I think the president has tried to thread a needle, and it s not been easy. and that needle, for a lot of people, still i come back to it is, let them deal with their own needles and perhaps keep a better eye on who the victor is. when we come back after the break, i want to have rick francona weigh in on what s next then. maybe it s 100 special ops now, but then what? what if they need help? something called mission creep. we ve been there before, we ve seen it before. the president is about 20 minutes or so away from his big announcement. we are assuming it has to do with the proposal from the pentagon to send these special forces. will he? won t he? and is there more to it? and our own anderson cooper is also standing by live in baghdad. he s going to give us a special report in just a moment as well. we ll be right back. ybe you lefm in the bathroom again. it s just the strangest thing. the warning signs of alzheimer s disease, ....

From isis. let s go to baghdad now, if we can, where our own anderson cooper is. anderson, tell us about the security situation in baghdad that will await that is awaiting these special operations forces should president obama give the go order? reporter: yeah, the security situation is extraordinarily tense, extraordinarily tight. i was driving around today to get anywhere now is harder than i ve seen it in years. i mean, there are checkpoints probably every several blocks or so. they re certainly military or police or other security units on just about every block in baghdad. nevertheless, there are still bombings going on. three bombings today. at least three people killed, more than 15 wounded. so there are cracks in the security. but i ve really never seen it as tense, as kind of well covered as it has been right now. and it really does raise questions about whether this has bought some time for the obama ....

Administration to plan what they want to do. a lot of the inroads, the fast movement that isis forces and sunni supporters have been able to make are predominantly sunni areas in the north and elsewhere, even in the weren t part of baqubah. but as you get closer to baghdad, more shia-controlled areas, there are more motivated fighters here certainly in the iraqi military, shia fighters and also now tens of thousands of vol tuunteevolunteers, some training over the last several years fighting for bashar al assad in syria who have returned to fight isis. you don t hear people in baghdad itself worrying about this city falling. nevertheless, the situation is very tense here, jake. anderson, the last time i was in baghdad, there was a big debate in the american media whether to call what was going on in iraq a civil war since the sectarian conflicts between shiite and sunni and kurd was so ....

We re keeping a live eye on it. anderson cooper is in baghdad and retired lieutenant colonel, also worked for the cia. we re going to talk to both of you starting with anderson on the ground. when this announcement came out this morning and top-level sources telling cnn that these special ops are likely to be placed in depots all around, not just in the green zone or baghdad or far away from isis, right in the thick of it because they ve got to be placed with iraqi military brigades in the headquarters. what is the stability of these places? are they sitting ducks if they end up in those locations all around iraq? reporter: you know, i think that s a really interesting question to zero in on and to hone in on because for the last several days, there was a lot of focus from observers saying, you know, any forces that were sent were going to be sent to the embassy, were going to be sent to the green zone, were going to be operating out of there. but clearly to be effective l a lot of t ....
