From washington. Gather a coalition and the president has made that clear. His Administration Officials have made that clear that to expand this mission you into syria on isis targets, they want to have a coalition thats ready to go to deliver that sort of military action and we can tell you in just the last couple of minutes in a Conference Call with reporters that is happening right now, as a matter of fact, the Deputy National security adviser to the president , ben rhodes, just told reporters that the president and Prime Minister, David Cameron, did talk about the isis threat to and from a couple of events this morning. They had a bilateral discussion in which they talked about the threats posed by isis. And wolf, as you can see, these two leaders are very much becoming a duo in terms of providing leadership when it comes to dealing with the isis threat. The president and Prime Minister cameron put out that oped in the british newspaper this morning saying that the United States and britain will not be cowed by terrorists, but there are other meetings going on. Interesting to note that the president did sit down for a meeting with King Abdullah of jordan. The president has said he wants to line up regional partners in the middle east to take on the isis threat. So it doesnt just look like the west coming into the middle east to go after those terrorists. And so i think thats also interesting. We dont have a full readout of that meeting. We expect that to happen later on. Then, of course, you mentioned the crisis in ukraine, the situation with russia. There was a very interesting meeting, even though ukraine is not a part of nato, the leaders of the United States, great britain, france, italy, germany and president Petro Poroshenko all sat down at a table behind closed doors. The cameras went in for a few brief moments, didnt pick up much, but they were, of course, all stating their united support for ukraines sovereignty and standing against that aggression that has been taking place in eastern ukraine. You know, one thing that we are wondering, you know, coming out of this meeting, wolf, is whether or not president obama will lead with some sort of International Cooperative agreement stating there might be some sort of coalition that will go after isis in syria. Interesting, wolf, that anders fog rasmussen said he thinks it is the international communitys responsibility to go after isis. So another Good Development for the president in that regard as well. Stand by, jim, because i want to bring Nic Robertson into this conversation. As jim pointed out, there is this oped that the Prime Minister of britain, the president of the United States, they had a joint byline. Let me put it up on the screen. We will not waver in our determination to confront isil. If terrorists think we will weaken in the face of their threats, they could not be more wrong. Countries like britain and america will not be cowed by barbaric killers. Nic, you had a oneonone interview with Prime MinisterDavid Cameron. What did he say to you specifically about this isis threat . Reporter you know, wolf, he had a lot to say. And one of the things i put to him, i said, look, this is isiss not part of the main part of this agenda, this summit. He said, look, this is something thats going to get talked about. We just heard there from jim getting a briefing, conversations between president obama, David Cameron in the margins about isis. We can expect more of that. These leaders will have a banquet in Cardiff Castle tonight. They will discuss it more around the table there. I asked Prime Minister cameron, in the light of what president obama had said in estonia yesterday, i said, look. President obama has said that isis should be destroyed. But he also said that they should be reduced to a manageable problem, shrunk to a manageable problem. I asked the british Prime Minister, what should it be . Should it be destroyed or shrunk . This is what he said. Destroyed, squeezed out of existence is the way that i would put it. But we should be clear what were facing here, is this islamist extremist narrative, poisonous narrative. It isnt just in iraq and syria. Weve also seen it in somalia, in mali, of course in afghanistan when hosted by the taliban. So this is a generational struggle. Reporter now, Prime Minister cameron also there talked about King Abdullah of jordan, how important it is to support him militarily and other ways. He has isis on his doorsteps in iraq and syria, both bordering jordan. He also said when i asked him, is britain prepared to conduct air strikes to target isis in iraq and syria, he didnt commit to that. He said it wasnt ruled out, but his language led me to believe this may be a little further down the road for the british Prime Minister than perhaps it is for president obama right now, wolf. Nic robertson on the scene for us, thank you. Jim acosta, thanks to you as well. Were also learning more now about the white houses decision to send additional u. S. Troops to baghdad. Lets bring in our pentagon correspondent, barbara starr. Were talking about another 350 u. S. Troops being sent to baghdad, bringing the total now to more than 1,000, i think, u. S. Forces, activeduty military personnel now deployed to various partsiraq. So what are you learning about this new commitment . Wolf, what u. S. Officials are telling us is when they looked at the intelligence assessment, it showed them that isis, indeed, had the capability basically to penetrate the International Zone in baghdad. Thats that highsecure area where the u. S. Embassy and other installations are located, known for many years as the socalled green zone. That isis had the capability to get inside that secure area and potentially launch attacks against the embassy. They werent looking at necessarily the scenario of isis storming the gates, trying to take the whole embassy, but isis has the capability to potentially launch suicide attacks, bomb attacks, car bombs, bombers with suicide vests, all of that. So the decision was made at the behest of the state department that they needed additional security. And now about 350 troops, about onethird of them already there now going to baghdad. They will be split between the embassy, the u. S. Operation at baghdad airport, and maybe even going up north to erbil if its required. So its just really beginning to underscore how much the u. S. Is being is prepared to defend u. S. Resources in baghdad, u. S. Personnel in baghdad. This is another indicator, i would say, this is turning now to be a very longterm situation. Wolf . Yeah, its going to go on and on and on. What about the specific threats . Are there specific threats against the u. S. Embassy in baghdad which, as you know, is a huge, huge embassy . I think its the largest one in the world. Specific threats to u. S. Personnel, diplomats, military personnel in the iraqi capital . You know, wolf, at this time, the sources were talking to in the u. S. Government say there isnt a specific direct threat against the embassy complex. But we are in that postbenghazi era when the u. S. Has heightened concern for all embassy installations around the world. And really in this era, its all about taking those protective measures in advance. You know youre in a highthreat situation in baghdad. Theres no question about that. So put the extra people in, be prepared, and be able to repel anything that may come your way. Its one of the biggest issues right now for both the u. S. Military and the state Department Around the world. Protecting u. S. Installations in these very highthreat areas that seem to be multiplying every week. Wolf . Yeah. In recent days, u. S. Officials have said to me, given the fact that there was an attack on a u. S. Diplomatic compound, the consulate in benghazi on the anniversary of 9 11, and that anniversary is coming up next thursday, one week from today. They obviously, in an abundance of caution, theyre taking prudent steps to make sure that u. S. Diplomats around the world are going to be protected as best as they possibly can. Especially in baghdad. Barbara, thanks very much. When we come back, iraqs president opening up about the new u. S. Troop deployment to baghdad and reveals what he needs from the United States and how to destroy isis. Christiane amanpour with the new iraqi president. Thats coming up next.

Iraq is now looking to nato countries to help counter the threat from isis. Today the president is the new president of iraq talked about that and other daunting challenges facing iraq during an interview with Cnns Christiane Amanpour joining us from london right now. What did the new president of iraq tell you about what he wants the United States, other nato allies to do about isis . First of all, he said he was really pleased by what president obama said, that now they are determined to confront and to stop isis, determined to degrade and destroy, in president obamas words, and to stop the threat not just to iraq but elsewhere as well including the United States. Those were the president s words. So he said he was really pleased about that. And then he told me and we can play a little bit of the interview he told me that they really did need help and have a broad sort of coalition kind of strategy to confront this menace. Translator if there is cooperation and coordination between iraq and the United States and the neighboring countries, i believe that the position can be quickly wiped out. The head of nato, mr. Rasmussen, says that iraq, your government has not yet requested specifically help from nato. Are you going to ask for that help . What kind of help do you want . Translator from here and through this interview with you, i request support to iraq, support for iraq to fight those terrorists because iraq now is in a fragile situation, very vulnerable situation. And when that organization defeats iraq, it can proceed to other countries. But thorough our relationship with the United States of america and the coordination with the United States as well as european allies, we will discuss that. But regarding nato, it is true that we havent yet asked formally for military help. But we ask the states that are members of nato for help. So you can see hes clearly asking in a very elaborate manner for help. Also when i specifically asked when he said we need retraining of our army which to the ears and eyes of Many Americans might seem strange because as you know, over the last 12 years, the u. S. Has spent billions of dollars trying to stand up that army. But nonetheless, he says we need it completely reformulated. And interestingly, wolf, he confirmed to me that it was iranian militias along with iraqi forces supported by u. S. Air power that. Soed and relieved the siege of that town of amelie in iraq a few days ago. We learned that the pentagon agreed, christiane, to spend 350 additional u. S. Troops to baghdad to protect the embassy there after intelligence assessments shows that isis potentially has the capability to launch an attack against the u. S. Embassy compound in the socalled secure green zone. Did the president of iraq, president masum, did he say that he wants more u. S. Troops on the ground, boots on the ground, if you will, in iraq . He didnt, actually. Obviously, those forces have gone for the security that you mentioned. But i specifically asked him about, look, you know, a lot of people attribute the troubles in iraq to the 2003 war. And now a new american president , another american president who wanted a stop to all that is considering a new coalition for iraq to get rid of isis. Do you want boots on the ground . And he said no, we want all sorts of other help but not boots on the ground. And critically, he said that he believes that a new government will be announced and will be formed within the next few days, he told me, one or two days. And that, as you know, is the very critical political component to have an inclusive government to pull in those disaffected sunnis to try to head off this fuel that that dysfunction is giving to isis. Christiane amman poanpour, t very much. Just ahead, the Vice President of the United States, joe biden, vowed the United States will follow isis, quote, to the gates of hell. But does the Obama Administration have a strategy to do that . And has Vladimir Putin made nato relevant again . Were going to talk isis, ukraine, politics, a lot more. David gergens standing by.

Share your rescue story and join us in building better lives. One rescue at a time. President obama and other nato leaders convened a twoday summit today facing what seems like a world in turmoil. The threat from the terrorist group isis certainly a major focus of the nato summit. Its now under way in wales. And president obama is under intense pressure here at home to lay out a clear, decisive strategy for confronting isis. Our senior political analyst, david gergen, is joining us now to talk a little bit about that. David, as our viewers know, youve advised four u. S. President s. We need to hear the criticism of the president , a clear message on what he plans on doing to deal with isis. How important is it to hear that from the president . Its critical. You know, one of the lessons we learned from vietnam way back when is at first you commit the country, and then you commit the troops. And if you do it the other way around, you find the Public Opinion can slip away from you very, very quickly if something goes wrong. So if we really are going to embark upon a mission as the president himself said yesterday and then his defense secretary reiterated here on cnn, if the mission is to degrade and destroy the capability of isis, thats a big deal. Its going to involve troops, a lot of air strikes, probably in syria, rounding up a lot of allies. Hes going to need the country with him, wolf, on this. My working assumption is this. For the next 24 hours, hes going to be with our nato friends. At the end of that, there will be a press conference tomorrow, and well hear what has emerged from this nato conference. He will then come back to the United States, begin consulting with congress more, you know, more rapidly. And then i think sometime next week, he is likely to go to the country and s
