Across the border a major assault in the key city of mosul. At many as 20,000 iraqi troops could be involved in the assault along with u. S. Air power and possibly u. S. Ground troops as well but its also several months away. So why Start Talking about it now . Richard engel is nbcs chief Foreign Correspondent in istanbul, turkey this morning. Richard, good morning. Reporter good morning. Its good to talk to you. First about that deal that has finally been put to paper between the United States and turkey to train a relatively small number of syrian rebels.

Tackling our common challenges. For instance, discuss how to upgrade natos outdated mission and structure including migration and islamic terrorism. [applause] i will not hesitate to deploy military force when there is no alternative. But if america fights, it must only fight to win. [applause] i will never send our finest into battle unless necessary. And i mean absolutely necessary. And will only do so if we have a plan for victory with a capital v. Our goal is peace and prosperity and not war and destruction. The best way to achieve those goals is with a disciplined and deliberate and consistent Foreign Policy. With president obama and secretary clinton, weve had the exact opposite. A reckless and rudderless and aimless Foreign Policy. One that has blazed a path of destruction in its wake.

Every case comes on its own facts with its own record and can be analyzed anew. And then there is the law of precedent, which weve discussed. I wrote this 800 page book on. Makes a great door stop, gift for christmas. I got a really bad deal on royalties. Another way for the court to clean up after itself. Yeah. Thats what people suggesting. There is way to do that. Precedent is not an inexorible command. So the court can reverse itself. It happens. If a question were to come up regarding recusal on the court, how would we know that the partiality question in a recusal matter had been adequat
