the flat lands. the curds are relying on air strikes but say the air force has to defend baghdad, which is not the homeland here in the north. we'll have to watch how it unfolds but the curds will have two crisis, the battle field against isis and growing

humanitarian crisis here where the united nations estimates some 200,000 people have flooded toward the territory, civilians, fleeing within the last 48 hours. this is anybody whose not a sunni muslim. they are shiites and other groups that are scared for their lives of these isis militants. >> an incredibly alarming situation. appreciate it. jim sciutto, jim acosta, barbara starr. a lot ahead. right now we have to take a quick break as we wait to hear about president obama making comments. we'll dig deeper next and the larger strategic and military implications if isi six keeps rolling. s keeps rolling. ♪ [ male announcer ] over time, you've come to realize...

welcome back, breaking news, alarming news, u.s. flights carrying life-saving supplies. members trapped on a mountain top without food or water on the baking hot summer sun. isis fighters in control of chunks of territory in several major cities, a far cry from how president obama described the situation from three years ago. >> iraq is not a perfect place. it has many challenges ahead.

but we're leaving behind a stable and safe iraq. >> thing haves changed. joining me now rick francona and fran townsend. there is the humanitarian drop component and the possible, the use of u.s. military fighters to bomb advancing isis forces. >> yeah, both are probably important on the humanitarian side. this is something we can do but has to be done right. you can't push things out of the back of an aircraft. they have to be targeted to get to an area where people can find them and use them. you don't want them going out and exposing themselves to isis fire. >> there is concern, if you're dropping supplies out of a c-130 from height or low, you have to have some sort of fighter jet

escort. >> they will go in there. they will probably have f-16s equipped to do air defense suppression. that's the fear. has isis gotten itself ahold of a weapon that can knock down a higher flying aircraft. we talked about this and the malaysian aircraft, these more capable anti-aircraft systems. right now we don't believe they do but who knows what they have taken. isis has proven to be effective in moving things from one place to the other very quickly. >> then there is the issue of a possible air strike against isis forces advancing on arbil. that's always been at the worst isis has been doing, arbil was considered safe. >> capitol of the kurtish area. you have to worry about them, as well. if you do air strikes there, what are you going to go after? will you try to bomb? it's not like isis has a headquarters somewhere. this is basically an armored force on the move.

so you have to target individual vehicles. very labor intensive and weapon intensive. >> you spent a lot of time in this region. there are a lot of fault lines in this region. >> very much so. this is where arab meets kurd and religious fault lines, as well. you have sunni muslims and brought many years ago, completely complicating the picture and between all of these, the tiny threads of the christians, the other sectors, all of whom are vulnerable and persecuted and looks like another round is coming out. >> what is the end game? you have them on this mountain now giving the humanitarian supplies, where can they go? >> the only close place they could go is into the kurtish region. you can drive there very, very quickly. geography is not guarantee of

safety. >> fran, what is going on in the white house at this hour. you've been in those saituation. explain what the conversation about it is like at this stage? >> it's actually at this point quite tactical, anderson, which is not normal inside "the situration room." the question is what is the need? is the iraqi capability and what is our capability to fill any gap, that is to meet the original need. you know you have the humanitarian crisis. you've got to deal with that. what capability are the iraqis able to provide? we can come in behind them and do humanitarian assistance. you're looking to figure out what is the need, what is the delta, the piece the iraqis because they are focused on the military campaign can't provide that we can come in behind them and do and can we help support them in terms of the effort the

iraqis are making. so it's right now, the president and his national security team will be very focused on real tactical questions, tactical problems and they will be looking to the u.s. military and intelligence community for answers. >> colonial, there is a short-term crisis getting aid to the people in need, bolstering the cukurds, you have the core problem, the iraqi military that has been the officer core has been, you know, turned into a joke by prime minister maliki. >> yeah, the prime minister collapsed, melted away so you're leaving them to defend northern iraq. they are basically a light infantry and they are not capable of defending themselves against an armored force which is fast moving in on them. as we've talked before, someone in the isis organization has gone to the a war college. they have a lot of former iraqi

military officers. >> they have -- it snowballs as they roll down there but it will stop as they get closer. as they get into a more kurtish area, they will meet resistance. >> a lot of generals put into place in the iraqi military are there because they are friends of somebody, they are not actually battle field, they don't have battle field experience and not engaged with their troops. they are there to see what they can get out of the military by selling supplies or corruption. >> that's nothing new for the army going back decades. don't forget how quickly that military crumbled away. you talk about sunnis, but the soldiers on the ground have to make a calculations, who are they fighting and where are they fighting? they are fighting in an overwhelming sunni area. are they going to give up lives and expect that a sheer prime

minister is really going to help them out. what will they expect they have a chance against sunni islam force in a sunni area where people are calculating, who is our biggest enemy here? >> appreciate it. up next, more on what makes isis a powerful threat. what you need to know about the group that took over the christian city and so much of the rest of the country as we continue.

president obama launching a mission u.s. air force cargo planes bringing badly needed supplies to civilians in northern iraq. the question, will it work and will humanitarian efforts be enough? the question may depend on isis. >> reporter: brutal, well-organized and well-financed. the islamic stayed in iraq and syria known as isis is morphed into the most dangerous jihad organization, the method so extreme al qaeda has disvowed any relationship with it. the group seized on the power

vacuum left by the u.s. withdrawal in iraq and continuing syrian civil war and hostility between different groups grown by influence and bolster ranks for jihads around the world. its goal is synonymous with the name to set up in the middle east and with its recent advances in northern iraq, that goal appears to be closer. isis controls territory stretching from the syrian city to baghdad. isis was originally known as the islamic state of iraq. it was tasked with creating a sectarian civil war to destabilize the country during the u.s.-led of passion but the current leader has a larger vision for the group. he assumed control of isis in 2010 at the age of 39. he claims to be a direct

descendant to the profit mohammed. tactics have inspired thousands and many call him the new osama bin laden. as isis has grown, it claimed the responsibility of a governing power providing food and services to the residents of the area it controls. isis rules through fear imposing sharia law and holding executions to keep people in check and with each city it conquers, it seems the power and influence grows. joining me now live, bobby who has done extensive reporting and national security editor of the guardian and bob bear, a former cia officer. bob, you say there is a significant risk of retaliation inside the united states if american forces take out a large number of isis fighters, do you believe that? >> i've heard that. there are americans that have gone to syria and iraq to fight with isis. they have american pass spoport.

i'm hearing from officials on the mexican boarder that they believe and i can't confirm this, that isis members are coming back that don't have american passports walking across the boarder. they say it's a significant threat and they clearly have bad intentions. i think the level of terrorism, while not absolutely certain has gone way up, the threat of it. >> bobby, in terms of jihad organizations we've seen, where does isis rate? >> i think they are off the charts. i think they make everything that's come before them seem tame -- >> because? >> because in terms of efficiency and organization, you can compare them with the taliban, but in terms of sheer brutality, this is a new low. i can't think of any other terrorist group, even al qaeda that seems to enjoy the act of slaughtering people as -- >> it's like a death colt. >> it is exactly death. these are guys that put out videos and i've spent far too

many hours over the last 15 years seeing videos like this. i've never seen anything on this scale. they enjoy the killing and keep in mind, fellow muslims -- >> of course, that's who they are killing. >> that's who they can killing. they are killing them with a relish and putting out videos where they are not killing one or two but hundreds of people and the kind of slaughter that you last saw, the last saw in n nazi concentration camps. >> has no one been able to actually stand up to them given the pathetic nature of the iraqi forces? >> where has the resistance been? this is week 12 or 13 since they over ran mosul. the kurtish hyped up, they retreated back to arbil. we have to see a situation in which isis is challenged on the battle field. bobby is absolutely right. the contrast between the way in

which they are so savvy at social media is also like nothing we've seen from an organization with isis' goals. >> what happened? it's much vaunted fighting force. why is arbil itself under threat? >> they haven't had to fight since the hay day of saddam hussein. a lot of the battle hardened commanders and many of the soldiers, especially, went to arbil or the other big cities to change their lives, to try and take advantage of the new wealth coming. they are now the politicians. all those gleaming buildings in arbil, arbil looks like a small version of dubai. who is behind it? >> they don't have the battle field experience? >> not very much. once they have given up the life of people who love death and sort of basically enjoyed different kind of life of

luxury, it's going to be hard for them to go back. >> bob, you say some of the people fighting along isis have extensive military training. this isn't just isis forces, these are sunni groups, some part of the awakening that have been turned away essential lly malaki. >> they are fighting along with isis and don't forget, two months ago they over ran camp spiker and they got sophisticated weapons stolen from the army like night vision goggles, which the kurds don't have, that isis can fight at night, they can't. you're seeing engineers, sophisticated and also seeing sunni tribes are fighting with them because they are fighting again

again again against malaki and baghdad. >> the difficulty for the white house for anybody who wants to get involved in this is what is the end game? i mean, there is an immediate crisis but as if there is a solution on the battle field from iraqi forces, you know, a week away or two weeks ago. >> you have an enormous gulf in the way administration has this problem between the immediate of this crisis, the humanitarian situation or impending threat, which has been stable and the idea that you would condition any response leverage it to get major rearrangements in the iraqi political structure so they can have a sustainable peace is what they talk about, a victory that can stand up beyond this point. how you bridge that gap has not been something administration really has been able to explain, let alone pull off. >> the parliament is out to launch and holding on to power.

welcome back. the seize fire in gaza is set to run out in less than five hours, 8:00 a.m. local time, 1:00 a.m. in the united states as negotiators are working to extend the seize fire, hamas' military wing is ready to fight again if demands aren't met. we'll hear the palestinian perspective but first my guest joins me. how confident are you that an extension can be reached before tomorrow morning? >> frankly, we don't know. israel is ready for an unconditional extension of the seize fire. we've said so all along. we hope it's possible to solve issues in cairo but hamas is the wild card and they have said at 8:00 tomorrow morning they open fire again and if that's the

case, of course, we'll respond to protect our people from their rockets. >> but you're saying without a doubt israel will not -- if the seize fire does come to an end, you're basically going to wait and see what hamas does if they start firing? >> 100%. israel has no interest whatsoever in seeing more bloodshed. it's been more than enough. hamas ultimately will have to show the world what it really is and if it does break the seize fire and launches another on slot of bloodshed and violence and suffering, it will be clear who is responsible and who should be held accountable. >> hamas wants an end to the blockade and establishment of a seaport, an airport, you know, open boarders with egypt with israel. how far away are you from agreeing to any of those demands? >> hamas has a list of demands,

i think, my prime minister put it like this, he said they have a list of demands from here to bloody and if you don't accept and sign on the bottom line, we'll sheetrock oot rockets aga that's unsustainable. in the frame work of the cairo talks and frame work of sustained seize fire, of course, we're willing to discuss easing restrictions on gaza. they were put there in the first place because of the violence. it's the rockets that led to restrictions, not the other way around, restrictions to rockets -- >> when you say -- >> from gaza -- >> how long are you talking about? >> we can discuss that in the talks in cairo and i think some things are best left to the negotiations and publicly. the bottom line is this, anderson, if it's quiet in gaza, we can move forward and normalize the relationship. the government in gaza, the

hamas terrorist group can sheetrock eshoo shoot rockets in israel and complain israel doesn't have a normal relationship with them. >> you're not willing to publicly say what period of quiet, what length of quiet there has to be for progress on the issues hamas and factions are wanting. >> there are things that are best left i think for the negotiating room. i've expressed the principles and those are clear and ultimately, if hamas does break that seize fire tomorrow morning and launches its rockets on israel and forces us all into more conflict and forces us to respond to protect our people, i think hamas will be exposing itself before the entire international community for what it is. >> israel all along for days, you have been saying you want a demilitarized gaza, hamas, there was a hamas official who said yesterday hamas will never give up or today said hamas will never give up its arms. is that -- i mean, there are

those in palestinian side who say look, any country should have the right to be able to defend itself, should be able to have the right to have arms, to control their own boarders. >> first of all, terrorist groups don't have rights to have arms, that's clear. the israeli position is supported internationally by the united states, by canada, by europe. people believe that hamas must be demilitarized because it's a violent terrorist group. more than that, there is a palestinian commitment signed by the palestinian authority that gaza should be demilitarized. it's time the international community insisted that that commitment be fulfilled. >> appreciate your time, thank you. >> thanks for having me. reports that negotiations are progressing but no deal to extend the seize fire with strong words from hamas' military wing, the clock is ticking and the chief negotiator joins me. we understand hamas is urging you and other members of the

palestinian delegation negotiating in cairo not to extend the seize fire unless demands are met. do you believe the seize fire should be extended? >> absolutely. absolutely. i think every effort is being exerted now to sustain and extend the seize fire and at the same time, alleviate the suffering of people in gaza. we need medical supplies, food supplies, we need electricity, water, shelter and i think this can be done in parallel. the most important thing is we need to extend and maintain the seize fire. it's an agreement signed with israel. we signed agreements with israel to open five passages with israel. we signed an agreement to have a harbor and airport and 12 mile sea limits for fishermen and i hope the israeli government will say we commit to what we already agreed with the palestinian authority and the agreement

signed. also in the agreement reached in 2012. >> so what do you say then to hamas, particularly the military making these threats, basically, to launch rockets when this seize fire ends? does that mean -- what you're saying is palestinian factions including the palestinian authority are not standing behind what hamas is saying, is that correct? >> what we're saying is that it's in the palestinian interest to sustain and maintain and extend the seize fire and at the same time, the balance here is to alleviate the suffering for the 1.7 million people in gaza. >> but can you get hamas to do that? >> they will continue using -- yes, absolutely. that's what we're there for. we submitted a paper as a palestinian paper on behalf of hamas and everybody else and the paper specified unparallel we'll do the sustaining, seize fire, extension and at the same time, we need the international community to provide arial, sea

and land bridges to alleviate the suffering for people. we have no electricity, no water, no medical supplies, 450,000 people without shelter. so anderson, yes, we need this to be done in parallel and the balance is between extending seize fire and providing the basic needs of people. >> it does sound like there is a difference between what the military wing or some people are saying and what the palestinian delegation in cairo is saying, what you are saying tonight. how -- i mean, you say publicly you are speaking with one voice, but is that really the reality? do you really have control over the military wing of hamas? >> well, look, i went personality last week and met with mr. marshall. we agreed on this paper and then we agreed on the delegation. the delegation is in cairo. believe me, as palestinians, we work to have the seize fire. it's our blood and anderson, you should note that during the last 28 days of fighting, not a
