. >> bill nelson, democrat, democrat from florida saying he wants to introduce legislation authorizing air strikes. >> that's right. sew's got -- he does. but the president does have some problems with more liberal democrats in congress and he also, by the way, has problems with the europeans. i think that the president's strategy has already been, look, if we somehow step back, then everybody will join us in leading together. that burden sharing has never worked for him. unless the united states take a leadership role, whole step forward? >> you hear some of the experts saying, it took ten years to decimate al qaeda. some think it will take 15 or 20 to deal with the isis threat. they do think, number one, first and foremost, he owes the american people. especially since he did say on the question of syria, we don't have a strategy yet. he owes the american people an explanation as soon as he can. yes, there are still some problems on the left but a left center democrat in tough reelection battle in new hampshire, this is now going to play out for better or worse, just inevitable in th

bill nelson. tom brocaw, i shaw you shaking your head on the reliability question. >> i have been covering that part of the world for a long time and certainly since the beginning of this war. i remember when they were trying to organize after they left the bathists go and rearm themselves and create another kind of an army. when general david petraeus was trying to show up. they were trying to show up in the regular uniforms. i said how do we know which of these we can trust? he said we are counting on the others to tell us. that's not what i call a foolproof system for vetting the people who say i want to fight. we are seeing examples of them in iraq in afghanistan and as soon as isis came across the bord border, they collapsed. you don't create an army overnight to fight this well organized militia. they are striking and syria. they are devastating when you watch them on television. a prominent leader is talking with a close friend of mine and said we missed a great opportunity as soon as isis

, bill nelson is saying he will introduce legislation to gift president authority to go after isil in syria or iraq or wherever it may be. it seems like, you know, in many respects the congress is more anxious to get into action here than the president is? >> and that is usually the case on these types of things, yes. and i think, you know, that just signals the fact that someone like bill nelson is willing to come up and do this, signals it will probably pass pretty easily if a plan is presented. there will be questions, is the president going too far? is he not necessarily suggesting enough? is holing back information because he doesn't want to share it with us necessarily? i'm sure there will be concern about that, but generally, yes, if a vote were held tomorrow and the president was seeking general authorization to do this, there probably would be support and probably a lot of pleasure at least on both sides of congress he was seeking it. you know, we'll see. they're back next week. clearly i think there is some sense among some americans he should be responding more forcefully n

that includes florida senator bill nelson, a member of the arm's services committee. senator, thank you for being here. i know steven sotloff was also from your state, florida, and now you're filing new legislation to give president obama explicit authority for air strikes in syria. first of all, do you believe we have the intelligence for that? do we have specific targets to go after right now? >> i think we are because the president started the intelligence flights august the 25th. so it's an accumulation of information so the direct answer to your question is yes. >> bashar al assad in syria have said that going to syria for air strikes means working with him. otherwise, it's a breach of sovereignty. would working with that regime ever be on the table? >> not at this point. it's conceivable some period of time down the road we may. but right now we're going to work with the free syrian army, which is fighting on two fronts. they are fighting the assad regime and then they are also fighting isis. >> and you talk about working with the free syrian army. do you really

for the latest on the american air strikes in syria, i want to go to senator bill nelson in tampa.st briefed at centcom. what did you learn about the strikes thus far? >> general austin and his staff have a plan. they are executing it well. don't be fooled. this is going to take a long, long time. the success against isis is going to depend on coalition partners and just as in your previous segment, the iraqi army has to step up. they can't turn tail and run. >> isis overran an iraqi base in western anbar province around fallujah. 300 soldiers were killed there. reports their calls for help were ignored by their senior leadership. that just has got to raise all sorts of concerns for you about how effective the iraqi military can be even down the road. it's not -- i can't imagine it's that easy to turn around an army this size and actually get them battle ready given the amount of time and the amount of money and equipment that the united states has given them thus far. >> well, the clue was what your previous guest said underneath those political patronage generals are a corps of p

joining me now, florida democratic senator bill nelson, member of the armed services committee. senator, good to see you this morning, thanks. >> thanks, jose. >> you voted in support of the president's plan to arm syrian rebels. you also wanted clarification to the president's authority to launch air strikes. do you believe the revelations, for example, the khorasan group has changed the perspective on what's going on in syria now? >> no, i think that's just another indication of how much of a threat is out there, jose. at the end of the day, we can provide all these air strikes, which i support. but i happen to agree with tom friedman of "the new york times." at the end of the day, this is going to have to be the arab world and the muslim world that are going to have to do this fight on the ground. they're going to have to decide to protect the soul of islam and the arab culture. otherwise, it's going to be taken over by this very radical group, whether it's those that are trying to do harm to us as the khorasan group and isis or isis that is obviously perpetrating all of this

. >> democratic senator bill nelson of florida serves on the armed services committee. senator, you were in that hearing today. i want to get your assessment of how much how valid and strong you think this plan is. the idea is on average we would be training about 5,000, quote/unquote, moderate syrian fighters per year. it would take an estimated 8 to 12 months to prepare each of these moderate syrian rebels be, then trained by the united states. is that a timetable that makes sense to you if the threat of isis is, indeed, urgent? >> you're talking about in syria, remember, it's going on now. we're attacking them as we speak with american boots on the ground in iraq. their advisers, their trainers, but there are going to be and very possibly going with the iraqi ground troops as they actually go into combat. that's going on. the question is, what do we do in syria? i would not -- i would not be surprised if the president doesn't start air strikes fairly soon. the one surprise for me in the hearing today was the fact that it's going to take about a year to train the free

one of them, senator bill nelson of florida, standing by to join us live. there he is. president obama is also asking congress for approval to train local forces including syrian rebel fighters designed all of which to take on isis, but how can the united states trust those that the u.s. teaches will not turn on the u.s.? we'll hear from retired lieutenant general -- a retired army lieutenant gentle who trained iraqi forces. also on this 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks worries of a new terror threat against america. >>> hello. i'm wolf blitzer reporting from washington. he's promised to ultimately destroy isis but how is president obama's plan to take on the terror group being received? and what happens now? the president laid out his strategy for -- in a prime time address last night. among other things he plans to expand air strikes against isis targets in iraq and syria and he wants to arm and train moderate syrian rebels. some are calling the speech an outline of what some are calling the obama foreign policy doctrine. >> i've made it clear we will hunt down te
