they can t get that they want a show trial. they want drama. who doesn t? sandra: appreciate it from our a-team. what a few minutes there. eric: imagine the white house meeting when they go up to talk to the president in 45 minutes. fox news alert. for the second time in two days russian bombers and fighter jets flew near alaska. they had to scramble two airplanes from the u.s. to intercept them. we stand by at the pentagon. the u.s. military isn t saying how close the russian bombers came to the coast of alaska. only saying they flew in international airspace. it scrambled advance fighter jets to intercept the russian formations. on monday four nuclear capable russian bombers flew near alaska. they escorted the bombers. tuesday another russian formation approached just a pair of bombers approaching alaska forcing the air force to
isis. if the u.s. military isn t in there, are they going to get slaughtered? you know, that concern was raised today certainly with the vice president here on capitol hill and that is a big concern that many of us have. so, yes, the policy implication of this move are legion and certainly the way that the president has gone about this just leaves us all scratching our head. senator kuhns, i can t tell you, i ve got an lot of reaction that asks the question of, you can t help but wonder considering who the major players are in this issue, that the president s ties to russia the president s ties to saudi arabia, suddenly are popping up here? i m gravely concerned by this abrupt decision. do i think it will lead to a lot of loss of life on the ground. and i think it raises the question, the kurds who have fought so bravely and so hard alongside american troops to take on isis and to drive isis out of a whole region of syria,
