guard in the sunni areas.'ll have to live with it until they strengthen the iraqi national forces. then the iranians have to accept it. but we're not going to accept a bashar al assad or iranian hegemony in the area. >> we're agreeing we don't want to cooperate. we don't want to cooperate. there's a realistic piece of this. that is we can't walk into baghdad and say you've got to get the iranians out. we're 10,000 miles away. the iranians are there including generals on the ground. >> not only that, but we're with to make a nuclear arrangement with iran which is going to -- first, it will give them money right away to cause mischief. secondly, it's -- at least as it's been explained to me, it sets a timetable in which they could -- >> this may be a time that iranians also may be concerned that maybe this is getting out of control. the usdaies have reacted to them in yemen. there's potential for escalation there because of the shia/sunni thing. iraq is unraveling. and iran controlling iraq is going to be very d

most are sunni. the iraqi government, the sfral government is not providing -- central government is not providing money to take care of them. it's not meeting constitutionaling obligations or following agreement even though the kurds is doing its part, why, because it doesn't consider kurdistan to be part of iraq, not kurds, arabs. one can blame maliki, the previous prime minister - he wasn't inclusive. he may have had a point. the sunni basically never accepted the fact that after 2003, the shi'ite majority, through democratic elections run... >> he didn't choose sectarianism. >> the people that chose the result first, was the sunni, you had the fighting against the american troops. when the americans were too hard, you had out of the sunni territories, attacks on shi'ite civilians, bus stations in the south, killing tens of thousands of people, and the sunni leaders, establishment, tribal chiefs, they didn't do anything about this in 2006, 2006, until al qaeda, the predecessor to i.s.i.l. began to

until sunni leader not one sunni elected leader in iraq. not one elected shia leader in iraq called for that in the country, why is peter galbraith sitting here a state senator sitting here. he knows what the sunnis want. how does he know what the sunni population how they view d.a.e.s.h. or i.s.i.l. the fact of the matter is you have a terrorist organization which does have an impressive military ability that has occupied the territory the degradation of the iraqi army under maliki the american administration looked the other way, is an act bordering on the criminal. >> i'm not claiming to speak or represent the sunnis in mosul, what they might feel... >> you shouldn't have said to. >> my point is important that 30,000 iraqi army soldiers in mosul did not put up a fight against 2,000, at most i.s.i.l. attackers. they had 2300 humvees that they basically turned over without a fight to i.s.i.l. and they were used to attack kurdistan. and the population did not... >> look at history. >> the population did not stand with the people, the iraqis

you have to get sunni arabs involved. the sunni tribes to continue to engage. you have to have the kurds continue to engage. but you have to have -- >> hold on a second, general hurt ling and as you know you all served there, the u.s. spent a decade, army training and financing an army and when the u.s. pulled out they had several hundred iraqi personnel working and what happened and why did the army collapse. >> you judge an army by two things, will and skill. i think our key contributions to the iraqi army over the ten h-yr period was giving them the skill. and the will is the problem. an it is back to the will of the leading force to treat the soldiers in the right way. and it is interesting on the map jim located were placed where there was fail the governments and failed leadership and will to fight the organization. >> and the president calls you into his situation room and said what is the most important thick to defeat isis and you say -- >> get the tsunami yu tribes fighting. >> ramp up support. >> what does that mean. >> make more precise and more eff

it's the leverage they'll have right in the middle of sunni recruiting territory, and we want sunnis, and it's right in the middle of where the anbar operation center is that we can help the iraqi armed forces. >> thank you, mr. chairman. >> mr. kaufman -- coffman? >> thank you. general dempsey, i want to thank you for your decades of the ticket's this country. although i certainly feel that you've earned that retirement, we will miss you. i think this country will miss your service to our country. there is a, i guess, a position of this government of no boots on the ground. and i just want to drill down to what that means, because i agree that we shouldn't have u.s. military personnel back in iraq as the ground component maneuver element, taking the fight only from the indigenous forces there, iraqi security forces. but i also have a concern about that definition in terms, i do feel that there ought to be some u.s. military personnel forward with iraqi forces. forward air controllers to make sure we have effective close air support. advisers. not simply behind the wire but with the i

sunnis in an mar and elsewhere. but only -- these are the key words -- only in coordination with the central government in baghdad meaning all those weapons that might wind up in the hands of the kurds or the sunnis have to go through the central government. you know those sunnis and kurds, they don't tlaus sherust that shi'a-led central government, do they? >> well there is a mistrust at some point and prime minister abadi is trying to get this trust back. but this is where, again, the advise and assist role is across the spectrum not just with the combat soldiers going out, it's with the logistics the supplies the leadership. there should be a diplomatic advise-and-assist mission going on to help the iraqis. we can't just pick and choose. if we're going to support the central government of iraq we have to do it this way. we need to have the oversight and help the iraqis learn and assist them to get the weapons where they need to go. especially in erbil with the kurds and out best in the sunnis in anbar. >> yesterd

especially from sunni tribes. the question is if these problems have existed for some time within the iraqi army and this assistance and more has been considered for some time, why wasn't this done before the fall of ramadi? and sending more u.s. troops doesn't that indicate there were under estimations? we just got from the white house as much of an admission of the problems. u.s. officials said the fall of ramadi was a setback. forces need to be more nimble in fighting isis, which has been nimble. they need to react more quickly when there are shortfalls. the u.s. says this is a problem they are trying to solve. criticism coming from the officials. the president needs a more detailed strategy and how good the u.s. troops will do. christine. >> thank you for that michelle. the emphasis is on training sunni and peshmerga fighters. push to get weapons in the hands of sunnis more quickly and the timing falling the fall of ramadi to isis. this puts less relyiance on the central government in anbar province. joining m

committees -- sunni communities. my recommendation, last week the president sent 450 personnel to establish an additional site where we can advise and assist iraqi forces. situated between ramadi and another city, this is a key location for engaging sunni tribes. sunni leaders have committed to using terra-cotta -- takata to bring in forces. we are also encouraging planning support with an operations center. we expect this move will open a new dimension in the efforts to recruit sunnis into the fight and helped the iraqis coordinate and plan a critical effort to roll back isil. secretary kerry and i have agreed to begin a process to continually look at the campaign, starting with improving coronation across our expect the lines of effort. execution however is a two-way street and our training efforts in iraq have been slowed by a lack of trainees. we have not received enough recruits. of the 24,000 iraqi security forces that we envisioned training by this fall, we have only received enough recruits to train about 700

we are-&=%uájjt the sunnis.he iraqi government, but in a way that doesn't delay as it was a few months ago that assistance to them. but we're still doing it through the government of iraq because we're still trying to support the prime minister in maintaining a decentralized but single unita5 >> and just a quick thing on iran. and obviously, ivzk> mean, if we just had these extremist sunni groups to fight, i mean, that would be4q-ñ enough to&11e challenge us. but then when you throw in iranian influence and how it, you know stirs up the region, it definitely creates)íúp a higher level problem. but i do just want to make the observation, as awful as iran is, number one this isn't really necessarily helping them to have to fight multiple wars outside of their own borders, to have to fight in syria, to fight in iraq, to fight in yemen.á that can be bvo9%9 know. so it has a negative influence on them as well. and whatever one may say about iran, the difference between them and isil, isil wants to kill -- they wake u

an ambulance from sunni saudi arabia. injured through a mortar that hit off duty young fighters playing football the day before. another died. this town feels abandoned, despite broad recognition it is vital they win. >> nick paton walsh joining us live from baghdad right now. as you know isis's seizure of ramadi was a blow to the fight against the terror organizations. u.s. officials have openly criticized the iraqi security forces. the u.s. defense secretary ash carter saying they showed no will to fight and now the sunni speaker of iraq's parliament is launching an investigation. what is he alleging? >> well he told us in an exclusive interview, that he basically had learned that there was a point during the defense of ramadi done by a group known as the golden division elite special forces trained heavily, some of them by the united states well equipped at some point they received an order, he doesn't know who gave it or whether they came up with it put in their own command structure, to pull out of ramadi. they're la

arms directly it sunni tribes? >> well, as we understand it there is going to be a ramp up of this deployment of weapons to sunni forces. but again that's going to go through baghdad because ultimately it's the iraqi military that has ultimate command and control to use a military phrase over the actions of over smaller units. it's going to need to know who has what, what equipment has been given to which units which capabilities are going to be deployed in this fight against isil. it's not going to be a case of weapons certainly turning up in one part of anbar province and baghdad does not know about it. as part of trying to improve it's ability to deploy its forces in some sort of massive fight it does need to know who has what and who has been trained to use that equipment. it's all going through baghdad. >> thank you so much. roslind jordan there. >>> it's been one year since isil declared it's intent in iraq when it took control of mosul as iraqi troops threat. >> some two million people are believed to live i

especially from sunni tribes. the question is there that if the problems have existed for some time within the iraqi army and this kind of assistance and more has been considered for some time why wasn't this and more done before the fall of ramadi? and sending now significantly more u.s. troops doesn't that indicate there were significant underestimates if what was needed in the first place? we got as much of an admission of the problems we will get. u.s. officials said yes, the fall of ramadi was a setback. yes, forces need to be more nimble in fighting isis which has been nimble. they need to react more quickly when there are shortfalls. u.s. officials said this is a problem that they have been trying to solve. among the criticisms coming from members of congress, especially republicans, more needs to be done. the president needs to layout a more detailed strategy and questions over how much good really these additional u.s. troops will do. christine. >> michelle kosinski thank you. the emphasis on training sun

that's what we're trying to get the sunnis into the fight. i think you are asking exactly the right question but i think it's more than hope. i think there's some recent prospect that we can do this. we are determined to do it. there are plenty of iraqis say they will support that strategy and that we can make it succeed. >> thank you, mr. secretary. i continue to urge the administration to consider changing its policy. on supporting this government in baghdad image and sectarianism is a problem but i would argue discovered in baghdad is further adding fuel to the fire of sectarianism by allowing shia militia, by allowing secretary and persecution and oppression to continue, which only allows further oxygen for isis to continue to exist and to continue to grow in sunni territory. thank you. >> thank you. mr. bridenstine. >> thank you, mr. chairman. i'd like to thank the secretary the chairman are coming and testifying today. i think i'd like to follow up on the line of questioning that we are just going down you know, you mentioned earlier ge

they have to get the sunni tribes involved in the fight. it's a you will good going west into anbar province getting the sunniss to join the fight, key to pushing eye says owl, but the question is can they get the sunnis to join the fight. they're very kept cal about the shilla ld government in iraq. how exactly are they planning to get the sunnis there to take up the fight? >> well you have it look at the map. it's interesting. the u.s. troops will go to a new location called the al taqqata base this is near the combat zone. they're going to engage in rout reach to get the sunnis to basically come into the fold but this now opens the door to trying to reach out no the tribes. if it does come to that even if they think the sunnis will come to this air base this is an area of extreme combat risk right now, an area where these u.s. troops are going to need a lot of protection. wolf? >> so the immediate focus is ramadi the anbar province but only a few weeks ago general dempsey said you know what? ramadi not necessarily all that strategy ecimp

the shia militia calling out war crimes anti-sunni. the sunnis are in a tough spot. do they move to isis radical islamic terrorist organization? defend themselves? or give up? i think we do look at the tribal relationships we had. arm the sunnis. help them with logistics. at the core we have to change our tactics on the ground. figure out what we will do with sunni. how are we going to remove iranian influence to the extent in iraq? >> you spent 23 years, correct me if i'm wrong, as a navy seal? >> i did. >> navy seal salute obey follow the mission, give you an order. you do it. you are a united states congressman right now. do you trust the guys making these decisions? men and women at the pentagon white house, intelligence community do they know what they're doing? >> i trust our military advisers. what i don't trust is this administration. with his core group around his advisers. i think they're giving him bad advice. i don't think it is the military in this case. i have spoken to the senior military officers. they understand. former military officers general abaz

state department has told al jazeera that deployment is about empowering sunnies. >> these are sunni fighters. they have a stake in this. they have a stake in this fight. this is their region, so it's about giving them. >> let's get more on these troops which have been sent to iraq as it tries to battle with isil. let's go to roslind jordan. she's at the state department in washington. roslind,. >> it's really a slight reinvestigation to an answer going policy.ongoing policy with the u.s. providing training and assistance to the iraqi military but in this case they're going to be providing a lot of intelligence support, a lot of analysis sport and strategizing support to the members of the iraqi military. who are going to be tasked trying to claim ramadi from the isil fighters who took it over in recent weeks. >> the u.s. focus seems to be on military support, what about reconciliation. that's the key root that keeps driving sunni communities into the arms of groups like isil. >> that's the part that does not lend itself to television, sammi. that's the work of people talking with ea

it is able to support sunni grievances. many in the community have long felt targeted by the iraqi government. >> the majority may not support isil but we cannot deny there are those who do. isil exploits the long-held oppression of the sunnies. some prefer the isil or the kurds, who they believe wants their land. >> the peshmerga forces from three sides managed to hold the lines with the help of the u.s.-led coalition airstrikes. but right now they have no plan to move towards the sunni community. they say they'll play a supporting role if and when the decision is made to recapture the second largest city. isil has been preparing for that battle. it has dug a trench with a line ever concrete barriers as a line of defense and it is breeding a new generation of fighters. >> isil is recruiting children. there are thousands of new graduates. >> a major part to control every aspect under the rule. even if it loses ground ensures more to come. >> still to come on the news hour. >> in the central philippines. we'll be reporting o

well fighters are in control of the major area, sunni dominated province which is iraq's largest theyebrated their most significant victory last month, capturing the capitol of ramadi. more now from baghdad. >> we have been expecting such a move for about two years now because the sunnies have complained to the government constantly, that they have been ignored and sidelined. now, they say they were promised job in the army and also development for anbar province, and none of that has come. what is the catalyst? well, it is the shia led militia within the province, a lot of the sunnies they see that as being sectarian, the language used is also very sectarian, it refers to the empire by that they mean the iranians now let's take a listen to what the tribal shackledder had to say. >> we announce our allegiance and support to the state and the commander of the fateful and muslim sheikh. we tell him that we h adhere and follow his path, and stand by him to fight the enemies of religion. >> as you heard some pretty damming words there for the government, now the government faces a challen

rather than a sunni force, which is why the sunni people felt they needed to come back. to get to your question, when we have capable iraqi ground forces , like the ones we are trying to build, your question is, what kind of support will we provide? we are committed to providing intelligence advice support. with respect to introducing more forces on the ground that is something we will need to revisit as the forces are produced. once we have a capable force what can we do to enable it? i like your idea of not just involving us in that. our goal is to be an enabler, motivator. not a substitute for a capable ground force. that is where we would like to get to. gen. dempsey: the words to keep in mind, beside the strategy matching complexity, is trans regional. isis has tentacles in other places. that is the point to carry with you. we have almost 50% of the global resource in isr committed to iraq and syria. that is a heavy lift. the rest of it is reacting to european security, issues related to iranian aggressiveness yemen, issues with the pacific. and afghanistan, where w

the different sides of islam are sunni-shia sunni-shia.ndent. go ahead. >> caller: thank you. with isis in the news constantly, and a lot of our congressmen going on to the news and telling us how isis is a danger and the white house obviously believes it's a danger, we're bombing them now, obviously, you're in the armed services committee. you're discussing this in congress. but i wonder why it is we don't see more -- especially considering so many republicans are going on television, saying how dangerous isis is, why we don't see any movement toward votes to go to actual war legally against isis. thank you. >> well the president asked for a re-visit of the authority to go to war. he has that authority now. i don't think the problem is as much going to -- having the authority to fight isis. it's how we're going to fight isis. what we're going to do and what's the strategy. air operations alone has not been effective and won't be. it's not for me. general conway and the leaders that have fought there and have enormous amount of experience.

isil exploits what sunnis say are legitimate demands.s not clear if the tribes who did pledge allegiance to isil did so out of conviction or fear but what is clear is that it was a strong hold for al qaeda and other armed groups who fought both the eye rag i government and u.s. forces when they were in the country. for sometime they were able to secure sunni areas, these men are now asking for arms so they can recapture their district. but arms may not be enough to bring peace. part of isil's strength comes from the government's inability to bring the sunni community to to its side. zeina khord, al jazerra northern iraq. >>> the italian prime minister has urged nation as cross the ire a pacific region to fight armed groupings. include isil. continue to go lure thousands of fighter to iraq and syria. tony abbott was in sydney and warned that isil has global ambitions. >> we have sent a strong military force to the middle east to hit them from the air. and to try to assist the iraqi army to retake their own country. we are talking about ai

the feel ever of isolation and alienation amongst sunnies? >> well, that's the part that just isn't as visual, and certainly that is something that many are ask about every single day. but the limbic efforts to put pressure on eidur al abadi's government to make sure that it is much more inclusive than the government of nouri al-maliki was, a government criticized for favoring shiite citizens. it does believe that hyder al abadi has the political will to try to be more inclusive. but he's just one man. is the message trickling down through the ranks of the military and are people actually putting into action the promises which the primaries has made repeatedly when meeting with u.s. officials and meeting with owe officials in the region to be more inclusive? there is a real concern here in washington about whether the country of iraq could fracture if those sectarian differences and grievances of tension are not fixed. >> thank you for that. >> beyond the bridge is isil territory. mosul, the biggest urban center in northern iraq. some 2 milli

in fact to date no sunnis have been trained by the u.s.military since the train effort began in january, which raises serious questions about whether the u.s. will be viewed as partisan in the ongoing sectarian conflict between sunnis and sheias. the former head of the defense intelligence agency accused the president -- >> we face radical islamic -- the administration's refusal to state what we can plainly see is beyond irresponsible and ranges on being dangerous for the long-term security of the united states. >> there are now four u.s. training sites inside iraq. the new base will be in anbar province near habbaniya. of the roughly 9,000 iraqi troops trained by the u.s. military since last year, none have been sent to where the fighting against isis has been most intense. exactly one year ago, mosul fell to isis fighters. senior u.s. commanders are predict it will take three to five, even seven years, to defeat the estimated 20 to 30000 isis fighters. >> just last week australia's foreign minister expressed concerns about new intelligen

we are arming the sunnis. we do it in coordination with the iraqi government, but in a way that doesn't delay as it was a few months ago that assistance to them. but we're still doing it through the government of iraq because we're still trying to support the prime minister in maintaining a decentralized but single unitary iraqi state. >> and just a quick thing on iran. and obviously, i mean, if we just had these extremist sunni groups to fight, i mean, that would be enough to really challenge us. but then when you throw in iranian influence and how it, you know, stirs up the region, it definitely creates a higher level problem. but i do just want to make the observation, as awful as iran is, number one, this isn't really necessarily helping them to have to fight multiple wars outside of their own borders, to have to fight in syria, to fight in iraq, to fight in yemen. that can be draining, as we well know. so it has a negative influence on them as well. and whatever one may say about iran, the difference betw
