Good evening and it is great to have you with us on this busy wednesday night. We begin with the breaking news here. President obama and his message to america, just a short time from now. Laying out his plan to take down isis, the brutal killers who executed those two american journalists, james foley and steven solt lof. Tonight, three weex after the first of those grisly videos surfaced, the killers still on the loose. At this hour, president obama facing a defining moment. Our team getting a first look at what hell say to the american people. Just 14 dames ago, he say, we dont have a strategy yet about isis in syria. So many asking, do we have one now and what will it mean for u. S. Troops . We have Team Coverage tonight. George stephanopoulos standing by an our entire team. We begin with Jonathan Karl tonight. Jon, good evening. Reporter good evening, david. After weeks of muddled and contradictory statements, the president will say tonight that he has a clear and comprehensive strategy to, quote, degrade and ultimately destroy isis. Under intense pressure to prove he has a plan, the president will say tonight, quote, i can announce that america will lead a Broad Coalition to roll back this terrorist threat. What does that mean . First, in iraq, where isis controls a third of the country. U. S. Air strike s will be expanded. Also, more military support for iraqi and kurdish fighters battling isis on the ground. Also today, secretary of state john kerry met with the new iraqi government. The u. S. Is counting on them to take the lead in confronting isis. This is a broadbased, comprehensive strategy that is being laid out. It will not just be reserved to bombs or direct military assistance. Reporter then, syria, where isis has a safe haven and is believed to be holding more u. S. Hostages. The president is asking congress to give him the authority to train moderate rebels who are fighting both isis and syrian deke tar or the bashir al assad. The president will also make it clear he is prepared to order air strikes in syria as well as iraq. As one senior official told me today, the president is prepared to go wherever necessary to defeat them. Now, david, thats prepared. He hasnt made that order yet. And i am told it is not likely to happen right away. Well be watching tonight. Jon, thank you. New numbers tonight, where americans stand on all of us. Our newest poll, 71 le of Americans Air strikes against isis in iraq. Thats a huge surge in the span of just a few weeks. So, we want to get right to george stephanopoulos, who will be leading our coverage of the speech tonight. And george, what is at stake here . What does this president need to do . This is a high stakes speech, david. Heres the dilemma for the president. A majority of americans agree with him on air strikes. A majority agree with him on not sending Ground Troops in. But a majority of americans also think hes been too cautious int time, a majority of americans disapprove of his foreign policy. So, heres what he has to do tonight. Hes got to convince the country hes doing what it takes to defeat isis without sucking us back into a ground war, without making this americas war. Its got to be muslims taking the lead. As i said, this is a high degree of difficulty and the stakes no. This speech, and this issue, is likely to define the final years of this presidency. A huge balancing act tonight. George, thank you. Of course, all of this coming on the eve of 9 11, and tonight, a new alert here. The head of Homeland Security and new york citys Police Commissioner now warning the risk of a terror attack is at its high nest years. No specific plot, but the rise of isis and fighting in the middle east raising level of concern. Abcs Pierre Thomas tracking this right now from washington. Pierre . Reporter david, sources tell me on the eve of 9 11, we are in a high tempo moment. Isis has set in motion a new dynamic. New york citys Police Commissioner said the Terror Threat is more dangerous than in recent years and hes especially concerned about isis. The events of syria have spawned isis. Isis creates a totally new area of threat for us and one that is probably even mrp potentially impactful on us than al qaeda. Reporter also today, jay johnson said that isis had the most sew fist kated social media and internet messages system ever designed by a terrorist organization. That means it can reach people directly in the u. S. And encourage them to attack. A dangerous moment, david. All right, Pierre Thomas, george, jon, thanks to you all.

And thats why we took the action we took yesterday. Reporter a message he reiterated today in a letter to nfl executives, writing when the new Video Evidence became available, we acted promptly. The lingering question, why did goodell require video proof of the beating .

Reporter goodell was in North Carolina today, speaking to school students. He refused to talk to reporters. This, as espn reports new details of the moments after the assault. When rils dragged his then fiance janay out of that elevator. A security staffer telling them the football star said she was intoxicated and he was just trying to get her back to her room.
