And mosul in reports going back to last january. Then ten days ago the world watched in horror as this group beheaded american journalist james foley. And threatened to decapitate another american hostage in its custody. Here is defense secretary chuck hagel just 48 hours later. Isil is a sophisticated and wellfunded as any group that we have seen. Theyre beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology, a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess, they are tremendously wellfunded. This is beyond anything that weve seen. So we must prepare for everything. Beyond anything. Prepare for everything. Want more . Heres chairman of the House Intelligence Committee mike rogers on this broadcast last night. Our fear here is that this notion that if we just dont do anything everything is going to be okay is going to continue. This is as dangerous a threat matrix as i have ever seen in my time on the intel committee, which is about ten years, megyn. It is serious. Then today as a reminder of who these guys are we received this video of syrian soldiers, 250 of them reportedly captured by isis, stripped to their underwear, marched through the desert by their laughing captors, then shot dead and left in a scene we will not show you. Yesterday the white house assured the public the president has a comprehensive strategy for dealing with this group. So when word broke today that the president was in the situation room and would later make an announcement, it sounded like that strategy might soon be revealed. But he in turn talked about the holiday weekend, got around to isis and the president admitted contrary to yesterdays claims from the white house he does not yet have a strategy for dealing with this problem. Listen. I dont want to put the cart before the horse. We dont have a strategy yet. I think what ive seen in some of the news reports suggests that folks are getting a little further ahead of where were at than we currently are. We have Fox Team Coverage tonight with general jack keane, governor Mike Huckabee, Chris Stirewalt and our own joe trip pi. We begin at the white house tonight with ed henry. Ed. Good evening, megyn. One word to describe what happened today, and thats disaster. I know that because i was sitting there and i heard it with my own ears. And i was stunned i didnt get called on but i was stunned that my colleagues who were called on later after he said that didnt followup and simply say why is there no strategy. After a whole line of officials have said this is a grave disaster, chuck hagel saying this is worse than al qaeda pre9 11. The second reason i know its a disaster is because ever since the president uttered it, the white house has been in damage control. Ive gotten phone calls on twitter josh earnest was out there saying heres what he was really saying. And a press release a couple moments ago about the president meeting in the situation room and the readout said that he discussed the comprehensive strategy to deal with isis. So theyre now saying tonight the president spoke with his team about a comprehensive strategy. He said a few hours ago he did not have. The important context we should note is he was being asked about syria. Earlier in this News Conference the president did say in fact he has a military strategy to deal with iraq. Weve seen more than 100 u. S. Air strikes there. But he was being pressed about syria and why havent you gone to congress and frankly uttered something that was just honest. He said i cant go to congress and sell a plan i dont have yet. I dont have a strategy for syria yet. So this is a problem. One final note. Last night i reported amid all this crises the president tomorrow is going to rhode island to fund raise. That caught your interest. I want to correct one thing. Its not just rhode island, we now learn hes going to westchester, new york to fund raise as well. I was right, its rhode island but also fund raising in new york. Two stops, fundraisers tomorrow after all this, megyn. Not to worry. Now they do have a comprehensive vat ji. Not to worry. Ed, thank you. Good to see you. Joining me now general jack keane, hes chairman of the institute for the study of war and fox news military analyst. General, good to see you tonight. What do you make the president , now the white house trying to dial it back from josh earpest but from the president s own lips, we have no strategy for dealing with this terror army. Well, its an extraordinary and stunning admission coming from the leader of the worlds most powerful nation. As such, megyn, its embarrassing also. As you pointed out in the introduction, we know a lot about isis. They reemerged in 2009 and 2010 in earnest in iraq. They moved into syria in a comprehensive way in 2011. Theyve been there for three years taking control of territory. They were a growing menace every single month increasing in territorial control and imposing their harsh governance. Our intel agencies have been watching them all this time. The institute of the study of war weve tracked them on a daily basis. Weve shared information with intelligence agencies, with the department of state, with the department of defense, everybody in our government in the National Security business knows this organization and what a significant threat it is to the middle east, which is attacking our vital interests and also to our country. We need a comprehensive strategy. And i fear, i fear that we may not get one. The president even though he uttered those words, seemed to then go onto outline what hes thinking right now. He suggested that, yes, we need to have a military presence there. And hes asked for recommendations from chuck hagel and general dempsey on what that should be. Hes suggested that we needed to get, you know, new leadership in place in iraq, which has now happened because otherwise we need the right Political Leadership in place. And he talked about building a coalition of forces, so its not just the United States. And by the way, secretary of state john kerry is over there right now. Heres how the president outlined what hes thinking so far and in particular id like to get your thoughts on how he said, look, we can do all the military stuff we want in the world, but its not going to do anything unless we follow through and get a coalition. Listen to the president. Our militarys the best in the world. We can rout isis on the ground and keep a lid on things temporarily, but then as soon as we leave the same problems come back again. This should be a wakeup call to sunni, so shia, to everybody, that a group like isis is beyond the pail. Weve got to all join together even if we have differences on a range of political issues, to make sure theyre rooted out. How does that sound to you, general . Well, i agree with much of that. The fact of the matter is we do need to lead a coalition, particularly from the region but also with other allies. It has to transcend political, diplomatic, economic and military. But you do have to go out there and attack them. You have to destroy what they have. And you have to end up killing and capturing a lot of them. Weve done this before. But the fact of the matter is we have to assist our allies there. The fact is that Free Syrian Army we should robustly arm them and train them and stop doing half measures which were currently doing. The people on the ground in iraq that are going to lead this, the iraqi army will lead, sunni tribal leaders will participate. Heres what we dont know, e wi strikes. Im convinced well eventually get to do it. Well have Coalition Partners doing it. And it will be effecteffective. But we cannot defeat isis with the air strikes alone. The only way you can do that is a combination of a ground force supported by air power. The ground force are going to be others that we are going to support. And we do not know if theyre going to be affected. That is the unknown question here. And were just going to have to see. And we dont know either how long its going to take. Why do you think the president said he has no strategy given that hes clearly being briefed on all of this . Theres no way general dempsey doesnt have an idea of where to go in and do militarily. I think he made that statement because he hasnt made a decision about what to do. And i think that was an honest reflection of that. I mean, i know for a fact that there is military Campaign Strategy that the pentagon has thats been developed by Central Command headquarters at tampa, florida. They had regional responsibility here. Along with that obviously they would also have a range of options. So inside the National Security apparatus im convinced theres a lot of thinking going on. But i believe he hasnt got as involved as they are, and number two, he hasnt made any decisions. I think that was an honest answer. He didnt have a strategy. That is what is so embarrassing after all this time that were not conversing with this to the degree that we could really talk about it in some level of detail even though he may not have made a final decision. Sure hell be mulling it over at the fundraisers tomorrow. General, thank you. Always good talking to you, megyn. Look, i know the president s fund raise. They all do it. They have to do it to keep their party in power, which they think is important to keeping their policies in place. But is now the time . Were going to have a fair and balanced debate on that in just a bit. Were waiting to learn the details of the president s strategy when he comes up with it for taking on this terror group. We do have details on his fund raising trip tomorrow. As i said, well discuss it fair and balanced. Plus, we now have three Young Americans killed after deciding to fight along this terror group. They died because they chose to go fight with isis and die. All from minnesota. Pete is from that very area. We will ask him why he thinks his home state is becoming a prime recruiting spot for terror groups. And disturbing new videos of isis captives literally marched to their graves, we will ask governor Mike Huckabee that the president s suggestion that other muslim nations need to do more here. To us we believe that this generation of children is the generation of caliphate. God willing this generation will fight infidels, the americans and their allies god willing. Thank ythank you for defendiyour sacrifice. And thank you for your bravery. Thank you colonel. Thank you daddy. Military families are uniquely thankful for many things, the legacy of usaa Auto Insurance can be one of them. If youre a current or former military member or their family, get an Auto Insurance quote and see why 92 of our members plan to stay for life. I say to america that the islamic caliphate has been established and we will not stop. Dont be cowards and attack us with drones. Instead, send your soldiers, the ones we humiliated in iraq. We will humiliate them everywhere god willing. And we will raise the flag of allah in the white house. That was a spokesperson for isis taunting the United States. We mentioned earlier how a video posted to an isis youtube account on thursday appeared to show isis fighters forcing a group of captured syrian soldiers to strip down to their underwear only to parade them through syrias desert before executing them all. Isis claimed the number was at 250. Local reporting put it at 120. You get the picture. In any event these are radical muslims executing other muslims. So where is that coalition of middle Eastern Countries willing to fight against these atroci atrociti atrocities . Fox news governor Mike Huckabee joins us now. We have interests over there, thats clear, governor. But so do they. So far the only ones volunteered to help us if we go in there militarily are australia and great britain. What we really have is blood thats being shed by people that dont live in the neighborhood. And the people who live right next door, theyre more than willing to make a little contribution. The saudis gave 100 million to the United Nations effort. Youre seeing some comments by the arab league. Thats all fine and good. But you know what, megyn . Until some people in those countries are willing to get in the fight and put their sons out on the battlefield, i think the United States need to say, guys, were not going to spill american blood to help you guys who wont get out of your palaces and out of your just obscenely wealthy endeavors and get out here and stop this nonsense yourself. Its enough for america to have to not only finance the fighting of isis but have to also pay for it with the blood of american sons and daughters. I think we need to say to these nations thats it. Its hard for us to say that because we of course are vulnerable potentially as well. We worry about our interests over there and we worry about our interests right here at home. So we cant just sit back and say you do it. After 9 11, governor, the uae, turkey, jordan, they all sent troops to help us in afghanistan. What about now . Are they likely to send troops . Because so far theyre not volunteering. No, theyre not volunteering. You know, the president keeps talking about ive got a pen and ive got a phone. Let him get that pen and write down the list of all these countries who are going to be far more affected and much more immediately than we are. But youre right, it will affect us. And then get on that phone of his and call these guys and explain to them in explicit terms that weve got to seal off our own borders right now. Weve got some problems here at home. Weve got all this wiz bang technology and yet social media is now able to attract these young kids and radicalize them. You know, this is crazy. Theyre using 21st Century Technology to recruit a bunch of kids so they can take us back to the 12th century. I dont think a lot of people are understanding how is he supposed to do that, governor . Right now he did say today that hes sending john kerry to the region to try to develop this coalition. I mean, i dont want to get into the disgusting details about what isis does because thats what they want. They want us to get out here and exploit their propaganda and build their brand as the most barbaric group that ever lived. If you want to find out ha theyre doing, use the worst recesses of your imagination. Theyve done it all. Why arent these other countries who are right there, i mean, they want to go into jordan, they want to go to the uae, this is their goal. And ultimately theyd love to come here. But theyre first. Theyre in the region. Theyve got shared borders. Why wouldnt they be stepping up and trying to lead in some way . It just seems like were the only ones. Were it. You know, megyn, the first principle of leadership is this, leaders never ask others to do what theyre unwilling to do. And i think whats happened nobody in the world thinks america really means anything it says. Whether its the red line in syria, whether its telling putin that he shouldnt be advancing into the ukraine. Which he is right now by the way. By telling hamas to stop firing rockets. Nothing. Nothing is happening. And nobody trusts us anymore. And why should they . We are like people who watch a western the Old Fashioned westerns from the 50s. And, megyn, we cant tell the difference between the good guys and bad guys. You cant do that if you on the golf course or raising funds. Youre going to have to come off the golf course, get away from the fundraisers and do the job. And that means youre going to have to be on the phone. You may have to get on a plane and look some of these guys in the eye and explain to them how the cow eats the cabbage, as we like to say down south. I dont know what that means but it sounds profound. Im going to google that during this commercial break. Governor, thank you for being here. Thank you, megyn. Why . Why does it eat the cabbage . That probably doesnt lead to good results if you know what im saying. House intel chairman mike rogers was on this broadcast last night saying the Terror Threat right now is the worst he has seen in ten years. So why is the president headed out on these big fundraisers tomorrow . Why . Why isnt he back in washington working on that strategy . Chris stirewalt and joe ahead on that. Plus, a second american is reportedly killed this month fighting on the side of the terrorists. Joining two others from his same state who died for the cause of jihad. Up next, whos recruiting these young men and women and how. It was clear and convincing evidence then that there was a pipeline from minneapolis to Islamic Jihad overseas and that people in the community knew about it and people in the community were covering it up.
