general jack keane joins me now and always good to see you and a little bit of well known news in this fight against isis. how do you see this? how would you characteristic where we are right now? >> certainly it's a welcome victory. seven months ago we had an humiliating embarrassing defeat, something that was exposed on international television and certainly all the iraqiwhat happened to their army and the police collapsed on the enslaught of isis. so they have reclaimed it. it says a couple of things. one it's so important the capital of the largest province in iraq, it's where many of the sunnies live themselves and that they are committed to get isis out of their towns, villages, and cities. and secondly it's saying something about the preparation of the iraqi army and that is we helped prepare this force. we advised it in terms of its plans, tactical and operational plans. we preside key equipment particularly antiaircraft weapons, and we helped make the air power more effective. so that i think is something positive to take away from it. all that said, we are a long way from ret

joining us tonight, fox news analyst general jack keane. he talks about a shrinking islamic state at the pentagon. what are we to make? >> believe the report. the harsh reality, the islamic state has expanded with formalized documented affiliate relationships with nine countries and they're expanding into three more probably within the next 30 to 60 days, afghanistan, and pakistan. they are there one, because they can. number two, they've gauot two strategic regions. they want to undermine the al qaeda leadership that operates out of pakistan. they're going to take advantage of what they believe is another u.s. withdrawal, much as they did in iraq. they see this as huge strategic opportunity for them to succeed in that part of the world. >> the united states retains significant special operations forces in afghanistan. but frankly the united states is dependent entirely upon those special operations forces to exert the political will of the united states. and we're looking at the possibility, are we not that those troops could be withdrawn

retired four star general and fox news military analyst jack keane joins us now. always good to see you. >> good to see you, shannon. >> last night, this took up a lot of time of conversation during the democratic debate. i want to read something that hillary clinton said, former secretary of state, she said with regard to isis and syria, we're finally where we need to be. we have a strategy and a commitment to go after isis, which is a danger to us and the region and we also have a u.n. security council resolution bringing the world together for political transition. are we where we need to be with isis or syria? >> not even close, unfortunately. the president has a strategy where he believes it will take many years, several years in fact, to defeat isis. and he refers to strategic patience. and he says isil will eventually be defeated. the reality is that isis, shannon, is executing the global strategy. and they kill people in lebanon, turkey, in france, in the united states now, they brought down a russian airliner and they'll keep doing that. so that the multi

joining us now, general jack keane, a fox news military analyst. what do you think about that?oes that ring true? >> yeah, absolutely rings true. >> we're talking about the new interview with the former defense secretary saying that -- >> this is the third secretary of defense that has had the same issue with this president, policy differences and staff undermining them. that's number one. number two, the chemical red line issue, the mission was about to be executed and it was called off. >> we had troops ready to go. >> secretary hagel well after that fact has witnessed what has taken place. he's point ud out there's serious credibility issues since that point. this is pre-isis, and this is other countries taking advantage of the united states because they believe the united states leadership is not what it used to be in the world. it's emboldened our adversaries and also, john, it's made our friends question our resolve and commitment to them. >> this president obviously won office in large part because americans were tired of war. he promised to get troops out of the middle

breaking analysis right now from jack keane. first blake bergmann joins me. could could we be witnessing a real change in policy from the obama administration? >> a lot of questions about the force. and expeditionary targeting force. these are additional forces that will be headed to iraq to help in the fight against isis. just how many is still uncertain at this hour. defense secretary carter would not get into details. they will conduct raids in they could consist entirely of u.s. forces or be mixed with local soldiers. the october raid of an isis prison that freed around 70 hostages is one example of the kind of roles these forces will fulfill. >> window occasions arise, intelligence bed to conduct raids like that anywhere in the territory of syria and iraq. that is what we are talking about. a new way of achieving our objective. there will be more. >> the army's elite delta force was behind that veered they have been training for more than one year. this will be on top of the special operations forces being dedicated to serious as well. trish: any idea of

here is jack keane. >> would you agree with that assessment? we are at war with them.hey are clearly at war with us. >> secondly, as much themselves. the thing we do need is an authorization. that has to take place. most of all, we need a sense of urgency and resolve and commitment. the feeding isis. giving some sense of when that will happen and how it is going to happen. hearing the president speak earlier today at the pentagon. he listed all the accomplishments that we have had thus far. it really did not suggest much in terms of a game plan for going forward. we are at war. back to that, many americans and headed into the holidays. very worried about their own safety here on u.s. soil. do we need to be looking at more policies when it comes to coming into this country. harboring islamic extremist sentiment. >> i gave testimony the same day that mackall, part of the house security committee joined session. propose that legislation was approved. they would put a hole on the refugee program. it does make some sense. we just need to take a hard look at it. this will ke

more on the ballots and how it will impact the greater fight against the islamic state, general jack keane, retired four-star general, former vice chief of staff and chairman for the institute for the study of war. general, welcome tonight. >> glad to be here, sandra. >>> where are we as far as the fall of ramadi, to the iraqi army? will this happen? we know this military operation is under way right now. >> yes, almost a certainly is going to happen. the reality is the iraqi army has this thing surrounded north, south and east. they've been working on this, you know, for weeks. there were thousands of isis fighters in ramadi. they're largely gone, down to a few hundred. they are using people as human shields, as you indicated, but the most significant obstacle are literally thousands of ied mines that are fortified and protecting the isis fighter inside the city. the iraqi army has the capability to breach that, it would be deliberate, methodical, they're going to take casualties doing it, but they will eventually take ramadi for sure. >> how big of a victory would that be? >> it would ta

general jack keane among our guests. good night from new york. kennedy: breaking news. we are expecting an update from the san bernardino police department on yesterday's shooting massacre. we are waiting for the motive and learning whether the killers have ties to terrorism. we have the latest on the investigation from catherine herridge and reaction from gregg gutfeld, montel williams and much, much more including you. we plan to get to you tonight because i'm watching so many people get it so wrong, and there is much we still don't know. gross overreaction falls flat and it's dangerous. as leftists took to twitter calling for action and more gun control, it was the knuckle dragging prayer shamers who create an unnecessary die cot smi between. the daily neuse news -- the daily news said god isn't fixing this. history is filled with examples of liberties trampled and lives ruined with emotionally motivated regulation. a woman hiding as her co-workers ran for their lives. she called for prayers. i didn't know the nra were funding southern california bomb factories. mart

as for retired general jack keane, another general mentioned by fiorina, this was his response. >> no spoken to the president. that's not accurate. and i never served this administration. i served the previous administration. >> keane retired from the military in the year 2003, nearly six years before president obama took office. but even after being presented with that information, which is to say the truth, fiorina insisted "no, i didn't misspeak. he has been someone of great experience who has been highly critical of the way this administration has not taken threats seriously and unfortunately he hasn't been listened to and i would listen to him." this is not the first time carly fiorina has refused to let the facts stand in her way. there was of course her false account of the planned parenthood sting videos. >> watch a fully formed fetus on the table, its heart beating, its legs kicking, while someone says we have to keep it alive to harvest its brain. >> do you acknowledge what every fact checker has found, that as horrific as that scene is, it was only described on the video by

to general jack kean in washington. we'll get into different polls.ot of americans are saying isis has the upper hand here, particularly when it comes to the administration's battle plan with taking on isis. what due you make of this ramadi victory today? >> well, first of all, it is a step in the right direction. no mistake. i understand the american people's concern because they're just looking at some facts now that they've been seeing for almost a couple of years, which is isis controls a large swath of territory, although they lost some today. they've expanded into seven other countries and the reality is they have a global strategy where they're using their followers to kill their fellow citizens in lebanon and turkey and france. russian airliner and now in the united states. so that's what has got the people concerned, that the problem doesn't seem to be going away, they seem to be expanding, and the american people have that right. what happened here in ramadi, neil good, step the right direction, clearly forces are trained, performed adequate

harris: i asked this question with many a guest including general jack keane is here, do we need a commander-in-chief that commanded in the field, that sort of thing? overwhelmingly response is, that would be great but you have terrific generals as we are. when the president spoke after his briefing at pentagon to get an update this week, where was all of that? andrea: he doesn't listen to generals. harris: visually where was it? andrea: he likes when they flank him from behind. >> only certain generals. andrea: only certain generals. he is not listening to the generals. frankly, harris, he doesn't have the stomach, leadership, the metal to lead against isis. i don't want a come amender in chief doing anything halfhearted. think that is dangerous in war. but what i think the american people want, no boots on the ground but i will do everything to prevent another san bernardino and boston here. suspend visa program. work on borders. harris: what he could have said? when he had our tanks from the oval-offs, the bully pulpit he only used three times as president. >> how do you make perspective of your p

listen to general jack keane on this. >> the force to hold it is considerably larger. you're constantly tying down more and more forces to hold on to reclaimed territory. that becomes the achilles' heel here in iraq. reporter: listen, eric, nobody, especially from the american perspective wants to see tens of thousands of american troops out there trying to fight the battle for iraq spaces but clearly if you will beat isis, you have to do more, could be more special forces operators. we'll watch that as well. eric: 100 deployed in iraq as well. you're right. there may be more. kevin corke on early morning duty in hawaii. good to see you. lea: with more, we have the editor-in-chief of the "washington free beacon." nice to see you today. start with key commanders taken out by airstrikes. what do you make of this? >> some officials were involved in coordinating attacks outside of syria and iraq, maybe involved in the paris attack i think it is important victory in the war on terror and war on isis. we have to remember if targeted strikes were only solution to the problem,

aware of who our friends are, our enemies are, not retired former army chief of staff, general jack keanea is our enemy, but i have to tell you, general, to david asman's point they sure do some curious things. what do you make of that, and maybe trying to kill off our own oil industry? >> well, number one, is iranian issue. what the obama administration did to the region in putting that nuclear deal with iran first and coming up with such a horrific deal that eventually gets them a nuclear weapon in 15 years, we all know they will cheat before that to get it anyway -- neil: they already are. >> absolutely. it is hard for many americans to understand the degree of frustration and concern that all of our allies have in the region. so much so, neil, they don't trust this administration. they don't believe they're reliable. they're waiting for the next administration. they want a relationship with the united states to be sure but they pretty much have given up on this administration. iran is their strategic enemy and, keeping those prices where they are is all about suppression of iran's eco

what we have is situation where, according to general jack keane, author of the surge, 75% of our airrties in irsyria and iraq are coming back without dropping bombs because of restrictive rules of engagement. this is not how you fight a war. martha: one more thought. we don't want to americanize this fight on the ground. and as senator mccain pointed out it is already quite americanized and idea that we're going to incite them to violence and we're going to stir up more violence and more aggression on their part if we have an american face to this i think a lot of people would take issue with. mark, thank you very much. >> thanks, martha. bill: marc thiessen to adam kinzinger, republican congressman, illinois, pilot air national guard. served in the iraq war. sir, welcome back here. >> thanks. good to be here. bill: a lot to go over including this headline. we're playing catch-up in a major way. what did you hear? >> look, i think secretary carter was doing his best to put, to try to make a really bad situation appear not as bad as it really is. you know, what's obvious here is the a
