WH Deputy National Security Advisor Ben Rhodes: \u201cThere\u2019s going to have to be an intensification of our efforts\u201d against ISIS<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

NOV. 15, 2015 — On a special edition of \u201cMeet the Press: Terror in Paris,\u201d presidential candidate and former Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL)<\/strong> told moderator Chuck Todd this morning that \u201cwe should declare war and harness all of the power that the United States can bring to bear both diplomatic and military, of course, to be able to take out ISIS.\u201d<\/p>\n

When asked how he\u2019d like to see President Obama respond, Bush listed: \u201cDeclare a no-fly zone over Syria. \u00a0Directly arm the Peshmerga forces in Iraq. Re-engage with the Sunni tribal leaders. Embed with the Iraqi military. Be able to create safe zones in Syria. Garner the support of our European allies and the tradition Arab states. Lead.\u201d Watch the full Bush interview here: http:\/\/nbcnews.to\/1YbZaNH<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ben Rhodes<\/strong>, deputy national security advisor for the Obama administration, told Todd that the president\u2019s comments days before the attacks that \u201cISIS had been contained\u201d referred \u201cvery specifically to the question of ISIL\u2019s geographic expansion in Iraq and Syria.\u201d \u201cThere\u2019s going to have to be an intensification of our efforts,\u201d said Rhodes.<\/p>\n

Homeland Security Committee Chairman Rep. Michael McCaul (R-TX)<\/strong>, who exclusively joined the show, told Todd he disagrees with Rhodes on the government’s ability to properly vet refugees: \u201cI’ve been briefed by the F.B.I. and Homeland Security, and they tell me that this cannot be properly done. \u00a0We don’t have the databases.\u201d Michael Leiter<\/strong>, former director of the U.S. National Counterterrorism Center, also joined the program.<\/p>\n

French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira<\/strong> told Todd: \u201cIt\u2019s an act of war and it is a war. And it is a war against civilian people. \u00a0It is a war against our shared values. \u00a0It is a war against what we are.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC News\u2019 Richard Engel<\/strong> also joined the show live from Paris to share what we\u2019ve learned about the attacks, and Theresa Cede<\/strong>, a survivor of the attacks, shared her first-hand account.<\/p>\n

Andrea Mitchell<\/strong> of NBC News; Jeff Greenfield<\/strong>, formerly of CBS News; and Eugene Robinson<\/strong> and Jennifer Rubin<\/strong>, both of The Washington Post, joined this morning\u2019s show for insight and analysis.<\/p>\n
