And nato are watching syria over concerns that russia is beefing up its military presence there. Moscow says this is nothing new. But over the past few days aircraft has arrived in northwest syria. Cbs Senior Security director mike morell joins us live. Good morning. Good morning, gayle. What is exactly behind this . What does this mean . U. S. Intelligence is monitoring russian activity in northwest syria and what theyre seeing is the arrival of prefabrication Housing Units for about a thousand people, a portable air Traffic Control system, a tank landing ship. Not a lot of clarity on whats happening here, but the leading theory is the russians are building an air base and the concern is that they might conduct combat air operations out of that air base on behalf of president assad and his fight against isis, el nusra, and the opposition. Thats the concern. How do we respond to that . The only thing to do is try to stop the flow of these arms. Theres three ways for the russians to get this stuff to syria. One is to fly overtureky. Turkey has said no. Way. The other is bulgaria and greece. The bulgarians have reached out no, more flight. Iranians said you can overfly iran but that still means they need to overfly iraq. So i think the diplomatic focus is going to be iraq and the u. S. Is going to put tremendous pressure on iraq. Well see what they do. I want to tell you about a story in the daily beast about 50 intelligent officials who in some cases say their reports have been altered to make it look like the fight against isis in al qaeda is going better than they actually are. Whats your sense of that . Theyre conducting these in iraq and syria. One of the central tenets one of the key aspects of the policymaking process is that analysts get to say what they think without any interference or change it. So this is a very, very serious charge. I think it needs to be fully investigated, and if there is truth that somebody has been meddling with their analysis, i think somebody needs to lose their job over it and there needs to be full transparency into this. Its so important that analysts think. Mike, crickly. Is the fight with isis going is . Battlefields. One is at iraq and syria. Id say were at stalemate there. The second is the militant groups around the world who are now claiming their fight to i circumstance were losing that battle. And the third battle is the ideological battle for the hearts and minds in the United States, western europe, australia, and darngs i think were losing that fight too. So three different fights.
