:01:04. > :01:07.to take down ISIS, the brutal killers who executed those two
:01:08. > :01:16.American journalists. Tonight, three weeks weeks after the first of those
:01:17. > :01:19.videos surfaced, the killers are still on the loose. Tonight, what is
:01:20. > :01:24.that Obama will say to the American people. Just 14 days ago he said he
:01:25. > :01:29.didn't have a strategy yet. Tonight, many are asking whether he has one
:01:30. > :01:34.now, and what it will mean for US troops and our safety home. Our
:01:35. > :01:37.panel join us. We begin without chief White House correspondent.
:01:38. > :01:44.Good evening. Good evening. After weeks of muddled and contradictory
:01:45. > :01:47.statement, the President will say tonight he has a clear and
:01:48. > :01:53.comprehensive strategy to degrade and destroy ISIS. Under intense
:01:54. > :01:57.pressure to prove he has a plan, the President will say tonight, I can
:01:58. > :02:02.announce that America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this
:02:03. > :02:08.terrorist threat. What does that mean? First, in Iraq, where ISIS
:02:09. > :02:13.controls the third of the country, US airstrikes will be expanded. Also
:02:14. > :02:17.more military support for Iraqi and Kurdish fighters battling ISIS on

:02:55. > :02:58.it clear that he is prepared to order air strikes on ISIS targets in
:02:59. > :03:02.Syria as well as Iraq, as one senior official told me today, the
:03:03. > :03:06.President is prepared to go wherever necessary to defeat them. That is
:03:07. > :03:08.prepared, he has not made that order yet and I am told it is not likely
:03:09. > :03:21.to happen right away. 71% of Americans support air strikes

:03:34. > :03:38.high`stakes speech. The dilemma is, the majority agree with him. He has
:03:39. > :03:42.authorised air strikes. The majority agree on not sending ground troops.
:03:43. > :03:47.The majority also think he has been too cautious. For the first time,
:03:48. > :03:52.the majority disapprove of his foreign policy. He has got to
:03:53. > :03:57.convince the country he is doing what it takes to defeat ISIS without
:03:58. > :04:06.sucking us back into a walk, without making this America's war. `` walk,
