the approach currently used in iraq cannot be transferred to syria. sarah: let's talk more about iraq. how much of a setback is it for i.s. to lose this territory? >> iraqi security forces have regained momentum. whoever controls ramadi is about to control fallujah, probably the next step. the next goal will be mosul, probably in the spring. it will be more difficult. ramadi is a city of 300,000. mosul is about to money and people, so it is muh more challenging. sarah: we have bombs being dropped on syria. where do things stand in the big picture in the fight against i.s.? >> what is needed by the international community is strategic patience. i would warn against euphoria. i.s. has not been defeated. in the past, it has struck back after military defeats. i would not be surprised if we see some kind of return crisis in syria under different circumstances. sarah: thank you for sharing your insights today. parts of northern england remain underwater despite a lull in the heavy rainfall causing flooding. hundreds of troops have been deployed to evacuate

rekindle the alliance david petraeus had managed during the surge which destroyed al qaeda in iraq and which helps us stabilize iraq which is to bring the sunnies into reconciliation and into the central government. so, this is a test not only will isis lose but it's a test whether the iraqi government, which is under the thumb of the iranians abandoned by obama in 2000 is 1 -- 2011 will allows the sunnies to retake ramadi and keep it. that, i think, is the most important issue on the table, and we don't know the answer yet. >> a.b., you were asking groups that have some things in common but a lot of things that they do fight about to come together, to make this win. and as charles said is, there are so many different complications with this. >> that's why it's so complicated. when they say they are going to clear it in 72 hours, we can be hopeful when it was just in may when general dempsey said we are not driven out of ramadi. they drove away. for them to try to come back and they have made progress, it is serious, substantial progress for the iraqi forces to have done this, but that they did it wi

iraq. this house and then gave without intervention. i think the reason a number of us oppose the motion about the airstrikes in iraq was very simply. we had into beaten isil despite nearly a million security forces on the government payroll and that brings us to syria because we have nothing near that and we still don't have that plan. it was absolutely necessary for the government and people of iraq. it is as if you are seeing the angel of death. how can i carry on on a dalia basis. we have to acknowledge they are at war with us. this isn't a tone of choice. in the defeat of isil and its ideology will be the work of many years of the decade. the mission was the civil war it was impossible to achieve that is the necessary first step into the agreement of the international support that can be seen to that transition. i do believe the government was able to offer to minister the caption from isil in syria to the satisfaction of the committee and in the wake of that ibb of the kind mr. made the point revealing when he mentioned the real plan and that is the ideal solution

a man in iraq used the site to play the oregon lottery and won the $6.4 million jackpot. millions of dollars to iraq raises questions. >>> we just took a good deal of time consulting with u.s. attorney general, the oregon attorney general and trying to make sure that everything was in indeed legal. this is absolutely unprecedented for the oregon lottery. >> anchor: so that iraqi winner decided to stretch winnings over the course of 20 years. last week he received the first payment of $256,000. >> anchor: as it goats closer to christmas and more and more packages are shipped police in california are taking action to prevent theft. it's called a bait box and it's a new tool that is helping catch crooks in the act. paying for an easy holiday steal are finding an unwelcome surprise inside these boxes. >>> we're taking items, we're putting them in our packages and then we're also putting tracking . >>> dressed in was watt street clothes matthew doe shows us how . >>> we're trying to make it look as real as possible . >> reporter: he leaves a box next to a front door . look as much as we ca

. >> reporter: this is a road in northern iraq that has been used to transport illegal oil for isil.rmed group had been able to sneak its trucks in among other legitimate oil transporting tankers. thousands of barrels of cued oil a day can pass through up to the city of kirkuk. >> translator: all roads were clear in the past, tankers carrying isil oil were used. they also used side roads. we cut all of the roads off by digging a ditch around the whole area. >> reporter: crude oil is a major source of money for the armed group. in the past, it's used mediators and businessmen in iraq's kurdish region to sell its oil nationally. >> translator: about a year ago we learned that huge amounts of ilz oil were being smuggled overseas. 15 people were arrested. . later we found out that influential figures were involved. >> reporter: isil also used a road stretching from raqqa to mosul to transport the oil. but the international coalition and iraqi troops fighting isil for control of the area have made that harder, which means not only is it harder for iltz to get oil revenue, but it's more di

iraq or syria. that is what groups like isil want. they know they cannot defeat us on the battlefield. isil fighters were part of the insurgency we faced in iraq. but, if we occupy foreign lands, they can maintain insurgencies for years, killing thousands of troops, draining our resources, and using our presence to draw new recruits. ,he strategy we are using now airstrikes, special forces, and working with local forces fighting to regain control of their own country, that is how we will achieve a more sustainable victory. it will require us sending a new will not require us sending a new generation of americans to fight and die on foreign soil. here's what we cannot do. against onern another by leading this fight be defined as a war between america and islam. that is what groups like isil want. isil does not speak for islam. they are thugs and killers, part of a colt of death. -- cult of death. they account for a tiny fraction of more than one billion muslims around the world, including patriotic muslim americans who reject the hateful ideology. the vast majority of terrorist victims a

we have not beaten isil in iraq despite nearly a million armed security forces on the government payroll. that brings us on to syria because we have nothing near that in syria and we still don't have that plan. >> the position in iraq was desperate. baghdad s threatened by the advance of isil. it was absolutely necessary that the international community went to the aid of the government and people of iraq. i -- >> talks about the desperation in iraq. i just had an email from someone who i will keep anonymous because they're working in qqa. they say this. daesh are the death that is stretching from the ice. when you see them, it is if you are seeing the angle of death. they're in raqqa right now. howe can i carry on exposing my chide to severed heads and bodies on a daily basis. a mother in raqqa. >> well i agree with my honourable friend. the reality we have to acknowledge, whether we like it or not, isil is at war with us. we don't have to pretech some case about weapons of mass destruction nor is this a threat of citizens of country from their own government. these are about people at war with us and

iraq to conduct raids, gather intelligence and capture i.s.i.l. leaders as well. let's now cross to imran khan, who is in erbil for us in northern iraq. imran, if you could, briefly, explain to us what has been the main obstacle for the iraqi forces in terms of retaking ramadi? >> well, they promised, abd-rabbu mansour hadi, that they would be clear of fighters. it began over the summer, it's been beset by the delays, what are they. one is the weather, it's too hot. prime minister haider al-abadi said the troops couldn't fight. there was arguments over who would control ramadi after it was taken by iraqi security forces. was it going to be the iraqi security forces, the popular mobilization forces, the mainly shia militias, the sunni militias themselves. there was a lot of politics, a few practical delays. what happened now is an agreement has been made. the iraqi security forces have gone in. the iraqi army and the counterterrorism forces went in and took key territory. >> what is going on now is the battle that we see when i.s.i.l. is on the back foot, they wait until iraqi security forces get in. then they start shelling. they hope

been, but inconclusive at best and a loss perhaps is the clearest assessment what has happened to us in iraq and afghanistan where, our special forces, by the way, as you know, are fighting bravely and basically all of the time. what are we doing here? there is no -- there seems to be no honest dialogue about the ineffectiveness of what the hell two administrations have done in iraq, in afghanistan, and we continue to perpetuate the dribs and drabs of forces which, by the way are some of our very best americans, and we're putting them in harm's way, and i still can't hear from one of our leaders, not from the pentagon, not from the white house, why in the hell are they there in such small numbers, and what is the strategy, and what is the purpose? >> yeah, no, it's very difficult to explain. this is the job of the commander in chief. he hasn't done that. he hasn't articulated a strategy. he hasn't said where, if not u.s. ground forces, where are the other capable forces going to come from that can reinforce any u.s. special operations teams that can be strengthened by them to drive isis out

joining us now a democrat sfr massachusetts, he served four tours in iraq as a marine and as a member of the house armed services committee. when you heard that testimony this morning, what was your reaction to it? >> first of all, there's no question these are combat troops. i was a military adviser myself in iraq in 2004. and when the iraqi army unit we were mentoring came under attack and started to get overrun, my platoon went to their assistance and it started the biggest bat toll that time. there's no question this is a combat mission. my concern is we don't have a bigger strategic political plan to ensure the long-term success of whatever military action we take on the ground. >> when you listen to what the secretary says these soldiers will be doing, conducting raids, frees hostages, capturing islamic state leader, that description means there will be casualties? >> absolutely. this is a risky mission. they will be very much in harm's way, and we've got to be prepared for that. we also have to make sure that they are setup for success and they have a strategic goal that is ach

used as human shields by isil. so far they have fled close by areas or cities in iraq. >> tell us about the kurdish airstrikes. what's changed in the way that the iraqi army and their partners have worked to make them be a bit more successful the this time? >> the iraqi forces have been trying to surround ramadi for months now. now they are trying to use air power. it is not just coalition strikes, but trying to help them move forward. the tactical approach is the fact that iraqi forces go in, they try and gauge the resistance to facing some isil fighters and call in either airstrikes or try and push forward into that particular area. from the front lines, they've seen some pictures that have come to us. sometimes they coordinate the iraqi forces, sometimes with the airstrikes. >> thank you very much indeed for giving us a clearer picture of what is happening in ramadi, thank you very much. >>> the new leader of one of syria's most powerful rebel groups vowed to take revenge for the killing of his predecessor in in a air strike on friday, he has called on all opposition forces to show a united front, but other
