to doing more politically. and also the president pretty much slammed the situation there on the ground, how much money, training, time, you name it the u.s. has poured into these fighters. the government fighters and now they're not willing to stand and defend their post. the president said that is a huge problem. so they want to see something from the iraqis before the u.s. acts. of course the big question there that we seem to all be talking around is what is the u.s. going to do and what would be best? that's what we don know at this point. however, going along with what you said in the words of hilary clinton and others now that have been talking to cnn, especially on the department of defense side that when you look at doing possible air strikes, well, look at what any force would be up against. you have these fighters that are dispersed. they don't have really fixed targets or at least that anyone really knows about on the ground. we know they don't have things like military basis or air defense stations.
