erin, we could argue this until dawn comes. basically the problem is, where are we now and what are wur interests? i believe the president is right to say this our interests are to defeat isis to disallow tlem from getting a safe haven in iraq. that takes political and military stat ji. i'm glad he is sending more fellows over to defend the embassy. that important. but that can't be enough. >> one final question about why we are here now and that is to dissolve the army in 2003. i was reading an op ed today and you wrote, we were right to rebuild an iraqi army. iraq enew professional soldiers are the country's most effective and trusted security force. today, our reporters on the ground and sources across the country putting down guns, walking away from the fight. colonel deserted along with his unit. would this be done you hadn't disbanded the iraqi security force. >> let me give you some facts first. first of all, when we disbanded the iraqi army, he is said that all members of the normer army, up to the level of colonel, wer

erin mcpike at the white house for us. erin, please clarify what the u.s. troops are going to be doing when they get to iraq. >> well, deb, let me first take that point that they're going there soon and not just yet. and that's because the u.s. government is waiting for an agreement in writing from the iraqi government to provide legal protections for u.s. military advisers. that's why they're not going yet. as far as what they're going to be doing, admiral john kirby who is the pentagon spokesman was on "the situation room" yesterday and he addressed that. >> the mission is not to go against isil. one, address the security forces, two, address the security forces on the ground. we need to get more intelligence. and number three we need to address the situation itself. how many they need. the mission of these folks right now is really to do some good assessment and advice. >> so as you heard there, assessment and advising, not combat, deb. >> and just so we're clear about this, they're sending 300 military advisers plus people to make sure they're safe, or
