FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier September 22, 2014

Access to military equipment and who have indicated a willingness to die for their cause. This is a manage who appeared in an isis propaganda video on friday. The administration estimates that of the 15,000 foreign fighters who have gone to syria to fight, 4,000 of them have gone to europe. President obama is slated to chair a u. N. Security council meeting. Its only the second time that a u. S. President has done so. The french became the first u. S. Ally to carry out air strikes in iraq, late today an isis Splinter Group in algeria announced the lease of a hostage. The president s entire National Security team advised him three years ago to arm the syrian rebels. I think the president s concern, and i understand it, was that he had a fear that if we started providing weapons, we wouldnt know where those weapons would wind up. My view was you have to begin somewhere. In retrospect now, was not arming the rebels at that time a mistake . I think that would have helped. And i think in part, we paid a price for not doing that in what we see happening with isis. Reporter the socalled Islamic State continues its march capturing 60 iraqi troops in the falluja area, while the debate over boots on the ground continues in the u. S. Secretary of state john kerry tried to explain to the Senate Foreign Relations Committee last week how nearly 1,200 u. S. Troops in iraq dont constitute combat troops, a marketedly different tone than when kerry appeared in 2001 oppose this country has not been able to see that theres absolutely no difference between a ground troop and a helicopter crew, and yet people have accepted a differentiation fed to them by the administration. What the administration is trying to communicate, is that were not going to send battalions, were not going to send brigades, but there will have to be according to the mission the president has assigned, some american boots on the ground and in harms way. This is the first time the administration has acknowledged some of the American Foreign fighters are now back in the u. S. Up until now the president and senior members of his cabinet said repeat dpli that theres no evidence thats sis poses an immediate threat to the homeland. All along there have been questions about president obamas level of enthusiasm for the isis effort. Tonight senior political analyst brit hume to talk about that. There is an internationally respected case to be made that the United States should do nothing or next to nothing to destroy the terrorist force known as isis. It goes Something Like this. Despite its beheadings and its threats, isis should be seen as a meld any strategy to defeat isis that relies solely on airpower can certainly make things harder for isis fighters, but it takes Ground Troops to dislodge occupies from territory. Their introduction, especially in sere ja would be a throw of the dice against utterly unpredictable odds. In the middle east, a historic upheaval should be permitted to run its course, not because things will turn out well but its unlikely that American Military force can make things turn out better. I dont buy this argument, but it would appear that president obama does. He felt his hand was forced to by the publics outrage and alarm over those videotaped beheadings so he came up with a strategy for isiss eventually defeat, which is not designed to fail. What about the politics of this, even looking forward to 2016, you have these comments now by former defense secretary leon panetta, you have former president bill clinton weighing in as well, what this means political politically . You mean that the president took the wrong course with syria and else where . I dont think the go men are expressing what they thought and feel. What they think of this, particularly when Hillary Clintons doubts are made part of what theyre saying, that this tends to distance her from this policy which is going so badly at the moment and obviously has some political consequences. All right, brit, as always, thank you. You bet. Another fox news alert now. Authorities say a man who breached White House Security over the weekend had something of a portable armory in his vehicle. Peter doocey has details. Hollywood makes it hard to break into the white house, but for Omar Gonzalez, it was easy, because the front door was unlocked.

He ask considered a flight risk and a danger to the president. A public defender says gonzalez who was quiet and responsive in court will not per sue an insanity defense and understands the charges against him. President obama says hes thankful for the secret it was. Im grateful for the sacrifices they make on me behalf and on my familys behalf. Now the agency is considering checkpoints several blocks away from the complex to screen tourists and others for guns and bombs before they reach pennsylvania avenue. The secret Service Office of professional responsibility is investigating fridays incident and during that inquiry, Homeland Security secretary jay johnson says, quote, i encourage all of us not to rush to judgment about the event and not second guess the judgment of Security Officers who had only seconds to act until all the facts are in. But ron kesler, who has written books about the secret service, he thinks differently. To say that it was admirable that they showed restraint, isnt that wonderful . Can you imagine if this guy had wmd or a bomb and detonated them in the white house and the president was there . Reporter the white house announced today the door breached by Omar Gonzalez friday night used by tour groups and employees almost every day will now be locked when not in use. Brett .

The former irs bureaucrat at the center of the the conservative targeting scandal has now spoken to the media. Chief washington correspondent james rosen on what else she said. Im affirming my right not to testify. Reporter 15 months after she pleaded the 5th, she has broken her silence. In an interview with politico, learner provides virtually no details about her role in the irs scandal. Instead learner says defiantly she did nothing wrong, adding regardless of whatever else happened, i know i did the best i could under the circumstances, and am not sorry for anything i did. And in answer to a question she planted, back in 2013, she apologized for the inappropriate targeting of these tea party groups. So i dont know how that comports with her saying i have no regret. While learner in a 2012 email called conservatives crazies and used an expletive to describe them further, she told pretty coe, my personal opinions have not affected my work. As for those missing emails, she asks, how would i know two years ahead of time that it would be important for me to destroy emails and if i did know that, why didnt i destroy the others ones they keep releasing. The ensuing article oftens no Inspector General circulated a report highly critical of her office to ask if her internal messages were being saved. Ultimately it was lois learner who violated the law. Republican congressman darrell issa responded to the interview by saying the American People deserve to hear learners testimony under oath, that if she had nothing to hide, she c basic questions about her conduct instead of obstructing congresss investigation. Learner tells politico she now finds herself unemployable and intends her days gardening and doing volunteer work. While her name is synonymous with the irs scandal, and while her and her husband have racked up hundreds of thousands in legalfees. The obama m is taking on the tax saving tactic known as inversion. That is when a company relocated on paper out of the country to try to avoid some tax liability. The Treasury Department says it will eliminate certain money moving Techniques Companies use to access the overseas earnings of foreign subsidiaries. President obama has characterized inversions as unfair. Several republicans have said the administration should instead pass comprehensive Corporate Tax reform. Stocks were down today, the dow lost 107, the s p 500 was off 15, the nasdaq dropped 62. Hundreds of ecoprotesters marched in manhattan, this followed yesterdays massive demonstration in new york. Todays march was to protest the role of corporate and economic institutions in climate change. The u. S. Finds itself in a delicate situation with iran tonight. President obama wants help with isis, but ask reportedly not willing to back down on Irans Nuclear program in order to get that help. Senior White House Foreign Affairs correspondent Wendell Goler has the specific. Reporter pressed by their seizure of territory in syria and iraq and the executions of two americans and a brit tan, u. S. Officials have stressed shiia muslim iran has a stake in the fight too. But the Officials Say theyre not willing to bargain over Irans Nuclear program to get its aid for the terrorist threat. We have made clear both publicly and privately that the conversations in the p5 plus one talks. Irans ayatollah raised the issue by claiming he voretoed a u. S. Request that his country Work Together with Virginia Republican congressman randy forbes agrees. We still have to remember, iran is a major, major concern for many of us around the world if they get a nuclear weapon, its a huge game changer in the middle east. Reporter in Fact Administration officials wont even confirm whether iran has privately sought such a trade and they flatly denied the u. S. Suggested working with iran. Let me suggest that we are not coordinating military operations or sharing intelligence with iran. Reporter the Administration Says it expresses its own concerns about the isis threat and it also supports bashara. And neither of those two have spent much energy going after its skis. Still the u. S. Should be careful about helping iran even if it doesnt vo a nuclear trade off. To be doing anything at all to build them up, to give them sanctuaries, to in effect have them on our side, what does that do to israel . The phrase the enemy of my enemy is my friend is often thought to be a muslim phrase, but it actually predates the profit mohammad by 1,000 years and is often wrong and should not be applied to isis in iran. Ahead, obama care enrollment numbers are going down. Well tell you why. First two massive man hunts, first for the last person seen with a missing Virginia College student and then for a cop killer in pennsylvania. Mise. Ok, how about 10 gigs of data to share, unlimited talk and text, and you can choose from 2 to 10 lines. Wow, sounds like a great deal. So im getting exactly what i want, then . Appears so.

Oh, thats terrifying at ts bestever pricing. 210 lines, 10 gigs of truly shareable data, unlimited talk and text, starting at 130 a month. Hello. You can go ahead and have a nice flight. Re. Music plays music plays traveling can feel like one big mystery. Youre never quite sure what is coming your way. But when youve got an entire company who knows that the fewest cancellations and the most ontime flights are nothing if we cant get your things there, too. Its no wonder more People Choose delta than any other airline. Iwith something terrible to admit. I treated thousands of patients, risked their lives, while high on prescription drugs.

Theyre randomly tested for drugs and alcohol. But not us doctors. You can change that vote yes on proposition 46. Your lives are in our hands. Searchers are combing through the dense forest of northeastern pennsylvania tonight looking for the man they believe to be a cop killer. Rick lebenthal is live in prescott, pennsylvania. Reporter police have been telling us theyre closing in on suspect eric freen on saturday. Were hearing that this man hunt could be over very soon. But tonight this suspect is still on the loose, still considered armed and very dangerous, hundreds of local and state police and federal agents are part of this massive search, combing through miles of very thick and rugged woods in the pocono mountains, rough terrain that eric freen is very familiar with, he grew up here and honed his survival skills in these same woods. The governor said today that it appears freen only wants to shoot law enforcement. He had the opportunity to shoot civilians at the Blooming Grove barracks, at the same time that he shot the police officer. So it is our conclusion that he is aimed totally at Police Officers because there were unarmed civilians who were right in the exact same location. During the course of the shooting, and he chose not to shoot at them. And brett, what youre seeing now 100 dreai10i is hundreds of who are combing the area. Theres still a 100,000 reward for information leading to his capture. But he is still on the loose tonight. Now a desperate search is on for a man believed to be the last person to be seen with university of virginia student hanna graham before she disappeared. Lee land vitter is in charlottesville this morning with the latest in this story. Reporter good evening, brett, you dont often see wanted posters for reckless driving. But here it is right here. Police say that Jesse Matthew walked into the Charlottesville Police department, asked for a lawyer and then gave them the slip. Police say it could be tomorrow that they are going to get the states crime lab report back on evidence they have taken from matthews car and house. But so far, at least, they dont have enough to charge him with any part of hanna grahams disappearance. I believe Jesse Matthew was the last person she was seen with before she skrvanished offe face of the earth. Reporter now police have zeroed in on matthews, 62, 270 pounds after he was seen walking in the pedestrian mall in charlottesville just about the same time as hanna graham, and police say after this photo was taken, he led her to a restaurant and bought one drink and then the pair left. Here residents of charlottesville say life is very different here on the street and many say that the innocence of this charming college town has now been shattered. Leland vitter in charlottesville.
