Election, but as far as announcing candidacy it is true. I am thinking about it. And its a threepeat for the empire state. Miss new york is crowned as the new miss america.

Today in paris, representatives from about 30 nations will meet to try and figure out how to defeat Islamic Militants in iraq and syria. Secretary of state john kerry will attend. The Obama Administration says several arab countries will launch air strikes against isis. So far only australia plans to send ground troops. Congress could vote as early as this week on the president s request for authority to arm Syrian Rebels to fight the extremists. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Annemarie, good morning. There is a sense, a dramatic escalation of world response to the threat of isis is imminent. Todays meeting follows a brutal murder of another western hostage with a fourth now threatthreat en ened. The plan right now is a worldwide front to form to destroy the group. Secretary of state john kerry and diplomats from around the world are in paris today to try to form a global strategy to defeat the Islamic Militant group isis. We have countries in this region, countries outside of this region, in addition to the united states, all of whom are prepared to engage in military assistance. British Prime MinisterDavid Cameron called an emergency meeting of his advisers on sunday after isis beheaded a british citizen and threatened another. They claim to do this in the name of islam. That is nonsense. Islam is a religion of peace. They are not muslims. They are monsters. Cameron is promising to support u. S. Military efforts with logistics and intelligence gathering. President obama has promised no u. S. Combat troops on the ground as the fight expands from iraq to syria. Its going to take an army to beat an army, and this idea will never have any boots on the ground to defeat them in syria. Its fantasy. Congress will vote this week on president obamas request for 500 million to train and equip moderate Syrian Rebels in their fight against isis. I think the plan is the best possible because it recognizes this is not just a military struggle. Its also a political struggle. The measure is expected to pass. Neither iraq nor syria were invited to attend todays meeting. Annemarie . All right. Susan mcginnis in washington. Thank you, susan.
