hold rocca. can clear it with the syrian kurds but you don't want to push them farther than the areas they should control. you are going to have to have sunni arab forces. there are forces that if you enable them and support them as we have begun to do much more resolutely in recent months, with more resources, i think they will rally to that flag. i should add one of the unintended consequences in syria is that because of the pressure on the islamic state from us, from syrian forces, from russian airstrikes is that some of their forces are defecting to the al qaeda affiliate and that is going to be the focus of attention at some point. charlie: how important is it for the iraqi forces in iraq when they are attacked in falluja and other places as they gain ground to take and hold. mr. petraeus: you have got to hold. it is a recipe for disaster. there were episodes where we would clear and handoff prematurely. it is not just about clearing. it is about having a force that can hold them. it is beyo

rocca just very quickly, rocca remains their headquarters and we think a lot of their leaders are stillthough fewer than there were, as i said, we are continuing to target leaders in rocca. the most importantly the reason the president made decision to send additional forces to syria is because we think on a formula that works. again, organizing local people to take the fight to isil combined with air support and combined with political work that we are doing. it works. and what we are doing to move down on rocca is recruiting an increasing number of arab fighters. obviously we have people on the ground helping to do that training and so far we think that is going quite well. i will just move around to number five, the president has authorized military from mosul. those are getting in place. i'm very confident that when the decision comes, they will be used quite effectively and that'll be coming. also important we are doing diplomatic and political work within the coalition to make sure humanitarian, substantialization piece and local politics is set up so that we do mosl right. mosul

who would we be looking to hand -- under his government would rocca concede to? who would supply occupying forces? >> a number of assumptions, i would question some of them. certainly be a strong arabic component alongside the kurdish forces that would eventually assemble and encircle rocca and going to be a long campaign. already we see kurdish and arab elements under pressure from the regime taking on daesh. in the northwest and the northeast. >> the military contribution of syrian military forces so far suggest they represent the single most capable maneuverable force within an exclusive focus on fighting daesh. and water opposition elements, and the multiple regime backed foreign militia and the opposition itself. it represents the most capable and homogenous. and a tactical ambition in the first instance, traditional northern syrian kurdish -- >> the force to take control -- the headquarters of daesh and three quarters i made up. they will not be welcomed indefinitely even if they are successfully controlling rocca. the problem arises, what do we do after th

present the forces can be assimilated to deal with rocca in the near term? mr. mcgurk: we recognize we have to have an arab force that moves into these areas. just gettings was off the ground. this operation which was the biggest in syria in an arab forced andganized a of about 25,000 or so and it turned out to be successful. that is one of the things that gave president obama the confidence to increase our special forces ability. what is so important is the ratio is reversed, so it is an arab force moving, a much more limited role for syrian kurds. the americans working this on the ground every day, the reports i am getting are encouraged that as we are having success, more and more of these tribal leaders are coming to join this force. i think right now the trend line is good, but i would not underestimate how hard this is. however from the proof of concept to now, i think we have hit on something that could work. >> you don't want to lay out a timeframe for postal or rocca. before lastonths june when we thought it was going to be the time we went in and it's

are you saying we need more troops , of all essentially invasion of rocca or the other places where isists own? >> are special forces can do it.they need the tools to be able to do it and some of these other things such as cider may be increasing the number of special operations forces. we don't need tens of thousands gathering our allies, providing leadership against isis. having a policy towards syria for afterwards so there are real challenges here but i think it's certainly a doable job and we made progress. i'm just worried the progress hasn't come quickly enough. you could be tired of war but i think it was trotsky who said you may not be interested in war but war may be interestedin you and that's one of the things we have to insert be interested about. we have to take the steps to defend ourselves . >> your brooks, former assistant city secretary of defense now at the heritage foundation. thank you. heather: you in the next hour, continuing coverage of the terror attack in orlando. also, the latest on a massive tire that cause explosions near los angeles early this morning, plus

heard that many officials believe that this had been planned by leadership in these syrian capital of rocca where isis has a strong hold there. and that the directives came from the very top. isis had never claimed responsibility for any of the attacks on turkish soil there have been about six in the past year. claiming 200 lives. also today, turkish security officials killed two men they said were isis suspects on the border. they said one of them was known to intelligence muhammad arab and that he was thought to have be planning an attack against either the capital of ankara or adana. >> the cap of 44 are there people still in serious condition. >> 94 people are still in the hospital. so having looked at these bombing attacks here in turkey which there have been at least 8 in the past year, suicide bombing attacks, it will likely rise. probably not precipitously but it could yet rise. >> just terrible. anyway, laura, thank you. >> thank you. >> get ready to speed read the news. an american teenager murdered in her bed in the west bank. a palestinian attacker breaking into a home and stabb

turkish media is reporting that one of the sued bombers was chechen and came here from rocca the capitalfirmation on that. the taxi driver who dropped the three attackers here at the international terminal told investigators they were speaking a foreign language he did not re other reports suggest all three were foreigners. two of the attackers forced their way past airport security and then blew themselves up inside the terminal building. a third attacker detonated his suicide vest here at the entrance and you can still see damage from the blast behind me. it appears that most of the victims were muslims, killed by an act of terrorism during the holly month of ramadan. despite the police raids on isis suspects, the group still has not claimed responsibility for this massacre at istanbul's main airport. >> holly williams at the airport in istanbul, thank you. >>> retired four-star generally michael hayden was director of the national security agency from 1999 to 2005. then he led the cia from 2006 to 2009. general hayden, good morning and good to have you here. let's start with the very

charles: and on that note, to take rocca the capital of isis and they are using christians ss human shieldsair attacks have been smat effective but to ultimately take them out you need people -- boots on the ground. should those be american soldiers leading the way? can we effectively train and aid by air the locals? some are saying, let's go in there finally perhaps doctrine and get the job done? >> good question f we ended the against assad, then the syrian arabs who are fighting assad will be free to deal with isis. what do we do with isis in the meantime because they are still killing us. we go to arabs in the area who came to us, this was four years ago when isis first stood up and said, look, we are going to deal with them, we will put together a coalition, with e need you to participate in it, u.s. boots on the ground, not a majority force but a participating force and we want you to lead it because you have the experience. that will be on the table for a new president. this president is not going to do that. charles: general king, thank you very much, appreciate it. >> good talking

rocca is the symbol to all these jihadi's who want to become part of isis but it is not about iraq and is about boca her rom in africa and out shabaab and taliban groups wedging their allegiance to icex, we have entities and elements pledging their allegiance to isis. much lesser we engaged against isis and iraq and syria. charles: what is the solution? just elected a real hard-core guy, it will be carnage and will get the job done. is that what the world needs? put on the sort of attack we would have been appalled by? >> militarily, the anti-isis coalition needs to be aggressive in terms of fighting isis but not only that simple. there is an ideological component we are not doing a very good job on to be honest and that means fighting radical islam ideology. trying to prevent the spread of the ideas. and that is equally important here, the military campaign. and we need to repopulate soon, >> how do we do that. charles: push them back, that is a race to the caliphate. that is less than the luring organization, get some of these potential lone wolves, i don't want to get in bed with a

the coalition of local forces is now treasuring the key town, the noose is tightening around isil in rocca as well. in short our coalition continues to be on offense. isil is on defense and it has been a full year since isil has been able to mount a major successful operation in either syria or iraq. as isil continues to lose territory it also continues to lose the money that is its lifeblood. as a result of our strikes against its oil infrastructure and supply lines we have cut isil's revenue. and destroying the storage sites, and we deprive them of many more. thanks to the great work of secretary lou and others today and working with nations and financial institutions around the world isil has effectively cut off from the international financial situation. cutting off isil's money may not be as dramatic as military strikes but it is critically important and we are seeing results. cash reserves are down, it had to cut salaries for its fighters, resorting to more extortion of those trapped in its grip and by isil's own admission some of its own leaders have been caught stealing cash and go

do we feel that forces can be assimilated to deal with rocker in the near term -- with rocca in the near term? >> we realize we have to have an arab forced to move into the arabic areas. in february this was just getting off the ground. i was there to talk about this operation which at the time was the biggest operation in syria in an arab town. we organized a force of about 6000 or so. 2500 were arab. the first time we had in inclusive mix. that was one of the things that gave president obama the strength to organize the forces. what is so important is the ratio is reversed. it is mostly and arab force moving. a much more limited force for the kurds. force we would use. the americans working this on the ground every day in northern .yria, they are encouraged more and more arab leaders are coming to join the force. they want to be part of the push . the timeline is good but i would not underestimate how hard it is to pull these forces together to organize them and make them an organized force. however, i think we have hit on something that can work. -- don't want >> you don't want to lay

turkish air base in southeastern turkey taking off to attack the isis targets in their capital of roccaontrol in northern syria. so, everyday these planes have been operating in support of our war against isis. the second thing i saw was u.s. commanders telling the turks, this border has got to be closed. and within a few days after we had left, u.s.-led forces launched an offensive just south of the turkish border closing that border, in effect. attacking a town. i'm told that president obama said to the turkish president, we have been asking you to do this for two years and you haven't done it. now we're going to go ahead and dait ourselves. so, in that sense, isis has really take an blow in the last month from the u.s.-led forces with turkish ecweessence. they have been striking back at the country that has been their key conduit for bringing fighters and money and all sort of equipment. into the battlefield of jihad. >> david, i was going to ask you exactly that. a plausible scenario over the next year, two years where these attacks become fewer and farther between? >> i think we're
