Well, there was exactly one question asked about the assault on Tikrit.

When I was at the White House this week, I had extensive discussions with officials on the operation in Tikrit, but didn’t get the chance to ask about it during the daily briefings. On Wednesday, CBS News Chief White House Correspondent Major Garrett asked Press Secretary Josh Earnest about Tikrit, and also noted the absence of any other interest in this story. “There’s been something going on Tikrit in the last three or four days we haven’t had a chance to ask you about,” he said, before asking Earnest about the offensive.
