Which is it? what do you make of the messages? >> its very confusing. its very confusing not only for all of us who know a bit about isis, but even for the american public. remember, if theres one particular audience that president trump cares about, it is really the domestic audience, his base. he will say whatever it takes to satisfy the political base. this is what matters to him. the physical, territoryial state is almost dismand led, almost. they are still fighting in syria. i argue that is...

End of americas fight against terror. it is clear on syrias front line the battle against isis as a territoryial entity is down, but the war on isis is far from over. >> reporter: fighters are loading up for the final battle against whats left of this so-called islamic state. now, holed up in a tiny corner of land in eastern syria. with coalition air support, the u.s. backed syrian democratic forces have driven isis out of all but a sliver of territory along the euphrates river. its easy to see ...

Face, president barack obama failed to defeat isis, i did it. isis is not defeated. american generals, everyone in the civilian, basically community, myself included. i have written a book on isis two years ago. i know not only isis is not defeated, you have between 30 and 40,000 al qaeda affiliates in syria. american generals estimate there are 50,000 isis in iraq, not to mention the sign up in egypt, yemen, africa and other places. we have to show humility and say, yes, the military aspect of ...

Isis believe there are thousands of active combaters, isis combaters even though the physic physic physical territorial states. the fact i would argue is the next phase, the next phase of the fight against isis is as difficult as the dismantling of the caliphate. it is dynamic, adaptive and will most likely go under ground and buy its time and basically, recover in the next three years, unless the real fight, which is not military, basically both in iraq and syria takes place. >> absolutely. we ...

George w. bush when he declared the mission was accomplished on the invasion in iraq. we know what happened between 2003 and 2007 or 08. the fight, the battle against isis goes on. this is what the president and his advisers must realize. not the military means, but the social political and diplomatic aspects of this fight. >> right. you always point that out when you come on the program because you cant physically see pockets of isis in syria. that does not mean they have gone away. as you say,...

Country doesnt need the help. the opposition leader says he will try to deliver aid to venezuelans as early as next week. hes also warning the military against stopping the delivery. >> translator: we have spoken clearly to the armed forces. it is now a humanitarian issue to prohibit the aid, which i insist is destined to save lives in this first stage. it could be considered a crime against humanity. >> the head of the red cross is working with both sides, meaning guaido and mr. maduro to distr...

The active fighting stopped a while ago, these soldiers say. incoming or outgoing, okay, outgoing, he responds. he was, however, mistaken. so, the soldiers here have told us its been quiet for the last at least week or so. but, just a moment the soldier was telling me that, there was an incoming round landing right over there. so, quiet, i guess in this instance is a relative term. this is the commander of the anti-isis forces at the front and warns against assuming the war is almost over. isis ...

Continue to fight covertly and could regroup. >> the united states military, our coalition partners and the syrian democratic forces have liberated virtually all the territory previously held by isis, syria and iraq. it should be formally announced sometime, probably next week, that we will have 100% of the caliphate. >> german chancellor angela merkel is contradicting mr. trump. she says isis fighters are being pushed out of the last remaining territory, they are becoming a dangerous asymmetric...

Africa. the question is, how do you fight that? how does the world continue to keep a watch and try to dismantle these sleeper cells and small units? >> you know, let me be direct. i mean, i think the military aspect of the fight against isis is very crucial. now that the physical state is dismantled in iraq and syria, in fact, what we need is really nonmilitary means to hammer a deadly nail in the coffin of isis. what i really mean, you need to help devastate the societies in iraq and syria and...
