World. Its one of the reasons that president obama specifically talked in his speech to muslim youth talking about how they were too many of them being led astray. But youre right, this jeagendas not a modest one and that can be accomplished any time soon. Its going to last decades, if not generations, wolf. And fareed, how is it going to be received in the muslim and arab world . It seems like the president was lecturing muslims, lecturing arabs, telling them what they need to do. Wolf, i picked up on that as well. I think that the most different part of this speech from any speech, any speech any american president has given is not the call for American Leadership, frankly, every president does that every year. Yes, this is a bombing campaign, but president obama has bombed before. What is different here has been this extraordinarily tough love, tough language to the muslim world, which was done in a very unvarnished way. I dont think president bush, frankly, would have done it becau
But it is not just isis. Why this country is attack another group of terrorists you never heard of until now. Will air strikes make us safer or put us in danger on the home front.

Pamela, good evening. What can you tell us abut these attacks and khorasan . We can tell you that this group of al qaeda operatives in syria, called khorasan had been on u. S. Officials radar since at least the springtime. Recent intelligence suggested the group was in advance stage plotting an attack against the west, europe or the u. S. , by using western recruits. U. S. Officials felt like they had to act fast to disrupt the plotti
He may or may not answer questions to give us more details. Hes doing this just before he leaves for the u. N. And we expected the u. N. Meetings to be so pivotal in organizing the coalition, in changing the game and shaping things moving forward in the fight against isis now this has happened. So a much different atmosphere, at least as regards this that he goes to the u. N. He still want to continue to build the coalition but now its begun in earnest in syria. That was a big milestone, something that has been debated for a long time, not only now but last year in regards to assad and his chemical weapons. Now were seeing this happening and arab partners involved, five of them, some of them at least contributing air strikes. What we expect the president to say is maybe a reaffirmation of the goals of this mission, something the white house has laid out many times before. Possibly spelling out some of the success that the administration feels it has seen so far as well as the success o
Lieutenant colonel ralph peters agrees and hes accusing president obama of just launching strikes for political reasons. Our president who launched this phony air campaign, basically to absolve him of any blame to get him and his party through the november elections, this air campaign has been pal try from the start, he warned them they were coming, he hit empty buildings in the dead of night. He doesnt want casualties, not even civilian casualties, he doesnt wanting a lot of dead terrorists. His former defense secretary says he should have followed through on that red line he set for syria. The most important thing that the president has is the credibility of our word, when he drew the red line in syria, i think it was the right thing to do. But once you draw that line and he did, then i think the correct of the United States is on the line, thats when they somehow began to pull back, it sent a mixed message not only to syria, not only to assad, but to the rest of the world. I think t
