i'm joined now by retired air force colonel cedric lleyton and by civil rights activist, professor andr alan dershowitz. colonel, first to you, it was astounding to hear some of the news about the new organization that's being targeted alongside isis and to some, it's still astounding that this kind of action can take place given the fact that this is not directly related to 9/11, which was the last authorization that the congress gave. how do you reconcile this? >> well, ashleigh, i think it's going to be difficult to reconcile those from a legal standpoint. i'll let professor dershowitz talk about those aspects. but i think that in this particular case what the president has done is basically used the authorizations that were in effect in 2001 and extended those to this particular situation. so you can make the argument, in particular with khorasan, that it is an offshoot of al qaeda, there's a direct lineal descent between khorasan and al qaeda in core in pakistan. and that's the al zawahiri group. that's what the administration has been using in order to say, okay, we can go forwar

cedric layton is a former air force colonel and a former member from the joint chiefs of staff. he joins us from washington, d.c. welcome. >> good t to be with you. >> is the united states headed to war? >> well, it certainly looks like there's going to be some degree of conflict here. and i know the term war has caused a degree of consternation within the administration and they finally basically said that this is what we're doing against the islamic state. so i think the answer is, it will probably be some kind of a limited conflict. but for the people on the ground, the people that are actually dealing with the actual combat, it is war and it will seem like a war and it will actually be a war. >> why won't the administration call it war? >> well, they have had some i guess we'll call them linguistic difficulties with the term. they look at war from the standpoint of is this a major world war ii like confrontation? or is it more like a police action or more like a counterterrorism operation? so when you look at what they've actually done and what we're actually going about doi

let's bring in retired air force colonel cedric layton. are a strategic war analyst so help me understand something -- how is this not war? what we're about to do, and have already started doing, against this group? >> well, chris, good morning. it's a really hard to define it as not being a war. because for example, take a look at korea. we don't talk about the korean police action, we talk about the korean war back in the early 1950s. so what you're looking at here is a form of conflict. the difference is is that counterterrorism operations used to be done completely in the shadows. but in recent years, especially under this administration, what we've decided to do as a nation, or at least the administration has decided to do is to bring these counterterrorism operations to the forefront and publicize them more than was the case in the past. >> this is a big headline, because the reason for battle fatigue among united states citizens isn't because they're afraid to fight or afraid to sacrifice, nobody has down it the way the u.s. has in
