captain chuck nash joins us later this hour on his take with the fight against isis roughly six months after it began. first, john huddy live from the middle east bureau with the headlines of the day. john? >> reporter: jenna, the attack on this airbase as you mentioned was stopped almost immediately. it is not clear whether the militants got on the base or were stopped along the security fence perimeter. that said, proximity to al-baghdadi as you mentioned is of concern and some believe it is a threat. take a look at the map. this gives you an idea how close it. the al-asad airbase is couple miles, only five miles outside of al-baghdadi where isis taken control. this is the same base where 400 u.s. force, 300 marines have been training more than 800 iraqi ground troops. so there is a large military presence and contingent there. the base has come under mortar fire but that hasn't really posed that much of a threat or much damage. it is also a massive base, iraq's second largest roughly the size of boulder, colorado, 25 square miles. it is surrounded by a heavily guarded security fence

captain chuck nash is back with me. could you have written that monday?k it probably was written on monday. the problem with this bill is that he's talking about a world that does not exist. it's a fantasy world in his mind or his speech writers' mind but the fact is that we are looking once again, this is the third time in history, osama bin laden called his effort the third jihad. it is the third jihad. you've got militant islam on the march. it now controls territory in syria and iraq and all of the countries that the president used when he described where these extremists are, are controlled or are being overrun by organizations that define themselves as islamic. so i -- this digital network that he's setting up to pull everybody together their first hashtag ought to be duh. that's what this is really about. this is the willful disregard and it's going to come at a horrific price. >> had you brought the president of egypt or king abdullah of jordan to the white house? >> absolutely. >> would that have made a much stronger statement than bringing this
