Sometimes, our expectations of being all-knowing is somewhat unrealistic. At the end of the day, there are people out there who mean harm to us, are thinking about doing harm to us and motivated to do it, and we don't know what that is.
From Jack Keane
Qatar has funded and helped arm ISIS. They also, as we all know, fund Hamas. That's got to stop. And we've got to use our pressure against that country to knock that stuff off.
Economically, ISIS is making money every day on the black market with their oil fields. But they are also putting money in banks. We know where those banks are. We should go after the banks and the facilitators using them.
We should be robustly assisting the Free Syrian Army with equipment and also with training.
What did we want out of Iraq? We wanted a country that was stable and secure, that elected its own government, that was not going to be a threat to its neighbors and also was capable of protecting and defending itself. That was our objective in Iraq.
The only people that have ever fought ISIS in Syria is not the regime; it is the Free Syrian Army.
Fighting forces, particularly ground forces, have to operate on the basis of unit cohesion.
It's not that I can't be fooled, but I'm not fooled often.
United States and our allied partners need to wake up. ISIS is at war with us and civilization.
While conducting a conventional war in Iraq and Syria, ISIS has staged terrorist attacks on a global scale against the people from the countries who are fighting ISIS.
