Breaking news out of syria now. what many feared ever since turk, troops surged across the border with syria, u.s. troops now put in danger. a u.s. official telling cnn forces backed by turkey came very close to american soldiers on the coalition base in northern western syria near the town of ain issa. americans responded with a show of force to defense themselves. all coming in as top republicans who slammed the president for his handling of the syria crisis, they re changing their tune now, praising him and they are now blaming this impeachment inquiry. what the democrats are doing themselves to try to weaken this president is part of this. it was not an accident that the turks chose this moment to roll across the border and i think democrats have to pay very close attention to the damage that they re doing with the impeachment proceedings. ....
To gain by distracting from some of its recent losses, not just what we ve seen on tv in iraq but near aleppo, elsewhere. these are very good propaganda victories for the group. obviously gibbs them a chance to strike hezbollah at home the same way that hezbollah has been trying to strike isis in its headquarters up in northern western syria. evan kohlmann, appreciate it. i want to bring in cal paerry i new york. you know the neighborhood. when we look at pictures and it s dark and hard to tell what kind of a street that is, give us a sense. it s very compact. ayman talking about the civilians in the neighborhood and that s an important point to make to viewer. it s a hezbollah stronghold, we use the word strong hold to tell you hezbollah officials live there, also a media office, all foreign should check in when ....
Only would like to strike a blow against enemies but also to distract public attention from any setbacks that it is unfortunately suffered unfortunately for them anyway has suffered in aleppo and elsewhere in syria. this is one way of doing that. we do have to be careful. obviously the details of their communique here don t match exactly with the details on the ground. they probably are the most likely suspect, but again, they also claimed credit for the downing of the russian airliner and we still don t have definitive evidence showing they did do that or even that it was terrorism. until we know a little bit more, obviously, this is an act of terrorism. but there are other potential culprits. there s jeb ba al nusra, al qaeda in syria that carried out similar attacks previously in beirut and vowed that it would carry out others. again there s a claim of credit from isis. it comes from an official source. there s no reason to doubt the chain of custody comes through, ....
Carry out acts on a small scale but with enough frequency that they are troubling and, nfin fa, more than just troubling. you see that here in the west with folks, most of them, have no contact with isis, they re simply being incited by isis to carry out acts of violence. and you see acts like this. and again one of the interesting things here in beirut is that supposedly there was one suicide bomber. and it is interesting that for a major attack they only involved one bomber. does that mean they have a shortage of personnel or are they leaving out details here? a third individual was captured or intercepted. we ll see what information comes out from there, whether or not this was something planned inside syria or whether or not there are active isis cells and network that right now is inside of lebanon. that s more disturbing. i think it s likely, but understanding the extent to which that s the case is important for lebanese authorities to figure out whether or not this is an ....
Kohlmann is with us as well. this is getting a lot of talk lately. a kind of oddly unifying factor. you re going to get a lot of strange bedfellows, all of them united in the fight against isis. yeah, and look, these folks are looking right now to try to strike back at adversaries that are beyond their immediate reach. it s not so easy for these folks to shoot down u.s. or russian war planes over the skies in syria or iraq. it s a lot easier if they re looking to make a point or they re looking to try to strike at the heart of their enemies, instead of striking there, at civilian targets, targets that are deep within the heart of their enemies. beirut is really quite an attractive target for them. hezbollah right now is playing an extremely active role on what s going on in syria. they ve been at the forefront of most of the syrian army major oifs including the latest offensive that liberated territory near aleppo. there s no doubt that isis not ....
