Deal but that folks here are very skeptical about whether it can work and that i have been here before. You noted the result of marathon talks between russian president putin, ukrainian president poroshenko, leaders of france and germany and the results a couple pieces of paper which may or not mean a year of bloodshed. Peace fire was supposed to go into effect midnight local time saturday night and 5 00 p. M. Eastern time. The withdraw of heavy weapons like tanks and rockets. Theyve been doing so much damage there and the damage as you know continues right now. The last couple weeks have been some of the most bloody fighting in the last year or so of fighting in the region. Theres a battle right now over a key transport in the east and thats a hitch here too martha because there are three more days to fight if the ceasefire goes into effect and the line of Division Still hasnt been marked out. Trying to get in as much as they possibly can in the next three days. What about the presence of Russian Troops . What does this deal say about that . This is another very vague point. Theres one line in the agreement which says there should be the pullout of foreign troops from the region. Doesnt say who or how. Also says that the border between russia and ukraine and this is crucial should be controlled by the Ukrainian Military but not after a lot of conditions are met and not until the end of the year. Remember Vladimir Putin russian president , says he doesnt have any troops or tanks or artillery inside ukraine. Various sources authoritative sources, say otherwise. I spoke to one high level american contact today. He says theres about 6,000 to 8,000 Russian Troops inside ukraine at the moment. Ukraineian government is saying 50 russian tanks crossed the border in the last 24 hours. Probably thats why washington will be taking a wait and see approach to this agreement especially before it decides on whether to send those lethal weapons that have been talked about. He doesnt have anyone there according to him but he can negotiate the circumstances under which they might stay or go. Thank you very much. The United States is backing up that peace deal by sending a battalion around 600 american para paratroopers to ukraine next month to train Ukrainian Government forces. The Top Army Commander in europe describing it as getting them up to speed. How to operate in an environment where russians are making it difficult so well train how to do that better and also how to protect yourself from the russian and rebel artillery and rockets. The u. S. Paratroopers already based in italy right now part of nato forces there. New reaction pouring in after the president laid out what he says is his strategy against isis. The president calling the terror group a grave threat and ask for congress for three years of war powers. The request is very specific about what the u. S. Will not do. It will not commit longterm Ground Troops and critics say the plan is just a little too political. I think this aumf draft is his attempt to split the baby and be in the middle and try to appease the left and right. You cant work on a compromise agreement to go to war. You have to say destroy the Islamic State where they exist no matter how long it takes. Whats the reaction so far to the president s request . Reporter 24 hours since we got this from the white house and a lot of folks are trying to figure out exactly what all of it means. Exhibit a from this draft that was sent by the white house to congress saying that it would prohibit enduring offensive Ground Combat operations. Republicans in congress say that simply wont work on the battlefield. Its hard to tell when youre in the middle of a firefight. White house lawyers admit none of these to tell when you are in the middle of a firefight. The white house lawyers admit none of these terms have any precedent. Reporter the words matter a great deal. The republicans are using this to put the president and his strategy under a microscope. What does enduring offensive Ground Combat operations mean. Number two the possibility of a sunset clause, how long this operation would last. And if there are any geographical restrictions in where and when the president would be allowed to use force. Gregg as you point out there are sceptical republicans. So how is he trying to sell it . Reporter big bold statement we heard from the president , long in terms of the rhetoric of what hes going to do to isis but short on specifics. I would be prepared to order our special forces to take action because i will not allow these terrorists to have a safe haven. We need flexibility but we have to be careful and deliberate. Reporter the president is worried about congress passion his authorization. He leaves cold washington for sunny california. Hes got a cybersecurity summit he will be at in the bay area, then he spends the weekend playing golf in palm springs. Gregg i think its 85 degree in palm desert palm springs. Martha well get reaction to the president s draft resolution, how it might go or when it is presented to congress when we talk to the Senate Armed ServicesCommittee Chairman and senator john mccain.

Im convinced the United States should not get dragged back into and prolonged ground war in the middle east. Martha president Obama Asking Congress for new authority to go to war with isis but hes clear he will not allow u. S. Ground troops in this battle. Im joined by john mccain, the chairman of the Senate Armed Services committee where he has been very, very busy traveling back and forth to saudi arabia. What did you think about the president s statement you just heard . Its classic obama telling our enemies what we are not going to do. No orparticular laying on the strategy. Nothing is said about Bashar Alassad who slaughtered his own people and driven them into refugee status. We are training young syrians to go back into syria to fight against Bashar Alassad. What are we going to do if Bashar Alassad keeps on barrel bombing them . This was a study in obama incoherentsy. Ill tell you an ugly truth. Well have to. Have boots on the ground. The iraqi army is a long way from being viable. Shiia militia who are iranian backed and iranian equipped in iraq. This is a situation completely in disarray. A total lack of american leadership. Martha the president said the coalition is strong. We are training moderate in syria to battle isis on their own. We are standing up the iraqi army to do the same thing where they are. Because those boots are on the ground we woabilities we with wont need our boots on the ground. History will show you have to have air controllers and special forces embeded in these forces. He separates iraq from syria where isis is one entity. But if he would come to congress and say heres our strategy rather than announcing what we wont do which is in his tradition of announcing withdrawals there might be something to it. But what this is is a tacit continuation of what has failed and turned the area into chaos. We are training some people. Meanwhile we have authorities of thousands of people flowing into iraq and syria to fight for isis. There is any chance that the iraqi forces and Syrian Forces can achieve the goal the president set of destroying this entity and wiping it off the face of the . Over time if we trained enough and equipped enough and had american broots boots on the ground to do those integral missions only the United States can do, we could over time. What we are doing now is not going to work and i know of no military expert that will tell you that it will thats outside of the administration. This always saturday. Martha the former defense secretary to the president said this plan isnt going to work. Is this going to take months and months to hash out this aumf . Unless they can articulate a strategy to do what the president said our goal is to degrade and defeat isis. I believe it must have something to do with Bashar Alassad as well. I dont think its going anywhere. Martha whats next. He presence this plan. He tells us this is what the goal of the United States is. What are you going couplew to him with. We have been having hearings with him about the situation. We have had the smartest people in America FrankGeorge Schultz to general jack keane and others who see a lot on your program and all of them have arctic late that we dont have a strategy to succeed, not to mention the iranian threat which is now widespread, the latest of course in yemen. So we just have to keep pressing to get this president and this admin sphrietion recognize there is a direct threat to the United States of the america. Thats what the head of the british mi5 said in a speech a few weeks ago. Susan rice says she does not believe this Group Presence an a threat to the United States. They he pose a direct threat to the United States. Its only logic these people who are europeans. All they have to do is go home and get on an airplane to document United States of america. Senator, thank you so much. Well see you next time. Martha three people are a whole lot richer this morning. Confirmed winning pouring ball particular nets three states. Is yours one of them .

The right people to get the extraordinary done. Martha the Labor Department says unemployment applications rose for a seasonally ajutd total of 304,000. Motley average is slightly south of that and down 14 from one year ago. The bill is passed. There it is. Congress giving final approval to the keystone xl pipeline. The bill passion with bipartisan support. 29 democrats voting for it. The bill now head to president obamas desk and hes promising a veto. Byron york, the editor of the washington examiner. Because the president loves to accuse congress of failing to act. They did act. 270 votes thats not nothing. It passed with 52 votes. A filibuster proof majority in the senate. 65 of americans say they want the president to sign the pipeline bill versus 22 who want him to veto it. If he does recontroversy it he will be act on behalf of a pretty small minority of americans. Gregg he claims, we need to study it more. It has been studied for six years. There have been five different Environmental Impact studies. The last one by the state department was 11 volumes. I actually spent time digging through it. They all say the same thing. The pipeline will not significantly increase carbon pollution. In fact to the con trairpy lit help reduce it. I plucked a coat page 34 of the executive summary. Because transporting oil by truck and rail produces emissions that are 28 to 42 greater than for the proposed pipeline. If its true and all five studies say its true, isnt failing to build the pipeline hurting the environment . It would be. But you have got to remember a couple important edge krat i can constituency important democratic con cityien constituencies want the president to veto it. The only question is does it comeUnited States and have a positive impact here. I think what you will see now is if the president does veto it its not like the republicans will go away. It will take a while and perhaps they will atasm to it an energy bill. Will the president veto the whole thing just to stop the pipeline . If that doesnt work they will attach it to an appropriations bill. The president may have to veto the Keystone Pipeline multiple times in the next year. Martha in the wake of the career worst outing in phoenix tiger woods is making a big announcement. Gregg as president Obama Asks Congress for new authorization to fight isis. New fox news polling today a shows most americans dont have much con if i dplens that strategy. The president says he wants to disman and distroy isis. Fiber one. Fiber one streusel. How much money do you have in your pocket right now . I have 40 21. Could something that small make an impact on something as big as your retirement . I dont think so. Well if you start putting that towards your retirement every week and let it grow over time, for twenty to thirty years that retirement challenge might not seem so big after all.
