Why the president -- why we needed to be in syria forever ad to fix up afghanistan after 19 years by staying there another 19 years. john bolton might have his own agenda and probably he defines the leaks different from you and i do. it wouldnt surprise me that hes part of this. >> laura: as of today, president trump seemed to walk back his syria withdrawal plan ever so slightly, saying -- as united states forces have defeated isiss physical caliphate, troops will now redeploy and remain in the ...

Claimed they were the least important ones and did not concede that part about them being the least dangerous. and the signals the presidents sending both in public and apparently inside this meeting today versus the signals his administration is sending, theres some differences there. >> yeah, you might say. on the question of the escaped isis fighters this is really potentially a pretty big problem for the president going forward on top of a number that he already has related to the syria, tur...

Granted. detention facilities perilously held by a syrian-kurdish force with a lot on their plate. will isis find the gap to re-create a caliphate for itself? thats the key question. thats the lasting damage of this legacy here. and that, too, of civilians in syria, that once again see the territory and the powers around them changing. >> a second life for isis. nick paton walsh, thanks for that. well be right back. my insurance rates are probably gonna double.

Ill just take care of it. certainly the people who voted for him. if you spend any time either covering the white house or working in the white house, you understand just how delicate all of this is and how easy it is for things to go sideways in a really tragic way. >> its understandable people would say what are we doing in the series if isis is going to defeat it 100%, the caliphate is gone though clearly theres thousands of isis fighters in a prison. it has effects. if we betrayed the kurds ...

Burden on the turkish economy, doing well in 2012, when this all began. we have, inside the country, a massive humanitarian crisis. the syrian regime moving fast into areas that once the areas had free reign, along with the allies, the syrian kurds. more troublingly, the turkish proxies, the syrian rebels doing a lot of fighting for them. these are not always the friendliest of guys, the civilians, coming from the opposite side. someone said, the reason the u.s. was there in the first place, don...

Light to turkey to invade syria. >> okay. did not give a green light. go to the official white house statement which i believe okay. here we go statement from the president, united states armed forces will not support or be involved in the operation united states forces have to defeat the caliphate and no longer will be in the immediate area. hmm. if not directly contradictory, certainly not incoordination. now, do another one, brooke. here is mike pence talking about whether erdogan, head of tu...

To begin with if isis is allegedly defeated 100%, which the caliphate is gone as the president has continued to say, though clearly theres thousands of isis fighters still there in a prison. but it also has ripple effects in terms of other of our allies now wondering, well, i mean if we betrayed the kurds who lost 10,000 lives, who wont we? >> and theyve seen this president basically coddle dictators and coddle strongmen and not do the same with our allies. i mean that is part of this president,...

U.s. sees -- turkish made the attack into is syrian zone at higher speed and greater distance than anticipated. the u.s. has had to pull out in an expedited fashion. what that does is really allows us to not have situational people on the ground. hard for us to see whats happening and it causes two things. first it has caused the syrian democratic forces to rush into the russian-backed syrian regime hands and it is frankly going to push those isis prisoners out. i think. thats a very delicate si...

Erdogans game plan. it is well into northeast syria and has plans and troops on the ground and sangss will take a long -- sanctions will take a long time to put in place. >> if you see the announcement the u.s. is pulling out following his phone conversation with president erdogan, that statement was pretty bland saying the united states will not support or be involved in the operation of the united states forces having defeated the isis territorial caliphate will no longer be in the immediate a...

Fighters were, that turkey would go into that area in order to cleanse the kurdish population. his advisers knew that, members of congress knew that. no one is surprised to see what turkey is doing. should we react to what theyre doing in a negative way? absolutely, but make no mistake about it. the president set up the climate for turkey to be able to do this. and that has to be reversed, and thats why i hope congress will take action. >> on october 6th after the presidents phone conversation w...
