action, it's not a short term fiction. >> no. >> is there a fimilitary soluti to this? >> no, there is not, not in syria or iraq. in iraq, they are going to -- i think administration's thrust is right to focus on trying to get a government that addresses some of the sunni arab community's concerns without surrendering to the islamic state, far from it. >> if we weren't able to do that with a trillion dollars and more than $150,000 tro 150,000 drops ground, we couldn't get maliki to do that, not to the extend we wanted to. why should anyone believe that the u.s. with 300 advisors on the ground will be able to do that? >> that's a fair question, anderson. what i would say is two things, number one, the situation in front of the government in iraq is more difficult for them now than it was, say, in 2009 and 2010.
