convince putin to stop fighting rebels who are fighting al assad and instead fight isis. that s the change in strategy that washington wants to see. but don t hole your breath yet. barbara starr at the pentagon, thanks so much. remarkable video of that incident. cnn s senior international correspondent nick walsh is back from the battle lines. now in istanbul, turkey, turkey the front line in the battle against syria, with plane shot down. what s the reaction there? reporter: well, turkey, frankly, staunchly defiant about what it did. their justification, this is not the first time russia has, in their opinion, openly violated airspace. late the september a number of similar instances, russian and turkish officials met and tried to hammer out any confession,
isis, it s worse. so, you support hillary clinton. sure. she was secretary of state for four years. how much of this is her responsibility? how much of this is disapproval of her? if it s not related to her hoe does she differentiate herself from the president? another poll shows that hillary clinton in the eyes of the voters trumps, trump and everyone else in the republican field as to who you trust, who is the most prepared to deal with terrorism issue. so, as far as president obama s concerned, we re in the immediate aftermath of the tragic attack. people are probably scared, confused. and he and secretary kerry are doubling down. and they know they have to do more. now secretary clinton gave an amazing speech last week in new york city where she laid out a detailed plan as to what she thinks should be done, and some sof that would go further than president obama would go now. and in fact, when she was secretary of state, in the inner
hierarchy, tasked by the senior leadership to launch a rolling series of attacks in europe against countries targeting isis in syria and iraq. and they re organizing the various language groups to target various countries, so they re getting british isis recruits to target the uk, dutch isis recruits, netherlands, germans, and so on. there s a real concern now that paris is the beginning of what will be a very worrying few months, john. a rolling series of attacks. paul, what s the latest theory on what abdelhamid abaaoud, why he would go to the scene of these attacks in paris on the 13th in the hours after they happened? well, one possible explanation is that he was going there to film the carnage, the aftermath for propaganda purposes. isis really drilling into their operatives and fighters at the need to film their attacks, to film the aftermath of the
