Administration loath, in most cases, most times, to say the words meddling in the u.s. election. >> the president himself, obviously. >> and others. even this morning when these sanctions were announced on a briefing with senior members of the administration, they still said this is partly about russia's continued interference in western democracies. they finally put out a paper statement that said interference in the 2016 election but it's like pulling teeth. and critics say let's see a broader, more integrated approach to turning the screws on russia. although the obama administration did th...

White house declared in a paper statement, that isis is "almost completely destroyed." we have made tremendous progress against isis, particularly in syria but also in parts of iraq. a lot of that is due to the presidents change in the rules of engagement and a change of strategy. he deserves credit for that, full stop. but it is absurd at this point to say that the jihadist threat has been diminished, that isis is running away. it sounds like the president is on the verge of repeating the mistakes that barack obama made when he said al qaeda was decimated, al qaeda was on the run, and took hi...
