>> happy father's day. >> and happy father's day to all the viewers out there. thanks so much for being part of the real story. >> thanks for letting me be a part. >> islamic militants threatening to march on baghdad and as they cut a path, witnesses say they're leaving a trail of blood in their wake. we have increde bable reports of behead i beheading, shootings, militants taking over the military equipment that the united states left behind for the iraqis to defend themselves. president obama today said the iraqi regime needs more help. >> the situation in iraq carefully over the next several days. >> the iraqi regime needs more help. are we about to be drawn back into a conflict in iraq? the same people who 12 years ago told us this will be quick, this

will be easy. this will be an expensive, they will see us as liberators. it's the right thing to do, are now telling us it's the right thing to do. what's the end game? who's thought this through? comprehensive analysis ahead, so let's get to it. and good afternoon from the deck. united states will not be saving iraq on its own. that from president obama who said any help with the crisis this will not involve american boots on the ground. that announcement comes after word that a violent terror group has now overrun two more towns in iraq as it steadily marches forward. we have facts on our wall and i want to show them to you. this is called the islamic state of iraq and syria. it used to just be al-qaeda and iraq. new name, same bunch. they are sunni muslims who

oppose rival shiite muslims who control the iraqi government. it used to be that saddam hussein's bunch were unhappy. now, it's the other way around. the stated dwoel of this bunch, create a new sunni state on the border of syria and iraq with harsh islamic laws to take over the region. a goal so extreme, even al-qaeda will have nothing to do with them. but as you can see, they're taking a huge chunk of both countries. they vow to take over baghdad next, but analysts say the militants would face a much tougher fight in the capital. that's what the analysts say. many of the same analysts who talked to us about this same thing 12 years ago. in those areas, their brutal tactics seem to make them unstoppable. witnesses report seeing roads lined with bodies of decapitated

iraqi army officers. the group released several videos showing the executions. in one video, the ap reports milita militants raid the home of a police major, blindfolding handcuff and carve off his head all while uplifting hymns play in the background. the brutality has many in iraq's military on the run, or something does. a lack of motivation. we'll get to the details. we're told this amateur video shows abandoned military vehicles sitting in the street. do we have that video? could we put it up? there it is. see these military vehicles? they have been abandoned. so, these insurgents come up and either use them, take them into syria, where they can continue to war they have there because the border means nothing or they'll blow them up or use them here and they can fall right into the militant's hands. here, you'll be able to see iraqi children in the city of

moez l, turning a helmet into a toy. these are the same security forces that the united states took billions of dollars to arm and train. it was president bush who stood up and said, we will stand down when the iraqis stand up. we are going to train them. give them our traininging. gi give them our weapons. give them billions of our own dollars so they can defend themselves. what do they do? a band of about 800, marched into mosul, met an iraqi army estimated at 25,000 people. 100 versus 25,000. the 25,000 lost in less than a day. 25,000 members of the iraqi member lost in less than a day to 800 insurgents and now, they want us to come help them. we'll go through the details in the history of this in a minute. president obama said the united states will offer more stance,

assistance, but that the iraqis better make the best of it. >> our troops and the american people and american taxpayers made huge investments and sacrifices in order to give iraqis the opportunity to chart a better course. better destiny. but ultimately, they're going to have to seize it. >> they're going to have to seize it. remember that? that was from about nine years ago from another president. who said we're going to help them. going to help them stand up so that we can stand down. i'm told there are signs that the iraqis are willing to fight back. a top shiite cleric called on the iraqis to defend their country and apparently, some are listening. look at this. this is in the street in baghdad. they had been calling all people, come on out. men of any age. men and teenage boys. come on out. we're going to volunteer to fight against this insurgency. this is in a city of 7 million people in baghdad and now, they're getting instruction. come, fight, they have a half million man army that is melting so they're recruiting people off the streets.

see them? shiite iran indicates it is getting involved here. by sending iranian troops to hold off the sunni insurgents, so, in theory, we would partner with iran to support one side in what is a civil war that's been going on the whole time we've been there and now, we're going to go in and take a side. in their civil war. like we have in other countries in this region in recent years. they want us to go help out in iraq again. jennifer griffin is live at the pentagon. history is important here. and just very quick one, president bush set a timeline for getting out. president obama followed the timeline for getting out. then we trained them and asked if we could keep forces there, but they wouldn't give us an agreement and we left and now, military that we've trained has melted away. the insurgents, a small, small

number, are in there beheading people and iraq gave us the call, hey, come help us out again. >> that's where we are and if you listen to admiral john kirby who just spoke here at the pentagon, they are disappointed that the troops, 600,000, are in the iraqi army, that they folded as quickly as they did. now, in terms of pentagon planning, we are not seeing any plans come to fruition as of yet, but there's a lot of planning taking place right now to give the president options. >> they cover a wide range of military capabilities and will be designed, the president said, to help break the momentum of isil's progress and bolster iraqi security forces, but clearly, any decision to employ these processes rests with the commander in chief. >> they have stepped up the isres flying over iraq. they have been flying drones over iraq, watching isis for

so some time. >> you know, getting through iraq is like getting through any enormous american city. you don't just come to the city, boom, there it j&]is. it's looped with other cities. it's like a sprawling dallas in some ways. 7 million people. you don't just get right to baghdad. they may be 17 miles away, but that's a long way. >> sunni towns where the people didn't stay in sight. if they get to baghdad, shep, it is, that is a mostly shia town and that is where the army is the strongest. john kirby suggested the threat is real right now. of baghdad, potentially falling, but would not say whether the remaining iraqi forces could defend baghdad. these show isis drivers driving through with vehicles stolen from the iraqi military.

the military is 600,000 strong. isis fighters have just a few thousand fighters. >> i don't think they can take baghdad. i think they can cause a lot of trouble in the provinces where they've been acted. they have a back door into syria. where the heat gets turned up, they have a place to go. >> the president tried to dampen expeck tases that any military actions are imminent. the pentagon is still drawing up options for him as we speak. >> thanks very much. there's a lot more to go on this. this terrorist group has warned one of its next targets is baghdad. they've warned it, might as well expect it and our producer, chris, information specialist, i should say, has some information. >> i have just a few facts on baghdad. it's the capital of iraq, also the largest city. it was founded in 672 a.d.

>> how about 762. >> about 60% to 70% are shia muslims and reuters says there are 100 u.s. troops at the embassy. >> that's the billion dollar embassy we built there. analysts are calling this crisis the biggest threat to iraq's stability since the united states withdrew troops at the end of 2011. a sentence which is confounding because it suggests that iraq was stable. it might have looked stable. it wasn't stable. the sectarian divides did not melt away when the united states went away. and they won't melt away according to people who understand this region when ever we leave. 2014, 2024, 2050. so, what happens if the terrorists do get to baghdad? let's bring in tara miller, a former military analyst who focused on the iraq insurgency

from 2004 to 2006. so, they get to baghdad, what do they do? >> we've seen them now to create a smaller city, but still, a significant city. now, as we stated, they are pretty small in size, but have taken cities that are quite large in a shorlt duration of time. i think they would have their hands a bit fuller if they are to make it to baghdad because of the presence and loyalties and in addition, iran has sent in some troops, too. i'm not as concerneded that the fight would be as fast and swift and easy as in the northern cities, but it's very, very, very concerning what we're seeing the past few days in iraq compared to the last couple of years there. >> well, the people we paid to train weren't being paid by al maliki. they used to get a couple hundred dollars a month, but he stopped paying those who aren't on his side of the political fence over here and what did

they do? i don't know. as much as i like it here, i think if they stopped paying me after a while, i.d. become a little illusioned and go somewhere else. >> around 90,000 desertions, some people are reporting. that's a huge number. this is against the size, is quite small. i'm having flashbacks back to 2004, 2005, when i wored on iraq. this is the type of incidents we were seeing. at the height of the insurgency and the same discussions about mosques in samarra being attacked we saw in 2005. this is not like the violence we've seen in the past couple of years with the upticks. it's very, very dimpt. >> how kid we react? we decided to surge and had as many as 100,000 troops. we tamped down the violence because we were right in the middle. like kids who fight in a playground, we were right in the middle, but it's not as if they

had forgotten about this fight. we surge, made everything better and when we tried to get out, they started fight iing again. so, why do we help them now? what is to suggest they will not fight when we get out? >> i'm agreeing with what we're seeing. >> what makes this time different? >> there are a few options on the table. there can be military pressure to force some diplomatic push on the al maliki regime. also the potential that the country fragments. obama, a number of options. he can try to take out insurgents. >> i know what his options are, but what exists that suggests to us that this would be anything but a delayer. >> i'm agreeing. do you have a solution, a perfect answer? >> what i'm asking is if anyone on earth pondering america get k bag into this has seen one

single sign that this might end it. we're talking about ending a huge problem in the world, that's one thing. i just want to know which it is. >> i agree with you. i don't think there is a quick solution. i think syria is a problem because insurgents can retreat over the border. gives them a rear area to haul their positions. these are band-aid fixes. even i'd argue the surge, a ramping up of troops. that quelled violence, large numbers of troops sitting in iraq patrolling, but not solving underlying dynamics. >> all right, i appreciate it. very good of you to come in. nice to see you. >> continuing coverage after this. good job! still runnng in the morning? yeah. getting your vegebles every day? when i can.

just in to fox news, new inform bergdahl, senior defense officials say he told them the taliban locked him in solitary confinement for two years and he did not see another human face for that two years. they say he claims he only talked, he talked to his captors only through the wall of a six by six foot metal box. that was just big enough for him to stand up straight in. meantime, about an hour from now, military officials are set to reveal more details on his medical treatment in texas. they say he arrived at brook

army medical center this morning after landing in san antonio. a spokesman for his parents says they are quote, overjoyed that their son is back in america. officials have said the 28-year-old will reunite with his family at the medical center. they say he's entering the next phase of a reintegration process and there is no time for this recovery. chuck hagel is confident that the army will give him the time and space he needs. casey siegel the live and we're learning more about his condition, is that right? >> just kind of elaborating off this information that was literally just breaking while we were in the commercial break coming in there and you know, these are from again, the senior defense officials. you mention how he was kept in that box. at least that's what bergdahl told people on the ground while he was debriefed in germany. he said that in the rare instances he was taken out of that box, that he was hooded, so

he didn't really know where he was and then he said that this all started immediately after his escape effort. one official says his mental and physical state matched this description and they believe what he is saying from what we see. he knows about 30 yards of -- doesn't speak it fluently and he has started communicating a little bit more. the language spoke in afghanistan, so that gives us insight into what bergdahl may have been dealing with while in taliban captivity over the course of the last five years after he went missing from that military post in 2009. but we are expecting to learn more from this press conference scheduled to get underway at the top of the nec hour and they're going to talk to us more about this complicated reintegration process at that time. >> thank you.

the disaster in iraq is leading to political end fighting here at home. republicans are now going after president obama's response to the crisis. chris wallace is with us to talk about the debate in d.c. and i'm going to ask him, is anybody pushing back? is there anyone in congress going, wait a minute, we've been there before? do we need to be doing this? anything? or is it the right thing to do, but is anyone on capitol hill pushing back? okay, listen up! i'm re-workin' the menu.

our coverage continues on the crisis in iraq. republican leaders are demanding more details from president obama after he said he's

considering ways to help iraqi security forces. john boehner says it's long past time for our president to lay out a plan on how to reverse the momentum and the spread of terrorism in iraq, how we can do that. and a region that is crucial to u.s. national interests. as i reported at the top of this newscast, the president says the united states will not be sending in more troops. >> the united states is not simply going to involve itself in a military action in the absence of a political plan by the iraqis that gives us some assurance that they're prepared to work together. >> the president went on to say the crisis is a wake up call for iraqi leaders. let's bring in chris wallace. he's live on capitol hill. i don't know if people realize how serious this is yet. no, i'm not sure everybody realizes how serious this is yet. i'm talking about people out there. because what happened was we went to war after they told us, paul wolfowitz told us there are

no sectarian troubles in iraq. he was talking the eric shinseki at the time, remember that? they're not going to rise up against each other. there's no evidence of that. then we went in, were there for 11 year, then drew down as president bush set up a timeline and we asked to keep some soldiers there and al maliki said no to an agreement. we left. they're ringing us up on the phone asking us to come back because the half a million men we trained have melted. is there anybody pushing back? >> pushing back meaning against acti sure. nancy pelosi is. nancy pelosi says it was a mistake to get in there in the first place and we don't want to make a mistake and get back in there, but here is the point. i don't think we go back, if we

go back and we're not going to go back to anything like the 2003 invasion with hundreds of troops let alone thousands of troops. if we go back, we're not going back to try to fix iraq. the only reason that makes sense to go back is for our direct national security interests because we're talking about the possibility of a safe haven for people that al-qaeda says are too violent. people who literally crucify their enemies. name them to crosses. people that al-qaeda says are too violent. for them to set up a safe haven across a portion of western and northern iraq for which they could planter ris attacks for some of our allies in the middle east and against our u.s. hoemd. that would be a responsible reason for us to get involved and president obama made an important point. if we do it, it can om be with real political reform inside iraq because al maliki, who we left with a pretty stable,

multisectarian government, has kicked out the sunnis, has kicked out the -- has gutted the army to put in his con dant fi dants and as a result, has created an army, some of the sunni members, i'm not going to die for al maliki, a guy who doesn't like us any way. there is a u.s. national security interest in making sure that isis, the islamic state and syria doesn't have a safe haven from which to planter ris attacks. >> would it be regime changes there, that al maliki is not one with whom we can play? >> we tried regime change in iraq and it didn't work well, but i think it would mean and we'd try to get through to them and he has refused to do this for months.

some kind of political reform where he gives the sunnis a mace at the table. now, he seems to be looking to tehran to bail them out, but if you're going to avoid a civil war in iraq, you've got to have the sunnis and curds feeling the success of iraq. right now, they don't. >> how much risk is -- they say they've come over into the far east part of iran, of iraq, near the iran border, to try to help out in some cities. after all, the leadership in iraq in background is of the same sect at the iranis. >> absolutely and that of course has been one of the concerns ever since we pulled out and didn't keep a residual group of forces there, 10 to 20,000 troops at the end of our

involvement in 2011. is that al maliki would see a document figure, i need tehran to help back me. and the head of the force named silamani was apparently in baghdad this week saying hey, we'll help you out because obviously, if you're maliki, you can't be too particular about who you're going to look to to help save you politically and actually, save your neck physically. >> this sounds like the kind if they rip off his head and put it in the street like all the others. i want to ask you about a problem we see up on this wall. these insurgents have been fighting in syria and don't know boundari boundaries. they know sects. so, they're all over this area. if you go in and help them here in iraq, what happens when they just melt into syria? is it possible we have to go help them? no, i'm asking. i don't know, man. i remember being bamboozled 11

years ago. i remember it. i think it would be wrong for us to just sit around and listen and not ask any questions. >> and i'm trying to answer. >> good. >> i understand your concern and probably the majority of americans that we don't want to get that involved in that quagmire in the middle east. sometimes not acting can have a bigger price than acts. a lot of people say we should have gotten involved in syria several years ago and if we had and backed the rebels before syria became a kind of collecting point, maybe they wouldn't have formed isis. maybe they wouldn't have grabbed control of northern syria and gone over and taken control of that broad swath that you have on that map that shows what a huge islamic state they have created for themselves.

a radical islamic state. mike rogers says this is a bigger, that crossed hash area you're showing, that is controlled by isis. the islamic state of iraq and syria, more radical, more violent, more dangerous than al qaeda. mike rogers says that is a greater terrorist threat than pro 9/11 afghanistan. i understand we don't want to get involved in iraq, but if only as a counterterrorism measure, we've got to kill some of those guys. >> i'm guessing this will be part of your focus this weekend. >> when you started to say people don't understand how serious it is, i completely agree with you. this is a biggest story in the world right now. a threat to the middle east and the united states possibly. we'll have the chairman of the house intelligence committee, a live report from the region, the

late e on the situation in the house with the defeat of eric condition tor. greg walden, a moderate republican, tom price, one of the tea party republican, then our power player of the week, robert denero on father's day. >> i look forward to seeing that. >> thank you, sir. i understand and share a lot of your concerns. >> i think, i think the media will operate differently this time than it did last time. i hope we do. >> always good to ask questions. >> yep, i love asking questions. and it's good to look to history, too. we're going talk to -- from the brookings institution. i look forward to speaking with him after the program. i was reminded by john busy, a bright guy from "the wall street journal" who was on the set the other day, vietnam fell in about five days. that the troops just started melting away and it was over and then two years later, it was two

years later that the helicopters came in to try to get all of our people out of vietnam because president bush had gone to congress and said, we need money. we've got to get back in there. congress said no. congress said no.

continuing coverage on the quickly unfolding disaster in iraq. a disaster that could have serious ripple effects in the middle east and around the world. iran's getting in the middle of it. signalling it would be willing to deploy troops to its neighbor. much of it comes down to the religious fighting that's crippled parts of the middle east for longer than any of us can remember. iran of course is shia and so is iraq's now prime minister. the terrorists trying to overrun iraq are sunni so now, iran and iraq have a common goal. even though they were at enemies at war with each ore in the 1980s, get to connor powell in

our mideast news room. fill us in. >> well, iraq's political leadership right now falls in the iranian shia spear of influence and which is why so many sunni iraqis are so marginalized. as a result, many of the sunni iraqis are turning towards these fighters coming in from syria. iran's official news agency said that tehran's powerful revolutionary guard is ready to join the fight and protect baghdad and they're not there yet. iraq's military is in shambles, they are desperate in need of help. iraq's leaders are also looking towards the u.s., putting america in a very odd situation. if the u.s. intervenes, it would do so on the same side as iran, battling the same rebels fighting the assad regime in

syria. there are no good answers for what the u.s. should do. either way, they're battling al qaeda linked groups or coming in on the same side as iran. >> thank you. up next, we'll speak with an analyst about what this means. we'll turn to michael o'hanlon and ask what it means if the united states gets involved, if the united states suddenly aligns with iran to bring down these militant fighters? what happens if before we can move, these militant fighters go in and capture background? is that really possible? can a u if thousand people really overrun the capital of iraq, a city of 7 million? is that even possible? are we getting the whole truth on this? i ask because last time, we did not get the whole truth. remember?

traitors because traitors are killed. it prohibits women from leaving the home unless absolutely necessary and when they do, they must quote, dress discreetly and wear wide clothes. they're cutting people's heads off and laying them on the side of the road. let's bring in michael o'hanlon. >> thanks for having me on. >> help us understand what's happening. >> you've been doing great kovrmg and very vivid imagery, which underscores this group to al-qaeda. this is the real thing. you also i think a moment ago likened them to the taliban and i agree with that as well. reminds me when they took power in the mid '90s. they almost plunlged into an anarchic environment. this was a group that just preached pureness in its own

twisted, distort ed way. that's the same thing isis is doing. the fundamental problems are twofold. one, is growth of this group through sanctuaries in syria, now in iraq. the political dysfunction in iraq and the lack of any support prime minister maliki has managed to sustain in the iraqi government, which means the iraqi army just melted away, rather than fight a few thousand extremists. of course, that's extraordinarily worrisome. i think the iraqi units from the center and south of country will do better and i'd be surprised if any big cities from background on south are taken, but we could still see worse terrorism, insurgency about a hard fight to take mosul back. >> help me with the logic of us trying to help in some way. >> we should be scared of al qaeda for our own self-interest

and security. people try to parse whether this or that affiliate is interested in attacking the united states or not. and it's true that as a tactical matter and as a practical matter, different groups will have different ambitions, but their ideology as you just pointed out, is so -- to us and tends to be extraordinarily antichristian, antijewe antisecular and they're going to target a broader swath of humanity when they get a chance, so, anytime al qaeda has large sanctuaries on this planet, i sleep a little less well at night even in my own bed in the united states eastern. >> they were funding themselves in large part the way cells of the mafia have. they have organized crime within cities and were shaking people down for money. as they were marching to the

north of iraq, they knocked over a bank. got $420 million. the best funded terror group in the world. >> yeah and they have access to some of the weaponry that we've helped the military and police forces build up. >> our weapons. >> you put it together and they're just going to have to be defeated on the battlefield and it's going to be a hard fight. i have no issues with president obama's framework that president obama put up today, the basic notion that we're considering doing various thing, but we're not going to put american boots on the ground. i might suggest keeping the option of some special operators as one of of our possibilities. fundamentally, the iraqi political system needs to change. i believe maliki should be pressured the step down. not sure we can pull that off. i think he's lost all credibility among sunni and curds and the only real way to

fix this is with a new prime minister. even if you can't get that, you've got to restore the proper functioning of the ministries of int interior and defense. you've got to restore some of better sunni military leaders within the army and police. if that doesn't happen, i'm not sure our help can do much and i'm not sure if we can provide in. >> i got to go in a minutes, but is it possible this group of just a few thousand could actually take baghdad? could overrun the central government? is that'ven possible? >> i'd be surprised, u be it could carry out assassination, set off big bombs in background. it could try to spark a civil war in baghdad. just like sahr c-- so, even thip of 3 or o 4,000, it sparks the civil war that involves the masses.

so i think all those things are quite possible. >> look at the map. on the left hand side, syria is in a civil war and has been for three years. these are some of the same people fighting over there. the syrians don't think like li syrians any more than the iraqis think like iraqis. they think like sunni and they think like shia. that's what they are fundamentally. it seems like maybe it's possible with military and putting in a puppet government and all that sort of thing we might be able to delay it but is this just inevitable? >> it's a great question. i think that syrians and iraqis were willing to be syrians and iraqis at one point. once you get people this paranoid, this angry and this inflamed then it's pretty hard to put humpty-dumpty back to the. i'm in favor and ready to see a federal structure, soft partition of either or both countries. that's a viable proposition. but it's hard to get people to agree to do that. you've still got to have some kind of agreed framework for how you implement it and how you have a shell of a loose central government. yeah, they may be reverting to

the sunny, shia identities unless we're willing to redraw boundaries and that's going to be pretty hard to do, i think soft partition or federalism is the best option to keep out there. >> michael owe hanlon. thank you. so i can reach ally bank 24/7 but there are no branches? 24/7 i'm sorry- i'm just really reluctant to try new things. really? what's wrong with trying new things? you feel that in your muscles? yeah...i do... drink water. it's a long story.

well, not having branches lets us give you great rates and service. i'd like that. experience a new way to bank where no branches = great rates. ally bank. your money needs an ally.

the crisis in iraq could make us all pay more for gas. iraq's one of the world's biggest oil producers, of course, and oil prices are on the rise. take a look at the spike in the barrel of crude oil in just one day. up two bucks yesterday. peter barnes is live for us at the white house. what are administration officials saying about this part of the puzzle? >> well, the president actually was asked about any possible disruptions to world oil supplies because of the situation in iraq. the jihadists who have had this basically a blitzkrieg through the country just in the last few days. the president said we have not

seen any major disruptions in supplies as yet, but obviously if the isil were to obtain control of major outputs, major facilities in iraq, that could be a source of concern, and he said, however, that there could end up being other producers in the gulf that could pick up the slack. and, in fact, at an opec meeting this week in vienna opec members indicated that they were standing by to take up any slack, should, quote, there be any developments that might jeopardize oil markets. >> peter barnes at the white house. peter, thank you. how much money do you think you'll need when you retire? then we gave each person a ribbon to show how many years that amount might last. i was trying to, like, pull it a little further. [ woman ] got me to 70 years old. i'm going have to rethink this thing. it's hard to imagin how much we'll need for a retirement that could last 3years or mor so maybe we need to approach things dferently,

if we want to be ready for a longer retirement. ♪ mayo? corn dogs? you are so outta here! aah!

on this day in 1966, the united states supreme court handed down a landmark decision in the case of miranda versus the state of arizona. the ruling, police have to inform suspects, in custody, of their rights before the police can question them. ernesto miranda had confessed to kidnap and rape. but he said later that he was unaware that he could have just shut up. the high court ruled that police violated the fifth amendment, which protects against self-incrimination. now the reading of a suspects rights bears miranda's name. but you first had the right to remain silent, by law, 48 years ago. when news breaks out, we will break in, because breaking news changes everything on fox news

channel. the dow, well it ended better than it started. we were down a little bit in the 10:00 hour and it's been up a little bit for the rest of the day. still close to 17,000. the crisis in iraq is our focus and when anything changes we'll come right to you. >> all right. thank you very much. this is san antonio, texas, what you're looking at here. military officials about to update us on the reintegration process for sergeant bowe bergdahl. we are on it. first i have senator john mccain here with me to react. a man who knows a thing or two about being a war-time prisoner. almost seven years. sergeant bergdahl five. we're told, senator, what we're getting right now, is that he was in solitary confinement for the better part of two years in a 6x6 foot cell. he was often hooded. couldn't speak to anyone. these are some of the dribblings we're getting out. >> well, obviously, went through
