david: it is worrisome. as we say, the enemy gets a vote. that's what's happened in ramadi. this is both an operational and strategic setback. i think we will regain the initiative on the ground in iraq, but this is a moment where you sit back and say, what we need to do in the military arena. what, also, doing it to do in the political arena. you have to make the gains on the battlefield. isis is almost a conventional military force right now. but the center of gravity is in baghdad, and that's where we need to look in particular to make sure we have the right military structure to complement the embassy. who is there to work with the ambassador? do we have the right people there to enable those iraqi leaders who will bring about the political change? this is about having a new awakening. that also has to take place. charlie: is it a threat to the united states? david: well, clearly, isis is a threat to the united states. it is also into north africa trying to recruit in afghanistan and pakistan. charlie: when you look at what is necessary to do, it you say we need a new st

david: it is worrisome. the enemy gets a vote. that is what has happened in ramadi.raqi forces lost the provincial headquarters and headquarters of the and bar operational command. this is an operational and strategic setback, a significant one. i think ramadi will be retaken. this is a moment at which use it back and say, what do we need to do in the military arena, what do we need to do in the political arena? you've got to make the gains on the battlefield, on the front rounds -- lines. isil is almost a conventional military force, but the center of gravity is in baghdad. we need to determine to we have the right structures, the military structure to complement the embassy the diplomatic structure, who is there to work with the ambassador, do we have the right people in the right organizations to enable those iraqi leaders who are inclusive and who will bring about the kind of political change that brings sunni arabs back into the fabric of iraqi society? this is about having a new anbar awakening. that is what has to take place even as we take the fight to the en

david kerley on capitol hill for us. >>> overseas tonight, the battle for control of iraq. days after iraqi fighters vowed to take back the stronghold city of ramadi from isis. new images tonight showing iraqi aircraft unleashing air strikes on suspected isis targets. a hideout. we learned 2,300 u.s.-issued hum sleep vies felled into the hands of isis. >>> right here in new york city tonight, new images of that terrifying accident on a busy city street. look at this. a plume of smoke where a 12-ton air can being unit plunged 30 stories. this image of the aftermath. ripping a giant hole through that ceiling. tonights saying pedestrians, drivers on the street below dodging a bullet. abc's tom llamas on the scene. >> reporter: eyewitnesses say when it hit, it sounded like a bomb creating this huge dust cloud. >> something just fell. >> reporter: this is what fell from the sky -- a industrial ac unit nearly 12 tons. the street covered in glass, steel, even office chairs that fell out of the damaged building. >> i hope nobody's hurt. and there's the crane man. holy [ bleep ]. >> reporter: inside of this crunched car, a couple that came just inches from

ramadi in iraq and the city of palmyra in syria. by mid-summer, u.s. forces in iraq will have grown from 275 a year ago to more than 3500. david martin reports on this significant change in tactics. >> reporter: the 450 americans gl to a base in anbar prof toins advise and assist the battered iraqi army division. that unit includes many of the same soldiers who last month panicked in the face of massive suicide truck bombs and fled ramadi even though they greatly outnumbered isis. the u.s. mission is to provide planning and equipment for iraqi forces as they regroup in an effort to retake ramadi. because the base is so close to the front lines most of the 450 americans who will be there simply to protect the base from attack. u.s. troops will also attempt to recruit local sunni tribesmen who have so far been unwilling to fight for the shiite-dominated iraqi government. in february, a u.s. military officer predicted that the decisive battle against isis would take place this spring in northern city of mosul. the new focus on ramadi seems likely to postpone the battle to retake mosul until next year. the american strategy depend

david: we know they have the will to fight, if and only if there is good leadership they can count on and if they think someone has their back. the troops at ramadi fought for months. there was a moment where their confidence was shaken and they retreated. they will retake it. we have to look at this and ask what could have been done better. what else can we do to help with the reconstitution of the forces , the training, the equipment getting there? don't forget baghdad. the complementary piece to this where our military leadership and diplomatic leadership can help shore up the prime minister and help with the leaders who are going to be inclusive who will get the sunni arabs back into the full, instead of feeling alienated as they came to feel in the years after we left. charlie: if push comes to shove should we let iraqi militia with connections to iran participate? david: i think that is something we don't want to do. i think that would be a very last resort. they are not going to get to the outskirts of baghdad. iraq has a lot of capability in its military. what we need to do is look at what the concepts are that we have determine how we ne

state tightened grip on ramadi outside baghdad, in fact cutting off water supplies to neighboring towns latest developments leading cia director and retired four-star general david petraeus to reassess the self-proclaimed winning strategy. >> these are fights where if you're not winning, you're probably losing because time is not on your side. >> and we are not winning? . >> well it's arguable now in iraq. we'll turn it around we will win again in iraq. i do think that iraq can definitely be handled. i think it can be kept intact. we've got to do a lot more in syria. lou: in an attempt to deflect criticism from the obama administration democratic leader nancy pelosi placed the blame squarely on general petraeus. >> petraeus had the responsibility to train troops in iraq, i remember going over there on a number of occasions and hearing from some of them that he trained 175,000 iraqi troops and personnel so that they can take over their own effort. so i would ask him about that. i think that the number was far smaller than was represented to us. lou: joining us former u.s. ambassador to the united nations fox news contributor john bolton. ambassador, what do you m

ramadi and the baiji oil refinery. it may be the prime minister may ask for more assistance. we don't expect the president to announce any new military assistance. having said that prime minister davidameron announced britain will increase the amount of military trainers on the ground. up to 125 more british trainers helping to fight ied explosives there. we are not expecting any significant military aid to come out today. we have to see what happens after the meeting with the iraqi prime minister. >> atika shubert, thank you. >>> there's a claim of significant victory this morning in the battle against isis. iraqi troops are mopping up small pockets of resistance of isis fighters in the key city of baiji after declaring control of the city center and main mosque and surrounding neighborhoods. still raging is the battle to retake an oil refinery. an important asset. jomana karadsheh has the latest for us. jomana. >> reporter: christine, iraqi officials from the military and also the shi'a militias who have been in major fighting force on sunday announcing they have regained control of the city of baiji from isis after months of intense fighting. supported by the u.s. and coalition a

david ignatius. there's a question as to what is the overall arching strategy here. this is a tactic 400 more trainers, but is this a strategy? and is this enough to get back ramadi to begin to retaking mosul? >> well it's not sufficient to accomplish those, but i think these are necessary steps on the way. i think president obama was right to look at what's been accomplished in the roughly year since isis broke out in mosul and the administration decided it posed a serious threat. and to see that what had been accomplished wasn't sufficient and needed to be rethought. the idea that 400 people of that incremental step is going to remedy the basic flaws in the strategy i think is wrong. and if the president is just trimming around the edges with numbers, i think he'll ending up being disappointed and the country will too. i think senator king put his finger on exactly the right issue. president obama's strategy was to harness the sunni tribes the sunni population in the area around mosul in anbar province in the west and get them to lead the fight. he understood from the beginning that there's deep mistrust among sunnis toward the shiite-led government of iraq eve
