of defense robert gates. we could allow military trainers and military advisors to serve with iraqi soldiers in the field. this would prove strategy. itok would improve morale. they could serve as spotters for air strikes which was a big problem for ramadi.c gates also thinks we should letñr trainers and advisors serve with n iraqi sunni forces. i think this could help us stop the gains by isis and maybe reversehose gains. i got to say this will only help us in iraq. the situation in syria is much more serious. >> i know, itis. that seemsxdw3 aj- you heard wesley clark say therew3 are dangers of more americans going there. that's what the radical islamic terrorists want. >> i completely disagree with that. frankly, the parties in iraq are afraid of isis. the sunnies are afraid of the iraqi government. theñr shiite government. limited american presence, not a combat presence, could make a

difference. i mean, i hear what wesley clark is saying. i just think he's trying to defend the obama administration's nonpolicy for iraq. >> you think 3,000 on the ground now, they really can't get engaged in combat issues. but as you said, having spotters, is there a number that you would put on it in terms of howmany special ops we should have? >> i think we needçó more. i don't know what the number would be. i also add that part of the strategy has to be changing the number of air strikes and we've had stories on this network about pilots are"c thatç they're juçç allowed to hittqw3 targets that they need to hit.@ if!gehadi]ç better spotters and more air not havemy fallen. >> you talk about the pilots complaining. did you see thisñr editorial in investors business daily? let me read it about the islamic state. quote, islamic state is made astonishing territorial gains thanks to an inspired "isciplined, smartly crafted strategy. u.s. forces are myered in a bureaucratic paralysis, now
