this is the fox report. tonight another nation in the islamic world in chaos as the symbol of american power there now under militant control. i'm in no harris faulkner. an islamic militia now claims to be in full control of the u.s. diplomatic compound in trip poly. you may remember or embass was evacuated more than a month ago under heavy security. the state department temporarily pulling all american staff out of the country as a precaution under the security situation there improves. this, as new evidence that the situation there is anything but improving.

libya's u.s. supported parliament now forced to meet in the small city of tobrok, east of ben ghazi, as that parliament, by the way has repeatedly asked for international assistance, fearing they could lose control of the entire nation. here's where we were just three years ago when nato and u.s. forces helped the libyan people overthrow gadhafi. several countries, including the u.s., enforced a no-fly zone. the u.s. navy also carried out cruise missile strikes against military targets. the entire practices lasted seven months, and cost american taxpayers just over $1 billion. conner powell live in our news newswhat can you tell us? >> this was not the u.s. embassy

in tripoli, and when u.s. personnel left the capital just about a month or so ago, this compound, like all u.s. facility was supposed to be protected by a local guard force. now it's a local militia there by the name of the dawn of lippia militia, that now is in control of this facility. a commander for the group told the associated press today that the islamic group took control of the facility about a week or so ago from another militia. they posted a video. now the us ambassador, debra jones, who is not in country right now, said on twitter, the militant appear tore safeguarding not ransacking the compound. they appeared tore pro-american and reportedly has even cleaned up the facility and well calmed back personnel to the facility at any time. >> what does it say about u.s.

intelligence? libya? >> well, heather it tells that u.s. intelligence really isn't that great even after the benghazi attacks. it was just a few days ago that egypt and the uae launched air strikes into libya. the u.s. didn't know about that, and now both 9 pentagon and state department are saying they didn't know this compound was no longer in the hands of the local guard force, but instead the hands of a local militia. so it tells you there's still a lot of problems in terms of what the u.s. has eyes and ears on in libya. >> which seemed to be the problem before. conor powell, thank you. as we learn of more air strikes, more air drops and more allies joining the mission. aircraft from the u.s., australia, great deal britain and france all drops assist tan

to residence of amirli. it had beenening siege for two whonts. surrounded by these isis terrorists. people there struggling without enough food, water or electricity, that siege now reportedly broken as iraqi security forces have now driven back the militants with the help of several u.s. air strikes. jennifer griffin has the latest from washington. jennifer? >> heather, u.s. military officials would not confirm claims that claims that they have retaken intoic the town. pentagon forces say expect more air strikes throughout the day. u.s. war planes conducted three air strins near amirli, to allow iraq's army to take the town besieged by isis. transport planes dropped humanitarian relief to the shia turkmen who had been trapped and bee sieged for two months. the town is 100 miles north of

baghdad. british, french and australian aircraft helped with the humanitarian airlift as iraqi forces evacuated some of the nearly 15,000 residents there. the republican head of the power of house intelligence committee pushed back on the idea that the president's national security team has not presented the president with options. he was interviewed by chris wallace today on "fox news sunday." >> the clock didn't start with the beheading of the american journalists. that was just a symptom of what was a long and growing problem for the united states. it's just very, very late in the game, and it presents fewer options. >> u.s. surveyian drones began flying for the first time this week, gathering intelligence and mapping possible isis targets in syria. until now the president had not authorized unmanned drones over syria. heather? >> thank you, jennifer griffin reporting for us. russian president putin raising the stakes with a political proposal to end the crisis in ukraine, the sovereign country he is accused of

invading. putin pushing for talks to begin immediately on possible statehood for separatist areas in the east and south. putin has called for discussions before, but now he is seeking full independence for an area that he is referring to, quote, as new russia. meanwhile, ukraine and russia swapping soldiers, each side claims to have captured within that are border. accounts of how the men ended up in enemy territory, very widely, but the exchange is a rare move to ease tensions in ukraine. dominic diin a tale, is putin declares eastern ukraine as part of russia? >> you know, there are voices in washington and over in europe that say that's exactly what he's doing. that prisoner swap was designed to reduce some tensions, but the truth of the matter is the more aggressive language from putin is indicating that perhaps he's 4thing in one direction. the phrase new russia goes back

to the 18th century when the area of ukraine was first settled by russians, but you know what? despite this prisoner swap, an interview he went out today that was broadcast in russia. he used much more threatening language. >> translator: everything is so interconnected that those in the west or other countries who plan something, they should think one step ahead about the consequences of their actions. >> another phrase he used was the unconditional security of the region. that very ominous in words. >> nato holds its summit this week. will it announce it is arming ukraine? >> well, you know what? that's certainly the call we're getting from washington here, and also the europeans very much want to see that happen. norm ate the europeans will do that on an individual state basis, but considering what's been happening there, there is a sense of momentum behind getting weapons to the army.

we've seen it happen to the police, but not the army as of yesterday. we think that's probably what will come out of the meeting that takes place on thursday and friday, but certainly in the united states senate, we are hearing there is now an act or a will for more intervention listen to what the senate had to say. >> the european union, nato as well as the united states has to consider this is dramatically different, and we have to give the ukrainance the fighting chance to definite themselves. i'm not suggesting troops, but i am suggests that they have the wherewithal to fight for themselves. >> the united states will certainly end up contributing, the united states accounts for three fourths of mill their spending. it really ends up footing the bill for this, heather. >> dominic live for us with the latest. thank you. well, turning now to 40 united nations peacekeepers who

now prominent members of the president's own party are knocking him for being indecisive with isis. >> i've learned one thing about this president. that is he's very carb, maybe in this instance too cautious. >> dutch rupersburger defended the senate saying the u.s. connect can't be the sheriff for the whole world. >> how did the white house respond to the criticism? have they at all? >> the president's team thinks they have time with the senior adviser telling "the washington post," quote, there's no timetable that's following the problem -- we would much rather do this right than do it quickly. we tried the opposite during the bush years and it worked out very poorly. there are now some republicans complaining that isis is moving quickly, so they think the u.s. needs to move quickly as well.

>> they are the thatted a years ago, and they can't put it together form the longer we way, the more dangerous isis beings. >> congressman king says he also wishes president obama would show the same leadership as david cameron who raised the terror threat level to severe this week. >> peter, bringing us the latest, thank you. president obama facing mounting pressure as you saw from bowles sides of the aisle to act quickly on the ongoing crisis in syria over isis. critics say it leaves the u.s. vulnerable to terrorist attacks here. he's the former pollster for and doug schoen, and john leboutillier is a former congressman for new york. thank you all for joins us.

doug, we're going to start with you. how do you feel about the president's lack of any type of strategy. o. at least saying there's no strategy? . >> well, health th heather, there is no strategy. what senator mccain and feinstein made clear today, we smu act, because the world order is at risk. isis is setting up what they call a caliphate. russia has invaded ukraine. and we are doing nothing, and what dan pfeiffer said is the worst form of politics. he's attacking george bush, got knows why, and the administration is saying we have no timetable. heather, this is bad government, it's bat policy and certainly bat politics.

>> doug, he said that -- the white house spokesperson, they're not going to work to the cable news, so in essence blaming us. >> we have a press conference to announce we don't have a strategy. why be out there until you have the plan and are ready to start selling it. the answer is they don't have a plan, which we're going to talk about tonight. he won't admit it's an invasion. before the election, another day, no, not going to do it until after the election. so this thing is at the worst time in the world, this president in his administration are falling apart. >> john, you're not the only one that seems to notice that. this was the latest pugh research poll, and "usa today" and it found when you look across the board, 54% of people

say that president obama is not tough enough. and coming at a time that all of the things are happen that you just mentioned. pat, it doesn't seen the president is even trying. on the view of those same that is reversed in a couple years and has become negative. that matches what the administration i think has set out to do. when you have dan pfeiffer, who is a political hack, who has a low-grade one at that, out there discussing make all of this a political issue, and a couple over things about it, you know, we have a mind-set, in the ukraine the president says it's clearly an invasion, no, no,

it's the continuation of an incursion, this is the same administration thatside the massacre. ft. hood that that what a workplace violence. on the other hand they're very fast and quick to move when it has to do with ferguson, things that stir up the base. the president does the same thing when he does bergdahl, when we had that disaster, which has been found illegal by the jal, but when it's important, he's going to the fund-raiser the next morning. he's unengaging 89. i spend a lot of time with pat and doug, and i've country as to see, while we the audience tonight and the four and five of us are talking about the world.

in obama's head, november 4th, the control of the u.s. senate, that's what they're fog focused on. >> so his policies tend to be more reactionary than taking action. >> no, no, what they are is he downgrades things that will rile up the american public, like if we were to go in aggressively and go after isis those will be gone if we're bat at are at war. bill clinton said we to do what

is right it was all done based on his vision of what was right, reasonable and responsible. i think we'll talk about it later, i believe that because obama and his team are so narrow and short-sighted that it's bad government, bad policy, and ultimately, as i said before, bad politics. i think the democrats are heading to a big defeat in november. >> but pat, do you think the president really listens to any advice that he is given? it seems like someone would be advising him to not come out and say the things he does. that is a gallup poll. 39% strongly disproved. what is that, doubling those who strongly approve? >> it's the highest it's been.

it's been rising steadily form the intensity, sin wes know job rating is important, this is not helpful. do have to say that i believe the republicans and the others -- this country, there's so many crises going on, whether it's in libya, which we'll get to, i hope, where we abandoned iran, israel, ukraine. this whack amole, and i believe there are people who are influencing i think his lack of experience and his arrogance, along with people who have no big, as doug said, being in the white house when you put the

country first. this president could cally the country, but he won't do it, because he has hi own set of priorities, and they're not in america's best interests, in my opinion. >> john, what is his priority? >> that's what i said, number one is winning or keeping cross of the u.s. senate. imagine -- next -- the next two years will be terrible. there will be investigations, all sorts of stuff to hurt him and the democrats leading boo 2016. he doesn't want that. that's what he's up to, he's focusing on that instead. we haven't really yet, the three of us, gotten into the fact that the republicans are equally inept. they haven't come up with an alternative foreign policy. what they do is lurch, heather from either being too aggressive militarily or two isolationist,

when america is right in the middle of it. we want to be strong, nots overly bullying, but we don't want to be witching, either. >> can you be too strong when it comes to a group like isis? how do you hedge your bets. >> you lead these cunning, all of who many in the middle east and in europe have an interest in stop isis. as doug will point out, the saudi king yesterday said they'll be in europe in a month, in america in two months. that's a hell of a warning, coming from him. we should heed that warning and rally nato, the european union, the arak leak, with the president of the united states being the only leader that can rally everybody to get a plan and have them fight on the ground, we'll do the air support, the saudis and many rats can pay for it and go crush

these pa-- before they come ove here. >> we actually have some sound from fox news sunday. this is mike rogers, if we could pull this up. here's what he had to say about that very issue. >> i think it emptily fills that his forepolicy is in an absolute free fall. you look at iran, north korea, we have a serious host of problems prnding itself and our traditional allies is standing up saying maybe american is not the best one to lead us through these trouble. >> john, your responsible to that? >> well, we have seen in the last week three instances where our allies have blown us off.

the palestinian authority wants to have talks with israel and cut the united states out, and angela merkel, chancellor of germany said america is no longer able to get involved and solve these problems. this is the diminution of american influence by obama. i think maybe he likes it. >> pad, what do you think? ivities i think it's the of the view with -- i think first of all he's very cautious, which can be very good. although the overcaution, you know, what happened waiting a month for trying to rescue foley, that failed, the u.s. leaks it again they played politics. i think the problem is in a vacuum worldwide, it terrifies me never in my lifetime have i seen a situation where the united states has just up and left the field for the most part. they'll sea, yes, we did this, when they're forced, everybody

is forced, this is a man who said in january. that this is the junior varsity. this is a president who says we have no strategy, and they've known this was coming a long time. it is his lack of will. i believe he has a view of the united states and the world that would frighten the american people this he really expressed it. >> doug, we'll get to you after the break. coming up president obama reportedly considering delaying immigration reform. we mentioned that. the fox news political insiders are coming right back. like dien negatively impact good bacteria? even if you're healthy and active. phillips digestive health support is a duo-probiotic that helps supplement good bacteria found in two parts of your digestive tract. i'm doubly impressed! phillips' digestive health. a daily probiotic. when you're away from home.ome, 12 brands. more hotels than anyone else in the world.

journal." president obama had said, of course, that he would act alone by summer's end when house republicans failed to pass an immigration overall back in june. so why the change? our political insiders are back. and doug, i promised to start with you on this one. why do you think the change? because of midterm elections? >> it's all politics, heather. there is a very, very simple calculus here. democrats at risk in red states, kay hagen in north carolina, mary landrieu in louisiana, among others, are afraid, rightfully so, that if the president does a unilateral granting of amnesty. illeap imgarages that it could cost the democrats and control of the because he was, until

really the end of the week, planning to provoke a confrontation within the republicans over immigration, hoping that it would lead either to the republicans trying to defund the government, shut the government down, or provoke a confrontation that would bring out the base, black and latino voters. now that strategy is entirely out the window. the president has no clear plan from what we heard, to just attack the republicans. >> and he was literally walking out when a reporter yelled something about the immigration, and then he commented on it. >> oh, yeah. thursday he couldn't wait to get into this, because that was the time they were in their strategy of let's set a trap for the republicans. as dumb ago the republicans are, apparently they didn't want to fall into it again.

now they have changed, but look, this is a president who that demonstration thursday was just like the people he's promised these latinos, the unioning, the immigration groups he would do it. now he's backing off. what we don't have a policy of conscience or consistent view. what we have a political herky je jerky how will this benefit republicans? do you think they will use it in the best way? >> the republicans already have things going for them, but they're not there yet. they're very competitive in all three races. if the election were held today, i believe the republicans would take over the senate, but the election isn't. still eight weeks ago, and things can still happen. what's lacking is where is the republican alternative to all of

obama's stuff? where is our health care plan? where is our jobs and pro-growth economic plan? where are the things that we want to do, heather, when we win the senate and keep the house? you have to put them out there, have the voters say yes, we're voting for you, so when you one the election of the mandate. they won't bring out any positive stuff. instead of running again something -- you with do both. the built-in antiobama is already there. let's start to again sell the republican party in a positive way. we've gotten away from that. >> doug, how do they do that? what's the first thing they do need to do? is immigration the number one issue they need to tackle first? >> i don't think so. i think something john said, which is the economy, job creation, the whole notion that

america is stagnated, wages are froch, people feel as if we're still in a recession. we have not gotten any clear sense from the republican party that they have an alternative vision, and i think it's important as a fair and balanced political insider group that we make clear to our audience that the republican party enjoys some of the worst ratings they have ever had, and it's actually higher than the democrats, which is why they're so very right about an alternative vision being so next. the numbers this time in 2010, the average and generic both, real clear politics of seven points. the problem with the perhaps are
