Despite promises by the Obama administration to end the Iraq war in less than a year and a half, author Thomas Ricks believes that the war will be over far later than sooner. In his new book "The Gamble", Ricks sheds light from his international experience into the war, giving readers the intimate details as to what really went on in Iraq, and why he believes that Americans will still be in the war after Obama leaves office. Ricks reveals Gen. Petraeus's involvement in the surge and the battles he faced with insurgent forces, as well as the battles he faced within members of his own military. Larry talks to Ricks about his illuminating and insightful book that help unravel some of the mysteries surrounding the Iraq war.
