1:35 pm
strikes focused on islamic state positions in northern syria highlighted here, near the turkish border, and damage destroyed armed vehicles, an air field and isis training camp. some military analysts say the coalition can't stop there. >> when you look at the strikes, we need to have intelligence and boots on the ground. while the air strikes are an effective way to put them back on their heels, if you will, without the other two, we really won't be truly effective. >> president obama has promised not to send u.s. combat troops into iraq or syria and the country is working with the u.s. to conduct those air strikes in syria today include saudi arabia, jordan, and the united

1:39 pm
a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. i was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging, could i come up with something better. my doctor told me about eliquis... for three important reasons. one, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. and three, unlike warfarin, there's no routine blood testing. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. those three important reasons are why eliquis
1:40 pm
is a better find for me. ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. the biggest risk of all... not taking one. the new 6.4-liter hemi v8 ram power wagon. the most capable off-road truck there is. it lets you pick a fight... with the impossible. red lobster's endless shrimp is now! the year's largest variety of shrimp flavors! like new wood-grilled sriracha shrimp or parmesan crusted shrimp scampi... as much as you like, any way you like! hurry in and sea food differently.

1:43 pm
against isis is occurring a day after parliament approved air strikes in that country. but not in syria. so why are britain and other european allies refusing to go into syria, a safe haven for the terrorists. tom, good to see you. >> good to see you, also. >> as it stands now, i want to ask you, is the u.s. strategy for war against isis a winning one? and before you answer, how tricky is it to formulate a strategy when there's such an entanglement of the enemy? >> that's a very good question. the problem is that the strategy doesn't involve any specific -- in specific terms, it doesn't involve any combat on the ground, u.s. personnel or personnel that can all in air strikes on islamic state
1:44 pm
positions. until you have those individuals i am bedded with iraqi units, whether special forces or, for example, the kurdish peshmerga or the sunni arab tribes, don't have the ground forces to push them back. so all you have is the air campaigns to degrade them. because of the different groups, khorasan is part of an al qaeda syndicate, the al qaeda state, we're still seeing the strategy that is, at best, halfway. and when you're waging a military strategy, it must be comprehensive and it must be pertinent to a final victory. >> so tom, first of all, it's confusing to know -- we know that the victory should be to get rid of isis but as you say, it keeps multiplying. you believe, tom, that the eu is reluctant to get on board with the coalition in full force. why is that, do you think? >> i think it's two real reasons.
1:45 pm
firstly, the european union knows that the united states will carry the weight of international security. they prefer to spend their money on social welfare and the u.s. subsidizes out. the proof of that is encapsulated by nato where the united states spent about 4% of the gdp and the eu, less than 2%. secondly, there's a belief in europe that by using the international law and you can't go into syria unless assad is involved, unless assad approves it, it's illegal. so they played both of these sides. quite frankly, what it comes down to is the fact that they know the united states will carry the weight and for them it's easy to say, well, no, we'll just do a little bit. even cameron is only sending a few fighters. so do you agree that indigenous military, the local fighters, they are the key to this war against isis but strongly
1:46 pm
believe that it can't be won without american ground forces? i think you mentioned that earlier. did you? >> yes. i think there's a political reality where it would be impossible to send hundreds of american forces. if you were willing to arm the troops in anbar and raqqa and put that alongside the air strike controllers on the ground, special forces personnel, specifically trained for that role, then you could have the impact of essentially a ground force. but we haven't seen nearly enough in terms of arming and mobilizing the sunni arab tribes or alongside iraqi kurdish forces and utilizing coalition resources in terms of putting people on the ground. and the problem, quite frankly, is that canada and australia have given suggestions that they would be willing to put forces on the ground but president obama is doubling down on this notion of no boots on the ground
1:47 pm
and that is corrupting in a way the strategy. >> and then there is this, as i like to look at the metamorphis, this monster happening quickly saying that it could take a year, possibly more to resuscitate the iraqi army, the same timeline to train syrian rebels whoever they might really be. how does the u.s. act quickly enough, tom, and proceed without being responsible or without being strategic? >> well, here's the issue. at the moment, the sunni tribes are being dominated and mas massacred by the islamic state. in the interim, what you need to do is have presence on the ground. the army special forces group are specifically trained to training indigenous forces. >> there are forces on the ground training, military
1:48 pm
personnel helping with humanitarian aid. but you're talking about to go -- to be involved in man-to-man combat? is that what you're talking about? >> yes. if you have to mobilize people on the ground very quickly and ultimately at the moment they are being killed because they don't have the kind of resources that we could provide, whether through the central intelligence agencies, green berets, and they could fight -- >> you've got me confused. i'm trying to understand, you want to see u.s. ground troops there fighting or are you okay that it's enough to have them there providing intelligence, assistance, providing training and humanitarian efforts? what are you saying? >> i'm saying that you want u.s. special forces on the ground with coalition forces providing air attack capability and training but at the same time, providing arms, distinct from that as necessary. we're not going to have special forces everywhere. but all of these things can be
1:49 pm
used. it's a crisis situation. this idea that you look for a pure textbook military answer i don't think works. the urgency is there so you need to do what you can do and do it as quickly as you can do it. >> for sure, it's not a pure textbook war. no doubt about it. tom, thank you so much and sorry we have little time but we'll talk to you again soon. thanks, tom. >> thank you. horrifying details unfolding on the workplace murder in oklahoma. more fear as the u.s. fights a new mission against terrorists overseas. cold. i took nyquil but i'm still stuffed up. nyquil cold and flu liquid gels don't unstuff your nose. really? alka-seltzer plus night rushes relief to eight symptoms of a full blown cold including your stuffy nose. (breath of relief) oh, what a relief it is. thanks. anytime.

1:53 pm
workplace murder in oklahoma which is raising more fears over terrorism here at home. joins me k.t. mcfarland, former deputy assistant secretary of defense in the reagan administration. k.t., good to see you. i want to ask you how much is this resounding with homeland security? and has this guy, alton nolen, been on homeland security's radar? >> well, here's the problem. we're talking about fighting them over there, which is in the middle east. but we have in fact a bigger and very different problem here at home. and that's this lone wolf terrorist which is what the man in oklahoma is. you don't want to prejudge whatever the situation is. you don't want to call him one thing. but let law enforcement take its path. but it does point out that we have an issue here with homegrown lone wolf terrorists. we've gotten very good in the last decade at finding big terrorist plots. we've been able to track a lot of money moving. we've been able to track operations that have a lot of people in them.
1:54 pm
we've been able to prevent people, large numbers of people, from of coming over there to here. what we don't have the ability to do is to fine that lone wolf terrorist, homegrown guy. maybe he has nothing to do with the middle east. he's never been there. but he's angry and he's disaffected. so he goes online, he find a jihadi web site, he gets whooped up and goes to the web sites and finds out how to become a suicide bomber, how to behead people, how to make a suicide vest, how to make a pressurer cooker bomber. then he goes off to the mall near you. that's the one we have to find out how to deal with, how to prevent him from getting radicalized and see him coming before he gets to the mall near you. >> based on what you just said, k.t., am i right to geuess that authorities haven't been able to connect alton nolen to any sort of isis recruiters or fellow recruits if you will? >> well, there are reports, i think they're unconfirmed
1:55 pm
reports, that there is a connection between the man in oklahoma and the suniaf brothers. an emam at the mosque in oklahoma, also at the mosque in boston. i think those are unconfirmed reports. it would probably be irresponsible of us to make that assumption before law enforcement does. but here's the problem. we're so politically correct in all this that we refuse to call this what it is. it's not workplace violence. it's not a disgruntled employee. it's somebody who has been radicalized, probably online, maybe with a hate cleric, and he's decided to go make war. and somebody has encouraged him. somebody has inspired him. somebody has taught him how to do what he's doing. and that's the guy we have to watch out for. because nobody's safe then. >> yeah. no. people -- your normal disgruntled employee does not show up and behead someone. that's for sure. >> exactly. >> that's not normal behavior.
1:56 pm
>> there's a disconnect here. >> i'm sorry? >> yeah. for sure. >> there's a disconnect. the guy has gotten angry then all of a sudden he goes and beheads somebody because he thinks it's some higher purpose, some higher religious purpose. >> so k.t., in 30, 20 seconds, what are they going to be looking for? what sort of questions will authorities be asking this guy when they talk to him? >> where have you been on line? your facebook page shows incidents of terrorist activities in the past. what's your connection there? who have you been talking to in person and online. >> k.t. mccar fafarland, thank much. >> that's it for me. stay tuned right now for "the five." thanks for joining us.
