we're also providing support for implementation of iraq's national action plan on women, peace and security, and one more example. the united states provided $18 million in fiscal year 2015, continuing this year, to the international organization for migration, the iom in iraq, to provide livelihood support for vulnerable displaced iraqis, conduct rapid response and assessments of newly displaced population, complete community-led programs designed to reduce tensions and enhance integration through its community revitalization program, and i they most of you know the challenges that the displaced communities face in terms. provision of schools for their kids. as part of this program iom has been able to expand and renovate seven primary and secondary schools throughout the iraqi kurdistan region which will -- which will allow thousands of idp and host community children access to -- in education. this is an important start. much more needs to be done in this regard. now, obviously the liberation of mosul will produce enormous new challenges. this was addressed a couple of times in our earlier conversation through -- and in

iraq but in syria also. we keep talking about the united states. think of how hard the islamic republic has been fighting to preserve? fighting tooth and nail to preserve the rule of bashar al-assad. think of the terrible tactics carried out by iran in iraq. in particular the sectarian militia is doing damage and deepening the divide. they blame people all around. it is not jus the united states but also the regional power. think of syria. look, yes, al-qaeda and iraq was a direct product of the u.s. invasion of iraq. but surely isis, whether direct product or indirect, overseeing iraq and whether you are talking about saudi arabia and iran and hezbollah on the other hand. it was the strategic rivalry that allowed al-qaeda central which is the official arm of al-qaeda and isis to do as well as they have done in particular of foreign fighters and resources. money because all organizations need resources not just armies. >> host: i think in the context of iran i think we should be sure to mention there are shiite militias which are important but peopl

i will point out that if you look at those, 127,000 refugees who have come to the united states from iraq in the last decade, 40% of them are minorities and mostly christians who have come to the united states. but all of our efforts to allow people to return home and do it safely, to ensure their security, will be protected, benefits all minorities, and certainly benefits the christian minorities, as well. we work very closely with the communities here to gather what information we can to supplement what we have from our own diplomatic sources in military sources and intelligence sources about what the needs of these communities are and to be responsive to them. i would point out that in one area, when the syrian christian communities were attacked again, our intervention with military, intervention on the air in support with the syrian militias and kurdish militias were indispensable in terms of allowing those forces to push daesh out of the areas they have taken. we are moving militarily and trying to plan ahead to the time when people have the option to return home. many of the lesson

iraq is an ally of the united states, as problematic as it is. can you actually go in and take their oil? >> i think one of the things we have to look at, we have to look at all the means we can bring to bear in iraq. i think one of the things we have to do is we have to cut off their financial capabilities that they are using right now and they have been using. that continues to be these oil fields that are in the contested areas in iraq and frankly even in syria, too. the specifics of how we do that, those are things that are left to really the true professionals to be able to assist us in thinking through how we might do that but we have to cut off the financial capabilities of this very difficult enemy. >> nobody argues on that front, on any side of the aisle, but again, as somebody who served there, you know this better than anybody, if you take a sovereign nation's oil which is an ally of this country, don't you inflame just about everybody in iraq who is already not inflamed against the u.s.? >> i mean, i think how we do this, anderson, ho

read mission accomplished, bush that the purpose of the invasion was to bring democracy to iraq that the united states forces would remain there until that was accomplished. bush changed the mission without consulting anyone. decision was unilateral. instead of liberators the army would now become occupiers and would bring democracy to iraq. rumsfeld, powell wore all dumbfounded by this change but acquiesced. in retrospect they probably should not have done so. let me digress just for a moment to explain the difference between being liberators and being occupiers. liberators set a country free. occupiers impose their will. in world war ii as the day approached, franklin roosevelt didn't want to be bothered governor governing occupied france. instead over his rigorous objections he brought them from north africa and six days after d days the gall landed and they took over the government of liberated france. the united states and canadian troops moved ahead without regard for what was happening in france. that was their responsibility. then germany became occupied in the whole government was disb
