but isis is the changing factor. and the only hope we can have is that that threat, the vision in iraq of isis rolling through mosul down into tikrit, out to the outskirts of baghdad will force them to reconsider. really, it's just one issue. they have to be inclusive instead of sectarian. that's what maliki utterly failed to do. he continued to drive out the sunnis. we'll see if abadi does any better. there's not being enough to include them in the government. the hope is that the very real terror threat of isis, you know, right outside of baghdad will hopefully focus their minds on the fact they just can't afford to be a corrupt sectarian government and survive. it's no guarantee, that's for sure. >> congressman adam smith, one last question. do you expect that congress may return to washington to try to vote on whether or not these strikes should continue to vote on authorizing this use of force? the u.s. military and the president just ordered the start of a new significant u.s. air war in the middle east. congre

isis threatened to kill him if the u.s. did not stop its air strikes against isis in iraq. while the u.s. has not confirmed the authenticity of the video, there's very little to doubt that isis would follow through on that threat, especially after it released a video showing the execution of fellow american journalist captive, james foley. straight to the correspondent jim sciutto. jim, first of all, while this is a big political story, terrorism, national security, it is about the loss of one young man, 31-year-old steven sotloff. have we heard yet from the sotloff family? >> heart breaking for the family. we have. it's a simple sad statement. the family knows of the video and is grieving privately. i avoided watching the james foley video for the simple reason that i felt i didn't want to have the another person tear terrorized by the group isis which is their intention. i watched this video this afternoon. a few things struck me. it struck me one, how it is aimed very much directly at the u.s. its title "a second message to america," the first being "the beheading of jam
