Things that need to be done for several reasons. what's your interpretation? >> you know, that could be very well the case. i would look at the bigger picture. we're sending a carrier group, we'll have so that potentially 80-plus additional aircraft in addition to what we have in air bases in the middle east, a strong aviation presence that's just been fortified with b-52s. if push comes to 1406 and we need to make -- shove and we need to make iran pay the price, i think we need the navy and the air force more than a ground element that would get us enmeshed in another middle eastern war, in a...

Skepticism because it has happened so fast and hot on the heels of what happened in paris. clearly these targets may have been known for the united states for some time. they had jets over the skies of raqqah for so long now. for french air force to bomb may be too much of an opportunity to be entirely credible. this provides the french public and francois hollande the viceral reaction. we have no idea what effect this has, but it gives a clear message that france's military is so much more in the game than it has been before. other key questions are, of course, is this the beginning of a leng...
