Isis. Thats according to Fox News ContributorMajor General bob scales. Quoting his pentagon sources. He tells us, military leaders plan it to ask the president what is next as the u. S. Ages war on Islamic State terrorist. The Major General will be with me in a moment. U. S. Led air strikes continued today against isis forces. Focusing on the Syrian Border city of kobani which terrorists reportedly have surrounded now on all three sides. Analyst says if the Islamic State takes control of that city, it could be a huge blow to the president s plan to degrade and destroy isis. Earlier today, the pentagon spokesman previewed todays president ial visit which will also include briefings on the deadly virus ebola. Watch. Clearly those two very hot topics will be discussed. I wont i cant speak for the president and what he will or wont decide as a result of the updates hes getting. Were not expecting change to our strategy as a result of todays meetings. Live coverage, greg is near the turkey syria border and well get to him in a moment. Start with ed henry, live at the white house. Is the white house signaling any change in strategy . A lot has happened since then. No change in strategy at all. They are exactly where admiral kirby, white house spokesman josh earnest today, barrage of questions from reporters, whether the strategy is working or not. Can you do this with largely air strikes alone and josh earnest suggested again and again that the strategy is working even though isis continues to gain ground including potentially taking this key city of kobani on the border. But interesting because josh earnest in the next breath said theyre not sure if the u. S. Can push back against isis in kobani, listen. You have seen the u. S. Military carry out air strikes in this region that have degraded the ability of isil to carry out this function. Is this going to stop isil from overrunning kobani, i dont think anybody know. Reporter seems like a contradiction to say the strategy is working but not sure if key cities like kobani will be overrun. The turkish president ear dough again has said hes not sending his own turkish troops in. Miffed at the fact that Vice President biden suggested the turks have been supporting terrorists, allowing foreign fighters to go back and forth the border. Even though there was an apology from the Vice President , josh earnest said they would like to see the turks do a lot more. Back to the way were fighting isis right now. I understand the critics, at least some are saying its time for the president to listen to tweaking that strategy. The chairman of the House Armed Services committee put out a blistering statement and flatly said, the air strikes alone are not degrading isis and he went on to say, while other republicans have talked about leaving the door open for Ground Troops, mckeonen is willing to say he supports Ground Troops and wants the president to do the same, saying, quote, the president needs to adopt a broader strategy if we are to protect our interests. He needs to walk out of the pentagon willing to put new options on the table, rather than continuing to rule them out. Now the white house continues to say the president has ruled out Ground Troops. They dont want to go back to having 150,000 troops on the ground in iraq, for example, but what mckeon is saying you dont need that many. You can send a smaller number of u. S. Troops not entire divisions. All right. Ed, thank you very much. Lets now get the latest on the ground near the turkey syria border. Greg is live for us there as the battle for kobani is happening not too far away. Greg, whats the latest . Yeah. The battle for kobani seems to be in the crucial stages. We spent the day on the turkey syria border and experienced most intense fighting weve seen in the weeks that we have been here. Right in front of us, right on the front edge of this city today, there was a huge blast. Early reports indicate it was a u. S. Air strike. Later others claimed it was an isis suicide car bomb. And a big one targeting kurdish fighters. Just a sign of the dangerous level of fighting here. And while the Kurdish Militia had claimed they were pushing isis back, the sound we heard from the center of the city told another story. Small machine gunfire all day, along with an eerie quiet on the east side of the town that leads some to speculate isis might be making further inroads there. Centcom confirms there were six air strikes against isis targets, all of them outside of the city. Again, as that real fight rages inside. According to one kurdish fighter he is grateful the air strikes are coming, wished they had come earlier. Turkish are still there alongside our position, while some of them were pointing towards cobanry in, others were pointed to turkey itself, a sign of how much this country does not want to get involved. And a sign of trouble here ethnic kurds angry with turkey for not gettinged more involved in dealing with isis in kobani, clashed with Turkish Security in the last 24 hours. 19 killed in the violent protests. Harris, theres problems coming from all sides in this story right now. Back to you. Absolutely. Greg, you have teed it up for us. Thank you very much. I mentioned he would be here, Major General bob scales is a fox news military analyst and Major General, were glad to have y along here. Hi. First i want to get your reaction to greg saying that turkey does not want to get involved. What are your thoughts on that . Well, they dont. I mean, the turks have been literally at war against the kurds both in their own territory and in syria for generations and theres no sympathy on the part of the turks for the plight of the kurds. The kurds in many ways are their ene enemy. You have to balance isis versus kurds and basically its a null set to president like president erdogen and they will stand back and watch thousands of kurds be butchered once the city of kobani falls. Its a tragic outcome. Wont even just be that. What we saw yesterday were the Turkish Military turning gas canisters on these kurds who werent even armed. They were protesting. Worst than just watching them die. Theyre putting them physically in the middle. Lets move on to the president now, meeting with senior military officials inside the pentagon. This is the first time, youve been helping us do our reporting with your sources, the first time the president as you put it is going to hear an earful, like what . The two d words, disrupt versus defeat. The joint chiefs are going to tell the president , mr. President , the air strikes so far have disrupted isis and thats been successful. But your stated goal, sir, is to defeat isis. And so the current course of events of these small air strikes, may disrupt but we will never get to defeat unless we do something different. Then back to the president to make the decision is it going to be a continuation of strategy, as usual which will only continue to disrupt or will he go to a higher level and seek to defeat isis. What you do with a noisy neighbor having a party next door, try to disrupt it. Its a different pro speps i want to put words on the screen spokenen by former president jimmy carter criticizing president obama, gave a recent interview with the fort worth startelegram and says you have to have somebody on the ground to direct our missiles and be sure you have the right targets. Then you have to have somebody to move in and be willing to fight isis after the strikes. Somebody, im not seeing anybody with their hands in the air. Is the president going to learn Ground Troops are the only option at this point . Thats president carter. Holy smokes. I dont know anyone, former secretaries of defense, former ambassadors, active duty and retired military, the whole defense intellectual community, i dont know anyone who will stand up and say that this strategy is working because they know its not, and for president carter to say its not working, is really extraordinary. Look, this is youll never get to defeat, to use the military language, until you put eyes on and some small contingent on the ground to take isis on directly. Its just not going to happen. Major general bob scales thank you for helping us handle those developments. As soon as the meeting happens we may bring you back. We dont know whats going to be said but were getting an idea from you. Thanks. Breaking now, word of another possible ebola infection in texas. A patient who claims to have had direct contact with the patient who died this morning is reportedly showing symptoms of the disease. The details just coming in. Well take you live to dallas for that. Stay close. Breaking news. The pastor of the texas ebola victims girlfriend is talking to the media and telling the heartbreaking story of how and her children learned of his death. All right. This is a live picture, obviously, and sometimes satellites freeze up. If that picture starts moving, satellite starts working well take you back there. Were good . I have spoken with louise. Judge jenkins and i went to deliver the news to her this morning, along with the boys, and it was important to us that we be able to do so before the news hit the public. It was a painful and difficult time for her. She reacted as almost anyone would, with great shock and despair. She expressed that in her own personal way with great emotion. Everyone receives news like this differently in terms of the way they react to it. She was quite emotional in her expression of sadness, but she soon recovered and was able to think clearly and begin to help us to prepare a statement for you which i think be you have probably received. How are the children . The three boys are less visibly emotional, but equally stunned by the news. As you might imagine, because of their being in quarantine and thus their having been determined to have been exposed, their thoughts not only go to the shock and sadness of losing mr. Duncan, but also whether this will be the course that their life will take next. We were able, of course, to assure them that because they are being so closely monitored, that at the very first sign of illness, if such a thing were to happen, they would be immediately taken care of and because the timing would be so much quicker, there would be opportunity for them, for their chances to be improved in terms of getting well. But mostly all right. We are watching now brand new video as it was coming in from a News Conference held by the pastor of the girlfriend of the man who just died who was visiting here from liberia. He had been here a few days, came down with the ebola virus, wept to the hospital. Fast forward, he passed away this morning. You heard the pastor there saying some really important facts about that family. And can you imagine how theyre feeling now, in isolation, as they are now being watched to see if theyll show any signs of the deadly virus. And now this breaking news nugget as well. Officials in frisco, texas, thats about a half hour drive north of dallas, say a second person with ebolalike symptoms claims to have had direct contact with the man i was talking about who passed away, thomas eric duncan. The cdc says there are people on the ground in texas, have no information on this. They are monitoring all of duncans significant contacts. Of course duncan was the very first person ever diagnosed with ebola in the u. S. Again, he died this morning. Frisco officials are saying this is not a new confirmed ebola case. And its not clear whether the person really did have contact with duncan. They say paramedics are transporting that patient. The Fire Department is set to hold a News Conference in a little more than an hour. If it happens sooner well bring it live. Duncan died this morning at the hospital in dallas. He had been in isolation since late last month. Over the weekend doctors said his condition had gotten worse, downgraded him from serious to critical. He traveled from liberia to the u. S. Three weeks ago. He went to the hospital on his own, told them details about his travel but the doctors gave him antibiotics and sent him back home. He got worse. A few days later, duncan went back to the hospital, this time in an ambulance. Doctors put him in isolation. Health officials are saying that they are monitoring nearly 50 people who had direct contact with him, including ten who are considered higher risk. Its not clear if this case weve been telling you about in frisco is one of those ten people. Four people who were living in the apartment with duncan suffered where he was suffering for days are in quarantine. Officials are saying they will cremate duncans body. There was question about that earlier before we went live here. Casey steagall is live with the news in dallas. A lot to get to now. Yeah. Harris, really, were getting into this reaction from the family because that is new. That is the headline as we speak to you at this hour. Its so tragic because this mans partner was not even able to visit him at all in the hospital because louise troh as you were saying was immediately put into quarantine with three other of her family members, once the Health Officials on the ground here in texas knew what was going on and they knew that we had a case of ebola on our hands. Theyd been staying in that cramped, dallas apartment complex n that tiny unit for days with mr. Duncan as he started developing the symptoms, a high fever, bleeding from the eyes, vomiting. So they are considered very high risk exposure at this point. Louise did release a statement. You heard her pastor talking about their spirits, but she actually released a statement from quarantine. We want to put that up on the screen for you. It reads in part, i hope that you will keep my family in your prayers. This has dramatically changed our lives and we will be grieving for a long time. May eric rest in peace. The cdc says if a person gets ebola and dies, that happens within a six to 16day window. Again, mr. Douone duncan got si on september 24th, today would have been day 14. Harris . Okay. A couple things to get here. You know, im curious, youre laying out the timeline for them but what about the other people theyre watching . Well, remember, from all of the doctors that we have had on our air and have been in the newspapers since this all broke here in texas, everyone has pointed out that ebola is not contagious, until a patient starts to show symptoms. So remember, i talked about september 24th. A little difficult to keep straight, but he got sick on september the 24th. That is when he started showing symptoms. That means that is when, by all accounts, he would have become contagious, four days after arriving in texas it. So the World Health Organization says the maximum incubation period for the disease is 21 days. That means, we are on day 14 right now. So the family has another week to go before they would be completely out of the woods. It has to be terrifying and you heard the pastor talking about that for them, harris. Theyve learned the fate of their loved one and now they sit there, behind a locked door, wondering if they could face the same fate one day. You know, not to play too much of the devils advocate here, but this man lied on his travel documents to get into this country, all we can do is hope and pray hes telling the truth about when he really felt sick that very first day, because thats when the clock would start to tick. Lets hope he was right about that. That family has a long enough wait as it is. The feds say most travelers who arrive in the United States from west africa will have to get their temperatures taken before they can leave the airport now. Details on how the government is going to ramp up security at entry points. The pentagons plans to send more u. S. Marines to west africa still ahead. Here i am. Rock you like a hurricane. Fiber one now makes cookies. Find them in the cookie aisle. So i can reach ally bank 24 7, but there are24 7branches . Its just im a little reluctant to try new things. Whats wrong with trying new things . Feel that in your muscles . Yeah. I do. Try a new way to bank, where no branches equals great rates. Breaking news this hour. Weve been telling you about a situation in dallas. We had Casey Steagall join us. I want to bring him back because weve lost one person to ebola in dallas today and now getting word north of dallas in an area called frisco that theyre looking at someone who possibly could have some symptoms of ebola. But that has not been confirmed as a second case. So casey, i requested and im glad you came back. A couple questions now. Because what youre telling me is, that this person died in this building, that his girlfriend and her three children, three relatives, are now still in quarantine, my question now is, what happens to everybody else in that Apartment Building . Well, everyone else in that Apartment Building is staying in place. I mean, they were never removed, they didnt shut down the apartment complex or anything like that. They were isolated to that one particular unit and as you know, hazmat crews went in there and pulled everything out and decontaminated it. They scrubbed it down. And then that is the time that those four family members were taken to an undisclosed clolaticl location. They were moved out of the apartment complex altogether and they are staying in this private home that was donated, by the way, and they are said to be in a gated area away from other houses and other Apartment Buildings, other apartment complexes. But we were just out at that apartment complex yesterday and, you know, youre out there and its business as usual. People are walking around, you know. Its a rather large complex. Lots of tenants and the like. So, you know, you go out there, we were just out there 24 hours ago, and you wouldnt be able to really tell by just standing there and looking at the activity that this had all been going on there. The reason i press with that question, and again i mean, we just want the facts, we dont want to drive fear here, im looking at the situation where you say hazmat crews, cleaning crews went in, it was days before they went in. Days. And we know that family sat in all of that infected the sheets, towels, everything else, we saw from news helicopters above, a m
