Mike viqueira with me, and he has been following the president s entire day. Its been a busy one. This resolution requiring countries to take firm action to address the threat of foreign fighters the world over. Fairly extraordinary. You have the president of the United States the chair of the United Nations this month. But chairing this meeting in Security Council today and organizing to insure domestic laws are passed in each individual country. It is enforceable, but as a practical matter, tough to do. You see many countries, the majority directly affected by terrorism. Weve heard from francois hollande. They suffered a blow when one of their citizens were murdered.

Here it is going to have to be a very constant form up operations at the scene already announced over the past month about 150 separate attacks they have done in 30 days. You can do the math there. It is five today. On over 200 targets that is just doing the basel and a few other locations in iraq. Obviously at some point and i dont think it will be immediate, this will spread to syria. Host you had a piece last week i believe that outlines the challenges the president faces could you also do price tag about the airstrikes in iraq so far. Over 200 million a month.
