joining us, jake tapper and political commentator and former house speaker.avid, let me start with you. you said on the program the president needs to articulate his position on isis. what does he need to say tonight? >> well, i think he needs to be very clear that if his mission is to destroy isis that is what he is going to do. we need to understand how he is going to use air power. he is going to say we'll use air power in syria as well as iraq. that is very important. we need to know about american troops. you know, the phrase has been used so far, no boots on the ground. interestingly tonight, the president used a new phrase, saying it would not involve combat troops fighting on foreign soil. that sounds to me -- i may be reading too much into it. but it sounds like he is leaving room to put a fair number of troops in who can be special ops, who are not fighting and helps the fighter ne eers in a number of ways. i would like to hear more about the comparison, doing what he is doing now in somalia and yemen. somalia and yemen have been going on for years
