we are retired general richard clark and robert grener all weigh in. >> also, the other crisis in ukraine. i will talk to germany's defense minister about punishing putin. does europe have the stomach for more pressure? then how a persuasive president who loves politics got an extremely controversial piece of legislation fast. the 50th anniversary of the signing of the civil rights act. a milestone in american history. >> now in this summer of 1964 the civil rights bill is the law of the land. >> finally, how to crown a king when you're pinching pennies. spain showed us the way this week. first, here's my take. to answer the question, what should america do in iraq, we should try first to understand what's going on in the region

through a broader presence. if you would look to the middle east 15 years ago you would have seen a stream of strikingly similar regimes across the reasonable gone from libya and tunisia in the west to syria and iraq in the east. they were all repressive dictatorships. they were all secular in the sense they did not derive their legitimacy from the outside powers. it meant that the rulers were more about pleasing patrons abroad rather than incurring favor at home and they had secure uncontested borders. today across the region that structure of authority has collapsed from libya to syria and people are reaching for their deeper, older identity, shia, suny, distrusting that they would be safe under anyone else's rule. in iraq and elsewhere, no amount of american military power can

undo this tidal trend and put hu hu humpty dumpty back together. this rested on super power patronage and then one super power collapsed and the others support dictators started waivering. the countries with significant sectarian divide and in which minority groups ruled, iraq and syria, became the most vulnerable. the iraq war was the crucial trigger and the american occupation needlessly exacerbated sectarian identities rather than building national identities. but let's be honest, iraq's psy a, like the suniis protested dictators. it would be hard to sign up for

power with their former tore mentors. maliki's terror has certainly ensured that the sunnis will never trust him and they are likely never to trust the parties that they represent to rule over them. as washington supports the baghdad government, it will have to be extremely careful to not be seen as taking sides in a sectarian conflict and the press for political reform and inclusiveness even as it offers baghdad military support. washington should recognize that national harmony in iraq, everyone singing coombaya, is highly unlikely. it needs a plan b. call it an enclave strategy. the world might have to accept that iraq is turning into a country of enclaves and work to ensure that these regions are stable, terror free and as open as possible. the kurdish area is a stable success story. it will be possible to work with

countries like saudi arabia and jordan to influence the sunni groups in the middle of the country and personal them of terrorists and empower sunnis. there will be enclaves where isis and similar groups gains strength. in these areas washington will have to use drones and special forces strikes just as it does in afghanistan, pakistan and so he moll yeah. much of europe, eastern europe, went from being multi-ethnic to monoethic. 1/3 of poland was nonpolish before world war ii. 1/4 of czechoslovakia was minorities. then there was the great sorting out. the middle east has been going through its own version of this process. america can't stop a trend like this. what it can do is try to limit the fallout, support those who

believe in reconciliation and protect itself and its friends. for more go to cnn.com/fareed and read my washington post column this week. let's get started. let's get caught up on the latest from iraq. four towns between the syrian border and baghdad fell to isis. that is the sunni militant group. one of the towns it took yesterday is 62 miles from the iraqi capital. in baghdad yesterday the rifle shia sect held a show of force of its own. it was organized by a cleric made infamous by his actions during the most recent u.s. war with iraq battling u.s. forces. nic robertson is in baghdad and joins me live. nic, it feels like on the ground washington may be talking about

supporting an iraqi government, they're talking about national unity, but it sounds to me on the ground out there, this has turned into a sectarian war. is that your impression? >> reporter: the gun feels loaded for it at the moment, fareed. it's very hard to see as somebody stopping the momentum towards pulling the trigger, if you will. a few years ago when u.s. forces were here the city was happier with u.s. diplomats. they can hold more sway and hold the sides apart than looking at that against the militia and the city of baz ra in the south and many other shia militias that have been activated. it's very clear that the potential for a sectarian war is there. what we're seeing, a taking of territory by the -- essentially by the sunnis backed by isis or prompted by isis is another dimension of that, fareed. >> nic, does it feel like in

this context american military advisors or even strikes could make a difference? >> it's going to have to be a long-term strategy and certainly isis is based and where they're taking some of their weapons, where they have safe haven and sanctuary is across the border in syria in the same way the taliban can hide across the border in pakistan. any effort to take out isis inside iraq to weaken them to help, if you will, strengthen the u.s. army reclaim territory will have to necessarily include a component that strikes an isis invasive inside syria. it cannot succeed if that happens. you're looking at a long-term strategy. it's hard to see how they can provide enough intelligence and deconflict the situation on the ground that provides the weight of airstrikes. yesterday after three days of fighting a whole brigade of iraqi troops collapsed and were

overrun at the border. that gave isis and their supporters free run all the way to the outskirts of baghdad. what airstrike could stop them? what airstrike could pick them up along the way and have an immediate strong impact? it's not clear, fareed. >> fascinating reporting as always, nic. stay safe. up next, will the united states be seen as taking sides in this sectarian war? is there a way to do this right? an all-star panel weighs in. stay with us. >> announcer: sfa read zakaria gps brought to you by charles schwab. own your tomorrow. kid: do you pay him? dad: of course. kid: how much? dad: i don't know exactly. kid: what if you're not happy? does he have to pay you back? dad: nope. kid: why not? dad: it doesn't work that way. kid: why not? vo: are you asking enough questions

let's dig teeper into what the united states is doing in iraq, what it should be doing. i have a terrific panel with me. retired general anthony zinney is the commander of the u.s. central command. he oversaw all u.s. troops in the greater middle east. richard clark spent 30 years working in national security at the highest levels of government including ten years at the national security council under both presidents bush and president clinton. he is also the author of the new thriller "sting of the drone." and robert grenier was the cia's iraq mission manager from 2002 to 2004 and director of the cia's counter terrorism center from 2004 to 2006. gentlemen, welcome. richard clark, when we think about these things we often think about them in sort of technical terms, will this make the army stronger, will it make

it more effective? but my experience is that it's read on the ground in political terms. the united states is supporting the shia dominated government, we are not supporting the sunnis or we are taking sides. do you worry that this is going to be read in a sectarian way, this support? >> i do. after all, the united states refused to get involved in syria, refused to help the sunnis who were being attacked by the government in syria so it appeared we were on the side of iran and the shiias there. now if we support the government in baghdad it will be seen in some parts of the middle east that we're supporting the iranians and the shia in iraq as well at the expense of the su i sunni. we have to remember the goal here is not military, the goal is political, and it's to have a national reconciliation process between the sunni and the shia

and of course the kurds. the u.s. military should do something to prevent an al qaeda takeover of baghdad, but we have to limit what we do so that we keep our eye on the ball of the ultimate political solution that we have to try to achieve. >> mr. grenier, when you listen to mr. clark, is that doable? is it possible for the united states to kind of stay somewhat removed and as i see what he's saying, as i interpret what he's saying, occasionally get involved, really zap the bad guys when they seem to be building a terrorist training camp or doing something that could affect u.s. interests? >> yes, i think that we can have an influence there. i actually agree with dick, that the key issue is a political one. the u.s. has to be in the mix. i think that far short of having

combat troops, we can and enhance our way with the sunni tribes with the way we've had dealings in the past. i don't think we will serve our interests or the interests of any of the concerned parties with a large conventional military force on the ground, combat troops, no. but the real weakness of the iraqi army as i see it, i defer to the expertise of general zinny here, the real weakness is a tactical weakness. they have bad tactical training. managing and keeping them there at the battalion level i don't think there be enough. >> general zinny, how do you interpret the collapse of the iraqi army so far? it seems as though a lot of it is sunni troops that did not want to fight fellow sunni troops or disaffected by what they see as shia generals. in other words, again, it seems like it's not a matter of

effectiveness but it's a political issue. the army doesn't want to fight for this government or those units in the army. can that be remedied? >> i think it's important to understand what dick said. we cannot valley dade this as a religious war. should we partner with iran and accept maliki not changing and continuing the same sort of isolation of the sunnis that he has, we will do that. we will clearly be seen on one side and lose our allies in the gulf and the region. i think what has to happen is, first, stay clear of the iranians. insist anything more than the immediate emergency support we're supplying military formal lick can for maliki is clear. we have to go to our allies in the region, especially those countries that have sunni leadership, kurds, jordan, the

gulf states and solicit their help. they're going to want these guarantees on a maliki change and see that we are distancing our selves from iran. we're going to need their help in the long term to convince the sunnis that whatever reforms maliki puts in place will be enforced, will be supported by us and we'll bring them back into a holistic iraq. if not, then we're going to see three rump states which will be destabilizing for the region. >> dick clark, is it possible to imagine that we can pull off this very delicate balancing act? because what we're saying is, i think there is this general consensus, you have to do something to support this government against isis, against the al qaeda terrorist group which means you are supporting a shia dominated government that has been very tough on the sunnis. yet they're going to say we are not supporting the shia and we're not supporting this in sectarian ways.

you know, what i'm wondering is that requires a level of nuance that we may not be able to do but more importantly may not be read that way in the region no matter what we do. >> well, the president has to call the leadership of the sunni countries. he has to call the saudis, the jordanians, the amaratis and make clear we're not getting in bed with iran and not making war on sunnis, we're making war on isis, al qaeda. he has to find a way and maybe the saudis can do this for us or the jordanians to open channels to the sunnis who are not part of al qaeda. the goal here has to be the split off the reasonable sunnis and politically otherwise by the maliki government and others to say to them we don't support maliki per se, we support a

government of national unity. our problem is with al qaeda, daesh, and not with you. that's going to be difficult but it's not beyond the capabilities of the united states if we cooperate with our allies here in the gulf. >> robert, you've dealt with these people. is it possible for the sunnis of iraq to trust the maliki government even if he did make some concessions, even if he did make some outreach? if you were a sunni leader in iraq, you've watched what maliki has done for the last four or five years, are you going to buy it? are you going to be willing to get in bed with him? it just feels to me like the prospect of national reconciliation at this point is remote. >> i agree with that. i think it's going to be very, very important for a replacement to be found for nouri al-maliki. i disagree with general zinni. i think it's not okay to speak with the iranians.

jim jeffries has a nice phrase for this. he says the iranian interest in iraq is to keep the sunnis down, the kurds in and the americans out. right now nouri al-maliki isn't serving any of their agenda items. i think this man needs to be replaced. i think we have to have a substantial presence on the ground to give us the influence we need to work indirectly in conjunction with the iranians who share some interests with us to make sure there's an interest. >> it's not in our interests. i don't see how you cut and split apart support or work with iran and then in another case oppose them. i just don't see the deftness in diplomacy that we've been lacking that will pull this off. >> richard clarke, would you agree, talk with them? >> i don't think so much.

we have to be seen to have our advisors standing next to the iranian advisors on the ground. the major thing is it's not america's job to fix the middle east, it's america's job to worry about our own interests. we have to be guided by two principles. one, we want to stop al qaeda and prevent a sanctuary and, two, we want to minimize iranian influence because it is fundamentally antiamerican and it is seeking throughout the middle east to make trouble for the united states. those are two things we should go after and not worry about trying to make democracies or trying to make functioning states where that's nearly impossible. >> gentlemen, fascinating discussions. this issue won't go away so i hope we can rely on you again. >> next, the imf says it must raise its minimum wage. i have a better idea to help the working poor and it has serious bipartisan support. i will tell you about it when we come back.

now for our "what in the world" segment. the economic buzz word is

inequality. it's the center piece of president obama's agenda now. it's even inspired an unlikely best seller. people watch the growing inequality around the world and in the united states and despair about what to do. one of the most popular fixes is raising the minimum wage, and that's not just on the left. germany's chancellor angela merkel has recently supported a new wage increase as has brittain's chancellor, conservative george osborne. in the united states president obama proposed boosting the federal minimum wage to $10.10 in the beginning of the year. that's a 39% increase over the current minimum wage of $7.25. republicans have, of course, made it clear that they will never pass this in congress. this week the international monetary fund weighed in and urged the u.s. to raise the wage floor saying it is low by both historical and international standards. the federal minimum wage in america was about 38% of the

median wage in 2011, which is one of the lowest percentages among the rich countries of the world. a group of more than 600 economists signed a letter imploring the president and congress to pass a wage hike which they contend would, quote, have a small stimulative effect on the economy, end quote. truth be told, small is the operative word. it's not clear what kind of effect raising the wage would have on the u.s. economy. the billionaire investor warren buffet has made very clear his positions on most economic issues but not this one. buffet said this on cnn in april. >> i thought about it for 50 years and i don't know the answer on it. >> there is in fact a better way to help the working poor. what's more, it's something that has some bipartisan support and something that the vast majority of economists agree will make people better off. what could it be? drumroll please. buy need to raise the standings

of the earned income tax. you don't know what i'm talking about in in way, it still sounds boring. let me explain and you might be interested, too. the earned income tax credit, eitc, is a credit for people that earn under a certain threshold. if you earn under $51,567 you automatically get an extra refund check from uncle sam. so the average worker got anywhere from $2,000 to $6,000 back in 2012 depending on how much you made, whether she's married, how many kids she has. what i'm suggesting, along with many others, is that more people should get more money back through the eitc. here's why the earned income tax credit is a more effective way of attacking poverty. the congressional budget office found that if the federal wage were increased to $10.10 as obama has proposed, 19% of the gains in income would go to

workers below the poverty line. it's the intention to help them. they say 29% of the income gains would go to households that make three times the poverty level. so raising the minimum wage is a blunt tool. it helps some working poor but also helps others and, thus, is inefficient. meanwhile, the earned income tax credit ensures that money almost entirely gets to the poorest workers, to those who need it the most. it is by far the most effective way to fight poverty and reward hard work. here's the problem. it's less palatable to politicians because they can't pass off the costs to employers. they have to pay for it themselves directly through the federal government. that shouldn't matter because it's a much more effective measure. in march they proposed an expansion to cover more substantially more americans. some republicans have gotten on board.

it would be funded by closing corporate tax loopholes which would be a good thing to do anyway. the earned income tax credit is an anti-poverty tool that works. if it didn't exist, 3.1 million more children would have lived in poverty in 2011. it's a fundamentally conservative idea supported by milton friedman that eats away at inequality by investing more in working americans. can washington get over its polarization enough to say yes to a good bipartisan idea? next on "gps" the other crisis, ukraine. will germany support tougher measures against vladimir putin? i'll ask the german defense minister when we come back. ♪

this week all eyes were on iraq, but let's not forget about ukraine. the question in that crisis has been the same from the start, how to get vladimir putin to behave. how to deter russia from being more aggressive. in my view, the only way to do that is solidarity. the united states and europe speaking from one mouth. to talk about all of this and more joining me is ursula vander

lynn, the german defense minister. she is the first woman to hold that office and is often talked about as a possible successor to chancellor angela merkel. welcome, madam minister. >> hello. good to talk to you. >> do you believe that vladimir putin has been deterred? that russia is now content with the situation in ukraine as it is? what is your best information from the russian/ukrainian boarder. >> well, the annexation of crimea out of the blue, but it seemed to have been a long-term strategic plan. all of a sudden it seems so forgotten, that putin trampled

on international laws and ignored the sovereignty of ukraine so we should not forget about that. something happened that putin did not count on. all of a sudden there was a growing solidarity and unity in the west and nato, europe, and america stopped him by the means we choose that are economic sanctions. i think this is the right way to go. >> you know, the whole region isn't over. i know in finland there is this great debate about whether finland should try to be part of the nato because, you know, there have been leaks about russians talking about how if finland were to try to dare to join nato it would starred world war 3. do you think that the baltic states, finland could be defended, in the event of a

russian attack? >> the answer is yes and because the kremlin does know that. he would certainly not even dare to think about it. >> madam minister, we've learned from the snowden revelations that the nsa had a very active -- has a very active presence in germany, has about a dozen collection sites around the country. there's this large building in visbarden where it collects data. as an aftermath of all these revelations, is germany still going to cooperate with u.s. intelligence services in data collection or are you rethinking that? >> well, nsa is a difficult topic and let me put it in the right frame. i'm absolutely convinced that we -- europe specifically, germany and the united states,

we have a strong bond -- trans atlantic bond and alliance because we share the same values and we defend the same values. over and over again we have to make sure that we never forget that because we should not take it for granted, this very specific friendship. it's something very freprecious but within this friendship, yes, there has been quite a disappointment that the nsa was acting as it did in germany specifically with regard of, you know, going into listening with phone call conversations of high representatives in germany if i may put it in these terms. we've learned two things out of that. first of all, it's also matter of being dependent in germany from certain technologies, but

there is also a discussion that has to be led between our countries and i think there's a debate in the united states, too, that poses the question whether the government is allowed to do anything that is possible. so the rules by which we are playing specifically with the services are concerned have to be redefined, the balance between individual rights and of course security matters that are important for a government. and within that i think the most important thing is the transatlantic trust and confidence and friendship. we are caring for and i'm sure we're going to solve the daily problems a friendship does have, like the one you just mentioned. >> very diplomatically put. madam minister, thank you very much. pleasure to have you on.

ten days from now the united states will launch the 50th anniversary of the signing of the civil rights act of 1964. to me it remains one of the great puzzles and achievements of american history. the achievement part is obvious. the puzzle part is twofold. first, why did it take so long? it passed 101 years after president lincoln's emancipation proclamation. and, second, how did it finally get passed? to get the answers let's step back 50 years. it's hard for young people today to imagine, but back then there were restaurants and stores and cabs, mostly in the south, where black people were not served. there were separate water fountains for the two races. and as rosa parks made infamous, separate sections of buses just

to name a few. it was legal in 1964 to refuse to hire somebody because of the color of the skin or their gender. a year earlier president john f. kennedy had addressed the nation to urge action on civil rights. >> it ought to be possible, in short, for every american to enjoy the privileges of being american without regard to his race or his color, but this is not the case. >> but then kennedy was assassinated. surprisingly his successor, lyndon baines johnson, a staunch southerner, took up the cause, a cause that looked hopeless. why? here's american historian and johnson biographer, robert carroll. >> civil rights had always died in the center because of the filibuster, but this bill wasn't even in the senate. it wasn't even on the house floor. it was in the house rules committee, which was chaired by this racist from virginia, judge howard w. smith, and he wasn't letting it out. >> american political parties

were very different back then. smith was a democrat and caro says smith's southern democrats were conservative and racist and powerful. >> the southerners controlled congress, and there was -- the civil rights was boiling up on the streets of the south, there were so many heroes there. 1964 is the summer when cheney and goodman and schwerner were killed. it's the summer where all the fire hoses were being turned on the little children. they're rolling that little girl down the street. it was horrible. but the civil rights bill was a movement. the civil rights democrats didn't care what the national sentiment was. in their state, if it was a senator, the voters didn't care for that. they liked their stand against civil rights. >> johnson had a secret weapon he would wield called a discharge petition. if a majority of house members signed it, the floundering civil rights act would have to be

released from the rules committee to be voted on by the full house. first johnson had to figure out a way to get one crucial vote, charles hallack of indiana, the house republican leader who had said that anybody who signed the discharge petition would be kicked out of the republican party. how did johnson change his mind? here's caro again. >> johnson has him to his office and with hallack, he feels that what hallack really wants is nasa grants for purdue university, which is the biggest employer in his congressional district. while hallack is sitting there he picks up the phone and calls james webb and says, i'm sending charles hallack over to you. >> i'm made to do anything i can for charlie hallack. isn't there something you can do? >> i'll do every everything i can. i hope when he comes back to you -- >> he's not satisfied and he comes back to me, well then i'm

going to be talking to you again. >> yes, sir. >> okay. thank you, sir. >> hallack is satisfied and "the new york times" reports the next day all during this republican caucus members are walking out to take calls from leaders ab the republicans start to sign the discharge petition and the civil rights bill starts to get movement. >> once passed the house, it was in the senate. there was arguably a bigger hurdle there. seven years earlier strom thur mond had filibustered on civil rights for 24:18. still the longest for the longest filibuster in history. >> the senate, the central drama it seems to me is between johnson and his greatest mentor, richard russell. and i've now -- because of your book i've listened to the tape and the tapes are fascinating because you see johnson seducing russell telling him, you're the

most important person in my life. you're like my father. you've got to come to dinner. >> it's not up to me to tell you how smart you are, the son to tell the father. >> take care of yourself, i love ya, be good. >> clearly what i know from the book is the strategy and the plot is to totally undermine him and outmaneuver him and pass this bill despite russell's opposition. >> you're exactly right. you summarized it better than i could, but russell knows what he's dealing with. he tells a friend, he says, you know, we could have beaten john kennedy in the civil rights. we can't beat lyndononson. he says, he's a man who understands power and how to use it. he'll tear your arm off at the shoulder and beat you over the head with it, but he'll get your votes. we're going to lose to lyndon johnson. >> and lose is exactly what russell did. on june 10th, 1964, the senate voted to end the filibuster and soon after passed the bill. on july 2nd lyndon johnson, that

unlikely shepherd of civil rights in america, spoke to the nation before signing the bill and ended his address with a powerful message. >> let us close the springs of racial poison. let us pray for a wise and understanding hearts. let us lay aside the irrelevant differences and make our nation whole. >> with that, he signed the bill. when he signed the civil rights bill he does recognize and actually says, i have handed the south over to the republican party. >> yes, for 40 years he says, i've turned it over to the republican party. >> so he knew he was paying a terrible political price for doing what he thought was the right thing. >> yes, a terrible political price. >> thanks to the great robert caro. for more don't miss cnn's series, the 60s, a great episode on the civil rights act airs this thursday at 9:00 p.m.

"reliable sources" starts right now. good morning and welcome to "reliable sources." this morning we have a big question to answer. who are the reliable sources on the crisis in iraq? there has been a roar in recent days. i heard it all over my twitter feed from viewers who want to know who the so-called architect are now inhabiting tv studios once again giving advice about what to do this time. the truth is they never really left. the backlash was very visible as dick cheney, paul bremer and wolfwicz criticized. we saw media critics pounce saying they were discredited by iraq's decisions a decade ago.
