Bob's Blog: Fighting ISIS, stopping the Ebola outbreak, and problems pile up for the NFL
(CBS News) --This Sunday, we'll talk Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., and Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Mich., who respectively chair of the Senate and House Intelligence Committees. They both supported the resolution, but there are still plenty of questions about the mission, and whether U.S. ground troops will eventually be called upon to eliminate ISIS. Congress voted this week to provide limited aid to moderate rebels fighting ISIS in Syria. But now the hard part begins for the anti-ISIS coalition. Complicating matters, ISIS released a propaganda video featuring a new hostage, British journalist John Cantlie, and threatened against British involvement in the coalition.
Turning to the Ebola outbreak in West Africa, President Obama on Tuesday announced a "major increase" in U.S. aid to the region, including a commitment of 3,000 soldiers to coordinate the relief effort. As world leaders descend on New York City of the annual meeting of the U.N. General Assembly, we'll discuss what the international community needs to do to prevent the disease from spreading beyond Africa. We'll get the latest on the epidemic from CBS News' own Dr. Jonathan LaPook, and Dr. William Schaffner, the chair on the Department of Preventive Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center.
Finally, here at home, problems facing the NFL continue to pile up. Domestic violence scandals involving Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and other players have brought the issue to national attention, and the pressure is rising on NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell to enact major reforms. We'll discuss the latest developments and what this all means for the league going forward.
As always, we'll end the broadcast with some analysis from an all-star panel of experts, including former Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., former Representative Jane Harman, D-Calif., of the Woodrow Wilson Center, Robert Kagan of the Brookings Institution, and Mike Morell, the former CIA Deputy Director and CBS News Senior Security Contributor.
