Defense secretary chuck hagel. Oh this is beyond anything that weve seen. So we must prepare for everything. The only way you do that is you take a cold steely hard look at it and get ready. Reporter so far the u. S. Military strategy has been limited to defending personnel and u. S. Facilities. Not hunting isis leaders. Which may change. That includes going after terrorist safe havens across the iraqi border inside neighboring syria, where isis controls territory. On thursday, the highest ranking officer in the u. S. Military general martin dempsey, said defeating isis requires hitting its fighters inside of syria. Isis will only truly be defeated when its rejected by the 20 million disenfranchised sunni that happen to reside between damascus and baghdad. And that requires air strikes . It requires a variety of instruments, only one small part of which is air strikes. Reporter longterm success, he said, requires an International Coalition to fight isis and convincing locals to reject it. But in an email sent to james foleys family just days before the video of his beheading surfaced, isis threatened to strike back at any attempts to stop it.

On a ridealong through the city of ferguson we asked missouri Highway Patrol captain ron johnson what he thought was contributing to the change of attitude here. The partnership between Law Enforcement and the leaders of this community continue to come together to not allow the agitators and that criminal element to define this community. Reporter johnson has been leading security in ferguson since violent protests broke out on august 10th resulting in more than 200 arrests.

After nearly three weeks in an Isolation Unit at Emory University hospital dr. Kent brantly was discharged and declared ebolafree by his team of doctors and nurses. You treated me with expertise, yet with such tenderness and compassion. For the last three weeks you have been my friends and my family. Brantly and aid worker Nancy Writebol were flown to the u. S. For emergency treatment after becoming infected with ebola while doing missionary work in liberia. Writebol left the hospital earlier this week and doctors say that neither one of them is contagious. The medical staff here at emory is confident that the discharge from the hospital of both of these patients poses no Public Health threat. Reporter that was made clear by the warm embraces brantly received from his team a stark contrast to his arrival in the u. S. Earlier this month when he became the first ebola patient ever treated on american soil. While there was cause for celebration here halfway around the world in western africa the ebola epidemic is raging. The current outbreak has sickened nearly 2500 people and killed more than 1300.

Former Virginia Governor Bob Mcdonnell continues on what some call the most Important Campaign of his life this morning. He and his wife press on with their bribery trial a day after he gave an emotional account of his unraveling marriage. Chip reid shows us how that testimony is key to providing a defense theory. Chip, good morning. Reporter good morning. In almost six hours of testimony, a somber Bob Mcdonnell explained how his marriage slowly collapsed. Through it all his wife sat at the defense table and listened on the outside showing almost no emotion at all. Leaving the court house with his arm around his daughter have a nice day. Reporter Bob Mcdonnell had nothing to his to his testimony that pointed the finger of blame directly at his wife, maureen. He told the jury about an emotional email he sent her in september, 2011. You are my soul mate he said but he continued you tell me all the time how bad your life has been with me and how unhappy you are. I am so spiritually and mentally exhausted from being yelled at. The mcdonnells are charged with accepting 165,000 in gifts from businessman Jonnie Williams in exchange for promoting his diet supplement company. Bob mcdonnell is trying to convince the jury that their marriage was so dysfunctional they barely spoke and his wife didnt tell him about many of the gifts. For example, he said he had no idea williams spent 20,000 on her during a shopping spree in new york. She told me she had gotten a couple of dresses, he testified. Or that she borrowed 50,000 from williams. Mcdonnell said he didnt ask her to return the money because he didnt want to have another fight. Legal analyst Bob Holsworth was in the courtroom. Time and again today Bob Mcdonnell said he simply didnt know what Jonnie Williams and his wife were up to. Reporter in 2011 Maureen Mcdonnell and williams exchanged nearly a thousand texts and phone calls. I was actually hurt mcdonnell testified. His lawyer asked, do you think your wife had a physical affair with Jonnie Williams . I dont believe so. Do you think your wife had a strong emotional attachment to Jonnie Williams . Yes. Was she getting that kind of emotional support from you . Mcdonnell whispered, no. Day 20 of the trial began minutes ago. So far mcdonnell has had it pretty easy because his own lawyer is asking the questions. Later today or next week prosecutors will get their turn and it will become a good deal more contentious. Chip reid thank you very much. 18 suspected israeli informants were killed along the gaza strip this morning. A gaza security official says two palestinians were killed 11 of the suspected informants allegedly died by firing squad at the Gaza City Police station. Seven others were killed near a mosque.

Mitt romney and paul ryan shared a stage last night in chicago for the First Time Since their campaign. The House Budget Committee chairman, whos thinking about a president ial bid, says his old running mate is welcome to join. I would love to see mitt romney run for president again. Hes pretty clear in saying that he wont but i hope he will reconsider that because as i write in my book he would have made a fantastic president.
