this is a fox news alert. military personnel are under way to iraq. they'r tens of thousands of christians are trapped without food and water in the northern mountains after trying to flee the ju haddists. they have been pounding isis artillery with air strikes, dropping 500-pound bombs. ed henry is at the white house, but we begin with mitchell plathero who's on the ground.

mitchell. >> reporter: alarming news continues to come out where nearly 40,000 members of a combination of islams and ancient per shants were taken to sinjar from a radical islamic state. american planes have dropped food and water last night but apparently it was only enough to serve 8,000 people and the iraqi spokesman said hundreds of women from that village and area have been kidnapped and possibly taken by militant groups once associated with al qaeda and in the kurdish capital, the siege is somewhat continuing as they continue to hit islamic state artillery missions which have been returning fire that are keeping them out of the capital of erbil. inner beal is increasingly tense as tens of thousands of refugees have

flooded into the city center and are erecting makeshift camps all over the construction sites and is slowly turning into a humanitarian capital as well. >> isis militants are pointing their guns at americans now. isis spokesman say they won't stop until an isis flag flies atop the white house. >> we turn now to the pentagon, doug mcelway.

tell us what's going on. >> the key is what they're doing. i just finished doing a peach which was going to air later today with eric harvey. highly respected. his opinion is highly respected. he describes isis as infinitely more powerful, infinitely more dangerous than al qaeda and e we're not just talking about the abduction of the yezidi women or mass beheadings which is a fierce attack. all the way from baghdadi to the military organization. they learned how to fight very well in syria. they've been fighting for a couple of years now in syria. they can shoot straight. you may remember the anecdotal reports earlier on when iraq soldiers said, boy, i sure am

glad they can't shoot. isis soldiers can shoot. they have a lot of money. they've robbed banks. they're knocking on the doors of iraq's biggest oil fields. they control the dam which serves not very much purposes. they need electricity like the next guys. if they were to be removed they could unleash that dam and create all kinds of havoc. they have initiatives under way for planning and development on western european cities and in the united states. it says it does not create much skill to create havoc in the american cities and american economy. we saw that with 9/11. they say they have more power and more wherewithal than al qaeda every dreamed of. that's kind of frightening. >> let's bring in ed henry. we've had two raids so far. do we expect this to go on further through the night, the weekend, any indication how

long? >> the indication right now is that it might be slowing down at least for a bit because we just got word from the white house that they have what they call a lid around here, which means the president is not going to make any news, make any on camera statement like he did last night which telegraph thad the humanitarian trip was on the ware and the air strikes. over the weekend anything can happen because what white house aides tell us is that the president's authorization to the u.s. military was open-ended in the sense that if one of two conditions are met they can move forward with more air strikes in the field. one being -- dealing with the humanitarian mission. if there's some sense that the up to 40,000 people on the mountain, that the water and food is not enough and the isis militants are moving on them, there can be air strikes in that region. meanwhile over inner beal where we have a u.s. consulate, this administration burned by the

benghazi situation, they don't want to see another spate of violence there. that's where the focus is so far. they want to make sure they push back on it there and keep americans out of harm's way. i think the bottom line is in the short term the president is getting some credit from democrats and republicans like john boehner the speaker for the air strikes and humanitarian. josh earnest asked over and over, what is the long-term strategy. they don't appear to have one to make sure they don't take over iraq, syria and eventually jordan. the question is what are they doing to stop isis long term because they've been picking up a lot of steam. >> why was the pentagon seemingly so behind reporters

who are absolutely confirming we're doing air strikes and then to come on later on, it's curious to me if they weren't talking to one another or trying to buy some time that people on the ground, our assets, were protected for when those strikes were going to hit. the second question i have is why in the world did the president feel like he had to go out and do a statement at 9:30 p.m. why did he not say, yes, of course, we dropped humanitarian aid, it's the least we can do, case closed. why did they have to make such a big show out of it and make the headlines they did? >> it was a relatively short address. it was 15 minutes. >> it was dramatic in that he comes out at 9:30 at night on something he could have said, yes, of course, i'm doing this. >> i think that you've been through this before. any time troops are put in harm's way, while there are not

combat boots on the ground there are planes in the air and military personnel in harm's way. they wanted to make sure until they were out of iraqi airspace. that was owing to why it was at 9:30 p.m. eastern. in terms of why pentagon was behind and reporters were confirming, they were trying to wait until the planes were out of harm's way. my understanding is they were not too happy about some of the leakes confirmed. they wanted to make sure the personnel were out of harm's way. >> i understand that. my point is i don't think they needed permission. they had the authority to do it and it was unnecessary to make a big show out of it. of course, we're going to protect our people and send humanitarian aid. i'll let them talk. >> he was under great pressure. maybe he felt compelled to speak out. >> ed, this is bob. i wonder, though, how do they answer the question, the request for thissa was a month ago, a month and a half ago when the

iraqi government asked the united states to in ter seed as isis was moving across the country. why would they answer the question now and not then? >> i think the distinction is a while ago when maliki was asking for help, number one, his government in shambles, two, we didn't have the clear intelligence where to target isis nchl this case now, fast forward a month, you have the humanitarian disaster we're on the verge of, a possible genocide atop this mountain in northern iraq and so that's a justification. there may be criticism out there but inside the white house they feel like, look, the prts was compelled to act. they can't turn a blind eye. if there's about to be a genocide, you've got to step in. that's why he did it last night and today. however, that does open him up to criticism and they faced it in the white house today. if you're worrying about people

being slaughtered there, why sit over 750 have been slaughters in syria and we never had any air strikes there? >> hey, there. we've heard about the strategy, stolen military, machinery, they can shoot straight but we were talking about this before the show started. we have no ideas what the numb brers are. if they're a small band of people rrks they small, in the tens of thousands? how many are there? >> i don't know the number and i think you're right, that that's a fair question to ask that isis seems to be picking up ground inside iraq, inside syria, and also the president was on the phone with king abdullah of jordan because the king is worried that their next move is to go into jordan. that would suggest they've got thousands and thousands of militants. i don't have a precise number but there's a disconnect in that the white house was telling us today there's a difference between al qaeda and isis because al qaeda was trying to launch attacks against the

american homeland. if you listen to what secretary of state john kerry was saying in a news conference, he was saying they're a threat to the region. but in the long term he think they're a threat to the united states. and so that suggests that, you know, regardless of what the number is, they're a threat to the united states according to the united states. >> this is sim buehrle. why did they allow it to get this bad. now they're saying, oh, out of humanitarian concerns they're compelled to ask. if isis is varsity and al qaeda is jv, why are we in this position? >> i think that's a fair question. it's really that it's not the president's fault. it's prime minister maliki and the iraqi government, their failure to include an incluesish government is what got us to this point. as you say, a month, six weeks ago the president cams out and said this isis situation is a growing threat, we're on top of

it, we're waeging u.s. air strikes. that's several weeks ago and didn't do anything. now, look. it's ease to second-guess. we don't have all the intelligence on our hands. the fact is this is something that's been on the u.s. radar for sore time and it was only this week that there was a potential militaryian aur that they should have intervened. >> we don't know if he's a militant, commander or what saying we won't rest until the isis flag flies above the white house. for a lot of people who are watching, maybe that's a game-changer. maybe it may not by our fight. they're bringing it to us. is there any response from the lawmakers with the this new news that they're now target america, the white house? >> look. i asked josh earnest about that very quote you just mentioned from the documentary and josh earnest sort of pushed back on

it by saying essentially that isis may have aspirational goals of launching attacks on the m n american homeland but that they may be talking trash and may not be to deliver. talks that game but then backs it up and then tries and sometimes succeeds with, for example, 9/11. they're still aspirational. like i said, don't take it from the president's critics. take it from his own secretary of state john kerry who at a news conference today said isis a growing threat and could be a national security threat to the united states. that's serious. >> two administrations now, we've spent billions of dollar training the iraqi military and the kurds were supposed to be a pretty strong military. let's assume there's 10,000 or 15,000. iraqis are up to 20,000.

why are they getting rolled over so quickly if we were supposed to have trained them so well? >> i make two quick points. he told me repeatedly it's up to the iraqi government. as you just laid out, bob, can you take the lead on that or much of anything? i'm not so sure. number two, what does this mean for the situation in afghanistan? you know, you can fight it out whether the president should have left some forces behind in iraq, was it maliki's fault, but the bottom line is we pulled out all of our troops and in 2011, this president said we're leave bhielkd a stable iraq and three years later that's not true. we're about to pull out most, not all but most of our troops. what is afghanistan going to look like in three years? it's pretty scary. >> i'm going to add something on

to the point you just made. a lot of people, if they suggest thad the prts of the united states should not have said to iraqis, telegraph the date certain when we said we were leaving because, well, terrorists will wait and regroup and come back stronger. that's why i think the military melted away. they knew we weren't going to be there years ago. this is not something that happened in the last six weeks. the last thing i notice, do you notice a pattern at the white house? they say assad was weak, they say putin was weak, al qaeda was weak and yet they're being proven wrong over and over. at some point do they recognize maybe it's their words that are not full filling what they're talking about in the situation room? it's a good example. we keep hearing from the white house he's never been more isolated and meanwhile he's got 20,000 more troops amassing at

the border. this week they thumbed their nose at the united states by extending edward snowden's stay for three more years. they continue to suggest that their foes like putin are weak and yet putin continues to thumb his nose. >> these little insurgencies are common in this area for century, but there are signs that they're already in the west. am i right? they have caused -- they've killed people in the wift already, rietsds >> sure. i'm not sure we can say isis has been as successful as say al qaeda in the west in terms of launching attacks but they have picked up steam, no doubt snead, it's kimberly. i have a question for you. i have received information that a question was submitted for an export license for the kurdish provisional government to get ammunition this is back on july 24th. united states government denied

that request when they were trying to do their level best so we wouldn't be in the situation we find ourselves in today. what is the government's answer and explanation for that denial which would have proved to be helpful to the kurds in defeating isis? >> that's a difficult question. you're certainly right. on the one hand if you start arming the kurds, they could defend themselves better perhaps. if you look at ukraine, there's been a fear that the ukrainians don't have a strong enough military and we'll lose those arms to the separatists and those weapons will be used against the ukrainians. same deal in syria. there's a great pressure on the president. he can second guess it. maybe he should have armed them much sooner. look what's happening in iraq. some of the weapons we left behind and gave or sold to the iraqi government have gotten in the hands of these militants.

and so, yes, there is potential. could some of those weapons wind up in the hands of the militants who then use those weapons against these poor defensive christians and other minorities who are sitting there on the mountain? that's a difficult question. >> we have to leave it there. thanks. >> great to see you. how the obama administration gravely underestimated the crisis. before we go, a programming note. with you're going to see more of us for another hour of "five" at 8:00 p.m. we'll be right back. when folks think about what they get from alaska, they think salmon and energy. but the energy bp produces up here creates something else as well: jobs all over america.

said america has made the world a more tranquil place. >> i tlink have been a number of situations where they have substantially improved the tranquility of the global community. >> is the administration behind on global threats? karl rove thinks so. >> the administration has been behind the eight ball since the beginning of this thing. that's because this president does not have a strategic view of what america's interests very are or a view strategically of what america ought to do in order to aid its allies and friends and confront its enemies. >> bob, i want to start with you. would the left having are given president obama a hard time if he had done air strikes in sear dwra or kept troops in iraq longer without a date certain? would the left have really have been that bothered? i don't think so. i'll tell you why.

for one, in light of this horrible, horrible refugee problem, you know, we talk about it now in the mountains of kurdistan -- the kurds, but in jord jordan, i think you said half the population is refugee. you have this outrageous situation with the united states and the aisle lies. i don't know how close isis is to jordan but it seems to me it would be a lot easier for them in jordan than where they're going now. jordanians are under enormous pressure. i don't think they would have had a problem with it because seeing this humanitarian crisis play out, the question is, you know, when you listen to karl rove, i don't think anybody had a strategy for this. >> why? >> talk about being a monday morning general. what is a strategy? the strategy is to try to stop these guys, i assume. the question is we don't have a

strootgy about dealing with isis. the trat question is do you u go in and take over and fight for them or at some point are they taking care of themselves? beyond that, strategy for what? >> let me ask you. there is a pattern of warnings taking place last january and february in front of the congress, the state department's own people saying isis was constituting a group that was going to be very dangerous and basically they laid out this was going to happen. the fact that they don't have a strategy, i mean really, is that supposed to be acceptable? >> no. it happened so fast. i mean isis took over so quickly they didn't see it coming. can i go very quickly. we don't have a lot of time. do you want to know why isis is working, 5 to 10,000 isis militants are taking over the country so quickly? go to youtube, go to twitter. look at some of the pictures. they're animals, savages, they

will stop at nothing. beheadings, hangings of young kids. it's incredible how evil they are. it that's why it's working. >> the trukts is they're terrorizing. >> that's the point i was making. >> today you were -- >> yeah. you know, i think that -- i think that they did miss some signs though and it wasn't just because it was a surprise. i think that president obama's vision was clouded by his hatred for bush's war which had been won and obama chose to lose. he's also obsessed with advancing his power domestically through obamacare and amnesty. through obama's prism, it's that and not al qaeda. it's like being a patient ignoring a mole that turns out malignant. if he only cared about policy as he is his abs, it would have been different. >> would there have been air

strikes earlier? >> think dana's right about that. the bottom line is obama had information from the head of kurdish intelligence, realtime intelligence months ago that this was the situation, that they were developing a serious and considerable force, a terrorist army that should be taken seriously and now why is it so late in the game? unfortunately because the united states failed to heed these warnings and failed to act. you see this genocide taking place. so as usual we're a day late and a dollar short, big on talk, short on actions. i hope this isn't an act of political appeasement but they follow it up with more air strikes so we put them out of business. that's what it's going to take. >> if that's the case, you're talking about going back to war in iraq. >> well, that's the case. >> why america should never retreat in the face of terror. greg makes that case next.

i'm a big fan of humanitarian aid and by humanitarian aid i mean bombs. there's a misconception that it's food and water. send them some mres and they'll be fine. you can not send them a meal when their heads are on a stake. bombs beat bread. we deliver them less than domino's, under 30 minutes or it's free. we need to remind ourselves, if it isn't us who brings it, then who? happiness for them is hell. passivists will shout think of all the terrorists your bombs create. but their pass ivism. he made no new terrorists and i don't recall any new terror movements beginning in japan after august 9, 1945.

prayer is the only thing they have in living to see tomorrow. islamic extremism exists only to spread and you don't negotiate with a stalker. our response can only come from above in the shape of a 500-pound rsvp for america is truly the bomb. >> hey, eric, isn't the latest insurgency happening because it can? is that basically it? >> because they're like we talked. they're just bad. they're walking their way through. i think it's very interesting how -- we've dropped humanitarian aid, food and water. >> it only reached 8,000. >> we need to continue to do that. >> we need to protect isis -- we have a consul in the area and we're protecting that. so far he's done anything where nobody can really point the

finger at him aggressively. he hasn't done too far and carpet bombing which a lot of people would like to see and he hasn't done nothing where they say he's a lame duck. actually i think he's done a pretty decent job so far. >> do you think he's done too much or too little? >> too little. you cust just give it up and say, okay, i'm only going to go three quarters of the way or play three quarters of football. that's not how you work with terrorists. they don't suffer from fatigue. when we waver and show avoidance by leadership, i don't think we should apologize. this is a strong country with incredible capable military. we shouldn't be a country of retreat. we should be a country that seps defeat from the terrorists of the world. we have the opportunity to do the right thing. we had hesitation and we see where that got us. >> dana, does a reaction to terrorism make more terrorism?

>> no. ignoring terrorism creates more terrorism. i think that was your point, which is the best way to be a humanitarian in the world is to keep the bad guys from being able to grow and soft power -- the softer side of diplomacy, that can only work if it is backed up by hard power. i'm frustrate thad the action has taken so long but now that they're under way, like you have my full support. >> get it done. >> absolutely. >> bob do, you see this as -- when you're dealing with these kinds of people only a military solution? how can there be any other? >> yeah. i think there's no question it needs a military solution. i think the hope had been that we would stabilize some of these countries and they would be in a position to fight for themselves. that clearly is not the case now. if we've now committed to doing this, what we're saying in essence is -- since the united states is the only ones kaupable o this kind of ability, we're committed to not a quick but

very, very long battle with air power. we did it to the balkans for several years if you remember and feeble brought them to their knees. i think we have to accept the fact it will be us and us alone who take this on. the question is -- it's going to be very expensive and will the american people put up with it? i don't have the answer to that. but it means we're committing ourselves to a new war in iraq. >> i don't think so. i think it's a continuation. i don't think the president has to be so dramatic and say this is a big new operation. he has the authority. go ahead and get the job dub. >> he's already declared a win. >> does it matter from hiss standpoint? maybe internally for him that's the one thing the hypocrisy will not stand. >> he didn't name the operation that. tells it all. next, the pope has issued a call to action. will christians worldwide respond to the latest threat of genocide? when we return. special care in keeping the denture clean. dentures are very different to real teeth.

tens of thousands of christians in iraq are in high risk. they have issued the devastating plea for help. >> and pope francis has issue add call to action imploring the world's christians to take action to end the humanitarian tragedy. how will the christian community respond? it is heart-wrenching when you see that woman's emotional plea, the desperation when she talks about the people that are being killed, the families that are besieged, dana. >> in every situation like this,

there's usually one moment that you can point to that turn public opinion and this could be it in terms of this humanitarian aid, that people will look back and say remember that woman, the anguish because she was representing so many other people. it helps us keep in mind, yes, it is true, muslims have killed more muslims. we have protected muslims, gone to war to protect more muslims. when it comes to protecting christians, thirnng i think thas something we can get behind president obama about. >> bob? >> the thing i find rather dramatic or disturbing is the pope waits this long to make a comment -- a statement like that. christian countries around the world, those are the majority christian, wait -- with the exception to the camera to say something. obama just now begins to talk about christians. we've been talking about this on this show now for four months. this is nothing new.

you're talking about isis, what they've been doing to christians. they started this in egypt months ago and we sat back, the pope has sat back. everybody has sat back i guess out of fear of the muslims. but it's about time that the people wake up and the government and the majority of the christians and realize they're trying to erad rate the entire religion and that, mr. pope, is something you want to get into earlier. >> oh, my gosh. >> let's not offend the pope. >> i don't have a date for you, bob, but i kind of remember when we were talking about the 1,800-year-old church that was leveled in syria. he weighed in. look. whether it's the muslim brotherhood killing or syria or isis. there's one other, it's islamists. muslim radicals. they're so intolerant. >> jihadists. >> yeah. we're talking about it. we were the only ones talking

about it. now all networks are talking about it. this is an epidemic. >> it's his holiness, not mr. pope. >> they claim they want to create an islamic state. it's crazy. that might not be the right question. the right question should be what should muslims do. isis is killing christians but your silence, the muslim silence is killing your religion. the outcry and the purge must come from within. everyone is vulnerable to these ghouls and they believe they are the true successor to islam. who's going to stop them? the moderates. the good news is c.a.r.e. condemned them. >> that's a very good point. if they're going to depend on us to do this, why do they not do it themselves? that's what i find? >> get involved. c.a.r.e. make a difference. coming up next on the "five,"

welcome back to the 5. we turn now to the crisis in the

middle east where hamas has resumed its rocket attacks in israel after a three-day troos has expired. they're on the ground in gaza with the latest. rick? >> reporter: bob, we've just heard a couple manufacture air strikes to the south of us. we've seen flares or tracer fire over gaza. we saw a number of air strikes by gaza. we saw rockets fired from gaza toward israel just minutes after the cease-fire ended. these are some of the 60 rockets that israel said were fired in its direction breaking the cease-fire and requiring israel to return fire, they say. three doesn't at least hit inside the israeli territory, minor damages and a few injuries, but the israeli response has been pretty hard. they struck a number of targets

across northern gaza where wi are, in central gaza and also further to the south. palestinians report at least six dead today including a 10-year-old boy and some 30 wounded. but, of course, hamas is to blame. if hamas hadn't fired on israel, they would not be forced to retaliate. all this means is the peace talks are basically halted in cairo. they have left the table. the palestinians and them are still there. >> rick, by the way, you've done a terrific job there. i've been asking this question ore and over again. maybe you've got some hint of this. that's thousands of missiles that have been shot. how are they getting into gaza? i mean i can assume they're coming from syria and iran. they have been smuggling them in through the tunnels. then they hide them in those tunnels or other areas and they fire them in many cases from civilian areas an open areas

like some right behind us in north gaza. >> rick, thank as lot. stay safe. is this a surprise to anybody that hamas picked this right up? >> i'll very quickly throw this out there. hamas said they broke the cease-fire because their demands weren't met. by the way, the 72 hours was up and their demands weren't met so they started firing again. what right do they have to make demands? >> right. terrorist organizations don't get to make demands. >> but guess what, they missed memo. all they've been getting is coddling from the media, from this administration. i don't even understand why we're having this conversation. they're a terrorist organizat n organization. why are you showing them so much respect? why are the israelis the bad guys and they can't defend themselves? hay ahh mass is causing the death and destruction of the gazans too. >> the truce is a time to read all the media clippings from all the european media like the bbc

and "guardian" to find out how well they're doing. >> there you go. one more thing. >> and jimmy carter. >> jimmy carter, your buddy. [ woman ] i've always tried to see things from the best angle i could.

it's how i look at life. especially now that i live

with a higher risk of stroke due to afib, a type of irregular heartbeat not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin but wondered, could i focus on something better? my doctor told me about eliquis for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin there's no routine blood testing.
