Week In The News: Iraq At War, Deadly Twisters, An Amazon Phone (Tom Ashbrook, On Point)

American troops, headed back to a reeling Iraq this week.  ISIS militants and their allies, sweeping across the country.  Oil and Baghdad threatened.  And the US president, putting “boots on the ground” – again.  Not combat troops, the President insisted.  Not now.  Not ever.  But Special Forces are headed in.  Iraq’s not over.  In Libya, an arrest in the Benghazi attack.  In Washington, new Republican leadership.  Missing IRS e-mails.  More heat on the Redskins to change their name.  And Dick Cheney goes on the attack.  This hour, On Point:  Our weekly news roundtable goes behind the headlines. / Tom Ashbrook
