Well see you next Fox News Sunday. Fox urgent, president obama is set to sell the nation his plan for dealing with the brutal savages of that al qaeda spinoff Al Qaeda Group isis. Hes scheduled to meeting with congressional leaders on tuesday, were told, and then that National Address on wednesday. A Senior Administration official is telling fox news the president is likely to lay out where we stand against isis right now and what the next steps are, quote, in the months ahead. Will it be the socalled strategy that the president said he did not have a week ago . This may be a shift in communication from the president after whats been really a series of mixed messages on isis, from no strategy to saying the terror group could be managed, to say isis cannot be
contained and must be dismantled. The man who challenged the president in 2012, governor mitt romney is saying he would have done a better job than president obama at this point. In a one on one exclusive interview with Chris Wallace on Fox News Sunday governor romney said president obama is disconnected on a wide range of problems. I think the president is really out of touch with reality when it comes to whats happening in the world. I dont know why that is. Perhaps its political policy, its Foreign Policy views, but he looked at russia, and thought that was a friend we should reset relationship. We look at al qaeda and said theyre on the run. More recently he looked at isis and said theyre just the junior varsity. He looks at iraq and says theyre strong and able to care for themselves. Leland vitter has the news in washington tonight. This feels a Little Family like the sunday shows are bringing back romney versus obama, the debate there, especially overForeign Policy. Deja vu all over against, harry, but this time a more reflective obama than we have in the past. Certainly the president s tone has changed about isis, contrasted from when he referred to them as the jv team. Still, though, he stopped short of sounding the alarm bells too loudly. I want everybody to understand we have not seen any immediate intelligence about threats to the homeland from isil. The president was, i dont know, too buddy on the golf course to pick up the phone and meet with leaders and say what happens if . Apparently the president wasnt, hasnt developed a strategy. Remember two years ago president obama mocked then candidate mitt romneys Foreign Policy views saying the 1980s called and wanted them back. Romney appeared to feel vindicated especially when it came to the rise of russia and
isis. He hit in an interesting unusual moment, president obama regret what many say is the best evidence of his detachment, playing golf on his vacation, shortly after a speech about the beheading. After the statement that i made, that, you know, i should have anticipated the optics. You know, thats part of the job. Theres no question in my mind that i think i would have been a better president than barack obama has been. No question in my mind about that. There are other good people who im sure will be able to lead the country in the future. I wish it were me. Romney didnt hold any punches. He also said that he thought that voters had buyers remorse. In the end, of course, one has to look at the optics of the interviews themselves president obama was in the white house, romney joined Chris Wallace from salt lake city. Thats a very good point. I point this out, too, so Ronald Reagan on his third try made it to the white house. I was reeling some of the blogs
online, some of the news writing saying could governor romney be eyeing that third try as possibly his victory. You know, addressing the possibility of a third run for the white house, did they talk about that . Chris wallace asked him in every way possible. You always look for a shermanesque is statement, named after the great civil war general often quoted as saying by many if nominated i will not run. If elected, i will not serve. Despite being at the very top of the latest poll in iowa, romney said, quote, im not running, im not planning on running. Harris . Thats semantically slightly different. Leland vitter, good to see you. And this is new. U. S. Operations with regard to that are moving our people closer to the syrian border
where isis obviously has been operating all along. Defense secretary chuck hagel says securing the haditha dam is crucial. If that dam falls into isils hands or that dam would be destroyed, the damage that would cause would be very significant, and it would put a significant additional and big risk into the mix in iraq. Dom any is live from our west coast newsroom. What did these air strikes involve today . It was four separate air strikes, harris, on key positions on towns close to haditha dam that have been overtaken by isis. The americans very concerned that if those isis fighters were to take control of the dam, they could even open the slew gates or blow the dam up, sending a
catastrophic is flood down to baghdad. It isnt anything different from what the president has said in his guidance to the military and what our parameterer, protect the interests of americans and the infrastructure that would protect americans. One more important aspect of the strikes today, they have not spread west into the province of anbar, which has lot been a hotbed of islamic activity harris . From last week, we learned that the president had been able to put the Core Coalition of about ten countries not about ten so far. Missing from that group were any of our middle eastern partners. So broughtening the area of u. S. Air strikes, what response is that getting from some of the arab world tonight . You know what . Its very telling how mute they are. One of the reasons for this is the fact that when america gets involved, its usually assisting one side of the widespread sectarian war thats going on, so you would think the saudis would pipe in and Say Something at a point like this. We havent heard from them. Together with the jordanians, both these countries do have airpower that could help us fight isis, yet they have not been forth coming. It has to be said, yes, youre right, when you look at the coalition i have nato countries that obama has put together middle Eastern Countries are conspicuously absent. Turkey is a nato member and it is threatened by isis. The fact that all nato members are not on board, i find that pretty disturbing. And so it seems to appear that middle Eastern Countries yet again relying on america and
its allies to solve the crisis. Its been nearly two years since the benghazi terror attack which i killed four americans, am bass do chris stevens, shawn smith and former navy s. E. A. L. S, now fox news uncovers the smoking gun of benghazi for the very first time. Hear from the men who were there that night fighting the terrorists. I ended up on top of the command centering in building c. More cars come by. What happens then . We dont know what theyre doing. We didnt know if they were still trying to probe. Theres a guy with a cell phone. He just walked up, and walked back. Maybe he was getting gps coordinates. I eerie, i want to shoot him, but is he just some guy taking a walk. Weird things are still
happening. Its a viv vetting hour, dont miss it. The inside store tonight at 8 00 p. M. Eastern and then at 11 00 p. M. Eastern. Well have much more on this topic with the fox news political insiders. Now to russia and the threat of marching across the border and invading ukraine. A ceasefire is already in jeopardy. A fresh round of shelling destroyed several homes near donetsk. And a civilian killed, all raising new fear that the ceasefire is on the verge of collapsing. New reaction from washington peter ducey has more. Peter doocy has more. Now lawmakers are warning that moscow isnt going to change their posture unless the ukrainance have bigger guns. In the highs of the committee chairman, thats where we come in. I dont think until nato and the United States leads and actually arms ukraine with lethal weapons are you going to be putin really backing off. Reporter so far the United States has given ukraine about 70 million in nonlethal aid. In europe president obama promised that more is on the way. All 128 nato allies will now provide Security Assistance to ukraine. This includes nonlethal support for the Ukrainian Military like body armor, fuel and medical care for Wounded Ukrainian troops. Robert menendez wants the United States to send weapons to the ukraine like many of his republican colleagues, but he also wants to see harsh are
diplomatic measures used against the russians. We have to take putins calculations and show him hes wrong, which means that the sanctioning being considered beyond what we have done by both the eu and the United States should take place and move forward. Reporter as we wait to see if this ceasefire officially holds, remember there was a similar agreement in june that broke down after ten days. Harris . Peter, thank you.

I will continued. Washington lawmakers are now weighing in on president obamas decision to delay executive action on illegal immigration until after the midterm elections. The move is being criticized by republicans and democrats, with some accusing the president of playing politics with an Important National issue, the white house is defending the decision, claiming the delay is the result of all those Young Children illegally gaining access to our country, and the political fighting surrounding the waves of those kids crossing our southern border. Elizabeth, im curious for know what Immigration Reform advocating have to say about this. Theyre expressing outrage, betrayal. The president s biggest advocates thought reform was a done deal. He pledged to act before summers end, saying he has no choice with a nag instant congress, even some on the right saying the recent decision is purely politically motivated. I think its political in the sense he understands how unpopular that decision would be with americans. Its protect it southbound and would not be the right decision for him to do that. I hope he doesnt do it after the election. Administration Officials Say the president will wait until after november mid terms, but before the end of the year. So for those who are crying politics on this, which is something they like to do inside washington, what is the white house saying. The president denies making the decision based on red states
fearinged midterm election. Which explains why Many Democrats have been distancing themselves from washington in the past few months. The president , however, did say politics is involved in his decision because of the influx of undocumented children flooding the border over the summer, it skewed peoples perceptions forcing them to act emotionally rather than rationally. The truth of the matter is that the politics did shift midsummer because of that problem. I want to spend some time, even as were getting or ducks in the row for the executive action, i want to make sure that the public understands why its the right thing for the American People, why its the right thing for the american economy. But critics argue that it could allow millions to stay here without work permits. Good to see you, elizabeth. As we approach 13 years since the 9 11 attacks, a Small Community is pausing to remember the lives lost that day. Ready, aim, fire. The town of east lake, ohio marking the day that changed america forever. Senior correspondent rick lev lefbthal feeling it, but for a different or specific reason there. Reporter its interesting, there really is no direct connection between east lake and 9 11 and ground zero except for the stars and stripes. This way a day that changed all of america, including this community, which is about 500 miles from new york city, but they thought it was critically important to remember 9 11 and the 3,000 people who lost their lives that day. Every year here in east lake on the sunday before 9 11, the town hold a ceremony with remarks from the mayor, police, fire
chief, theres song and prayer, a rifle salute and taps to honor the fallen units i think it affected east lake like everywhere else. I remember the day of the tragedy. The first year my daughter went back to college, trying to contact her. None of the cell phones were working. I think that everyone that day is like the day stood still. Well, the mayor says that that day brought our small cities together and our nation together, and this is evidence of that, harris. And east lake is one of hundreds of mean that have similar ceremonies every year, correct . Reporter right its a compelling rye minder how 9 11 affected everyone, whether or not they had a or at the pentagon, or on one of those planes. According to the Port Authority of new york and new jersey, which owns and manages the 16acre World Trade Center site, they are roughly 140
