give our trigger pullers on the ground the kind of latitude they would need to crush isis? that s a scary thing to think about. are you speaking as a military member? what s the heart of our military right now and what our men and women are willing to do? well, they you saw the g-20, also. the basically used the troops as an excuse for inaction. i go to walter reed, of course that s in the heart of any commander in chief. but he basically said i don t want to do this when i come back wounded. when you ask vets about why they serve, they do it because they love it. they believe in it. they believe in this country. they re willing to give their lives for something when you see a military person serving over there, they are preventing people from jumping out of the 76th floor of the next world trade center. because there is the coordination. because the longer we leave this problem the greater the threat and the more damage they re going to do here. they ve established a country
the 9800, then you really get to understand that we don t have the trigger pullers that are out there. colonel, thank you. always nice to see you, sir. thank you, greta. president obama promising to bring the troops home by the time he left office. well, that s not happening. is that a flip flop or is that evolving based on changed circumstances? and how do you tell? the on the record legal panel is here. from the hill bob cusack and political director rick klein. i guess if you don t like the person that s flip flopping, if you like the person that s evolving based on circumstances. that s precisely right. make no mistake this has become a presidential talking point. ending two bitter wars. disappointment of him had of the strategy to have to reverse himself. interestingly strange appearing dels. it not obvious thing where democrats will support and republican also oppose on a policy level. you have a lot of republican support. democrats will have to say they are supporting.
he says isis isn t even the most dangerous threat to the united states right now. that dubious honor belongs in his view to russia. let s talk about this with retired army colonel peter mansour, former aide to general petraeus. odierno says if things don t change in the fight, he thinks the u.s. should consider embedding u.s. troops but he also says that that doesn t mean they would be fighting. what does it mean? these would be combat advisers assisting commanders and crafting plans and arranging low jgistics and calling in air strikes near the front lines. they wouldn t necessarily be trigger pullers but would be in the action and they would be assisting iraqi units. if we embed u.s. troops which obviously barack obama has resisted to this point, does that threaten to also mean the united states then effectively takes over the fight against isis rather than leaving it as
angels which is no small feat. let me tell you. i started working on the biker gangs in 74. he got into the hell s angels. very few got into it. it is a huge scene. what will happen, atf, the state troopers, the waco police, they re going to forensically map it. they re going to photograph and it re-create in it court. the key will be video from the building, from the twin peaks or nearby restaurant so they can see who the trigger pullers are. they have 170 people charged with organized criminal activity related to capital murder. and jay can tell you, the bandidos will roll out high priced attorneys. they will fight this vigorously and it hard to keep it. and don t be surprised if the top echelons are making that million-dollar bail. i would 46th gang members are already consolidating money to get the top ranking bandido lead
does occur they become trigger pullers. that s just the nature of the beast. you re not going to go to any outpost in northern iraq we re being told baghdad is one spot, isn t quite as dangerous as the others, and then northern iraq. you re not going up there and not ready to pull your trigger. absolutely. they won t specify where but i m sure it s going to be probably a little to the east of mosul. they ve got to cut these guys off. if you read between the lines, it looks like they want to come down and cut across mosul and maybe surround these guys and bottle them up. chris, maybe you can weigh in on this, since you ve spent so much time in country, as a s.e.a.l. 8 member, as a contractor. what are they going to be doing, what kind of advising is going to be going on, and is it more intelligence gathering and prepping for air strikes? they ll look at what kind of equipment have they acquired from us, the stuff we left behind that the iraqi army
