and british transport planes. parachute drops. they're able to see that that material is from these higher altitude planes safely to a very large extent getting to the people on the ground. one of the things ben rhodes said that is so interesting, he said, there will be no reintroduction of u.s. combat forces into iraq. that is essentially what president obama's pledge has been. no reintroduction into a combat role. that's a pretty significant choice of words there. they're not looking to go back into offensive combat operations. if combat comes to them through this humanitarian mission if they get attacked by isis, they certainly do have the right to defend themselves. will there be boots on the ground? there are already boots on the ground. some 900 u.s. personnel in iraq doing a variety of missions. what we know is that they are assessing two options. land and air. to try and get these people out of there. there are already b-22 military aircraft nearby in erbil. there's every expectation some of these personnel will go to that

we see the british aid loaded for transport to iraq. british foreign secretary phil hammond says his government will provide $13 million in humanitarian aid. >> the wider the humanitarian effort can be the better. the more support we have both in terms of the quantity of humanitarian aid that can be delivered but also around the political message that it sends that the world is horrified on what is going on in iraq and termed to provide all the support it can. >> the u.s. president said hi country's air strikes will be a long-term project but he insists no u.s. ground troops will be returning to iraq. we get details from cnn erin pike. >> as the first family begins the martha's vineyard vacation, president obama is refusing to set a timetable for how long u.s. military action in iraq will need to continue. >> i don't think we will solve this problem in weeks. i think this will take some time. >> reporter: u.s. air strikes destroyed some isis arms and equipment, hoping to stop the militants' advance on the city of erbil. and they have dro

here we see british aid being loaded for transport to iraq. mond says his government will provide more than $13 million in humanitarian aid. >> the wider the humanitarian effort can be, the better. the more support we have. the better both in terms simply of the quantity of humanitarian aid that can be delivered but also around the political message that it sends. that the world is horrified about what is going on in iraq and is determined to provide all the support it can. >>> let's return to the crisis in gaza. palestinian negotiators are saying they are prepared to leave cairo and go home if the israelis do not return to talks in the next day. >> although israel says it has ended its ground incursion of gaza, it still has plenty of firepower amassed near the border. there have been relatively fewer attacks by both sides in the past couple of days, but there are also fears that won't be the case if talks completely collapse. >> let's go now to senior international correspondent sara sidner standing by live from jerusalem. >> we have just hear

british government will transport military supplies provided by other countries to kurdish forces resisting fighters from the group calling itself islamic state. >>> in our other top story, human rights watch says egyptian forces are guilty of crimes against humanity. a year ago this week, the egyptian police and army moved into the square to clear supporters of ousted president morsi. in a new report human rights watch says more than 100 people died in just six weeks. it calls for an international inquiry and for senior leaders to be investigated including the current president, sisi, who was defensive minister at the time. >> it's time for the international community to step up. there are three recommendations we list here, and the first is a commission of inquiry at the u.n. council. we're doing this press conference from geneva, because it's time for geneva to ask. 27 countries underscored the importance of accountability. i think even those that are supportive of the government at this point would tell you the excuses have run out. it was first it's instability. there's no elections. t

the british government indicates it will send transport helicopters to the region to help with the evacuation. officials in france now say they're sending weapons to kurdish fighters. and australia's prime minister said he's open to the possibility of sending a combat force to help rescue refugees. all of this as the political drama plays out now in baghdad. iraq's current prime minister nuri al maliki refuses to leave office despite the advance from the west and despite the will of the people. a car bomb exploded near the checkpoint of a home iraq see elected to take nuri al maliki's place. so we have team fox coverage. greg palkot in erbil. the white house insists they won't engage in any combat. >> well, shepard there are 129 u.s. marines and special operators who arrived in erbille yesterday to assess thousand rescue the people stuck on that mountain. all of them are on, as well as the 864 currently in iraq. those marines came in 3-22 ospreys. ospreys could be used as part of the airlift for the yazidis if an airlift is decided upon. there are other u.s. efforts that have been positioned

british it can bank which is. well good to see. this month show bush just transports gets a facelift a new cutting board he makes the most of the sun in this on this science flourishes in tomsk and we check out some fun carlos a. technology some day cheer on r.g.p. we've done the future cover. shoot grid lumber tour to mccurry was able to build a new most sophisticated robot. to give a darn about anything mission to teach me the creation of why you should care about humans in the world this is why you should care only on the dot com. the try to. people are going to. feel like. it's a sure thing every minute. of. our law oh well. my own life but. these cases eat. sometimes for nothing. it's. still just keep still can still be just if you see a stage eight look to be. but each other that's. when we come to talk about addiction to cigarettes we understand quite clearly that there is either smoking or not smoking we believe completely that abstinence. can't quite understand why we don't have the same belief or drugs or alcohol to me the only way to productively dependency

the united states, the french are saying they are going to give arms, the british are considering it and helping by transporting jordanian equipment. all this has changed and what kind of a difference has it made? >> absolutely, what has been making the difference is the air strikes, although they are limited and we have been asking for more. the plead came from when you had tens of thousands of yazidi minority kurdish community that were stuck on the mt. sinjar and they couldn't get off. the babies were dying. people were dying. there was no water. there was no food. and they were stuck and stranded on that mountain and that's where the call came into. on top of there you've had a huge influx of these i.dps headed towards kurdistan where kurdistan was inundated by refugees. there was a two way call to international community, one to come and help us repel i.s.i.s. and stop these advances and two, to come in and help us and rescue some of these stranded refugees or idps on that mountain. >> what's next in terms of kurdish needs? the u.s. is going ocontinue to provide air support but as you said before you're go

british ports, warehouses and the internal transportation systems are already overburdened in the ukhe 3 million americans who are gathering there pouring into britain for the normandy operation. they cannot take a few hundred thousand more americans. and as churchill pointed out ad nauseam, the russians would have been very unhappy had the allied force in the mediterranean remained idle after the summer of 1943. well let's give the last word to ernie pyle. he is in the mediterranean the whole time. and he's heartsick the whole time. can you tell? ernie pyle wrote this: few of us can ever kwon jury up any truly fond memories of the italian campaign. i looked at it this way, if by having a small army in italy we've been able to build up more force s in england and if by sacrificing a few thousand lives we would save 500,000 lives in europe. if those things were true, then it was best as it was. i wasn't sure they were true. i only knew that hi to look at it that way or else i couldn't bear to think of it at all. thank you so much, i look forward to your questions.

>> we had to transport all of our material through the british blo blockade and a great division rosen the cabinet. the military side of the cabinet insisted that 10 or 12 millions or 10 million starving belgiums would inconvenience the germans a lot and that it might bring the war to a quicker end. he was then prime minister were all on my side. i pushed the issue even further. five million a month. in the end i was receiving 10 or 12 million a month from the british. >> you may have inversely answered a question that was in my mind but what do you think of the policy of starvation as an instrument of warfare? >> it may be an instrument of warfare. it might bring war to an earlier end. starvation leads the massive human beings that are a liebl liability. >> your work in belgium relief did not end? >> no. the belgium relief continues throughout war, and i continued to conduct it. at that time the british and french were beginning to find difficulties and they began to call on me for advice. about that time president wilson asked me to take over the united states food administration. i

we heard today the british prime minister has confirmed britain is going to transport some munitions to fight the islamic state fighters. do you think the kind of help that has been announced will be enough to help the kurdish fighters against the islamic state group? >> what we need is a concerted effort. the airlift. the air drops of aid and the airstrikes by the americans, these are all very welcome and vital. vital in the fight against the islamic state, and vital in helping and can youing the revenges. but they're not really the ultimate answer. what we need on a much bigger scale like in 1991 where a safe haven wa. >> do they need to put boots on the ground? >> there were a few people in iraqi kurdistan at the time but really very, very few. we're not asking for boots on the ground. we're asking for much stronger airstrikes. we're asking for weaponry and we're asking for a much more concerted effort to look after all the refugees. there were about two refugees all over kurdistan. what are we going to do with them. >> we heard from from some that world leaders will run up to the

american c-17 and c-130 transport planes, dropped -- who had been trapped and besieged by isis for two months. british, french and australian aircraft helped with the humanitarian air lift, as forces evacuated the nearly 15,000 residents there. the powerful senate and house intelligence committees took issue with the idea that the president's national security team has not presented the president with options for a strategy to defeat isis. >>> the crisis did not start with the beheading of an american. it's very late in the game. and so it presents few options. we had really good options. >> i have learned one thing about this president and that is he's very cautious. maybe in this instance, too cautious. i do know that the military, i know that the state department, i know that others have been putting plans together. and so hopefully, those plans will coalesce into a strategy. >> u.s. surveillance drones began flying four the first time this week, gathering intelligence and mapping possible isis targets in sere yacha, until -- the president has made no decision to target isis bases and supply lines

>> we had to transport all of our materials through the british blockade, and a great division rode in the british cabinet as to the military desirability of our going on. the military side of the cabinet insisted that 10 or 12 million starving frenchmen would inconvenience the germans a lot and it might bring the war to a quicker end. that was their argument. i was called before the cabinet and i found in a short time that sir edward gray and lloyd george the prime minister, were all on my side. so i pushed the issue even further and ultimately i got a subsidy of $5 million a month out of the british to carry on the work and in the end, before we were done with four years of it, i was receiving $10 or $12 million a month from the british. >> you may have inversely answered a question that is in my mind, mr. hoover, but may i ask at this point, what do you think of the policy of starvation as an instrument of warfare? >> well, it may be an instrument of warfare. it might conceivably bring war to an earlier end. but starvation leaves a mass of human beings that are a liability to the wo

two days before the british ordered the commandant his navy clerk to get hold of transport to take 124 barrels of gunpowder out of the navy yard to the safety of virginia. georgetown where he saw a wagon outside a store. he told the owners he was impounding it for the department of the navy. this is wartime. some citizens who might normally have buckled under to bureaucratic pressure bristled when the power possessors, chasing off the officials with abuse and profanities. this is what happened. in a chronicle written two weeks after the departure of the british, he described what happened next. it has my fingerprints all over it at the national archives. i dismounted and followed them into the store with a made use of such lane which agreed into gentlemen. he did not have backup power. he did not get his wagon. booth was one of the last to flee the city before the british arrived. before he did so, he decided to check at the white house to see if anybody was there and get reliable information. when he rode up, he saw an american colonel on horseback near the front door. walkedonel dism

at all times and things such as public transportation for any signs of anything unusual, and then to notify the police, but again we're waiting to hear from british minister david cameron shortly. >> he's expected to speak at any time. erin thank you very much. also on the phone with us, juliet kayem, cnn's national security analyst. juliette, the threat level is at severe. erin went over some of this but what precautions is the british government likely to ask of british citizens and also of, you know, maybe train stations or airports, things like that? >> my guess is that this is or the reason why britain is doing this is they have a lot of people under surveillance, there are increased concerns about what's happening in syria, and it may be that they've lost track of people that they were following because i don't want to say this came out of the blue but it is a height. ed elevation that would come from likely intelligence that they may have lost, which is a clue that a cell or a group of people may have gone underground to attack. so what they're going to do now is ask for increased vigilance of the british in terms of, in particular communi

british people. they say 500 or so britains traveled to this conflict zone, may have come back. britain sees it as much more direct europe, much closer, transportation in and out of europe, much closer to people with jihad intent can move around very easily. there are some restrictions in place, of course, but the worry is it's not enough, so they are taking these steps. the u.s., officials will tell you they do not see a direct threat to the homeland at this point. they don't think. that's what isis has on its mind. they do have concerns that there is the loan wolf scenario out there. there are about 100 americans that traveled to syria and iraq to fight there with militant groups, maybe a dozen or so that joined up with isis being tracked closely by u.s. law enforcement. a lot of concern they could return home, that they could conduct loan wolf attacks here. right now, no specific information, we're told. >> that's right. isis is an organization but islamic extremism is an ideology. we're going into a travel weekend, do officials have more heightened concerns than normal? >> it's interesting. labor day weekend and very rapidly this country comes u

yesterday the british daily telegraph reported on australian terrorists, a son holding up a severed head. we'll have a lot of these characters out moving in the international transportation system. we're going to have to sort out how in accordance with the law are we going to deal with them. so i'm actually pretty proud of what the brits have done, at least stepping up to it publicly saying we've got a strategy and we're going to take action. >> what about what we should do here forward, general? you heard what the president said yesterday. certainly taking a lot of heat for this "no strategy "a comment, though i'm sure he'd like to have those words back. what should our strat yi egy be? >> part mp the reasons he's taking heat. we had secretary hagel and chairman of the jgs saying the worst we've seen in ten years. they're coming to get us. i thought a was a little over the top. so far isis is a terrible threat to anyone that lives in lebanon, syria or iraq. and less so of a threat to the united states. so you know, if the threat levels is as high as secretary hagel seemed to imply, then we better generate a coherent strategy, primarily built around intelligence, cia act

british toward madison were so great that any regret was overshadowed by the hope that this would force the united states to make a quick piece. , who had been locked in this incredible struggle with transport two decades at this point, the u.s. declaration of war in 1812 against ray britton was just an act of enormous treachery. they felt they were trying to world, save civilization from napoleon. for the united states to stab them in the back was an unforgivable act. for the first two years of the war, they were tied up with the fight with napoleon, but when theywar seemed to be over, had more forces to send over. there was certainly an element that flowed through the mind of many of the soldiers and sailors that marched into washington 200 years ago. anybody who listens to the star-spangled banner or that it has to understand this first verse that we all sing at baseball games, you listen to during the super bowl -- you always have to remember that that verse ends in a quest ion mark, because he really did not know what the future was going to hold for the united states at that moment. >> each week american history tv sits in on a lecture with one of the nation's college professors. you
