involved this go-round. they are. i was able to talk to secretary of homeland security on stage in munich on saturday and asked him specifically what s this new executive order going to look like in an attempt to pass muster with the federal courts in washington. he said it s going to be narrower. it s going to be tighter. it s going to be less confusing to people, as peter alexander said it won t it will recognize green card holders and visa holders as legitimate. the details of how syrian refugees were treated, he didn t talk. i should note he also said to this audience that the administration is worried about what s going to happen when the isis capital in iraq of mosul is finally taken. there s going to be, he fears, a breakout of people who have been there towards the west. there will be a real terrorism
administration and george w. bush and especially under barack obama s administration, the n sflt c staff nsc staff is to largeu unwieldy, undemocratic. whether he can do something about that, it s a question to be resolved. do you know anything about his ability to pick his own people? i have heard general mcmaster is going to have as free a hand as you can. i don t know always someone frameing a staff, setting his mandate. his predecessor, general flynn, wanted to reduce the size of the staff, make it less operational. there s a phrase general mcmaster will remember from iraq and afghanistan, the 5,000 mile screwdriver which means nsa staff is trying to do tiny little management things from a
warfare. this is a global struggle that brings, as i ve said, many times, muslims, christians, jews, other religions fighting alongside us as we fight our civil war inside islam. the iraqi prime minister says isis can be defeated this year. in the president s state of the union address he says this is a war that s going to go on, it s going to be a generational war. what s your assessment? well, again, let s make the differentiation. when we say isis, syria or iraq, this global war against the outlaws of islam, so isis, syria and iraq can be defeated fairly quickly, but the global war what i call the third world war by other means is one that is a generational one. hopefully the military security aspect is a short-term or the military part is the short-term. the midterm is going to be the intelligence and security aspect. the long-term is the ideological one and the educational one. and that s a generation war.

relief. he says jordan wants to hit isis harder and insists isis can be defeated quickly in both syria and iraq. but the king is also warning that the global war against outlaws of islam like isis could take a lot longer, maybe a generation. i ll speak with senator james risch of the intelligence and foreign relations committees. and our correspondents, analysts and guests they ll have full coverage of all the day s top stories. iran has freed ten u.s. sailors and their patrol boats, but the fallout over the incident is continuing. we begin with our pentagon correspondent barbara starr. barbara, what is the very latest? wolf, at this hour we are more than a day into this incident. and so far the obama administration revealing very few details. a lot of diplomatic congratulations all the way around, but just one problem, ten sailors were held in iran. how did it happen? an apology from a u.s. navy sailor. it was a mistake that was our
