we have seen in other fights going on the world, in eastern europe, and even stuff going on in syria or iraq and afghan in and around , or around the world. we realize there is a certain set of capabilities for any sort of near peer fight that we have not had to deal with, which we do not have the capability, and you have got to have the right people who understand how to do this. so, whether those capability sets that we think we need involve more cyber, more ps, moreion o electronic warfare, how much counter mobility or counter id do we need to retain? do we have enough air defense, is that balanced against intelligence collection, so how do you make this all fit? we're in the process of doing that. in one of the assumptions we have is that we are not going to get any more people. whatever these capabilities are, i kind of listed them the , question is how much of that do you need and what will you take away, what are you going to divest yourself of what marines mission, andype of what will that cost you to give up? everybody has got great ideas about what we need but there is not a lot of

and in both iraq and syria isil has not been able to reclaim any significant territory they have lost. so i want it repeat. isil hasn't had a major successful operation in either syria orraq in a full year. even isil's leaders know they will keep losing. and their message to followers, they are increasingly knowledging they may lose mosul and raqqa. they are right. they will lose them. we will keep driving them back until they do. isil turns out not to be invincible. they are inevitably going to be defeated. we do recognize at the same time that situation is complex and this cannot be solved by military force alone. that's why last month the united states and countries around the world pledged more than $2 billion in new fund to help iraqis stabilize and rebuild their commune pit. that's why we're working with iraq so that the military campaign to liberate mosul is matched with humanitarian and political efforts to protect civilian answers promote inclusive governance and development so isil cannot return by new grievances. in syria, as i've repeatedly said, defeating isil and al qaeda needs an end to the civil war pt this pushes people into the arms of extremists. the

arabia that produces more than 10% of the world's oil is immune from instability that is lengthy to syria or iraq sorry, go ahead. somebody going to ask you a question, richard? >> i'm just going to ask you, you look at the economic trend and the immigration trends and the terrorism trends and america's retreat. are there any global trends kurn currently that are likely to lead to more stability? >> not everything. over the weekend, an interesting thing in south africa. the fact that the party had been there. mandela's party got hammered in the election. you see the development of real civil society and democratic politics there. latin america is in many ways the most improved part of the world. you look at argentina and chile and you see the civil war ending. north america looks extraordinarily good. but as bad as great power relations are, u.s., russia, china, they're not bad by historical terms. i think you can look at it glass half full. what i'm worried about are the arrows. the xwrgreater instability and some extent seeing it in asia. >> speaking of great instability, the subject of maureen

today whether in syria or iraq or afghanistan, and he, also scolded russia's role. but libya seems like it's a whole more complicated issue. >> absolutely. first, there's no government -- or it's split. i i mean, there's many governments. and the forces that are fighting the islamic state are a coalition of militias that are very loosely affiliated to the government of national accord,or and so the united states' effors is to use air power to support that offensive.fe beyond that, you've got enormous challenges of building the libyan skate. >> ifill: how wide strd is i.s.i.s.' footprint in libya?by >> right now it's concentrated in the coastal city of sirte. i heard estimates of about 500 fighters. it also has a slight presence in the west, a presence in benghazi. but over the past year, we've really seen libyan forces of their own accord push back against the islamic state.st >> ifill: we've heard the president use an interestingte term in his remarks today.y he talked about the risk of this becoming global wackamole.a is that what libya is? >> this was an affiliat

instance, hundreds and hundreds of them and they're with a common cause and they don't need to go to syria or iraqhey do it online. the fbi can't arrest them just because they're looking at sites so they are really in a tough spot to identify these people and whether they're going to turn to violence. >> well, if there are all these individuals and the fbi has 900-plus cases open, isis-related cases. so if there are all these people in the u.s. like this suspect in the virginia attack, how much of a concern is it that they could find each other and link up a foreign terror cell and cause more harm than one individual can do? >> pam, i'm worried about this attack itself. if this was a terrorist attack, this person could have beheaded one of those victims and it would have sent panic throughout the united states or we have the nice problem of driving a car through a crowded area. any of those weapons are completely lethal and it is so difficult to predict them, but the fbi is monitoring the best they can, but they just can't predict who will turn to violence, as i said. >> just in a nutshell, what a

whether it's libya, syria or iraq. already, they're negotiations to divide these countries, partition them. we have to get ahead of this. we have to be a part of it. because military force alone is not going to win the battle against terrorism. >> we'll hear more details, if they do come out, from donald trump today. great to get perspective from you guys, thank you. >>> responding to a new report that links him to off the books cash payments involving politicianings in ukraine. i'll speak with the reporter who broke the the story. >>> plus, hillary clinton spoke to the fbi for three hours about her e-mails. an investigation that led the fbi director to strongly criticize her but not recommend charges surrounding it. well now, we soon could hear what she said in that interview. >>> and the terrifying moments of a life or death rescue. >> we're coming, we're coming. i'm going to break this window. >> we're breaking the window. you inherit lots of traits from your family. my ancestor, lady beatrice, introduced the elizab

jihadist who have infiltrate it had migrants going to europe have been posting on their facebooks in syria or iraq, pictures or interactions with the jihadists and they show up to the officers in germany and they say, no, we are cool people, we have never had any connection, oops, there is evidence. so this is one way. there are multiple ways including ngo's, interaction, depending on the age and group. the idea is to make sure that jihadists are not coming into our country. that's simple. charles: real quick, walid, it seems like a major pivot and i'm sure one welcome within the camp, within the circle -- donald trump's circle. how is that going to happen also? >> we have been pushing for this even before mr. trump becomes a candidate and he's the one that announced it finally. this is one of the most important strategies to counter jihadist. their spokesman say, we are engaging and you check, it's the muslim brotherhood or the supporters of the iranian regime . that needs to be a major change of strategy. once you have the partners, then you can win the war of ideas. charles: i got you, wali pha

troops who have serving in this in syria or iraq. i'm sure it's upsetting.ink that level of dismissal would bother them. last weekend i was at a conference where 15 prominent republicans were bothered. foreign policy experts were served at the top of previous administrations. it was extraordinary to see them. this campaign is tearing them apart. they believe in republican foreign policy and ideas about strength and seriousness and trade. for them to watch donald trump take toitit to a completely different place is traumatic. one thing i begin to hear is saying maybe this will end up in such a blowout that it will burn the craziness in the party out and that the republican party will be liberated in the next cycle. >> so you were talking in the break and you have a theory. i think you're dead on about why he is getting even more erratic on the campaign trail, especially at night. >> from knowing him over time it is not the candidate that we knew. i think he is absolutely exhausted. i don't think he has slept since he won the nomination and even before when he
