Carried out against isil leaders. its consistent with our broader, with the broader military component of our counter-isil strategy to apply significant pressure to isil leaders and that has yielded in some cases important intelligence that can be exploited. it also serves the purpose of ensuring that those isil leaders are devoting a significant amount of their time to their own security. and that is less time that they can devote to ensuring that their operation can run successfully and that f...

Gaining strength. what is true is that from the star our goal has been first to contain and we have contained them. they have not gained ground in iraq and in syria, theyll come in, theyll leave, but you dont see the systematic march by isil across the terrain. >> isil or isis has been contained? im joined by ryan crocker, former ambassador to syria and iraq and lebanon, among other countries. hes now dean and executive professor at the george bush school of government and public service at texa...

By it? >> let me put it this way. i expect that kind of thing. and corporal clinton. hillary clinton sets off a new round of fact checking about her repeated claim she once tried to enlist in the marines. >> and i said well, im 26, ill be 27. he goes well, thats kind of old for us. and then he says to me, and this -- he says to me maybe the dogs will take you, meaning the army. good day. im andrea mitchell in new york. a drone strike overnight in raqqa, syria, targeted the isis executioner k...

Concerned, jihadi john was an isis celebrity. they use the term isil for isis. they called him an isil celebrity, although they also back up what ayman was saying, saying hes not considered by them to be a major tactical figure but clearly they thought it was important enough to continue to pursue him over a matter of a year, as you mentioned, there were three reaper mq-9 drones involved, one british, two american. i was apparently the american drone that fired the missile that we think killed h...

Made him a threat not just to the region but to countries around the world, and i would just note that this air strike that has gotten understandably a fair amount of attention here in this country is consistent with a number of other operations that the united states military has carried out inside of syria against leading isil figures. earlier this summer, we noted that an isil senior leader described as some people as the number two in isil, was killed in a coalition air strike in iraq. there...

With their airline credit card miles. sometimes those seats cost a ridiculous number of miles... or theres a fee to use them. i know. its so frustrating. theyd be a lot happier with the capital one venture card. and you would, too! why? its so easy with venture. you earn unlimited double miles on every purchase, every day. just book any flight you want then use your miles to cover the cost. now, thats more like it. whats in your wallet? right now at the white house, the president meeting with ...

Very public face and voice of isis. it isnt going to alter the situation i dont think appreciably in terms of the tactical or strategic level but nonetheless, it sends a message, you take the lives of americans, we are going to come after you. we will be patient, we will be methodical but we will get you. >> i appreciate your putting it in that context because operationally, you still have isis being able to take down a civilian plane, presumably, according to all the intelligence that i have be...

Of isis. the u.s. is now quote/unquote reasonably certain an overnight air strike in syria killed the isis executioner mohammed emwazi also known as jihadi john. >> still little early but we are reasonably certain that we killed the target that we intended to kill which is jihadi john. it will take some time as it always does to be able to finally formally declare we know that we have had success. >> emwazi was the masked isis executioner believed to be responsible for beheading james foley, ste...

Important is this if in fact they did get jihadi john? >> reporter: well, i think theres going to be a long-terminals along-term analysis. in the short term, this is a symbolic strike because this is an individual certainly known to the western world, he has become the face, if you will, or certainly the voice of isis given the fact he appeared with a mask in all the videos of those executions. he certainly was an individual who was used for propaganda purposes for isis in terms of recruiting in...
