in the parade of horrible, some people list about obama is that he is negotiated with the irani and son this. ,f you get into the details they're on the right path, perhaps. the reticence of doing something maybe because we are trying to do something on iran to unbalance. there are some unintended consequence for that type of diplomacy as well. -- the maybe the red reticence of the president doing a redline and not doing anything about it might have been because of our trying to do something. >> if you look at the chronology where the white house was saying quite openly after the chemical weapons, after they established that they have been used. openlyre saying quite and there was that walk with his chief of staff in which the president reversed course and said, as chris was talking about they're going to go to congress and ask for approval. then he said, no, we are not going to do that, we are not going to bomb. there was a big change in policy. i agree with you, speaker, that we don't know exactly what happened. that is the subject, somebody should really look at in detail. it was in

. >> why should the irani and students? >> that is the problem. they must get malki to step down stop they must find a shia leader who can do the right thing in terms of bringing the sunnis and. they have to get the trust of the sunnis. they have to buy in after they have been burned in this process. the iranians have to buy it. the best outcome for the iranians is number two. probabilitiesbout associated with this, but the highest probability on one. that is breakup. >> the best solution is the least likely. >> that is the way that an intelligence officer with think about it. when i think about where we are here, there were things i think about. not the decision to go into iraq in the first place. .hat is defensible enough i will leave it to historians to figure out. the first mistake that was made was [inaudible] it was in early 2003. the coalition provisional that any's order member of the baath party had to be removed from government. >> rather than just those of the top. >> correct. ofer number two was that all those iraqi institutions that w

we will have to have a dialogue with the irani ans and cordinate. >> bret baier is here. you had people from both parties floating this idea of joining capacity with iran but we know iran is the most dangerous and state sponsored active terror in the world. why is this floating as a suggestion? >> because the others are not that great. the iranians have a direct line to the prime minister and they have forces inside iraq. what iran did in syria was seen as destabalizing the weekend but these conversations are being open to shore up iraq from this sunni threat led by this terrorist group. i think there is concern and definitely people talking about opening the conversation but there is concern not only about iran's wish to have a neighbor it controls but also from u.s. and isralii officials that linking up now will water down the nuclear ambation of iran. >> do you think there is a strategic vision being pursued for the entire middle east? >> that is a question about the obama foreign policy overall and the question of when to get involved and when not. the president has s

if they - the americans died to go with air strikes, the iran yeas will help -- iranis will help the government on the ground. will this affect political change in iraq? >> i think so. yes. if the americans decide to go with air strikes, and help iraqi troops to regain the cities. that would help a lot in the short term, and forming an iraqi government without maliki, i think he will take the blame and americans will gain more leverage in iraq. that will help moderate sunnis and shi'as to get together. the presence of americans has been good as moderators, when they were in iraq, involved at the time of george bush. now america is away. they don't have a lot of influence, and i think going back with more influence, you know, by playing an active role in the crisis will help a lo.. >> a deeper look, political change - how do you see it playing out? >> i don't think it looks good. i hope ali is right. it seems the odds are against that. these are home-grown problems that the u.s. has lit the leverage over. you know, iraq has to get its house in order. they can't get a quorum. the gover

after all, the leadership in iraq in background is of the same sect at the iranis. >> absolutely andof course has been one of the concerns ever since we pulled out and didn't keep a residual group of forces there, 10 to 20,000 troops at the end of our involvement in 2011. is that al maliki would see a document figure, i need tehran to help back me. and the head of the force named silamani was apparently in baghdad this week saying hey, we'll help you out because obviously, if you're maliki, you can't be too particular about who you're going to look to to help save you politically and actually, save your neck physically. >> this sounds like the kind if they rip off his head and put it in the street like all the others. i want to ask you about a problem we see up on this wall. these insurgents have been fighting in syria and don't know boundari boundaries. they know sects. so, they're all over this area. if you go in and help them here in iraq, what happens when they just melt into syria? is it possible we have to go help them? no, i'm asking. i don't know, man. i remember being bamboo

if they want to get involved in iraq, better the irani military than our guys. >> that was the famousphrase when iraq and iran were fighting a brutal war. in this context you have iran already involved going to become more involved. >> they were involved killing our guys. >> they were involved in the conflict killing our guys and backing death squads in baghdad and areas killing civilians and sunni terrorists. iran's hand is in this, directly involved. don't forget the sunni state as in the region, places like saudi arabia and other gulf countries, they will be backing the same countries we see. this is a proxy civil war. that's what's happening. >> basically iran backs maliki and his shiite people. then the sunni insurgents are against them. al qaeda folks are trying to exploit that relationship. let me ask you this. does iran's willingness to jump into iraq make you more or less likely we should take a bigger investment there? >> well, i think we need to take a bigger investment. now i believe that air power can do it and do it quickly. it would be nice to have boots on the ground f

his name, consumel irani. is a man seen as a key strategist also in syria and elsewhere as well. brian todd has been looking into this man. what are you learning? clearly he has a lot of influence. >> he has a lot of influence in iraq and in the region in particular. his name is general consum sulamani. he's helping the iraqi regime fight the isis militants. this man, sulamani, has been an antagonist and behind some of the more notorious attacks against americans in iraq, during the iraq war, his qods force was responsible for training shia militants on how to attack americans, attack them with explosive devices that were, you know, they devised with the iranians help there. he is a very dangerous respected figure among the shia community there. >> is he in baghdad advising maliki? >> he may not be there now but it was reported, the week before last, he was there, and possibly hundreds of qods force iran revolutionary guard members are helping the iraqis fend off isis militias in certain parts of the country.

when it comes to irani think i've described what we have done already which is to have some discussionsthe sidelines of other meetings and they're wholly separate and apart from the conversations that are ongoing about our concerns and about iran's nuclear program. >> in the meantime, count on more blood in iraq. sending his own troops to take on isis, iraq's shiite prime minister is so far rejecting a proposal for greater power sharing for sunnis. >> the call for a national salvation government is a coup against the constitution and the political process. >> our thanks to jim acosta for that report. joining me now here in new york fareed zakaria host of fareed zakaria. as if it it could get any more complicated. the enemy of my enemy is a dictator. it's not like the white house can call syria and say thanks for this, but to an extent was this inevitable by the u.s. saying we're not going get involved with air strikes right now by saying the response will be very, very limited. does that create a vacuum where syria and iraq were bound to get involved? >> i think they were bound to get i

if iranis are made your enemy, maliki was iran's great ally.nd again, let's go back to this basic point. how do they pay for this? how many literally hundreds of billions. and this notion by mccain that this is going to mean more terrorism in the u.s. first of all, we should be very clear about this point, there are terrible people out there who want to kill americans and we need to defend ourselves against them. but we can't plug every rat hole in the world. if we shut down afghanistan, there'll be an iraq, if they're not in iraq, they'll be in yemen, if not in yemen, they'll be in mali and nigeria. and yes, we can maintain, and i'm for a sensible drone program if we can find out who they are, we'll also be defending ourselves at home. but if you're worried about americans dying, if you follow what mccain says, you're going to send americans back into combat in iraq, one of the worst examples in american history of a terribly unsuccessful, brutal combat. and you're not going to do it with a handful of people. they're not going to be scared off

you could have a irani iaian sh involvement in baghdad and so don't get ahead of yourselves and knowt the insurgents did well in the northern part of the country, and the problem is that, you know, the, there are huge tectonic historical plates shifting and these borders that the world has lived with for 70 years in this area are meaningless in the face of those basic shiite sunni plates. >> and those plates, you can not ignore that as they shift, there is a different story, joy, what is this going to mean for the midterm elections and mean for congress going forward? >> well sh, unfortunately, theyl mean the same thing, which is essentially nothing. we have a total gridlock in washington where everything is so hyperpartisan and political and everything that the president does is so steeped with partisan politics and midterm election politics, that i don't know that we can sort it out from that standpoint, but going back really to the core issue that we are e dealing with in the middle east, we can't get away from the fact that we did fight a war, and that in this the end took iraq w

understand your argument with certain states to the middle east and africa but telling me that the irani state or israeli state or variety of other states are dissegoing away i don't buy. you're right they're not necessarily going to endure but i'm not sure i buy this argument that this is a more general problem. >> as i said t intensity of the problem, though it's probably everywhere, switzerland is a exception, japan, a handful of others, the intensity varies greatly, however, the examples you give, first of all, iran. iran could very well break apart because the iranians are only a relatively small portion of the population in iran. the iranians have important separatist movements going on. they're very concerned about those movements and are very much subject to the fourth generation threat. as far as israel, one of the things i learned when i went there was how incredibly bitter israeli internal politics are and to the point where i had a secular israeli say to me, speaking of the orthodox, we should put them in the kind of camps where they only come out the smokestacks. that's the

probably had the last conversations with iran, and irani represented in afghanistan about the country when i was there. and i was instructed to suspend that, because all pressure was to be concentrated on the nuclear issue. important when looking at iran to look at the difference between iran's interest and afghan it -- in afghanistan, and iran's interest in iraq. because the two situations are quite different. iran has always been a strategic -- a rack has always been a strategic threat to iran. has an interest of a degree of instability in a rack -- in iraq to mitigate the threat of power. it does not have that interest in afghanistan. it does have a genuine interest in stability. lay games and send money to buy positions, but afghanistan is -- has never in the last 100 years been a strategic threat to iran. iranians know that. they worry about our presence, the mirkin present. that scares them. -- the american presence. that scares them. you have the basis on which to have a shared interest in betweening afghanistan afghanistan and iran. it is not clear that we have that shared int

in the parade of horrible, some people list about obama is that he is negotiated with the irani -- withhe iranians on this. i think if you get into the detail of it, they are on the right path, perhaps. >> we will never know all the details of what is going on. but the reticence of doing something in syria, maybe because we are trying to do something on iran and don't want to unbalance. there are some unintended consequences for that type of diplomacy as well. i think maybe the reticence of the president doing a redline and not doing anything about it might have been because of our trying to do something. >> i think that is possible. but if you look at the chronology where the white house was saying quite openly after the chemical weapons, after they established that they have been used, that he was going to all men -- he was going to bomb. they were saying quite openly and there was that walk with his chief of staff in which the president reversed course and said, as chris was talking about they're going to go to congress , and ask for approval. then he said, no, we are not going to do

what do you tell the iranys to get this message across. can you bring them together on all of this. >> first those are very different conversations to have with the saudis and iranians are waiting to be acted. they go around the world, as first, second, and third on their priority list with things to address. they are looking for ways to increase their relative leverage and one consquenequence of that think is that they are willing to endure things that hurt them tactically because they think strategically holding the keys to a solution helps them in the long term. their strategic interest has them deal with the mastic visa vie, the united states. i think in term of the iranians, you don't want them to show up with a lot of things on their desk. i think the key is highlighting the common interests but not making it seem like a concession but things we are doing it in their interest and we are doing something. i would be careful not to get into a head to head negotiation. i think with the saudis it is about reassuring them with our attentio

. >> do you have a message for the irani government to stay out, even if invited? . >> this is an issue for the sovereign government of iraq. they ought to make prudent digs about how to deal with the threat in the interest of national unity. >> you used in the first formulation to talk about an effort that builds on moderation. can you credibly apply either of the words, unified or moderate to al malaki's governing of iraq and how much claim does it put on his decision making process in that part of the country? >>i can certainly say we agree all iraqedly leaders including prime minister mal can ki need to address unresolved issue ares within iraq to better meet the needs of the iraqi people. however the threat to iraq's stability now is isil. is is il has an ideology that has little to do with the politics rather to aim and terrorize the iraqi people regardlessless of the sect or ethnic or religious affiliation. the ideology would be the same no matter who was in power in baghdad. that said, we'll continue to work with iraqi leaders to encourage the kind of colla

i had a -- with irani representative in afghanistan about the country when i was there. then i was instructed to suspend that because all pressure was to be concentrated on the nuclear issue. i think it's important when looking at iran to look at the difference between iran's interest in afghanistan and iran's interest in iraq. because the two situations are quite different. iran has always been a strategic threat to iran. and iran has actually an interest in having a degree of instability in iraq to mitigate threat and allow it to position in play power games. it does not have that interest in afghanistan. it does have a genuine interest in stability. it will play games for influence. it will send money to buy positions. but afghanistan has never, in the last 100 years, been a strategic threat to iran. iranians know that. they worry about our presence, the american presence that scares them. they various other things they worry about. it's not afghanistan is a threat. what i'm saying is, you have the basis on which to have a shared interest in stablizing afghanistan bet
