, and that resolving these differences goes back to the people and the Iraqi leaders.

In excerpts from longer interviews with several television networks, Obama emphasized that U.S. support will be limited and conditional.

Obama noted that the non-recognition of the concerns of minorities in addition to the ambiguity in the formation of a government after the elections in April has left Iraq vulnerable.

Obama said in Nightly News program in the (NBC) network that "some forces that may always divide Iraq are becoming stronger now and those forces that can maintain the unity of the country have become weaker." The Issue goes back in the end of the Iraqi leadership to restore political matters in the country to its normal form again. "

Obama will send military advisers to Iraq and also threatened to launch air strikes with the control of Sunni Islamists on the north of the country and to achieve progress towards Baghdad. Obama said that the growing mistrust between Shiites and Sunnis boosted tensions in Iraq.

Obama was subjected to criticism from some Republicans for his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Iraq when he did it. Obama defended his decision.

"Being stabile two years ago or four years ago is something and does not mean it is stable now."

Obama said that the challenge facing Iraq is the formation of a government in which the Sunnis, Shiites and Kurds feel that they are represented sufficiently.

Obama said to (CNN station), "it is a part of the job now is to see whether Iraqi leaders are ready to be over the sectarian motives , gather and compromise." If they cannot do that then there will be no military solution to this problem. There is no much firepower that the U.S. can use to unite the country. "

Obama said that "the conditions on which we send any advisers rely on our vision that there is still within the military and the political structure , a government commitment to the unified Iraqi armed forces .
