isis fights like an army. an army with heavy weapons, heavier weapons than they've had and taking ground and oholding ground. nobody is talking about defeating but simply pushing them back a bit, if they can. this is an army, this is a group that is fighting something that al qaeda only could have aspired two years ago. al qaeda never got this far. anderson? >> startling to see how fast they are moving. the humanitarian air drops, have they continued today, as well? >> we had one overnight. it's very fair to say there will be additional air drops. you can see from the video, the desperate, desperate need on that mountain top. a number of other international organizations exploring ways to see if there is any way they can get aid to the people. what we have learned is after that first air drop, the u.s. flew a drone to come to the a calculations if the pal lets of food and water got to the people. they flew the drone and looking at the footage, all of them did about nine pallets. so they are very confident they

generals say isis is an army and it "takes an army to defeat an arm army." >> here's an exclusive inside look at how isis actually operates and what their scary message is for america. >> you can see more of that documentary on vice news or follow them on twitter. time for us to bring in president of the hamilton foundation. great to see you, christian. i heard a lot of people say that isis makes al qaeda look like jv. what do you think? >> i think there's some truth to that. in a way, this group is much more interested and capable of exporting jihad. right now they are looking at consolidating their own homeland if you will in iraq and in syria. certainly much more than the taliban and perhaps more than al qaeda they have the means and the skill and the determination and the discipline to bring jihad abroad. >> can we curtail them with simply air strikes? some of the generals saying you have to fight an army with an army. >> that's right. the general in charge of coordinating security with iraq saying that this is much broader. this is a real army. that's something that that vice docume

other than that, they're working together in an army unit. they were working closely with this administration. he might be -- which we don't. reward to terrorism. the enemy is faceless. even the superpowers have generally failed in this territory. given a timeline or a timeframe, our closure of this war is very difficult to get. the real test will come after december. time, -- to rehabilitate all these people about the numbers we are disputing. since the afghani taliban would be under pressure by the afghan forces, there is a high desertion rate. he will be under pressure, the afghani taliban, by the afghan forces. they will be under pressure either pakistan army. ofthere any possibility applying the doctrine of necessity that they might start working together, taking both sides as a common enemy? back whoose in the couldn't hear the doctor. there are 2.2 is making. in his own visit to pakistan he saw a great convergence among all the military people that he the aims of this exercise. the question was, is a possibility of the afghan and pakis

that you need an army. senator dianne feinstein said this. you need an army to fight an army. isn't it too late to talk politics? doesn't there need to be a coordinated effort to push back and gain from isis? >> well, there has to be a political solution and a military effort. i think those that say it's too late, we need boots on the ground, military solution, that's not going to work unless maliki shares power, and he's not willing to do that. isis right now controls 40% of the country. they're strong. they're weaponized. what we need to do is short term contain them. contain them in the short run until a political solution is achieved. otherwise, jim, we're going to have a situation where no matter how many weapons kbrout s you w much assistance is put in, unless there's a sharing of power in iraq and perhaps what will spur things is this kurdish election if they have this constitutional election that allows them to become a separate entity, that's going to start a domino effect. and you're going to have a political solution that may be inevitable, and that's good. >> so po

an army group is two or more armies. and eventually by the spring of 1943, there are four armies in tunisia, a country the size of the state of georgia. two allied armies, two axis armies. american forces had suffered a severe setback in mid-february 1943 when the german commanders in africa, one guy you've heard of named rommel and another one you've perhaps not heard of named arnum launch a surprise counteroffensive and drive the americans back 85 miles through cassering pass in western tunisia. in terms of yardage lost, it's the greatest defeat for the american army in world war ii. there are more than 6,000 casualties. and that gives you some sense of the terrain around kasserine pass. and axis forces lack the strength to exploit their winnings and the battle soon tilts against them as allied air and naval power sweep the italian navy from the sea, from the mediterranean and the german luftwaffe from the sky. hitler refuses to permit the evacuation from tunisia, except for rommel and a few specialized units. and germ

it takes an army to defeat an army said senate intelligence chairwoman dianne feinstein, a democrat.nd i believe we either confront isil now or be forced to deal with an even strong enemy in the future. administration officials insist there will be no mission creep. in addition to aid, what u.s. support would they provide to open a humanitarian corridor. to get them to safety. two, what happens if other groups including iraqi christians come under threat? will the u.s. rescue them as well. finally what type of military support will the u.s. offer to iraqi forces, not only to stop isis advances but to push back, to gain background. that's still an open question. christi and victor. >> jim sciutto, thank you very much. >>> president obama speaking with "the new york times'" tom freeman, said that iraqis missed the chance at that kind of cooperation. >> they squandered an opportunity. and i've been, i think, pretty clear, about the fact that had the shia majority seized the opportunity to reach out to the sunnis and the kurds in a more effective way passed legislation like de-baathifica

good enough, the president of the united states's gamble that we could build an army good enough, it has always been a gamble. indications are it looks like the afghan army is holding by and large but there are troubling individual incidents. some fights in kandahar this last week in which the afghan army looks at you did fairly poorly. we will be watching this fairly closely for the next two years. it could unravel like iraq unraveled. that is why we need to be careful not to set all of our decisions about what our force in january 2017 today. the president has backed himself into a corner. >> why did he do that? >> i am not a psychologist. i do not know why he didn't. >> very few people think that was a wise thing to indicate a date. when you would withdraw x number of troop's. one of the most important things you want to do is keep your enemy and doubt in what you are going to do. and signal in -- in advance we will be at this date will be at this level of forces and then at zero. they decided to set the so far in advance the president has time to change his mind. the lesson o

five years you look young to them being an army for five years. i just can't help but think the guy's a kid and then they put him up to be the i.d.f. spokesperson i mean he had to in all fairness he did a good job of it at his age but i mean at the end of days a kid. why would you as an army want to put forward a kid as your spokesperson the idea could have done itself of a disservice by giving us a stronger person who is more of a spokesperson rather than someone who is just so young i wish that israelis and palestinians could see each other as people and not just as the representation of the israeli army and the same on the other side i mean today i was on a case study and i was right he said he feels like a lamb he feels so humiliated we interviewed one man who's been doing this for twenty seven years i think he said twenty five or twenty so can you imagine every day for twenty seven years going to a church or huge so i try to bring that humanity into the stories. but in terms of the people who loved the story they didn't see the humanity of ea

they operate like an army and hold territory like an army. colonel, in light of the games that isis has made, how long should the american people expect u.s. military action back in iraq, possibly in syria? are we looking at months? are we looking at years? >> i think we're looking at years and the american leadership, political leadership needs to prepare the american people for the long haul here. this is an organization that is strong, virulent, well financed and it won't be defeated quickly like we defeated the taliban in 2001 or saddam hussein's armed forces in 2003. this is going to take a while because we're not going to employ u.s. conventional forces on the ground and so it's going to take a while to reform, reequip and retraining the iraqi and kurdish forces and it will take a while to chip away at isis and defeat them and destroy them both in iraq and in syria. it's not going to be a short, quick campaign. >> the u.s. at war against isis for years says colonel peter monsour. from iraq with general petraeus. thanks to bernie kerik a

but in the army itself one of the foreign contractors, an interesting point, they started a tradition that today people seem to think just started during one of the gulf wars which was the hiring of contractors to serve in the u.s. army. the continental congress hired a lot of formula to officers in specialized fields like engineering aperture because the expertise didn't exist in america. one of those officers, dekalb, ashley was a french spy who, while -- he died gallantly leading maryland trips but he reported back privately his view of how the war was going to the french government. something a military attachÉ we do today who was attached to a foreign government. in my previous experience, the national interests of there's countries are always different. so consequently it was always good for policymakers to know what somebody else's agenda is. >> my understanding is that spying was not a very gentlemanly thing to do in the 18th 18th century. and what's interesting about nathan hale is he was a gentleman. and i believe that his friends try to talk you out of taking on this missio

next year, we are going to see whether the president's camp that we can build an afghan army, -- the president obama -- to build an afghan army good enough that it could contain the taliban will pay off. it has always been a gamble. at this point, indications look like the afghan army is holding by and large but there are troubling individual incidents. there were some fights in kandahar this last week. the army look like you did rarely poorly. we have to watch this thing very closely over the next two years. it could unravel just like iraq. that is why we need to be very careful not to set all of our decisions about the force will be in january 2017 today. the president has backed himself into a corner and i think -- >> why did he do that? >> i am not a psychologist. i don't know why. >> very few people think it was a wise thing to indicate by date when you would withdrawal x number of troops. >> one of the most important things you want to do is keep your enemy in doubt as to what your intentions are. it is always something of a mistake to single your plans in advance to the enemy a
