joe carter it looks like another night of where the curfew took hold relatively quickly.out incident, without any real difficulty whatsoever. we're 57 minutes into it. and it seems to be that everything is under control and no problem. >> right. i'm not really surprised by that because i think that the issue is that people don't want to be disruptive. they simply want justice and they want to be heard. they want to chance the policing that resulted in the death of freddie gray. not just knowing the details of how he was killed which is important, but they want to stop the aggressive policing the unconstitutional arrests, and that's what they are hoping, you know, will come out of this. >> earlier on this program in this week, i've simply offered it to you as an opportunity to say to philadelphia what you want to say to philadelphia at this time. we know with this curfew that people are at home and they have their their televisions on and i'd like you to take that opportunity again. >> i am so thankful to those of you in philadelphia who are standing with us in a movement

you heard why joe biden said to the iraqi prime minister. you heard what ash carter said.e obama administration and the military on the same page? >> well iraqi soldiers are brave when well led. and as david said in this case they were not well led. these were forces that weren't trained by the u.s. train and equip mission over there. so the secretary of defense said what he believed to be the truth and created a diplomatic dust up and i think the vice president tried to paper it over with his comments. the fact is that the iraqi army is not well led. the previous prime minister got rid of a lot of competent commanders to staff armed forces with political cronies and iraqi army is still recovering from that and it will take months if not years to get back to a complete functional state. >> and, david, i know that president obama has talked about this in interviews with various reporters. should he come out and say something to help americans understand what's really happening in iraq and with isis? >> i think, carol, when you're in the midst of a fight that's going to be l

. >> and there is more fallout from the defense secretary carter's comments this weekend? >> well vice president joe biden had to bat clean-up over the weekend after defense secretary ash carter's unexpected and blunt assessment that ramadi fell because the iraqi forces lacked the will to fight. in a hastily arranged phone call biden thanked him for the enormous sacrifice and bravery of iraqi forces and the state department rushed a shipment of 2084 anti-tank weapons to baghdad. general stan mcchrystal led during the surge. >> new weapons will not make the difference. if war was math everybody would add had the most. it doesn't happen that way. >> ironically a massive sand storm engulfed the anbar province today. reports suggest zero visibility. remember it was confusion over whether the u.s. could drop bombs in a sand storm that caused many iraqi troops to flee. >> thanks. retired naval intelligence officer, served 23 years in active duty. the former chief of intelligence operations he deployed to iraq and afghanistan. he founded the first analytical red team at the special operations command and c

house is doing some fence mending after ash carter questioned their will to fight in the battle against office. saying he was flat wrong. vice president joe biden called the iraqi leader to praise the bravery of his country's forces. here's a comment from defense secretary carter that kicked off this controversy. >> what apparently happened was that the iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. they were not outnumbered. in fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force. >> now, carter made that comment obviously after the iraqi military withdrew from ramadi turning over another key territory to isis. the obama administration now claims carter was only talking about that one battle and was not issuing a sweeping indictment of their will to fight. here's how one senior administration official put it. this official said the iraqis have suffered setbacks before and were able to retake territory from isil who they refer to as isis. the united states will continue to support these efforts and do all we can to help the brave iraqi forces including the tribes of anbar to secure the province from isil terrorists. these comments from the adminis
