There is breaking news tonight in the war against isis. A u. S. Military official says plans have been made for what may be a decisive battle, the retaking of mosul, iraqs second largest city.

S. Airpower. Mosul, with a population of more than one million, is held by an estimated 1,000 to 2000 isis fighters who seized it last june when the iraqi army broke and ran. The official, speaking to reporters from Central Command headquarters in florida said the initial attack force would consist of about 10,000 iraqi troops, all of whom will have undergone training by u. S. Military advisers at bases in iraq. The rest of the force would be held in reserve and include kurdish fighters, along with iraqi soldiers and special operations forces. No decision has been made yet whether u. S. Military adadvisers will accompany iraqi troops on the ground to call in airstrikes. Asked why he was telegraphing a Major Military operation the official said he wanted to describe the commitment the iraqis had made to defeating isis. It also seems to be a form of psychological warfare against those isis fighters holding mosul. Pelley david martin at the pentagon tonight. Thanks. Some surprising results this evening in how americans view want war on isis. The islamic extremists now holding part of syria and iraq. Michelle miller is with us with what people have told us in our new cbs news poll out tonight. Michelle.

Today, president obama said Muslim Leaders have a responsibility to push back against twisted interpretations of islam. This is day two of a white house conference on extremism. The president declined to label al qaeda and isis islamic terrorists, and hes taking some heat from critics. Heres bill plante. The notion that the west is at war with islam is an ugly lie, and all of us, regardless of our faith have a responsibility to reject it. Reporter at a white house conference on violent extremism, mr. Obama appeared to take pains to separate islam from terrorism. Critics fault the president for not labeling the terrorists islamic, and at a private republican gathering in new york last night former mayor Rudy Giuliani went even further. I do not believe that the president loves america. Whats wrong with this man, asked jooul that he cant stand up and say theres a part of islam thats sick . The president has called on muslims to actively reject extremism. Muslim communities, including scholars and clerics, therefore have a responsibility to push back, not just on twisted interpretations of islam, but also on the lie that we are somehow engaged in a clash of civilizations. Reporter and president george w. Bush walked the same line immediately following the 9 11 attacks. The terrorists are traitors to their own faith trying, in effect, to hijack islam itself. Reporter white house aides say the reason mr. Obama wont refer to violence by muslims as islamic terrorism is that he wants to deny them the ability to call the clash a religious war. Hill bill plante reporting for us from the white house tonight. Bill, thank you. This evening, we have a remarkable report that the government of iran doesnt want you to see.

Especially now that i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib a type of irregular heartbeat, not caused by a heart valve problem. I was taking warfarin, but wondered if i kept digging could i come up with something better. My doctor told me about eliquis. For three Important Reasons. One, in a clinical trial, eliquis was proven to reduce the risk of stroke better than warfarin. Two, eliquis had less major bleeding than warfarin. And three, unlike warfarin theres no routine blood testing. Dont stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Those three Important Reasons are why eliquis is a better find for me. Ask your doctor today if eliquis is right for you. vo get this close with beneful healthy smile.
