almost a year ago, we were talking to steven hayes, where he was saying on camera, look, we're worried about what he called isil and they can pull off sophisticated attacks. that seemed the opposite of what the president told 60 minutes. >> give that information from the intelligence community. i would expect. >> i think from a variety of sources. arguing both sides, but the president said on "60 emergency" i didn't get a heads up from the intelligence community. now when the press -- you are saying jay carney did say a year ago. the president said on a news conference a year and a half ago. which one is it? >> what the president was doing -- i actually have -- what the president was referring to is specifically a comment from director clapper. something that director clapper has repeated on a couple of occasions. it's that it is very difficult to assess the will of in this case the iraqi security forces to fight for their country. >> so two days on "60 minutes" the president seemed to be pointing the finger at swramz clapper trying to say all is forgiven. >> very interesting. ed henry

steven hayes, senior writer, good morning to you. you describe two problems. one is the plan, the other is the president. start with the president, the commander in chief and his credibility. >> i think the challenge for president obama, the things he's saying today contra dwaict he was saying a couple weeks ago. whether you are talking about a claim's a fantasy that it could make a difference on the ground. whether you are talking about the speech, the president saying we'll deny a safe haven to anybody who presents a threat. the united states released five senior taliban commanders the intelligence community set were a threat and would continue to be a threat. so you have the president reversing himself in a dramatic way in a short period of time that leaves members of the congress and the public to doubt his ability to run the war, to run it effectively and to be committed to the outcome he describes. bill: are you reflecting the con southern we heard from dempsey and odierno and others already? >> i think i am. the problem you are hearing was prominently.

steven hayes out of washington. a lot more to talk about in the very near future.steve. >> thanks, bill. martha: all this makes the upcoming update from the pentagon very much worth watching today as the u.s. launch as blazing air campaign against isis in syria, all of this coming to us in full hd. could we be seeing first, call it gopro youtube war? we'll talk about that with a great panel and what the implications of that might be coming up. martha: all right. we are now late waiting for a live briefing at the pentagon we'll take you to live of course, as the united states expands its airstrikes against isis, this time going across the border into syria overnight for the first time. think about this for a moment. as our technology becomes more advanced, the video images that the world will see of this whole thing become starkly more dramatic. watch some of this. martha: wow, that is pretty incredible, is it not? stunning images as the u.s. fires tomahawk missiles into syria overnight. major change which we all watched iraq war. look at images from 1991. we rememb

steven hey hayes and charles krauthammer talking. >> the idea that the president is going to turn an arm that doctors and pharmacists he didn't want to arm before suggests his credibility problem. it's not the only thing he doesn't have credibility on. he has flipped on so many aspects. the war on terror was fantasy. it is a major campaign from the world super power from all of its friends he doesn't have the credibility to sell this unless and until he follows it through with action. >> it is a terrible disconnect between the ends and means. he talked about the rebels in syria as being composed of doctors, farmers and pharmacists. now aparen lit his aim is to destroy isil. the way he is going to do it in theory is u.s. air power and pharmacists. this is n that is not very credible. i am sure they are not quaking in their boots at isis. >> fox news polls show majority of americans think president obama is weak and indecisive. 54 percent say the president is not prepared to do whatever it takes to defeat these islamist extremists. overwhelming 77 percent believe that isis will try to

hayes. a horrific video posted online today by the islamic militant group isis claims to show the beheading of an american journalist. steven sotloff by an isis militant. u.s. government has not authenticated the video which comes two weeks after the release of an isis video depicting the beheading of james foley. isis said sotloff, who was kidnapped in syria last year, whose insightful dispatches for foreign policy, "time" and other news outlets brought the chaotic aftermath of the arab spring into vivid focus, they threatened he would be the next hostage killed. a statement today, the family says "the family knows of this horrific tragedy and is grieving privately." days ago shirley sotloff released her own video appealing to the isis leadership to isis for her son. jen psaki said, quote, we're sickened by this act. press secretary ernest said they will work to determine the video's authenticity. >> this is something the administration has obviously been watching very carefully since this threat against mr. sotloff's life was originally made a few weeks ago. our thoughts and prayers first and foremost are with mr. sotloff

steven sotloff to slam the president of the united states, just another day at the office. >> how is this coverage shaping the war debate? >> we have lauren ashburn joining us. we have steve hayes senior writer for the "weekly standard," and juan williams columnist for "the hill." huge headline, media war frenzy like 2003. does it remind you of the run up to iraq? >> no. in 2003 we had the administration pushing a war, an agenda, weapons of mass destruction and the press saluting, saying, whatever you want, that is fine. now 2014, you have the press pushing to do something, whatever "something" is and you have the administration leading from behind saying, we don't have a strategy and the press is pouncing on that. >> that is interesting phrase, there seems to be this demand in much of the media, not all, the president "do something," although military action is risky. >> i'm not sure they are pushing him to do something but recognizing what he has done hasn't worked to this point. you have a president would understated dramatically the threat from a variety of jihadist going back to the going of his administration whether it was the christmas day bomber or calls --. >> does th
