tv   Outnumbered  FOX News  September 17, 2014 9:00am-10:01am PDT

9:00 am
at the u.s. postal service, our priority is...was... and always will be...you. >> we'll see you back here in an hour. >> "outnumbered" starts right now. >> this is the fox news alert from u.s. central command. president obama set to speak about the isis threat and his strategy to take them out. we'll take the president's remarks live when it happens. this is "outnumbered." we welcome back today's hashtag one lucky guy, fox business network and we remind charles he's outnumbered. welcome back. >> thank you very much. outnumbered in the best kind of way. yes. i'm excited to be back. >> another big news day right now. we'll hear the president. we're anticipating he's going to talk about isis, not supposed to take any questions but we'll see.
9:01 am
>> we will see and, you know, it's -- it feels like the president is trying to convince himself of something, right? press conference after press conference, strategy after strategy, i think they pay so much attention to the polls, we talk about leading from behind all the time. when these polls made a dramatic shift, the american public saying we shrink isis wherever they are, all of a sudden it's like this is priority number one but no one has the confidence that the white house is going to pull it up. >> yep. as we mentioned we're waiting for the president's remarks on his isis strategy after his tour of u.s. central command. the house is expected to vote on the white house's request to train and arm syrian rebels to act as ground troops against the terrorists. they're expected to approve the president's plan in spite of tepid support and you're mentioning the money aspect for all of this. he's asking congress for $500 million and i think he's getting pushed back not just from republicans but members of his own party. >> i don't think anyone can stop
9:02 am
thinking about the first interaction between the large isis force and the iraqi security force that were left behind. we spent $25 billion. we said we were leaving responsibly because they had 900,000 security force. we spent all this money and the first sign of violence, these guys took off the uniforms, ran away and now all of a sudden, $500 million to rebels who say we don't want the training. >> i actually agreed with president obama a couple of weeks ago when he didn't want to arm the rebels and as charles points out, it sounds like the president is convincing himself of this plan. >> no. and again, it's a big shift in his decision making and his view points. i think it's a horrible idea. i don't trust the vetting process and i also don't trust the supposed moderates are on our side. they're aligned against asad and not isis as we are. >> and weapons in potential hands of enemies. >> the question isn't about the money, not about the equipment,
9:03 am
whether these guys have the heart to fight for t. we're going to train 5,000 militants from syria, the same guys we said we weren't going to train or give weapons to inside saudi arabia. and here is the president. >> hello, macdill! i want to thank general austin for his introduction, lloyd for your exceptional leadership where you're about to step off the stage. go ahead. >> i was, sir. >> it's better when lloyd is not standing next to me because i don't look small. general austin has done such extraordinary work, both commanding our forces in iraq today as the commander of centcom. i want to thank somebody else for his own lifetime of service to america, first as a soldier who fought in vietnam and now secretary of defense, chuck hagel. give it up for chuck. [applause]
9:04 am
chuck was here a few weeks ago to welcome the new head of special operations command, general joe votel. give joe a big round of applause. [applause] for those of you who don't know, 13 years ago, joe led his team of army rangers as they jumped into afghanistan to establish our first base there. by jumping out of the plane alongside them. joe is a tough guy and he knows what he's doing and i can't think of somebody who is more qualified to head up our special forces so we want to thank joe for accepting this assignment. you'll remember congress, cathy castor is here. give cathy a big round of a mrauz. there she is right there. [applause]
9:05 am
your wing commander, colonel dan sully, your senior enlisted leaders command sergeant major chris grecka, command sergeant major chris farris, chief master sergeant matt lusahn. and most of all, i want to salute all the spouses and military families on base because let's be honest. they're the force behind the force. [applause] i spent time with some of them last night and it's clear why our military is the finest fighting force in the history of the world and it's because our military families are serving right along side you. i know we've got some air force in the house.
9:06 am
it's great to be at the home of the sixth air mobility wing. 927, their refuelling wing, centcom, we've got some army here, navy, marines. coast guard? we love our coast guard. now, i'm not here to give a long speech. what i really wanted to do was come down and just shake some hands. i just received a brefing from general austin and met with your commanders, met with representatives from more than 40 nations. it is a true team effort here at macdill and i came here to say
9:07 am
the same thing that i've been saying to troops on bases across this country, around the world and a few months ago in bagram and that is thank you. on behalf of the american people, i want to thank all of you for your service. i want to thank all of you for your sacrifice, i want to thank you for your commitment to each other and your commitment to our country. as your commander in chief, i could not be more proud of each and every one of you. for nearly 75 years, the men and women of macdill have lived a commitment to airmen, mission and community. you've supported our troops through each generation of challenges. and as home to both central command and special operations command, you have shouldered some of the heaviest responsibilities in dealing with the challenges of this new century. for more than a decade, ever since that awful september morning 13 years ago, every
9:08 am
since joe and his rangers took that jump a month later, you and all of our men and women in uniform have borne the burden of war. some of you are quiet professionals, our special forces were among the first to go. when the decision was made to go into iraq, you were there. when we refocused the fight back to afghanistan, you were there. you have served with skill and honor and commitment and professionalism. and some of you carried the wounds of these wars. i know some of you lost friends. we remember all who have given their lives in these wars and we stand with their families who have given more than most americans can ever imagine and we honor those sacrifices forever. but here is what i want every single one of you to know. because of you, this 9/11 generation of heros has done
9:09 am
everything asked of you and met every mission tasked to you. we are doing what we set out to do. because of you, osama bin laden is no more. because of you, the core al qaeda leadership in afghanistan and pakistan has been decimated. because of you, afghans are reclaiming their communities. afghan forces have taken the lead for their country's security. in three months because of you, our combat mission will be over in afghanistan and our war in afghanistan will come to a responsible end. that's because of you. you and our counterterrorism professionals have prevented terrorist attacks. you've saved american lives, you've made our homeland more secure. but we've also known that the end of the war in afghanistan didn't mean the end of threats or challenges to america. here at macdill, you knew this and have known this as well as
9:10 am
anybody. you play the central role in our combat and counterterrorism operations. you make sure our troops and piles get what they need in order to get the job done. you train forces around the world so countries can take responsibility for their own security. the sixth air mobility wing is continuously deployed, supporting our humanitarian and combat operations around the world. ready to defend. your work is as vital as ever because in an uncertain world, full of breath taking change, the one constant is american leadership. in a world where technology provides a small group of killers with the ability to do terrible harm, it is america that has the capacity and the will to mobilize the world
9:11 am
against terrorists, including the grup in syria and iraq known as isis. our intelligence community, as i said last week, has not yet detected specific plots from the terrorists against america but its leaders have repeatedly threatened america and our allies and right now, these terrorists pose a threat to the people of iraq, the people of syria, the broader middle east, including our personnel, our embassies, our consulates, our facilities there. and if left unchecked, they could pose a growing threat to the united states. so last month, i gave the order for our military to begin taking targeted action against isis. and since then, our brave pilot and crews, with your help, have conducted more than 160 air strikes against these terrorists. because of your efforts, we've been able to protect our personnel and our facilities and kill isil fighters and given space for iraqi and kurdish
9:12 am
forces to reclaim key territory. they've helped our partners on the ground break isil sieges, helped rilians cornered on a mountain, helped save the lives of thousands of innocent men, women and children. that's what you've done. now, going forward as i announced last week, we're going to degrade and ultimately destroy isil through a comprehensive and sustained counterterrorism strategy and whether in iraq or in syria, these terrorists will learn the same thing that the leaders of al qaeda already know. we mean what we say. our reach is long. if you threaten america, you will find no safe haven. we will find you eventually.
9:13 am
this is not and will not be america's fight alone. one of the things we've learned the last decade is america can make a decisive difference but i want to be clear, the american forces that have been deployed to iraq do not and will not have a combat mission. they will support iraqi forces on the ground as they fight for their own country against these terrorists. as your commander in chief, i will not commit you and the rest of our armed forces to fighting another ground war in iraq. after a decade of massive ground deploymen deployments, it is more effective to use our unique capabilities in support of partners on the ground so they can secure their own country's futures and that's the only solution that will succeed over
9:14 am
the long term. we'll use our air power. we will train and equip our partners. we will advise them and we will assist them. we will lead a broad coalition of countries who have a stake in this fight because this is not simply america versus isil. this is the people, the region fighting isil. it is the world rejecting the brutality of isil for the better future of our children and our children's children, all of them. but we're not going to do this alone. and the one thing we have learned is that when we do things alone and the countries, the people of those countries aren't doing it for themselves, as soon as we leave, we start getting the same problems so we have to do things different. this is why we've spent the past several weeks building a coalition to aid in these efforts. and because we're leading in the right way, more nations are
9:15 am
joining us. overall, more than 40 countries so far have offered assistance to the broad campaign against isil. some nations will assist from the air and already france and the united kingdom are flying with us over iraq with others committed to join this effort. these terrorists on the ground. and already saudi arabia has agreed to host our efforts to train and equip syrian opposition forces. australia, canada, will send military advisors to iraq. german paratroopers will offer training. other nations helped resupply arms to forces in iraq including the kurdish peshmerga. arab nations pledged to increase to iraq's new government and increase aspects to the fight against isis and our partners will cut off isil funding and
9:16 am
father intelligence and stem flow of foreign fighters into and out of the middle east. 30 nations helped us with humanitarian relief to help innocent civilians driven from their home, whether sunni, shia, christian, yazidi, or any other religious minority. yesterday at the white house i met with an outstanding american leader, retired marine general, john allen. he worked with iraqi tribal leaders as they fought to reclaim their own communities from terrorists and he will serve as america's special envoy to build and coordinate this incredible coalition and i have called on congress to make sure you've got all the authorities and resources you need to get the job done. but the point is we can not do for the iraqis what they must do for themselves. we can't take the place of arab partners in securing their own region and a better future for their own people. we can't do it for them but, this is an effort that calls onn
9:17 am
america's unique abilities and responsibilities to lead. in a world that is more crowded and more connected, it is america that has the unique capability to mobilize against an organization like isis. in a world full of broader social challenges, it is america that has the unique capability and know how to contain and combat a threat like ebola. the epidemic in africa. and yesterday on top of what we're already doing to help i announced a major boost to our response. we're establishing a military command center in liberia at the request of their government to support civilian efforts across the region. major general darrell williams, commander of our forces in africa arrived yesterday. he is already on the ground. and our armed forces will bring
9:18 am
unique unrivaled eggs expert tee in command and control and logistics and engineering and creating a air bridge to get health supplies into the west africa faster. of course all the efforts to safeguard our personnel will remain the top priority. in nation of liberia heard the news was reported to saying we have been praying to get the disease wiped out of our country, so the coming of u.s. troops will get that done we will be happy. and that is the story. across the board. if there is a hurricane, if there is a typhoon. if there is some sort of a crisis, if there is an earthquake, if there's a need for rescue mission, when the world is threatened, when the world needs help, it calls on america. even the countries that complain about america, when they need help, who do they call?
9:19 am
they call us. and then america calls on you. to all the servicemen and women here and around the world, we ask a lot of you. and any mission involves risk. and any mission separates you from your families. and sending our servicemembers into harm's way is not a decision i ever take lightly. it is the hardest decision i make as president. nothing else comes close. i do it only when i know the mission is vital to the security of this country that we love. i do it only because i know that you're the best there is at what you do and frankly there just aren't a lot of other folks who can form in the same ways. in fact, there are none and there are some things only we can do.
9:20 am
there is on capabilities only we have. that's because of you. your dedication, your skill, your work, your family supporting you, your training, your command structure. our armed forces are unparalleled and unique. so when we got a big problem somewhere around the world, it falls on our shoulders and sometimes that's tough. but that's what sets us apart. that's why we're america. that's what the "stars and stripes" are all about. and between war and recession, this has been challenging start to this new century. we've been busy. this is not been an easy 14 years. and many of you came of age in these years. but i want you to know as i stand here with you today i'm as
9:21 am
confident as i have ever been that this century, just like the last century, will be led by america. it will be an is and american century. at home we're bouncing back, better positioning ourselves to win the future than any nation on earth. overseas we're moving forward answering the call to lead. and even when it seems like our politics is just dividing us, i want you to remember when it comes to supporting you and your families the american people stand united. we support you. we are proud of you. we are in awe of your will and your service. only one% of americans may -- 1% the americans may wear the uniform and shoulder the weight of special responsiblities that you do. but 100% of americans need to support you and your families,
9:22 am
100%. this is a moment of american leadership and thanks to you it's a moment we're going to meet and i will keep standing up for your interests and for our security and for the human rights and dignity of people wherever they live and we're going to keep on working with our allies and partners to take out the tariffs who threaten us wherever they hide because in stark contrast to those who only know how to kill and maim and tear down, we keep on building up and offering a future of progress and hope and like the generations before us, we're willing to defend this country we love. we're willing to help others on this planet that we share. we're protected by patriots like you and for all those reasons the united states of america will remain the greatest force for freedom that the world has ever known. thank you very much, everybody. i'm proud of you. god bless you. god bless the united states of america. [applause] >> that was president obama making his case to the country to combat isis and very
9:23 am
rightfully heaping a lot of praise on our military for what he sees as a lot of success to date saying quote, the world has called on america's unique ability to lead and also calling this an american century. so, sandra, i want to go to you first. i thought this was a very different tone from president obama to date. he didn't give a lot of details or specifics but heap ad lot of praise to our military. what did you think? >> rightly some the military appeared behind him. we did hear them cheering a lot of the president's comments. there was a strong show of support there and the president really putting on an air of confidence about his strategy and plan. one thing i found very interesting, charles, he said our partners will help to cut off isis funding and a lot of the criticism has been that the actions that president obama has put on the table have not specifically targeted that funding that is so important to isis, that empowered them, the
9:24 am
accumulation of oil fields, the taxes, the ransom that have continue to empower this terrorist group. no specific mention but he did put that into the speech. >> he did, but what bothered me right out of the gate, guys, this was the debate over the weekend, the administration finally came around calling it a war. he called it counterterrorism -- >> he will not use that term. >> troops will be respectful to the commander-in-chief. do you send men and woman in harm's way without a clear-cut strategy in either we're at war with these people and we'll crush them or this is counterterrorism program in new york city, we'll stay there years for years picking out goose guys and bad guys without offending anyone. i was disappointed with it. >> i was listening for the no boots on the ground. he didn't use those word, kennedy. basically said the no boots on the ground. telling our enemies said what we won't do. >> said specifically no ground war. someone needs to tell general
9:25 am
dempsey on that because he had a very different take if this tepid coalition. this coalition is lukewarm bath water. germans will trip and arabs support iraqi army? is that saying something strong about this supposed alliance? >> harris, he talked about the iraqi army putting a lot of responsibility on this army but we have a story at foxnews.com. a top general says half the iraqi army is, quote, incapable of working with the united states against isis. >> i think half is generous from everything that i'm reading. he said u.s. forces or american forces do not and will not have a combat mission. is this a mistake about it this administration, by this president again to tell the enemy what you will not do, considering the fact what we're learning today from the people, the peshmerga ba, the biggest fighting force we have over there who we would fight by proxy in northern iraq. you know they're not quite so certain what they'll do, how they will participate.
9:26 am
what will their dog in the fight be? they got the territory that they wanted to secure northern iraq. they don't need to go to baghdad. they might do that for us. they don't need that. they will see if the new government includes then. then you got the guys if syria, transport them, 5,000 out of syria to saudi arabia to train them? howard dean, former dnc chair, says he has doubts whether you the saudis. up until months ago they were paying money to isis. >> can't trust the saudis or moderates and kurd know that. we have so little business getting into this messy political battle. besides military. >> not a lost friend over there. today we may get answers to the many questions still surrounding the terror attacks in benghazi that killed four americans. a house select committee holding its first public hearing what went wrong and how to prevent future attacks. nfl's biggest nightmare far from over as the vikings reverse
