in an example at the white house briefing, white house press secretary josh earnest was asked. this is a little bit of this exchange. >> i'm wondering why detail this in advance? doesn't that give your play book to the islamic state and make it easier for them to prepare against that attack? >> josh, i saw many of the same news reports that you may have seen on this. >> it seemed like the white house was even taken a little bit surprised by the pentagon statement put up on capitol hill there was some outrage about this. senators john mccain and lindsay graham fired off an angry letter to the president. i'll read a portion. never in our memory can we recall an instance at a has our military knowingly briefed our war plans to our enemies. this could cost the lives of u.s. iraqi and coalition forces. again, the pentagon insists that no sensitive tactical information was given away. we contacted the pentagon and they had no official comment tony. >> and the plan can always be changed. jamie, thank you. >>> three school girls believed to be on their way to syria to join i.s.i.l. clo

we tried to ask the white house press secretary about that josh earnest. he fumbled the answer to this as well. in these interviews all presidential interviews make news no matter what the questions are. sometimes letting the president speak he'll make news. >> that's true. that was an interesting moment. i don't think the president meant to deny there was an anti-semitic motivation there. he's said it before. what he said in the interview was random. members of his staff i think sort of fumbled follow-up questions. it became a story for a day or two. i don't think from my point of view that was not like the most interesting thing that happened in that interview, but it goes to show whenever you get the president on camera something can happen. >> ben, i have to ask you this. what makes you cringe the most the president sitting down with a buzz feed or a vox or "60 minutes" or cnn? which is the one that has you bracing for impact the most? >> i think matthew hit on a good point. when you prepare for a sunday show interview, when you prepare the president f

let's go right to cnn senior white house correspondent jim acosta live on the north lawn. josh earnest, the white house press secretary, said today the authorization is intentionally fuzzy. then the president made clear three years is not necessarily a timeline on military operations just on this authorization. >> that's right, jake. i think the president is finding out why there has not been a war authorization vote in this congress in 13 years, because it is this difficult and he's taking heat from all sides. the president trying to explain to the american people that he does take the threat posed by isis seriously. he said at one point during his remarks that the coalition is on the offense, isis is on the defense and isis is going to lose but the president wants the flexibility and that's why josh earnest said earlier today that this language is intentionally fuzzy. the president wants the flexibility to conduct operations in iraq and in syria, that are short of a full-blown invasion. the president trying to allay the concerns of nervous democrats, also said in the language of this authorization is a thr

i want jay carney former white house press secretary, to weigh in. go ahead, jake. >> danielle makes a good point. this is what this is all about. but i also think regardless of barack obama's history, the american history here is important. you don't have to wage war against an entity like isis with a blank check. there is no reason why you can't continue an operation that has seen some success already in iraq and expand it as necessary without allowing for or even introducing a full scale ground combat operation. what i have yet to hear from critics of this limited strategy is a better alternative that somehow falls short of a full scale invasion because everyone knows that that won't be supported by the american people and won't even be supported by congress. >> is it a problem for the president to be saying all of this because isis is listening, they must be saying to themselves the united states is not going to come in with ground forces we can take a sigh of relief. >> i have always thought that's a little misguided in the sense that isis isn't
