the main enemy is the ayatollahs in tehran. their control over the maliki government, and the dissension that they've caused inside iraq. there's time to go after isis. there's nothing good to say about them. we can't allow them to establish a state in the sunni areas of iraq. but in the meantime, we can let the predominantly shiite iraqi army engage with isis, and as henry kissinger said about the iran/iraq war of the 1980s, maybe both sides can lose. >> this morning the iranian supreme leader warned against u.s. involvement. do you fear that iraq can become a client state potentially of tehran, and that's where we're potentially going with this? >> i think that's what the al maliki regime unfortunately has become. and it's actually worse than that, since muck tad al sadr came into the picture. this is very complicated. and therefore, we need to focus on what america's core interests are and what the key threats to them is at the moment. that remains iran. nobody should be under any illusion that we can just stand back and let

is that al maliki would see a document figure, i need tehran to help back me. and the head of the force named silamani was apparently in baghdad this week saying hey, we'll help you out because obviously, if you're maliki, you can't be too particular about who you're going to look to to help save you politically and actually, save your neck physically. >> this sounds like the kind if they rip off his head and put it in the street like all the others. i want to ask you about a problem we see up on this wall. these insurgents have been fighting in syria and don't know boundari boundaries. they know sects. so, they're all over this area. if you go in and help them here in iraq, what happens when they just melt into syria? is it possible we have to go help them? no, i'm asking. i don't know, man. i remember being bamboozled 11 years ago. i remember it. i think it would be wrong for us to just sit around and listen and not ask any questions. >> and i'm trying to answer. >> good. >> i understand your concern and probably the majority of americans that we don't want t

about a situation where the president may open dialogue as reported by the wall street journal with tehran. talk to me? >> well, i don't know why he doesn't just call putin. this is, i mean, putin is one who runs the world anyway and he might actually be able to do something. we're going to call the people we're negotiating with nuclear weapons who are violating those and who already invade iraq to help us because essentially what we have here is 1975 occurring right before our eyes. this is the collapse of vietnam. the president and by the way, i want to say harris, i blame the neo-cons on the right, including a place that was irred light to the attack on 9/11 and i blame obama and his administration for the surrender politics that they have engaged around the world. the question is my gosh, isn't there a better way to take care of american interests and not throw away american lives and thousands of lives and trillions in treasure. >> senator lindsey graham is talking to the wall street what could be in the works. >> lindsey graham is one of the people that pat just referred to, the neo-

"wall street journal" reported obama administration is prepping, quote, direct tie -- dialogue with tehran. u.s. spokesman, diplomat and a fox news contributor so rick, iran has killed americans. they're on the state's department list of the greatest state sponsor of terrorism in the world and now president says we are willing to help. should we take them up? >> they've been trying to help us in their way for quite a long time. look. from the very beginning, iranians have tried to kay hold in lebanon, the bush administration pushed the iranians and the sunnis out of lebanon. that was in 2005. then the crisis in syria which is really iran playing a lot of games. now it's going on in iraq. the iranians are enemy. they absolutely want to control this whole area. they're looking to do whatever they can. the problem we've had is that the obama administration has been negotiating with them on the nuclear issue and we've done a terrible job of negotiating. you look at our background on -- our record on negotiations and the idea that we're talking to our enemy is not as much of the problem as who

that breathing space, focusing on a political solution, what are your thoughts about a solution with tehran and trying to figure out how to work. what are your thoughts on that? >> the enemy of our enemy is still our enemy. and maybe they align momentitarimoment earlier but a lot of what we fought about in iraq was iran medaling. iran was trying to destabalize them from the beginning. a lot of the ied's that killed soldiers is believed to have come from iran. i think that is a very bad precedent for the united states to say we found on ally in iran. we have to deal with the issue and how will we do that after coming in to iraq. >> i know in january, you were calling for military intervention and this is something i want to add to viewers people people feel they were caught off guard. i hope you come back. thanks for the time, today. >> i would love to. >> what do you think should be the next step in iraq? airstrikes? our live chat is up. foxnews.com/happeningnow and click on america is asking and we will use your thoughts throughout the show today. >>> rare and deadly. twin tornados hitting

while iran's president has said he is willing to help, tehran is publicly rejecting the possibility of cooperating with washington. secretary of state john kerry cautiously saying, however, nothing's set in stone. >> look, we're open to discussions if there's something constructive that can be contributed. let's see what iran might or might not be willing to do before we start making any pronouncements. i think we are open to any constructive process here that could minimize the violence. >> state department spokeswoman jen psaki tweeted -- to be clear, open to political conversation with iran about threat from isil but not military cooperation. >>> chris darwell, a fox news digital politics editor is my guest right now. hard to keep this all straight depending on if it is the state department tweeting out or the department of defense which seems to be saying something different. then you have john kerry. so how are you putting all this together? >> the way you put it together is that if the united states doesn't want to have "boots on the ground," john kerry talked about the possibili

it out in the short-term and what we should really be focused on now is overthrowing the regime in tehran. >> so you would do nothing, you would let them fight it out to the bitter end in iraq? >> not to the bitter end but in the short-term, i don't see any point in helping the maliki government. he has had his chance to govern fairly in iraq and he has failed. people say that he we don't want iraq to be partitioned, it is already partitioned. the kurds are defactor independent. they will not voluntarily come back in to a unitary government in iran. it's hard for me to imagine the sunnies would ever agree to be 2 5% of an arab state. >> 20/20 hindsight then senator joe biden chairman of the senate foreign relations committee thought we should divide iraq into three parts, kurds, sunni and shites. >> i didn't say it's a good idea but it's the direction it's going in. >> would that have been a good idea. >> depends on what kind of sunni state might have emerged. this kind of sunni state is unacceptable to us. that's why the withdraw of the american forces by the obama administration is so i

this explosion of sunni radicalism, the shiite are establishing a crescent of power that extends from tehran and south lebanon. the whole region which already was royaling has just had the temperatures turned up by these dramatic events. >> thank you. joining me now at the hannity big board to play out exactly what is happening in iraq, bill hemmer is here. what's really important in my mind, here's what we fear. we have iran influencing iraq, obviously the problems here. syria and iraq, a cancer spreads to jordan, lebanon and turkey. >> i know the headlines are in iraq. think about iran right now. saudi arabia down here is sunni, saudi arabia is scared to death of iran becoming a bigger player in the neighborhood. iraq's current government wants iran's help. what's happening here? what's iran afraid of? what's saudi arabia afraid of? kuwait and qatar are sunni as well. the whole area is sunni. their islamic faith connects them, but only to a point now. for the past two years, what's been happening in kuwait and qatar and saudi arabia, they've been worrying about the sunni fighters taking on

far, far away in vienna, the united states has already talked with tehran about isis in iran, a direct discussion took place on the side lines of an already scheduled negotiation about iran's nuclear program. >> we're open to discussions if there is something constructive that can be contributed by iran, if iran is prepared to do something that is going to respect the integrity and sovereignty of iraq and the ability of the government to reform. >> reporter: here in dc, senator john mccain says, quote, it would be the height of folly to believe that the iranian regime can be our partner in managing the deteriorating security situation in iraq. the pentagon, state department and white house each clarified yesterday the talks with iran aren't about joint military operations. they say these are instead just political conversations. back to you in new york. >> all right. thank you very much. so the white house, even though the president said on friday no boots on the ground, sending at least 275 guys over there. it will be curious whether or not they're involved in calling in air strikes '
