, after mosul. we've already talked a bit about the reconciliation components of that, so two further questions on that. once mosul is recaptured what will the iraq kay government do with the popular motivation forces? disband them or convert them to a national guard? there is on the military side. there is a related question, what are the non-security measures that the iraqi government will take to prevent another generation of terrorists from emerging after liberating mosul. >> translator: the different national iraqi groups that are fighting in iraq came as a reshock un, for example, the mobilized forces came after great violations of the iraq at this territories and iraqi population from isil. the, the iraqi volunteers represented by the mobilizing force came as a response from different appeals from the iraqi people, from the highest religious leadership in iraq and those are committed to the principles of the iraqi army and work under the their umbrella. what would you expect after 2/3 of iraq

. >> mosul a key target for the coalition right now. isis took over mosul two years ago, they've been in control ever since. this is the second largest city in iraq. how does it look for the liberation of mouse selsul? is it going to begin this year? >> the operation is on going, wolf. we've been shaping the fight in mosul with stripes for several months. the iraqi forces conducting that attack are in route now. they just took the kiara air base. we definitely will see the operation continue forward. the iraqis are making good progress. we're seeing them fight well on the ground, they're defeating daesh, defighti >> besides the u.s., who else is launching air strikes against isis in mosul, in that area? >> well, there are 16 members of the coalition that are providing strikes inside iraq. so you've got the british, the french, a wide variety of the coalition members that are here, contributing nations to the coalition, that are conducting those strikes inside mosul, and the iraqi air force itself is attacking inside mosul as well. >> i

on mosul, what you're seeing is isis is base ically running from a lot of its engagements. it doesn't mean isis is on the run and to say that would be a mistake at this point. isis is basically lashing out. it's what i would call where you're going in after a particular target and as soon as isis is a victim of something or feels its very existence is threatened, it's going to lash out. these types of attacks are certainly planned, but they are acts of desperation in the sense they are needed in order for isis to maintain its momentum. >> something you said before we go. it's interesting that you said intelligence officials have to put themselves in the shoes of isis who can imagine such horrific things to do. >> presumably we'll see more of this. thank you, colonel. >> you bet. absolutely. >>> happening now, heightened

mosul will be the ultimate test. we must apply every lesson learned and we must ensure recent resources are ready and act with urgency across all our lines of effort and remember , mosul is where apple declared his phony face in june 2014 and if we get this campaign right on the ground in all aspects that's where we can begin to sealhis fate. mosul will be the most complex operation to date with over 1 million civilians inside the city , the city and its environs before daesh was diverse but sunnis arab living in close proximity to one another. all of these components must now have an appropriate role in liberating their own territory rain organized and well integrated political military plan. planning is now well underway and on thenonmilitary side focused on four key areas . first, we need a political agreement on the disposition of forces that will be used in the liberation. second, a unified plan on humanitarianassistance . third, an agreed program for stabilization and finally an agreed plan for post- daesh gove

number five on the map is mosul. this is coordinated from a joint base where he tragically lost a u.s. marine last month. these operations, one of which is just south of mosul, ongoing at this hour, are setting up for the operation. that will be a significant military challenge that also a humanitarian challenge. the planning is now underway. in the iraqi kurdistan region, i was invited with ambassador jones to attend a meeting with the national security advisor to address the difficult challenges in the campaign. this is one of the more positive meetings i have attended in iraq. focusing on the coming liberation of mosul and west must be done, including for the diverse communities to work together. the iraqi government agreed to pay and equip thousand for that campaign, representing arabs, kurds, christians, you see the yazidis, and others. this is building on a model that has worked in tikrit, to return with significant backing and support from our coalition. finally, in anbar, number seven and eight on the map, ir

all families escape to mosul. tom: he says all those working for the islamic state group in have becomemosul soldiers, and life on the ground for locals is grindingly tough. >> the situation is exhausting. there aren't any jobs, nothing, no food. you can't go anywhere without permission from the islamic state. who fled from villages held by the islamic state group militants are being put up in caps-- tents and feel safe enough to speak about their escape. >> we arrived reports security forces by night. thank god they didn't kill us. my daughter was carrying a white flag pit we told the army that members of the islamic state group followed us and shot in our direction from cars. tom: the final battle for mosul is living as iraqi state groups are gaining on the city. experts say taking control of the city is one thing. after theor a mosul islamic state group is gone is quite another. german chancellor angela merkel is standing by her open-door refugee policy despite three recent attacks carried out by asylum-seekers

yet the negroes closer when mosul will be liberated. there is a light at the end of this nightmarish tunnel due to the good work of iraqi forces and the counter isil coalition but once daesh is expelled the international community must share the difficult fight, the difficult work of waging war to the equallychallenging task of winning the peace . to win the peace we need to see reconstruction across the board in our communal reconciliation, respected rights, transitional justice and more. the international community on our side, we need to plan these communities with these challenges but we also need minority communities to coalesce around a common vision of their future. as i'm sure you will hear today there are different views on the best way forward to preserve the presence of these ancient communities. this agreement is natural and can be constructive if it leads to better ideas and more focused effort. however, if this agreement becomes efficient, fraction communities this will prove costly. those who post pluralism and make it mo

we will go to mosul and we will meet in mosul, god willing. >> reporter: it's an important victory for the iraqi government and an important step in pushing back isis. but it has come at a cost. everyone who lived under isis has come under suspicion. iraq security forces have detained 20,000 men and boys who fled the city for investigation. they are still holding 9,000 of them. an american organization has arrived with its iraqi partner to deliver aid to some of those held at a detention center three hours from baghdad. but officials say they will confiscate the tthbrushes which can be used to stab people. and they're afraid some will hang themselves with the towels.

if they lose mosul, they're pushed out of iraq and raqqa their capital there is a prime target. we haven't seen tried to take raqqa down yet. it is pathetic the way this campaign has been conducted but the fact is, if they lose their center of gravity you can have something in certain -- syria and something in afghanistan but you have lost the caliphate. melissa: very quickly, do you think president obama has the will to do that at this point after so much time he hasn't done that? >> that is a very good question. i think he senses that the way trump has come along, that the american people are very truss truss -- frustrated the way he has done it and impacting i believe on hillary clinton's campaign. melissa: wow. >> a little early to say that. melissa: general, thank you so much for joining us. it is very interesting perspective. i haven't heard anyone else say that. very interesting. we'll see. thank you, sir. >> thanks, melissa. melissa: connell. connell: much, much different story coming up here. this phenomenon only days old but might already be game over for "pokemon go."

. >> and taking over mosul, the second largest city... >> i think washington was stunned when the second largest city in iraq, a city of two million people, fell in a day. to a terrorist organization that we had not imagined was in the first order of terrorist organizations. >> narrator: but these fighters were not new. they had been at war for more than a decade, ever since the american invasion of iraq. they have used beheadings, suicide bombings, and mass killings to implement a violent plan. a plan designed and carried out by this man: abu musab al-zarqawi, the founder of isis. >> narrator: the secret history of isis began at the cia in the aftermath of 9/11. there was an urgent question about abu musab al-zarqawi. >> i was an analyst working on the team that was charged with evaluating whether or not al-qaeda and iraq had conspired together to conduct 9/11 attacks. >> narrator: at the agency's counterterrorism center, analyst nada bakos was tasked with learning everything she could about zarqawi. >> on the team, as an analyst, the big question was whether or not zarqawi was part of

provided by local police, people mosul know the neighborhoods and we hope to triple the number of police trainers from our coalition over the coming weeks or it this coalition police training effort led by the elite has announced the support from the public and australia and others that is more important than ever. finally, as in ramani and tikrit, governance will be an indicator of success. responsibility will begin to local officials with the government taking a permanent role. mosul will be more complex due to local political disagreements and challenges to the governor's authority. as a coalition, we must encourage all parties to put aside local disputes and focus on the immediate task at hand, defeating daesh in the heart of his phony caliphate with the entire world watching and the states could not be higher. this requires intense and active diplomacy by our diplomats on the ground and close coordination with our iraqi partners in baghdad and in the north province. at bottom, as military campaign plan comes together, thesefour nonmilitary components , political agreement on the dis

in mosul, it will be a siege of iraqi armored divisions and the kurds. the baghdad government is increasingly illegitimate. isis still has a firm grip of their caliphate in syria. so it is combat, but what it looks like after we defeat an enemy in mosul is very uncertain. >> how important is that to strategy, to name this, as you are saying, what it is, a combat operation? >> what's important is crushing and defeating your enemy. having them know you're committed to the cause, which barack obama has never been. it's going to slow dripincrease in troops. a pinprick air strikes, and we just drag along on the ground. the mission gets longer, and the caliphate gains legitimacy. the longer it exists, the more legitimate it is. the fact that we don't call it combat, makes it more difficult combat in the future. george bush said if we don't defeat them in the surge, we're going to fight a more vicious enemy in the future. >> love getting your perspective. gloves off or we'll continue slow dripping away. >> love to get your perspective on that. and a busy guy. >

they are preparing to go after the city of mosul, which is, of course, the second largest city in iraq. they are doing so in coordination with the peshmerga, the kurdish forces and what we saw at the so-called liberation operations room outside of mosul. there are american advisers, british advisers, american and british trainers as well. so there has been an improvement and they are regaining ground. it's important, as we focus so much on these recent attacks by isis, that, in a sense, this is what happens when an organization like isis is cornered like a wild beast and it's striking back. but it is losing ground and this is their way, isis' way of showing its supporters that it is still a relevant organization. wolf? >> and briefly, ben, i want to show our viewers, when i saw the images of the buildings blown up, you can see on the left the destruction in baghdad over the weekend. take a look on the right. it reminded me of the federal building in oklahoma city, the federal office building blown up back in 1995. you can see the destruction in both of those buildings. i take it, ben,

now we have up in the northern part of iraq a town called mosul, a big city called mosul, which is being surrounded by forces of the alliance. they include not so much u.s. troops on the ground. we have some support for troops on the grouped. we certainly have air power there. we are providing a fair amount of help and intelligence. we will have elements of the kurds, their forces, iraqi army and some other forces, too, surrounding mosul. and my hope and expectation in relation to it is getting ready to gradually go into that city, try to do it in a way that the civilians there do not get killed, unnecessarily, so it's something that we're going to do it right but i think ultimately we'll be successful. and you go almost due west from mosul toward syria, you come to a big city called araka. that is essentially the capital, almost like the spiritual capital of the caliphate that the isis folks are trying to establish. araka is now being sort of approached from the southwest by syrian army forces, russian air power, and for us from the northeast not american ground forces but kurds and oth

it's about 40 miles from mosul. this air base will be used to help stage the coming effort this summer, this fall to retake mosul. while this is going on in this part of the country, this part of the country, raqqa, which is the spiritual capital, if you will, of the caliphate, the isis caliphate. and over here we have a combination of u.s. alliance forces coming in from the northeast approaching raqqa. we have syrian troops with the support from russian air coming this way, sort of the pinscher movement underway today. when asked how things are going, most people would really not know of the progress that's being made. a lot of people maybe still think it stopped two years ago, but it's not. a great deal has been accomplished. during that period of time we've seen not only recapture of a lot of land, dropoff of a lot of folks around the world, including those who want to sign up for isis, those numbers have dropped dramatically. we also know the f.b.i. has arrested in the last two years close to 100 individuals her

and they already have a forward operating base to the west of mosul -- to the east, rather. and this is an indication that the u.s. is going to be full-in on any kind of military operation by the iraqis to retake mosul, the second-largest city in iraq, and a key target in any attempt to drive isis and their control of the northern iraq area out of that region, chris. >> nbc's jim miklaszewski. thank you. >> you bet. >>> still ahead, the moment hillary clinton has been waiting for. bernie sanders set to endorse the presumptive democratic nominee at a rally tomorrow. the ultimate show of support, ahead. >>> plus, is donald trump honing in on a running mate as he gears up for the convention in cleveland. we'll talk about that as well when we come back. oh, look... ...another anti-wrinkle cream in no hurry to make anything happen. neutrogena® rapid wrinkle repair works... ...in one week. with the... fastest retinol formula. ...to visibly reduce wrinkles. neutrogena®. afdave stops working, but his aleve doesn't. because aleve can last 4 hours longer than tylenol 8 hour. what wi

mosul, iraq's second largest city, captured by isis two years ago after u.s.-trained iraqi forces fled in the face of isis lightning raids. now iraqi forces are punching back. over the weekend, seizing a crucial air field at kiara, 40 miles south of the city. many u.s. troops will operate out of the newly captured air base, supporting thousands of iraqi forces that will be part of the assault on mosul from the south. as kurdish forces attack from the north. >> just to remind you the importance of quarrayah west, objectives that we set some months ago as places from which the iraqi security forces would position themselves for the southern-most envelopment of mosul. >> reporter: with the 560 additional troops beginning to arrive within weeks, overall u.s. force levels in iraq could rise to over 4,600, plus another 2,400 contractors already in the country. the u.s. has spent more than $7.5 billion fighting isis in iraq and syria. about $11.7 million a day. commanders believe it's paying off with isis losing key territory and capability, including the ability to

what are they thinking as they move forward towards mosul? >> they're getting more and more isolated and supply lines are being retrained, perhaps cut off. the iraqi troops, the other forces helping us are getting closer and closer. we've got more people in the field. it looks like those cities may fall. the timeline is uncertainty. it may take weeks or much longer. clearly, the momentum is on the side of the u.s. at this point. >> toby warric, helped write the article for "the washington p t post." thank you. >> my pleasure. >>> mourners gathered at the first funerals for those who e died in the police attacks, you'll hear from relatives as we approach the bottom of the hour and the top of the news. constipated? trust number one doctor recommended dulcolax use dulcolax tablets for gentle overnight relief suppositories for relief in minutes and stool softeners for comfortable relief of hard stools. dulcolax, designed for dependable relief >>> fox report now, more headlines from the fox news desk. the godfather of the real life corleon family

those which are organized, planned, logistics out of mosul or raqqa. it was unfortunately the case in january and november 2015. such movements we have to fight against through intelligence, cooperation. also we can fight by destroying the central core. but the other subject which is far more complicated is what has happened in nice, where one man told and known by the police becomes radicalized, very, very quickly and attacks. there are no proven links between him and isis come accept the isis is claiming. what he did was not indicating that they would be a possible radicalization in the future. those crimes are real. one, my major concern is the fact that this kind of risk could happen anywhere, so we have to fight the source. now, against organized groups, since the events in question, legislative meetings in france, against terrorism, which make it possible to inquire information very efficiently. maybe they used to be some holes and now those holes have been filled. one last question because i have to leave. >> over there. >> thank you. my name is
