destroying a tank, destroying a couple of the vehicles. a message back to these shia militias definitely to back off and stay away from where u.s. forces are operating. there s a very clear understanding of these so-called deconfliction zones. the regime knows about them. the russians know about them. when the show of force came in the air, the militias should have gotten a clue. brooke? so colonel, barbara say this is extra ordinary narrowly rare. do you even know how many times they have hit pro-assad forces? yeah. yeah. this is the second time we ve done it intentionally. there was a mistaken attack on forces early on but this is the second time we ve struck them b intentionally. we re not there really to engage the syrians. we re there to engage isis. but we have to protect our own forces, plus the forces that we are training in that area.
to figure out what it is that is their biggest concern and how they can address it. i think a lot of members of the house freedom caucus and a lot of the members of the house, period, didn t fully grasp the strategy here in terms of the three phases that a lot of the things they re talking about were going to be done administratively and in a tax package and so on. but these are people who were in the room with the president multiple times. having said that, ron, i can tell you i was at the white house last friday and there were people on the senior staff who were seething because they really did feel like the president did negotiate in good faith. they said give us a and he gave them a and they came back and they wanted b and when he gave them b, they wanted c and d and e. something john boehner learned when he was speaking of the house and now paul ryan is learning it in a different way. is this the president saying i m not going to do business as usual. it doesn t matter what part
so he could have been radicalized for a while and looking for the bride. again, it is looking like his wife was a contributor, but maybe not the catalyst as we thought before. and it is certainly calling into question the time line of when they met and whether he was seeking somebody with similar views and people were saying was it the wife who radicalized him, and no sh, if he had been plott an attack the years before he reached out to this woman. true? true. this whole case is it is featuring quite a few interesting loopholes here. a loophole in financing. the nontraditional target if you wi will. a lot of the things in this case are going to be studied in the future, or the visa waiver program, and the fiancee exception if you will, where you can go to the terrorist breeding ground and find yourself a mail order bride and thibring them b

there. we have not seen it for ourselves. they re telling us that they re in full control. these are most definitely significant developments for the fighters. bearing in mind that it was the last point that they got to before ga dodhafi forced them b to brega. and, arwa, is the idea to make their way all the way over to the capital of tripoli at some point and also talk a little bit more about how much of this might not be possible without or maybe even impossible with the coalition air strikes. reporter: absolutely, t.j. when the opposition fighters tell you about how they won back the territory, the first thing that they ll do is thank them for the air strikes. without them, they would not have been stable to come this far. the highway leading to benghazi to this point at various stages, you see the impact that the air
