you can catch me weekdays on the fox business network. paul is back next week, and we hope to see you then. a fox news alert. president obama saying it's going to take time to free thousands of religious refugees trapped in northern iraq. militant muslims known as isis targeting christians and other minority faiths. as a result, american bombs falling in iraq for the first time in years. hello, everyone welcome to america's news headquarters. >> thanks for spending your saturday here with us. the president calls the air strikes a success and says food and water drops to desperate refugees are helping those on the run from isis. but he says it's not a situation that is going to be solved overnight. wendell goler is traveling with the president on vacation at

martha vineyard. what's the time table you're hearing from the white house? >> reporter: the president says this is not a mission that will be over in weeks, signaling no quickened to a mission he was reluctant to approve in the first place. before leaving washington, mr. obama spoke with leaders of the uk, france and germany. he says the most urgent thing right now is to protect the consulate in erbil and get the tens of thousands of are yrefug off the mountain creating a corridor for them. in the meantime, the iraqis need to form an inclusive government. >> the most important time table that i'm focused on right now is the iraqi government getting formed an and finalized. because in the absence of an iraqi government, it is very hard to get a unified effort by iraqis again s against isil. we can conduct air strikes but there's not going to being an american military solution to

this problem. >> reporter: mr. obama said iraq made a start by choosing a kurdish president and a sunni speaker of parliament. now the country needs a prime minister and that suggests that should not mean another term for malaki. >> wendall, just because it's summer and congress is out doesn't mean it does not politics involve nd this. how are the republicans responding to this poliforeign policy move by the president? >> reporter: you're right. they blame president obama for enabling the problem by not leaving u.s. troops in iraq, though he says the iraqi people didn't want them and nuri al malaki wouldn't sign a agreement for a continued military presentation in iraq. but mr. president obama said it's iraq government's responsibility. >> it means it's not an operation. it's just a pin prick. it's just a sideshow. it's just a deflection from the normal course of things.

you give something an operation. you provide a commander in the field. you connect with allies, in this case the kurds. then you get on with it. we haven't done that. >> reporter: mr. obama says he doesn't want to simply prop up malaki's government and enable his bias against the sunnis and kurds. >> wendall goller, thanks. >> leland, as we've been reporting, tens of thousands of christians and other minorities are trapped by isis in iraq. one group of krochristians here home pushing for the country to do more the dominique is joining us from los angeles with more. hey, dominick. >> hey there. these christians belong to the chaldean catholic community. the chaldean church goes back to the early times of christianity, merged with the catholic church between the 16th and 18th century a.d. here in the united states there are about 200,000 of them.

they're calling on president obama to help out those chaldeans caught by isis in northern iraq. they have other concerns that there could be genocide specifically against the christians. there has been a long this tri-of persecution of christians. hundreds are killed by the islamic state at the moment and the chaldeans here are calling for more u.s. support. listen. >> we have an obligation. we are a country that believes in religious freedom. this is our core belief as america. we have to act on it, and i was very upset because we were not doing anything. hopefully now we are acting. will start moving because it's unbelievable. >> well, the acts are obviously the air strikes on those isis positions northern iraq but also an aid drop that brought food and water to a lot of the chaldeans and other religious minorities on a mountainside close to erbil where people have been starving and dying of

thirst. you can see on the screen just precisely how 0 rugged and tough it is. those are the isis militants making their way to the kurdish capital erbil. they are actual areally trying to convert chaldeans and the yazidis to islam, or they face death. president obama, who sent in the air strikes primarily to protect u.s. personnel in the region, says the purpose is actually twofold. listen. >> we will protect our american citizens in iraq, whether they're diplomats, civilians or military, even as our attention is focused on preventing an act of genocide and helping the men and women and children on the mountain. countless ira driven or fled from their homes, including many christians. >> not just christians but the yazidis who i mentioned earlier. yazidis are an interesting religion. they combine christianity with islam and other spirituality. they have been targeted for the past 12 years or so,

particularly after the 2003 invasion, u.s. troops actually in the mazonth mazel month -- ma protecting them. back to you. >> dominick, thank you so much. with an even deeper look into the persecution of christians in iraq, father jonathan morris will join us later on 0 in the show. a catholic nun is one of the latest victims of the ebola virus. she was from the congo, part of the same order as spanish military, priest and nun evacuating spain earlier this week. nearly 1,000 peop$1,000 people f that disease in west africa, but now there is good news we're hearing from one of the two infected americans flown into atlanta last week. dr. kent brantly releasing a statement from isolation saying he is growing stronger every day. u 0 cranian government forces appear to be gaining the upper hand in the fight in the eastern part of the country. the commander of pro-russia

separatists says rebels in the city of donetsk are now surrounded and are willing to accept a cease-fire in order to avoid a humanitarian catastrophe. no response yet from kiev, but russia's foreign minister is calling for an urgent humanitarian mission, adding that secretary of state john kerry is working on this with ukraine. fox news alert from the middle east. the fighting has resumed in gaza after a temporary cease-fire expired. an israeli air strike killed at least hamas militants and five rockets have been fired into israel. you see the explosions on the gaza strip. meanwhile, egyptian-led negotiations brokering a longer term cease-fire are apparently going nowhere fast. rick leave thaventhal is with u gaza. >> reporter: the palestinians are paying a heavy price for not agreeing to extend the

cease-fire with at least seven more dead today. once the rockets started firing from gaza toward israel, roughly 100 of them since yesterday morning, the israeli defense forces resumed their aggressive targeting with air strikes of hamas sites on the ground. 58 places hit since midnight here on the gauze strip, each one shaking the ground, building after building reduced to rubble. one of the targets was a mosque in a refugee camp in central gaza, a three-story building completely destroyed at 3:30 a.m., 15 minutes before the first morning when hundreds of people would have been praying inside. instead, three deaths confirmed there, two of them hamas fighters. rescue workers searching for more in the wreckage. no question the mosque was controlled by hamas, its green flags flying on top of the pile of rubble today. the idf again reporting that some of the victims were members of the hamas military wing. this renewal of hostilities has ended peace talks israel says. it says it will not negotiate under fire.

>> we've had dozens of rockets fall on israel. they continue targeting our people. they continue targeting our civilians. and under those conditions, there is no basis for discussion. >> reporter: the palestinians say even during the cease-fire the israelis with weren't budging on key points during the peace negotiations, including building, air and sea ports and lifting the blockade and easing restrictions at the borders. leland, it appears peace is still very far out of reach. >> always an elusive thing to find in the middle east. rick leventhal there in gaza city. a major foreign policy challenge for president obama, what he's saying about the new u.s. military campaign in iraq. and what his critics have to say about the plan. plus, a dramatic rescue going down in texas after a standoff between a s.w.a.t. team and a gunman who kidnapped a toddler. and trouble in paradise. a hurricane is heading towards

hello!

three grams daily of beta-glucan... a soluable fiber from whole grain oat foods like cheerios can help lower cholesterol. thank you! just hours ago, president obama telling america that he won't allow isis militants to set up a safe haven in iraq and that u.s. air strikes have destroyed weapons held by the terror group. this as u.s. forces continue air dropping humanitarian aid. the president says this operation could take months, but he's facing criticism from those who think his reaction is insufficient and too late. joining me now, fox news political analyst angela mcglowan and leslie marshall, radio talk show host and fox

news contributor. good to see you both. i think i'm going to go with you first on this one, leslie. now that we're getting information across the board, we're hearing this that isis was more advanced and early intelligence indicated. do you think the targeted air strikes are too little too late or more appropriately timed, leslie? >> no. i think they're actually very appropriately timed. first of all, although on the one hand we constantly think here in the united states and in the international community that the u.s. is superman, we put on a cape or mighty mouse here we come to save the day. but the reality is, when we look at just air involvement, although these drone attacks are very significant, they've been very successful and they will continue to be, a, this is not the united states, it is iraq, a sovereign nation. b, we just had this week compliance from the prime minister of iraq with regard to air use by kurds.

c, we can't do this alone. i mean, we need help from the turks, other allies, and eventually president is going to and probably working on now getting saudi arabia involved, the united nations, other arab nations. this is not something we can go alone. the goal is and has to be that the iraqis take care of this on their own. >> angela, go ahead and jump in. >> too much, too little, too late. we're playing catch-up. we are the leader of the free world. i agree we shouldn't go it alone. but we always take the lead, leslie, and other people follow. the foo fact we've been absence for so long, the terrorists have taken advantage of that. 15 months ago president obama said the war on terror is over. quick note, isis didn't get the home m memo. the president ran on 0 that, but the war on terror is clearly not over. now 0 it's time for us to stand firm. if i were the president, i'd take a page out of bush's doctrine because we don't know what the president's doctrine is. >> and what page is that? >> bush was proactive and

aggressive, and we knew where he stood. he did not have any ambiguity when it came to terrorists and how we dealt with threats and terrorists. with this president, the administration even said this morning we're still going to study it? we don't need to study it. we know what's happening and we know how to fix it. so let's fix it. >> all right, listen, i'm going to move on. the president of course as you know assured the american people that american troops were not going to get dragged into another fight, another war there because there's no american military solution, he says, to this larger crisis there. so leslie, back to you now. do you think the president can be absolute on this, or do you fear mission creep? >> well, i always have those fears. i think every american does. seriously, just when you say the name "iraq," you know, we definitely have extremely high emotions and not just necessarily left and right/democrat and republican with regard to 0 that. there's a level of apprehension

by the american people, certainly the president has to look into that. and the best interest of our nation. but when we talk about what our level of involvement will be, i think the president can be and has to be resolute. if we look historically at the united states military involvement in the middle east and whether it's even diplomatic involvement, we don't have an easy solution. we're looking at, again, terrains that are difficult, cultures and languages that we don't fully understand, the dialects in those regions. >> angela, let me give you a specific question. i know you want to jump in. angela, you know the president spoke to the public. i want to ask you specifically, do you think president obama needs to lay out a more specific strategy to fellow politicians there in d.c. in terms of how to handle this crisis, this current crisis in iraq? >> i mean, i don't think he should be totally public with the strategy. but inside the beltway, yes, meet with politicians so the

politicians can go back home to let americans know, we have it solved, we have it hand elled. let's trust the commander in chief. right now there's so much ambiguity. when you have ambiguity, people come to 0 their own conclusions. as for boots on the ground, the people in iraq said, we don't need boots on the ground. we have enough people on the ground. we need supplies. we have all the weapons. they're antiquated. we need supplies in iraq. we don't need people. so i think we know what needs to happen. yes, the president needs to develop a strategy but not go public with it. >> fair enough. angela and leslie, i've got to leave it there. talk to you both later. thanks. >> thanks. >> thank you. he was certainly a symbol of the ronald reagan presidency and the gun control lobby in america. james brady has died years after a debilitating gunshot wound. but will his death lead to new charges now decades later? plus, religious leaders calling the violence in northern iraq genocide. and they are looking to the

united states to help. but what can be done about it? we'll go in depth coming up. >> they're absolutely anti-islam. they are the enemies of islam. they are destroying and damaging the image of islam. avo: waves don't care what age you are. take them on the way you always have. live healthy and take one a day men's 50+. a complete multivitamin with 7 antioxidants to support cell health. age? who cares.

father morris, fox news religion contribu contributor. you are a student of scripture and history. has there been a time in history where christians are under threat in this way, we hear of stories of beheadings. >> from the beginning. at the same time, we say, 2014? really? i mean, think about the romans, think about the coliseum. the romans tried to absolutely get rid of all christians. in the year 2014, after all investment of treasure and above all of life and limb of our soldiers -- >> going back to the dark ages here? >> absolutely. there's silence in the international community. for week, on fox and some other places, thank god, we are talking about this. i know christians contacted me speaking out about it certainly more than

ever before, but all the weeks later, there's a genocide happening. there's a religious cleansing in the year 2014. in iraq, where we were so involved in for so long. that we have destabilized eventually, not that it was not certainly investment going in. >> it's interesting that as you talk about how this is going. there's an international outcry and focus we're seeing, and so often you hear from religious leaders peace, working together, and everything else. for the first time, the pope francis is taking a dog leg to the right, and says we need protection from the international community. this is a very unusual development and a significant one. >> it is. i obviously follow this closely. today, pope francis sent out a tweet inviting the international community to protect the christians in iraq. now, protect? what's that mean? called for international humanitarian aid, thank god we're going it, but how do you

protect against a terrorist actively trying to kill you? negotiations don't really work. >> they don't work. >> so is he calling, pope francis calling for air strikes? no. he's saying is we have a responsibility to protect them, and it's up to politicians to figure out what is the minimal force necessary to protect against innocent life, and unfortunately, sometimes, it is violence. >> i'm interested in the larger context of religious leaders who are getting involved in this. you're here in new york, and with people of many faiths, are you hearing a coming together this is a point where the world needs to make a stand? >> unfortunately, there's not a lot of religious leaders internationally that have an international voice with huge amounts of followers. that's why, thank god, there is a pope, certainly many other religious leaders, but they have a smaller jurisdiction. i think that there is based on the natural law, what the human heart says, nobody speaks in the

name of god and kill and innocent. every religion -- >> folks use the name of god. >> that's not religion. anyone can say they'll do their own thing using the name of god. that happened over the centuries. >> oftentimes with horrible consequences. >> we have to speak out. >> for sure. thank you, father john, and thank you for the thoughts. >> all right father and leeland. technology that keeps a parent's worst nightmare from coming true. we'll tell you all about it. ♪ ♪ ♪

fox news alert. president obama's now saying the fight against isis in iraq won't end any time soon. good afternoon. thanks for joining us. i'm leland vittert, and welcome to the news headquarters. >> thank you for joining us. this news comes as u.s. military forces continue with air strikes against the terror group and humanitarian aid is delivered to thousands of helpless refugees. we are joined live from d.c. with more on the escalating crisis. doug? >> reporter: today, we learned the humanitarian air drops for the refugees continue as did air strikes. the pentagon released video of

both saying there were three rounds of vikes targeting con y convo convoys, forces, artillery, and mortar positions. they were performed from hornets flying off the george hw carrier, and before the departure, the president was asked directly if he expects the unnamed operation to continue months or years. this was the reply. >> i don't think we're going to solve this problem in weeks, if that's what you mean. i think this is beginning to take some time. yeah, the iraqi security forces in order to mount an offensive and be able to operate effectively with the support of populations in sunni areas. >> that comment might quiet some critics on the right who were skeptical the president would not go far enough. in fact, after the first wave of strikes, the -- after the first strike announced, mccain of arizona told the daily beast that that strike was, quote, a

pinprick, meaningless, and worse than nothing. it's not going to silence the left who fear the more military involvement in iraq imposed on a war-weary public. he said there were miscalculations of the strength of isis forces that threaten not only iraq, but jordan, lebanon, and perhaps beyond. >> there's no doubt that they're advanced, the movement over the last several months has been more rapid than the intelligence estimates and i think the expectations of policymakers both in and out of iraq. >> indeed, that threat goes beyond the middle east. dozens of the forces hold european and american passports. isis already planned attacks in europe and the u.s. >> all right. thanks, doug. >> after speaking out about the

crisis in iraq, president obama fly to martha's vineyard for a two-week summer vacation. marine 1 touched down on the island. this is out of air force one, and president obama, the first lady, and their daughter departed to the vacation home where they will be staying this august. president obama is breaking up the vacation with a two day return to washington midway through the trip. >> there is new hope for the family of two americans treated for the ebola virus. writing a message from the hospital room he's getting stronger every day. and aide worker nancy is said to show improvement. leah live from the new york city news room with the update. >> well, he is relieved and happy that she's doing better and getting the care needed in atlanta. dr. kent brantley, going into the hospital a week ago, says he's getting the best possible treatment. in a statement he wrote from the

isolation room, the doctor says the family moved to liberia to serve god in a hospital there, not to fight ebola, but cases came in. treating them, quote, i held the hands of countless individuals as the disease took the lives from them. i witnessed horror firsthand and i remember every face and name. well, the current outbreak is the largest and longest recorded for the disease. nearly a thousand people in west africa died since march. ebola has a death rate of 50%. yesterday, the world health organization declared an international public health emergency, only the third time this has happened, but they have not called for bans on international travel or trade. the director fft center for disease control went on the record last night to say the best way to protect americans is the challenging task of stopping this at the source in africa. >> cross border movements, the unprecedented nature of ebola in

this part of the world as well as in urban areas makes is challenging, so we're sending teams of laboratory experts, disease detectives, people who can manage data and communications experts to help get the message out. >> well, he said the organization won't put people in harm's way, though, stressing people are only contagious when they have symptoms, eight to ten days after expoture sure. meanti meantime, a nun in liberia died today from the virus. back to you. >> that's too bad. thank you. there is speculation that new charges could be filed in the death of the former reagan press secretary james brady after ruling the cause of death to be a gunshot wound from more than 30 years ago. elizabeth pran picks up the story from washington. >> he could have lived longer, the 73-year-old died monday, but the former press secretary's death has been ruled a homicide.

he was injured in an assassination attempt more than 30 years ago defieing odds in the medical community. >> he, in many ways, rewrote the medical books on neurologic recovery because at the time jim was shot, we could expect him to recover for a year and work hard for him to recover, and usually parties at a year have pretty much maxed out, and he proved that to be wrong. >> after surviving, brady was a symbol of gun control, lobbied for handgun, and background checks bill is named after him. he impacted the way things are done at the white house today. now prosecutors may attempt to bring charges against john, the man who shot brady and others in 1981. he was tried and found not guilty by reason of insanity. a spokesperson for the u.s. attorney's office in washington says the office is reviewing the recent homicide ruling, but

wouldn't comment. exper perts say it's unlikely new challenges will be brought. >> you have somebody in theory charged with a murder, one, happened 30 years ago, not unusual, but two, the person was already charged, and we found not guilty of reason of insanity. >> like you heard, prosecutors need to circumvent a federal law, that charges expire after a time period and double jeopardy because he's already been tried in court. >> thank you. the legal panel weighs in on whether the man who shot him back in 1981 will be able to be retried. well, the people in hawaii are cleaning up after tropical storm iselle, mostly downed trees, although some homes saw roof damage, by there is no rest for the storm weary, nope, because julio is headed for the chain.

we are live in the fox extreme weather center with details on that. >> we are watching what was iselle moving across the northern and western part of the island chain bringing several inches of rain. the good news is julio, we're expecting to move well north, but we'll see rainfall out of this across the big island, and then, of course, the rem innocents of what was iselle could bring several inches of rain. we're not out of the woods yet, but in terms of another land falling tropical storm, this one is going to miss it, which is great news. this is hurricane julio, 100 miles per hour sustained winds, and there's the islands there. north of it, blustery conditions, surf will be high, stay out of the water, and there's the track. good news for the area, they didn't want a second hit from a tropical system. now, across the u.s., showers and thunderstorms over the southeast, the gulf coast, as well as the mid atlantic region and potential for severe weather

extraordinarily important role in bolstering efforts of a iraqi partner as they make the right steps to keep their country together. we can't do it for them. >> and with his take on how long u.s. might be in iraq again and what the real military challenges are, major general bob scales, fox news military analyst. i want to start with this. is the president right? were the air strikes a success? >> no, not really. what's needed here is the air campaign, not a pinprick. they dried vehicles, a humvee, and that's important, and one was shooting into the outskirts of irbil, showing how close they are to the heartland. in terms of the good start in the air campaign, no. >> there's a degree of irony here. the weapons you just mentioned,

a gun and -- >> ours. >> and a humvee armored provided by the united states. >> check. >> to the iraqi military, stolen by isis. do the kurds have the capabilities? >> no. they are a light infantry. they have ak-47s, many left over from the first gulf war. they are old weapons and out of ammuniti ammunition. they want to fight and they they they can win. this is not a fair fight. isis is mechanized. military, antitank guns, mortars, and -- >> we're in a situation where the terrorists are better armed thank the good guys? >> you can't make it up. what we need to do is we need to send ammunitions now. we have to establish a bridge from germany and send weapons that can destroy we built for the iraqis that now isis has.

>> if you listen to the president, he talks about strengthening the iraqi military, and the united states continues to send help to the iraqi military, but when you hear about the iraqi military taking on isis, most of the time, it seems they run away. >> yeah. >> is there a difference in the discipline levels and training that the kurds and iraqi military are different forces. >> oh, gosh, yes. the kurds know how to fight. they have been at it -- they fought hussein. they have good leadership. they have will. they are reasonably well-trained, better than the iraqis, but we give weapons to the iraqis who will not fight, and they will not give that stuff to the kurds who will fight. i mean, what we need to do is forget about the sensitivities of the government, go to the kurds, establish a military relationship with them, integrate our battles such that our fire power reinforces their maneuver because it is only what pushes back isis from north eastern iraq. >> from your sense of watching

this develop in terms of the policy level and tactical sense, is it correct that the u.s. military has a lot more ability now than is let to use, that president obama is holding back the reigns on the generals? >> oh, my gosh, yes. remember in 1973, richard nixon established an 18-hour land bridge to israel that completely reloaded the army during the yom kippur war. we've been at this three and a half weeks, and we've sent two cargo planes? no. this is not a campaign. this is not a winning strategy. to win, we have to arm the people who will fight for us, otherwise someday we're going to have to do the fighting. >> so it's a lot simpler to do this now than later? >> you can pay me now or later. they will fight for us. they said so. they are sending desperate calls to washington, begging the administration to send the weapons, send us the weapons, and we'll defeat the guys. it's not happened.

>> we'll see what happens over the next few day, in terms if they take your advice. maybe they are watching, never know. thank you, general. >> good to see you in the studio with us. a gps tracker for kids giving parents a new way to keep tabs on their children. fox correspondent has more from denver. >> how many kids are we looking for? >> five. >> five different kids. the daughter and one son of the guys who developed kids sport gps, new way to track your kids. >> okay, so according to this, shay is right there. >> right there. >> sporting the bracelet with a gps system registered to the app. her location, right there on her parent's phone. they narrow it to the exact street, exact location within three meters. >> jason and brian and eric long developed the bracelet and cell phone watch after a vacation in

now time for a quick check of the headlines on this saturday afternoon, a lockdown lifted at a hospital in st. louis after police say an armed intruder made his way inside, all in black, possibly looking for drugs. a tactical team swept the facility, but authorities believe he may have gotten away

before they arrived. in oregon, fire official says crews turned the corner against a massive wildfire that destroyed one home and threatened more than 700 others. crews are working to deprive the fire right now of anymore fuel while improving their containment lines, and in georgia, a violent storm left more than 17,000 people without power, falling trees caused issues for a family in atlanta. one landed in their yard while another crushed a room at the back of their house. in a fox news alert, turning to another major story we're monitoring, talking about the conflict between israel and hamas. peace talks again breaking down in cairo, and rocket fire resumes from ga s today with israel lunches more than 50 air attacks in response, reportedly killing hamas fighters. we are live from gaza city, rick? >> reporter: the punishing wave

of air strikes continues to be the. we have word of two more palestinians killed when jets fired on the car, believed to have been mill tapts. that's an unfirmed. this morning, an attack took out a mosque in the refugee camp to the south. two of the three confirm dead ideas the mosque were militants according to the defense forces. while there, workers searched for another victim as hundreds of locals look on and hamas flags fly among the rebel. 58 sites hit across midnight, thousands this month leaving more than 1900 dead, some 9,000 wounded, and hundreds of thousands homeless. these attacks are retribution of rockets fired by militants, but palestinian leaders defend the decision to send rockets to israel friday morning. >> that one side does not shoot anything and the other side

keeps the planes over gaza, they have planes over gaza, all over, and benjamin netanyahu said nothing will stop us if we find them. the planes were all over gaza. >> they were not shooting. >> they were going to shoot if they found somebody. that's how this war started. >> reporter: a stanford educated cardiologist says that the blockade must be lifted, borders open, and gaza be free. he says palestinians will not give up. >> oh, boy. all right, rick, thank you very much. leland? >> temperatures of thousands of people taken to the streets in london to protest fighting in the gaza strips. marching past the u.s. embassy in high park, waving signs, chapters, free palestine. that comes after negotiations fell through on extenning the thee-day cease-fire of israel and hamas.

the situation in iraq follows a string of crisis occurring on the world stage recently like the pro-russian separatists rising up in ukraine, missile exchanges between the militants in gaza, and the murder of a high ranking u.s. officer in an alleged insider attack in afghanistan. let's take a look at u.s.involv with steven yates, former national security affairs deputy to vice president dick cheney and distinguished fellow at the hamilton foundation. hi. >> great to be with you. >> glad to have you. what we're going to do here is use the grading system of a, b, c, d, or f, and i want to ask you, start with iraqi. what grade do you give president obama on iraq? >> i guess i have to give a very low gried, a d or f, becausically, we have seemingly walked away with some very predictable consequences, and now some of those are drawing us

back in, and we don't seem to have any clear sense what the president defines as the mission. he defines tactical objectives on occasion what they do, but we have yet now another open ended commitment with more forces moving into iraq and no indication of how they'll come out or what might provoke more to come even still. i think that it's just -- there's no vision, no leadership, no mission. americans are understandably hesitant about those engagements. >> even know the iraqi government would not sign off on a document to protect remaining military, american military in iraq, you still say more should have been done? >> i do. i'm not convinced that we really made a strenuous case because i think the political adviser around the president were emphasizing the attractiveness of the full withdraw for other purposes. there's no question. the country was tired of war, but i think some of the

challenges were known and conflict in syria should have made it more cautious in terms of the withdrawal pace. >> talking now about russia and ewe crepe, how the president is handling that, particularly putin as aggression. what's the grade? >> i have to go there still with c and d, not a very generous grader on these things. i could be convinced of going lower because we completely ignored a major international agreement that was meant to denuclearize the ukraine and protect ukraine east' easte's t integrity. there's issues with iran and asia and elsewhere, and i just don't see this erosion of support in a new europe as it was once called going in the right direction. putin seems animated and maybe he'll run out of steam, do what he plans to do. we don't know or have a plan. >> okay.

let's go to gaza. how do you grade that situation? >> well, i have to give that a failing grade too. i'd rather be more charitable, but this is an instance with a treaty ally attacked by a terrorist organization. at the very minimum, we should be forthright making distinctions between right and wrong. in terms of who brought it on and what we are dealing with here. it's a complicated situation, undoubtedly circumstances that we're uncomfortable with, but we have alliances for a reason in trying to navigate the world, and we can't be equivocal where we stand. we can, though, make judgments about how we support and what we do in terms of meaningful intervention or keeping the hands off, but have 5 clear sense of what side we stand on. >> let's go to afghanistan now where herald green is believed to have lost his life at the hands of an afghan soldier.

>> that's a tragic situation, of course. it's one where hopefully the afghans themselves move in the direction of a coalition government to help unify the country, have expertise at the top, handle the challenges that they were going to face. i still say the administration has been somewhat slow to come to the table to sort this out especially given the fact that was characterized as the good war. we had a problem in afrghanista of training elsewhere. we have some modest control on that, but i don't have high confidence that's sustained. >> we're going to wrap up here, and if you write a summary on the president's foreign policy report card, what would it say? i think it started out as being the antibush in believing that would make the world easy to navigate in order to focus resources at home. it's end bold ped those who have plans that are competitive with ours and a threat to ours. i think that's an unfortunate

outcome and the president's team needs to take that intoing t ac and get a new strategy. >> thank you very much. >> take care. a new report claims the state department trains employees to testify before congress. according to the "washington times," there's a company to learn stafferers learn how to deal with congressional grilling. the classes include a mock hearing. the report follows a series of embarrassments and confirmation hearings for nominees. no comments so far from the state department. can and will the man who shot president reagan's former press secretary be charged again for the 1981 crime? our legal experts weigh in on this dramatic case. listen up... i'm reworking the menu. veggies you're cool... mayo, corn dogs...you are so out of here! ahh...

in texas, a dramatic finish for the search of a missing 2 -year-old, like a scene from a cop show. the swat team stormed a car, taking down a suspect and taking the toddler he's accuse of kidnapping. the girl's father snatched her hours after the courts denied him custody yesterday, and issued an amber alert. now, they were spotted this morning in houston where a chase got up to a hundred miles per hour with the little girl in the car. officers timely cornered the suspect, and the little girl is fine. president reagan's former press secretary, 7 3 -year-old james brady, died monday. now a medical examiner ruled the death a homicide resulting from the injuries sustained during the assassination attempt on former president reagan more than 30 years ago. now prosecutors may attempt to

bring new charges against john, jr., the man who shot brady, the president, and others back in 1981. hinkley was tried and found not guilty by reason of insanity. so can he be retried or double jeopardy be applied? let's bring in the legal panel for the discussion, trial attorneys misty and kirsten. is this double jeopardy to try a guy 33 years later? >> this is absolutely double jeopardy, no case, it fails from the get-go. there's no shot. the conduct at issue has been decided by the court, tried. it's done. he was acquitted on the lesser charge of assault with the intent to kill, and, therefore, he cannot be retried on the exact same fax, nothing has change the. >> is it possible to get around this in some way, you think? >> i actually disagree. i don't think that it's double jeopardy.

if there's a number of u.s. supreme court cases that looked at circumstances like this and said it depends how they are charged. if there are different elements involved in the offenses, it does not violate double jeopardy, and number of states looked at circumstances where there was an attemptive murder, subsequent death years later, and then a homicide charge. >> how do you all of the sudden prove this? think about it. tragic in every sense of the word, but can you say 33 years later the reason a 73 -year-old man dies is because of being shot 33 years before? >> this is going to be a huge issue. if the prosecution could get past the double jeopardy issue, they have to prove that but for this incident, this occurrence, the chooting, he would not have died. they have to show a connection that beyond a reasonable doubt that his death was caused by that event. that's a huge hurdle. >> yeah. what -- how does that play out

into the ability of the prosecute to bring this case? >> they have to be having huge consultations on specifically that and also the insanity piece, which we can talk a little more about, but the causati causation, the medical examiner supposedly said -- no one saw the reports -- but said it was a homicide linked to the events of 33 years ago. there has to be proof beyond a reasonable doubt that there were not other intervening circumstances over three decades that could have contributed. >> that's a lot of records to go through. >> speaking of the mental health portion of this at least, found not guilty by reason of insanity. it's not that he's insane at the time of trial. it's that defense rests on being insane at the time you committed the crime. how does that change all the sudden? go back and prove he was sane? >> i don't think -- that can't change. there was a ruling by the court.

he was found to be insane. we're looking at his mental state at the time of trial. in order for anything to change -- >> at the time of trial or the shooting? >> shooting, excuse me, yes. look at the mental state of the time of the incident. >> is it possible to reverse that lieuing all the sudden to have new testimony, witnesses, and experts to go, well, maybe they got it wrong back then. >> well, i think you -- the government could potentially put on new evidence and experts, but all the prior evidence is still coming in. the reality is that previously, it was proven by the fact finder that he was insane at the time of the offense. competency occurs at the time of the trial, insanity at the time of the defense. same circumstances of the assassination 33 years ago. >> you have to go back, and folks have forgotten, things happen. at some level, though, does it make a difference -- obviously, everyone wants to see justice

served, but is he going to be in a different state whether he's charged or not of the new offense? >> he's still remaining in the mental health facility that he was placed in after the event. if he's found to be insane, he'll be there anyway. that's really -- that's what we're talking about. >> kirsten, conceivably, though, the only way this changes is if charged with murder, you get over double jeopardy, get over the fact that you have to prove that 33 years later, this killed him, and then he would have to be convicted and not found to be insane, and then he goes to jail, is that the idea here? >> it is. it's a monumental burden. the government in the first instance and just standard homicide cases looking beyond a reasonable doubt, biggest burden in the system, and then when you start adding the elements on, i think it's going to be highly unlikely we see charges coming forward. the medical examiner's ruling of a homicide is largely, you know,

a check the box thing. there are -- it's an inflammatory term, but it's one of the four or five options that the medical examiner has when determines how someone died. >> this may not be necessarily a prelude to a prosecution? >> right. that's not binding on any court to deem it a homicide connected to the events. >> and the prosecutor does not necessarily bring a case? they can say we don't have anything here? >> right. look at it and say maybe it's not successful, it's not worth pursuing. >> all right. >> they have to look any time there is a homicide. >> look at it? >> with a decision, look at it, but it's above and beyond typical hurdles the government has. this is an extremely difficult case. >> uncharted territory almost forture thank you for joining us, ladies, and our thoughts remain with the brady family who made an impact over the past three decades. back to you. thank you, a programming note, fox news reporting an conned by bret baer looks at

and an unrelenting critic of president putin. after several arrests he left russia for london in 2000. some say he became a consultant to british mi 6. no surprise there. one day in 2006, he took tea at a mayfair hotel with two men who had kgb ties. within hours, he fell ill. three weeks later, he was dead. the victim of a highly radio active dose of plutonium 210. british police found a trail of the deadly isotope at several locations in the city. as he lay dying, lit ven yen cocalled journalists to his hospital room and delivered a savage indictment of putin. he said god forgive you for what you've done, not only to me but to the russian people. the world felt a chill slub as it gape at images of the dying

skin whose yellow skin and hollow eyes signaled a slow death from nuclear poison. business with russia was too profitable for britain to press the case. nevertheless, his widow, maureena kept the faith and pressured the british government with a court order to continue the investigation. now had, eight years later, a return to the hunt is no accident. not at a time when russia and the west have gone to their respective corners. the turn around in europe's attitude proved inevitable as russia annexed crimea, attacked ukraine, and provided the means to shoot down a passenger aircraft. like it or not, we have another chapter of the cold war. and with it the second thoughts of our nato allies. it's strange credit duality to think mr. putin didn't have a hand in this murder that and a series of enemies, billionaires

and journalists included. only the naive would separate good guys from bad in this lurid tale of spies at work. both mr. lit ven yen coand mr. putin held the rank of lieutenant colonel in the kgb. one of the men believed to have poisoned the tea now sits in the russian parliament. hearings, some of them secret, of course, will begin next month. >> nasa successfully tested a new saucer-like saucer that flies at four times the speed of sound and the vehicle is designed to air drop people and possibly cargo for future missions to mars if and when they happen. and while we're in space, sunday's full moon is not just a super mom. >> no, why not? >> it is an extra super moon. very technical term. a super mon is when a full moon
