The country did issue this essential warning, if you will, for politicians to follow the timetable of the constitution for forming a new parliament. Does he mean that that new parliament or that new government shouldnt include maliki . Not clear, but he is telling politicians here to stick to the timetable, thats important. As for the chemical weapons, i visited that site with weapons inspectors 12 years ago. When i saw them, those weapons looked the chemical weapons looked pretty much aging and deteriorating, but they could still pose a danger, vx, sarin, mustard gas. Remembering some of those people fighting with isis were members of the very same army that filled those stockpiles. Kate in. Sure sounds like trouble no more how antiquated they are. Nic, thanks very much on the ground in baghdad for us to continue this story. Though sending special forces to iraq, president obama insists hes still keeping his commitment to not put troops on the ground there. He also is not ruling out air strikes against isis at this point. Michelle kosinski is live at white house with much more on this side of the story. Michelle . Reporter right, kate. The administration emphasizes this is not combat, but we are talking up to 300 special forces in iraq soon to advise and gather intelligence, a very measured step but a necessary one if the u. S. Were to decide on Something Like air strikes. Again, the president emphasizes this is all from the perspective of protecting Americas National security interests. American forces will not be returning to combat in iraq, but we will help iraqis as they take the fight to terrorists who threaten the iraqi people. No boots on the ground, but boots on the ground. President obama and his National Security team opt for a sort of middle ground in iraq. Another step to gaining that sorely needed real intel around the clock on how best to counter isis fighters. First, up to 300 military advisors and teams of about a dozen each from american troops already based in the region. Starting around the perimeter of baghdad, they will establish joint Operations Centers with Iraqi Security forces, gather intelligence that could also be used for potentially u. S. Air strikes in iraq, or in syria not being ruled out. Also on the agenda, more funding and equipment for the iraqis. On the home front, the president is barraged daily for not having done more in syria. The speed of iraqs deterioration, by speaker boehner. The spread of terrorism has increased exponentially under this president s leadership. Reporter and senator mccain. The president of the United States goes for fundraising and golfing, and now is fiddling while iraq burns. Reporter the president said its time to vindicate those soldiers who sacrificed in iraq. Thousands of lives lost and hell give iraq a chance at stability, a longterm problem for which a necessary solution is for that country to form an inclusive government now. Rather than trying to play whack a mole wherever these terrorist organizations may pop up, what we have to do is to be able to build effective partnerships, actual governments on the ground that we can partner with. Reporter thats been criticized some, too, questioning whether the president is basing the potential use of military force too much on what happens politically within iraq. For now though the president is dispatching the secretary of state to iraq this weekend, and he said that, yes, iran could play a constructive role in this. He said the key to what happens with iraq or syria is what happens with the governments there and building an effective antiterror platform. Chris . Michelle, when youre faced with a bad situation, all your choices are often bad as well, but something had to be done, and lets talk about what it is and what it may mean. We have Lieutenant ColonelRick Francona here, former military Liaison Officer and also assigned to military operations in Northern Iraq. Sorry to be talking about you instead of to you. Good to have Lieutenant Colonel francona as well. Boots on the grounds, advisers, call them what you want, americans are back on the ground and at risk in iraq. Whats the basis for this situation . They need to get in there and get the iraqis back on their feet. Talked to the pentagon last night and they are telling me what they want to do is get about 30 to 40 people in there immediately and have them assess the situation, see what we need to be doing in there, assess how strong isis is and how strong the iraqis are and then decide from there how many more people need to come in. Also could be helpful if we go to air strikes, right, because you have to know where to call them in, what all the different contingencies are, and you want to trust husain . They will be assessing what kind of targeting we need to be doing and how to make that happen effectively. This is where we get into problems because how many more people do we need . Do they say 300 is not enough and then it becomes more and more. Okay. That gets us to our fears. What are our fears. The first main fear is you cant be standing next to me when im fighting and cant be exposed to the fight. Lets be realistic. They will not be just advising. If they are in the bad stuff they have to get involved. They want to bush the advisers out to the brigade level, the basic combat unit for the iraq army, the ones engaging isis so they will be right there. Okay. So that starts to feel like 1991 like what the term that was birthed called Mission Creep. Right. I dont know if youve been watching the 60s, but it was on vietnam, and it has been suggested this feels like that, you know. Were going to go in, we only need to do this much. This happened in 91 and happened in vietnam. Whats the chance it doesnt happen here . And i think the president was very clear he doesnt want that to happen, even used that term, Mission Creep. I dont want my kids to use bad words but whats the reality here . I spoke with firms at the pentagon and they have been told thats it, 300. Well see. That takes us to the next kind of, you know, surprise value here. Isis has taken over not just an oil refinery, which is important for economic things and it shows control, but a chemical weapons facility. Chemical weapons facility . Isnt that the one virtue of our having gone to iraq was to get rid of these stockpiles . How do they still exist . This was the largest chemical weapons facility, Storage Facility and when we got up there in 2003, of course, the weapons werent used since the iran iraq war. They have all deteriorated and are in bad shape, and my understanding is that the engineers looked at this and said this stuff is too dangerous to even approach. All the time weve been there, they were left there. I believe there,was a bad decision. Somebody should have either buried this stuff or taken steps to where does it go on the list of bad decisions . We blew up one of these depots before. And it exposed a lot of troops, including me to sarin gas, so its very dangerous to handle this stuff. What does that mean about their capability to use it . Do they have the technology, and are they even stable enough to be used . I dont know. I dont think anybody knows until they get in there, but, remember, these guys that are joining isis are former members of the iraqi army, the former members of the iraqi army are the ones that built this stuff and used it. All right. We talked about the refinery already. We have an animation to put up about that. That gives them economic control and gives them leverage in terms of what you have to do with them, right . This is a big problem for domestic iraqi economy because that refinery provides about half of the refined gasoline for iraq. Doesnt do much for the International Scene but really puts the pressure on the iraqis. Right. So this is giving them leverage. Heres a concern. As they were moving down, all right, yeah, they are taking these places in the northeast but really the kurds will come back in and take their lands back and they will get weaker by the time they get to baghdad. Its not happening. They are moving along. They are at equal or greater strength because they are being joined by members of the baathist party, Saddam Husseins army, and a lot of these people are fighters, trained by us . Its like a snowball, getting stronger and stronger. Everybody thought they would string them out and make great air targets but they are concentrating their force around baghdad and putting pressure on it and you saw they took backbahr the northeast of baghdad. That sets them up around the northeast and northwest part of baghdad. Theres not much else on the other side so they have kind of a base now to move on baghdad. Can they move on baghdad . I dont think so. So thats the good news. Right. While i want to be realistic about these things and i think the fact that the chemical weapons are still there and they are now in control of them shows a real failure what have we were supposed to be doing in this country all these years, but the reality is still do you believe or do we believe, does the pentagon believe these guys have what it takes to take on the forces that are in and around baghdad . They put the pressure in the city, can cause a lot of problems there. The real problem, chris, is what do we do now . Do we eject these people from iraq or accept the status quo, accept the existence of a radical Islamic Group inside a country controlling territory . And i think thats what these advisers are going to be there. Set up two operations center, one in baghdad and one further north, and it looks to me what they will try to do is try to cut these guys off and surround them because they have to get out of them. Cant live with these guys in iraq. The best word youre hearing from those who know is do they think they can get rid of them completely, or is it about control in. Thats why they are there to assess to see if the iraqis are capable of doing this. The bad news is our fighting men and women are back on the ground and the good news is they are the best in the world and they will be the best ones to know what can be done about it. They will be there probably sometime this week. Colonel, thank you very much. Kate, over to you. A major anthrax scare unfolding in atlanta. Some 75 workers may have been unintentionally exposed at the centers for Disease Control. Early reports show a lab didnt properly handle samples which were then used in different labs not equipped to handle live anthrax. Senior medical correspondent Elizabeth Cohen is tracking all the developments from the cnn center in atlanta. I mean, elizabeth, this has everybody wondering how simply Something Like this could happen. Right, the cdc, they have such strict rules about what happens in their labs, and it is sort of alarming to think that that could happen. Just to give you more details, kate. The highlevel lab was handling anthrax. Their job, deactivate it, kill it, so that these low level labs can deal with it. Well, they thought they had deactivate it had, gave it to the lower labs, and the lower level labs said wait a minute, some of this stuff is alive, were not supposed to have this so they went back and cdc folks are trying to figure out how this happened. Im told by a source that one of the things that they think know happened is theres supposed to be a 48hour waiting period. Youre supposed to kill this stuff and then wait 48 hours to make sure you really killed this. They didnt wait the 48 hours. Kate . Which you can only assume there will absolutely be a major review on why something as simple as wait 48 hours that wasnt followed this time around. Absolutely. Most importantly how are the staffers, the employees . 75 of them potentially exposed. Are they starting treatment already . Yes, they are, being offered antibiotics. Many are taking the antibiotics. Now im told, and this is really important, that none of them are showing signs of anthrax exposure. Thats really important. None of them are sick at this point and the cdc says when you look at how they wrecks posed at the anthrax the chance that anything bad is going to happen to them, the chances of infection are very low. Something you can take away from it, but what a scare for them. And everyone who works at that facility, thank you so much, elizabeth. Well check back in with you. . Thanks so much. Lets take a look at your headlines.
