Is problematic for some of the follow-on information that theyre going to gain from this raid because we know that they were able to stay in the house for some time, probably collect some information, and in order to act on that, its hard to launch all of these operations from inside of iraq or in turkey. so i think its going to have not only a follow-on impact, but it could have actually disrupted this operation itself. >> nada, finally you spent a lot of your life tracking isis and learning ab...

Now, abbott technology can target those exact neurons. restoring control and harmony, once thought to belost forever. the most personal technology is technology with the power to change your life. as we noted earlier in the program, president trump has spoken a lot about the weekend raid that led to the death of americas most wanted terrorist, abu bakr al baghdadi. hes provided a graphic and dramatic account of how he says the isis leader died. >> he was whimpering, screaming and crying, and f...

Going to attack regardless. we were opposed to that vehemently and protested as much. our concern was that turkeys actions, unwarranted as they were, would cause us to lose focus on the defeat isis mission. thats the reason were there. and last week i spent in the region talking to many of our allies and i spent time in brussels with our nato allies and reiterated to them our commitment to the enduring defeat of isis. >> and obviously this is a huge blow to isis, to have their leader al-baghdadi...

>> what does this mean for the troops helping protect the oil fields in syria? >> the two are separate, but related. related in the sense that both signify, again, our commitment to the enduring defeat of isis. the troops now that are denying isis access to those oil fields are doing so so we make sure isis doesnt generate the revenue that would allow them to buy weapons to attack our partners in europe or the homeland. thats why were reinforcing positions in the southern part of northern syria....

Over 100 isis fighters have escaped. its good that al-baghdadi is out of the world, the overall downside to the united states may be greater because we have potentially 100 if not more isis fighters reconstituting themselves. good news, but the overall sum of the actions that have happened in syria over the course of the last couple weeks are not good news for the united states. >> you commended the entire team responsible for the death of al-baghdadi, i assume that includes president trump who ...

Well watch carefully next steps. as a new leader and leaders pop up, well go after them as well. >> as you noted, the physical caliphate has largely disappeared as the u.s. and the kurds have beaten it back, but obviously theres still thousands if not tens of thousands of isis terrorists that remain. what is the status of isis right now? >> as weve been saying for some time now, we want to ensure the enduring defeat. that means we have to continually monitor the situation. as we see groups pop u...

Leading of abu bakr al-baghdadi? >> its big news. its important news. it accruines to the benefit of u.s. national security. i congratulation the entire team that made it possible. ultimately taking out a leader of this consequence will be a blow to isis and a reminder theres no shelter from the american military. it shows just how capable and professional our military is notwithstanding the disagreements theyve had with the president over syrian policy and if some reports are true that the scf ...

Onto the target. the aim was to capture abu bakr al-baghdadi. and if we couldnt capture him then of course we were going to kill him. and like i said, the raid was successful. we pulled our troops out. we had two minor casualties, two minor injuries to our soldiers but a very successful, flawless raid. >> when you say minor injuries, they will recover? >> theyve already been returned to duty. >> thats great. so the president knew about the operation ahead of time, he approved the operation? >> h...

They do not want to do, they think it would be a mistake? >> president trumps directive was we leave northern syria, northeastern syria, specifically were the safe zone is being set up by the turks. were halfway through that process, if you will. it will take weeks, not days. at the same time the president said we would keep a presence in southern syria, and recently we got the direction that we would maintain presence in the area of deri ezzor to deny isis and other destabilizing actors access ...
