now, we get the president and susan rice telling us, well, calm down. really, we're pretty safe. don't worry about it. whose message are we supposed to believe here? >> well, we have to come up with an answer, don't we, paul, because if you -- >> because we ask the question. >> anybody who's been watching this, what is this all about? so we'll come up with what i think is an explanation. barack obama is in the last two years of a presidency. he does have an agenda. by and large a domestic agenda. a little history, go back to the presidency of lyndon johnson. there was a famous phrase during the johnson presidency, he was guns versus butter. spending on the vietnam war versus spending on the great society. it was a dilemma because it was hard to do. i'm convinced that barack obama has concluded he's not going to allow the last two years of his presidency to be dragged into what he calls a long term overseas expensive military commitment. he simply won't go there. he wants to take that money and spend it on his domestic policy. >> the way i understand this national security strateg

national security advisor susan rice.ause] >> good evening, everyone. eric, thank you for those extraordinarily kind words. i want you to know, as you were singing my praises carrie is over there panting me, questioning every word of your kindness. so i appreciate it all the more. but, eric, i really do want to thank you genuinely for your many years of friendship and partnership. it has really been a tremendous honor to serve with you in president obama's administration, and i know i speak for all of your colleagues and friends in the administration and around the world when i say how grateful we are to you. thank you for all you've done during your outstanding service as attorney general. to make our country better and our world safer. we will miss you mightily. [applause] and, john kerry, i love you too. [laughter] i'm the cleanup act, so why will try to be relatively brief, after what i know has been quite a long day, actually a long couple of days. john and i were talking before i came on stage and we wanted to thank

and susan rice stepping to the podium to unveil a new national security strategy. last time they unveiled a strategy in 2010, they talked about down playing counter terror as a central part of their strategy. i pressed josh earnest. >> in retrospect was that naive? >> not at all. one clear piece of evidence to indicate that strategy had success. the president had success in building a coalition of 60 nations to take the fight to it isil. >> reporter: we are told that susan rice will say climate change is a major national security threat and a claim critics will jump on in a week in which his strategy in dealing with islamic militant its is very much under fire, jenna. >> we are watching the authorization of use of military force and if the president will go to congress and ask for that and the language that susan rice will use to describe isis. will they talk about is slammic extremism in this big strategy speech or not? >> reporter: no violent extremism is the term they keep using. just this morning a top democrat on the house armed services committee said it is t

i wouldn't bother getting that close to susan rice. i watched it on c-span. i will tell you, it was an embarrassment. an embarrassment to our country. it was like listening to the midwest class valedictorian listening to the rotary club. the speech was pure mush. then you get the vogue words and vogue tribute. the word extensional has become way -- putin has an extensional arsenal and he's a real problem. most extensional threats don't pop up and say hicks i'm an extensional threat. they become extensional threats. at the rate they're expanding in the middle east and the world it's becoming a threat. it already is for people in the east. >> i'm just a country boy. i hear extensional threat. youyou mean people that want to kill us and destroy us? (?) >> yeah, it's a sad sad state of affairs. this president can't admit his wrong about anything. the tone of this speech, if you listen to it beyond the bumper slogans that don't constitute a -- it was self-congratulatory. the whole thrust of susan rice's remarks, we've done really well and we'll do more of the same

we need not worry about it. >> susan rice and the president are the people we should believe? they're telling us what the real administration policies? >> well, here is the thing that i wonder at. it's very dangerous for a member of this administration to invoke world war ii because it reminds us of a time when the president of the united states understood that if our allies were faultering, we would be living at the point of a gun. he said this to an isolationist congress. this is a time when one vote separated us from the draft when we desperately needed an army and general marshal called begging. it's an amazing era for them to bring us back to a time when there was leadership of the united states. >> okay, dorothy, fine. they're saying basically, look this isn't the hitler threat. this isn't even the soviet union threat. this is a rag tag -- it's a bunch of largely disorganized terrorists who they are spread out all over and hit here or there but that doesn't threaten the existence of the u.s. >> here is the thing. this is precisely what people said at the time of world wa

susan rice is the president's foreign policy architect. is primarily responsible for the confusion we have seen with the president's lack of strategy on radical islam or going against isis. i think she is going to double down. she is going to say that this is actually a fight against violent extremism. she is not going to use the word jihad or radical islam. she is going to claim successes in iraq and syria. successes that we know are not there. we know what the president said recently trivializing the fight against radical islam, trying to say that we shouldn't claim it is an existential threat. i'm sort of wondering while we had the the president saying that susan rice saying that, what is that strategy supposed to be? >> okay, mr. stempson, i cited the u.n. report and the amnesty international report that say at this very moment children, 10 years old, okay, being raped, tortured and the world as they did in the 1930s looking away. not doing anything about 40 othousand isis fires at the most. are you telling me that the world can't defe

and within the last hour we've also heard from the national security adviser susan rice. she didn't have a lot to add, but she is certainly a new voice on this situation. >> we're obviously very concerned about the reports that have come in in recent hours. we do not at the present have any evidence to corroborate isil's claims, but obviously we'll keep reviewing the information at hand. >> to paraphrase something well known to people in the military from the art of war, it says if you cannot attack your enemy's strategy, what you must do is attack their alliance. so the argument could easily be made that this is an effort by isis to drive a wedge between the u.s. and jordan in this particular case. >> interesting point catherine. thank you. in terms of what is next i'm sure it's all hands on deck. >> yeah. the what is next is really the key piece here. what we've seen in the past -- and this is sort of the isis history with their propaganda -- is that they have become much more elaborate or they've embroidered their propaganda in a way that it's part of a rollout. it's j

today we hear from susan rice and carter said there is a plan to tweak it. have answer it best what would reagan do? >> we are celebrateing his birthday today by the way. reagan understood defeating evil whether it was communist behavior or the nazi behavior. reagan would have had an ally component. taking down the soviet union helped us make friends to encourage europe. he pushed their vulnerabilities and the soviet union didn't have the money to compete in a cold war and had to bend to the will. that is the overall plan. what president reagan would have done in the last month was to look at what president cici did. he went to the equivalent of the vatican in cairo and said this is your fault to the clerics. you have to show the way away from this. and to criticize and come up with a different way of looking at our religious and ideology. what did the president do? nothing. we are not aligned with egypt and when the muslim brotherhood has been stagnant at the white house. >> there is so much talk about isis growing and expanding that there is little talk ab

a new national security strategy from susan rice coming up at 1:00 supposed to be delivering that.e've got merkel and hollande in moscow trying to persuade vladimir putin to take the off ramp and not continue escalating what he has as of yesterday denied are russian-backed separatists, which the ukrainians say are russian regulars taking more and more territory. u.s. secretary kerry in munich at this security conference vice president biden in brussels demanding that russia step back. and the threat that the u.s. was going to start giving defensive arms to ukraine which merkel and hollande say was a mistake because it would only escalate. >> and of course the reports about this american 26-year-old american woman at the request of the family and the white house in the state department we have not named her and gone into her background. she's an aid worker captive a year and a half almost. the claims by isis that she was killed and they claim killed by coalition forces yesterday. >> andrea do you feel you're getting deja vu for almost a year solid this has been a two-front challenge

we have just turned around sound from susan rice. let's take a listen together. >> we're obviously very concerned about the reports that have come in in recent hours. we do not at the present have any evidence to corroborate isil's claims. >> national security advisor susan rice reacting to this news. michelle said this is a coordinated response from the state and white house. how does or how should -- as soon as we learn the facts in this whole thing, how should the white house respond? jordan has excellent intel. i imagine jordan would be work with the administration closely on this. >> they would. it's going to be very did difficult to figure out. this is an area control canled by isis. the only way we would know is if isis provide proof. if it doesn't, it's going to be very hard. there's limit to how close you can get with satellite imagery. maybe there was some contact. i would guess they're going to have to wait until they find more definitive proof. >> that's the matter of question. they're claiming this happened in raqqa, isi

susan rice laid out details there. other democrats are calling for a change of venue of the speech to eliminate any appearance of it being a one-sided little move. democratic congressman joining us now with much more on this discussion. congressman, thank you for coming in. a fellow democrat, steve israel, he was on with us yesterday. he says this whole thing has really put him in a tough spot. what spot does it put you in? >> here's what's frustrating about this. we've spent now close to a month talking about a speech and the invitation to the speech and the fact that speaker boehner went out of his way to avoid standard protocol. he misled not just democrats in the house but misled the israelis in saying this was an invitation on behalf of everyone. and instead of talking about the central issue that we ought to be talking about with respect to u.s./israel relations and our own national security, we are talking about a speech. i tried hard to pushback the debate to where it ought to be. how do we ensure we're cutting

you are ambassador susan rice right now. colonel peter. st made you ambassador rice. >> okay then. >> i cited yesterday mr. ambassador, two reports one from the united nations one from amnesty international said girls from the ages 10 to 12 are being raped tortured and forced to marry isis savages and that there are unparalleled atrocities going on in all the territory that isis covered, okay? on your watch ms. ambassador isis has gained thousands of square miles of territory which mostly they hold and every day little girls are getting raped and you're telling me that you believe somewhere down the line they will be degraded or whatever. what about all the people who are suffering now? do you have no responsibility for that? and you say ms. ambassador? >> well unfortunately with you don't want to fight when you are unwilling to send ground troops, nothing is going to happen. it's -- you know, this is such a sad thing bill. the atrocities, the barberrism in the middle east is so great. i can't respond to susan rice, i can't sink that low. >

i am pleased to have susan rice back at this table. welcome. >> good to be here. >> charlie: a pleasure to have you here. let's talk ability i.s.i.s. first, or i.s.i.l as the government seems to say. there's a question as to whether there will be an attack against mosul. what will dictate when that attack takes place? >> very simple, charlie when the iraqi security forces are ready and frierpd undertake a counter-offensive against mosul. the reality is we're in the process with our allies. we have over 60 countries in this coalition. we're in the process of training, advising and equipping iraqi security forces in four different locations across iraq and we have supported them obviously in their ongoing operations as they've sought to take back territory captured by i.s.i.l, we've supported the kurds as well in their campaign in areas they've sought to retake. >> charlie: but the kurds in peshmerga say they're not getting the supplies to do what they need to do themselves. >> they're getting tons and tons of supplies from the united st

will susan rice articulate a strategy today? >> the answer is no. last year the international terror threat was said to be as great as it was before 9/11 so the bases of this isn't a war on terror and there is no need to have americans in the region is being disproved every day. i am surprised isis' assets are not higher than $2 billion. they control an area larger than the uk and they have national budget that ahead of us. they are building a state. and every day that goes by and we don't challenge them allows them to build up. >> one of the reports i did had to do with this islamic manifesto about how women will live under the rule. i want to bring in shepherd smith who is reporting the story that was happening at the end of "happening now." he has learned more information. isis claiming a female hostage was killed in an airstrike. shep, what are you learned? >> reporter: the jordanians haven't commented on this but catherine heritage's group is highly skeptical of the killing of his aid working who was dealing with the on-going civil war. somethi

at this very moment susan rice is laying out the administration's new strategy for national security.he administration pushing back in her remarks against critics that claim the u.s. has been too slow at dealing with foreign policy crises like today's. saying we have to avoid making decisions based upon fear and should not rely on military power alone. joining me now is chuck todd moderator of "meet the press" and political director at nbc news. how kredably are white house officials administration officials considering this claim? >> you mean on the -- look not a lot of credibility actually because it's coming from isis number one. and it's the way isis is trying to portray things that it's -- you know that it was somehow a jordanian fighter jet that did this. so which is obviously the propaganda version of the story that isis would love for it to be true. that's why i think there is a lot more skepticism and always hesitance and skepticism but it feels more than normal when isis -- unfortunately as we know, this is all too common when they announce the death of another hostage. >> o

we'll see you tomorrow national security advisor susan rice getting brutal. even nasty about prime minister netanyahu's upcoming speech to congress. she is the latest member of the obama administration going off about the prime minister's speech calling it destructive to the israel u.s. relationship. "on the record" is all over this in just moments. >> this is a fox news alert. our worst nightmare coming true. people living in america joining isis with plans to attack right here. just a short time ago three men living in brooklyn, new york arrested, accused of planning to travel to syria to join isis and returning with a specific purpose to commit terrorism right here. now, their plans were specific. plenty of attacks on president obama. fbi agents police and even bombing new york's connie island. david lee miller is live outside the federal courthouse in brooklyn. david? >> greta, all three of these men are foreign born. but they chose to live in the united states. a country they rejected and seemed to hate according to the cram complaint. all wanted to supp

this case, the president believes that both ambassador power and the national security advisor, susan rice, will do a good job of indicating the administration's commitment to a strong u.s./israel relationship. >> really? a good john showing the administration's commitment to israel? joining us, our political panel washington examiner susan father rich choo and rick klein. she probably is the last person i would send this week. >> this is junior high school not diplomacy, right? >> weke how invited therefore we are not going to send someone else to your property. look, this is going to be a you tough situation for susan rice, regardless. you know this crowd at cpac. they are likely to boo what they hear from the obama administration. skeptical. much more likely to be on netanyahu's side as he makes the case. from the start this has been very blunt diplomacy about missed signals and protocols and here about basic invitations and courtesies. >> it's evolved into a complete meltdown. obama and netanyahu never had a good relationship. it's gotten worse and worse to the point now where i think

i am pleased to have susan rice back at this table. welcome. >> good to be here. >> let's talk about isis. there is a question about whether there will be an attack against mosul. what will dictate when that takes place? >> when the iraqi forces are ready to undertake a counteroffensive. we are in the process, along with our allies -- we have over 60 countries in the coalition -- we are in the process of training, advising, and equipping the forces in four different locations across iraq. we have supported them in ongoing operations. we have supported the kurds as well in their campaign in areas they sought to retake. >> the kurds say they are not getting the supplies they need. >> they are getting a lot of supplies from the u.s. and from other members of the coalition. it is with those supplies they have been able to make the progress they have made, including taking back areas like the starting point for the campaign. they have also had support of targeting from the air. also in syria, a month long standoff, isil was routed and conce

>> greta what's interesting is that susan rice went out today to give this speech. it was the first time in five years that the administration had put together a new blueprint for their national security. and one of the things she said was that climate change is considered a national security threat by the administration. and she also tried to down play terror in general as a threat by saying, look there are clearly problems out there there are concerns within the administration. not so much about a 9/11 style attack. but that there could be a repeat of, say, the paris attack. something smaller where al qaeda or isis tries to do something like that here in the u.s. but she said we can't be alarmists about this. clearly trying to down play the threat. that drew some republican criticism immediately from g.o.p. leaders who said, look, this is a week in which we saw that horrific burning alive of the jordanian pilot and for the administration to try to down play it in any way drew some scorn today. i think the broader issue for the administration is in this speech susa

and now susan rice is calling his whole visit destructive. >> let me speak to susan rice's language foroment. national security adviser of the united states does not go on national television and use a word like destructive without the explicit permission or direction of the president of the united states. she is clearly reflecting a president who is very annoyed by this who is angered by this. so what she said reflects the president very clearly. and this thing is only going to ratchet up after netanyahu comes. he's refused to meet with democrats separately. and you've got a big jewish meeting here in town, washington, next week. so the administration is playing this out and netanyahu is playing it for his election on march 17. >> wolf we might be -- you covered this -- you think of other examples. netanyahu and bill clinton were rocky. but even compared to those, there's nothing in modern times like this nor is there anything like the decision netanyahu has made to really identify and align with the republican party to a greater extent than we've seen israeli leaders -- align solely w

thank you for having me. >> susan rice.nal security advisor to the president of the united states. we will see next time. ♪ mark: i am mark halperin. john: today you are hired. tomorrow you are fired. ♪ happy national chocolate covered nut day, sports fans. barack obama, hillary clinton, and rahm emanuel. and a town hall with chris christie. but first the new poll out of iowa puts scott walker the top of the pack by healthy margin and raises some critical issues for jeb bush.

charlie: i asked susan rice if this would be the crowning achievement. bill: if the president along with our international partners could produce the kind of strong agreements that he has outlined and i have tried to describe, i think it would be a significant achievement. it has to be embedded in a wider strategy for dealing with other aspects of iranian behavior. we will push back against that and reassure our friends and partners in the region. trying to produce that strong negotiated thing is best of our available alternatives. charlie: and the number of centrifuges to go forward. how would that work? bill: just in the process of being negotiated, it's important to produce as long a duration as possible. a long time in which the rainy and nuclear program was under sharp international constraints and you have intrusive verification and mechanisms to ensure against any kind of a breakout. charlie: what is the point of 12 years rather than -- bill: the longer the better, in many respects. charlie: it's a number they would accept, i assume. bill: i think

susan rice outlined the plan, focusing on how the u.s. has defused the threat of large scale threats around the globe and what it will now do. >> this diffuse may for now reduce a spectacular attack like knive but raises the possibility of the types of attacks that we have seen in boston, ottawa, sydney and paris. to meet this morphing challenge we are combining military capability with local partnerships with the financial tools to choke funding and the international reach of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies. >> we are live in washington d.c. this new strategy, did we hear anything genuinely knew. >> this particular document does come out every four to five years, but what is significant is some of what susan rice had to say during the question and answer period after her remarks. she did indicate that the u.s. is looking at whether to provide lethal weapons to the ukrainian military as it tries to deal with the russian military in eastern ukraine. while she said that the u.s. is trying to respond to international crises in

. >> i want to play a sound bite from susan rice at the brookings institution today and made comments about the case of miss mueller. let's listen to what susan rice had to say. >> we're obviously very concerned about the reports that have come in in recent hours. we do not, at the present, have any evidence to corroborate isil's claims. we have a broader prospect with hostages around the world. we don't make concessions to terrorists or hostage-takers. we don't pay ransom. and we adhere to that policy rigorously because it is our strong view in our experience that when you make concessions and pay ransom you are only generating great erin inin -- greater incentive to fuel those continued operations and horrific attacks. >> and before i go and get a menyman mohyelding mohyelding's opinion. let me update that she is national security adviser to the president. and so in your view how might this development, if in fact it winds up being verified impact that strategy? >> the u.s. has a long standing position long known it does not negotiate with terrorist groups or pay ransom monies. ther

mike susan rice's comments seem to be escalating the situation between the administration and israel. >> it's remarkable antonio people watching this situation says it is worse than it has been in a generation between an american administration and the prime minister's office in israel. a lot of people very concerned. consider the fact that you've heard susan rice the national security advisor obviously a senior official in this administration saying the relationship itself is being threatened by the destructive behavior not only by john boehner but by prime minister netanyahu himself. couple what kerry has said, accusing prime minister netanyahu and the israeli government of quote unquote cherry picking information from those negotiations with iran and the western powers and saying that the information is being used to cast the negotiations in the worst possible light. going so far as to say that the united states is not going to be sharing information with the closest ally, and that stands ogain or lose from that relationship. >> beyond that, netanyahu doesn't seem to be helping bec

we heard susan rice say that netanyahu's decision is destructive to the fabric of the relationship.i hear that, a question that comes to mind is that comment as destructive? >> to not support this visit by prime minister benjamin netanyahu, for two reasons, first of all, it's close to the prime minister's election. we forget how important it is for foreign leaders to show their people they are close to the united states. this is in a way, an election tactic by the prime minister and seconds of all, president obama is not supporting the visit because netanyahu is going to argue to congress that they should not support the potential deal with iron. this is the nuclear deal and the president and his team are working very hard to negotiate that deal, and, therefore, the president prefers the prime minister could not come at this time to make that argument to congress. however, speaker boehnerments mentwants to use this to inform members of congress. he's going to use it to make -- help make the case to members of congress not to support a weak deal or a deal that does not ensure that ir

susan rice's comments, susan rice who brought you the lies about benghazi and the lies about bowe bergdahland now we are supposed to listen to her on this. when they accuse net rrm of causing destruction to that relationship, that's what they have done over the course of 6 years in treating israel in worst -- in the worst way. the way they have dissed this prime minister. the way they have treated this country and this prime minister in particular has been an absolute disgrace to the detriment of our national security. bill: no meeting with the president or vice president. declined an invitation to meet with democratic senators. what is he going to get from this? >> he's going to get a full-throated hopefully bipartisan if the democrats show up to hear his speech presentation of the threats that an iranian deal which i think monica is right is in the offing, will mean for the united states, for the middle east, and most of all for israel. that's the plan of this. you may not like it. but to do what susan rice did i think is needlessly. it's worse than partisan. it's hysterical. it creates

with national security adviser susan rice calling his visit destructive to the fabric of the relationship between israel and the u.s. speaking outside jerusalem wednesday, netanyahu said it appeared that the west had given up on its commitment to prevent iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. a claim secretary of state john kerry dismissed during testimony on capitol hill while questioning the prime minister's ability to make sound judgments. >> the prime minister as you recall was profoundly forward leaning and outspoken about the importance of invading iraq under george w. bush and we all know what happened with that decision. he may have a judgment that just may not be correct here. >> joining the panel this week, wall street columnist and deputy editor, dan henninger. and global view columnist bret stephens. let's start with netanyahu. why would the administration want to elevate this speech? i know they oppose his appearing, but why make it such a personal and highly political criticism like they have the last week? >> well i think there's a couple of reasons, paul. obviously, a public

this susan rice took to the podium to defend the president's stance. listen to this sound bite now, maybe 15 times and i can't understand it. eif you can understand what susan rice is saying here, listen. >> while the dangers we face may be more numerous and varied, they are not of the existential nature we confronted during world war ii or during the cold war. we cannot afford to be buffeted by alarmism and a nearly instantaneous news cycle. >> so calm down, lighten up. stop worrying so much. >> it's not like world war ii. that wasn't really a threat. >> it's just media hype. isis. >> fascism sweeping across europe and millions of people being killed and put into concentration camps. >> we saw a man burned alive. that's not the media being alarmist. we are seeing beheadings. they are sending out video of individuals, of human beings being burned alive and beheaded. >> nations being taken over. think what we did in iraq. large swaths of iraqi territory is now in the hands of isis. is that existential is that a tirk call idea up in the sky. >> stop you

susan rice, the one who blamed benghazi on that despicable video, says that the nation is stronger thane been in a very long time. do you agree? >> well, she's on a different planet. you know, this national security strategy would be great as a sleep aid. it's filled with platitudes and written as if everything is fine. russia's not a problem, terrorism is not a problem, nuclear proliferation is not a problem. it really is a cover for the administration's failures and some of the things that the administration has said in defending its strategy really boggles the mind. i mean, the idea that everything is fine, we're not in an existential threat like the korcold war, it's just incredible. >> the other thing that i found incredible, one phrase in there where they talk about patience and the strategy of vstrategic patience. patience for what? i don't understand it. >> the strategy in susan rice's speech were in many sense well in because patience there means your enemy's getting stronger. they talk about american leadership, the big brother in 1984 would appreciate. it's just exactly the o

tuesday it was the national security advisor susan rice calling it destructive.rd, destructive. wednesday was the secretary of state john kerry questioning the prime minister's judgment when it comes to iran and slamming his overall record including his support for the war against iraq back in 2003. let's go live to jerusalem. what's been the reaction to these angry words coming from top obama administration officials? >> reporter: well, the israeli prime minister is trying to just keep focus on the issue which is iran. yesterday, he was talking to party members and said listen i really have a lot of respect for the white house, i have a lot of respect for president obama, and his staff, he didn't mention secretary kerry or susan rice by name but clearly the implication was that he was trying to answer their criticism in saying listen i need to keep the world focused on iran. i need to save the israeli people from a possible iranian nuclear weapon and that's what i'm going to do when i give me speech. he realizes this political fraught tone surrounding the visit,

that's according to susan rice. she spoke following obama's national security.ng russian aggression stopping the spread of infectious disease promoting human rights boosting cyber security and fighting the islamic state and terrorism in general. the president did not lay out any major shifts in his strategy against isis but the white house says he's getting ready to ask congress to authorize the use of force against the terror group. we'll go live to the north lawn. susan rice talks about some of the successes in the fight against terrorism. >> reporter: she talked about how the air strikes have killed thousands of isis fighters. she also had to contend with the fact that just a short year ago, the administration was suggesting isis was the so-called jv squad. now, this document talks about isis as a real threat to the american homeland. she tried to say, look, the threat has evolved. listen. >> as al qaeda core has been decimated, we've seen the diffusion of the threat. to al qaeda affiliates, isil local militia and home-grown violent extremists. this diffusion

national security adviser susan rice said this. >> while the dangerous we face may be more numerous and varied, they are not of the nature we confronted during world war ii or during the cold war. we cannot afford to be buffeted by alarmism and a nearly instantaneous news cycle. >> is that the right way to look at islamic extremism? >> let me start out by saying if you read the national security strategy it's very complex. it's not about one president or administration or another. it's about the nation's strategy going forward. i would tell you that we are facing a form of -- a cancerous component of the islamic religion which has a fa nat six to it and they have declared war on it. the biggest challenge i describe is the wolf or the wolfpack closest to the sled is isis there are other wolf packs that are part of this larger expanding violent extremist version of islam. >> when the president talks about strategic patience when susan rice says this is not an threat, and we shouldn't be caught up in the alarmism of the news cycle, is that an adequate response? >> i don't think it is. i th

look, this is going to be a you tough situation for susan rice, regardless. you know this crowd at cpac. they are likely to boo what they hear from the obama administration. skeptical. much more likely to be on netanyahu's side as he makes the case. from the start this has been very blunt diplomacy about missed signals and protocols and here about basic invitations and courtesies. >> it's evolved into a complete meltdown. obama and netanyahu never had a good relationship. it's gotten worse and worse to the point now where i think the administration actually thinks they would be going too far by not sending anybody to conference. that is true. let's look what's happening in israel. netanyahu is going to come over here and talk to the congress. that hasn't hurt his chances of winning the election. he is holding steady in the polls. and, if anything his attitude has really resonated with the people of israel. so it's benefited him. i don't think the administration likes that i think they would like to see somebody else win besides netanyahu. it's all kind of bac
