resident Barack Obama exhorted Iraqi leaders to come up with a political solution to governing their nation because "if they don't, there won't be a military solution to the problem," he told CNN in an interview Friday.
Obama wants to see Iraq create a command structure that includes Shiites, Sunnis and Kurds, which are the country's chief groups, he told CNN's Kate Bolduan.
"We gave Iraq the chance to have an inclusive democracy," Obama said on the eve of U.S. military advisers arriving in Iraq to help the government besieged by militant extremists.

I know the notion that we have a national interest in Iraq isn't popular, but it is true....and, despite what Rand Paul thinks, Obama DID screw it up.
And the fake journalist "interviewing" the occupant apparently didn't challenge anything he spewed. Good little toady.
Bush won the Iraq War.
Obama LOST the Iraq peace.
Period.
Obama you can’t even get Moochie or your own dog to do what you want them to. How are you going to get another nation to “obey”.
This is not political at all. It is an eternal struggle against the minions of hell itself.....Islamics. Islam is the horror and scourge of the planet. Obama has always said that if those winds came that he would come down on the side of Islam. No doubt about wherein his allegiance lies.
“We gave Iraq the chance to have an inclusive democracy,”
.
Waste of American lives, treasure and time to attempt establishing democracy in any Muslim country. From what is happening in Afghanistan, we already know that that adventure will be a failure.
Islam and democracy are totally opposite concepts and the former will destroy the latter when the two are brought together.
It should give the US and Europe a more critical look at importing Muslim immigrants, knowing that they will never accept the system of government of the host country.
WE? Guess that includes your lack of insisting on a "forces of agreement" with your Islamist bro Talabani? No, I don't want to see more troops die for that crap hole, but if we had maintained a deterent force in Iraq and given them time to relish democracy, then we might not have been seeing what is happening today. Can't believe the American trained and equipped Iraq army is deserting in droves. Actually I can.
On the other hand, I have no problem with Sunnis fighting Shiites - keeps them busy. But this new "ISIS" is the worst of the worse, and if they take Baghdad, and loot more money, America will experience another 9/11/2001 and maybe worse. Bank on it.
And Obama, the university lecturer, lectures some more.
“You people in Iraq should breathe air. That’s important. I breathe air, and I’m important. And drink plenty of fluids, too.”
More “cant we be friends” with no good and terrorists style liberal socialism.
He did the same thing to Egypt. Obama is killing Iraq.
But Mr President, How do you propose the Iraqi people do that when half their territory is under terrorist attack by people who cut off fingers - and heads- of voters? Where do you see political compromise with the butchers?
Would you have called for NYC to have new mayoral elections after 911 and to include muslims in the city government before sending federal aid?
Mr President, did we not give Iraq a constitution and did they not just turn out in large numbers to vote in their 4th parliamentary election? If the shia candidates won the “popular vote” why shouldn't they have elected the PM and parliamentary majority?
What constitutional revisions did you and Ms Rodham-Clinton pursue with the Iraqis since 2011, to elevate minorities so they wont turn to violent sectarian murder - which we all know is cloaked as political dissent?
Isn't it a display of the US arrogance you claim to detest that we demand they change the results of their election, after you and the rest of our government wined and dined Maliki for the past 3 years?
“Katie” - don't we wish
crickets
We’re going to overthrow another country’s government? How many does this make now?
Malaki: Mr. President the ISIS troops are 1 hour from Baghdad, we don't have time for that nonsense.
Obama: Well, my offer is conditional, you are not worthy of my support...
Putin: I'll help, what do you need Malaki...
Obama: Hey, wait just a minute there Vladi...
He's not a Paper Tiger - he's a Paper Pussy.

Why would any serious person watch CNN? Really, if any of the 23 people who watch that channel know, please reply.
re: “We gave Iraq the chance to have an inclusive democracy, . . .”
That’s rich coming from Obama. Who was it that resisted our policy from the get go in Iraq?
I don’t know if our staying in Iraq would have made a difference, but prematurely removing ourselves, simply because Obama wanted to keep his promise to his radical base, surely made the situation worse.
At this point, if we do anything militarily, I think air strikes or missiles only - no boots on the ground. We have spent too much blood and thrown billions of dollars at Iraq already.
Blow up all our remaining military equipment and structures, blow up our embassy in Baghdad, get all our people out, then let them kill each other off. Get our oil fields going, the oil sands, fraking, etc.
If we are hit again, find out where it came from and level the place. I think had we done that in Iraq and Afghanistan, though we would have been vilified by the world (which we are anyway whatever we do), there would have followed 50 years of more of relative peace.
What is it with Maliki? Has he been ruling by executive order, hanging out at bath-houses, changing laws inappropriately, playing too much golf, taking too many vacations, using members of terrorists groups as advisers, arming terrorists across the Middle-East, favoring people who hate his nation over his own people, bowing inappropriately to foreign heads of state, screwing up Iraq’s image around the world?
The answer is no. Seems Maliki might want to demand someone else’s resignation.
