as the obama administration expands its use of special operations forces around the world, the "new york times," reports the proposal now under consideration would use a base in afghanistan as a hub for special operations troops and intelligence operatives throughout central and south asia. the iraqi military says it has "liberated" the city of ramadi from the self-proclaimed islamic state. isil seized ramadi in may marking a humiliating defeat for , the iraqi army. for weeks, iraqi forces backed by u.s.-led airstrikes have sought to retake ramadi. in nigeria, the militant group boko haram has attacked the northeastern city of maiduguri , killing at least 15 people and feared the toll may be higher. it's the second assault in days after boko haram invaded a village on christmas, killing at least 14 people. the attack came just after nigerian president muhammadu buhari said nigeria has "technically won the war" against boko haram. israeli authorities say they are investigating newly released video which appears to show jewish extremists celebrating the death of a palestinian toddler in an

use those u.s. special operations forces to enable and to make those local forces more effective. one thing he said over and over again today is that they believe the only way to defeat isil is to have a force on the ground that can defeat them and also hold and govern the territory, and the u.s. beliefs that can only be done by local forces. interestingly, i think the other big criticism that came out of this testimony so far, is secretary carter saying the iraqi government has failed to integrate enough sunnis into their popular mobilization force, and he blamed the slow pace of trying to take ramadi on the inability of the iraqi government to have a more inclusive fighting force that has to include sunnis if you are going to take and hold territory that is sunni territory. and he said the iraqi government has to do more to get the sunnis into the fight as well. the big difference between iraq and syria is the u.s. has more partners on the ground in iraq. it has the iraqi government, the security forces, and the kurdish peshmerga in the north. in syria it's much harder to find p

. >> it's almost as if this administration has decided to use our special operations forces for ways in which they were never attended. never a strategy if we can discern the administration's strategy at all. a strategy that has a requisite number of regular forces that would have to be deployed in order to seize and old significant regions of territory. >> no doubt about that. conventional forces on the grounds win wars. thankfully, we have the best of all of that. the best special ops, conventional ground forces, best air power in the world. >> and all of them, likely, coming home if this administration has its way very so soon. a further vacuum about to be secretary ash carter in turkey to what end? >> the problem is, the president of turkey has told us for two years now as have the other arab states in the region that their priority is assad and his removal so syria can be stabilized and this civil war can come to an end. we disagree with that. because what was a priority for us has been a nuclear deal with iran. that has trumped this action. now we're on there with our hand out

>> i think he also said, pamela, that he was going to use special operation forces wherever terroristcurring. truthfully, that's what's been happening over the last ten years. i was in the pentagon when 9/11 happened. and joint special operations command jsoc strikes a lot of different places that the american public knows nothing about. the focus is on syria and iraq right now. they are upping their game there. they are increasing the number of special operators in those two countries. but you're going to see strikes against the other groups who are now attempting to coordinate with isis, boko haram, al nas ra, who believe they can get a brabding by joining isis. that's one of the things that socom and joint special operations command is going to continue to attack. the bombing in syria, specifically, is going to continue. i think you're seeing some better targeting now that we have better intelligence on the ground. and also some better techniques that are occurring because of the inclusion of the british and the french in that territory. >> peter, you noted that when obama first to

internet recently, but the conversion that was simply a mistake, that afghan forces had called us into your special operationforces. it is a long history as you and i both know of the u.s. targeting civilian facilities going to the 1991 gulf war. it was the bombing of the shelter which killed hundreds of iraqis. there was the bombing of the pharmaceutical plant under bill clinton, the bombing of radio television serbia during the 1999 -- >> al-jazeera was bombed in iraq and afghanistan. >> the red cross bombed in afghanistan. al-jazeera senior correspondent killed in april of 2003 in baghdad in a u.s. strike. a reuters cameraman and his spanish journalist killed in the shelling of the palestine hotel. then the shelling of the sheraton hotel in baghdad urges you to journalist were the only guests in the hotel at the time. and on and on and on. the commander of u.s. forces in afghanistan general campbell said in front of congress a couple days ago that obama's plenty just keep kind of a small force base at the embassy did it counterterrorism and force protection is not sustainable, and that they would be bette

it's important to note in ramadi they primarily use the special operations forces and some of the policeops. they're going to have to use the larger number of standard iraqi security forces if they're going to take mosul. we can only hope that, in fact, those 16,000 troops that steve mentioned are as capable in mosul, which is a much larger city than they have been in ramadi. >> the way isis is fighting is so nasty. they're using ieds in a different way. they're using cluster bombs. they'll plant these ieds in houses. when the iraqi forces move closely, the whole house will blow up. how do you navigate that? >> this is not unique to iraq. we saw that in many wars, vietnam, the russians used that technique successfully against the germans at stalingrad. the way you react to it is you're meticulous, very slow and precise as you go house to house, block to block. everybody would like to see ramadi taken in the space of two or three days. that operational patience the iraqi military is doing two things. one, keeping their casualties at a minimum and keeping the casualties of the civilians at

. >> american special operators bring a unique sweep of capabilities that make them force multipliers. to help us garner valuable ground intelligence, further enhance our air campaign and above all enable local forces that can hold territory occupied by isil. >> the question during tuesday's hearing, but this hasn't been enough of a robust discussion about this really because even though the administration said at the end of october, that it was looking at taking these sorts of steps to increase it's -- it's actions against isil, there hasn't really been a full throated public debate about it the way we are seeing, for example, in the united king come. so with the announcement that mrs. going to be this force,

now that you're telling us we're sending special operations forces into syria, can you tell me where in any one of those aumfs there's the authorization to do that. >> well, i'm not a lawyer but i read them, too, so i can tell you the common sense meaning of the provision and the only one i'm familiar with which is the one the president submitted and i was asked earlier, one of the reasons why i thought it was important to me that it allow what i thought was essential to defeat isil. >> that's the one we haven't adopted. i'm talking about the ones that have been passed by congress and signed by the president. do they give you that authorization. >> i apologize. i can't speak to them. i don't know the other ones. i've studied the one -- >> could you get your lawyers to respond to me? i'm not asking you to give me a legal opinion but they have some basis for thinking that and i would say the plain wording of those two aumfs that have been assigned by the president, i would like to give you that authorization. i want to make sure we give you whatever you need. >> happy to get back to yo

operations in syria. rosalyn jordan is live for us, we are seeing i guess you can call an intensification. >> you can very well call it an intensification. >> before this special expedition force, what has been happening with the 3500 military advisors already inside of iraq. >> american special operators bring a unique sweep of capabilities that make them force multipliers. to help us garner valuable ground intelligence, further enhance our air campaign and above all enable local forces that can hold territory occupied by isil. >> the question during tuesday's hearing, but this hasn't been enough of a robust discussion about this really because even though the administration said at the end of october, that it was looking at taking these sorts of steps to increase it's -- it's actions against isil, there hasn't really been a full throated public debate about it the way we are seeing, for example, in the united king come. so with the announcement that mrs. going to be this force, essentially, for all intents and purposes is going to be working very close to the front line, if not right on it. you may see more people talking about it, and questioning whether the administration

special operation forces in general. all the services before we combined and has special operation forces. they knew what they wanted to use them for that they were not a prerelease of the services. i think that they create this world-class special operation forces particularly for the high-value target missions have direct action goes to the site to get what you need and come back. we have unparalleled capabilities. and as the only those of only improved over the last ten, 15 years. when it comes to working in the host nation forces we are not quite as sharp. there's a number of complex reasons for that which has been discussed by many individuals but i think the committee has to take the issue up. the leadership has repeatedly told congress that they think that the mission is intact more important and they intended to improve the interactive capabilities. but whether or not it is happening acting as a matter of great importance. with regards to the marine corps, not every problem unfortunately not every low end of the conflict can be handled with a small special operations team. so the question is who in the department o

begin with the president's plan coalition air power, a small number of special operation forces and help for local forces and give usd card if you will on the u.s. fight against i.s.i.l. for 2015, how would you grade it and why? >> well, i guess if i was giving it a grade i would give it for satisfaction, a c minus and d plus, for effectiveness maybe a higher grade and maybe a b plus and it's not perfect and i say that because this is a very unsatisfying strategy. i don't know how many times i saw members of congress go up to the hill and basically urge a very frustrated members of congress to be patient, that the strategy is going to work in the end but i have to say that a year into this now it's just beginning to get the sense that maybe we are turning the corner, maybe the strategy of squeezing i.s.i.l. on the ground gradually denying thermometm territory an forces especially we are seeing the iraqi forces are able to do more in their own backyard in ramadi gives you some indication that perhaps the strategy is beginning to produce the desired result. >> david talk to me about two months ago the president author

up to this point, the special operations forces have been used for one-off targets. used for a single target, going against it, and beating it, and going out months later for a different target. the secretary used a very interesting term that i haven't heard in ten years. the virtuous cycle which was unanimous in what crystal good. it's a high frequency, high tempo style of fighting, where the special forces go in one night and they not only hit their target, but gain tense, and that takes them to another target the next night and another one the next night. that's one. things that i think that we need to do against isil and i'm glad that the administration is doing it. >> don't the special forces need help on the ground? >> well, those are for selected counter terrorism missions, but i do agree with you, john, that we need a large ground component, primarily of local forces that we can aid, assist, advise and accompany. but too many american troops on the ground is counter-productive. and now we have the situation where too few american troops on the ground is equal

us. i am curious about the special operators versus ground forces. retired general ray during an interview this morning said in any war in our history we are going to have to put ground forces on the ground to win. we will have to do it. does that mean, seth, that it can only be special operators? >> i think the issue is how effective are forces on the ground. we have seen only special operation forces effective in the philippines against a series of jihadist groups because we had a good partner with the filipino military. in somalia we had luck with special operators and u.s. intelligence folks with the kenyans and ethopians doing the primary ground effort. the iraqi ground forces can't do it and that raises the issue of larger u.s. help. >> what about the arab coalitions? all of the different countries that joined us? troops from other countries. >> it is certainly worth looking at other countries. there are a range of other countries doing special operations including targeted strikes in syria and iraq. large numbers of ground forces. the problem
