Secretary of state john kerry said the coalition is expanding with nearly 40 countries pledging to contribute to fight to defeat isis before they gain more ground in iraq and syria. As nbc chief Foreign Correspondent Richard Engel reports in turkey, its unclear which Ground Troops would be involved in syria. Even if the air strikes begin who moves in on the ground it take over . It seems that the force best positioned to do that right now is the government of Bashar Al Assad is aligned with hezbollah.

To update what i said a moment ago, i should have said the Vice President and mrs. Biden were away. Do we know if there were any bullets that struck the residence . Reporter at this point, joy, we dont know that. But this was outside of the driveway that goes to his home. You cant see the home from the foot of the driveway.
