joining me to discuss these developments is david gregory, moderator of "meet the press." good morning. >> good morning rosemary. >> president obama says he's not putting american boots on the ground. are iraq kis likely to fight off militants? >> the president said they should be. after the huge investment of lives and training from united states principlely the iraqi government was supposed to be able to defend itself. one of the reasons they're not is because of the division in the country fostered by the leadership. ultimately the president's belief is this is a problem that iraq has to solve on its own. the big concern is whether or not we have to prevent a terrorist state from emerging in iraq. that's a concern the administration has as you see this descent and the rise of isis in the country. that is the acid test of what the u.s. does. >> this morning you'll discuss the republican parties. your guest is mitt romney. he is of course is weighing in on eric cantor's stunning loss in the primaries this week. what does that loss mean for the future of the gop? >> well i

involvement in the crisis in iraq, we're joined by david gregory host of "meet the press." david, the president announced this week the u.s. will send 300 military advisers to iraq. that seems like a big strategy shift for someone who once called the war in iraq dumb. how much push back do you expect from democrats who might fear mission creep? >> there are democrats and republicans who don't want the mission to creep forward at all. they don't want any intervention because they don't want to get involved in a civil war. neither does president obama. but i think he's trying to separate the two issues, isolating the fact that he has a terrorist threat in the form of isis that could directly affect the united states and western interests throughout europe and even the middle east. so he wants to try to deal with that threat. at the same time, really push malaki out. i think this administration would like to see a new government in iraq that would be more inclusive, getting to that point may be difficult, may take time. as i say, the president doesn't want the safe haven that

but david gregory went this anyway on "meet the press." >> will you be a candidate in 2016, if you were drafted, if the conditions were right? would you consider another run? >> david, i'm not running for president. i said that so many times. >> 100% mitt romney will not -- even if drafted, will not be a candidate in 2016. >> i'm not running. talk of a draft is kind of silly. >> then he went on to ask again. i understand why he wanted to ask. >> why? >> because politicians often hide when it comes to things like this. >> he's not running. he's run twice. he has lost. if he was going to secretly plot another run for the white house -- >> i know, he wouldn't be giving up his donors. >> he wouldn't be breaking it on "meet the press." >> he's breaking it here. >> david gregory has plenty of company on this. i don't understand why that question gets asked again and again. >> elizabeth warren about the same thing. i'm giving it a three. >> i'm giving it a two. >> ooh. >>> glenn beck has always had opinions and always sure he was right. >> the founder of the blaze did something highly unusual

he later addressed the romney movement with david gregory. >> david, i'm not running for president.said that many times. i want to find the best candidate for us to take our message to the american people that we can bring better jobs, higher incomes and more security globally. we can do it. i'm convinced the field of republican candidates i'm seeing is better positionsed to do it than i am. i'm not run aring. talk of a draft is silly. >> anybody who does shots on camera with little cowboy fences is running for president. joy reed is the host of the reed report weekdays on msnbc. i didn't hear any shermanesque response yesterday, joy, if nominated i will not run. if elected i will not serve. that's the way to do it. if you want to run, you say i'm not running and keep saying it until you are running. i heard nothing this week that didn't convince me that the man who won the first debate, the man who won 226 congressional districts who looked like he might have won at one point last time is dying to get back in the race. dying. gene mccarthy said it's easier to run for president than

how do you think he handled that particular line of questioning from david gregory?you know, craig. it's interesting. i thought he was more effective during the 2012 democratic convention for barack obama than in the sit-down interview. of course, it's two completely different formats there. as we saw in the 2008 presidential election, sometimes bill clinton was an asset for his wife. and sometimes he wasn't. i think it's a little bit when you try to defend your wife versus somebody in your own party it's a little bit more difficult and complicated. i wouldn't be surprised if she's runni inning barack obama becom bigger ally and asset in big audiences to be explainer in chief for her than her husband. because it's a little too personal when you're a husband defending your wife. >> although it will be, of course, for the first time in modern political history that you have not one but two -- one former president and the next president all potentially stumping for that president's wife. it's amazing. potential story, i guess. >> it will be fantastic. the question is wh

. >>> david gregory is moderator of "meet the press." david, good morning. >> good morning. >> i know you just spoke in an exclusive television interview with secretary hagel. kristen brought up points that have been causing concern. one of them being whether or not this does in some way constitute negotiating with terrorists. did the secretary address that? >> he did. and he denies that that's the case at all. i think the u.s.'s position on that is clear and unchanged. that there are different circumstances here. negotiating for a prisoner of war. there have been direct talks between u.s. officials and the taliban before. and, indeed, secretary hagel said it could pave the way for new direct talks in the future which may be significant for the future of afghanistan. back to this particular point, there are still concerns. you've got hardened detainees out of guantanamo. and one of the questions is, does the taliban now think this is a new modis operandi where they might be able to do this kind of thing again. are u.s. troops in danger?

david gregory, what do you have coming up on "meet the press" this weekend?. starts to look at its options and what moves the president might make. we'll drive this conversation forward. we'll speak to mitt romney exclusively as he's issuing a call to other republicans. it raises the level of criticism against president obama and his policy on iraq. >> thank you so much. >>> still ahead, how to find success in your personal and professional life. it's a question of who, not how. and up next, how should the u.s. respond to the crisis in iraq? senator john mccain joins us next. you're watching "morning joe." we'll be right back. ♪ ♪ [ girl ] my dad, he makes underwater fans that are powered by the moon. ♪ he can print amazing things, right from his computer.

president clinton defended those comments to david gregory at cgi yesterday. take a listen. i'll get your reaction on the other side. >> you have to live in the moment, not with memory. it is factually true that we were several million dollars in debt. everybody now assumes that what happened in the intervening years was automatic. i'm shocked it's happened. i'm shocked that people still want me to come give talks. i'm grateful. >> when you say you pay ordinary taxes. secretary clinton said unlike other people who are really well off who pay taxtion maybe just off capital gains, can you understand as a political matter that could strike people as being out of touch? >> yes, but she's not out of touch. >> in a followup interview hillary clinton said my husband was very sweet today. i don't need anyone to defend my record. i think my record speaks for itself. >> didn't clinton help or hurt hillary clinton there? >> one way of looking at it, if she wants to be bill clinton's -- barack obama's political heir having bill clinton explain things for her puts her in that company. th
