oh, commissioner keane asia to 7 mr. chair, i would propose that were it is the grand jury is asking us to we provide written information as does every other city department in all of the other major languages that is also done by other city departments in the draft proposal we disagree and will not do this it is an unwanted search and been determined the demands for such services is zero pressor i find that had a right to building in the city of san francisco where every other city department we're told provides those information we're saying in terms of what we're doing what we're doing is insignificant and people speaking other languages don't connect about it we should provide the information in those languages. i would change our recommendation that the ethics commission shall make the materials available in other languages as in other city departments. >> other commissions from the commissioners. i did have questions as well. recommendation 7 in particular what the form is that the demand is zero? there's 3 differe

i concur with what you said commissioner keane as well. is there a motion to adapt finding and recommendation 13 as amended by is commissioner keane >> so moved. public comment? >> commissioners ray director from san francisco open government i agree with commissioner keane we can't disclosure this because it might ask other to violate a law obviously if you can't disclose something but the page 9 the categories non-exempt are one person who takes the public funds and so forth and i'm looking the case we had at the f pc at the city librarian there is absolutely nothing to prohibit putting open the ethics commission website he was found to have pursue injured himself and he admitted that the $5,000 a year from the friends and filed a statement saying he got nothing from the friends. and he filed amended statements that's all public record we're not disclosing anything that is personal or confidential things so we want the public to know a public official broke the law and did see time he was and government guide i think there's a general co

>> yes. >> commissioner keane. in regards to number 19 i don't have any quarrel it should be implemented the recommendation of the grand jury should be pledged and will be implemented, however, just as a point of information and since we have the members of the grand jury here i do want to ask about the assertion or the allegation in 19 in at least one instance the ethics commission inappropriately interpreted to grant a restriction waiver i made that assertion there's language but united states staff there's a disagreement what are you, you talking about >> the woman that negotiated the arrangements on behalf of the city for the benefits of the america's cup was granted a waiver from posted employment restrictions to work in a leadership position for america's cup. >> and . >> on grounds it would be - it was like an important career movement that she would not be able to take this was also a situation where a number of the benefits for america's cup were being negotiated with rec and park and the chair of the rec

. >> commissioner keane who do i think we should recommend it to? >> i think in regard to the particular officer that's involved we would look to see in the chapter and the ruling law which would be the appropriate body that could remove that person. whether it would be the board of supervisors or the mayor or whether it would be the head of some department and whoever the appropriate officer or body was that 0 could remove that person we make the recommendation to that individual or body >> so i'm not against sending something to the appointing officer or the entity that has the power to remove i'm not sure in every case someone that fails to meet the deadline of 90 days should be removed from office. so i propose modifying commissioner keanes amendment to perhaps notify the officer or appointing body to this person has failed to file after 90 days. in my mind first of all, i'd like to make the recommendation i'm also comfortable with maybe not always dismissals >> let me take our language mr. chair you wouldn't be comfortable with automatically di

is there a motion to amend 24, 25 as proposed by commissioner keane and commissioner hur? >> yes. so moved. >> second. >> second. public comment? >> a couple of comments on 24 t it is where the grand jury made a recommendation go you should be doing an annual report to the board of supervisors. i want to talk about that part. remember commissioner keane talked about it earlier you're also kind of the example of what should be happening in showing what good government it ethnics is incredibly important to the citizens they don't get a chance to hear the represents voted often and on the state and local level the citizens don't get any kind of report on what that means if >> saying let the board of supervisors excuse and we will give a report remember it's a in the chapter to do an annual report that is helpful to the public here are the requirements those are new and those are not new andtolysis will the one pending it could be an important part of the legislation i would ask you to do an unanimous report we know find nothing that was recorded to the board of supervisors in terms o

hearing none i will commissioner keane you made some strong comments you disagreed with some of the staff recommendations so i guess we'll start with the recommendation in response to the finding and recommendation number one. do you or any other commissioners have any comments suggested changes? >> i have yes mr. chair yes and go ahead. >> the finding is that the ethics commission the finding by the grand jury is that the ethics commission lacks the resources to handle the major enforcement cases goes ton to include examples of misconduct. i mr. chair, i would strongly recommend that we not use the language in our response whereas, to that finding number one we say we disagree. and for one thing what we have been saying many times in regard to this commission and this commissions resources and the ability to handle many of the things we want to handle we are hamstrung because of the lack of resources. and in regard to where we respond to this finding it is almost like someone is living in a parallel world rather than addressing something different and what this commission has been saying

you talk about former general jack keane. he is the fox news military analyst. appears regularly on the sunday programs and primetime television. remember, fox news is the largest cable network. they bring in 4.5 million viewers in their prime time news cases,e and in many keane is the only military voice , the analyst brought in to provide the military point of view, so many americans are only getting his opinion without knowing that he works for many different defense contractors. >> i want to turn to comments made by someone else whom you cite in the piece, frances townsend, who has also been calling for a tougher stance on isis. she had worked in the bush administration. targets in iraq will not be enough. all you will do is push them back into the safe. that syria has become. we need issued ticket plan to absolutely wipeout ices completely. >> this cannot just be an iraqi isolation. if you do that, you push them into syria where they enjoy safe haven. you need a broader strategy that includes the syrian safe haven area. >> can you talk about who she is that

gener general keane, headline is a coalition over syria. the future is unknown. but that we have to sorry about a void there is a given. >> well, this is a pretty significant event. as much as i've been critical of the president for not striking syria the night he made a speech and critical also about the lack of content in the ground defensive campaign, he and secretary kerry and general john allen and central command deserve credit in bringing together this coalition of five countries four of them are sunnis attacking a sunni-based terror organization despite the fact they have a radical islamic sunni-based in conservancy. it's a good night for the administration in being able to pull this together. >> how do you see the next days and weeks unfold something >> i hope this is a sustained and unrelentless campaign. and shep, it's not going to be like it was in kosovo or desert storm in 99 or iraq in 2003. we don't have that kind of target infrastructure to deal with here this, is isis moved a country and established themselves. it's not a state they call themselv

so let me pick up with you on this, kirsten, where i left off with general keane. is it possible, is it possible that we are having a war in a foreign policy directed by the pugh research polling, the nbc, the "new york times" polling? >> it's possible. the thing about it is i do think the president was -- i said this before, he was slow to come around on this. but i also think that he is so keyed into what the american people think because he was elected to be the president who ends wars. and so he is -- >> as keeping a promise. >> exactly. and i think he's listening to them and knowing that that's what he was elected to do. and i'm not saying this is necessarily what he should be doing because i do think his job is ultimately to keep us safe and sometimes that's going to mean overruling the american people. but i think that's how he would defend it. he would say the american people elected me for a certain purpose and i'm trying to honor that. >> and how do you go to war without the support of the american people? if he questioned whether they supported him, how

but if they don't, then we'll have to use it. >> general keane, thank you so much.greatly appreciate you being here. if at all possible we'd like to tap into your expertise later as "the kelly file" will be live again tonight at midnight with a special broadcast. our coverage of this important breaking news is going to continue over the next few hours as we are back in the middle east bombing iraq, bombing syria tonight as the u.s. air campaign begins. stay tuned for continuing coverage right here. >>> to degrade and eventually destroy, i'm shepherd smith at the fox news desk with continuing coverage from america's newsroom of our new war in syria. defense officials bombs and missiles began falling about an hour ago and greatly escalating a war against the savage terror group. the militant group that executed two american civilians cut off their heads and posted the video for the world to see. the terrorists also executed a british citizen and threatened

commissioner keane >> yeah. i wanted to echo what commissioner hayon said as well in regards to the report itself. i think the report is an excellent documents shows a lot of work work and the senator said it's highly readingable and very much a set of instructions that many of which we should follow in regards to the civil grand juries roll during the course of any career having been an assistant dpw department head of a depended for years there were two times my department was the topic of civil grand jury reports each time each department is looked at by the civil grand jury there are a couple of responses that sort of incity council's occur one the defenseness that automatically takes place their krisz us they're saying we're bad therefore we have to reopened in some way to show they're wrong. i think that that is a totally unproductive way to address something like the civil grand juries effort in my efforts in this situation that's not how i'm going to address it. in regard to some of the comments that wer

more now with general jack keane. general, what about that?y are the generals going against the president's strategy and why isn't the president listening to his people on the ground? >> the generals aren't publicly going against the strategy. they have provided options on table and they have provided openings that the president has chosen to limit. and other people are picking that up and certainly commenting on it not the least of which the guy you're talking to right now. the fact of the matter is that with this weak ground force hand, all they've been trying to do is strengthen it and secondly they know the big elephant in the room is the one you identified in the outset, maria. if this doesn't work, if the iraqi army cannot regain its territory that it's lost or failing and isis is going to remain there and grow as a terrorist organization to threaten the middle east and threaten the american people are we simply going to let that happen? i doubt it. that was behind general dempsey's comment. if that happens i want to have a contingency f

superior court >> may i make a suggestion i agree with commissioner keane that the portion of finding 3 that basically says we should do with whatever we can to enforce the ethnics laws should be agreed whether this is a right of a citizens action that needs for analysis and really is something the board needs to do not the commission we agree to the extent we should be doing everything we can to provide the assurance to the public that the ethnics laws will be enforced but we need more analysis to propose a citizens right of action for civics laws and how specifically that are enacted. >> i'll propose - i'm sorry. i said prosper our response to findings 3 and recommendation 3 is that we agree with the finding and this the ethics commission will investigate whether or not it should make a recommendation to the board of supervisors that it enhances citizens right of action. that would be consistent with the complaint that is being made we should be more pro-active and take on sort of the policy thing. but i agree with the chair we don't have enough real information about what a private

lou: general jack keane, thank you so much. "the washington post" fact checker talking about spending obama's recent characterization of the islamic state, listen to the white house press secretary just last week. >> the president was not singling out isil, but he was talking about the very different threat that is posed by a range of extremists around the globe. many of them do not have designs on attacking the west or the united states. lou: "the washington post" are warning that statement and that was the worst lowest rating that they get. it couldn't be clear that the president was, in fact, as we said in january, the islamic state was jb. coming up next, my commentary on why vladimir putin and barack obama have more in common than you might think. not comforting but in common. that's coming up next. who work with regional experts who work with portfolio management experts that's when expertise happens. mfs. because there is no expertise without collaboration.

joining us on the neral jack keane.cameron is under an emergency meeting right now, c.o.b.r.a. is the emergency meeting in which he will rally when he feels that the country is on the verge of an emergency. he came out with a reaction very quickly before this video was officially verified which leads me to believe that david cameron knew of this beheading before the video was released and was waiting for the video before they actually named this hostage who they knew was in custody. what's your take? >> well, first of all, isis is dead serious. they're establishing their caliphate and want to dominate the region and they know for them to be successful they have to break the will of the united states and the west. it is a myth when they say they're killing them to provoke us so we put u.s. troops on the ground. that was a myth perpetuated over 9/11, as well, and when we had the 9/11 al qaeda in our jail cells we found out quite the opposite. they were trying to break our will so we would not come to the region and we wou

jack keane, we're really honored to have you here because you know a little bit more than question do about khorasan. >> look, this is the beginning of a long journey, what took place hire is a good thing, particularly as bob was pointing out, this is to the fact of the matter is, these are sunni based countries attacking a tusunni based terror organization, that has not happened before. they all have islamic movements inside their country. normally they want to tamp down that movement. this is a -- it will take some time to get the kind of overall results we want from it. and as you have heard many times, while the air campaign will be decisive in terms of degrading isis, it's not going to be able to be defeated and destroyed, that will take an effective ground campaign and the problem we have with that ground campaign is that we have a weak hand in syria, in the free syrian army, and we have a weak hand in iraq as well, with the iraqis, peshmerga and also sunni tribes. they have never put that together and the iraqi army has collapsed in the face of this enemy. and just this week, t

lou: i got to say, i talked with general jack keane earlier. he said it.ssured what is going on here. when we talk about a long tedious war to begin with, the american people have gone through long, tedious and, unsuccessful conflicts, whether it is in iraq, or whether it is in afghanistan. shouldn't it just be about time the elites in this country, the leaders of both parties, juan, understood their job and the general, the flag officers of our military, understand, it is their job to lead well and produce victory and stop selling, you know, princeton theses as a legitimate doctrine of war? >> yeah. i mean, i don't know, even what to say to you, lou, that is exactly right. the job of the military is to win military conflicts and our military is quite good but it is time to get back to that mission and make it plain. we obviously are in a situation where you have an ideology that is driving much of this terrorist type of activity. but we are skilled, also, in fighting guerrilla warfare. we know how to fight when it comes to ideology. you know what? that is

joining me now is retired four-star army general and army vice chief of staff general jack keane.he's with the center for the study of war and he is a fox news analyst. thank you for joining us for this ever evolving story. let's begin with the coalition. it seems fractur in right frankly unwilling. can we get this coalition to work as a single force that can really put a roadblock, if you like, in front of isis? >> i think that establishing this coalition is critical and a test of our presidents leadership and this is about his conviction and determination to accomplish what he set out on wednesday night. that is to degrade and destroy isis and the fact that the allies believe that that is what we are about here. it is the plan that gives you cause for concern, why are we bombing syria for right now, for example, if it is so serious. and secondly it appears that we will not put any or ground controllers with the iraqi military on the ground to facilitate the use of air power and we are only going to send advisers down to the brigade headquarters. that is going to challenge the gr

joining me now jack keane, a former army vice chief of staff.good of you to come in tonight and offer expertise on this. give us your perspective on whether you think this action will take days, weeks, months or longer. >> not only is this air strikes on syria, and and and it's very significant. also, countries attacking a city-based terrorist organization. that did not come easy. many of these, now this, is isis. so it is significant in my judgment. qatar, not attacking. qatar, i think has problems because they've been aiding isis from the beginning and also aid hamas i felt we have to do something about this country. maybe this is an indication they're willing to change their stripes, i doubt it. i believe it's tied to what is taking place as you just identified the president coming to the un general assembly with other presidents and what a jump start he's going to have to get other partners to participate in this war against isis. >> the goal to degrade and openly destroy isis the question is whether they have now managed to hide in 12 days

ed kean used to catch fish. now he hunts and hauls in icebergs. the 55-year-old newfoundlander is the only iceberg harvester on the island. the idea came from a brewery that's now one of his customers. >> that one there is a nice piece, isn't it, phil? >> the ice debris is from one of greenland's glaciers. it takes three years for the ocean currents to carry them to the east coast of newfoundland. ed is taking this chunk of iceberg with him. he has to stretch his net around the entire block to harvest it -- not easy on a rocking boat. then he takes the three-ton hunk of ice back to the mother ship, green waters, which hauls it away. the iceberg harvesting season is short -- june and july. in the winter he rents his ship out -- to the university of newfoundland, for example, which researches the white giants. all in all, he earns a good living from it. harvesting icebergs isn't without its risks. nine tenths of their mass lies under the surface of the water, so the largest part of an iceberg isn't visible. that's why ed keeps his big ship at a dist

and general jack keane the chairman of the institute for the study of war. he previously served as vice chief of staff of the u.s. army and is a fox news military analyst. we begin tonight with brit. brit, your thoughts. >> well, megyn, nothing that we heard tonight was really beyond what we expected. i was eager to describe him the threat because there's a certain logic to these things. if the threat is sufficiently great to american interests and to america itself, then it seems one would do whatever it takes to eliminate the threat. he didn't quite go that far. he said he was determined to destroy isis, but you heard him at the end when he was talking about what we do in these sipgss. he said we do what it takes. he didn't say we do whatever it takes. of course he couldn't. because this campaign he's describing with u.s. air power, supporting action on the ground by forces that he has belittled in the past or in the case of the iraqi military have performed poorly in the past, doesn't work. where does that leave us? this raises again, the question of why

joining me now retired four-star jen jack keane, chairman of the institute for the study of war. that's a nonpartisan independent group that works with the government on how to respond to threats and executing military operations. general, good to see you. so the troops in iraq are frustrated, some expressing frustration with the president. why? >> well, first of all, when troops deploy overseas, they always feel good about it. morale's high. and they want to get something done. and they know what they've done in the past, they have a sense of accomplishment and achievement. but you put your finger on it, they've been given a sensely defensive missions without a goal. so we're protecting facilities even our air forces are doing largely defensive air attacks to protect critical infrastructure to protect irbil as opposed to doing a very aggressive and comprehensive air campaign throughout iraq and syria. so that over time that leads to frustration because they start saying to themselves what am i doing here. and a great thing about our troops is they're loyal, they're disciplined,

amongst them, general jack keane, general richard meyers.elieve this can be done at this level. jack keane, for example, suggests that it's going to take a significantly larger number of our troops' boots on the ground in order to be effective. that's ground controllers for sophisticated smart weaponry and ordnance. but if this is as limited as one might infer from last night, a conflict that he intends to pursue, you know, i really don't know the answer to that. what i do know is that we are leaving afghanistan with the enemy we swore to destroy 13 years ago still intact, still in power, the taliban. the poppy fields are still there growing. we have exerted so little of our will of our enemies and brought so little retribution for the pain that these radical islamists have caused and the threats that they pose to our allies including israel, saudi arabia, that it's going to take historians, i think, some work to rationalize what we have failed to do in the war against terror as it's been styled from bush through obama. gerri: you know, it's
