what s great is we all agree that the current situation can t no stand. we ve got to deal with isis. that s important. would you say that president obama needs to make the case both here at home to the american people, to congress, and to our allies that we need some kind of intervention? it s a case he did not make in syria, he didn t make it at home, to congress or let s focus on isis. this is about a terrorist group taking over ungoverned territory. in both sir why and iraq. and the way you build and world willpower. you engame countries on their common interests. this is one of those unusual situations where countries have a common interest. so, yes, he needs to do that.
making the note that these forces are coming into iraq with the understanding of the iraqi government, the support of the iraqi government. the president meeting with his security team to go over the options for iraq. so in effect, the president acknowledging in this let tore congress, these potentially could be combat troops. will they have immunity from any i rack ki prosecution? as you remember, that was a big issue when all of the u.s. troops withdrew at the end of 2011. reporter: i think that is unclear at this point that that is a key sticking point. that is why the white house says u.s. forces are not on the ground in baghdad or were not left in baghdad as a residual force as the president pulled those forces out of iraq in 2011. it as we understand, one of the other options that the president is looking at is deploying force to iraq to provide training to iraqi security forces. it s a question that will have to be worked out. 275 u.s. troops going to
and push the sunnis away from us? i understand why you re asking the question and i think there s real merit in asking these sorts of questions before we make any decisions. we need to understand how to bring the sunnis back into the iraqi government. the problem is we have very little leverage in iraq because we left everybody out to dry. we don t have to ie agree about that. i can tell you that that s the perception in iraq. so the sunnis feel that we left them, maliki feels we left them. there s not a lot of trust. one of the ways we re going to rebuild the trust is doing something about isis. sunnis are going to be the victims of isis as shiite. we ve got isis in iraq promising to deliver the next 9/11 in new york. the president claimed that al qaeda is decimated. he s returning the detained terrorists from gitmo. and it feels like on our side at least the war on terror is alive
but i will stay that in an unstable situation when there is a power vacuum, we pulled out and the iranians pulled in. it was created when we went in you cannot argue. you want to start the clock in 2011? joe biden said in to 11 that iraq could be one of the obama administration s greatest successes because of the stability of the region. now there s instability and it s bush s fault? i believe somebody said we would be greeted as liberators. we made a choice both in afghanistan an iraq to go to war. in both cases wes wer taking out big enemies of iran, no friends with the taliban and islam. on the iraq side, the consequences have been dire because it s empowered and enabled iran inside iraq, and
guests who disagree about what s next in iraq. ie isis continuing its killing spree, secretary of state john kerry s solution seems to be call iran for help? look. we re open to discussions if there s something constructive that can be contributed by on rab, if iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of iraq and the ability of the government to reform. seriously. here s just three reasons why this is absurd. one, iran s only objective in iraq is to prop up a shiite regime. talking to iran is the fastest way to send the sunnis running straight into the arms of isis. there is the same regime we re negotiating a nuclear deal with even after their leader bragge on duping the west on deals in the past. and the same aran, these are the guys we trust? the dubs will say there s no
