and this is barack obama's big problem because not only as brett said, did he give iraq back, but then when he finds there's a problem in syria a, it's hard to get the american public behind him when he says, okay, well, let's see, let's start over again in syria. after we lost 4,000 guys and ten times that with injuries, severe injury, so, the problem that he has is this war has to be fought in the middle east. and you know, whether it's securing again iraq or going into syria, it's going to cost american lives again and his job, if he wanted to do his job, would be get the american public behind that and they are not behind it right now. >> can you see the american public getting behind another large scale troop operation? >> if there was an attack. >> if the president described why we need to be over there, this is what the other mistake that president obama has made in this gradualistic approach. he hasn't explained why he's sending troops. at least ash carter has the decency to call this a combat death, which is what it was. we've seated the middle east to iran, whether it's iraq,
