Obama: 'We gave Iraq the chance'

CNN's Kate Bolduan sits down with President Obama to discuss Iraq and Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki.

We Gave Obama the chance and he failed.

[Zander]

We gave Iraq the chance, we provided as much humanitarian bombs from the sky as we could, yet still they run wild. How can that be?

[stm]

Japan, Korea, Vietnam, Nicaragua, Panama, Haiti, Libya, Grenada, Cuba, Iraq, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Sudan, Libya, Ukraine. Who's next?

[ScottBogert]

Jesus offers Iraq hope, even while Obama does not.

[usssanjacinto]

She doesn't interrupt him, she doesn't contradict him, nor does she ask him curveball questions. It was so obvious the Media protects the Democrat Party establishment.

[laitha]

im an Iraqi american who served in the US army in Iraq, during OIF, No one gave iraq a chance it was  set up to fail and wasn't ready,  

[seseljevac]

Maybe Putin should give you a chance as you have given Iraq!

[Sharon]

I probably have a drone hovering my house now in a governmental advisory capacity.

1 month later,  Obama: 'Why We Lost Iraq ?'

[ominous]

Some countries can't be helped. we've been there way too long

[Kman]

I'm really glad Obama doesn't seem to be pushing to go into Iraq. He seems to understand that nothing good can come from it. I'm not naive to believe that this will stick forever but based on what I've seen so far, he seems very much against any long term involvement. I do not think we will be getting drastically involved in Iraq like we were. let's hope at least.

[iunited]

obama you turning on the blind eye. look at the head of the iraqi army he is kurdish,
look the the defence minister he is sunni, look at the ISF commander he is kurdish,
most of the Generals in iraq are Sunni

[Betelgeuse]

What a mess....this is all Bush's fault!!

[mistormoniteur]

Is he actually blaming Iraquis for the byproduct of America's doing in the region?

[bingramtube]

Obama sounding reasonable, I like him, and I believe he has done very well, considering.

[akaruuu]

Then why other country dont cooperate to take isis down like chinese and russia they are some powerfull country us should ask them for help and stop fighting

[whoRwe]

Iraq and its leadership got their own choice. Other countries (be democracy or communism or what ever) have their own chosen comforts. If people feel comfortable with their leadership, then it is their will. If someone gives a candy and enjoys the taste of it, it doesnt mean the receiver enjoys the company of the giver. A child can be a child. A user will be a user. There will be always the fool and the one fooled, or the one foolish enough to become a fool.

[michaelbigam]

My only question to the president or Obama, was it your job to give Iraq a chance at a sectarian system. One that is currently breaking down in your own country.

[seansanchez]

WHATEVER THIS  LIAR SAIDS DOES NOT MATTER HE HAS LOST THE FAITH AMERICANS HAD IN HIM AND HIS ACTIONS SPEAK FOR HIM HE IS NOT A MAN THAT SHOULD HAVE ANY PLATFORM TO SPEAK ON ESPEACILLY TO REPRESENT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE " IMPEACH THIS WAR CRIMINAL "

[geoffhoweth]
