Long been simmering there. That has created folder abilities within the Iraqi Government and in the Security Forces. Any action that we may take to iraqie assistance to Security Forces has to be joined by a serious and secure effort asideqi leaders to set sectarian differences, promote stability, and account for the legitimate interests of all iraqs communities and to build an Effective Security force. We cannot do it for them. In the absence of this type of lyrical effort, shortterm military action, including any assistance we might provide, wont succeed. This should be a wake up call. Iraqs leaders have to demonstrate a willingness to make our decisions and compromises. Hard decisions and compromises. In that effort, they will have the support of the United States and our friends and our allies. Have someghbors responsibility to support this process.

Absolutely not, no. Why not . When we left iraq in 2011, we left Iraqi Security forces at a level of competency, particularly on counterterrorism, that we believed was appropriate to the threats that they faced. And i would remind you, not that i probably dont need to, but a lot of a lot of blood and treasure that went into giving the iraqis that opportunity. A lot of young men and women didnt come home, giving them that opportunity. And i know secretary hagel believes that that is exactly what we did, but that was three years ago and to some to a degree, the Iraqi Government has to speak to the proficiency of their armed forces.
