do you feel as though your warnings were ignored? i think they didn t meet a particular narrative that the white house needed. i have said and i believe that the people around the president is sort of inner circle we re advising him advised him incorrectly. 49 past the hour. iraqi forces backed by u.s. led air strikes have reportedly surrounded the city of ramadi. according to ap, the troops appear to wing back the city from isis control. it could be a long siege. come monday, troops dropped warning su civilians to leave. meanwhile, the new york times reports 56 people have been arrested in the u.s. this year for helping support or plot with isis. according to a new study, that s the largest number of terrorism related arrest in a single year
about the possibility of splitting up iraq into three countries. would you support that sort of approa approach. i simply support giving the kurds their own territory. they can govern and defend themselves. the biggest mistake is that we failed to keep your promise to the kurds. we ploromised to give them arms. baghdad never delivered the arms to the kurds. we left those folks hanging and the result is thousands of them were slaughtered by isis. we made a terrible tactical era. the soonnies are not going to fight for a government out of baghdad that s influenced by iran, are they? probably not. we all understand that the soonny shia fight is as real
voters about what donald trump said in terms of the president s legitimacy as an american born citizen and some of the other things he said not just about african american children but people of other color. if donald trump wants to go to a black church for several months if he gets the nomination, goes to the black church and asks for the vote, maybe he can pick off 3%, joe. still ahead, president obama has always said he wants to close the prison at guantonamo bay. now he s the one turning down the plan. we ll explain why. plus a new acknowledgment isis is anything but contained as suspicion runs deep with americans in iraq. those stories ahead.
we should mention that this is a commander, the iraqi military dominated by shia. the western part of iraq dominated the majority soonie. so we don t understand political area and the civil war between the soonnies. we go back to what joe biden said in 2002, 2003. if we re going to solve the crisis we re going to get rid of the imagine lines and have a curd iraq and do the same thing in syria. so my daughter and i were looking at the iraq map yesterday for a project she was working on and dividing it into three when i was trying to explain it to her. it s really simple and you talk to anybody that s been in iraq more than a day and they ll tell you the soonnies will not fight for good reason.
that number is debatable. three months you can do it. but are they going to stay there after that? i know. he says you re going to have to. guess what, i was the one that said bring him home, bring him home, bring him home. you know what, we had to stay in korea. we had to stay in japan for a while and europe for a while. yes, you know what, after paris, we have to stay there. we have to keep troops there. the president of the united states learned this after iraq. that s why we re staying in afghanistan. something i was dead set against. you know what, is western civilization worth 10,000 american troops? yeah, it is. is that region of a rainy troops. that s the only way we do it if the uae, if saudi arabia either sends troops or pays for our troops, if turkey, everybody else in the region gets involved. that requires leadership.
