germany, the czech republic will send arms. jane arraf joins me from erbil. nouri al-maliki stepped down as prime minister. ending a political deadlock, i think you can call it, that could enable the government to tackle this islamist insurgency, as long as the new government, i suppose, this had the tribal leaders on board. >> there's an element of what they need on board, but an important one. >> the prime minister designate has three weeks to pull that together. what we are expecting is an expression of somewhat cautious opt mixes from a sunni tribe saying they are willing to cooperate if they are brought into the rose and get what they are demanding. what they demand is a range of things, from releasing prisoners from prisons, where they've been held, many without charge, from creating jobs and making them feel that they are part of the country. importantly, steven, there's a message of support from the ayatollah ali al-sistani, the religious cleric saying this could be the opportunity. >> just about everyone welcomed the fact that he stepped down, and wi

then by the early '90s was president of the czech republic. so we shouldn't think that just because some of these young people now, prominent dissidents of 2010, 2011 who helped to make the egyptian revolution, who lionized and so forth, the egyptian, the current egyptian government has put them in jail. but so, too, was habel arrested. and i don't think that we have heard the last of them. it is a remark bl journey. -- remarkable journey. i tell the story in this book of tunisia and egypt and libya over the past decade that have and a half or so, but coming almost right up to the president. i didn't want to do a quickie book in 2011. being a historian, having a little bit of perspective is thought well of in my profession, and so even -- [laughter] to write something after three years is kind of audacious on my part. but i think i've avoided some of the glib, you know, generalizations. there's kind of been generations of scholarship on these arab youth revolutions, and the first generation, you know, talked about how, well, it was mainly the

you notice right now, france, czech republic and britain are doing the same thing. they are beginning to move in and arm kurdish forces on the ground. why? because it is very much in our interest to stop them there before they come back and take the fight or -- they are very good at bombing and creating explosive devices. we don't want to see that in london, paris or the united states. >> douglas ollivant, my concern is the answer. the times addresses this of whether they fall into the category of not good people, but not exporters of terror or are they of the al qaeda stripe and pose a threat to the united states? i'm not being overly simplicity when i say my concern is if they establish a caliphate, say in indiana, not iraq. >> i don't think they want to establish a caliphate in indiana, but we have to worry about this in two senses. we have to be concerned about isis itself. the headquarters deciding it is in its interest to strike the united states. isis had a couple of good months. they are looking like the new big kid on the block. what stands between them and

president obama very early in his administration made a decision to negate the agreement with the czech republic in full on in terms of missile-defense agreements that have been made him send a strong signal to vladimir putin and russia. it embolden them. mistakes of omission can also have negative ramifications for our own national security. >> i believe some of that goes back to the bush administration when russia invaded georgia. >> we will move to the next question. this is for mr. gillespie. iran, if a satisfactory nuclear deal cannot be reached with the iranians as the israeli prime minister was saying, will you support u.s. military action to take out iran's nuclear facilities? >> well, i believe that it is important that the u.s. never takes that option off the table. oversee the preferred approach is one where you have a negotiated agreement and that is not necessary. my view is that we have to watch very closely what they are doing. time is their friend in iran. when the president set a deadline and we don't enforce that deadline and negotiations go on, they will use of the sanctions a
