retired four-star general and fox news military analyst jack keane says the u.s.'s hands are tied. first, general keane, let me play for you what israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu said on fox news sunday. listen. >> i just want your viewers to imagine the united states being bombarded not in one city or two cities but in every city between new york and colorado. maybe 20% of the united states would be exempt from this, 80% of your citizens would have to be in bomb shelters or ready to go into bomb shelters within a minute to a minute and a half max. >> you've talked about how the public gets numbed to news in the middle east. we've been lirstening to this fr years. it's sometimes hard to tell what's new about today's report from last week, last month, last year. but clearly the point that he is making is that if americans have some empathy for the situation israelis are in, they might feel differently about this. >> i think in general americans do have empathy for the challenges israel faces, but i do believe, as you suggested, that most of our adult lives we've been dealing

. >> and jack keane is here. he is a fox news contributor.. >> good to see you. >> i want to go here. is the possible to device a blue print for the current uprising in iraq and syria? >> absolutely. this is the isis threat. we were talking about the comprehensive threat of islam in general. but isis is a threat to iraq, syria and the entire middle east and eventually europe and the united states and we should be guided by what is our national interest in that, not just by what is right for iraq. our national interest is a stable and secure middle east and providing support to our allies. the way to deal with this threat is to solicit support from those effected. for political support to the sunnis inside iraq so they can reach out and bring them back in to the fold and military assistance. we should quarterback the effort because there is no one else to lead it but we should not be doing it my ourselves. so a comprehensive plan to deal with isis in the long term is conceivable. >> are the allies willing and able to support whatever the u.s.

"it won't work, and it will cost us a tremendous amount in blood and treasure." he saw it as our last best hope and went with it. >> narrator: on january 10, 2007, bush announced the surge. >> good evening. i have committed more than 20,000 additional american troops to iraq. >> that decision at a minimum guaranteed that his presidency would not end with a defeat in history's eyes, that by committing to the surge he was certain to at lea

. >> general jack keane is here, a retired four star general and our fox news analyst.g. >> good morning. >> we have three main groups and tell us the status of each. let's start with the shiite. >> the fact there is fighting against the shiite fighting militia isn't new to iraq. in 2008, the army had to fight the radicals all through 2008. they were trained in iran and in other areas in iraq. this is a radical cleric they are fighting which is a shrine site. he is anti-government and ant anti-eye tolla. it ads to the complications of iraq. i don't think it is too significant. >> then you have the sunnis. >> they are disinfranchised from the government and military and police. and the fact of the matter is that led to the speed and size of this crisis. isis is driving it but the sunni tribes have assisted them. we have to reach out to the sunni tribes and many are reconcilable as they were back in 2007 and i know there is negotiati negotiations taking place. and if we can put them become in the positions they held once before where they were a viable part of the politic

general jack keane is joining us, we hear these are cyclical, many saying it is same old same old, unfortunatelymiddle east, but in terms of america's en srof ainvolvement there is ne should or can do? >> not much for us, israel is our allie, and hamas' number one aly circran allie is iran. -- they are sustainining them, t would take a third party to work this out, like egyptians were doing, and tony blair trying to work it media this but hamas is digging their heels in. hamas is using those casualties as victims of their population base, as leverage to gain international community support, to get israelis to stop. stop. that horrific. connell: i was curious about that in terms much military strategy. what could they try to accomplish? they go up against a foe that is much more powerful? hamas, putting, you know their own people out there, getting hurt. not the people that are firing the rockets. i am sure they are hidden underground. >> all of people in control, military and political leaders are in bunkers, they just ordered their people who evacuateeed based on israeli messages, they ordered

joining us tonight is general jack keane and fox news military analyst. it's so good to have you with us. >> it is good to be here. lou: i have to say at the outset that constraint shown by israel in the face of this barrage of rockets past, to me, it it is utterly astounding and to be frank, incomprehensible that they have not complied with all of the forces at their disposal. >> oh, yes, absolutely. here we have the face of terrorism post-9/11 or you have hamas and hezbollah both desiring to destroy the state of israel using conventional military equipment and technology, quite advanced technology to do so, and the fact of the matter is that they intend to kill israeli civilians and that is their purpose and randomly firing those rockettes, 133 per day toward the israeli cities. netanyahu and his commanders do everything they can to avoid civilian casualties and responding with about 80 per day to attack hamas and their conventional military infrastructure some that are hidden in and among the population which is well documented. >> is it in your judgme

joining me now retired four-star general jack keane, a fox news military analyst. general, the president took military action or involvement or help squarely off the table today. was that the right move? >> well, no, absolutely not. first of all, i think, i totally associate myself with marc's comments about the failure of american leadership and the whole putin accountable for what's actually taken place here, this horrific tragedy. what a lost opportunity that is given the fact that the whole world is watching here. >> is that right now? because you're not a political guy. you're a military guy. but you think -- you believe that putin would not have been so bold if there were a stronger leader in the white house here? >> oh, absolutely. i mean, i've criticized president bush during the surge process and before he made the decision to do it and for other things that he did as well. but this is a failure of american leadership here. make no mistake about it. that has brought us to this horrific place. secondly, what the president should be doing is working with the

general jack keane, good to see you. >>> we are not sure how the u.s. may respond to this. watching. john bolton is a former u.s. ambassador to the united states and a fox news contributor. ambassador, good to see you tonight. so if it's an act of war and if they determine that russia is behind it, where do we go from there? >> well, i'm not sure that we're going to be able to prove to anybody's satisfaction as a point of law that a russian finger pushed the trigger. i don't think that's the issue. i think the issue is what this tragedy demonstrates about the nature of the russian regime under putin and the way russia has conducted its business over the past ten years. and i think it should be a wakeup call not simply in the context of the conflict in ukraine, but for the united states and europe generally about what russia's up to and how we should respond. and i think the american response, the nato, european response should go well beyond simply readjusting the sanctions policy with respect to ukraine. >> how so? >> well, i think we've got to begin to treat russia like t
