peter: mark tim kaine also wants to see changes in this language, language with regard to truth stilloo broad, and he once the language also dealt with, as well. mark: our chief washington correspondent, peter cook, thank you. and the first-ever special representative to the muslim committee from the state department and now an adjunct senior fellow at the council for foreign relations in washington, welcome back to "bottom line." it is a pleasure to see you again. >> a pleasure to see you. mark: he will hold his first war powers talks since 2002, which is when president george w. bush was given authorization before the u.s. invasion of iraq. what are the similarities and differences between that request and the one that president obama is seeking? >> it is an important question you're asking, but there is a larger frame, and we are talking about this moment of time for our country, and this is indeed, a moment of time to come together to understand what this threat is, and this threat is not just about the conventional war that everyone is talking about. it is about something much bi

senator kaine: i agree with the last point you made. i would look at any final deal in analyzing its content and determining whether i supported it. the degree of inspections is how we guarantee to know if there is a problem. you indicated that your intel suggests iran is looking at the negotiation as separate from the whole question of iranian bellicosity. my sense is there is at least one connection between the two. this bears on my analysis of any deal. he needed if reached would involve sanctions relief to iran. --from what i have heard, some of the sanctions relief may have allowed them to invest more heavily in agents that are destabilizing governments outside of their own borders. as we look at any deal, if there is such a deal, there could be a connection between the deal and iranian bill cassidy. -- bellicosity. >> the sanctions have had financial impacts on the iranians. that in turn has impacted funding for their military and t he quds force. we have had meetings. king abdulla said grown troops would not be a good idea in his

you have people like bob menendez, corker, tim kaine, very thoughtful people. disagree with a bit. manchin is right, but maybe for different reasons. 9 reality is ground troops from america aren't going to win this war. it's gob to be arabs and muslims taking on arabs and muslims. if we go in there, that's exactly what isis wants. in other words, it won't be effective, but, you know i've got to say, don't you find it ironic, chris, you've been watching this for a long time, to see republicans arguing that this president should take broader, unlimited authority. that isn't what i've been hearing around here the last two years. i think congress has to take this responsibility. it's exactly what the framers intended for us to do, and i think we can work out some language that will meet everybody's requirements. i certainly hope so. >> thank you senator king from maine for coming on. >>> let's bring on senator isaacson, senator, thank you for joining us. this is like a mathematical explosive model, where one size says weft more restrictions in the weeks ahead. 9 ot

we're finally going to have a debate and i think senator tim kaine from virginia deserves credit for the hand to have the administration. >> woodruff: the language in the request the white house sent over thor authorization, does it get the white house any closer to this. >> no, it's ambivalent. the means and the process and the duration, i don't know why we need to put that in the use of force. last three years we're not going to this, we're going to do this. if we're going to use force we need to do what the president and the military leadership think is proper and that shouldn't be in the norgs. the killing of the hostages is an outrage but not really the most important thing that's going on over there. i happen to be in conversation with a bunch of financial analysts this week and asked them what's the biggest threat to the world economy and i expected them to say the euro crisis. they both independently said i.s.i.s. if i.s.i.s. destabilizes the middle east, that is an economic cat centuriesum with human suffering. >> woodruff: because of oil? because of oil, because of the dest

virginia senator tim kaine among the first. >> i've been disappointed, as you know, that we haven't had a meaningful debate in congress which, in my view is disrespectful of the men and women that we're asking to risk their lives every day to battle against isil. >> when it comes to fighting a war, the congress should not tie the president's hands. >> but there will be a fight over exactly what it authorizes. >> for example one difference of opinion is whether or to what extent american ground troops should be involved in this in iraq and syria. the president is going to send up language but i think we'll flush that out. that will be a significant debate. >> meanwhile, u.s. search & rescue teams have been moved to northern iraq closer to the action. all aware an american pilot could very well be next. >> any time you introduce american military power anywhere in the region, there's always risk. >> nancy pelosi said that the talks right now are for possibly a three-year authorization of military action but there isn't any agreement just yet on what geographic areas would be recovered by

senator kaine. >> and thank you for joining the committee. that's where beer. great to be with you.s has been important testimony. a lot a lot of your testimony is focused on multidisciplinary approach and may end up pulling together the stakeholders. it's sometimes a fragmented system that debris victimizes people who have been through this. i am interested in a report card on this. the gal report in 2012 indicated that the seven federal agencies the consumer bureau protections office, federal trade commission, department of justice a recommendation if they could work together in a more coordinated way so that they are not duplicated but now leaving gaps. those a recommendation these agencies can come together in a more coordinated way so that they are not duplicated in the leaving gaps. what is the degree to which the federal agencies are working on a coordinated way or what were could be done to improve that? >> one thing i would say is that security regulators certainly work well together and work well with the securities and exchange commission. some have never thought of elder

the realization of getting through this congress, when you are saying it is too broad and senator kaine says it ties his hands? how long of a debate do you think we are looking at here? is there a spirit of urgency that is needed? >> i think there is now a spirit of urgency. more than speed, getting it right is important. i want to do it asap, but it is important to air concerns and find common ground. the good news is that the white house has an overwhelming bipartisan consensus. we need to be engaged in military action. i could recite the atrocities in reverse order since september -- it has become more apparent that we need to do it. we need to approach it with a sense of urgency but put a premium on getting it right. i regret that it has taken us this long. the right way to do this is for congress to have the debate upfront. absent an imminent threat, the right way to do it is for the president to presented to congress. this is not the first time this has happened -- we have seen presidents overreach. i comes down to -- it is not just constitutional, it is a value proposition. if we

senator kaine. >> thank you madam chairwoman. >> and thank you for joining the committee. we're very delighted to have you as a new member. >> i'm thrilled to be on it. the powers that be noted this committee was too youthful and investigation reduce and they wanted to add somebody with graying hair and receding, that's why i'm here. great to be with you and senator mccaskill. this has been important testimony. a lot of your testimony has focused on multi-disciplinary in maine, pulling together stakeholders. mr. marshall's testimony that was tragic in the personal instance, at least eventually there was a well coordinated response. but you do have in your testimony an indication that sometimes a fragmented system kind of revictimizes people who have been through this. i'm kind of interested in you giving us a report card about our federal efforts. gao report in 2012 indicated that the seven federal agencies that work on the problem of financial fraud perpetrated against seniors, which would include national center for elder abuse at hhs consumer financial protection federa

. >> this issue that started with kain colter in a classroom in northwestern has now grown much, mucharger. house republicans have called hearing today in congress. >> we share the concerns of players that progress is too slow, but forming a union is not the answer. >> it is simply the wrong way to go to address these issues. the number of questions that are raised, are so myriad and wide ranging... >> would a union negotiate over the number and length of practices? perhaps a union would bargain over the number of games. if the school and union are at an impasse, would athletes go on strike? are these schools ready to make some tough decisions like cutting support to other athletic programs like lacrosse field hockey, or even raising tuition? >> the list of grievances these players presented are a list of grievances that players could have presented 5 or 10 years ago across the college community but they haven't been addressed. whether or not you have the security of a scholarship, for how long, whether you have health insurance, stipends transfers...we've been over this. we've been o

>> senator kaine thank you for the question. we spent a lot of time talking about va/d.o.d. collaboration. it was mentioned here by one of my colleagues that as we talked about the formulary issues, we talked about shared services we talked about a need to do better standardization, helped standardize policies, and we've actually had conversations with the secretary of va about that and we talked to the department of defense about that. i'm going to ask commissioner boyer to talk a little bit about some of the additional specifics here as to how we respond to the challenge of that, and then what we did about it within our recommendations. commissioner boyer. >> senator, earlier we talked about the real empowerment of the joint executive committee. it really lies to the heart of ensuring that two departments of government work together seamlessly. so as that soldier/sailor/imminent marine transitions to the va they shouldn't feel it. as soon as they come over, they should feel their medical record is there and that doctor that just took over my care, there is true continuity

. >> senator kaine. >> thanks to all of you for your service. this is an incredibly important topic and a very difficult one. maybe even a thankless one. i had a chance to look over the recommendations and i see a lot of positives. some of the focus on financial literacy, the transition from veteran status to civilian life in terms of employment training and assistance, these are important recommendations. i will make an editorial comment that has nothing to do with any of you. you all were asked to serve on this and you said yes and you have done a good job. i am not a particularly sensitive person, but when i walked in and it is a panel and we are supposed to talk about military compensation and there is not one woman sitting here, it is like wow. really? one of the first things that happened when i got into the senate was secretary panetta opened up women to combat. we have so many women serving in the armed services. their thoughts on these things are critical. i have a youngster in the marine corps. as he is talking to his guys, they are of

. >> right now senator tim kaine is trying to push this and saying this conflict is different than before and we have to move forward. the president is dealing with a temperature that is cot. we don't know what has happened to kayla mueller and she is from prescott arizona. john mccain is her senator and he as chairman of the armed services committee will be leaning in on providing more. if john mccain is not saying a lot of troops but some u.s. troops on the ground you can take that as one goalpost in the debate versus the issue of no u.s. troops but now isis is changing tactics, creating spectacular crimes and murders, i think the white house is going to be calling as much for flexibility in this option as possible. >> and that begs the question. laith, this was a bridge too far even for a group as notorious for just massive and over-the-top violence and putting it on tape for propaganda purposes might this be a signal that even the leadership of that video of muath al kaseasbeh that that might have awakened the sleeping giant of many even in the region? >> yes, joy. i think that crosse

you have democratic senator tim kaine saying--you have some republicans saying hold on a second, are you going to be tieing the hands not only of this commander in chief but the next commander in chief because of this legislation. >> what are they saying about any delay in staging that raid to rescue american kayla mueller. it was five to seven weeks between intel and rescue. >> that gap there that there might have been actionable intelligence last may. other's sis hostages were being kept and the rescue attempt didn't come until july, so we pressed josh ernest why that goop especially since the president is out here saying that he was pressing on all fronts to find the hostages. >> how can you tell buzz feed i did all i can when a couple of months there passed can you splaen that gap. >> i can say there's no delay in the president's decision to order this raid as soon as his advisors and his national security team had confident or at least a high degree of confidence about where exactly she was. >> very important moving forward obviously because josh ernest said yesterday, there's a

harry kaine scoring twice in the 2-1 win. >> the young boy hurricane up front has shown all of his lifesher that -- as i said there are different types of finishers, and when you play a pressure game you need your striker to be able to run and impress, and he leads the league very very well in that aspect. >>> the spurs beat the pacers to give coach greg popovich his 1,000th-career victory. they tapped the spurs 95-93 win. popovich comes the ninth nba coach to achieve 1,000 wins. >> i have been here a long time and i have good players. you know that's the formula. getting the players is difficult, but i have been fortunate to have good ones. >>> the new jersey devils were booed off of the ice after losing to the oilers in the nhl. they have the fewest wins this season. 2-1 the final score. it is only edmonton's 15th victory this season. >>> and the gloves came off in ohio. the fight went on for a few minutes before the officials stopped it the raining stanley cup champions eventually won the game 4-3. >>> and now the unveiling of this player's only wax work. he took a selfie and posted

kain william sop smashed the ball over pat cummins' head for the required six. giving new zealand the one wicket win. >> i was looking to hit a boundary ideally a six. after what was at the ordinary end, it was obviously quite tough. trying to get a boundary away was the plan. >> we were extremely poor there's no doubt about that. i think credit needs to go to new zealand bowlers. they swung the ball nicely and bowled good areas, but our shot selection was poor. and i think our defense more than anything else was an area that was a lot poorer than we would have liked. >> new zealand have four wins from four. >>> another match going on in perth right now with the united arab emirates playing in the u.a.e. limping to 102 all out after 31.3 overs. india cruising towards victory on 88/1 >>> world number one rory mcilroy is on the verge of missing the cut at the honda classic in florida. his second round of 74 on friday put him at 7-over. the first time in nearly a year he has two consecutive rounds over par. the cut will not be made until saturday as a 4-hour rain d

do you know jack kaine?> absolutely. >> every military leader i've talked to that's been involved in the fight for the last decade tells me that the regional army that we would send into syria, turkey, egypt, saudi arabia, whatever army you form is going to need some american help. we have 3,000 american forces on the ground today to help the iraqi army. general keene says we need 10,000. i'm going to do what the generals say. i could care less about a poll. >> i want to be clear. you would be open to sending up to 10,000 troops to the region to fight isis? >> i'm opening to doing what the military tells me we need to do when. i'm open to winning, i'm not open tos losing. the idea of not leaving a residual force behind has haunted us. when we put on the table 10,000 to help iraq wasn't popular but it was the thing to do. when we argued three years ago to do a no fly zone, it wasn't popular, it was the right thing to do. the military leaders i trust say there needs to be an american component to help a region

. >> senator kaine. >> thank you, senator. i just returned from the budget committee. i apologize for missing some of the discussion and i may touch upon some of the points. >> and i've accepted. >> thank you. always a pleasure to work with you, mr. chairman. [laughter] i want to emphasize a point i understand senator kaine made, and that is number one sequestration was designed to be stupid or did you know that? it was expressly designed to be so stupid and an acceptable that congress would never allowed to go into place. i would never campaign in 2012, peoples of what you think of the sequester? i said it will never happen. congress won't let that happen, but here we are. one of the reasons that it doesn't make much sense is that we are focusing all our budgetary attention on a declining part of the budget. the growth in the budget right now is in mandatory programs, and particularly and health care costs, medicare and medicaid children's health program. that's what's driving the federal deficit. it's not defense but it's not national parks. it's not the head start p

senator kaine. >> i have a lot of questions on the aumf, but i'm going to hold on that. i want to talk to you about strategy and about security. on the strategying side having been on this committee for about two years and even as a citizen reading the news, it seems like we're always in crisis management mode because there's always crises. but just because there have always and will always be crises, that doesn't mean we need to define our job as crisis managers. and i think we ought to look big picture strategy and take advantage of some successes. i'm going to commend you in both senses, thank you but also encourage you. i just got cac from a cobell -- back from a codell to mexico, honduras and columbia. plaxico is now our -- colombia. mexico is now our number one trade partners. mexicans migrate to the united states which is a very dramatic thing, and we're working with mexico on those, increasing the mexican mid call class has been sizable, and the trade relationship between the united states and mexico has gone a long way in 20 years. honduras, very challenging sit
