Well, i think our head of the intelligence community, jim clapper, has acknowledged that i think they underestimated what had been taking place in syria. I recognize the contradiction in a contradictory land and a contradictory circumstance. Are we saying that we are not going to stabilize syria under the rule of assad. Because the sunni areas inside of syria view assad as having carried out terrible atrocities. The world has seen them. Hundreds of thousands of people have been killed. Millions have been in an interview on 60 minutes the president said american intelligence agencies were surprised by the Rapid Advances made by isis and that the iraqi armys willingness to fight them is a lot weaker than originally thought. Meanwhile in an interview with abc, House Speaker john boehner said the president s plan to take on isis is insufficient. I think its going to take more than air strikes to drive them out of there. At some point, somebodys boots have to be on the ground. Thats the whole point. When asked if should those boots be american boots on the ground, boehner said we have no choice. A new nbc news wall street journal poll shows 72 of americans believe the u. S. Will at some point use Ground Troops in this fight against isis. And meanwhile, a syrian group affiliated with al qaeda warned on sunday that the group will use all possible means to fight back against u. S. Led air strikes. Theres relief in sight this morning for thousands of air travelers. Passengers like these have been stranded at chicagos Ohare Airport since friday and theyre now slowly boarding flights out of the windy city. Coincidentally, on wednesday chicago ohare reclaimed its spot as the worlds busiest airport. So far, here are the numbers. There are roughly 400 flights canceled. Today that is down from 800 yesterday. And a far cry from the more than 2,000 that were canceled on friday. And this all happened because an air traffic employee some 40 miles west of chicago allegedly tried to set fire to the control tower in an attempt to kill himself. The faa says its going to take about two weeks to restore service to the air Traffic Control site. A sign this morning that violent protests in hong kong could be winding down. This was the scene just a few hours ago. Thousands of prodemocracy demonstrators waking up after spending the night on a main road and blocking the Central Business district. Last night, they clashed with police who reportedly pointed longbarreled guns and used tear gas for the first time in years. But this morning, the Hong Kong Government announced that it has pulled back riot police and have urged protesters to go home. The protests began outside of the government offices on friday.

In massachusetts, an investigation is under way right now into what caused a deadly skydiving crash on cape cod.

At this time, the Mass State Police will be investigating along with our detective division. We see them over the house every single day. Just devastating to hear, you know, somebody got killed. Police say they were notified that the pair were descending at a fairly high rate of speed and that their chute did not fully open.

Time for your monday morning helping of scrambled politics. 18,000 crammed new Yorks Madison Square garden over the weekend for a rally with indian Prime Minister narendra modi. His focus was to rally americas 3 million americanindians. High praise from congressman pete sessions. I think its important to remember that this new Prime Minister, mr. Modi, is what i think will become the next Ronald Reagan for the world. He is an exciting man with a clear vision and he knows how to get things done. Today modi will meet with the president , but over the weekend the protests in ferguson were on the mind of president obama as he addressed the Congressional Black Caucus at their annual awards dinner. Too many young men of color feel targeted by law enforcement. Guilty of walking while black, driving while black. Judged by stereotypes that fuel fear and resentment and hopelessness. Meanwhile a new report obtained by the Associated Press reveals that missouri governor jay nixon received thousands of complaints in the weeks following Michael Browns shooting death. They came from residents in missouri and people from around the world. According to buzz feed, the Clinton Foundation is denying reports that they sent escorts to follow a New York Times reporter at last weeks Clinton Global Initiative summit. They said that theyve investigated the matter and found no proof that one of their volunteers deliberately followed the reporter into a bathroom. The new yorker cover story, the revenge of rand paul. Senator paul explains his strategy to take his ideology mainstream. Political tv ads will soon reach facebook level creepiness, yeah, you can say that. We could be at the start of whats called addressable advertising. Companies like directv can compile lists of around 200 households attributes and pick what ads you watch. So whale your neighbor might see Something Like gun control, you might see an attack advertisement on a particular candidate. And thats your morning dish of scrambled politics. I want to bring in David Nakamura with the washington post, good friend from d. C. , great to see you this morning. Hi, angie. I want to start with president obama making candid comments on 60 minutes. What does it say about u. S. Intelligence in his administration after he admitted that they blew it when it came to sizing up isis . Well, thats an alarming admission but it seems clear they did underestimate isis. I think it speaks to the complications and uncertainty on the ground in the syrian civil war, where isis was able to take root then advance into iraq. I think it raises maybe other questions about how much we can count on the Free Syrian Army which is going to be trained in saudi arabia by u. S. Forces to be the Ground Troops after we continue to do air strikes in syria. How much has this group been vetted . The Administration Says they have vetted this group, they can count on them to be trained and sort of take on isis as well as president assad, sort of help u. S. In syria. But i think this raises some more questions about how much u. S. Is really understood what this group is about. Definitely a lot of scary possibilities there. Were also hearing from House Speaker john boehner who says in order to detry the Islamic State we may have no choice but to send in the troops. The president says hes got congress behind him but now this. Are we seeing david perhaps a divide on strategy starting to surface . I think what its going to say is i think the president has some time. Hes going to be given time to employ his strategy. But if things do not go well youre going to have him being secguessed. Clearly this is already something where the speaker of the house is going to mark a little bit farther along. But the public polls show the public doesnt really support this just yet so i think the president feels confident about his strategy so far. I think people need to give him some time to see if it can work. The nbc wall street journal poll that just came out says 7 out of 10 americans, more than that, in fact, at one point think that there are going to be troops on the ground. What does this tell us . Are people just in a state where theyre not believing our commander in chief . I think it goes back to ten years of war. The promises that the public had about the previous engagement in iraq as well as afghanistan. How long that took. Sort of how things continued to get worse and worse at times. And more and more troops were sent to the region. I think for president obama said hes learned from that, hes promising its not going to happen. But of course theyve already sent 1,600 troops in advising and Training Missions and i think the question is, if things go worse, whether they would send in more.
