Already power, electricities intromitted in the capital, not get 24 hours today, we can hear the pumping sound those are the generators 5 used in businesses and private homes, and most people can not afford to run the generator 4 for several hours every day, the loss on the refinery could be longer black out here for many families,

a big question for tonight concerns at how much and what kinds of American military involvement in if any at all the white house has ruled it out has sending combat forces back into Iraq, for look at he extending planning for all the other options joining now xxx by chief national security , also a retired 11 army general on cnn military analysis, Jame Spider Marks, Jame let me assure with you that the phone call all that we just learned about just by vice 12 president and Malivky what details do we know? What we know is who spoke 7 with Maliky also speak with the president of Kuirdish, xxx as well as the speaker of the Iran parliament, and when you look at the read out of the call you see the consistency 13 message coming from the administration that is he is saying let us talk about the potential military assistant for Iraq forces, let us always tackled with the political component 14 he says with directly Maliky saying so have to be prepared with Maliky reaching out to the other minorities the Sunnies, the Curtishes, so these acting 15 on behalfof Iraq on the whole, Iraq is a whole and not just the shiet majority at which Malitky is a member as well, this is interesting because we also hear today from general David Patria, of course the commander with Iraq contend the search 2007, rescue Iraq from its last few month till civil war he had a similar message in London saying warning against military involvement in Iraq and let it has political component and lets it have conjunction with Iraq government that is executing on behalf of all its people and not just a minority there.
