>> good morning, reena. president obama was trying to reassure americans that he has a strategy for isis. remember just two weeks ago he actually said the quote "we don't have a strategy right now." so there was a lot of backtracking over the last two weeks. and the american public clearly wants the president to get more aggressive, but last night he said this is going to be a different war than the ones we saw in iraq and afghanistan. not a large scale invasion with significant number of ground troops. the president compared it to the terrorist strikes in yemen and somalia. but, reena, dan, what he described last night is very different from that as well. one thing administration officials are saying, this is not something that is going to be solved overnight. this could potentially be an open-ended fight. >> karen, let me ask you, what about the response from congress? what is the likelihood then they will be going along providing the funding or the support? >> dan, it looks like the president could have the support and they're going to have to do it quickly. congress could have a vote on this as early as next week. the reason they want to do it so quickly isn't because they want to wrap this. but they want to get out of town, head back to their districts and campaign. in fact, yesterday one republican senator blasted his colleagues for trying to get this done so quickly, not have what he called a proper debate on that. he said, you shouldn't deserve to be in the united states senate. dan, reena, important to note, the one who said that, criticized colleagues not on the ballot in november. karen travers from washington. >> karen, thank you. the new plan to take on isis comes as the nation marks 13 years since 9/11 attacks. president obama will participate in a moment of silence at the white house before attending a ceremony at the pentagon. here in new york last night the so-called towers of light were turned on briefly. a test ahead of tonight's display. law enforcement across the nation as usual will be on alert. well the nfl says it has hired former fbi director robert muller to lead an investigation into how the league handled evidence in the ray rice domestic violence case. the firestorm over the case exploded even further last night after a new report claiming the nfl had the violent video of rice punching his then-fiancee months ago. here's abc's aaron kurterski. >> reporter: the nfl is still scrambling to get back on offense three days after ray rice's brutal attack on his new wife was bared for all to see. the league sent a memo to teams, saying when the new video evidence became available we acted promptly and imposed a suspension on mr. rice. commissioner roger goodell telling cbs news. >> what we saw in the first videotape was troubling to us in and of itself. but what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic and was sickening. and that's why we took the action we took. >> reporter: critics question why goodell needed to see the assault before taking action. documents obtained by abc news, show severity was clear almost immediately after reich knocked his wife out in an atlantic city elevator. police said rice punched his wife, rendering her unconscious. >> the league was never quick enough, decisive enough in the whole situation. and now it is trying to play a game of catch up it can't win. >> reporter: members of congress from both parties, even one of his own players, have called out the commissioner. >> the commissioner should be held accountable for his actions. certainly that's the expectation for players. >> reporter: the national organization for women called for the commissioner goodell to resign. and also, wednesday, espn reported new details of moments after the assault when rice dragged his then fiancee janay out of the elevator. a security staffer told espn, the football star said the woman was intoxicated and he was trying to get her back to her room. the source said when janay regained consciousness, her first words were, "how could you do this to me? i'm the mother of your kid?" protesters and police have clashed again in ferguson, missouri. officers stopped demonstrators from blocking a highway in protest of the shooting of an unarmed black teen, michael brown. about 35 people were arrested. mostly for unlawful assembly. police say some are facing assault charges for throwing rocks, bricks and bottles from the crowd. federal and local agents raided dozens of businesses in los angeles' fashion district as part of a sweeping crackdown on money laundering. about 1,000 officers fanned out across the city yesterday making nine arrests and seizing $90 million linked to mexican drug cartels. officials say the cartel used some shops to launder ransom money paid by families of kidnap victims. wildlife officials in northern california shot and killed a mountain lion that they believe attacked a 6-year-old boy last weekend. searchers using dogs managed to corner the lion in a 70-foot high tree, then shot it. the lion will undergo dna testing to make sure in fact it is the proper lion. well, ready for some good news about the environment?

threat since 9/11. >> these terrorists are unique in their brutality. they execute captured prisoners. >> reporter: the videotaped executions of two american journalists in syria stirred public opinion, ramping up pressure on president obama to take stronger action against their killers. >> the terrorists could pose a growing threat beyond the region including to the united states. >> reporter: exactly one year after ruling out an extended air campaign in syria. >> i will not pursue a prolonged air campaign like libya or kosovo. >> reporter: the president may be on the verge of starting one. congress could vote as soon as next week on whether to authorize u.s. military training of syrian rebels in the fight against isis. a fight the white house says could last for years. jonathan carl, abc news, the white house. the president making very strong words last night. not everyone in congress in full agreement to this strategy. jonathan carl points out midterm elections are just around the corner and in fact could be an issue some voters may be considering. >> and also what i thought was encouraging, a white house official said -- saudi arabia is likely going to play host to train some moderate syrian opposition members. however, i don't know, what protocol is for determining who is moderate and extreme. but it's good to see people in the middle east, other countries playing a role in this, that it is not an american fight alone, finally. >> one of the first issues a lot of people will ask if, in fact, will this be only a u.s. responsibility. a complicated issue. meantime, isis has been targeting recruits for jihadist causes here at home. >> one of the recruits a colorado teenager planned on marrying a member of isis she met online. insists she wasn't aware of the group's violent agenda. here's abc's brandi hitt. >> reporter: at just 19 years old, federal authorities say shannon conley in this photo was intent on waging jihad and helping isis in syria. the nurses aide from a denver suburb who now goes by helema pleaded guilty in federal court, to conspiracy to provide material support to a designated foreign terrorist organization. >>

then to turkey. new evidence shows isis and other islamic militants are recruiting young women online. using social media and videos like this. >> the advice that i have for the sisters is very important that they come to this place here. >> i think it is very possible as they train women you could see them as suicide bombers. >> reporter: conley agreed to divulge details about her conspirators. her attorney says she was led astray pursuing her faith. >> like all of us, helema has been horrified to learn of the slaughter and oppression at the hand of the people controlling isis.

when the nfl knew about the brutal video of ray rice striking his then fiancee, the nfl hired fbi director robert muller to lead an independent investigation into how the league handled the evidence in the case. >> the initial incident launched a broader domestic violence problem in the nfl into the spotlight. now women's rights groups are calling for the league commissioner to resign. abc's ryan smith has more. reporter: it was the blow that started everything. and a commissioner playing defense in his first comment since the video of nfl player ray rice striking his then fiancee janay palmer made public monday by tmz, roger goodell admitted on "cbs this morning" the league has until now failed to properly address domestic violence within its ranks. >> absolutely. we are saying. we have a problem. >> reporter: his problem is only growing. >> i just think that he can't credibly commit to make the deep, the, the thorough going and deep changes that clearly need to be made in the nfl. >> reporter: with the national organization for women calling for his resignation. >> we need someone independent to go in, do a top to bottom investigation of the nfl and get to the root of the nfl violence against women problem. >> reporter: it all michigan michigan began when the first video emerged showing rice dragging unconscious palmer out of an elevator in atlantic city. >> when we met with ray rice and his representatives it was ambiguous about what actually happened. >> reporter: goodell says he never saw the full video from inside the elevator until monday. so he had no idea what really happened. but a law enforcement force tells the associated press they sent the nfl a copy of the brutal ray rice beating video back in april. the nfl responded, we are not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. we will look into it. but the question lingers, why did goodell require video proof of the beating in the first place? police documents obtained by abc news show the severity of the attack that was clear almost immediately after the assault. police said rice punched his wife, rendering her unconscious. >> they didn't need the tape. that's the part that they have yet to own up to. for it to take a video and to take us being stuck with these kind of lasting horrible images i think is just -- just says a lot about how much the nfl missed the mark with this. >> reporter: this comes at a time when the nfl is trying to increase its female fan base even running tv ads with nfl gear for women. >> you did it week after week. day after day. >> reporter: one sported rice's number 27. this week, nike pulled the plug on rice's championship. ravens fans have been turning in jerseys bearing his name. and while his ban from football is indefinite, goodell doesn't rule out a return. >> he would have to make sure that we are fully confident that he is addressing this issue clearly. >> reporter: following rice forever will always be that video from the elevator. >> that video is going to be very hard for a lot of people to forget. and i think it is going to take a lot for nfl owners and nfl personnel to get over that to give ray rice another opportunity. >> reporter: for "nightline," ryan smith in new york. >> the current nfl commissioner roger goodell said he will fully cooperate. he will allow full access to robert muller, to any of the nfl personnel all the files in this investigation which incidentally will also be overseen by the owners of the new york giants and the steelers. so there are a lot of people involved in this. apparently the report will then be made fully transparent to the public. >> speaking of the steelers they play the ravens tonight. is this one of the cases where the cover-up ends up being as equally as bad as the crime here? >> i think a valid question. when you constantly go back and see the video. the graphic nature of the video that is the genesis for why we are even having this discussion right now. and unfortunately, yes, a lot is being raised about who knew what when. get back to the heart of it. a woman was punched. it's sickening to see that. >> it

been on the plane as part of a zbt fraternity rush or recruitment event. >> we are trying to find out what are the details, who was aware of what was going on? no one from our family knew he was even

reporter: the simple lesson demonstrated by the athletic career of one fielder rodriguez who had his first at-bat playing for the texas rangers at home. the lesson was sometimes sticking it out, working at it, does pay off. his story reminiscent of the hollywood classic "bull durham." because this moment was one rodriguez expected to come years ago when he was 18 recruited to play for milwaukee. who just thought he needed some seasoning down in the minor leagues first. down rodriguez went, years went by, he played moving around with teams, performing well at lots of positions. shortstop, second base, even pitching. and setting a regard that nobody really goes for. more games played in the minor leagues than any one else now active in baseball. 1,095. and then this week the

this half hour this thursday morning with the president issuing a strong warning to isis terrorists. if you threaten america you will find no safehaven. >> the president addressed america and world in a rare primetime speech, laying out a bold strategy to hunt down terrorists and take swift action. abc's karen travers has more from washington. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. president obama said the u.s. objective is clear. degrade and destroy isis with a counterterrorism strategy. and last night he confirmed that part of that strategy is military action in syria. significant decision for a president who has tried to avoid bringing the u.s. into more war. president obama said the u.s. will not be constrained by borders when it comes to hunting down terrorists. >> i will not hesitate to take action against isil in syria as well as iraq. >> reporter: an overwhelming majority of americans support u.s. air strikes against isis targets in syria. the president said the u.s. will launch a campaign to take out isis wherever they exist. using air strikes and partners on the ground. senior administration officials would not give a timeline for this action saying they didn't want to telegraph mill stair strikes. president obama asked congress for the authority and funding to train and equip moderate syrian rebels. something the cia has been doing in secret. >> we must strengthen the opposition to the best counterweight to isil. >> reporter: officials said saudi arabia's king abdullah agreed to host the training program if congress signs off. president obama spoke by phone to king abdullah. the u.n. will expand air strikes in iraq beyond thor to of protecting americans and providing humanitarian aid. >> so we are hitting isil targets as iraqi forces go on offense. >> reporter: more than 1,000 u.s. troops are already in iraq. the president announced an additional 475 will be deployed there. but he insisted they will not be combat troops. they will be there to train and advise iraqi forces. >> we will not get dragged into another ground war in iraq. >> reporter: president obama said it will take time to eradicate a cancer like isis, preparing americans for a potentially open-ended fight. dan, reena. >> karen, thank you for that. the president is insisting he has the authority to take military action against islamic state militants, but not everyone in congress is in agreement. the u.s. is launching air strikes against isis militants inside iraq without the formal authorization of congress, but the scope of that mission has been limited to strikes that help protect american interests in the region. and prevent humanitarian crises. air strikes in syria against isis would go well beyond that original mission. meantime here at home, authorities are cracking down on isis's efforts to recruit americans for their jihadist cause. among them, young women hoping to marry terrorists. one of them, 19-year-old nurses aide, shannon conley, pleaded guilty to conspiracy. she was arrested in april trying to board a one-way flight to syria. she now faces five years in federal prison. of course, all this discussion about fighting terrorism

he claims he shot her accidentally. it is so interesting. widely watched. >> a number of different outcomes that could come from this case. everything from verdict of murder to life in prison to being acquitted. meaning the judge finds he had no intention of killing reena steenkamp. the acquittal could be most likely. as you point out verdict not expected any time in the near future. >> sentencing a separate event as well. the nfl saying former fbi director robert muller will lead an independent investigation into how the league handled evidence in the ray rice domestic violence case. now this move comes on the heels of a new report claiming the explosive video showing rice hitting his fiancee was sent to someone in the nfl months ago. here's abc's ryan smith. >> reporter: a law enforcement source telling associated press they sent the nfl a copy of the brutal ray rice beating video way back in april. the nfl responding. we are not aware of anyone in our office who possessed or saw the video before it was made public on monday. we will look into it. nfl commissioner roger goodell repeatedly insisted he first saw the tape this week. >> but what we saw yesterday is extremely clear, is extremely graphic and it was sickening. and that's why we took the action we took yesterday. >> reporter: a message he reiterated in a letter to nfl executives writing, when the new video became available we acted promptly. which prompts the question, did it take physical evidence? police documents obtained by abc news show severity of rice's attack was clear almost immediately after. police say rice punched his wife quote, rendering her unconscious. the national organization of women calling on goodell to resign. >> you need brand new leadership and you need an independent person to go

>> good morning, reena. president obama was trying to reassure americans that he has a strategy for isis. remember just two weeks ago he actually said the quote "we don't have a strategy right now." so there was a lot of backtracking over the last two weeks. and the american public clearly wants the president to get more aggressive, but last night he said this is going to be a different war than the ones we saw in iraq and afghanistan. not a large scale invasion with significant number of ground troops. the president compared it to the terrorist strikes in yemen and somalia. but, reena, dan, what he described last night is very different from that as well. one thing administration officials are saying, this is not something that is going to be solved overnight. this could potentially be an open-ended fight. >> karen, let me ask you, what about the response from congress? what is the likelihood then they will be going along providing the funding or the support? >> dan, it looks like the president could have the support and they're going to have to do it quickly. congress could have a vote on this as early as next week. the reason they want to do it so quickly isn't because they want to wrap this. but they want to get out of town, head back to their districts and campaign. in fact, yesterday one republican senator blasted his colleagues for trying to get this done so quickly, not have what he called a proper debate on that. he said, you shouldn't deserve to be in the united states senate. dan, reena, important to note, the one who said that, criticized colleagues not on the ballot in november. karen travers from washington. >> karen, thank you. the new plan to take on isis comes as the nation marks 13 years since 9/11 attacks. president obama will participate in a moment of silence at the white house before attending a ceremony at the pentagon. here in new york last night the so-called towers of light were turned on briefly. a test ahead of tonight's display. law enforcement across the nation as usual will be on alert. well the nfl says it has hired former fbi director robert muller to lead an investigation into how the league handled evidence in the ray rice domestic violence case. the firestorm over the case exploded even further last night after a new report claiming the nfl had the violent video of rice punching his then-fiancee months ago. here's abc's aaron kurterski. >> reporter: the nfl is still scrambling to get back on offense three days after ray rice's brutal attack on his new wife was bared for all to see. the league sent a memo to teams, saying when the new video evidence became available we acted promptly and imposed a suspension on mr. rice. commissioner roger goodell telling cbs news -- >> what we saw in the first videotape was troubling to us in and of itself. but what we saw yesterday was extremely clear, is extremely graphic and was sickening. and that's why we took the action we took. >> reporter: critics question why goodell needed to see the assault before taking action. documents obtained by abc news, show severity was clear almost immediately after rice knocked his wife out in an atlantic city elevator seven months ago. police said rice punched his wife, quote, rendering her unconscious. >> the league was never quick enough, decisive enough in the whole situation. and now it is trying to play a game of catch up it can't win. >> reporter: members of congress from both parties, even one of his own players, have called out the commissioner. >> the commissioner should be held accountable for his actions. certainly that's the expectation for players. >> reporter: the national organization for women called for the commissioner goodell to resign. and also, wednesday, espn reported new details of moments after the assault when rice dragged his then fiancee janay out of the elevator. a security staffer told espn, the football star said the woman was intoxicated and he was trying to get her back to her room. the source said when janay regained consciousness, her first words were, "how could you do this to me? i'm the mother of your kid?" aaron kurturski, abc news, new york. protesters and police have clashed again in ferguson, missouri. officers stopped demonstrators from blocking a highway in protest of the shooting of an unarmed black teen, michael brown. about 35 people were arrested. mostly for unlawful assembly. police say some are facing assault charges for throwing rocks, bricks and bottles from the crowd. federal and local agents raided dozens of businesses in los angeles' fashion district as part of a sweeping crackdown on money laundering. about 1,000 officers fanned out across the city yesterday making nine arrests and seizing $90 million linked to mexican drug cartels. officials say the cartel used some shops to launder ransom money paid by families of kidnap victims. wildlife officials in northern california have shot and killed a mountain lion that they believe attacked a 6-year-old boy last weekend. searchers used dogs that managed to corner the lion in a 70-foot high tree and then shot it. the lion will undergo dna testing to make sure in fact it is the proper lion. well, ready for some good news about the environment?
