Groups, isis, and khorasan. Really a group that was unknown to the American People until 24 hours ago. Thats not the case any more. The president will go on to talk in the speech about, the need, importance of bidding tuilding global colegislation to take on the threats. Later in the day he has important matters on the schedule. Sitting down for the first time with the iraqi prime minister, talking about the effectiveness of the air strikes that have been taking place in iraq. And also, what is taking place in syria. Because as we know, don, isis really started over in syria then came into iraq and started seizing swaths of territory, and, hell want the president to continue the air strikes. Be looking for reaction from the president on that tomorrow. And then later in the afternoon, the president will be doing something he has done once before, chair a u. N. Security council meeting. He did this back in 2009 on subject of climate change. This time on the dangers posed by the foreign f
The United States unleashed a barrage of cruise missiles and precision guided bombs inside syria for the first time. Were talking 200 pieces of precision ordnance. Now, part of it was an attack against isis targets. But in a development that surprised a lot of people, Central Command revealed that a separate set of air strikes were aimed at eliminating an imminent threat to the u. S. Homeland. A new al qaeda offshoot known as the Khorasan Group was apparently plotting an attack against the u. S. Homeland. Now, the strikes against khorasan were unilateral, only the United States was involved but the strikes against isis were carried out by a coalition. Five arab allies joined the United States attacking by air and by sea. There you see them. Jordan, saudi arabia, bahrain, qatar. The United Arab Emirates. Sunni governments in each of these nations taking action against sunni militants inside syria. Thats a very big development. President obama praised this operation just a short time ago
How well do you know your world . Ill share some scary numbers on just how ignorant Many Americans and others around the world are. Also, president obama has been called many things this week, but is he a republican . That is what one prominent conservative says. We will have a spirit ed debate. And the white house has no real solution for syria. The gop doesnt have one either. I will introduce you to a man who says he does, and it does seem to make a lot of sense. But first, here is my take. Despite this weeks elections, president obama has the opportunity to do big things over the next two years, but they will have to be in the world beyond washington. Next weeks trip to asia would be a good place to start. In fact, its odd that obama has not already devoted more time, energy, and attention to Foreign Policy. Its been clear for a while now that there is no prospect of working with the Republican Party on any major domestic policy, but if obama seeks some kind of Foreign Policy legacy
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
Dead in this cell in the Waller County texas jail. Police say she hanged herself. Authorities say her death is being investigated like murder. Were going to have a lot more on this a little later on. We begin the latest uproar surrounding donald trump. It completely overshadowed the entry of a 16th republican contender for the nomination. Ohio governor john kasich. Late today, candidate jeb bush had sharp words for the tone he believes will donald trump is setting. We have to appeal to peoples higher aspirations, or well lose elections over and over and over again. Thats my problem with mr. Trump. His problem, he says is not necksly the message but in what he calls the language of divisive ugliness which brings us to the latest campaigning of South Carolina home to senator and rival Lindsey Graham who has called him a jack ass. Mr. Trump had a reply and it could not be more personal. Reporter donald trump barraged by criticism. They say they didnt like the way that you know ill a littl
