When we look at that level of coordination, the type of weapons that they had, the number of people who appear to have been involved here, the only thing that says to me as a lay observer is that this isnt a coffee klatch, this isnt a casual group of people, this is a group of people that must have at least trained among themselves if not gotten trained by somebody whos got military tactical experience. does it say anything to you about which kind of group might have been involved? >> look, this...

Extremism. paris remains a city of light. no terrorist attack will dim the spirit of the french people or a common commitment to the democratic values we share. ted cruz, senator from texas and obviously a candidate for the republican nomination issuing this statement. we need to immediately declare a halt to any plans to bring refugees that may have been infiltrated by isis to the united states. we need to redouble our effort to prevent isis agents from penetrating our nation by other means. re...

U.k. officials said that its a possibility. islamic state and the sinai say they took the plane down, they have a history of making exaggerated claims and russian officials have been denying. for the time being we should wait for the investigation and work with egyptian partners before we jump to conclusions but it does raise a couple points. one, vladimir put seasin is a f spy. he wants his control at home to continue to get more support for his policies abroad. there is no doubt about that. tw...
