gone to congress on this, and congress is keeping its mouth shut disgustingly because they want to cya themselves, they don't want to have to put an i vote into bombing when they're going into a midterm election. i think the dod had plans to bomb and they saw this iminnocent threat for a long time. i think this is a fortuitous threat for president obama. he gave them the wink wink, but i think he got the last minute heads up. i think the minute dod thought they could strike, they struck. >> i guess al qaeda is not on the run, they actually just had a wardrobe change, because isn't this al qaeda? the lesson i'm getting from this is these guys are going to make bombs out of toothpaste and toiletries and the lesson here is that they only work on one thing, and that is to destroy us. that is their full-time job. we need to create an industry that creates novel ways to obliterate these people. there should be majors in colleges that are based on terror rising terror. we have such pointless majors in college, we have gender studies, you're not going to get a job with gender studies except te

it is a big cya thing. that's why when there's a crime, you don't expect these people to deal with it. >> why would you allow him to stand up there and say basic, we probably could have go gotten it but we didn't get it. >> that's not a deflated football. >> that's what i'm saying, bob, you let the law take over. if someone commit a crime, it goes to the law and don't expect these people 20 be law men, they're not. >> they have processes, all these leagues do. >> i don't think they should have processes. they don't do any good. we know they're covering their butt all the time. >> the problem is they do have a process, the only time they came to a conclusion about a more sfrikt process is when tmz had the guts to take on the nfl. if it wasn't for tmz, we wouldn't be having this conversation. the nfl wants to keep all the money in its pocket. money is at the crux of all of this. >> you see what we have just set up right here? we have on one hand, tmz says we think the nfl jose seen the video. the nfl says we

they're selling books in a cya monday morning quarterback mode because they were there back then anderstand we couldn't identify whether or not those syrian rebels were really rebels or growing into terrorists. now, we are able to do that and may have a different situation. there was no win in giving arms to people who then might turn and use them against the usa. >>> have to agree with you on this one. it's not easy and cut and dried to arm people. we tried it in iraq and they all ran away and the isis people got all the arms. so i am sympathetic to that you have to understand, juan, president obama looked away from this for a year and now we are in a huge mess. i'm trying to get us out of the mess, mary kathryn, by putting forth what i did in the last segment. we tried to get the two brightest guests we could get, people who havegfl1 years and y of national security experience. nothing either of them said dissuaded me that theçmcñ merce force that could absolutely be developed to rapidly deploy to all terror threats would be a wrong way to go. heat of centcom and telling the public

fyi or cya?th president obama's national security adviser tony blinken. >> our security is challenged by outlaw groups. >> the brutality in syria and iraq forces us to look into the heart of darkness. >> 44 sounding like 43, our political roundtable on the transformation of president barack obama. >>> and -- >> this is one case where really more boots on the ground, more people helping can make a huge difference. >> in the war against ebola, ebola is winning. we're joined by a doctor and a

>> it is cya. they want to make sure the money is still flowing and all about pr, gerri. we know unfortunately people make really bad decisions. and it is also unfortunate for me, as a woman in sports to see that this tape needed to come public for the vast majority of people to understand that domestic violence is such a huge problem among the larger sports world. we should be paying attention, close attention to every domestic violence charge that is levied against professional athletes. this video certainly brought it to the national forefront but the nfl, certainly i expect heads to role, when it is discovered who got the tape. i'm sure they will discover exactly who did receive that and why it wasn't put in front of roger goodell, or if it was put in front of roger goodell, now i think has a strong case to be made. gerri: we've seen this video over and over and over again but you don't often hear it, right? if you did hear it, here is what you can hear. you hear the two rice and janay palmer, married to rice, so janay rice. they shouted obscenities and she appears to

fyi or cya? we'll talk with president obama's national security adviser tony blinken. >> our security is challenged by outlaw groups. >> the brutality in syria and iraq forces us to look into the heart of darkness. >> 44 sounding like 43, our political roundtable on the transformation of president barack obama. >>> and -- >> this is one case where really more boots on the ground, more people helping can make a huge difference. >> in the war against ebola, ebola is winning. we're joined by a doctor and a virus hunter just back from the front lines. this is "state of the union." good morning. we begin with the expanding war on isis, complete with some new video. the latest bulletin from u.s. central command says coalition war planes struck targets near syria's border with turkey, the scene of fighting between kurdish forces and isis. this of course comes in addition to the bombing campaign in iraq and attacks on what central command calls targets of opportunity inside syria. joining me now, former

. >> and it's very -- his answers are extremely narrow and they're extremely sort cya instead of justwe messed up. >> stop, admit responsibility and say what you're going to do to systemically reform the nfl, to reform culture. i mean, this, as you were saying, joe, this is part of the culture of the nfl but i think it's broader than that. it's the culture on campuses with student athletes. it starts very young. th no one stands up to say this is unacceptable. we need leadership on down to colleges, everyday men in life. >> we didn't get it from the nfl, we didn't get it from ravens, we didn't get it from the new jersey d.a. that led rice walk. >>> now, the ranking member of the armed services committee adam smith. also, host of "a drndrea mitche reports," andrea mitchell. what's the armed services committee going to be talking about today? do you think there's going to be wide-ranging support for the president and his plan? >> i think there is going to be wide-ranging support. if you listen to some of the criticism, they focus more on past actions, things that should have been done.
