Insurgents control what was once saddam husseins main chemical weapons plant. Its located 45 miles northwest of baghdad and still contains stockpiles of deadly poisons including muz tastard and sarin. U. S. Officials believe it would be difficult for the rebels to use the weapon about but remain concerned. Yesterday president obama said hes sending military advisers to iraq. Susan mcginnis is in washington. Susan, good morning. Anne marie, good morning. The president s sending about 300 of these advisers over there. Combined with other announcements, this could mean about 600 additional u. S. Troops are being sent there. Now, the president is talking a lot about their limited mission, but to many it is really evident that the u. S. Is inching its way back into iraq. Islamist militants continue to battle for control of the biggest refinery as they try to take control of cities and towns on their way to baghdad. They are a threat to National Security so hes sending up to 300 military advisers to the reege. We will help iraq as they fight the terrorists. They will not engage in come bane. In Going Forward we will be prepared to take target and precise military action if and when we determine that the situation on the ground requires it. Here on capitol hill, lawmakers agree the u. S. Has to take action. Some republicans say there needs to be a more defined strategy. I hope today was the outline of the first step in a multistep process. We must do effective counterterrorism. There are growing calls for iraqs shiite minister to step down as sunni militants continue tear fight. President obama has also called on iraqs leader to create a more inclusive government. And the president is also sending secretary of state john kerry to the middle east and europe this weekend to meet with his down perparcounterparts to e on the crisis. Susan mcginnis in washington. Thank you, susan. Cbs news correspondent Clarissa Ward is in baghdad and she joins us on the phone this morning. First of all, what is the reaction to president obamas decision to send military advisers . Reporter well, anne marie, i think the Iraqi Government will take all the help that it can get, but certainly theres some disappointment here that president obama didnt really commit to those air strikes. Thats what the Iraqi Government has wanted all along, for the u. S. To be a silent partner in the skies, really with the emphasis on silent. Youll notice it took them a week to even ask publicly for those air strikes because they dont want the perception that theyre weak or in any way dependent militarily on the u. S. President obama also called on nuri al malikis government to be more inclusive of sunni muslims. If the Prime Minister is even inclined to do so, can he deliver . Reporter well, thats the question everyone here has been asking. Certainly its quite striking to see many top shiite politicians coming out of the woodwork and telling us maliki must go, that his politics are too sectarian. Hes alienated people, pushed out the political leaders. And while theres a general consensus that iraq should remain a unified country, theres also an understanding that that can only happen through the creation of a National Unity government, and frankly it appears unlikely that maliki can make that happen. All right. Clarissa ward in baghdad. Thank you very much, clarissa. In this country now, heavy rain triggered record rain and flooding in the plains and midwest.
