discuss the very latest earlier matthew hoh he's a former marine and a senior fellow at the center for international policy i first asked him if the series of questions lawmakers asked defense secretary hagel yesterday were justified. more so if there are a few different ways to answer this some of there are legitimate concerns that the white house broke the law by not notifying congress the white house of course things that they didn't need to observe that wall because of the president's constitutional authority as commander in chief there are others who completely crossed the line and were absolutely disgraceful in their entire example insinuating that department offense was somehow keeping bowe bergdahl hostage in germany so that he wouldn't answer quest that he would have to answer any questions and then there are others who were quite sympathetic to bowe bergdahl and to his his family and you know that that's that of course for people like me and others who are compassionate and feel that see. the two of them between her and hate all were guarding bergdahl is returned to the u.s. let's take a listen s

at the center for international policy and michael shank associate director of legislative affairs for the friends committee on national legislation. stephen and michael. exploring the program thank you for. your michel yes michael bring us up to speed what's the latest on the school that's going right so as you mentioned in the preface looks like obama is considering air strikes drone strikes the intel briefing on the senate side had senators coming out saying we're considering it will likely see either military aid or some version of airstrikes drone strikes by no boots on the ground but that's where congress and the administration is right now and stephen your analysis consistent with that yeah i think that's right i think what you're hearing though from a lot of members of congress is a deep level of discomfort with some of the things being talked about you know there wasn't a great outcry back in two thousand and eleven when the u.s. left iraq of people who were bemoaning the fact that we were no longer there militarily than the military defense contractors there was a couple of f

he's now vice president for national security and international policy at the "center for american progress." and james kirchick is a fellow at the "foreign policy initiative," another non-profit policy organization. welcome to both of you. vikram, to you, is this in the best interest of the united states? >> yes, and most importantly in the best interest of bowe bergdahl and his family. when somebody puts on the uniform to fight for america, that's a sacred commitment and obligation. our obligation is to look for those people and bring them home. anybody who has a p.o.w./m.i.a. flag should be cheering for bergdahl and their family and their opportunity to be reunited. >> brown: james? i think everybody should be happy he's coming home, but the circumstances of his being captured in the first place are now very much in question. we have many of the men who served with him saying that he deserted. six people died trying to save him and then, in response to that, we gave up five of the most highly valued terrorists in guantanamo bay. these are not low level men we gave back to the taliban. so

and joining me now is seth jones, from the rand corporation's international security and defense policy center. seth, thanks fortart with these propaganda videos on facebook posted by an isis fighter, chose the interrogation of five captured men in iraq and the execution of one of them. by the accent of the man it seems it's likely he's a foreign fighter. what sort of message are isis fighters trying to send, what can we take away from the videos or is it only intended for an iraqi audience? >> no, i think they've been doing this for some time for multiple audiences. there's an international audience. it's increasingly getting a number of foreign firefighters. they have twitter accounts, internet sites they use. it's partly means of attracting individuals to come fight the good war, the good jihad in iraq and syria for that matter. the other is an internal audience within iraq to demonstrate a domino sense that they've take is cities like mosul and on their way to baghdad. >> you have studied the rise of jihadist fighters and you point in 2013 is, when isis was still affiliated with al qaeda, it led all these a

director at carnegie mellon university center for international relations and politics and research fellow at stanford's institute. and msnbc contributor and foreign policyek." thank you all for being here. let's just senator. did the president weigh out a week goldilocks foreign policy? >> i think it was more of a political speech. i think you arkansas ticklated it much better than he did. he has surrounded himself with the unmost unqualified advisers in foreign policy in international relations that i've seen in recent years, and he's created this -- these advisers, and i don't think it's him. i think it's his fault he hasn't found the right people. he's created this era -- this myth of success around him, there's three examples. one is he cited that russia pulled out because of his sanctions and that's not true. putin all along wanted crimea and he got it. two is that he cited syria and how syrian involvement that he did not get involved because he saw this was a quagmire waiting to happen. well, the only reason we were going to get involved is because of his red line speech. he's the one who put it there. and that actually severely hurt our relations

international airport may be their next target. joining me now is michelle fluornoy, co-founder of the center for new american security and michelle served as undersecretary of defense for policy from 2009 to 2012. michelle, thanks for being here. and i want to start by asking you to follow up on what we just heard from house speaker john boehner, which is that this far into the crisis the white house should have done something. what something could the white house have done at this point? >> i actually think the administration is focused on the most important thinking, which is to engage with all the political parties in iraq, sunni, shia, and kurd, trying to get to a more inclusive government situation. remember why this is happening. this crisis on the ground is happening because prime minister maliki has taken a very sectarian approach to governance, marginalizing the sunni population, and basically creating a situation where they are turning and welcoming in sunni terrorist groups like isis. so the core driver of this is political, and that's where the first area of focus needs to be. and i think the administration is rightly focused there. >> and to your point, this is a
