President bashar al assad. This announcement is a major turn around from the assurances president obama has been making since 2013, when president assad began barrel bombing his own people. A sign of just how desperate the situation there has truly become. I do not foresee a scenario in which boots on the ground in syria, american boots on the ground in syria would not only be good for america but also would be good for syria. I will not put american boots on the ground in syria. I will not pursue an openended action like iraq or afghanistan. With respect to the situation on the ground in syria, we will not be placing u.

Ground combat forces to iraq or syria. Joining me now is a lease labott. Great to have you on here. Its a huge story today. Tell me about what were learning, where the americans are going and what precis

This largely, jim sciutto, on the advice of military officials who have been studying the situation on the ground. The u. S. Military wanted this decision. Why . Because of the reality on the ground. The fall of kunduz shows the strength of the taliban. Its something they knew before the fall of kunduz. The taliban is active in many parts of the country, because they have been virtually cleared out from and getting closer kabul as well. They saw that reality on the ground communicated to the president. This is not just an extension of troop presence but also an expansion. It is isis on the ground there. The adm

Trying to woo more insiders, this time in california. Hes set to speak before the Republican Convention outside of san francisco, and this is after protests broke out outside a trump rally last night with more than a dozen arrested. Lets get over to Cnns Phil Mattingly who is following this all for us. First, phil, to that endorsement, that cruz, lets be quite honest, he maybe needed. Reporter no question about it, kate. This isnt just because donald trump has had bob yby knight gog around with him in the state of indiana. Mike pence has been a standard bearer. Hes been under tremendous pressure to come off the sidelines and endorse ted cruz. The cruz team has been working very hard to get this endorsement. Theres a good reason why. What mike pence represents in this state, what he represents to conservatism in general over the course of his house career and his time in the Governors Office is really everything ted cruz has been talking about on the campaign trail, everything hes been
