Counterterrorism senator director michael l eeiqhter and what the president will say as he lays a wreath at the tomb of the unknown soldier, mikaela, he will be making remarks. We will be listening to see what he has to say. We learn e certainly will. Meanwhile, what the are the iraqis saying . Cnn International Correspondent is in baghdad. She picks up that part of the story for us. Arwa. Reporter good morning, mikaela. Those comments are causing quite a few people to say the Iraq Security forces do have the will to fight and that it was the u. S. After all that did train them. Just take a listen to what the countrys Prime Minister said to the bbc. Im surprised why he said that. I mean he was very supportive of iraq. Im sure as he was headed back he was fed with the wrong information. Nevertheless ramadi was a disaster. It makes my heart plead because we lost ramadi but we assure you we can bring it back soon. Reporter and many here do feel that this is just the u. S. Attempt to try to take away any responsibility it may have for its failed strategy in iraq by blaming the iraqi Security Forces themselves. One soldier we spoke to mikaela said he was on the front lines until the very last minute but tehran out of ammunition blaming their orders for withdrawal on an order because tehran out of bullets. But he was saying the real problem lies with the leadership of the Iraqi Security force and this was, again, an army that the u. S. Built up alisyn. Talk about all of those different responses, thanks, so much. We want to turn to Peter Barnhart hes our cnn commentator and leiutenant general military analyst and commanding general of the u. S. Army europe and 7th army. Great to see both of you this morning. So lets talk about what ash carter said. Because these have been the strongest comments to date about what went wrong in ramadi. For our viewers, lets remind them what the secretary said. Listen to this. What apparently happened was that the iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. They were not outnumbered. In fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force. So peter what do you think of his comments saying they lost the will to fight . I think the larger problem is a political problem. Right. You have a shiadominated government in iraq and you have sunni forces we are relying on to fight against isis. Those forces themselves dont have faith in the Iraqi Government they are fighting for. This is a heart of the military problem. Meaning they dont have the per convenience because philosophically they are fought aligned . Right. They may not like isis but they dont believe the Iraqi Government actually represents them and the Iraqi Government which is dominated by shias has also not been willing to support to give a lot of support to these sunni forces we are relying on. So ash carter can talk about this as a military problem lacking the will to fight. Its basically at the root a political problem that iraq doesnt have a National Unity identity right now that can ban together against isis. What do you think of that theory . Peter is exactly correct, alisyn. But there is more to it in the ramadi situation. They have actually been fighting pretty hard out there for the last 12to18 months the iraqi Security Forces along with some of the tribal members, but what i saw out there from reports im already seeing is it was just a disaster. You have a variety of forces all fighting under different commanders. You have an insertion of a Golden Division which is a very elite division out of baghdad to assist in the proping up of some of the cities. You have poor communication, bad Coordination Coalition airstrikes that arent being hit on the right location. So its a series of things. I mean if we saw aun one of these Army Training centers, wed say hey we got to train them. There is some military problems there, too. I just say one more thing. That is that the iraqi sentence ive fought with them. They are very good. Theyre courageous they will fight if theyre led properly and feel like the government is behind them. And general, i want to stick with you for one more second. What about what arwa damon reported tehran out of bullets. That seems like an easy if you have fix. Im not sure thats what happened. You certainly see a lot of isis forces taking on the weapons and the ammunitions left behind. I think its a distribution problem. Again, thats a part of command and control. You have to take the logistics you receive and make sure the soldiers get them. I dont know what exactly happened on the ground ifn that particular case. But bullets werent enough for cars driving into the cities even the bulldozers you cant fight those off with aq47s. You have to have larger caliber weapons. That a part of the problem. So its an operational, strategic and certainly a tactic am issue there. Peter, its also a political issue. So whats thenceer if. I think we will see more of people to have the u. S. Have spotters on the ground. One of the problems is although we have aircraft. A lot of times theyre not hitting anything because they dont have good targets. The only way to hit targets is to have americans on the ground to call in the strikesful thats what some of the iraqis want. The Obama Administration has been resisting it. I think the pressure is likely to grow. What would the spotters look like . How many would we need and will this turn this around . I keep hearing this we need more special operators, those could help if they were coordinated the right way. You cant truthfully put an air force spoter on the ground with a force not able to coordinate their activities. What will happen is the guys on the ground say hit that target over there. You have to clear that target before you bring the airplanes in. Thats a part of the problem. You dont know who the friends and enemies are out there. That has to come from the command and control once again. Same thing with special operators, dumping a bunch of special operators sfloo theinto the mix isnt going to do much. How do you coordinate better than what weve seen . Again it goes to peters point, you have to get the government together. They have to put iraqi commanders who are competent on the scene. That will be very difficult. Although there are some out there. There are some that will coordinate. Then you have to get the political leaders to say hey you cant have the shia militia going one place. The army ganl third the sunni another. Thats happening because theyre in a crisis. Eventually you have to get the coordination between those forces together to beef up the lines and make sure the commanders are controlling the operation. Peter barnhart thanks, so much.
