overreaction particularly when it says air france. the pilots themselves could be very sensitive and super, superconcerned about what is going on in terms of their planes. coupled with the fact that isis has continued to take claim for what took place there in paris, france. 129 people killed in soft targets. certainly, air aviation is something isis tried to target before, taking credit for what took place with the russian metro jet plane that crashed. all 224 people aboard dying as result of that. that coming down over the sinai peninsula. so it makes good sense if something is going on that is questionable, you want to alert authorities. that is what happened with this flight. yes. and i think you know, it s that said, we should make sure we re
particularly in the region of northern syria. two weeks ago there was a sizable air drop into the area of ammunition. you ll see more of that. and i think what the secretary of defense was referencing is sending actual u.s. military advisers into the area to work with the kurds. something else he said, and you want your assessment on this, he talked about the three r s. he mentioned raqqa being the unofficial capital of the islamic state. you have romany and raids in heavier air campaign in raids. ramadi they haven t e made much head way. raqqa is a massive undertaking. it s very ambitious. however, the ypg has had designed on raqqa for years now. they do have intentions to capture raqqa. whether or not they can do that is questionable. they are going to need american support to go in and do that.
maliki caused as much of that collapse as isis did. we re training eight brigades. general has to make up his mind is that really sufficient. do we need to do more? peshmerga, as you point out, they re skilled and largely defensive, fighting for kurdistan. how much more they will do is questionable. he will make an assessment. the air campaign is criticized for not being effective enough. increase special operations forces. these are the issues he is dealing with. bill: major, they come at you fast and furious. general dunford has his hands full. always good to see you, sir. good talking to you, bill. bill: you bet. martha. martha: texas is pulling the plug on planned parenthood. they kicked the group out of the state s medicaid program. governor abbott is here to explain next. bill: a new trail irdrops during monday night football. perfect audience.
prisoners of war, especially the likes of john mccain they would be done. he probably will not be done. do you believe there is a lesson? i don t well, here is the interesting lesson to me. this is not so much a campaign as a complaint. when i hear trump talk he s got a grievance. part of that was mccain was a candidate in 2008. i looked at complaints about him from veterans organizations. mccain has not been perfect on the issues. look at 2005 2006 2007. he s voting for expanding health to veterans. some is questionable. a world of difference than mocking his status as a prisoner of war. you can say he stinks on issues and you are a veteran and it bothers you more. this is a pattern. he said something outrageous.
credible journalist but when you look at the conservatives on the right they are saying, this is questionable. you go back . do you? you know, you worry about the fact that, will he be able to even give hillary clinton a fair interview, an objective interview? it makes everyone very concerned on the right. they are starting to see the stories pop up, rush limbaugh talked about it, about him he was never a journalist in the first place so it does impact george especially for this particular presidential cycle with hillary clinton running. i don t think it is fair to say he has never been a jump lit. he has worked hard in 18 years to put the partisan past behind him. he has dropped out of moderating the presidential debate. but if he cannot do that, dana, how can he interview the presidential candidate? he has created a real problem
