Tonight, we are all in. Our objective is clear. And that is to degrade and destroy isil. The march to war. The president vows action on isis, as Congress Demands a vote to authorize military intervention. Tonight well talk to a u. S. Senator and look at the flip side of intervention. Then the smearing of Michael Brown. Who is trying to obtain his juvenile criminal records and for what purpose . Sometime i felt like giving up and stuff. I said, i cant do that. Exonerated, two half brothers spent 30 years in prison for crimes they did not commit. One even used in a republican backed Willie HortonStyle Campaign ad. And with the world in turmoil, sean hannity calls on a renowned Foreign Policy expert. Listen to this on this isis thing. Phil robertson weighs in on isis, well have the full analysis. Either convert them or kill them. All in starts right now. Congress tonight is marching toward a vote to give president obama the authority to begin an assault on isis, also known as the Islamic State or isil, in its home base in syria. The congressional push follows release yesterday of isis militants beheading a second american journalist, steven sotloff, in what isis said was a response to continued u. S. Air strikes on its position in iraq. U. S. Intelligence community confirmed today that video is authentic. We saw him brutally taken from us, in an act of medieval savagery, by a coward hiding behind a mask. For so many who worked so long to bring steven and other americans home safely, this obviously was not how the story was meant to end. Its a punch to the gut. Estonia today, president obama promised justice for sotloff and james foley and laid out the u. S. Objective in dealing with the militant group. The bottom line is this, our objective is clear and that is to degrade and destroy isil so its no longer a threat not just to iraq, but to the region and the United States. The president later offering this characterization of the u. S. Strategy. We know that if we are joined by the International Community we can continue to shrink isils speer of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem. Republicans immediately saw an opportunity to pounce, including Mitch Mcconnell and georgia senator Saxby Chambliss quickly jump on the president s description of isis as a manageable problem. We must destroy them now, so they cannot continue to carry out attacks against americans or on american soil. Meanwhile, joe biden offered the kind of chest thumping the president himself generally issues. As a nation were united. And when people harm americans, we dont retreat. We dont forget, we take care of those who are grieving, and when thats finished, they should know we will follow them to the gates of hell until they are brought to justice. Because hell is where they will reside. Those comments from the Vice President come amid new evidence of isis atrocities. In june, isis militants conducted a massacre between 560 and 770 mostly iraqi soldiers in tikrit, in a crime against humanity. State side, bill nelson said he would introduce legislation to give president obama Congressional Authority to strike isis in syria, when Congress Returns from recess next week. In the house, Virginia Republican frank wolf announced today he would address legislation against not just isis, but a range of terror groups saying his much broader authorization would allow the president to go after these terrorists, whether in syria, iraq or elsewhere. That would mean the president could launch air strikes pretty much anywhere in the world. A reminder, the last time that congress faced an authorization vote on the use of force just two months before an election was 2002. When lawmakers voted to authorize the war in iraq, that authorization for the use of force in iraq, is still in effect today, and it provided the legal basis for the administration to conduct the current air strikes against isis in iraq without congressional approval. Joining me now senator chris murphy, and a member of the Senate Foreign relations committee. Senator, do you agree that the president needs congressional authorization for any strikes that would happen in syria . Absolutely. Congress needs to authorize any broad ranging use of military force. And i certainly argue the case for syria, but id also argue if there is a long term new military engagement against isis in iraq, he needs congressional authorization for that as well. My heart goes out to the sotloff family, we are all grieving with them. And i agree with the president that it is in our National Security interest to stop isis if we can. The question is not whether there is a will, the question is if there is a way. The danger here is that if we rush headlong into thoughtless military action, we could make things worse, not better, and so the president is right. To take his time, put together a coalition in the region, which is unlike anything weve seen over the last decade, which brings sunni and shiite elements together to fight this very unique force. I think thats something that republicans and democrats can come together on, but the president has got to propose a comprehensive plan first rather than Congress Rushing to an authorization. So you would like to see you would like to see something coming out of the white house prior to some sort of congressional resolution coming before congress, so that the language can be specifically tailored narrowly, my fear, of course, is we still have the 2001 aumf in effect, we have the 2002 resolution for authorizing force in iraq. Another authorization could be used by future president s for a whole variety of military encounters. It seems like its a oneway ratchet, season the it . Over the last ten years, congress has abdicated its responsibility for overseaing Foreign Military operations with disastrous results, and so i just want to make sure we dont repeat the mistakes we made in iraq over the last ten years. What we proved is that military intervention alone doesnt make the situation better visavis islamic extremists. It makes it worse. I think there can be an authorization that would pass congress. I would suggest it would be limited in a way that doesnt allow for Ground Troops to be used, it should be time limited so we dont get into another decades long conflict. We need to see that plan that doesnt repeat the mistakes of a past. As i watch, read beltway media, watch cable news, it seems to me there is tremendous consensus in the sort of Foreign Policy elite and think tanks and politically around some kind of military action against isis, building this coalition. I wonder if februarys of Congress Getting back from august recess talking to their constituents if there will be any gap between that consensus and where American Voters are on the possibility of yet another war in the middle east . Well, here in connecticut, theres still two conflicting emotions, theres still a war weariness which was expressed last summer with the proposition of using military intervention, and syria inside that civil conflict. There is an outrage over the conduct of isis. I think its not easy to square the two. Thats why its important for the president to put forward a plan that doesnt just devolve us into another sectarian civil war. My constituents in connecticut are not going to be satisfied if both shiite and sunni nations in the middle east arent part of this coalition, if were going in with the shiite nations with iran, without saudi arabia, we become another participant in the civil war. That frankly puts us at greater risk, not at lesser risk, this is a different war. This is a different fight, and here in connecticut, theres a much greater willingness to take on a fight against isis, than there was last summer to take on a fight against bashar al assad. They keep beheading americans on camera, thats obviously playing a role. Senator chris murphy, thank you very much. The debate as the senator just mentioned right now is whether to bomb isis in syria and how to do it and when to do it and under what conditions of what kind of coalition. Now, the last western Bombing Campaign in the middle east with a Broad Coalition we should mention took place three years ago across the Mediterranean Sea in libya. A strikes were deployed against moammar gadhafi, during that countrys civil war, with the backing of the arab league, with nato behind it, Broad Coalition support. Khadafi had been condemned by the u. N. And the military intervention which led to his death was seen by many as a success. Now fast forward to the present day, this is what libya looks like right now. In a country free falling into chaos, libyan gunmen celebrate. Theyve just taken an american diplomatic compound so they take to the swimming pool, a symbolic moment they want the world to see. Yeah, that is islamic militants in libya jumping into the pool of the former embassy of americans. This is a recent video, a military jet crashing into a huge inferno near the parliamentary building. Libya is a nonstop gang fight between rival militias and war lords. In july, the u. S. Ordered americans to evacuate the embassy in libya. Last week the islamist linked group libya dawn seized the capitol in tripoli as well as the international airport. Remember, the western air strikes in libya are not ancient history. They took place just three years ago. The last major air strike in the middle east before the attack on isis in iraq, now libya is in a state of utter chaos. As we march toward a new round of bombing against isis in syria, strangely, almost nobody seems to be talking about it. Joining me now, mark ginsburg, former ambassador to morocco. When there was broad con sensitive in should be air strikes against gadhafi. He was threatening an air strike, he said were going to go closet to closet, may have been the term. Yes. Savagely killing everyone, because youve risen up against me. There was broad support, u. N. Security council resolution, we even got russia to get out of the way of it. The arab league supported it, everyone was lined up, air strikes came in, gadhafi fell and a lot of people said this is how you do it. Why were you worried then . You get rid of the dictator, and ive been to libya several times. You realize theres no order of government control that could emerge from this chaos without incubation support. Nation building is not a phrase that should be tossed around lightly. The Obama Administration took a victory lap after gadhafi was overthrown, didnt look in the Rearview Mirror for years, thinking that somehow or other, the 74 tribes vied for control over libyas wealth, which laid down their arms in front of islamists who were just waiting for the opportunity to seize power again. We are seeing we should say in libya, something thats not that different from what weve seen in syria, which is an islamist fashion and a rump of the old regime faction that are fighting each other in a civil war. Theyve alied in two separate camps. As bad as things are in libya its better in syria where we havent . The fact of the matter is, you choose your poison, al qaeda, which is a major cell has already infiltrated back into joining the libyan islamists. Is that a critical concern to the United States . It all depends. Does the president want to be able to take a victory lap on what he achieved in libya or as having an effect orchestrated, tremendous chaos in a country thats going to become a state sponsor of terror. Thats point one, point two, we worked really hard. And theres a great opportunity here to use the same method olgs in syria. There were 19 countries that joined this coalition against gadhafi, they included almost every member of nato, European Countries as well as arab countries, sunni and shiite. Well, gadhafi was a hell of a target for everybody. As isis is now . Exactly. The fact of the matter is, chris, if we are going to try to in effect halt this savagery that has now taken place in libya, it cant be american boots on the ground its got to be a combination of moroccan, algerian and Egyptian Forces that will in effect step in and create a police force to separate the sides. Youre saying this in libya right now . Right, in libya. Well, we have egypt bombing i just want to make a clear egypt is bombing the right guys in libya. Okay. This is exactly the point, ien watt to make this clear, it gets extremely confusing, you have these two different factions, theres islamists, theyre fighting each other. What you just said about this Broad Coalition, what im hearing from chris murphy, from people in washington is, we need to get a coalition together to go after isis. It seems to me the precedent here in libya is, they had a coalition, and that has not redowneded to the benefit of the libyan people or the security of the u. S. Three years after. Because chris, after everybody took the victory lap, after gadhafi went, the libyans were left to their own devices, theres with no police force or International Supervision of support to help them build a government. Sure, the state department and the u. S. Embassy were trying the best they can to help. It takes more when you realize that what was at stake here was a fight for democracy versus islamic extremism. Maybe its just the case that were very good at dropping bombs and pursuing military aims and not very good at what comes afterwards or maybe its not possible to do anything afterwards. And chaos is the inevitable. When you look at the arab world, and the American People pull their hair out, and they realize unlike japan where we stayed for 10 years, south korea where we stayed and still stay. Were still there . There are people who are willing to invest in the investment of democracy. Listen, you cant basically abandon Something Like libya, and pretend somehow or other this is going to fix itself. There are state Department Officials in touch with me saying, what do we do . How do we put the coalition back together . Marc ginsberg, thank you very much. Thank you. Should Michael Browns right to privacy be protected after his death .

A secret recording has surfaced in the Koch Brothers circle saying some things about fascism. Eenie. Meenie. Miney. Go. More adventures await in the sevenpassenger lexus gx. See your lexus dealer. Two Media Outlets are suing to obtain the juvenile records if any exist of Michael Brown, who was shot and killed by Ferguson Police officer dan wilson on august 9th. They had a hearing with a Family Court Judge to make their case. Juvenile records are sealed precisely for the reason that things people do as juveniles shouldnt hang over them for the rest of their life. Its unclear if theres any media basis for the unsealing of them. That guy is one of the Media Outlets asking for browns records, the other media outlet is the st. Louis post dispatch. The Juvenile Court lawyer has already stated that mike brown didnt face any juvenile charges at the time of his death, and never was charged with a serious felony such as murder, robbery or burglary. Those a b level serious felonies are not confidential for juveniles. With regard to any other possible lesser juvenile infractions, ones kept confidential by the missouri law, we dont know if the court will decide if the privacy rights of mike brown extend beyond his death. However, it is hard to see what possible relevance it could have on whether or not the Ferguson Police officer used Excessive Force when he shot and killed the unarmed brown on august 9th. Joining me now, anthony gray, the attorney for the family of Michael Brown. Your thoughts. Im amazed by the effort. Im still trying to reel from the reality that they were trying to actually go back two years into his juvenile life to somehow green a personality of a man who is now two years removed from being a juvenile. They have a twoyear window to look at mike brown jr. As an adult, to kind of assess, the kind of personality he had, and the kind of guy that he was. But they werent staphed with that two years not showing anything that now that they engaged in this effort to dig up some juvenile records. I thought it was appalling. What youre talking about is, there would be criminal for whatever record he would have as an adult, starts at 16 for the last two years of his life, is that correct . Absolutely. And that is there is no record, theres nothing that came up. Thats immediately reported. And theres also nothing known of a serious felony before 16. What possible rea
