Death find the end of a chapter. But no mistake, something does still continue. We dont know what it is but we know that isis was fractured as an ideology and franchise and unlikely that one mans death will end from a stretch from philippines through russia and to the streets of european capitals but an interesting set of questions that the commanderinchief will end up answering about how this raid came about. It was literally miles away from the southern turkish border, an area where many did not imagine abu bakr albaghdadi, the leader of isis, would look for shelter. This is where al qaeda have the biggest strong hold, a place where western intelligence chiefs are concerned about the next wave of jihad but who led them to that particular location. We understand from u. S. Officials turkey was told this operation was happening perhaps already underway and the question being what piece of
information brought them to that spot. The syrian kurds who have been the u. S. Main ally on the g ....
Of this particular raid, you ll find the same similarities, people focused on the target in the neighborhood who understand the players in the neighborhood. meaning our presence on the ground in syria as small as it was was probably critically important to putting the intelligence package together. there is an old saying in intelligence, it is access, access, access. you need to be as close to the problem as you can if your going to get information that would lead to a raid like this. we ll find out how much congress was notified about this ahead of time, if at all. i believe it is customary to alert the heads of congress and the heads of the house and senate intelligence committee. is that what happened during bin laden raid? so my experience with very sensitive operations like this one is one of the things that you ll be talking about in the situation room after the intelligence community briefs this operation and you consider all of the other risks the question will turn to how ....
This example but also we re going to see them drop all sorts of executive orders to go over the heads of congress. this is something that s much bigger than this particular action. elliott, let me ask you about where this goes next. congress, you need both chambers to have a two-thirds vote to override th override veto. they don t have that here. so what happens next, this goes to the courts and the president seemed to undercut his own argument by saying i didn t need to do this, i just wanted to do it faster but does it help these measures exist, republicans sign on and basically do congress say hey, we re not going to give you this money and they followed up with this with no, don t do this? not only that, congress is itself a party that can challenge the legality of the president s actions because they re the one who was wronged. in the law you have something called standing, when you re hurt, you have a right to sue. ....
Can t just sit there. the president is supposed to just sit there. if we have an emergency, the president is supposed to just sit there? you never know if something might happen. i would hope we would never have a chief executive who would twiddle his thumbs because congress can t get their act together. bill: fox news contributor, how are you, pal? what did you think of that defense? i think have year is probably one of the best spinners he has in congress but that was one of the worst performances i ve seen from him or anybody in a long while. the idea somehow trying to fix a broken health care law unaterally over the heads of congress and the legislative branch is the same thing is trying to tell a foreign vision or some other national security threat is absolutely ridiculous ....
Another resignation in the christie camp. governor christie s director of intergovernmental relations. the mayor s claim it administration pressured them, she is quitting. she claims her decision has nothing to do with the scandal but she is one of the officials who have been subpoenaed. they tell us it will still take more time to review all the materials the committee is receiving. i got thousands of pages from a handful of people previously, now 20 top christie officials have been subpoenaed. hearings are supposed to be held on all of this in trenton sometime in the coming weeks. martha: we will have more on that coming up. thank you very much. bill: paul ryan going over the heads of congress. karl rove will analyze it in a matter of minutes. martha: and we have a triple threat, three storms, three ....
