power and in numbers. a lot of folks surprised to hear the president make this admission? >> reporter: it's kind of a mixed bag, kris. he didn't make an admission. he said the intelligence community dropped the ball and said that the iraqi military and government were unable to stand up and fight like the u.s. intelligence community thought they would. now, the president is trying to build a coalition overseas and at the same time he's trying to cobble together a political coalition here at home. that is a lot more difficult. the president is reaching out to members of congress trying to test the waters, if you will, to see whether there is enough interest in coming back to vote for an authorization to fight in both iraq and in syria. right now it's sort of a mixed bag. there are many republicans who don't want to be seen in supporting the president, there are many democrats who don't want to be seen with supporting war with the mid term

congressional elections coming up in just a couple of weeks. the members of congress who are clamoring for a return for a vote are the ones not up for election or the ones who feel politically safe. 72% of the american people believe that u.s. boots on the ground inevitable, however, only 45%, kris, believe that is a good idea. >> and there-in lies the tricky part. thank you very much, brian. >> the faa now taking new action after a fire set at an air traffic control facility caused flight cancellations across the country. this morning the agency will announce a review of contingency plans in the event of a major failure or outage. it will also review security procedures at their facility. >> there are still flight troubles today three days after that fire. chicago's o'hare airport reporting a number of delays and

saturday. the shooting happened while the officer was checking the ferguson community center. he was shot in the arm and is expected to be okay. ferguson made news when a police officer shot and killed unarmed michael brown. >> up next, violent protests bring hong kong to a standstill. >> plus toxic fumes force hundreds to abandon their mission after a volcano erupts in japan. >> and eight fires lands two men behind bars. the investigation, though, far from over. >> and coming up, expect heavy traffic in downtown san francisco and lighter traffic maybe in san jose since the san jose unified kids are out on break.

early as ten days. not anymore. police have arrested a 27-year-old almeida man and 22-year-old transient. this morning we spoke with a manager of jim's coffee shop, which came close to also catching fire. >> it's been so many years. it affects fg, that work by now. i don't know how it's going to take. it's really bad. >> the motive is still unclear. a multi-agency task force is now investigating all these fires. back here live, it's tough to see but there are some security cameras all around this plaza
