Sure. Way to my hear, through my mouth. Big developments in the fight against isis. Right now defense secretary chuck hague and he will joint chiefs chair testifying on the hill as the u. S. Launches new strikes against the islamic extremists. Bombing isis positions near baghdad. Meantime, white house warning syria it had better not target u. S. Planes there. He appears to open the door to the possibility of u. S. Troops on the ground. Listen. My view at this point is that this coalition is the appropriate way forward. I believe that will prove true. If it fails to be true and there are threats to the United States, i would go back to the president and make a recommendation that may include the use of u. S. Military ground forces. In your opinion, are the pilots dropping bombs in iraq as theyre now doing a direct combat mission . Secondly, will u. S. Forces be prepared to provide combat search and rescue if a pilot gets shot down and will they put boots on the ground to make that rescu
Course, would go back to the president and make a recommendation te the use of u. S. Military ground forces. Just hours later the white house was clarifying general dempseys remarks emphatically. Saying that he was, quote, referring to a hypothetical scenario, that he and the president are on the same page, then came a clarification directly from the pentagon. General dempseys remarks did not amount to a, quote, discussion of employing u. S. Ground combat units in iraq. Got it. This is not the first time the general has been caught singing a very different tune from the white house. Back in august he contradicted president obama by suggesting that the terror army isis does pose an immediate threat to the u. S. Homeland. The immediacy is in the number of europeans and other nationalities who have come to the region to become part of that ideology. Some point. Because of open borders and immigration issues, its an immediate threat. The administration walked back those remarks as well. Sa

Prospect of jeb bush staring him down, and mitts own family. He didnt want to spend the next year and a half slogging through hell. Now comes a new poll of likely Iowa Republican caucusgoers showing that jeb bush is going practically nowhere out there with that crowd. This crowd that has picked people like Mike Huckabee and most recently Rick Santorum to be their champion. What gives . If the money people seem bent on jeb, where is the party going to go to find a leader that can unite and excited enough to give Hillary Clinton a fight . John is a republican strategist, and robert gibbs is the former White House Press secretary, and an msnbc contributor. As i mentioned, a new poll from the Des Moines Register just out and Bloomberg Politics shows jeb bush has ground to look up with the conservative grassroots. Look at this poll. Shows the lead of the pack in iowa is the new kid on the block, wisconsin Governor Scott walker, followed by rand paul and Mike Huckabee, no surprise there. Jeb
The family in the south of the country. The question will be whether or not he can get the support he needs to see even more strikes, greater military force against isis. Right now what were seeing on the streets is people are people coming out showing support for the king. The king still needs to make sure he has the Political Support specifically from those families whose sons are out fighting with the isis coalition. This is the next step for him. Its a key question into what happens next in the fight against isis. Is it possible atika, that jordan will send Ground Troops into syria or iraq to fight isis . Reporter its possible but unlikely at this point. Right now i spoke to one man today who said yes, we want to see the jordanian military victorious over isis. When i asked him whether or not he would support sending Ground Troops he said no. He said more can be done with air strikes alone at this point. Of course the reality on the ground is that you cant get back territory from i
