demonstrated to the world when our allies are looking at us, wondering who s in charge here. the united states is told by russia one hour earlier that they re going to attack isis. the soviet ministry announces that they hit isis targets. everyone knows it is a lie. like all the lies issued in the ukraine. they were not hitting isis, isis isn t in the area. were hitting the city of homs. which is a stronghold for treat syrian army. our allies we are supposedly supporting and training and the allies of our arab allies, the ones in the gulf and elsewhere. and we do nothing, but then you ve got the scene you showed, brett, about 20 minutes ago of before the show, actually, live of our secretary of state coming out in a jolly. with lavrov, the foreign minister of russia, as a buddy, and saying we ve got a little problem about the nature of the targets that russia attacked today. but we ll go on to other stuff
it s another thing to have that demonstrated to the world when our allies are looking at us, wondering who s in charge here. the united states is told by russia one hour earlier that they re going to attack isis. the soviet ministry announces that they hit isis targets. everyone knows it is a lie. like all the lies issued in the ukraine. they were not hitting isis, isis isn t in the area. were hitting the city of homs. which is a stronghold for treat syrian army. our allies we are supposedly supporting and training and the allies of our arab allies, the ones in the gulf and elsewhere. and we do nothing, but then you ve got the scene you showed, brett, about 20 minutes ago of before the show, actually, live of our secretary of state coming out in a jolly. with lavrov, the foreign minister of russia, as a buddy, and saying we ve got a little problem about the nature of the targets that russia attacked
can authorities do anything to stop terrorists? they can. and i think they have. the fbi has been effective if you look before the 4th of july there are a number of arrests conducted throughout the country of people they thought were on the verge of planning an attack or some way thinking of asserting themselves as terrorists. more and more because it s increasingly to get information we see this individual doesn t appear to have a jump off the page to authorities. why is that? if the father has been connected to maybe donating to a terror group in the past they put him on a watch list how come his family members, everyone he calls and e mails isn t on a watch? i believe we need to be doing more in terms of merging different technologies.
to the july 4 weekend with recent evidence that isis isn t just grooming followers over social media but actually providing bomb-making instruction to them as well. it s a good point you re making, a very scary point. colonel reese, as you know on friday there were these three terror attacks in tunisia, there kuwait where 30 or 40 people were killed, more than 200 injured in that mosque on friday in france we saw what was going on with the beheading and isis claiming responsibility there. all within a matter of a few showers. probably not directly coordinated but the message is going on through social media, go ahead and launch these kinds of attacks, right? that is correct. wolf any time you see attacks that are near simultaneous it gives credence to that threat side for isis or daesh in the middle east. it s something we have to watch,
walker weaker now that the united states provided this significant military campaign support. iraq two years from now, can be a place in which if isis isn t gone, it is significantly marginalized. syria is a different story. ultimately we ve got to be part of a political solution in syria whereby our adversaries like russia and iran come to the table to try plot away forward. if they are not on the table, it s hard to figure out any way to end of carnage. but iraq being stabilized helps us get to a political solution inside syria for a variety of reasons. we think about ten years ago, joe biden talked about partitioning iraq into three, sunni, shia and kurds. do you foresee any type of separation in iraq between sunnis and shia and kurdish state? i think it s necessary. i m not sure i buy the notion we should divide the country into three completely separate and
