a week ago tonight. who he first called to say that too five hours later to. not her friends, family or inry advertisepy he started to call hospitals and police. very unusual. >> premeditated, i don't know fit was premeditated. i think it was more of a rage incident more than plea meditated. the the unfortunate part of the case like this, is we only have one side of the story. there was some ongoing domestic discourse between the two that i will not comment on. the detectives that processed the crime scene noticed right away that there were some things that didn't add up with her being grabbed and drug up to that area. people that are assuming that she was running in the park. she wasn't. she was along the outskirts of the park walking. the that is clear from the video that we recovered. she's outside power walking. so we leave he followed her to her berm there. it would be very hard to drag

came out this morning. >> it is, dawn. the what is absolutely critical, these people who are trapped on this mountain are part of a much broader situation where you have a complete break down in government in iraq and this group isis or isell which really started out as a off shoot of what is going on in syria, comes into iraq, ran rough shot over iraqi military, got many of its weapons and then went north into mosul three weeks ago, four weeks ago now, or four months ago rather. the iraqi government said please give us weapons, so that we can protect ourselves. we don't trust maliki, the the iraqi prime minister, he is a bad player. he is a a lied with the iranians after we have left. he had to go someplace. he went to the iranians and now you've got this complete mess. but in the north, the kurds

are people that we protect for 12 years during saddam's reign, and they have canned us please give us weapons so we can defend ourselves. we will be flying in support for them, giving them the weapons so they can push issell back out and try to save these 50,000 people stuck on the mountains good with no food or water. >> this blew up friday an intensified this weekend. up to that point president obama had been dropping relief supplies from the air. he has said and said it again over the week end that no ground troops, we're in the doing that again in iraq. at what point does it spill over into triggering the necessity for ground troops. >> the necessarity foreground troops has existed for months. the question is whose troops. so the kurds have said give us the weapons. we will fight. they are a much better, more

effective ferocious and dedicated force then the iraqi government troops would have been. but, you cannot do this from the era loan. the is is has to be for the on the ground, the groups have said give us the weapons, we will do it. we are very late to the game in giving them the means so that they can defend themselves and the longer you wait, just remember bad news doesn't get better with age. >> if you are chuck hagel what do you advise the president to do. >> give them weapons but we're going to have to intensify the air campaign. always ask this question, and then what happens next. you have this limited strike, we were hitting vehicles, we don't need to hit vehicles, we need to hit entire columns. you cannot do that quickly or easily. >> in the meantime this religious group is stuck there on the mountains. we will see how that plays
