David cameron taking the lead. They published an oped in the New York Times. Western leaders are pressing russia to back off from the ukraine. Back to this oped whats the substance in this piece . Reporter it was long on lofty language about the need to confront isis but painfully short on how the u. S. And the u. K. Plan to do that, especially when it comes to military intervention. Many praised David Cameron for coming out swinging with words and actions to protect the british homeland. But the Prime Minister has yet to commit his country to military action. Yesterdays comments from president obama started tough on isis then seemed to walk his promised back. Manageable . Thats when you are closing a lane on the free way. Then you have got to go down the free way with three lanes instead of four. Reporter the politics continue. We were just two months away from the midterms. Even some democrats are distancing themselves from the president. Martha isis is one of the big topics at nato.
Baghdad will be just fine but predicts kobani will likely fall. The kurds are struggling to hold on, surrounded on three strides by isis who could capture the city and claim a huge propaganda victory from the west. Hi, peter. Eric, isis fighters are getting closer and closer to keep parts of baghdad despite a fresh rounds of air strikes. The state Department Says that american personnel on the ground there remains safe. We dont see an imminent threat to baghdad at this time. Theres been some speculation in the press about this. Iraqi Security Forces are strong, under constant assessment and the Embassy Remains open and we continue to conduct business. But the president s critics dont think hes doing enough to defend baghdad warning that american strategy and american movements within iraq depend on keeping isis out of baghdad.

Stretch of land. Greg, what is happening right now . The deadly fight for kobani continues, including today stepped up u. S. Involvement. More on that in a moment, but, first, a little bit of what we saw today near the frontline. We can see the black flags on the eastern side of that town. So far we havent been hearing a lot of large explosions today. What we been hearing is continuous small arms fire coming from all across the town probably a sign of street to street battles involving isis and the outgunned and outmanned kurdish defenders of the town. This as the u. S. Finally appears to be stepping up. We witnessed that heaviest bombardment today of isis positions around kobani yet by u. S. Coalition aircraft. Five Different Air strikes hitting an isis tank, armed vehicles, and guns. The hitch is the main fight right now is inside that city, and its very hard to hit isis there without civilian or friendly casualties. Finally, there is a fight on this side of the border as well.
