just last month the u.s. and iraq claimed to have the upper hand in the fight against isis. cnn pentagon correspondent barbara starr caught up with defense secretary ash carter and asked him why isis was able to capture the key iraqi city of ramadi and gain momentum on a march toward baghdad. >> what apparently happened was that the iraqi forces just showed no will to fight. they were not outnumbered. in fact they vastly outnumbered the opposing force. and yet they failed to fight. they withdrew from the site. and that says to me and i think to most of us that we have an issue with the will of the iraqis to fight isil and defend themselves. now, we can give them training. we can give them equipment. we obviously can't give them the will to fight.
