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 doesn t generate the revenue that would allow them to buy weapons to attack our partners in europe or the homeland. that s why we re reinforcing positions in the southern part of northern syria. did the withdrawal of u.s. forces from the turkish/syria border accelerate this operation in any way? i don t think so. the withdraw was made because president erdogan said he was ....

Over 100 isis fighters have escaped. it s 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 gave the final order and tho authorized the raid? if it looks successful, as early reports are, you have to give credit to everyone part of the decision making. including president trump? including president trump. all right. let s turn to ambassador bill taylor s testimony. he described a meeting he had ....

We ll watch carefully next steps. as a new leader and leaders pop up, we ll 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 there s still thousands if not tens of thousands of isis terrorists that remain. what is the status of isis right now? as we ve 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 up or coalesce, or establish a training camp, we go in and take them out so they re no longer a threat to the united states, our allies or partners. the president has said they re defeated. they re not fully defeated. it s a physical caliphate. it s hard to defeat an ideology. we re going to have to stay on top of this and make sure we have the capability to go in and destroy targets as they arise. when are all u.s. troops going to leave syria as president trump has said he wants to do, b ....

Leading of abu bakr al-baghdadi? it s big news. it s 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 there s no shelter from the american military. it shows just how capable and professional our military is notwithstanding the disagreements they ve had with the president over syrian policy and if some reports are true that the scf contributed intelligence, it shows how incredible our kurdish partners continue to be even though the president double crossed them in syria. ....

Onto the target. the aim was to capture abu bakr al-baghdadi. and if we couldn t 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? they ve already been returned to duty. that s great. so the president knew about the operation ahead of time, he approved the operation? he was given options earlier this week. he reviewed them. asked great questions. chose the option that he thought gave us the highest probability of success. confirmation that the head of isis would be there, either captured or killed, and we executed from there. was there a lot of deliberation? yes, the president had a chance to hear from me, he had a chance to talk to the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. that decision was made late last ....
