Captioning sponsored by cbs this is the cbs evening news. Glor good even, everyone, i am jeff glor, since early july they have been trapped, 15,000 men, women and children surrounded by isis. The Iraqi Government believed the town of amerli just two hours north of baghdad was about to become a scene of genocide, residents had no power ands3 barely any food or water. Somehow they were able to fend off isis until now, and today they got help, it is a second time this month the u. S. Military has intervened in iraq to prevent a humanitarian disaster. But are those missions enough to defeat isis overall . We begin with juliana goldman. Iraqi forces say they liberated the town of amerli where roughly 15,000 people had been trapped by isis militants since june. U. S. Humanitarian aid and air strikes were key to breaking the sixweek siege. But law make in other words washington are concerned that the limited scope of the u. S. Action against the militant Islamist Group wont be enough to defeat it. This week, president obama said his Administration Still doesnt have a strategy to attack isis s in syria. It is going to require some very strong measures to defeat them. Today, senator john mccain want mr. Obamas loudest critics told cbs the president is either in denial or overwhelmed. You have to have a specific strategy to defeat isis and that means, among other things, understanding that isis is obliterated the boundaries between syria and iraq. The criticism of the president wasnt limited to republicans. I have learned one thing about this president , and that is he is very cash, maybe in this instance too cautious. Senator Dianne Feinsten the top democrat on the Intelligence Committee said isis pose as unique danger to the u. S. Because of its money, military infrastructure and weaponry. They have announced that they will come after us if they can, that they will, quote, spill our blood. Democrat adam smith, a member of the House Armed Services Committee Said the u. S. Is still evaluating the group threat to the homeland, he cautioned against rushing into military action. We cant simply bomb first and ask questions later. We have to have the right targets and the right support in order to be effective in stopping isis. If president obama does decide to expand the u. S. Offensive against isisness members of both parties say there should be a robust debate in congress and a vote to authorize the use of force. Jeff. Glor juliana goldman, thank you very much. In libya, an islamist militia posted online video of members inside the am embassy in tripoli, they jump into the pool as the embassys residential property. American personnel evacuated libya more than a month ago there in tripoli over security concerns. Russian president Vladimir Putin is calling for talks between ukraine and prorussian separatists. Putin said the goal should be to safeguard the people of living in Eastern Ukraine which he called new russia. Both sides exchanged policers in today, including 15 russian paratroopers that moscow entered ukraine accidentally. Tomorrow is september 1st and midterm elections in the u. S. Are just a little more than two months away. Attention is focusing on several races which could decide whether democrats 0 or republicans control the senate. For more we turn to cbs news political director john dickerson, she in washington. John, always good to see you, what should we be watching . Well, the house of representatives is almost certain to stay in republican hands but the democrats may lose control of the senate if they lose six seats that they now hold. Three of those democratic seats in south dakota, West Virginia and montana are pretty much gone, they are likely to go for the republicans, that means to win control of the Senate Republicans would need to win just three, about half a dozen races taking place on democratic turf, in states like iowa, north carolina, arkansas and louisiana. Democrats have two chances to take seats from republicans in georgia and kentucky, where republican Mitch Mcconnell would love to become leader of the senate if his party took control but he has to survive his own race first. Glor how much time will we see the president out campaigning for candidates this fall . We wont see him in these tough battleground states, democrats do benefit from the president , he can raise money, and he can rally the base of the democratic party, and that is important in a nonpresident ial Election Year when democrats dont turn out the way to vote the way republicans do but he is not popular his National Approval rating is just about 40 percent and in the get if the states he is even less popular than he is nationally. So what democrats are trying to do is they are trying to keep the elections about local issues, including the flaws of their opponents. Anything that focuses on the unpopular president might rally Republican Voters or at the very least distract from a Democratic Candidates local message. Glor john dickerson, thank you very much.
