somalia or they have to here you literally are going to europe and you are a bus ride away from the turkish border and slipping across. the reality is the turks even if we had all of that data i don t have confidence that they kept track of that. the turks told us within 24 hours that the girlfriend of one of the perpetrators in paris was already in syria. so the turks are finding out. they are just not telling us. that is an important set of issues. i tend to think that if there is anyone who can address this it is the turks because that is where they are slipping through. a year ago you would have never imagined that the british government would propose stripping people of pass ports if they had gone to syria. this seems to be the broad response to the problem. i think the discussion is not far off in this country, as well.
american people understand it s a challenging time around the world. and we face situations where we had individuals traveling to isis from countries western countries, even some americans that have been joining in this fight. so this is a dangerous time around the world. we need to be more vigilant and more aggressive in fighting global terrorism. martha: if isis is growing and we are not getting the upper hand on regaining territory which seems to be the take of the military and intelligence out there then you have got the issue of the 100-plus americans who traveled to the region to train according to james clapper yesterday. what are we doing to pull pass ports and follow up on these people to figure out who they are? how is that intelligence evident going so we don t end up with someone coming back with a bomb blowing up an entire area and then we find out he was on a

colonel they said they wanted to come to new york. right? they do want to come to new york you know, listening to vice president cheney last night on the show, he laid it out well. this is a serious threat a nuclear weapon is not outside the realm of possibility. what do you make of dick cheney saying the possibility of attack worse than september 11th in the next decade? what do you think of that? i think it s realistic. it s just a matter of time when you consider these isis guys have 6,000 hard core, and 4,000 foreign fighters walking around with foreign pass ports. to get into the united states and set up cells here would not be difficult. yes. so what are we to do with this point? as far as i m concerned, we had iraq. we had iraq stable.
