>> dickerson: we're joined by cbs news security analyst and former number o at the cia michael morell. former national s surity advisis to president obama tom donilon and former homeland security advise tore president george w. bush, fran townsend. where are we now relative to where we were last week? >> four things that have happened in the last week. we've firmed up that the attacking terrorists was indeed directedly isis leadership, first directed attack in the west. two, we have firmed up that a bomb did indeed bring down the russian airliner over the sinai. three, we had terrorist attack in mi by al qaeda. very important reminder that al qaeda remainsnsut there and in many ways just as dangerous if not more dangerous than isis. four, we have what's ongoing in brussels today, which is very clear to me that this was going to beenother attack by the same group, similar kind of attack they raided 'arm this morning found explosives, found weapons i think that is what we're looking at is possible wave of attacks in e eope. hn brennan this week said that the terrorist attack was first i

joining us now is cbs news senior security contributor and former deputy director at the cia michael morell. mike, let's start, what are implications about in this terms of what we know about isis? >> think there is two major the first is that isis for the last year has been trying to build an attack capability in western europe. i think this is the first manifestation of that effort and that success. and eventually they will try to build a similar attack capability in the united states. i think that is the first fundamental point. the second fundamental point is in the last two weeks, we've had an isis affiliate in sinai apparently, decent know for sure, bring down an airliner. we have third airliner brought down by a bomb in last quarter century we've had the second largest terrorist attack in western europe since 9/11, since the largest since madrid in 2004. when you put those two things together and you put together the attack capability in the west, i think it's now crystal clear to us that our strategy, our policy, vis-a-vis isis is not working is time to look at something else. >> di

joining sus cbs news senior security contributor former number two at the cia, michael morell. can they get so likely without having access intelligence to the crash site? >> so, i think we're talking about the communications that are being intercepted of the conversations among the terrorists. early on there was just chatter, there was just individuals congratulating each other, that wasn't enough to get you to a bomb on the aircraft because it could be circular with the claim of responsibility by isis. but now getting to more senior conversation among isis, conversations among guys be in the know that they actually did this. i think that is what pushing us from a possibility to likely. >> dickerson: what does this tell us, what are implications in terms of what this tells us about isis and they shifted? >> i think this is very, very significant -- this will be only the third aircraft brought down by a bomb in the last quarter century. this is a very big deal. largest loss of life in a plane brought down by bomb since pan am 103 overlocker bee, scotland. it's going to add to t

senior security analyst michael morell plus former special representative to muslim communities at the state department she's now the counsel on foreign relations and american enterprise institute's danielle. thank you for being here. i'll start with you. the response to the attacks in paris should be what for the united states? >> i think we need to look at the hall thanks we face on the ground, recognize if we don't do something we will see what happened in paris in new york, l.a., washington, some where in the united states. we need to have a clear strategy that addresses the challenge in both syria and iraq but also yemen, north africa, serbia, we can keep going here. we need serious partners on the ground. more troops on the ground. we need a concerted effort. >> dickerson: what is your assessment of what we should do? >> certainly that is important, we can't do without it. but the other half of the strategy is the nonmilitary. that includes briefings. one is, when we think about the money, when we think about momentum and ideas. one is, stopping ability for money to flow to these

stay with us. >> dickerson: we're back now with cbs news security analyst michael morell.national security advise other to president obama tom done lip and former homeland security advisor to president george w. bush fran townsend. give me your assessment. >> we'll take into account the point that michael made. i think that the terror threat has metastasized. we had a loft success with respect to that but this is now evolved. i think we're in a new and more dangerous stage with respect to the terror against west and united states. i think manifested itself in isis moving from a focused agenda around building so-called cafiphase to external. that's what we've seen. they have basically announced they're going to do this since last august they have been by my count launched attacks in ten countries. just in the last few weeks we've seen attacks in beirut, paris, which resulted in the loss of life of 400 people just in the last few weeks. we're in new, more dangerous space. >> dickerson: what do you make of this phase? >> what it underscores to tom's point is that you can't ha

but after paris, we're in a whole new world according to michael morell, a former number two at the c.i.a. and now cbs news senior security contributor. >> i say "whole new world" for two reasons. one is isis now has developed an attack capability in the west. they told us that they would do that. they've now done it in western europe. they told us that they w wld do that in the united states. they will eventuallyyo that unless they are degraded. the second whole new world here is the targets they've chose on the attack. people don't sympathize with, but they certainly understand when isis attacks a government target or a military target or even "charlie hebdo" when somebody has defamam the prophehe it's much more difficult to understand an attack on our very way of life that sows fear and terror. >> pelley: to that end, isis has posted new threats online and jeff pegues has more on that. >> reporter: the video purporting to be from isiss promised an attack on washington, but u.s. officials say there is no specific or credible threat against the united states. on capitol hill, police are
