right now, isis is stretched quite thin as we know. their lines are stretched over many, many miles and the question is can the iraqi forces take advantage of that, push back, push isis back and maintain their hold on baghdad. >> yet, we've seen actually no evidence that iraqi government forces are able to actually retake territory that isis forces have taken. can the prime minister there rejected today calls for an emergency unity government. you've met with him a number of times. i doubt you were surprised by that. >> no, not at all, anderson. when i saw him a couple months ago in march before the elections, i saw a prime minister confident expecting to win big in elections, which of course, he did and not really planning on making concessions to anybody. in fact, mostly talking about his rivals as all being agents of foreign governments. >> does he really believe that?
