malachi was unwilling to sign a status of forces agreement.ain want to leave troops behind without any kind of legal protection? the more you listen to him and dick cheney, you wish they'd just go away. why would we take advice from people who invaded iraq under false pretenses and set up this m mess in the first place? >> i don't know how he can say residual troops would have prevented isis from setting up the way they did. >> there's a lot of bluster in this, but he can't make that happen. because what happened was an alienation of the sunni population. it was because malachi was running an anti-sunni administration. so sunnis moved over to the other side. what's happened now, you look at john kerry in saudi arabia, we seem to be putting together a genuine coalition of arab states that are going to get involved in this. >> today was a big day, yeah? >> yeah, it was a big day. there are sunni arab states and that's going to give some reason for sunnis in iraq, along with a new government, that's going to give them some reason to think they sh

didn't theory voice and he couldn't prove that voice because he proved it by going to the profit, malachi and all of them because every single book testifies something of jesus christ. the best is daniel 9 because in daniel 9 -- >>president david chiu: thank you, next speaker. >>> tom, just to repeat i kind of -- can we get a close up here. new york of september 1st, don't shoot. if you like the article, something about getting money out of politics. i forgot that it was september 1st. a lot of people hold off from reading the magazine for a while. bay bridge, the trolley, let's see, the big hole in the ground. i was kind of wondering if we were going to have some discussion about that. but let's talk about housing. last year i said i was against changing 2,000 units into tennants in common. and but what was i for? i came up with a two part plan. one is who can changeover to like winning the lottery if that's what it's called. i came up with that plan overhead as i'm running out of time. that's all right. i will run out of time anyway. you have a ranking. how old you are, the amount of ye

the rush to war in iraq in 2003 principally can be blamed for this, but most recently, president malachi iraq has put his boot on the neck of the suni and isis grew through that and really appealed to disenchanted youth. it grew out of a militant group they brought in youth who want to be part of the political regime. what happens next is critically important. >> it is not just the youth, in iraq that are involved we have syria and fighters coming in from around the world. england, united states. did the cia see this coming? or it just seems to have blown out highly organized well financed we are acting like we didn't know what was going on. >> i went over to the middle east i am concerned about these fighters coming back to the u.s. they are not just iraqi and syrian fighters joining isis. people from the u.s. hundreds as well as western europe are going over to join this idea, that isis wants to create an islamic state across the middle east. i don't think we saw this coming the way we should have but we need to attack it now look we defeated by in large al qaeda's structure we defeate

and hopefully they'll reach out and try to heal the wounds of the divisions that malachi put in over last six, seven years. so there's work to be done, but we have our job to do. we cannot and should not duck this responsibility. and when we do this, full debate, maybe the american public will have a better understanding of how this can have a good outcome rather than an outcome and go down the path that we did with the first and the second iraq war. >> okay, thanks so much. >>> coming up, my interview with u.s. senator kirsten gillibrand of new york. we'll talk about the two big stories of the day. whether the senate should have a vote on whether we go to war against isis. and violence against women, like the kind in the videotape that cost ray rice his job. the national football league is facing big questions tonight. what did they know and when did they know it? for one, they knew about the earlier tape showing rice dragging his fiancee's limp body out of the elevator. that should have been all they needed to fire him. plus the police report. plus tonight battle for the control of

it's very obvious that prime minister malachy was a divider.ey came back to report to congress, they basically said two things. one, mill tartly, we've had great success. but, two, we've not made as much political progress as we've anticipated. so they called for a diplomatic surge to make sure that we didn't become too sectarian. but we didn't provide that and isis swept in right almost to the edge of back dad. >> well, right now, we have to fight a war in syria and iraq. how do we do it without troops on the ground? >> i think what you have to do first is you've got to restore the iraqi government. i've worked with these guys. if they have fait h in their government, i think they can take care of this job chlts i think you start with iraq. you make sure the iraqi army isolates it in syria. and then iert asaad will take care of it or we'll have to take action ourselves. but the first step is to restore a sovereign iraq. if we do it for them, we're going to be back there three years doing it again. the iraqis have got to be able to do it themse

it led us to malachi. yeah. i love americans, they say why? why in the world? >> joining us for the must read opinion pages. the director of the columbia university. >> he supports our wars, he's here to support all wars. >> maybe there is a lesson from here these are words we shouldn't be in. maybe there is a little message, whether it is afghanistan, iraq, syria, libbia yemen. they're all a complete mess. we do not belong there. that's the basic point. we should be helping these places sort out their own problems. but what we are doing is not sorting out problems. it's making a growing crisis everywhere. >> thomas freeman writes in the new york times, this, isis crisis, in committing america to an air campaign against isis, obama declared the ground war will have to be not by arabs and muslims, not just because this is their war. they are organizing themselves across shiites, sunni and kurdish lines is the necessary ingredient for creating any kind of decent, government that could replace isis. the fork times, the actual paper, editorial board writes this, wr

because a residual force would have stabilized the situation and, of course, maybe had a break on malachis a direct result of our failure to leave a residual force behind and when they say we couldn't. they are not telling the truth. i was over there with lindsey graham and joe lieberman and we know it for a fact. so this here idea that somehow we didn't foe that this was happening, of course we knew it. we saw it happening. >> does the president deserve a little credit for being on your side, hold on a sec, when it comes to syria, he did say in an interview right after he was with us, hey, we need to bomb syria. as you know, congress pushed back on him and said, no, you can't do it. does he deserve some credit for identifying the threat? yes, he was identifying assad. there are so many inner connections. any credit? >> no, because two years ago when his national security team top level people, secretary of state, secretary of defense, and head of the cia recommended arming the free syrian army, he overhooul ruled them. if we had armed them then the situation on the ground would be dramat

the reason that isis exists is because you didn't do the right thing in iraq with malachi. when bremer went in there, not to get into in the weeds. the sunnis were disenfranchised. that's the problem. that you their military commanders who are in that army are now leading isis. so why aren't we talking about a? the military part is easy. the people on your side of the aisle that want righteous committee, why aren't they saying we have to do the long-term part? >> there are. there are a lot of folks coupleing their criticism with the president's lack of a plan narl with a lack of progress on the political side t. president has been very good about the rhetoric of saying we need to have -- we need to bring a government that's much more stable together in iraq so they can deal with this on their own and they need to bring if other forces on the ground like the kurds and to support them militarily that america can't do this alone. but the big calgary that the president has had politically and convincing a lot of the critics he's on the right path is that this is not new. these
