Facility as well as another site. So three sites were struck tonight. We just heard from secretary mattis. Heres what he said. Tonight, france, the United Kingdom and the United States took decisive action. Clearly, the assad regime did not get the message last year. General dunford said that syrian surface to air missiles had been engaged at the beginning of the air strikes. They, however, have not reported that there were any u. S. Or allied losses as a result of those Sam Missiles Being fired. There was no sign that the russians engaged in any way. General dunford said that the Deconfliction Hot Line was employed but the u. S.

afghanistan, the chaos carries the image he wanted to avoid. and if the saigon parallels century disturbing enough, the new yorker offered this, when i spoke on this with experts who have decades of afghan experience between them, about the weeks events, they were contemplating more apocalyptic. full of determination to build a modern functioning state out of the post 9/11 rebel. or perhaps al qaeda isis 3.0. the possibilities from large scale human rights to a new center for jihadist terrorism is blood curdling. the situation in afghanistan and what that means for u.s. allies as well as afghan women and girls is where we start this hour. ozzy media, and contributor
what china is doing and to makes sure we are able to thwart any threats. let s take a look at this ominous warning out of the pentagon that isis is making a comeback. the department of defense inspector general warning that despite losing its territorial caliphate, the islamic state in iraq and syria, isis solidified its insurgent capabilities in iraq. jbie, thank you for being with us. good to be with you. so you are surprised by this report. why? no, this is you know, isis 3.0, 4.0, depends on how you keep track. we all saw that isis was not defeated back earlier this year despite the claims. thousands of isis members didn t
the iranians. obviously two countries that are not our friends. what do you say to that? as i said, syria is a mess. i don t know of anyone who can put all those pieces back together again. on the other hand, we have some serious interests in syria. number 1 is we have some troops on the eastern side of syria to work with the local forces to defeat isis. to exterminate them and make sure that we don t have to face an isis 3.0. secondly, we don t want to have the iranians and the russians rushing in to syria and posing a problem for the region to israel, to jordan and perhaps to our interests. so i don t think we have to fix syria. but at the same time, i believe it would be a mistake to completely withdraw from syria just because there s so much at stake there. jon: the president said in
