Its vanessa williams. Enjoy your holidays with fox friends. Thank you, vanessa. Christmas is just around the corner. We should probably think about putting together a christmas show. We probably should. Thats a good idea. A holiday tradition. Hohoho find out about elf on the shelf and how its polluting your kid. First we want to bring you this fox news alert. A horrific attack on a Pakistani School leaves more than 80 children dead. Now the army says they may be hostages there. The army now working to get taliban hostages out of the building. Peter doocy is live in washington with the latest. Gruesome details coming in. I know there are updates you have for us. Elisabeth, were hearing from officials in pakistan that 84 students have been killed and about that many have been wounded as well. Those numbers are included in the latest Associated Press bulletin along with details about what happened at this school which is run by the Pakistani Military for students in first grade through tenth grade. The assault apparently began in the morning when gunmen associated with the taliban entered the facility and began shooting at random. The Pakistani Military responded with gunfire of their own and there may have been as many as half a dozen gunmen because as the taliban was taking credit for this deadly attack today, their spokesman claimed six suicide bombers participated, and a quote the government is targeting our families and females. We want them to feel the pain. The first account were hearing from inside the school are gruesome. One student says quote then i saw children falling down who were crying and screaming. I also fell down. I later learned that i had got a bullet. All the children had bullet wound. All the children were bleeding. The most recent information we have is that the fire fight between terrorist gunmen and the Pakistani Military is still ongoing as we speak. More trouble ahead. Here we are fighting a situation with isis, still trying to get ahold of what we left in libya where isis is training. Look at the taliban in that picture right there. We have the taliban. Believe it or not the pakistani government called us about six months ago said why dont you help us kill off the taliban in our country. It might go better and they have had a lot of success but this is the response. They wait and kill children. All the children are hurt, all the children are bleeding. When you hear that, you think would this be the time to maybe decrease, lean out our military . Our president s new years resolution now. To brians point, theres trouble all over the world. Is this the time to be drawing down . Yesterday the president was in new jersey at joint base mcgwire dicks lakehurst. He was talking about how were at a turning point. There were 150,000 deployed. At the end of this month there are going to be about 15,000 at such a time of peril. Is it appropriate . The president says yes. Here he is. The time of deploying large Ground Forces with big footprints engaged with nation overseas is coming to an end. Going forward our military will be leaner. As your commander in chief, im going to make sure we keep you ready for the range of missions we ask of you. The president is talking a little bit like Donald Rumsfeld did when he first took over. He wanted a leaner quicker reaction force. When he responded to the challenges in the middle east said ive got to get a little bit bigger and stronger. The times report showed the morale of the military is down to 53 of those who say im happy to be in as opposed to 84 where they were about three years ago. You look at one thing people needed to hear in lakehurst, new jersey, and that was were going to roll on the cutbacks. We never thought the challenge of isis would be this pervasive. We never thought these challenges would be cropping up. We never thought wed have to send a message to iran and to russia. Were here and were not going to be intimidated. When you see three individual beheaded in the course of this year, you look at what just happened in a Pakistani School. You look over your shoulder into australia and see the hostage situation and see isis is ramping up. Is this the time our military should be cut back, leaned back and slimmed down . Let us know what you think on facebook today. Megyn kelly had a great exclusive last night. She talked to James Mitchell. He is a former air force psychologist. He is the guy who interrogated Khalid Sheikh mohammed and abu abu zubaydah. He is the guy who water boarded Khalid Sheikh mohammed. It was great to hear from him. Weve heard its so bad. He was talking about how it actually takes a toll on the interrogators. But he made it very clear that at one point Khalid Sheikh mohammed himself turned to the american and essentially said that we dont know ourselves as well as we should because the media will turn on the good guys. Lirch listen to this. Shows al qaeda and the al qaeda 2. 0 folks isil that were divided and were easy targets, that we dont have the will to defeat them. In fact, Khalid Sheikh mohammed told me personally your country will turn on you. The liberal media will turn on you. The people will grow tired of this. They will turn on you. And when they do, you are going to be abandoned. Mitchell also has a c. I. A. Background. He was asked to do this. At first he said no. Then he said yeah, ill do it. Meanwhile he was discussing whats legal and whats not. When it came to the actual water boarding, he says we practiced. Then i realized they told me i could put a certain amount of water in, he goes i decided to cut that back. When people say we water boarded khalid shake muhammad so many times, he goes. It was five seconds at a time and in order to do it in a more humane way, much like our training with special operations. It is a difficult job for anyone to do. If you want to get into the mind of the motivation and whats necessary to extract this information, take a watch. The 9 11 victims are the reason that im here. When they first asked me if i would be willing to do this, my initial thought was i dont want to do interrogations. Thats not who i am. And i knew for a fact that my life as i had previously designed it would be over, but i know the exact instant that i decided to pony up to this. The exact instant was a person there had asked me if i would do these, and i was hemming and hawing a little bit. Either him or another person said after youve seen all the intel i saw suggesting the second wave was coming and there was going to be a catastrophic attack and all that sort of stuff, if youre not willing to do this, how can we ask somebody else . And that picture of that falling man flashed into my mind. Keep in mind all these guys were doing what they did at that time because they were positive there was another attack about to happen. They heard that theres a possibility of a nuke device, that there was anthrax. They didnt know what it was. They were just trying to stop it from happening. Theres a brandnew Pew Research Poll out shows that a majority of americans feel that what the c. I. A. Did was appropriate. He also said, mitchell said he received threats against his life because the democrats in the senate didnt have the courtesy to let him explain his actions to them. When hes talking about Khalid Sheikh mohammed, remember Khalid Sheikh mohammed went to college here, North Carolina at t. He was a clown. They called him bluto because he was drinking and going crazy like many college kids and he turned on the country. The one guy who did the water boarding, you think they talked to him . No. Never made a phone call. You know who were going to talk to . Ainsley earhardt. Good morning. Another fox news alert. Disturbing details about the muslim extremists who unleashed australias worst lone wolf terror attack. He and two other hostages died in the barrage of gunfire you hear there when police stormed that cafe after the 16hour standoff. We learned the gunman Man Haron Monis had a long rap sheet including 40 Sexual Assault charges and was accused of assisting a woman to kill his exwife.

The alleged gunman among the three killed in the siege. Monis operated as a lone wolf attacker, virtual jihad of one. Now its hard more than 20 people inside the United States tried to join or provide support to terror groups in iraq and syria since the month of march. Lets have the executive director of investigative projects on terrorism. Steve, you look at that. Very sim patco with australia on many issues. Should we be learning from that . We should learning from lone wolf attacks since major knee tall hassan in major nidal hassan in 2007. This is not something new unfortunately. It is a symbol of how terrorism has now become so instantly attainable to anybody. You dont have to be a member of any group. You dont have to be vetted. You dont have to be selected. You can become instantly famous and become a National Symbol around the world and weve had this all over. Its not the 20 people who volunteered to go to syria and iraq. Its the potential hundreds of radicalized muslims in the United States. Were not talking about the majority of muslims. Were talking about a select small percentage. Those that rise above the threshold of willing to carry out a violent attack. And there are scores and scores of them. Were you frustrated at all listening to Prime Minister abbotts description. To anyone else it looks like a terrorist attack with someone tied to isil. He seemed to think this guy is inconsistent and weird. To tell you the truth, i was watching him last night at 12 30. I knew i had to get up at 5 00 a. M. After watching him, i couldnt go to sleep because he refused to utter the term terrorism. He refused to utter the term radicalism. Refused to call this guy islamic terrorist and refused to call isis a terrorist group. He called it a death cult basically exonerated it of any culpability. That is really the problem not just of him but of all western leader, David Cameron and president obama who calls it devoid of any type of religious motivation. Just not true . Absolutely not true. Calling it, you know, radical Islamic Terrorist Group is calling it what it is. When we call Nidal Hassans act an act of Workplace Violence and we dont call what happened over the summer in new jersey an act of jihad which is what happened after they caught a man who killed four people and said im carrying out jihad. These are lone wolf terrorists and they can carry it out with a knife, ax or gun. Steve, always a pleasure. We told you about a new study that shows real men like spice.
