Listening to the president of the United States, outlining what the white house will will do. Saying this the quite will not choose sides between the conflict in the country, saying that iraqi leaders mulled step up and do what needs tock done, saying there will be 300 troops on the ground, but saying that lit be support and intelligence gathering only, not what would be considered boots on the ground, saying that he would not engage in a war of word
