rosen was an m.i.t.-educated engineer who also happened to be part of rotc, not unusual for that day and time. and he was eventually assigned to the signals intelligence service. now, you have to take into account the fact that again he's never seen a purple machine. but he's looking through an electrical supply catalog one evening, and he notices telephone switches, and he says you know what, this device has the ability to multitask, and the only piece of technology i know that can do that is a telephone switch. so he builds the analog with a collection of wires, telephone switches, and a series of inputs. there's a keyboard that plugs into the various inputs. and in september of 1940, a little before pearl harbor, a year before pearl harbor, frank rowlett types in an encrypted japanese purple message. it runs through the analog, and it comes out decrypted. and now the americans are back in business. when purple is broken, it is a huge success. people like general marshall, the president himself, and ot

we'll see whether they listen. >> james rosen on iraq. picked up that the president said they are going to get this done. that will be the new iraqi government. and he did not mention any new stronger military policy on the part of the united states. >> well the only thing i'd add to that is that he specified the new iraqi government still to be formed, plus regional allies. but it was really interesting to hear the president talk about this terrorist army known as isis, or isil which has swept from parts of syria into some of the major cities in iraq. he was congratulating the northern iraqi forces and the kurds for retaking the mosul dam. the breach of which could have had catastrophic consequences. he said to the iraqi government that isis, he called it, the golf is at the door. he went on to say that isis threatens the entire middle east. and yet he also specified that the united states' goal here is simply to contain. not to destroy or eliminate or totally neutralize isis. and he said that just turning the tide against them, forget n

james rosen reports she seems to be putting daylight between herself and the incumbent. >> reporter: in her sharp eest criticism yet hillary clinton said that president obama is cautious on foreign policy and lacks an overarching framework for it. >> she's looking at the near term future of al qaeda and isis and all these groups and saying, you know what, we failed to e defeat them. that's going to be put on me if i'm the candidate. so i better separate myself out from some of the policy troubles in the international arena that the obama administration may be noun for. >> reporter: clinton cited the early stages of the syrian civil war when the commander-in-chief rejected her advice to arm moderate rebels. the failure, clinton said, to help build up a credible fighting force of the people who were the originators of the protests against assad, there was everything in the middle, the failure to do that left a big vacuum, which the jihadists have now filled. speaking to "the new york times" last week, president obama derided clinton's proposal as a fantasy. >> this idea that we could p

steve rosen berg has this. this is the scare in heart of moscow.ry time i come here, i remember 25 years ago mcdonald's opened the first doors here. i was studying here and came down. the crowds were incredible. the queue went all the way around the square. it took me three hours to get inside and be served. such was the level of excitement that american burgers were burst through the iron curtain and served up in moscomoscow. today it's a different story. there's no customers because it's shut. the food watchdog has ordered the temporary closure. the watchdog said there's a number of tests conducted because they've uncovered numerous violations. it says priority remains to provide a safe action quality product. what's interesting is before the closures were announced, there was a pronounce outside this restaurant. a giant toilet was parked out side here to register complaints at the kind of food being sold inside. critics of the government argue this has nothing to do with food safety. it's all about go politics. relations between us russia and we

chief washington correspondent james rosen reports, it's a war that many people feel america is losing. >> gaze upon ferguson, missouri, the new epicenter of racial tension in america, is to observe a city transforms in demography and knk economics fr quarter century ago. when the majority was white, its median income was higher than that of missouri as a whole. today with ferguson two thirds black, the median income has inched up to $37,000, but the lags behind missouri's state income by a full $10,0 thou,000 year, meaning as their racial composition reversed, so did their economic position. >> the notion of working class people not present there for that black community, and i think it has helped to impoverish them. if we think back to the war on poverty and taking steps to try to deal with it, you understand the limits then of what the government can do when you don't have people making their way in terms of the political structure, in terms of the economic structure. >> the war against poverty will not be won here in washington. it must be won in the field. >> though announced in t

an administration official told james rosen that they think probably isis will outlast the presidentch is a pretty frightening idea when you see how quickly they're metastasizing, right? >> yes. >> if you think of this a couple years down the road, what's it going to be like? they need to get on top of this immediately and eradicate it. it can't be the sort of thing we say, oh, we need to learn to live with us because they're going to eventually attack the united states. >> does the president face the ip evidenten reality this should never have reached this point on his watch? >> i think so. i think the fact that, of course, it's great that we have a report now that's saying that this was going on for a long time, but that's just common sense. these kinds of things don't happen overnight. >> right. >> they don't -- >> but nothing was done. >> i was going to say, if i'm allowed to disagree with ms. powers who knows a lot more about this than i do, the president of the united states in a not too long ago article in the "new yorker" magazine referred to them as the junior varsity team,

just a few moments ago, james rosen was pressing the sportswoman at the state department saying it was year ago this very week that president obama was mulling u.s. air strikes in syria. he pulled back. james was pressing on whether the president's failure to act a year ago helped lead to isis gaining strength. listen. >> last year the president made clear he did make a decision to strike. that he wanted to go to congress. the two are not conflicting. it wasn't a change of decision about what to do so. it was a change of decision about tactically how to do it. >> reporter: you can see e administration saying it was a question of tactics but certainly a lot of tough questions for them now and in the days ahead about whether the president's failure to act a year ago which the administration tauted that the pressure they put on president assad in syria enabled him to turn over a large stockpile of chemical weapons. there was not a u.s. attack. the civil war has continued and we see isis' threat level growing by the day. >> a lot of people think it left that opening for isis to grow very s
