Quote airstrikes alone are really not enough to complete the islamist state. They are besieging the city and fighter jets cant hit every fighter on the ground. President obama leadership being criticized at home by the present place of employment member leon, the man president obama handpicked to lead the cia when he first stepped into the white house then elevated him to the head of the Defense Department two years later. Panetta is sharply questioning the president s ability to lead. Panetta hammered the president. He said quote, president obama relies onie the logic of a law professor rather than the passion of a leader. He avoids battle, complains and misses opportunities. Here is panetta talkin to usa today. These last two years,rs i think he kind of lost his way. You know, its been a mixed message. A little ambivalence it nro trying to approach theseif issues. Lou well be talking all this up with former chief of staff jack keane. D democrats, well theyre staying away from president obama on the campaign trail. And, the president s top advisor said he made a big mistake when he said his policies are on every ballot in november. Pulitzer columnist political director ed rollins joins us here tonight. We begin on the Syrian Border with turkey where kurdish fighters are defending the town against an assault by the Islamic State. Turkeys military is watching and waiting for orders to enter that battle. Fox news correspondent is on the syria turkey border tonight and has our report. The black terror flags of isis are flying t over the town of syria. Kurdish fighters they still control the town. If it does fall, that would have hugeef strategic and symbol i can they control an uninterrupted swath of territories. We have now been pushed back two and a half miles from the Turkish Military from the syrian town over there. You can see a plume of explosion there from an impact. We can see and hear all the action going onn there. You can hear it right now between the isis dispearsz the brave kurdish defenders of the town. Two to three kurdish fighters are trying to fend off the terrorist. With ammunition running low, theyre barely hanging on. As for us airstrikes, two isis positions were hit recently near can a bane in the last several days isis tanks and armed vehicles have been freely moving across the countryside. The terror group is seizing the region despite stepped up us attacks. The people here including refugees want more done. Its very hard for me. I see my people are killed. Would you like to see more airstrikes around this area . Of course, we need it. We need more serious airstrikes. Turkish tanks are poised. But the tanks are not moving into can a bane. Turkey has trouble we w a rebellious urge. And it has uncertainties about the overall us led campaign against isis while the terrorists continue their bloody march near the border. Lou with us former armey vice chief of Staff Chamber of the institute for the study of war and fox news military analyst. General, you told us when this all began that airstrikes would not be enough. The kurds agree with you. Yeah, no doubt aboutou it. I mean, actually whatei were seeing here is something that resembles a conventional attack. Theyre using isis that is using artillery, mortars to prepare, tanks and also ground fighters and thats by definition a conventional attack on this town. And they should be quite vulnerable frankly to airstrikes. Im a little mystified as to why were not ableul to attack these vulnerable targets during the day time when theyre conducting their operations. I know weve made some attack on them and im not sure we havent had more impact and what were doing because these targets aree available to us. There were reports that the president himself is approving targets for for the strikes against the Islamic State. Do you believe that to be literally true, or is it simply just a broadld approval that would be giving . I think thats a broader approval. I mean, we have not had a president get involvedd in the details ofil Something Like that going all the way back to the vehement war so i suspect its a broader approval. I do know this there is a central that is overseeing the war and those who are doing the arab planning that the rules of engagement that govern airstrikes and target selection are too restrictive. Restrictive because theyre tryingo to avoid socalled Collateral Damage which is code word for killing innocent people. The fact of the matter there are a number of targets available that would not kill anybody, but the intended purpose of it isis, and yet theyre not able to strike them and hopefully that willtr be removed eventually. When we get air Ground Control is there to facilitate the use of these airstrikes. That will improve it significantly. Lou how soon should we expect those Ground Controllers to be there. The president has to p make a policy change. And as of right now, he has not accepted the militarys recommendation to do that. Some of it has i been done in iraq, but on a very small scale basis. This has to be significantly improved in iraq and also in syria. In syria, we can use coalition to help us here. Its not just us. We can get the uae and maybe saudis as well to assist the syrian army and the kurds. T to the best of my knowledge, im not certain were pushing on that to the degree wee should and we would have to commit ourselves to do that if we expect them to participate. Lou right on the border with turkey and syria, the turks reporting and showing just as we saw, tanks turkish tanks at the ready on that border to launch attacks, but not being ordered to do so even as the city of kabani say they fear of an outright massacre. E do you expect the turks to enter the battle . I think they would have entered it by now. Particularlily so because you want to get after isis before they got into the town, in that opentarian, they would be in match for the turks 5r78 order offers. They have air power. They could be striking these towers in the open. Theyve obviously made a n decision. Defensivefe only. Not offensive. They will defend turkey. They will defend their border regardless what was taking place on the other side of the border. You know theyve had challenges with the kurds in the past. There are issues there that complicate this thing. But ive been mystifiedk with the turkish lack of from the outset. Lou turning to the to leon saying this is a president who uses a law professors logic, does not want to to assert himself in battle. Wants to avoid battle in fact is hesitant, your thoughts. Oh, absolutely. I mean, i certainly do not have the close relationship to be able to express it on such a personal level and characterize it probabl as well as he has. But just watching the policy dispritionz 2009o to the present, some six decisions he has made where he has every single time rejected the Resource Requirements that the military o or his National Security team has provided to him to do the job, every single job. He has limited or restricted it every time with adverse consequence, and here we are again watching it unveil right before our eyes. He seems to be saying to us despite, destroy and defeat isis, he seems to be saying, degrade and contain. The mission appears to have changed despite the goal on that speech he o made a number of weeks ago. Lou and leon seems to be in absolute agreement with you saying hes looking at this conflict with the Islamic State as perhaps a 30 year war which would not be exactly degrade and destroy as an urgent strategy. General jack, always good to have you here. Ou thank you. Good talking to you, lou. As always. Lou president obama announced his administration will begin tightening protocol for Airline Passengers to detect those who enter the country who may have contracted ebola. Obama if they have the right information and they are omllowing those protocols, then this is something were going to be able to make sure does not have, you know, the kind of impact in the United States that a lot of people are worried about. But that requires everybody that they stay informed. We have to make sure our Health Workers are informed. Were also going to be working on protocols to do additional passenger screening both at the source and here in the states. Lou the president did not say when those enhanced protocols and intended screening would go into effect. Even at that, its unlikely to satisfy many critics who are calling for an outright travel ban. Patient zero tonight is fighting for his life inif a dallas area hospital. Liberian National Thomas duncans condition has worsened. He is now listed as critical condition. Hes been issued an emergency drug. And an american journalist who contracted ebola is back in this country and being treated at a omaha hospital. As overseas spain reports a spanish nurse contracted the ebola virus after caring for a sick priest being the first person infected with ebola outside of west africa. Overall 3400 people have died from the worst w outbreak ines history in westg africa. Were coming right back. President obama said his policies are up for a vote. All of them on the ballot. One ofd his top advisors said hes made a big mistake. How big . Michael goodwin, former Reagan White House political director ed rollins next. Fundamentally the issue he should be driving and the Democratic Party shouldou be driving is forward looking because the problem is how are middle class people going to make a living and what policies can we implement that can help. Lou the only words you need to Pay Attention to there was mistake. Here to talk about these midterm elections now 28 days away former white house director ed rollins. New york post. Michael goodwin both fox news contributors. I was impressed michael,mp were you not that he said pointblank it was a mistake. Right. Its interesting, of course. Axlerod if the reports were true was essentially cut off by obama and was well, the gate thing, there is four or five incumbents in real trouble. To be able to wrap obama around them in these states that went for romney are real benefit for if not his policies his lack of leadership. Hardpressed to know any policy he ever passed besides obamacare thats still a liability. Its really his failure as a leader that is dragging him down and his party down. Lou the idea that First Lady Michelle Obama is up with in massachusetts theyre running for the senate. Governor. Lou governor after having lost the senator. Shes dead even with the republican for crying out loud. Theres the lady putting herself on the line. Whenever we hear polls like that, it begins to suggest that this could be a real republican wave. Lou im talking about massachusetts. Massachusetts. Even for the governors raceon. This is the kind of thing that suggests therere is the discontent with the president. Is wide and deep. Blue new york where president obamas Approval Rating was 39 percent. In new york. Lou incredible. Even in this time of very Serious International conflict, when you have the former secretary leon panetta come forth, a guy respected by both sides and say that he says a real failure of leadership and its, in essence, what he was saying, and i think to a certain extent thats f the issue thatai people have with this country. If you think americanste want to vote for a Democratic Senate to give him the ability to do whatever he wants, i dont thin pk thats going to happen. Lou you had robert gates, Hillary Clinton who wrote about some of thewh same issues in her book, secretary of state. S you got really a center of power in the Obama Administration leaving and criticizing the president. I cant remember any time in recent history where youve had that kind of subjective criticism along the same line of his failure to lead. Of his failure to act. N netta went on to say, he gets discouraged and he kind of quits. These are damning indictments from the people who know him best. Jack said it best on the interview you just did. There were six major decisions that were put forward, and he rejected every one of them. Lou it is stunning the degreeec to which this president has rejected the advice of his generals, one understands his position of not wanting to be in war to withdraw from iraq, afghanistan, but to do so without forced security. Without being able to protect the people who have there to be able to protect the investment l of lives that we have spent over the course of the past decade in both countries is, to me, inapplicable. Lets go back to the election in kentucky. Senator mcconnell slipping in the recent polls. Should he be nervous. E he has to take theres probably goingil to be 100 million spent. I think in the end, hell win by a couple points. Lou Vice President biden, michael, it was a two apology weekend for Vice President biden the united arab emirates. I mean, the turkish president basically accusing him of being complicit on the wrong side of terror and creating the problems were now trying to clean up. It is extraordinary, every time he opens hisb mouth he says something dumb or wrong or stupid. The 116,000 killed wo 161 were killed to him it was 161,000. He read the speech, though, it made perfect sense to him. Is he even thinking what he says. Lou do you remember when everyone talked about him the 2008 election these two were an inexperienced Young College law professor and a bumbling about a phenomenon. Everybody thought it was kind of cute. I dont think anybody is laughing anymore. And i think biden competed any low expectation anyone had for him. Lou ed rollins and michael goodwin. Always good to see you. Time for a quick look at our online poll results. We asked if youre surprised that a president who believes in dependence refuses to relieve the issues on ebola. 72 percent said you arent preponderate question is do you believe the united s states should do intensive screening of all passengers flying from the ebola stricken nations. Cast your vote. Up next the Supreme Court, well, picking up the issue of same sex marriage once again. Fox news shannon will have all of the details next. d,fjdlj. Ecl yo, bro, you on woowoo .

Lou coming up here tonight new signs pointing to cooperation between the iranians and the Obama Administration, former ambassador Christopher Hill will join us to access. And former defense secretary leon unloading on the president ins us. The Supreme Court has cleared the way for five new states to begin recognizing five samesex marriages. The justices turpitude down appeal requests seeking to prohibit samesex marriage. Virginia began issuing same sex certificates this afternoon. We turn to shannon for our story. Day one of the Supreme Courts new remember it and the impact of a new decision is republicanneling across the country by declining to take up any of the seven cases the court stayed out of the debate for now. Which means Lower Court Decisions striked down same sex bans goes in he came. Im surprised about this and disappointed. I believe the people have this hearing taking place at the Supreme Court level to determine what is a significant issue of our time. In a number of states including virginia, officials immediately began issuing licenses and conducting weddings. This is the outcome. This is the outbelieve that we have hoped for. It is the outcome we have fought for and it is the outcome that the constitution requires. . the plablght impact of todays decision will likely bring the total number of states that allow samesex marriage to 30 along with the district of columbia. But by the justices staying out, the country remains divided. Between states where same sex can marry and states are the other are the law. There is still the possibility that couples in hold out states will not be able to marry if they are in relationship with with a person of the same sex. Supporters of traditional marriage say theyre discouraged, but not diswaited by todays decision. Theyre keeping an eye out from a ruling from the sixth circuit. If the court up holds that rule, it will create a split giving the Supreme Court a real incentive to get involved in the debate. We cannot allow a republican to function in a way in which our founders never. Thats completely unacceptable both marriage is at stake and the future of what kind of government we are. That ruling from the sixth circuit could literally come at any time. You can bet it will be on a fast track to the Supreme Court. Meaning the issue could easily wind up on the courts calendar this term.

Joining us now the ateam. Associated editor for the hill. Radio talk show host dana loesch. Thank you for being with us. Let me start with you. A 30 year war amidst all the volatile things that panetta said. A 30 year war has got to rip the gut of americans everywhere. Right. Thats tearving. Thats three decades. We have heard from military decades and experts of the middle east since the president committed to the air campaign against isis that this was going to take many, many years, that the average insurgenciy lasts a decade and Something Like this is going to go on for some time. Longer than the administration initially estimated. So i think americans know that countering islamist threats around the world is something that is going to be an ongoing challenge. But when you say Something Like 30 years, that sounds very disheartening. Lou at the very best, sobering. Dana, your reaction. I just wish that we would have put a little bit more effort in prevention. Especially when we consider that the president wasnt taking the advice of many of his generals, a lot of individuals within the pentagon in keeping a residual force there in iraq. Of course, that all created the vacuum that we now isis or the Islamic State enjoying. They were able to spring up because of that. A number of things. Its so easy to act in a proactive preinventivive manner to keep it from becoming what it is becoming now. When i look at 30 years, i have little boys. In 30 years, theyre eligible for the draft if we ever have that reinstated. I have a a very brandnew way of looking at this and im concerned. Lou and at the same time, the national leadership. Vice president biden, it was a double apology weekend for him. Apologizing to the emirates and turkey for his statements. What the in the world is going on with this administration . The wheels look like theyre off. Panetta accusing the president of being diffident. I do think Vice President s are not new. He often tells the truth and its stuff hes not allowed to say as the Vice President. Theyre very frustrated in the administration about many of our allies have funded jihadist groups around syria and iraq and other neighboring countries for years now. And that, you know, in particular turkey has been a passer and a conned uit enabling isis for some time. That is a source of frustration. What panetta is talking about is very damning because hes saying the president gives up. Complains. And actually the things that he listens which dana just mentioned, prevention that he didnt come to he didnt negotiate in iraq. He ruled out Ground Troops in this current operation. He drew a red line about chemical weapons in syria, and he backed up on that. All these things are an incredible criticism of the president s policies. Panetta is saying, its a bit too late. You know, with joe biden in terms of offending turkey and saudi arabia, is it really all that different than what the president behind the at when late last month he was speaking about how certain of our allies need to stop enabling certain faxes. When i consider what joe biden said hes sort of criticizing what the administration has done in terms of come batting ga daffy. We completely did a 180 with regards to how we were going to handle assad. So its confusing. This happening simultaneously while leon panetta who i dont think anyone can say he lacks credibility. He had two of the most influential positions. I dont think anybody is able to brush off that criticism. Plus joe biden and all of this, it doesnt do anything to lift those poll numbers of americans saying they have no faith in the administration and the government to protect them . lou of course, the white house said he was not legitimate as a critic of the administration. You know, josh earnest replying to a question asking if he was a legitimate critic and, of course, he said absolutely not. Lets turn to one thing that perhaps will lighten hearts here. We got about 30 seconds. Ab, Edwin Edwards he is the man for the Democratic Party and louisiana going after that congressional seat. What do you make of his kd . Well i think hes running as a character. And i think that he will get a lot of local support because hes a longstanding character in that state. Hes very beloved. Thats probably the extent of it. I dont know if hes going to win over young people who have never heard of him, but i think he deserves credit for trying. I heard a wonderful interview with him recently about how he thought this was the right he had one more calling and this is what he had to do. Lou and 87yearold sixth longest serving governor. Dana, you get the last word on this. God bless america, lou. You know god bless america. This is why i like politics. You never know exactly what youll get with it. Lou thanks a lot. Amen is all we can say to that. Our quotation of the evening this one for former secretary treasury chief of staff chairman and ceo of merrill lynch. Doonld, and he said and i was thinking of mr.

Lou a few comments on the slow moving train wreck thats playing out in the Democratic Party. Right now three of the most followed forecasters, the washington post, the new york and nates blog give republicans a 58 percent chance of retaking control of the senate in part because Democratic Candidates are trailing in critical battleground states and also because president obama just cant help himself. Hes the gift that just keeps on giving to the republican party. Listen to this new political ad out of kansas. Now, Barack Obama Says im not on the ballot this month, but make no mistake, these policies are on the ballot. Every single one of them. Obamas candidate for senate in kansas. Greg orman is a vote for the obama agenda. Jokers whoa tough stuff and a growing number of polls says, yes according to gallup 32 percent of voters are going to choose a candidate . at the voting booth. That sends a message of opposition to the obama agenda compared to only 20 percent who will vote for a candidate that supports the obama agenda. The margin is similar to 2010, when democrats lost control of the house. How much trouble is mr. Obama in here . The obama is doing so poorly that even saturday live is taking shouts at him. Mr. President , thank you for joining me. Obama its great to be here, steve. Is it . Obama not particular no. Now, mr. President much has been made about the coalition youve assembled, but it sounds like america is bearing the brunt of this campaign. Steve, thats how we roll, we roll slow and deliberately. Almost like we have no idea where were rolling to. Lou its far too early for a celebration, but the time seems right for at least a modest hope for a lot of change. A slight g. O. P.

His new book is entitled outpost. Life on the front lines. Available tomorrow in bookstores near you or at your fingertips online. Good to have you with you us. And congratulations on the book. Its terrific. We wish you all the best with it. Ive got to ask you as you watch what is happening right now in the middle east, do you see any seeds the time that you were there, in the early years of the of the Obama Administration 2009 and 10 that would have implied what were witnessing today. Oh, i think so. It a tough part of the region, but if you start with the premise, there are good guys and bad guys. You might be in some trouble. I think you have to be very careful who is a good guy there. So certainly that was clear. And i think it was clear that the administration really wanted to follow up on the president s Campaign Promise to get our troops out and end the war. And as its been pretty clear, its not so easy to end the war there. Lou not so easy to the end the war there. And as you say, the difficulty of choosing good and bad guys there is almost at the same level of listening to president s rationalize the results of their foreign policies when it comes to the middle east whether that president be president obama or whether that president be george w. Bush. We are back on another conflict with a terrorist organization. When in fact we havent resolved or won the conflict with any other group, whether in afghanistan, whether it is in iraq, this superpower of ours seems stalemated and frustrated at every turn. Why is that . Its very tough. Basically, when we went into iraq, we took a country that was run by the sunnies. Alb it Saddam Hussein and flipped it to be shia run and that was the for the first time in several centuries. And history was not just what happened last tuesday. In that part of the world, were talking about thousands of years. So the sunnies have never accepted shia rules. We ended up with a tough guy named ma lackey, weve been dealing with a very, very difficult situation. When weve been trying to get other allies, theyve been much more worried about the shia then they have about radical shias like isis. Lou ideas the United States appear like fools because that history as you say that goes back hundreds and hundreds of years is not unfamiliar . to our ambassadors, our diplomats, our security team, Many Americans and certainly much of the world. So why is it that we resist knowledge and comprehension when it comes to Foreign Policy whether republican or democrat . Well, to some extent it goes way into our dna, and were a people who basically have an optimistic approach to everything, and that every problem surely has a solution. But some of these problems dont have any ready made solutions. And frankly, if it does have a solution, are we the ones to bring it to them. This is a tough issue and the world looks to america to lead. Even though its not at all clear where we can lead this place to. Lou and yet we keep trying to intervene if not lead. We keep trying to dispose if not point of fact resolve. And i dont remember a great deal of contrition on the part of diplomats, National Security savants, full f you will, our military class, and im talking about our flagstaff officers about what has been achieved. That is noticeably absent, the notion of contrition. Part of it has to do when youre a diplomat you try to look forward and look at the problem to see if you can make it better. I mean, were not lawyers. Lou god bless you for that. Were not looking backgrounds to see who caused this mess. We look forward. And . and i think in that process maybe sometimes you dont look at the problems you created in the first place, and i think a much more american look at what has gone on in this part of the world. And its not just in iraq. And if you live in iraq, and i try to make this clear in the book, you realize it was a good day when saddam had left the scene. It would have been a better day when we understood what we were dealing with sunni and shia and that has taken a long time to figure out. Lou are you being surprised by the criticism that is being lodged at this president. Secretary of state Hillary Clinton obviously unkind words. These were people who were closest to him and Foreign Policy and carrying it out. Your thoughts . Well, i must say, ive worked for a lot of different president s, and you try to give them your best job and also your loyalty, i am a little surprised when people criticize him as if they had some bleacher seat to the action. I mean, they were right there in the middle of the action, and it is a little surprising when they go after someone, a president , because they were right there in the first place. Lou they may not have been in charge, they had their hands certainly on the levers. Thanks for being with us. The book is outpost. We recommend it to you highly. Available online in bookstores tomorrow. Ambassador, thanks for being with us. Thank you. Pleasure. Lou time for your comments. Ebola remind that you say the border should always be secure.
