back into chaos less than three years after president obama pulled out our forces. key cities are back in control of al qaeda and the terror network each worse than that. iraq is in desperate need of our help and today the president says it will get some but not our ground troops. >> we will not be sending u.s. troops back into combat into iraq, but i have asked my national security team to prepare a range of other options that could help support iraq security forces and i'll be reviewing those options in the days ahead. we're also going to pursue intensive diplomacy throughout this period both inside of iraq and across the region. >> senators john mccain and army general jack kean have some advice. >> i say get a new national security team in place, you have been ill served by the national security team and the decisions that you have in place now and the decisions that you made.
