midterm elections fast approaching can congress likely to get anything done? first, the pentagon now considering air strikes on isis targets in syria after the murder of james foley at the hands of the terror group. so far u.s. strikes with drones and fighter jets had been limited to iraq. but the heart of the terrorist group lies next door in syria. top military leaders are making it clear this week they will do whatever is necessary to protect americans. national security correspondent jennifer griffin joins us live from washington. jen, do we have a time line on the series of strikes or is the pentagon still in the planning stages? >> no time line as as of let. a senior official tells us in the wake of the foley execution the defense department actively began weighing options for the

president po include air strikes in syria against isis as well as the possibility of spending u.s. special operations troops on the ground. a dramatic shift from the narrow mission the president outlined. no decision has yet been made. deputy national adviser ben rhodes said the u.s. would not be deterred by any borders. >> we've made it very clear time and again, if you come aftafter americans we'll come after you no matter where you are. >> can they be defeated without addressing that part of that organization which resides? syria? the answer is no. >> the pentagon says sees no sign that isis has crossed the border into the united states. those watch this group grow in strength shows the group is planningen attack on the u.s. home. >> they're crazy and rapidly planning blowing up a major u.s.

city. isis, they are really bad terrorists. they're so bad that al qaeda afraid of them. >> the president may now be regrelting his choice of words in january when he mocked isis in an interview with the new yorker. quote. analogy we use around here sometimes and i think is accurate is if a jv team and puts on lakers uniforms doesn't make them kobe bryant. >> jen, from your reporting inside the pentagon, do you get the sense that it is the pentagon pushing the white house for a stronger response saying, we need it to go after isis and take the fight into syria? or is it the white house pushing the pentagon along? >> well, i think if you listen to chairman dempsey and secretary hagel on thursday they

came out strong. it is very clear it is the pentagon proposing going further. there been a great deal of frustration to my sources that there is no strategy to defeat isis on whole from the white house. these limited strikes in iraq, no one in the pentagon thought they would add up to a strategy to defeat ices is. >> do they feel like they've been playing catch-up? is there an animosity toward the white house? do they think it will take more to knock isiss out since they haven't been able to go after them in the way they wanted to? or is it going to take the same amount of force now as it would have a couple of months ago? >> i think there's a great deal of frustration they've lost time. there were assessments about isis, its capabilities when they were gathering back earlier this year. i've talked intelligence officials who themselves warned the white house, the national security staff about isis, they were not taken seriously. now they feel the foley video

has unveiled what they've known for quite some time, that isis is a very, very serious threat. >> staying on this for a minute, from your sources in the pentagon, what are they saying in terms of their intelligence abilities on the ground against isis? we know there pretty good intelligence in iraq. how are their human intelligence, about the leadership and the ability to find targets of isis to hit? >> well, signals, intelligence and drones from the air, the aerial surveillance is always what the pentagon has had to rely on because, remember, have not been able to have boots on the ground in either syria or iraq. that's been firm red line the president has presented. remember, when the u.military pulled out of iraq in 2011 that caused the cia to pull back a very vast operation inside iraq. >> jennifer, we have to leave it here as we talk about this. we're just getting word there a

press conference of officers in support of darren wilson, officer who shot michael brown. >> we are exclusively here to support darren wilson and we have no desire to engage in the negativity and hate which has paralyzed officer wilson's ability to pursue justice. many of us have received death threats against ourselves and our families. contrary to media suggestions, we are not affiliated with any hate groups. >> however, we respect each individual's first amendment rights in this country. we will not hide. we will no longer live in fear. we ask this question -- can justice ever be attained if one side supporters are living in fear of speaking out? if you support darrin wilson, make your voice heard. call or write the governor and demand this bias stops now. the media will have to earn the

trust of the support it darren wilson group. stop drawing maps to houses, broadcasting in front of parties' homes, knocking on their families' doors, putting people's lives at risk. this is unethical, poor journalism and a travesty. at the end of the statement, the media will ask for my name and others and relationships, job titles, stories, etsz. you want my name? my name is darrin wilson. we are darren wilson. thank you. >> nicely done. >> nice job. >> thank you. >> officer darren wilson is the police officer involved in the shooting of michael brown in ferguson, killing michael brown. we have garrett tenny on the

ground. can you give us an idea how many supporters are here, what the scene is there? >> reporter: leland, there's probably about a hundred or so supporters here right now, but really for the last hour and a half or so, we have had cars driving by, lots of horns being beeped, cars pulling over to the side, someone hopping out, dropping off $5, $10, $20 into the donationing bucket. they're out here to show their support for darren wilson but also to raise funds for darren and his family with the idea, if there is going to be any type f prosecution against him in the courts of law, they want him to have the resources he needs to defend himself there. also online, a fund-raising campaign has raised more than $290,000 for officer wilson in just the last five days. people here say their side is one that has not been told in the media. after two weeks since this has happened, they are ready now to step out and make their side

known that there are those out there who do support officer wilson and they will let their voices be heard, now just as you heard them say in that statement. leland? >> garrett, auf been on the ground there. give us a feeling for what last night was like. have we seen the violence subside? has it been peaceful? what has it been like over the last 24 hour snz. >> reporter: last night was night and day difference between what we've seen the last two weeks. there were zero arrests. the first night that has happened in two weeks. so those protests have definitely really died down the last couple of weeks. they are very peaceful. last night it was just about a crowd of 100 or so in ferguson, but there was also greater emphasis on prayer. praying for the family of michael brown, praying for peace, and many in the community also saying that they are praying for officer darren wilson and his family as well. so there definitely will be a

shift. people are wondering whether or not the funeral of michael brown on monday will change that with reverend al sharpton to give remarks there at the funeral. many on both size will be keeping a close eye on that. >> the next 24 to 36 hours will certainly be telling. garrett tenney live in st. louis for the first rally we've seen for officer darren wilson. about 100 people showing up. garrett, thank you. jowly? a rally under way on new york staten island following the death of an unarmed black man being arrested by the police. we'll troy to get that video for you. there you go. >> we demand an end! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> hands up! >> don't shoot! >> as you can hear, hands up,

don't shoot, a demand that protest hers have been going out and get gt message across, that officers were involved criminal charges. reverend al sharpton urges zmon zraitors to receive peaceful. 43-year-old eric garner was stopped for selling cigarettes when he was wrestled to the ground and resisted arrest. >> for more on the situation in ferguson as it develops, be sure to check out fox news sunday, guests include author and fox news contributor "dr. ben carson" as well as founder and president of the rainbow push coalition, "reverend jesse jackson". back to the top story, the white house making strong remarks saying the u.s. needs no invitation to rescue its citizens who are in imminent danger against isis. this suggests military action in syria. we are live in martha's vineyard

where the president is wrapping up his vacation soon. >> reporter: julie, the brutality of jim foley's execution has called for the extinction of isis. the president says the u.s. will work with iraqis add kurds suggesting their boots on the ground. but peter king wants a more aggressive response. >> we have to let the people know there is going do be a long twilight struggle, get the iraqi army back into it. and we have to carry out bombing attacks in syria. we have to have americans embedded with iraqi troops as far as intelligence and direction. >> foley's murder did not stop the u.s. air strikes as killers blamed for his death and even the president's own military advisers said dealing with the group would mean attacking its base of power in syria. plans call for what the u.s. considers to be moderate syrian

rebels to wage that fight perhaps with u.s. weapons. mr. obama hasn't ruled out air power to help the syrian rebel but they know that helps bashar al assad fighting isis. still, they say it's an option. >> we're actively considering what's going to be necessary to deal with that threat and we're not going to be restricted by borders. we've shown time and again that if there's a counterterrorism threat, we'll take direct action if necessary against that threat. >> ben rhodes concedes foley's murder is isis first terrorist attack on the u.s. that's an assertion the administration seemed reluctant to make after the benghazi attack in 2012. >> wendall goller, thank you very much. the u.s. military as we've talk birthday is weighing expanding its operations against isis taking the fight perhaps into syria. we'll break down and analyze that strategy. and more police officers are

some new gear for law enforcement. more police officers across the country are actually wearing cameras that record video and audio wliel they're at work. authorities say complaints against officers have actually dropped and the use of force has decreased. now the lap is the largest police force in the country that is testing these cameras. dominick is live in los angeles to explain. >> hey julie. it makes you wonder just how difference events in ferguson would have been. but officers are finding these cameras are a valuable tool of the trade now. take a look. >> there's no better evidence than video and audio. you know, just complements your report, just solidifies your case. >> body mans and cameras are a

welcome use of equipment as these two as they patrol skid row. >> you think it may escalate to where you may need the recording, you turn it on. >> reporter: the lapd is the largest force in the country to use them, something its chief has pushed for the department haunted by incidents like rodney king. a study involving the rey at toy, california, complaints found complaints felt 88% and use of force dropped by almost two-thirds in just one year. the lapd has seen a reduction in the latter and as far as complaints video evidence speeds up the investigation process. >> it also helps the officers in terms of recollection of what happened in an event so they can be very accurate when they complete their reports or when they go to testify. >> slide it down there. you see the lens there. >> reporter: the aclu is working with the doj and law enforcement agencies across the country to establish strict prive prive policies. they want the video to be stored and later deleted to never see the light of day.

>> unless a particular video flagged because there has been an accusation of wrong doing or unprofessional conduct against an officer or flagged by the police because they believe it contains evidence of wrong doing. >> now, the lapd is still hammering out its policies but they say the video they capture they very much want to keep from prying eyes. but the public we spoke to during the patrol on skid row say they approve of it and think it actually keeps police officers' activities certainly transparent and indeed that video may even serve the public should they need it. july? >> thank you so much. as we've been reporting, u.s. air strikes against isis could expand into another country, the obama administration is considering targeting syria. patrick dempsey says the militants sanctuary in syria will have to be dealt with at some point. joining me now is chuck nash,

our fox news military analyst. i want to start this. i wouldn't normally start with twitter, but an interesting question. just take out their command centers. does the u.s. right now have the ability to do that militarily and the intelligence to know where they are? >> we have the ability to do that militarily. do we have the intelligence to know where they are? if they even exist. that is something very different about this group. this group has maneuver war fair mastered to a tee. in that, they have dissoeted. they don't have a central command structure that issues commands and follows up and tracks people many the field. they say, okay, take that town over there, go do it. off they go and do stuff. they coordinate with runners, not so much electronicingally to be tracked and monitored. they are a maneuver warfare force on the ground operating in an unconventional manner with conventional tactics.

>> it's often been said that can't occupy ground from the air. so far the only thing we've really heard about is the concept of using air power, manned, manned drones. is there something that is going to require boots on the ground if you are really going to take isis out rather than just stop and wound them? >> absolutely positively. the boots are already on the ground and the people wearing those boots are kurds and iraqis. and oh, by the way, the thing that really is needed here is not just us going in and randomly hitting targets based on some tactic situation. what's needed here is an overall strategy that puts air power in context so it can be maximized in its support of those ground forces. this is totally a ground operation. it's a ground force that's going to have to destroy another ground force. supported with the proper use of air power. >> speaking of air power, somebody else wrote, we need to arm the kurd cans to get them more weapons. is the iraqi military showing

any more prowess after running away for so long after isis or is it still a solely by the kurds? >> they have shown some prowess. they were instrumental in taking the dam in mosul back. the kurd are the more fierce fighters. the iraqis are more about defending baghdad rather than taking back towns and villages. for that, they need the air power support were talking about earlier. the kurds be, the perish merger are a well disciplined, aggressive fighters but they need the tools of the trade, the heavy weapons. prior to this, all of those weapons have been sent through the central government in baghdad and they've been holding up transfer to the kurds. now we need to get the weapons directly to the kurdish forces. >> of course, the issue in iraq is not the only we're watching. there was something else put out by the gone i want your thoughts

on. this was pictures of a chinese fighter jet intercepting and performing a barrel roll over a u.s. navy plane in international waters of the just today, the the official chinese news agency released a story saying china urges u.s. to stop close in surveillance. can you look at each one of these crises as -- can we look at each one of these crises, ukraine, china, iraq in individual terms, or is there kind of a compounding issue here as these continue to go on? >> obviously they're uncoordinated, individual actions. however, they are all taking place with a common denominator, that is the perception worldwide that the united states is withdrawing, that we've reduced our support for traditional allies and we're restructuring and transforming. that has bred chaos. there's opportunity in chaos for those who wish to achieve it.

>> there certainly is a lot of chaos in this world. breaking it down for us, captain chuck nash, thanks, as always from washington. more on this to come. don't miss congressman mack thornberry, the vice chairman of the house armed services committee, he'll weigh in on our response to isis. maria bartiromo speak was him on "sunday morning futures" 10:00 a.m. eastern right here on the fox news channel. as the dust settles in ferguson, attention returned to a grand jury investigation in the police killing of unarmed teenager michael brown. what is at stake, moving forward? plus,s the search for survivors after devastating landslides in japan. >> translator: i'm hoping she might appear so i'm waiting for that. i come here every day to wait for her.

time for the top of the news on this it saturday. a police officer in southern california is in extremely critical condition after being wounded in a shootout. police say 31-year-old gabrielle garcia and his partner who had just been on the force for two months stopped to talk to a group of people who someone pulled a gun and opened fire. the rookie officer shot and killed the gunman. hope fading for finding survivors of landslides in japan that killed dozens near hiroshima. 46 people were killed in the slide and 41 remain missing. nearly 2,000 have been evacuated. just four teams left in the little league world series. the team from chicago that goes by jackie robinson west is aiming to become the first all-african-american team to win the world title. they face off against nevada at 3:00 p.m. eastern today. the national guard withdrawing from ferguson, missouri, as tensions subside

over the police killing of unarm teenager michael brown. now all eyes are on a grand jury that's expected to play a huge role in how the community moves forward. let's talk about it now with pat brozen, former yd detective a. since the august 9thed shooting there have been some 163 arrests, obviously turning the focus to the protests instead of where it needs to be, which is the investigation. so with focus now turning back to the investigation hopefully, the question that you believe is the one that is obviously most important is whether wilson killed brown legally. how do police determine that? >> that's 100% correct. the question has shifted from the effectiveness of militarization of police and incidences of shooting of unarmed blake males.

the way it will be determined is by a close examination of the missou miz state constitution and general order 400.00, which is the governing use of deadly physical force by that county. what it come down to is very straightforward. if a police officer reasonably believes that immediate use of deadly physical force is necessary to effect the arrest of an individual who would otherwise cause serious physical injury or danger to lives of other person. period. that's it. >> you say investigators also have to determine whether brown was unarmed or a dangerous fleeing felon. that is the debate. >> correct. >> at the center of this controversy. how are they going to do this? >> very straightforward. in the language of the general order in the constitution there's the word "reasonable." how is reasonable termed? it's interpreted by building blocks. the building blocks is the ferocity and viciousness of the

athanks, what happen inside the car that caused a round to be discharged, the gravity of the injuries to the officer's face and whether officer wilson knew about the strong arm robbery prior to his discharging the weapon. those building blocks, julie, when combined and assessed, will determine if brown was not an unarmed male but was transformed, at the transformation of that knowledge, into a dangerous, fleeing felon. that's the crux of this. >> let's also talk about what's being real revealed by the autopsies, one in particular the autopsy conducted by famed forensic pathology dr. michael baden who was brought in at the will of the family. michael baden found that brown was shot six times. i want to go through exactly what he found in the autopsy. four times in his right arm, twice in the head, including once in the right eye. baden says all the bullets struck teen from the front. one shot him in the top of the head, indicating perhaps he was bending forward, and all of the

shots were shot from a distance. so this information obviously sparks more questions. what does it tell you? >> well, a couple of things. first of all, the laws of physics apply tangentially to the trajectory the bullets. that's first. it's not that easy to pinpoint, even though i'm very respectful of baden and his report, exactly how those bullets were discharged and the order of the bullets is never known. the order of the bullets never established. but central to assessing value and importance of the bullet trajectories and entry points is what transpired inside the confines of that car where there were, by all accounts, no other human beings available at the time as eyewitnesss. there are alleged earwitnesses but no eyewitnesss to that vicious struggle where a round was discharged, the location it entered or where it went is unknown. that's something for the investigators to definitively establish as the investigation moves forward. but that critical.

again, it comes back to the reasonableness and what, most importantly -- again, this is missouri state constitution law -- is what officer wilson thought. not what necessarily was facthe factual. that establishes intent. that goes to the heart of the statute. >> in other words, possible self-defense. with wilson's injuries, could he argue that? >> 100%. again, it comes back to the building blocks. you've got the injuries, the attack, the struggle for the weapon, whether or not wilson knew that this was the perpetrator of a violent strong arm robbery is also central to his assessment of the reasonableness and how he arrived at being reasonably -- how his behavior would be reasonable in using deadly physical force against this now transformed dangerous fleeing felon. >> pat brosnan.

>> very, very critical. >> it is critical. hopefully we'll get more information now that the investigation will have more focus with all the arrests distracting investigators. thank you so much, pat. >> absolutely. officials in northern iraq say at least ten people are dead after a series of explosions tore through a residential neighborhood there. kurdish forces say dozens more were injured in the three blasts which were detonated near buildings used as a lookout point officials say many displaced iraqis live in that area in baghdad a u side bomber drove a car full of explosive noose the gate of the intelligence headquarters killing 11 people. and as we speak, hundreds of russian trucks are heading back to russia from ukraine. the convoy crossed the ukrainian border yesterday. they claim it was carrying food, water and generators into the embattled eastern part of the ukrai ukraine. the ukrainian government, though, along with western allies, denounced the move as a

violation of ukraine sovereignty. they also accused moscow of using the convoy as a trojan horse of sorts to smuggle supplies to pro-russian separatists in that region. summer is winding down. that means congress are going do be headed back to washington from vacation. but with just a few months until the crucial midterm elections, will they get anything done? seems like a reduntd ant question. we'll debate it coming up. and a midair mishap for spac spacex. we'll show you what happened just moments after the launch of a new test rocket. copd includes chronic bronchitis and emphysema. spiriva is a once-daily inhaled... ...copd maintenance treatment... ...that helps open my airways for a full 24 hours. you know, spiriva helps me breathe easier. spiriva handihaler tiotropium bromide inhalation powder does not replace rescue inhalers for

a new push to end the fighting in gaza. egypt is calling for an open-endopen-end ed seegs-fire and encouraging negotiations in cairo. this comes after a collapse of a temporary truce earlier this week in a conflict that has

killed more than 2,000 people. meantime, hamas signing a pledge that could lead to both sides being investigated for war crimes. rick leventhal is reporting live from gaza city with the latest. >> reporter: hamas is asking the leader mahmoud abbas to go to the international criminal court pursue war crimes against israel. but hamas could also be prosecuted for war crimes and further strain relationships between the palestinians and israelis and the u.s. and would be even tougher to come up with a peace accord. repeated violence, day after day, dozens of air strikes today from the israelis, 12 palestinians killed. one on a house that left 5 people dead including two women and two children. another house demolished by six missiles. roughly 5,000 air strikes in gaza over the past seven weeks.

but of course hamas continues to fire waves of rockets from gaza toward israel. nearly 4,000 total, dozens today, roughly 500 since the group broke the cease-fire tuesday afternoon, giving the iron dome missile defense system a real workout. we saw numerous interceptions today. hamas has fired mortars on southern israel. one killed a 4-year-old boy when shrapnel hit the boy in the head. yesterday hamas took dramatic action against spies, palestinians accused of collaborating with israel. hamas executed 18 of these alleged collaborators, seven of them in public in front of a large crowd outside of a mosque yesterday afternoon. so the cycle of deadly violence continues here tonight. julie? >> rick leventhal in gaza city, thank you very much. congress comes back from vacation to a full plate and then some.

from immigration reform to fixing the v.a., not to mention the budget and possibly another government shutdown that could come in october. then look at all of this with the midterm elections fast approaching. big question -- is congress likely to get anything done? angela mcglowan and ben wickler join us. i want to start with this. we'll go first to angela. is gridlock good for politics? does it serve both sides to run to their respective position and dig in or ahead of the midterms is it better to work together? >> you have to work together. gridlock is never good instead you're trying to satisfy liberals or conservatives are trying to satisfy tea partiers with the midterms they're going to have to work together or 0 we'll have a government shutdown because self-preservation is the first law of nature and all politics is local.

you're going to have members of congress up for reelection wanting to satisfy their local constituencies. >> ben, you agree with that? or does it serve the democrats better to try to dig in and force another kind of government shutdown like we saw in the past? >> you know, i think all of us would like congress to come become to washington and do the job we're actually paying them to do, to solve problems. but what we've seen from house republicans over and over is that their first priority is playing partisan politics and they have no second priority. >> oh, they don't? they don't have a second priority? and liberals have not played partisan politics. in washington, d.c., leland, we've seen a lot of partisan politics from both sides of the aisle, especially from harry reid and nancy pelosi. >> speaking of harry reid, in terms of the sflenate, in terwi senators getting ready for tight, contested elections, states like louisiana, arkansas, into alaska, south carolina, those places, is there a chance

that the senate majority leader is going to try to whip up some of his votes to actually do something, or do you think he'll continue the blocking mechanisms that the republicans call a do-nothing senate? >> i love the idea of the do-nothing senate. the senate has voted for comprehensive immigration reform, voted to increase the minimum wage, on issue after issue there's calls for government action on. the senate has actually passed bills. then they go to the house and die. what the republicans are passing is frivolous lawsuits, impeachment chatter, now this threat of another possible looming shutdown. i think that's a recipe not only gridlock but possibly political backlash from the people tired of the gapes and want something done. >> ang lashela, in terms of the the house is set up now, eric cantor is gone does the now leadership p have the ability to whip votes and control their blocs a little better, or are you going to see the kind of teay constituency hold things hostage still? >> the best time is when we had

newt gingrich and dick armey and president clinton in the white house when we passed the contract with america and president clint signed 70%. having said that, boehner is going to have to work with the house. he's going to have to work with the tea partiers, satisfy the democrats as well. he has a very hard job. but harry reid has a hard job because, again, you have north carolina as you said, south carolina, louisiana, alaska, colorado, there are a lot of states in play. and the majority leadership and the balance for the democrats, it's actually in question. >> ben, you agree things are in question, or do you think the democrats will be able to hold on depending on how things play out in congress over the next couple of months? >> there's no question this is a tossup the question is whether the most extreme wing of the republican party will be able to hold the entiere government hostage. >> wow, you're giving us a lot

of power well, we've seen what happened a year ago. the government shut down. moveon.org polled 61 districts and it found 41 where they wanted a democrat if the shutdown continued. >> we'll have to leave it there. october 1st government shutdown. november is the elections. voters give us the answers to all of these questions we've been talking about. ben and angela, thanks. a failed test flight for a new spacex rocket make quite a show in the sky over texas. take a look. a little late for the fourth of july. but, hey, not a bad sight in broad daylight. that's how bright the flames were. the unmanned rocket exploded shortly after launch friday at the spacex test site. the company was testing a new three-engine version of its
