isis fighters took over it would continue to fuel their fight. all of this as calls for the iraqi prime minister maliki to resign continue to grow louder. and u.s. forces remain in the persian gulf awaiting orders from president obama about whether to start gearing up for military air strikes against the isis militants. and the question then who replaces maliki? they have risked their lives in iraq and afghanistan. but for war heroes, life back home can bring hardships. the new program is helping military vets adjust their skills. garry 10y has more. reporter: wearing a shirt and tie in an air-conditioned office is a change for garry who is used to wearing layers of body armor in iraq.
from president obama about whether to start gearing up for military air strikes against isis militants. arthel. all right. john huddy reporting from jimmy johnson, thank you. u.s. women s soccer star and olympic gold medalist has landed this jail after police say she assaulted her sister and 17-year-old nephew. officers were responding to a report of a woman who was hitting people and refusing to stop and leave. police say they found solo intoxicated and upset and they say the victims are injured. solo is now facing four counts of fourth degree domestic violence, assault. her court date set for monday. a major milestone for one of the victims of the boston marathon bombings. jeff bauman photographed in this image is now back at work. returning to a costco store in new hampshire 14 months after the attack. he described one of the bombing suspects to police following the attack.
da al sadr. he is aligned with who yesterday said u.s. military advisers being sent to iraq would be attacked. now, meantime, the al qaeda linked militants isis have reportedly taken control of a border crossing in the northwestern part of the country, and this as iraqi forces continue to battle for control of that major oil reserve also in the northern part of iraq. and this continues to be a key battleground because if isis fighters were to take control of it, that would obviously continue to fuel their fight. now, we re getting reports that the first group of u.s. military advisers are on the ground right now in bag dad, this of course as u.s. military forces remain in the persian gulf awaiting orders from president obama about whether to start gearing up for military air strikes against isis. john, thank you very much for
president obama about whether to gear up for military air strikes against the isis forces. back to you. thank you very much. well, the stakes remain quite high as the drama continues. joining us with reaction and insight, fox news military analyst, lieutenant general tom mcinurney. it s very interesting as we hear advisers heading to iraq, you have situations with the oil refinery under siege at the moment and iraqi soldiers trapped there. what does will these 300 advisers have when you have situations like that going on and the fact that these insurgents have taken over other cities? well, i don t think it will have much difference really. the fact is that they re going to be at high risk of being killed in action, wounded in action or being prisoners of war or, in fact, a green on blue, which we ve seen before. and so the risks are far higher than the returns that they ll get. it s a different iraqi army than
diplomacy but it seems the country has deteriorated in a way that diplomacy may not be the may not be what we can do right now. may not be feasible. quickly before we go to break here i want to talk to you. you wrote an op-ed in even and it said why we should exit iraq now. do you stand by that? some people are wondering if that was the wrong thing for us, withdrawing. was this a mistake? no, absolutely. i think it was a mistake to go in there. but i don t think you amplify that mistake by making mistakes now and i don t think we re making mistakes now. i would not proceed with military air strikes until we find some diplomacy that enables or forces maliki to end the sectarian violence. to unify the country, to share power. otherwise iraq is going to disintegrate. okay, governor, everyone hold that thought. we ll be back on the other side of this break.
