>> the jv comment has taken a lot of crist six and there's been a lot of analysis this week, what i've seen through my reporting, there really is an inning consistency in the way the isis threat is being framed. part of that is the political lens. and it's intelligence driven. before the foley posting, u.s. officials told reporters they didn't have good visibility over the size of isis. nor did they have visibility over who was the senior leadership. it's unclear to me if the president has viewed the execution. >> i would like an answer on that. if the president decides to take action on isis terrorists in syria, will he go it alone? >> mike emmanuel joins us from washington tonight. he has a lot of details.
