right now on "andrea mitchell reports," breaking news, the first arrest from the attack of mbenbenghazi. forces strike back as the marines arrive to secure the u.s. embassy in baghdad. what will president obama decide about other military options? richard engel will be joining you from the iraqi capital. >> this city and the iraqi government are on war footing. when you turn on the local television, you see patriotic songs, praising of the iraqi army, thousands of new recruits are joining up.

double trouble. twin tornadoes rip through the small town of pilger, nebraska, killing a small child and leaving a path of devastation. >> oh dear god, it's ripping up the whole town. >> you are just kind of in a state of shock because it's -- you can't believe that it can be gone so fast. and american dream. from the stunning start to the thrilling finish, team usa's gutsy world cup win. now has fans from coast to coast believing today. >> in! >> what about that? it's john brooks! it's john brooks! for the usa! have they stolen it?

good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitch knell washington. we begin with breaking news. u.s. special operations forces captured one of the suspected ringleaders of the terrorist attacks in benghazi. nbc justice correspondent pete williams joins us now with more. pete? >> well, andrea, this administration official says this all happened over the weekend, that it was u.s. military operation with the fbi there to maintain the legal chain of custody of necessary continuity and that it happened with basically no casualties. it was relatively smooth operation according to a couple of administration officials that i have talked to. and they say that the suspect ahmed abu khattala is now being held at what they described as a secure location outside libya. now, we can be certain that right now he's being questioned for intelligence purposes. the normal practice in a case

like this would be -- and this always is a question that arises when you arrest a high profile person overseas, the normal process and i have no reason to think it won't be followed in this case is he'll be questioned for intelligence purposes first and then at some point when they decide that that has run its course, then a second team of interrogators will come in basically starting all over give him miranda warnings and start the legal process and where this is headed because the goal will be to bring him to the united states, to face charges for the consulate attack in benghazi. you know, they're under seal and been an open secret that charges have been filed here in washington and so it seems likely to be brought here some point to stand trial. the officials tell me that they had something of an advantage because he was on the run both from the u.s. and libya. well aware that the uss trying to get him, after all there's been i think now two attempts, this would be the third to try

to arrest him in libya. he was on the run, not only from u.s. authorities, but also, from the current government in libya with whom he was out of favor. so, he in essence would not get sanctuary from the government to prevent this. officials here say that to some extent worked to the advantage of the u.s., andrea. >> thanks so much, pete. we should point out that he was a continuing and recuring embarrassment to the administration because he was sitting and drinking in cafes in benghazi and elsewhere in libya for days after that attack with no one bothering to arrest him. we'll, of course, have updates throughout the hour. meanwhile, iraq. violence continues to wage as the fighting inches closer to baghdad. a police station was attacked baqubah north of the iraqi capital. the government says shiite forces repelled the insurgents but this is the closest that the isis insurgents gotten to

baghdad since they began the rapid advance. as they continue to seize control across the region, sunni areas, nbc's chief foreign correspondent richard engel joins me from baghdad. the capital different place now, secured by marines, extra marines have gone into the embassy but the capital itself bracing for action. >> reporter: the capital doesn't feel like it is going to be attacked. what i think we're seeing now in baghdad, what i see today, is a disturbing trend in that a lot of shiite militias, sectarian forces are on the streets. they're also joining the army. as you know, last week, a large section of the iraqi army deserted, dropping the uniforms and deciding not to fight against isis in mosul and western iraq. we came back from a recruitment center and the people we saw joining up for the army were those who were responding not

necessarily just to patriotic calls although they were expecting patriotic sentiment, but mostly they were celebrating and talking about their shiite faith, their shiite identity, how they want to come out to fight sunnis against who are attacking shiites using very sectarian language. on their body armor, there were shiite slogans, written in shiite patches, dancing and shouting the names of shiite religious figures. not the kind of thing that the u.s. had in mind when it trained the iraqi forces. as i was standing there watching them shouting up the names of shiite clerics and holding the guns in the air and dancing, i kept thinking all of those days i watched u.s. forces training and thinking this is not, not what they had in mind. >> not at all, indeed. what a contrast. also, earlier you showed the isis forces pulling over some

trucks and questioning the drivers. tell us what happened in the video, video that they have released. not confirmed by nbc. >> yeah. it's very difficult to confirm these videos because, obviously, we weren't there with isis as they were executing prisoners but there are a lot of videos emerging like this and consistent about what we're hearing is happening in some of these remote areas. the militants stopped truckers, these are trucks driving between syria and iraq. they pulled people out of the trucks, drivers, and the militants who were wearing pakistani style dress sort of long overshirts and the baggy pants demanded a test of faith. the militants from isis. extremist sunni group said, are you sunni or shiite? the driver's terrified said sunni. that's the right answer. that's the answer that the militants wanted to hear. and the militants said, prove it. they start asking them a series

of questions. asking them the specifics of sunni rituals. there's differences in prayer rituals and not satsed with the answers, clearly, because the three drivers were then executed. terrifying thing. you can't tell them apart in this century. they're pretty much all arabs and using the minuscule religious tests asking them about differences in dogma, in order to pick them out and then kill them. >> really terrifying. thank you so much, richard. thanks for calling in. president obama is, of course, weighing u.s. options. last night he met with the national security team and a diplomatic overture beginning to iran. ryan crocker was ambassador 2007 to 2009 and also served as ambassador to other war zones, of course, afghanistan, earlier beirut. he is now the dean of the george bush school of government and school at texas a&m and joins us from texas.

thank you very much, ambassador. first of all, what do you think we should be doing diplomatically? >> that is the key question, andrea. i think the main efforts we have to make is the "d" of diplomacy, taking precedence over the "d" of defense. we have not been engaged systematically and a high level for basically since our forces were withdrawn in 2011. and what we're seeing now i think is the result of that. the iraqi system is not mature enough to function on its own without robust u.s. involvement. we saw that during a time i was there. '07 to '09. before and after. so i think the critical, immediate step right now would be for the secretary of state to get himself to baghdad. >> hillary clinton only went once the entire time that she

was secretary of state. i believe once in 2009. first of all, looking back, do you think that she and others should have been paying more attention to iraq, perhaps less to afghanistan or at least more attention to iraq? >> clearly, we need a sustained, high level engagement with iraq an we haven't had it. now, during the period of her tenure, the vice president was fairly actively involved. but i don't think he's been out there since 2011. secretary kerry has been out precisely once. you know, we are watching as richard engel just reported isis very deliberately working to trigger sectarian conflict and fragment the country. the only way to prevent that is

for there to be a very serious u.s. engagement to bring iraqis together, not let these forces pull them apart which is exactly what isis wants. >> you know, you held talks with iran. now talks again are being held by bill burns, the deputy secretary of state with iranians, with foreign ministers in vienna alongside the nuclear talks. do you think that that is a fruitful approach? do you think iran can influence malaki to try to reach out to sunnis? >> well, we have seen the iranians publicly urge prime minister malaki to do just that. that's obviously encouraging. i think we should be engaged with the iranians but, you know, we have to be a little bit careful here, too. the sunnis are already feeling ostracized and victimized by the shia majority backed by iran.

so, while engagement with the iranians is a good thing if it can lead them to, for example, get a handle on these shia militias richard was talking about and influence malaki to be more open to the sunnis and the kurds, but again, what we can't do is make it look like there's an iranian-american alliance on iraq was that simply will push the sunnis in the wrong direction. >> malaki government made a statement today blaming saudi arabia for supporting isis in its infancy. do they have a point? is this blowback? >> there clearly was gulf support for the insurgency and i am not sure in the early days that they were all that discriminating as to who they were giving resources to.

however, as far as i can tell, andrea, the saudis have no interest and are in no way engaged and have not been for sometime with isis. this threatens them, too. and, you know, i would hope that iraq would be reaching out to its arab neighbors because, again, this is a common threat. to iraq. to the region. and to the united states. >> have we under two presidents now made the wrong bet on malaki and does malaki have to go for this finally to come together and have a chance at any kind of unified iraq? >> well, malaki did pretty well in the recent elections. i think -- >> well, the sunnis didn't vote. they boycotted it.

>> that's -- that is a mistake they made in a previous election. and, you know, it is never a good idea to boycott an election because, you know, those you like the least are going to profit from it. but i think the issue here is using our diplomatic weight to bring the leadership together. the iraqis are talking a bit about a national unity government or a war cabinet, something along those lines. but they're not going to be able to get that done by themselves. if there is going to be any meaningful power sharing that would bring the sunnis back into some level of cooperation with the government, it's going to take some heavy lifting by the united states. >> and would you go back to baghdad?

i know john mccain and others said you should. would you come out of retirement to take this on? >> well, i've already failed retirement once, andrea, after iraq. and i was asked by president obama to serve as ambassador to afghanistan. i am the dean of a school of public service so you have to walk the walk. so if i was called on to serve my country one more time, i would certainly do so. >> ryan crocker, thank you very much. thanks for being with us today. >> thank you. coming up, the chair of the house intelligence committee congressman mike rogers joining me next. at first, we were protecting networks. then, we were protecting the transfer of data. and today it's evolved to infrastructure... ♪ ...finance... and military missions. we're constantly innovating

the president notified congress he is sending up to 275

troops to baghdad, 100 marines currently there protecting the u.s. embassy in baghdad september in over the weekend. after meeting last night, the white house did not announce new decisions on military options. they confirmed, though, they're talking to iran about political solutions. i'm joined now by the chair of the house intelligence committee, congressman mike rogers. thank you for being with us. >> great to be here. >> talking to iran, good idea, bad idea? >> listen. if you're looking for some political reconciliation through talks with iran, i don't think it's a good idea. you have a real problem. there's a momentum problem that's in the favor of an al qaeda army. isis. that is marching across baghdad and they're executing people su marly. as you saw with your footage, pulling people out of trucks if they don't answer the right questions about being a sunni they'll shoot them. it's really quite gruesome. and it's growing worse. they have a billion dollars. they have heavy weapons. reports now they have two helicopters.

this is an al qaeda army on the move. so our immediate concern should be to stop and slow their momentum. and to reengage our arab league part nerls who wanted to be a part of this fight early on to try to put down what was a growing tlet in eastern syria. >> the malaki government blamed saudi arabia for creating isis in the first place. >> it's ridiculous. isis has been there, they were there when iraq was there. and don't forget, you know, i r rainians were in iraq the time u.s. service men and women were there and department of defense believes as many as 600 people may have been killed, u.s., blood on their hands through their actions in iraq. you're working against iran and the united states have counter interests in syria right now. the only ones that really want to put a hurt on the people who are -- is, again, this rising al qaeda army, is our arab league partners and so listen.

we need to give breathing room for political reconciliation. i believe that. to do that you have to have fair ly decisive wins for against isis, al qaeda army operating in iraq and eastern syria. we can do that. this is not too fragile to put back together. the frustration with our arab league partners is saying this for three years and asking for three years worth of help. now's the time. we should reengage that and hopefully have quick halting disruptive-type activity to stop their assault on baghdad. >> do you have a reaction to the arrest of ahmed abu khattala on benghazi, the mbenbenghazi susp finally arrested over the weekend by special forces? >> a little bit of a bright spot in not a great story to tell on the rising tide of terrorist organizations around the world so i think there will be more to come out on that in the days ahead.

it's an important thing to send that message to terrorists, wherever you are that the united states will not tolerate the deaths of americans, attacking americans wherever you are. we'll find you, we'll get you. we'll bring you to yjuice tis. little long overdue. i'm happy for the folks that put the operation together and well done. now we have a lot of fight left to handle here. >> was ahmed abu khattala the master mind? have we broken the back of this conspiracy? >> oh, i wouldn't say we have broken the back by any stretch of the imagination. it's an important -- this was an important activity to happen. to take someone like khattala off the battlefield and sends a clear message in libya we haven't gone away. that's important. there's over a dozen individuals of interest. i think that the united states needs to gather up. this is one. it's an important step. i think with some hope, he'll cooperate with the united states and provide us information that will lead to the bringing

justice of others who are involved in the benghazi attack. >> and your take as an intelligence expert on what group was responsible for this now all these years later? >> for benghazi? >> yep. >> yeah. ansar el shariah clearly involved in this event, an al qaeda-minded organization that had a lot of freedom of operation. we know through intelligence reports they were interested in an event like this happen and probably a conglomerate of different groups that came together for an opportunity to attack the u.s. consulate there. but i believe that the driving force behind that was ansar el shariah in ben zba ga zi at the time and still is. >> thank you very much. >> thank you. next, the vote that hillary clinton calls her biggest regret. our "daily fix" up next.

cissilisa. seems like the book tour is not as celebratory as some in her team hoped given the events on the ground and now a benghazi arrest. >> in some ways, andrea, the lesson barack obama learned in the presidency. the best-laid plans interrupted by world events. that's happening to hillary clinton. the hard thing is that the quandary that faces barack obama, which is an american public war weary, not wanting to commit troops, really not wanting to get involved, coupled with the reality that we did spend significant money and we lost many lives in iraq, not wanting to -- it's a voir dire hard problem to solve. same problem for hillary clinton. if there was an easy solution on iraq, smart people in both

parties would have already come to it so the fact that she is sort of being asked about this again and again, look, that's what happens when you run for president. there's just no easy answer here. president obama's dealing with it maybe a little more bluntly than hillary clinton but something she has to deal with, too, because she is running not just on the book and when and if she runs, i should say, it's going to be on at least in part her time as secretary of state. >> i would say when, not if. >> i agree. >> the exit of hard choices, i thought i had acted in good faith and made the best decision i could with the information i had and i wasn't alone in getting it wrong but i still got it wrong. plain and simple, in our political culture, saying you made a mistake can be taken as a sign of weakness but it's a sign of growth for people and nations. so trying to turn the page on iraq. >> qyeah. i think what's interesting is at the time hillary clinton wrote that segment of her book, she probably thought that was the

last word to have to have on iraq and repeat it over and over again. obviously, the situation changed dramatically just in the last week or so and not only faced with questions again about why she initially supported the war, but what the its was doing when she was secretary of state in order to try to either keep a presence there or to try to combat this insurgency and work with the malaki government. and the statements she is making now about the malaki government are going to raise additional questions about just why the u.s. didn't do more if they knew that the situation was rumbling. >> well, in fact, you could argue that while she was writing the book, there were plenty of warnings to this administration, to hillary clinton and her team of what was happening. fallujah, just one of them a number of months ago. this was not unpredicted, what happened in iraq and the malaki problems. >> absolutely. and that will be another question, why didn't you either know more about what was happening on the ground or if you did know more, why didn't

you do more? >> we have had enough bad news so i want to give chris cillizza a chance to crow about the world cup victory last night and following the twitter feed last night and you were so into this, chris. >> my -- i will tell you. so, andrea, you know this but i have two smallish sons. one is 5, one is almost 2. both of them, i don't know why they did this, but both of them took -- i know why the little one did it. my older son took his shirt off and swung it around his head and the little one followed suit. he does everything his big brother does. so yeah. it was a big moment in the cillizza household and followed -- four minutes earlier ghana scored and looked like we would wind up tied. big victory, awesome, awesome win and hugely celebrated in the cillizza household. >> wish we had all been there with you, chris.

that called itself too tough to die. twin tornadoes, a small child died. the weather channel's mike seidel joins me from pilger. it's a town of less than 400 people but it's virtually nothing left. >> reporter: yeah. it is a very small town. one square mile. we are on the southwest side and tornadoes generally travel southwest to northeast. this is no different. this is one of the first houses it wiped off its foundation. there's the foundation. a little bit of a basement. you can see what's left of the house. behind that, bark was stripped off the trees and there's nothing left but the tree itself. no limbs, no leaves. left on the trees. pan around and what you are going to see behind me, this is the path of the twister. they had a 20-minute warning, a tornado warning out at 3:41 and hit about 4:00. sirens blairs.

you can see looking through the town, almost see to the other side of town, andrea. not a lot standing and if it is it's in pretty bad shape and 75% of the town is damaged. 45 to 50 homes are total losses. here, this business is gone. saw some of their owners earlier trying to salvage items there. that's what they're doing today. residents can go in, carry out what they can until 5:00 and then they have to leave. they can't drive in. no heavy equipment until tomorrow. we are seeing the power companies around the area trying to get some of the poles back up. but basically, trying to get residents in there today. they took care of the propane leak earlier and i talked to the sheriff earlier and he did say at the press conference that they're going to have a second and third combing and search of the area. he is almost certain nobody else is missing. he doesn't have a list of anybody missing. he wants to be safe. this is the first tornado fatality here in nebraska in ten years, andrea. so they have had a pretty good streak and a pretty bad one not far from here in waen back on

october 4th. a lot of damage but they're fortunately no fatalities. nice sunny afternoon and more storms in the forecast here for the next couple of days. in fact, more severe weather in the forecast from montana through the northern plains, dakotas and chicagoland area, parts of the northeast. western new york. northeast ohio today with the front and could be a few more tornadoes but the bottom line today is not as volatile as yesterday. back to you. >> mike, that devastation there and a bad weather front across the midpart of the nation, thank you very much. president obama has made it clear he's reluctant to send u.s. forces into iraq and as the situation unravels on the ground there, pressure is mounting to approve military options. i'm joined by seattle by retired four star general and analyst general barry mccalf ri. general, thank you very much. i wanted to have you take us through the options because there are no good options here given what's happening in iraq. we have seen our own richard engel and the reporting from the

field, just how volatile it is. but let's talk first of all about what could be done for from the sea, from the carrier group that's now in the persian gulf. >> well, andrea, by way of preface, by the way, the military options are almost unlimited from ground invasion on up to minor insertion of special ops units. the real problem is does the administration write down the political objective to achieve and then allow the pentagon to design appropriate interventions or is it what normally happens, the optics of the domestic politics governs the range of military options? so, you know, from the sea we have these gigantic carrier battle groups with the supporting tom hawk missile strikes. marine forces that can be inserted far inland by aircraft. from the air, this massive u.s. air force, b-2 bombers, stealth

bombers can fly all the way from the united states, bomb targets in iraq and return to -- by the way, do so with independently targeted precision munitions and clearly the ground forces are capable of going in there, holding open the baghdad airport. by the way, the major challenge facing us today is what do we do if we have to evacuate 5,000-plus americans out of the embassy? through the streets of baghdad. 8 million people. and out of an airport that's under mortar and rocket fire. so, ground forces would be substantial ground forces would be involved that if it's necessary. >> we've drawn down the embassy. we don't know what the residual force and it is thousands of people, you know, you're correct. now, when we talk about the politics and the optics of this, this is a president who has since the beginning of 2002 made it clear he thought iraq was the

wrong war, that he thought afghanistan was the right war. and that he promised to get us out of iraq and did. and is being criticized now for not leaving residual force by the political critics, many of whom got us in the war in the first place and not leaving a residual force and not doing more to pressure the malaki government. can we with this government and maybe the help of iran come up with a diplomatic solution or do you think that military options are going to become inevitable? >> for starters, seems to me diplomatic solutions happen when a weak side things it's losing but the victor never wants to negotiate. why isis would negotiate with a collapsing iraqi army's beyond me. i'll also extremely leary listening to congressman rogers, i think very sensible notion, what do we want to negotiate with iran for? we're trying to get them to start their nuclear development program so i think, you know,

calling for unity government when malaki's got the back against the wall, where there's an ongoing civil war, i keep reading reports of a hint of an impending civil war. thousands of shia and sunni have been locked in mortal combat for well over a year. so, i think the situation is tenuous at best and u.s. military involvement is unlikely to make it better. >> barry mccaffrey, thank you for judgments and perspective. we asked you and you answered on twitter and facebook. should the u.s. send in troops to iraq? here is a few of your responses. heather on twitter writes, no. let's focus time, talent and treasure on fixing america. steve on twitter also says, no, this is a religious civil war. on facebook, john writes, the u.s. should send in troops to protect u.s. citizens at the u.s. embassy until they can
