Atlanta, im George Howell. We will have those stories in a moment. First, were getting new video from the Regional Government of kurdistan that shows the u. S. Raid on an isis compound inside iraq. U. S. Special forces and kurdish fighters storm the compound on thursday in a mission to rescue hostages believed to be in danger of execution. A u. S. Soldier was killed during the operation. 70 hostages were freed but not the kurdish captives they were september in to rescue. That raid has critics raising questions about the u. S. Role in iraq. It was the first time the u. S. Forces directly engaged isis militants on the ground in iraq. Yet, american Officials Say the role of u. S. Forces is to train and assist the iraqis, not to engage in combat. Earlier, our john mann spoke with cnn military analyst and retired Lieutenant General mark perkily. He once served in that area.

Theres only nine votes, don, so cant take that long. Certainly hope it wont take that long and on this white board behind me they will record the results. Granted, this is very symbolic in many ways, part of the political lore that we have in the nights, dates back to 1906 when tom tillisons father started the tradition. Do it not only in the primary but the general election. Not only happening here but in two other towns, millsville as well as Harts Location here in New Hampshire.
