Charles lou that was not the only rationalization being undertaken today and you remember chuck hagel and Martin Dempsey just last thursday. He talked about the imminent threat that they pose to this country. When they look at what we did to mr. Foley, what they threatened to do and to all americans and europeans and what they are doing now, i dont know any other way to describe it other than barbaric. And they have no standard of decency or immediacy. So they are a threat and this is an organization that has an apocalyptic end of days strategic vision. And it will eventually have to be defeated. Lou continuing the revisionism, general dempsey has changed it within three days. Telling reporters that he believes the Islamic State is a regional threat we believe that it is a regional threat that will soon become a threat to the United States and europe, as we say here, we report and you decide.

Reporter a source adds that there are a dozen social media accounts into the Senior Leadership and the data suggest that the leader provided his blessing or tacit approval for his murder. One of his fellow hostages memorize the test and later david to his family. It reads in part, i know you are thinking of me in praying for me and im so thankful. Especially when i pray, i pray for you to stay strong and to believe. And investigators on a high level of confidence because the Administration Says all options are available and u. S. Officials told fox news that lethal force is among them. Lou fox news confirming the president obama has again surveillance flights over syria.

Turning now to the escalating tensions between russia and the ukraine on the eve of a meeting between the leaders of both nations, the Ukrainian Government today accusing russia of opening up a new front in the conflict across the border into the southern part of eastern ukraine. An area until now that has escaped hostilities between the two sides.

Lou the worlds worst Ebola Outbreak is spreading, coming the fifth african nation with confirmed cases, the virus has killed more than 1400 people in sierra leone, liberia, guinea and nigeria. According to the world health organization, it needs more than 430 million to bring the west african Ebola Outbreak under control and Officials Say a doctor who received transcends has died. Two of the six people have succumbed to the disease. Two americans who took the drug have recovered. They were released from the hospital last week. And the white house earlier downplayed president obama is comments claiming that he was not singling out the Islamic State but from a range of extremists and many who dont have designs against the United States, joining us now is the former head of the cia bin laden unit. Its good to have you with us, michael. Three thank you, sir. This is a spectacle and there are many things unexpected in washington. In but in the course of three days, to go from the defense secretary and the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff declaring the Islamic State to be a terrorist group that poses an imminent threat to the United States to being uncertain about the proximity of the threat is really breathtaking. Is appalling but not surprising. This president has tried to play down the islamic threat to the United States if he became president. We have four people that died and been rising because mrs. Clinton and the president didnt want to make the American People think that the problem wasnt over. This is an evolutionary problem and we have seen asunder what in 1992 and what is occurring at the moment is just the development of an Islamist Movement that we chose not to take on. Im pretty sure that no one in the semesters were the Republican Party for all their talk has the stomach to do what it takes and it would be a unilateral effort with enormous amounts of u. S. Troops twice the speed will out and their supporters. They wont do that, so now they have to go back to the lie that they are receiving. In this case, it is expanding and controls about a third of the rack, much of syria. And in order to deal with the threat, even as the president has authorized surveillance over syria and perhaps anticipations and the reality he said that he must go is about to become an ally of bashar alassad. It will add more impetus and we are already backing a dictator and we supported the overthrow of an elected official and right now we are going to back a man who we have called the butcher for the last 30 years in syria. So this administration, and frankly the american foreignpolicy elite doesnt know what its doing. What its doing is inspiring the movement against us and it has no intention to defend america. And i would make a point that the issue of eminence and nonimminent threat, theres an imminent threat always because three consecutive administrations have nailed and to close the southern border. We dont have a clue who is in this country. So talking about this is nonsense because we dont know and the lack of knowledge is our own fault. Lou this president however responsible for this government and this government seems to be out of control. And it also seems to be raising large questions about the integrity of the officials that this administration has put in place. Raising this about the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff and no one wants to talk about this. But i will on this broadcast. This is a man who has reversed himself and three days and the secretary of defense has reversed himself and three days without explanation. This is a president who says that he wasnt referring to the Islamic State when he clearly was, more than seven months ago. And so what are we to think of this government. What you have to think, and this is a tough thing to say, if you listen to what the general has said over the past 18 months about how well things are going in afghanistan, you would know that he is more than willing to lie for the president of the United States. The other shoe issue that is out there that is going to fall is that we are going to turn back afghanistan to the taliban and they are going to inherit trained military formations and an enormous mountain of American Cash and guns. And yet the chairman of the joint chiefs has for the past 18 months said that everything is going well and they can defend themselves. You watch what is going to happen. Afghanistan will not iraq off the front page. Lou michael, its good to have you with us. Thank you, sir. Lou time for a look at our online poll results.

Lou coming up in moments, the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, as they say in washington, walking back the assessment of the Islamic States threat to this country. U. S. Ambassador to the United Nations john bolton will be our guest and the Obama Administration today further politicizing the Michael Brown shooting. Columnist Michael Goodwin will join us next. But first, a few comments on an Unusual Development that occurred in ferguson, missouri. A community that is struggling to slowly awaken from the National Minor of the Police Shooting of a young man. And the outrage of what amounts to political exploitation of the incident by everyone from the president to the states governor to reverend al sharpton and some in the National Media as well. The fact is more than two weeks and three autopsies later, we, the public, dont know if the evidence suggests that Michael Brown attacked the policeman, that the policeman fired in selfdefense or whether he was surrendering to a policeman who overreacted and shot him. Or some other possibility not publicly considered. And as of right now, a missouri grand jury is hearing evidence in the case and the highly unusual parallel federal investigation is also underway attorney general holder was sent to ferguson, but it was unclear on what they accomplished except to appear to be putting his thumb, as he put it perhaps is entire right hand on the scales. They were willing to deepen the racial divide to seize the opportunity to narrow the divide and true leadership and compassion for true unity and the entire country and so many were as willing as the president who is doing that Darren Wilson shot and killed Michael Brown because he is white. And brown with black. One of those and serving as the liaison to the community of ferguson, he was a controversial choice as speaker to eulogize the 18yearold brown. Criticizing police and some Police Tactics by al sharpton, criticizing education as he was expected to do. And then he did something unexpected today, an Unusual Development. He spoke about personal responsibility without calling it such. He talked about dignity and independence without calling it such and not accepting violence is part of the black urban culture without calling it such. What this requires is that we have to be straight up in our community as well. We have to be outraged at a 9yearold gir
