border with jordan, that's troublesome. >> initially, we saw them come down the tigris valley, the euphrates valley, to baghdad. then they turned southwest and secured the town of europe, that's where the roads go into syria and the main crossing into jordan is, they're now in control of that. i think they've ceded control of the entire western part of the country to isis. >> so effectively, the route that for 11 years pretty much anyone who doesn't have special gear like ya'll have, that's the route they come into the country, is other the jordanian border and across that way. when the president says, chris, we need to get our guys on the ground, guys like you, to establish control, what is he saying? >> i think he's saying that we need to get guys in there and observe, but i would say that it's not the right thing to do. they have to mobilize these forces and stop these advances.
