transport it, as obama was explaining. wind and sun and ways are free. blessed can become an energy provider. models the company german . you can feed into the grid and become an energy producers as well as provide your own energy. what the victim also feel companies understand, this means millions of people become competitors with them. some people talk about also feel says the 1% or even less. renewable energy, if done in a really decentralized way, can the energy of the 99%. that is exciting. that is an example of how responding to this crisis, we can feel it our two biggest crises for two of them at the same time. this is a reason why germany has been so successful is that anduse it is decentralized this is a piece of often don't care about is that there had been 900 energy cooperatives created, hundreds of cities and decided to take back control over the energy is from private operators that have privatized and and i think that is so that they not only have renewable energy, but a key the proceeds from that. they caps

bill clinton once put it and i use this as the title of my macs to book barack obama as an amateur. >> that's the title of the last book in the kennedys as well. edward klein is the guest from new york and the title of the current work dot obamas versus the clintons. alabama go-ahead. >> caller: hello. can you hear me? >> guest: yes, go ahead. >> caller: if he was incompetent he wouldn't be the president. if he wasn't he wouldn't have been there. so you were saying are saying he is incompetent at what you are doing -- you have to view, not the president. >> guest: i'm going to let other people decide and confident or not. i've been a journalist i've written 12 books both of which have been on the bestseller list i used to be the editor-in-chief of "the new york times" magazine and before that, i was the foreign editor of "newsweek" so i had a long history of achievement and i feel that my books have again and again proven to be true. as far as the president is concerned about the only person who is saying that this is an incompetent administration. this seems to be sp

. >>> military strikes pound isis terrorists overnight as president obama vows to crush their network of death. >> the language of force. >>> major development. an arrest in the missing university of virginia student. >>> plus, derek jeter's final night at yankee stadium. >>> good morning, thank you for joining us. >>> the national weather service says more than two inches of rain fell on lubbock in under two hours turning flood-prone roadways into waterways. the flooding was so suden and so severe, fire crews had to pull people from their vehicles. the storm brought lightning and high winds that downed power lines. in western texas we're getting a first look at devastating flooding. look at this after the picos river overflowed its banks earlier this week, cars stuck in the mud and mobile homes simply flooded and more rain expected in the region today. >>> the u.s. military has expanded its aerial campaign against isis targets striking in syria and iraq. the strikes, however, have not stopped militants from advancing in kurdish areas. richard engel has the latest from the turkey/syri

as president obama has made clear, isil's leaders have threatened america and our allies. if left unchecked, isil will directly threaten our homeland and our allies. in his address to the nation, president obama announced that the united states will lead a broad multi-national coalition to roll back isil's threat and defeat isil. more than 40 already expressed their willingness to participate in this effort and more than 30 nations have indicated their readiness to offer military support. president obama and vice president biden, secretary kerry and i and others are working to unit and expand this coalition. at the nato summit in wales, secretary kerry and i convened a meeting of key partners in this coalition. i then went to turkey and georgia. the georgians made they're they will help. turkey by virtue of its geography and common interest in destroying isil and inexpensable member of the beginning of the nato. turkey is holding 50 of its democrats. >> oil from isil. >> the chair notes that there is a disturbance of the committee's proceedings. >> you're not the president

we are now one year in obama care. astor, are you satisfied with this first year of the launch of obama care? >> no. first off i am a sports doctor and it is not good enough for us to have a problem and get people back to routine activities. you have to push to the highest level. we have to invest more energy to get what we want in health care today. >> obama care was not a health care proposal. it was an insurance proposal. explain why it was inadequate, and seemed to cost more and provide less? >> quite frankly the focus on the insurance purchase is a distraction for all of us. we have to focus on mission and vision and plant. and have a patient approach and empower all americans and patients to be the best they can be. for example, a trillion dollars spent on hyper tension and obesitty and all we have to do is take a walk or do yoga or your choice, a trillion can make a difference. >> most of our health care system is based on intervention rather than prevention before they get to that point. when i see numbers, 80 per

ofis really an act barbarism, as president obama described it.is clearly an indication that has seen the pain of the u.s. air raids and made them see the first defeat after all the, say, victories they have achieved in the past two months. about the effect of the islamic state on your country, on iraq right now? who is supporting it and who isn't? state islamic something that not only iraq, but the religion of islam itself hasn't been something like this in 1400 years. i would dare to say, they have their own differences with many other radical movements that the region has witnessed. groupre a very different than anything else that we saw or read about in history. the abnormal situation in the region and the sectarian it, that theto globalization add to it, the internet, social media, the capability to reach people -- all of that gave them a way to spread the and radical thoughts. what is it doing to my country? it is killing my country. islam, it is also giving the image of islam that cannot be accepted by any muslim. just a few days ago in sau

julie pace you cover the white house, using that image as barack obama as george w. bush it seems in the closing weeks of the 2014 campaign we thought would be about the economy and obama obamacare, it feels like 2004 when president bush was president. >> when you look at the language the president used when he was at the u.n. last week this say guy who has talked about how even though we have a powerful military we can't fall back at the military. the at the u.n. he says the only language isis understands is the language of force. he calls them a network of death. this language that president barack obama doesn't use that harkens back to axis of evil. he will say and his advisers say this is a different war than the war that bush started but is he looking at military action in the middle east for the last two years of his presidency, that is something he's not going to be happy about. >> let's listen to that. let's listen to that sound bite where the president didn't say axis of evil but you make a key point this is not the barack obama we met in 2008. >> the only la

a lot of people who are the republicans, and those trying to run as outsiders realised attacking obama care gets you so bar. common core is a new bogey man that people can attack and ingrashiate voters to them. that's why it's a new issue. >> they use the term obama core, making the link ben obama care and obama core. for someone like governor jindal, how does he explain his 180 degrees. >> hopefully no one remembers your flip flop. you have a governor in new york saying we need to re-evaluate common core, and rick scott, running in florida, jed bush was in favour of the common core, and rick scott changed his tune. much of this on the ground is not necessarily whether or not the standard work or they don't, it's crafted as a message, a way to get back at washington, and president obama, and that's why the guys have been changing their position. >> it's different from no child is left behind. it doesn't apply the restrigz, the tests process. that's part of the process that is not in common core. i wonder how parents are seeing that. is this a political issue or at the grass roots level

is just one of the many foreign -- foreign-policy challenges facing obama. >> at first glance, it's business as usual for washington. lawmakers are in campaign mode. a closer look reveals something different -- the u.s. is struggling with its role in the world. there's little taste left were being the arsenal of democracy. president obama has pledged to destroy the islamic state militia in the middle east, but the call is somewhat muted. >> not every regional terrorist organization is automatically a threat to us that would call for a major offense if. >> the president's foreign policy is facing criticism, even from within his own party. >> i've learned one thing about this president, and that is he is very cautious. maybe in the since it's too cautious. >> the u.s. looked on for months as i.s. extremists invaded huge swathes of iraq and syria. washington has also kept its distance from the conflict in ukraine. and s china asserts more and more claims to maritime territory, the u.s. has avoided confrontation. >> the u.s. can no longer be the world's policeman. there is no appetite for a repeat

as you and i both know, why haven't we struck them? >> well those all have different reasons behind them, but i agree with you with mexico. president obamawe want this guy back now. he has not made that phone call. as far as what's happening in the middle east, i do thinkit important to stand pick up noarnd it's also important to get our arab countries in with us. we've only got tief. and i don't know if turkey joins the fight. if they don't, hard to see that we don't do anything to slightly degrade isis. i think the president's goal of defeating isis won't happen. not without boots on the ground. no one else is capable or willing. >> as i said, very far people believe the president when he says that. very few people believe the president when he says anything because of his track record frankly. it's a matter of facts. so what do we do? >> well, what concerns me we're now in a position where he talks about destroying and defeating them. that's a good goal. how are you going to do it. some of these boots have to go on the ground. it's not ours. i met a number of the leaders this week and they dodge. none of them are going to commit to gr

politically speaking, it comes as the general assembly is convening in new york and president obama has already stated that a key reason for going this year is to work the sidelines, continue his efforts to build as big as possible anti-isis coalition. so these strikes will be a clear message to those fence sitters of u.s. seriousness and intent as president obama seeks out more international support. >> we know the u.s. informed the syrian representative about the airstrikes. where does bashar al assad, the president fall into this equation? >> apparently that did happen. the syrian foreign minister did confirm that the syrian representative to the united nations was informed by the american side before the airstrikes. and that isis would be targeted elsewhere. washington has said it would not coordinate any military operations with the assad regime, it did not want to give assad that kind of credibility because of course, america sees assad as an illegitimate power there. but it sounds like this was a simple phone call by the americans through the intermediator of the foreign ministry

now, this all happened as president obama arrived in the estonia capital of tallinn where he said the baltic states, that they can count on nato's protection against potential russian aggression. estonia is a nato member. the country's president asked the organization to establish a permanent base there. president obama said the world needs to stand behind ukraine and its economy. here what he had to say about the ongoing crisis and that reported cease-fire a short time ago. >> it is too early to tell what the cease-fire -- the cease-fire means. we haven't seen any details, we just have seen a couple of wire reports. we have consistently supported the effort of president poroshenko to achieve a meaningful cease-fire that could lead to a political settlement of the conflict. so far it hasn't helped. either because russia has not been serious about it, or has pretended it is not controlling the separatists, and the separatists, when they thought it was to their advantage, have not abided by the cease-fire. so we have not seen a lot of follow-up on so-called announced cease-fires. having

. >> president obama will meet with congressional leaders as he plans to make his case public on howe plans to defeat isis. >> good morning. it is tuesday morning. a check of the accuweather forecast with meteorologist, david murphy. hi, david. >> guys, we have some cloud cover tonight. of course we are this morning we did have some showers late yesterday and a couple sprinkles that passed through. most of the rain associated with that coastal system appears to be off the coast. we'll allow for a little bit to begin building back into today. 68 degrees in philadelphia right now beneath mainly cloudy skies. 57 degrees in allentown, a bit cooler up in the lehigh valley. 64 in reading and 72's down by the shore in sea isle and atlantic city. as you're catching the school bus this morning or just get that car started very similar to yesterday. a lot of clouds, a light breeze possible and temperatures between 66 and 68 as we move between 6::and 8 o'clock this morning. as we go into the afternoon look for mainly cloudy skies. it's going to be another one of those days where you have a bett

obama care. we've talked about this before. jobs as well as money. >> yeah. jobs, whether it's that or surcharges, what they're doing is they're exposing the oxymoron that is political compassion. we want to see more of this. people need to know that obama care comes with a cost in terms of higher unemployment. it comes with a cost in terms of higher restaurant bills. even if they're doing it to pmae ate their liberal customers, it's going to become fire on them. >> e-mailedon friedman says there's no such thing as a free lunch. in this case both a lunch and a health care have a cost. >> yeah. john, that's right in that sense. we should see more of it. years ago when con-ed in new york, the utility, tried to break out all the taxes they paid, the legislature banned them from doing it. break out these embedded costs and see what is the real thing you're getting and how much you are paying for government. >> i see rick unger shaking his head. >> all due respect to my good friends on the panel. you are paying $40 for a steak at these restaurants. are you going to

>> just as obama announced his plan to send 30,000 people to africa to fight ebola and he plans to send 1,000 hypodermic needles to iraq to fight isis. you get it? >> no, i didn't get it. >> he's sending 3,000 troops to africa, he's got 1,600 troops fighting isis, sflihe asked for0 million to fight isis. so it's double on both. they're double lay concerned by the number of troops on the ground, troops on the ground, not boots, and the amount of money they're asking for. how can you compare the two of those? >> you're looking at some way to take a shot out of isis. >> here's what i would like him to do, i would like him to step up and say, we're doing everything we can to stamp out isis, it could be a pandemic, and we're going to do everything we can. but let's focus on the most pressing thing to the united states in my opinion, the most dangerous thing to the united states right now is terrorism. >> you can't do two things at one time. >> it is, and it's dismaying that one seems to be more better funded or better funded than the other. but i want to ask you, could it spread here? there'

as president obama promised a heavier round of attacks, i.s.i.s. escalated its threats to america, in anticipation of what did happen tonight. as i.s.i.s. turned up the tempo on its propaganda machine today, with new videos of its military-like formations, and dire threats to american civilians, u.s. officials revealed details of a promised crackdown on westerners who want to join i.s.i.s. or already have, like these britons who appeared in a new video today. >> we are working closely with our international partners to mitigate this threat. keep eyes on these individuals and monitor their movements. >> reporter: u.s. officials said today, efforts to shut down the jihad pipeline to i.s.i.s., will focus on boston, minneapolis, and los angeles. cities that have already sent a number of young recruits to i.s.i.s. basic training. the kind of young men and women, seen in this latest video, parading in uniform, with brand-new ak-47s. the urgency of the coming white house push against i.s.i.s., was underscored today by one of the terror group's weekend prop

i think it's more he's scene as obama's guy and he didn't like obama. >> didn't like obama or obama'sicy. i don't have any problems with about obama, but i got a lot of problems with his policies. >> i think there's legitimate ways to go about this criticism, but i think it's legitimate political criticism. but there are people especially on the far right, you go back to the whole argument of is he muslim. is health care going to leede us to damnation? that's a bit much. and it leads people, especially black people to bhaily sensitive. why is there stuff harsh criticism directed at this president and this attorney general. >> was there harsh criticism i seem to remember against george bush and john ashcroft, maybe i'm missing something there. >> there is a reason why eric holder is the least popular member of the administration. about 20% approval, and it has absolutely nothing to do with race, it has to do with his policies. if anything it has to do with race, he's pushing race in the face of americans, he's calling them racial cowards, he's the one that's using race, as juan said to

the same time, and iraq first or an iraq only approach won't work. >> obama described the mission to degrade and destroy islamic state as a counter terrorism effort, not an all out war, like the ones that twice defeated sadaam hussein, also with allied support. it took the u.s. just a few weeks to declare victory then, obama has effectively left this campaign open-ended. he didn't say anything about a time here, that was wise. people would hold him to it. >> as public opinion has fallen sharply in favor of striking back at the islamic state, obama's ratings falling. >> joining us now, michael kay, former advisor to the british ministry of defense, now a foreign policy and economics correspondent here in new york. also with us is jami, a senior staff writer for us here at aljazeera america and has reported extensively on the middle east. michael, your reaction to the brutal murder of david haynes. >> yet another despicable act of violence by isis. my thoughts and prayers are with his family at this time, who are incredibly courageous and strong. as hard as it is not to be dragged by the enotion into what happens next, we

this is not necessarily turning into an election about barack obama. as some republicans thought it would, and a lot of us thought it would. a lot of this is how it's playing out locally and foreign policy has not been something that plays in states as other issues. this is an area where the president is weak and you can expect the republicans to pounce. >> this could possibly become an election issue. the president told the lawmakers he doesn't need their authority. that's almost like saying you don't want to take a tough vote before the election, that's fine, don't do it. >> it would neutralize the subject if he were to say that he was going to go to congress. i spoke with one one congressman today who tell me they do not expect him to seek consultation from congress. more people than we generally see are thinking well maybe the president is going to consult us. i wouldn't count on that. again, that's something that he could do that would gain him a little campaign currents. >> you talked about the approval rating but low in the grand scheme of things,

obama is here. inevitably the issue of isis and the latest killing there of american journalists, that's going to be high on the agenda. those gruesome images and videos surfacing asresident obama was making his way on air force one to estonia. he hasn't commented on them yet and the issue yet, but the expectation is he will later on. he'll have a meeting with the estonian president. after that there will be a joint news conference where if he doesn't make remarks about isis initially, he almost certainly will be asked about that situation and his response to that apparent killing of the u.s. journalist. >> and just on your knowledge of the kremlin and russian media, what's your interpretation of this interfax report saying that putin has spoken to his counterpart in ukraine and said everything is pretty much resolved. what are your thoughts on that? >> i think what was actually said in that conversation is that some of the ideas that president poroshenko of ukraine had were essentially shared whi by vladimir putin. that's been widely interpreted as a positive step in terms of forging a deal to bring a cease-fire to the crisis, to the ongoing security situation in

for her. >> you know, i'll say that... so the acceptance-- the coming to love and find michelle obama as iconic-- in one part helps to heal that anxiety i was talking about, but if we go back to cathy cohen's push, it's also to say, "okay, so the acceptance of michelle obama still ends up marginalizing other folks." so my mother, who's retired and lives in the home with me and helps raise my daughter, loves the obama family mostly because mama robinson is part of the obama family, and she was like, "yes, they have a grammy, too," right? >> hinojosa: who's living with them, yes! >> who's living with them; who's helping. she was like, "i could give her all kinds of advice." that said... and so she goes, "we're just like the obamas." and then i say, "well, mom, no we're not, because i'm a single parent. so we're just like the obamas, but we're not." so there's this way that as wonderful as it is-- this acceptance of the obama girls, this acceptance of michelle-- it still has the impact of marginalizing, for example, the fact that a majority of african-american children are being raised by..

the cease fire comes just as president obama visits estonia in a show of solidarity with nato allieswho are concerned about russia's moves in the region. nato is scheduled to meet about the ukraine crisis this week, and the european union was expected to vote on further sanctions against russia tomorrow. a second american journal.ist was beheaded by "isis" terrorists. andrew spencer reports on the latest crisis, and what is being said and done about it. >> the killing of another american journalist brings even more western attention. >> he was my hero. traveling to the most dangerous public places on the planet to he could report the story of human suffering. >> islamic state militants took american hostages. u.s. lawmakers to need to call for more action. some criticizing the president's approach. >> this only brings home the nature of the enemy we are facing and the scope. >> others stressed the u.s. cannot handle the group on its own. >> those who have been letting them across our border for a long time including the turks and the saudis who have been looking the other way will ma

he has a piece today on the commitments on three fronts, as obama's foreign-policy. great to be back with you. here's what you say, vowing in estonia to help for as long as necessary. president obama has now committed the united states to three major protections of its power. asia, a more muscular presence than europe, and a new battle against islamist extremists that seems very likely to accelerate. give me a sense of how these things impact the presidency at this time. >> charlie, there are two or three ways that this will affect his presidency and his legacy as he enters the last two years of his term in office. the first is he had hoped and said repeatedly that the withdraw from iraq and afghanistan would allow for what he called was nationbuilding at home. we would free up resources that we could spend here. that was a theme of his 2008 and 2012 campaign. what we have discovered in the time he was getting ready to shrink the pentagon budget, he has three major adversaries he has to deal with, more in some ways. the rise of china has left him with no choice but t

the video 'release comes as president obama begins a trip overseas.0 national correspondent tracie potts reports from washington. >> reporter: the pentauon will switch units in and out of iraq resulting in 350 more troops to protect our embassy there. while the u.s. quickly went after al shabaab militants, there's no decision on air strikes against isis in syria. >> we'll be clear, the geography is not going to limit our options. >> reporter: the news comes after the news that isis beheaded another journalist, steven sotloff. >> this macs it kes it increasi clear. >> the united states tried to rescue mr. sotloff. >> reporter: they consider the obama administration of dragging its feet. >> we want to make sure isis never lives long enough to never use the ransom money. >> reporter: baltic nations, the u.s. will help protect them from russia. next stop, the nato sum knit wales where the president and his team are trying to gauge what other countries will do to stop isis. >> we want partner nations to contribute what they are able and willing to contribu

in the spring of 2009 obama's team gathered as it often did in white house counsel greg craig, would corner office on the second floor of the west wing. in lunchtime session's low small set of senior aides typically shuffled through paperwork, as many as 15 job candidates. on this day one name conjured such searing memories from the campaign trail that its that out from the others to push on marshall. the west wing group considered marshallese staunch hillary loyalists, to be an enemy combatants. like many of the women who surround hillary marshall is grateful, disciplined and a brunette with a short hair cut and highlights, have croatian and have mexican marshall who favors rigorous workouts when swayback with the clintons. marshall had been one of hillary's closest confidants in washington since becoming the youngest white house secretary in memory following bill's 1992 campaign. when hillary was in june 2008, she entrusted marshall with running her political action committee at a time when some democrats fear hillary might make a final play for the nomination at the convention. ba

what stands out is very clearly as the title of the video tells us it was a message to the united states and the fellow with the knife was directly addressing president obama. it's quite striking how direct this is as a message to the american government and maybe to the arican people, these guys the islamic state guys, isis and other groups before and others, dozens and dozens of these groups they are clear about what they're doing. there's nothing ambiguous. there is nothing that is unclear. they want to create in their view a perfect islamic society. most muslims think these guys are nuts, barbaric, extremists and dangerous. the overwhelming majority of muslims in the islamic world have rejected them their appeal doesn't resonate with anybody except for the small numbers of outcasts and weirdos who follow them. so we have to be really careful about not overexaggerating who they are and what they represent. they are terrible in they do in their beheadings which have gone on for 10, 15 years. we have had them in pakistan and afghanistan and the region. the message is clear, you bomb us, we kill you. this is a very difficult process to change or to stop us

and as time goes, more and more information comes out. president obama was asked directly by little o'reilly was there any corruption in the irs scandal. he said not a smidgeon. president obama said obama care won't cost the american taxpayers a dime. he wasn't lying there either, because it's going to end up costing a trillion dollars, the games they play to try to cover up all the scandals and the lies they're perpetrating. the poor american public says why is fox reporting that -- you're right, they didn't have to dpi that day. >> i want to touch on the media stuff. i talked to bob earlier when he asked me, did you get krauthammer on tape when he saw this? >> i have been waiting for this. thank god we got him back finally. >> it takes a while. actually krauthammer and hayes discussing the media coverage on special report. >> the media aren't curious, nobody's asking why, it's a sleeper story, but once you get people under oath, you're going to get stuff coming in, this happened as maxwell is saying, then this is really serious. this is a cover-up. >>

this as president obama flies to estonia this afternoon. that former soviet state is worried about a russian takeover. from there, it's on to the nato summit in wales where the u.s., the uk and others are expected to discuss air strikes to defeat isis militants in syria. >> military assets, germany has already announced it will be selling weapons to those who are trying to oppose the isis forces. >> reporter: the u.s. is already going after isis in iraq. this pentagon video shows the latest humanitarian air drops there. some lawmakers say they're willing to come back to washington early to give president obama authority to expand air strikes. >> it's our duty and our constitutional responsibility to debate and to vote on any measures that would expand this war. >> reporter: but the push into syria is on hold for now. the president's critics hope he'll take a stronger stance like the british. >> we need a firm security response with a military action to go after terrorists. >> reporter: the uk, ready to go. the u.s., waiting for more countri

president obama saying there as we just heard, a very rare thing to have such a high level of representation on the united nations security council, and obama hailing the unanimous passing of that resolution, which is designed to impose new obligations on countries to stop the flow of foreign fighters to and from conflict stones like the ones we see in iraq and syria at the moment. current estimates that there are well about 10,000 fighters currently engaged in the conflict in syria and iraq, a large number of westerners also with western passports, so this is a huge concern for western countries. this new resolution a blight is countries to adapt their domestic law to prevent foreign fighters from traveling around to and from these kinds of conflicts. >> that's just one aspect of the right against i.s. stopping domestically the flow of fighters to domestic regions of syria and iraq. the president today also looking for support for his military coalition. what's it looking like theire? >> that's right. one more coury looks set to be signing up for taking part in over iraq. david cameron, pri

an iraq only approach will not work. >>> obama described the emission to degrade and destroy the islamic state as a counterterrorism effort, not an all-outer war, like the ones that defeated saddam hussein, also with allied support. it took the u.s. a few weeks to declare victory then, obrsh effectively -- obama effectively left this campaign open-ended. >> he did not say anything about a time frame. that's wide. if he said "we'll do it in a year, two years", he would have been held to it. >> obama's foreign policy ratings have fallen lower than the overall rating, a painful dilemma for a pledge to undo predecessors failed commitments overseas. >> let's take a deeper look. joining us, michael kay a retired colonel and advisor to the british ministry of defense. he's a foreign policy and economics correspondent in new york. also, jamie, a senior staff writer at al jazeera america and reported on the middle east. great to have you both with us. michael, your reaction to the brutal murder of david haines. >> yes, it's a despicable act of violence by i.s., and my thoughts and prayers are with mr hain

the final times writes, "obama's isolation deepens over isis as the support split over isis." while the pittsburgh post gazette says white house divided on use of troops against islamist state. "the washington post," skepticism of obama's plan. and you heard that right here on the program last night. press secretary josh earnest was asked about that last one this morning. and listen to his response. >> the president listens very carefully to the advice he gets from his military commanders. >> -- there's skepticism of the president's plan. >> the headline's wrong. all they do is misinterpret chairman dempsey's testimony. and the rest of the time they essentially they quote people who are either frequent critics who supported the previous iraq conflict. so the more accurate headline would be supporters of the bush war in iraq criticizing president obama's strategy. >> mr. earnest says the president listens carefully to his military advisors but shared with us by retired four-star general jack keane. in 2009 president obama rejected a recommendation for a 40,000 strong force in af

and as president obama has made clear, isil's leaders have threatened america and our allies. if left unchecked, isil will directly threaten our homeland and our allies. in his address to the nation last week, president obama announced that the united states will lead a broad multinational coalition to roll back isil's threat and defeat isil. more than 40 nations have already expressed their willingness to participate in this effort and more than 30 nations have indicated their readiness to offer military support. president obama and vice president biden, secretary kerry and i and others are working to you unite and expand this coalition. at the nato summit in wales, there was a meeting of key partners. and i then went to georgia and turkey as you yu you noted. gorg georgians made clear they would help. turkey, indispensable member of play toe from tnato, wep)>s chash notthe chair notes th is a disturbance of the committee hearings. well be in order. the committee will stand in recess until capitol police can re

as they seek to put pressure on obama to stop the air strikes that have already been carried out in iraq the amnesty has just put out, as i said, a horrifying catalog of its crimes. calling what it's done, turned iraq and syria into a blood-soaked field. so these are people who are the not just populated by fanatics, these religious crazies, but they also have a much more sinister and much more ominous component. that is, a very bureaucratic hierarc hierarchy. those who have dealt with researching isis and done their best to figure out who exactly they are see they are not all religious fanatics. they are people who have come from, to a large extent, at least in the hierarchy, saddam hussein's former baath party, former military commanders. there is a very clear structure of command. and talking about, you know, those in charge of isis finances, isis propaganda, isis logistics, isis battlefield strategy. all of that is very, very clear. these are not just insurgents as isis' predecessor, aqi, al qaeda in iraq, was during the bad days of 2004, until the surge under bush and petraeus defea
