Unfortunately, this is a situation iceis that we were caught really with our pants down not knowing enough about them, not having enough information about them. This is something that we have to take extremely seriously and then of course the call from iceis to, for people to go act on their own, thats very, very difficult to detect, because youre not going to get communications that you can intercept. Youre not going to have informants that are going to get you the information. Youre just igniting all these people who are selfproclaimed jihadists to do whatever crazy thing they want to do. An official from the National Counterterrorism center estimates 15,000 militants from 80 Different Countries tried to join isis with at least 100 from the office.

This as we find out the man that made it into the executive mansion his car was full of ammunition and weapons. Reporter what was 42yearold Omar Gonzalez doing friday when he allegedly charged the white house with a knife . Its a question made more disturbing with the discovery of 800 rounds of ammunition, a machete and two hatchets in his car, according to federal prosecutors. President obama and his family had just left the white house for camp david when gonzalez jumped a fence and made it inside a door at the white house. Back at the white house monday, the president with words of support for the secret service. The secret service does a great job, thank you. And im grateful for the sacrifices they make on my behalf and my families behalf. Reporter in court, federal prosecutors said this u. S. Remember ai yet van was arrested over the summer on weapons charges in virginia.

Few weeks ago he was stopped walking near the white house with a hatchet in his rear waistband. He was not arrested.

The secret service has the challenging task of balancing the need to ensure the safety and security of the first family while also ensuring that the white house continues to be the peoples house, and balancing those equities is challenging work, but its clear that in this case a review of that work is warranted and that review will be conducted. One of the first big security changes made by the secret service . Locking the front door of the white house. Youd think that would be a given. Oh, well. The time is 18 after the top of the hour. The u. S. Led strikes in syria including bombers, drones and missiles launched from ships in the red sea and the persian gulf. And what happens next in the operation . A retired Naval Intelligence officer with 23 years of active duty will join us next. More now on our top story. The u. S. And a coalition of five arab allies leading air strikes in syria, using bombers and drones and missiles launched from ships in the red sea and the persian gulf. So what happens next in the operation . Retired Naval Intelligence officer with 23 years of active duty is here joining us now is frank wucho, ceo of red mine solutions. Thank you for joining us. Thank you, good morning. It has been 12 days since the president announced that there would be air strikes over syria. What happens next at this point . Well, i think you can expect from the isis point that theyre going to hunker down. Theyre going to go to ground especially in Eastern Syria and in iraq. Theyre going to stand by. Theyve been through this before, so they know what to expect when american air strikes come. On the other hand, i will tell you that the people who are on the ground where the air strikes have occurred are feeling a real sense of shock right now. There is nothing to compare with dozens and dozens of 2,000pound, 1,000pound bombs going off for hours on end. So there is some fear setting in now. Frank, we were talking to another guest earlier and he said weakening isis is only going to strengthen other groups like al qaeda. Will these be effective, these air strikes . Theyll be effective in the short term, where theyre occurring. Lot of damage has been done. Like i said theres nothing that can compare with the amount of explosive fire power theyre seeing up close and personal now, something theyve never seen before. But again, if it doesnt strengthen other groups, it will, indeed, strengthen isis ability to recruit especially if they dont sustain the operations in the longrm frank, do you think in the 12 days where we said there would be air strikes and when they began, which is last night, that isis had time to move some of their weapons and go into hiding . Do you think that we really are hitting targets that will make a difference and then do we need to go in with boots on the ground in order to do that . I think as isis continues to move east through iraq, the only way to stop that is with boots on the ground. The argument is whether its our boots on the ground or somebody elses boots on the ground. It could be members of the Arab Coalition partners and if they keep moving eastward iran, we could see the iranians get involved there. These groups have been through this before and theyll generally wait out the initial wave of air strikes, then theyll get to work. Frank, thank you so much for being with us this morning. Youre right, the advantage of having boots on the ground, the infancy can call in the air strikes. Thanks for being with us. Thank you. The time now is 25 after the top of the hour and coming up, syrian president Bashar Al Assad already waging a civil war against opponents of his regime. So how will he respond to the u. S. Led air strike . Well have a live report from the region. And missing Afghan Soldiers, in the u. S. For a training program, found at the Canadian Border. So what were they trying to do . Those details straight ahead. It is tuesday, september 23rd, a fox news alert, breaking overnight, the u. S. Stepping up its fight against isis, launching air strikes in syria. More on the military operation and the Historic Coalition of forces from the middle east now assisting in those efforts. And welcome back to an Early Edition of fox friends first. Lets get right to the fox news alert. Overnight the u. S. And arabb allies launching air strikes in syria against the brutal isis militants. The air strikes targeting isis command. Peter ducey is live in washington with the breakdown. The Islamic State says their capital is in the northern syrian town of raka where the first explosions were reported shortly after 8 30 eastern time last night with isis command and control centers, Training Camps and weapons depots all in the crosshairs of tomahawk missiles as well as ordnances dropped by predator drones, b1 bombers, f16 and f18 fighters and for the First Time Ever in combat the f22 raptor, stealth raptor. Release from centcom in the last hour lists 14 targets damaged by the missiles. The United States is not alone in this air assault that lasted several hours. Four arab partners also flew over searia, the United Arab Emirates, saudi arabia, jordan and bahrain. Fifth arab partner, qatar, contributed in some ways, just not with help in the air. Were told the decision to strike overnight was made early monday by a commander at centcom who is authorized to do so by the president. President owe baja has been receiving regular updates overnight and the president dialed capitol hill to fill in the speaker of the house, john boehner and House Minority leader nancy pelosi with details about this operation and officials with syrian president Bashar Al Assads government say they also got a heads up about these isis strikes before they started from someone in washington, according to an ap wire that crossed in the last few hours. There should be more details on that soon. Also one additional note at the end of the centcom release we received last hour theres a separate note about eight strikes in syria west of aleppo against korazan group an al qaeda offshoot apparently to disrupt what the u. S. Military calls eminent plotting against the United States. Back to you in new york. Thank you, peter. Fighting to destroy the terror group an historic alliance, five arab nations now joining forces with the United States. Kelly wright is here with the details of this Historic Coalition. Good morning to you. President obama has been trying to put an arab face on this mission. Hes done it and being applauded for it. The attacks on isis in raka, syria and other parts of syria are not from americans alone. The air strikes are from a coalition of arab nations working side by side with the United States military to destroy isis. Saudi arabia, United Arab Emirates, bahrain, jordan and qatar are involved in this campaign against isis. They a moderate sunni nations according to their description that are joining the fight against the sunni extremists of isis. General jack keane adds its a significant steps towards defeating isis. Its very significant that we have four arab muslim countries, all sunnibased countries attacking a sunnibased terrorist organization, and that did not come easy. Many of these were urged in the United States to do something about assad before but now this is isis, so it is significant in my judgment. Qatar not attacking, qatar i think has problems because theyve been aiding isis financially from the beginning, and they also aid hamas, and ive always felt we have to do something about this country. Maybe this is an indication that theyre willing to change their stripes. Could be but he says he doubts it and the United States should continue to look at qatar. Former assistant secretary of state p. J. Crowley says the coalition is starting to move and we need meaningful action of both sides in iraq and syria. Thank you, kelly. The Obama Administration giving syria ample warning before launching those air strikes but the question now is, how will president Bashar Al Assad respond to that . And for that answer well turn now to john huddy live in jerusalem. Reporter its a great question if president assad will spo respond. He hasnt spoke in several months and the last time he spoke was in july and had nothing to do with the fighting in particular against rebel factions, antigovernment factions battling syrias government. Whether we hear from him or not, thats the question. We do know that the United States told syrias u. N. Envoy that the strikes were going to happen, and in fact, Syrias Foreign Ministry issued a statement, take a look, saying the american side informed syrias permanent envoy to the u. N. That strikes will be launched against the Daesh Terrorist Organization in raqqa. Daesh is an arabic term for isis. The city of raqqa is isis itself declared capital. Theres been heavy fighting between syria and isis in the past few weeks as weve been reporting. When president obama told the nation 12 days ago that the strikes would happen in syria, syrian officials said without its governments consent it would be considered an act of aggression. Whether syria and the syria envoy gave its consent at the u. N. Remains unclear. Syrias deputy Prime Minister, by the way, is in new york for the u. N. General assembly and is scheduled to speak on sunday followed by israeli Prime MinisterBenjamin Netanyahu and coincidentally today israel shot down a syrian fighter jet that apparently strayed into israeli air space. As i mentioned at the top, syria has been battling antigovernment rebel forces to the south along the israel syrian border, and along with while fighting isis to the north so its, it has fights on several fronts at this point. It doesnt look like that fighter being shot down over israeli air space has anything to do with the u. S. Air strikes. This, of course, as were waiting for any response from president Bashar Al Assad. As i said we havent heard as i said we havent heard couple months. Last time he spoke was in july and had nothing to do with the fighter. Thank you, john huddy reporting live for us. For more on the impact of the air strikes we go to florida congressman and Fox News ContributorLieutenant Colonel allen west. Good morning. How are you doing . Im good. The president said the goal is to degrade and ultimately destroy isil. Will the air strikes which began just after 8 30 last night be enough to accomplish that goal . Well, its a start, and when you look at what is happening now, this would be the phase one of an air campaign to degrade certain selected capabilities of isis, so i would look at their command and control being degraded, their logistical resupport capability and ammunition stocks being degraded as well as some of their training bases, because we know that they are recruiting young jihadi warriors from across the world so we want to take that away from them. So thats an initial start but we have to see this as whether its going to be a dedicated air campaign or just the selected strikes. 20 to 25 stikrikes is a good stt but a serious air campaign youre talking 100 to 150 a day. What about these five arab nations, this Historic Coalition that weve put together. How significant is that and how will that assist us in our goal . Well, when you talk about Historic Coalition, i was a young captain back in 19 the 1 in operation desert shield, desert storm. We had Ground Forces from syria, from egypt and the Deputy Commanding general the second to Norman Schwarzkopf was a Saudi Arabian general. Weve been there before. George h. W. Bush set that paradigm. Im happy to see these countries step up to the plate. We know that the uae in conjunction with egypt has been flying strikes against islamist rebel forces in libya so they have engaged but to have the other air forces joining in is a key aspect, i applaud the president for that. We need to know we have their sustained commitment and also id like to see them be a part of a ground commitment. As far as qatar im still suspect about qatar because the head of hamas resides in qatar. They have providing ample Financial Resources support to isis and other islamic terrorist groups, although we do have al eudid airbase outside of doha. Do you think we should have taken action earlier . Well, absolutely. I think that this has been a cancer that has me ttasthesized back in january when they crossed into al an bar province, isis was 1,5 thoun 2,000 fighters. Now theyve grown to cia estimates 31,500 and weve got to cut off their ability to recruit and the flow of these fighters coming in probably from turkey. Thats an important part. I think now t
