right now it includes the uae, saudi arabia, jordan, israel, qatar, turkey, egypt for the most part. no other country has the diversity relationships. i see the attempts with iran as a bit more tactical. but i did not see us going in the tank. even if there is a nuclear deal, i see this hedge small site -- multifaceted approach. i see it as downsized. it also has wisdom to it, too. i think the real debate is how do we move forward? how do we prioritize the region and the region actually in you want to support folks that are out there making the tough calls and doing this. we watched it very carefully. i just felt that at this particular point. the attitudes weren't improving and the expression appeared to be a flash point and that if we we'd me people first that be in a better situation. so i've been monitoring closely and felt that this was the appropriate time to make this shift. >> we'll have significant resources in patrol but they will be part of that multidisciplinary team. we expect we'll continue to rely on a joint force in this area to make sure with the various shifts that

, egypt can be an unreliable actor, but the uae, i find very hard that the uae would have spent planese united states knowing about it. >> what does this mean then for the united states, the fact that you have these two arab nations, egypt and the uae launching air strikes in that region? what does that mean for our country facing other threats in that region? >> something it means for the whole world. for years now people everywhere have been asking why is it only the western countries that are putting boots on the ground, military hardware. why aren't arab countries who are very well armed, they pout all this equipment from us, why are they not participating in the fight against islamist groups in their own lands? this is the first time we've seen this kind of concerted action to large significant arab countries participating, collaborating and attacking islamists in a third arabic country. this opens up the possibility that now we can see to the egyptians and to the uae, if you can do that in libya, why aren't you helping in syria and iraq? >> it does put them in direct conflict wit

right now it includes the uae, saudi arabia, jordan, israel, qatar, turkey, egypt for the most part. no other country has the diversity relationships. i see the attempts with iran as a bit more tactical. but i did not see us going in the tank. even if there is a nuclear deal, i see this hedge small site -- multifaceted approach. i see it as downsized. it also has wisdom to it, too. i think the real debate is how do we move forward? how do we prioritize the region and the region actually in turmoil, and how do you implement a strategy that takes into the second factor that i talked about, influencing their own interests, which we saw in the old quarter of -- arab cold war. >> thank you very much. i am especially happy the subject sent you back to augustine. fantastic. many people in the audience will return and read it for the first time. i wanted to defend a little bit the subject of the channel because i think the administration, the president has addressed this in various nterviews. i believe i made this case from the same stage a couple of times in the past. the case i will make i

the uae has been a steady partner as well as avid acquirer of american military hardware. air force participated in enforce fly tone that led to the overthrow of moammar gadhafi. defies consider documenty that the emirates would go behind washington back to launch attack for threatening to undermine the success of this operation. that is bobby ghosh's writing. david, we're talking about the i.g. report and the president's announcement yesterday that he's taking several steps to improve health care for veterans. what do you make of it? >> caller: i think it's outstanding. i'm 200% disabled vet. my feet are dying, my back was blown in half. i have other conditions. i have no problems with the v.a. medical system once you get in it. i don't know what everybody is talking about. i was up new mexico west virginia and they treated me like gold. i don't know if it's because i'm category 1, top, above even congressional medal of honor or missing in action guys. but what i do have problems with on the benefits side, there's two sides. there's the be fits side and the hospital side.

. >> translator: based on the intelligence that we have, egyptian and the uae governments are directlyved in this heinous attack, we stress that we have good relations with the good people of egypt and the uea. but the lick vinnie rebels rant wa*pbts to make it clear we'll always defends our homeland against this aggression. >> reporter: this man, the renegade general, base in benghazi, he began a campaign to crush the many rebel groups in may. but the libyan government accuses him of trying to take over the government. there were massive protests against him and his campaign. thousands of people rallied across six cities. this has been the story of libya since the revolution, the militias that that over through goverthrew gacalf uh-huhs takens against each other. >>> iran's foreign minister has arrived in baghdad. he's scheduled to mean the prime minister according to a rain irn television. following 24 hours of violence in iraq. three car bombs, flowedded in the oil-rich city of kirkuk, killing at least 18 people there. and there las been a bombing in erbil the capital of the semi au

martha: when you look at the complexities of getting these folks on board and the complex nature of the uae some folks think have been funding isis. when you dig deeper, it's not necessarily so that's folks would want to get on board. >> this has turned out to be a complicated mess. but i think what you are going to see is the administration's rationale for action seems to be expanding. remember when the president said we are only going to go off there to protect americans and save the yazidis trapped on the top of the mountain. now if you listen to the speech it sounds like he's trying to roll back isis for generally. it appears thed a menustration's rationale for action is widening by the day. martha: the president was roundly cite sighed for being on vacation. but he did have a lot of discussions with foreign leaders over the phone as far as we know. how do you think this is going. >> we have known for quite a while isis is this big threat. one thing that's important is we have seen some democrats in washington say that the up s. need to take more action. this is something that's very po

allegedly go into libya, the uae and egypt.pleased with the state's department to that. can you help sort that out? does the united states of america want our allies going after jihadists or not? because that seems to send the wrong message for future attacks. >> well, libya is a different case because the government there did not necessarily openly request the help of the uae and the egyptians so that was a unilateral decision by those two countries to attack islamist that are part of, in a way, the political fabric in the country as we are to admit that sometimes. and, of course, for the u.s., what they put forward as a reasoning behind why they carried out military air strikes against isis and iraq is that was a request made to buy the iraqis themselves. but, you know, there is something really interesting going on here, joe. we are ten years down the road now from the iraq invasion that caused such resentment against the u.s. in the region and here we are today seeing people in the region sparing about the fact that an amer

and the egyptians know it, saudis know it uae knows it, these were our principle allies in the region, we're going a different way, american administration feels that publicty shows they do not know how toing had foreign policy -- to manage fore an policy, there may be some truth to that. lou: on wall street, stocksfeld off, and dow eraceing its games -- gains for the year, s&p lost 39, and nasdaq fell 93, volume on the big board more than 4 billion shares. wilshire 5,000, today's losses at nearly a half trillion dollars. >> all 10 s&p sectors lower on the day, volatility index, surgeed smartly up 30%. for the month, do you and s&p posts lossed of 1.5%, and most of the nasdaq loss on final day of trading for july. crude oil down $2, settles above $98 a barrel, goal down $14. yield on 10 year, unchangeed. po . paoeubgs%, up next, more on the day's sell-off, steve forbes will jane us, and these phreuz en to my financial reports three times a day, coast to coast, on salem network, we'll coming right back. >> israel targeting hamas tunnels. fox tphaoug nationa news nationy my mother made
