Me. We begin with the fight against isis. President obama has a plan he says will defeat and destroy the terror group. Right now lawmakers on capitol hill are reviewing the president s official request to use military force. Make no mistake, this is a Difficult Mission and it will remain difficult for some time. Its going to take time to dislodge these terrorists especially from urban areas, but our coalition is on the offensive. Isil is on the defensive and isil is going to lose. That mission not only sets restrictions for the use of u. S. Ground troops but includes a threeyear deadline with no geographic limitations. The president s plan also allows the military to confront quote, unforeseen circumstances, potentially opening up the door to special forces but lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are already slamming the president s strategy. Im not sure if its a strategy thats been outlined will accomplish the mission the president says he must look out for. His point, the president
Thank you so much for joining me. Next hour president obama delivers a second major address on terrorism in just two days. Yesterdays theme igniting controversy after he refused to say the words islamic extremism. That has some conservatives howling. Al qaeda and isil and groups like it are desperate for legitimacy. They try to portray themselves as religious leaders, holy warriors in defense of islam. We must never accept the premise that they put forward because it is a lie. Nor should we grant these terrorists the religious legitimacy that they seek. They are not religious leaders theyre terrorists. No religion is responsible for terrorism, people are responsible for violence and terrorism. And we are not at war with islam. We are at war with people who have perverted islam. So lets head to the white house where leaders from 60 nations are gathering from that summit on combatting terrorism and its spread. Cnns Michelle Kosinski at the white house this morning. Good morning. Reporter

Chris kyle and his friend chad littlefield, the former marine seemingly showing no reaction as the judge sentenced him to a life behind bars without parole. He thought he had to take their lives. Because he was in danger. Jurors rejecting defense arguments that routh, diagnosed with ptsd was legally insane. Ive been so paranoid schizophrenic all day i dont know what to think of the world right now. The 27yearold shown here in 2013 moments after Police Arrested him for shooting kyle and littlefield multiple times at a gun range.

Deal but that folks here are very skeptical about whether it can work and that i have been here before. You noted the result of marathon talks between russian president putin, ukrainian president poroshenko, leaders of france and germany and the results a couple pieces of paper which may or not mean a year of bloodshed. Peace fire was supposed to go into effect midnight local time saturday night and 5 00 p. M. Eastern time. The withdraw of heavy weapons like tanks and rockets. Theyve been doing so much damage there and the damage as you know continues right now. The last couple weeks have been some of the most bloody fighting in the last year or so of fighting in the region. Theres a battle right now over a key transport in the east and thats a hitch here too martha because there are three more days to fight if the ceasefire goes into effect and the line of Division Still hasnt been marked out. Trying to get in as much as they possibly can in the next three days. What about the presenc
Boss is here. If you ever need a note just let me know. Okay. Thanks, rachel. The white house convened a meeting today on violent extremism. A texas judge stopped the implementation of president obamas executive orders on immigration, and its being called the biggest bank job ever. How did hackers steal a billion dollars from banks . We spend more time more time talking about what do you call it. Opposed to what do you do about it. Radical islam, islamic extremism. Im not sure a lot is gained by saying that. The topic of discussion in our meeting was about what to be done in europe now. Leaders are gathered for three days of meetings on how best to address the threat posed by isis. Im not suggesting that i think america has all the answers here. These meetings come just days after terror attacks in denmark. We just have a lot more experience. We are a nation of immigrants. Late last night, a federal judge halted the president s executive action plan. I disagree with the texas judges ru
