they're closer to isis than we would imagine with the demise of isis. that moment is big when they lost the caliphate in -- we would expect from any other organization that would at least fracture, seek elements of it saying we no longer are part of that group. but we haven't seen that. despite some of the reporting. that's very, very significant. that has implications for long-term. if he managed to say i built a caliphate, transition to insurgen insurgency, war of attrition for a long time. for another moment, another opportunity in the future and these opportunities exist in syria and iraq and the wider region, then he could be able -- he could position himself, present himself in the future as a leader who made a difference at some point in time. but if he was killed, if the affiliates were fractured as the caliphate collapsed, then that would undermine that project for a long time and present an alternative to it. we've seen afghanistan and sinai and yemen, even in west africa becoming more and more closer to isis. by that i mean, they're becoming

population that in fact all of them fall into this isis category that they might say they are not isis now but in fact every city in iraq substantial part of operation is considered to be suspect. >> there is that sense and i think people also thought people got up and went and joined the fight against isis and were able to repel isis in both sunni and shiite did that not just one particular group and also have to say the sunni publish and certainly is somewhat justified in their sense that they were mistreated and that they bought into something with isis that they had no idea what they were getting into. this is as many displaced sunnis out there as well. what we have now is the iranian backed militia fully ground that the population's are christians and you see them go back there even though isis is no longer there because the militia is holding its ground. >> generally, coming from his office -- [inaudible] >> yeah. >> that's a piece of iraq that has always puzzled me that the problem that the secretary and identity becomes so strong that then the map becomes more determinative tha

these include isis fighters, their families and children born under isis' rule. i encourage nations around the world to bring their citizens home and deliver justice as america has done by example. i was greatly concerned by the announcement that the united states, as was the chairman, that we would draw our military presence from syria. fortunately, the administration has slow-walked its time line for withdrawal. i would argue that we cannot afford to withdraw and leave a vacuum, just as the obama administration did in iraq, which caused isis to rear its ugly head. as violence and instability continue to plague iraq and syria, the world must support a sovereign democratic iraq and counter the meddling of nations like iran that we heard in our classified briefing yesterday. compounding an already dire situation, bashar al assad continues to consolidate his hold over syria through unrelenting brutality. most recently, he and his russian backers escalating their attacks on innocent civilians in idlib, contrary to international agreements. chairman engel and i have

to repel isis. it was not just one particular group. i also have to say that the sunni population certainly is somewhat justified in their sense that they were mistreated, and that they bought into something that was isis and they had no idea what they were getting into. there are many misplaced sunnis out there as well. we have these iranian-backed militias that sunni populations or christians used to live and they cannot go back. even isis is no longer there because these she a militias hold this ground. mr. alterman: generally coming from the south, as i understand. iraq that hase of always puzzled me. secretarym that the and identity becomes so strong, that then the map becomes more determinative than it can really be and you have pockets of this and pockets of that and it is almost like redlining in a u.s. racial sense. that is the problem in iraq and kurdistan? . how do people talk about that problem, the problem of sectarianism still being so important to the way iraq works? sen. duckworth: w

partners pounded isis targets with air strikes. warian qamishli is a kurd has been commanding all-female s.d.f. fighters in this area throughout the w against isis. to her, this was a deeply personal mission >> ( translated isis attacked us. they took the yazidi women and kept them as sex slaves. they wanted to destroy the yazidi religion. they wanted to rebuild their caliphate here. not only women-- everyone in this area held weapons and stood against this barbarian enemy. we have nothing other than this land, and, as women, if they attack us, we will take up weapons anfight. anyone would resist. >> reporter: as the battlefield fighting ends here, the geopolitics becomes more dangerous. in many ways, the defeat of isis as a group that can control its own territory syria is really just the ending of one phase of this war and the beginning of a very new, complex, and dangerous time. ths e kueated their own semi-autonomous area of syria, called rojava, back when the syrianution began, pushing back government forces from their areas.

isys. this hearing is just over two and half hours. . >> [inaudible conversations] he is [inaudible conversations] [ banging gavel ] the committee will come to order. without objection, all members will have five days to submit statements, extraneous material and questions for the record subject to the length, limitation and the rules. excuse me. the committee convenes this morning to address the crisis that has been raging in syria for nine years, as well as the trump administration's approach to this problem. we're glad to be joined by ambassador james jeffrey, the state department special representative for syria engagement and special envoy to the global coalition to defeat isis. welcome, ambassador jeffrey. i've known you for many years and i want to thank you for your time and many years of service doing a fine job. welcome to members of the public and press, as well. i now recognize myself for an opening statement. i view the crisis in syria as one of the greatest tragedies of our ti

>> don't know that isis could've been avoided. because, again, i don't know that we could've prevented the prime minister from taking the actions that he took, which enflamed the sunni community t and thk their eyes off of the remnants of al-qaeda in iraq. we had destroyed al-qaeda in iraq, not just defeated it. but we were very, very helpful to the iraqi counterterrorism service their special operations, their intelligence to keep an eye on these remnts. because, again, you never totally eliminate it. i mean, the current situation is somewhat similar. there are tens of thousands, probably, of isis survivors that will now resortns togent activity and to terrorist activity, and we need to keep an eye on these, and we need to help our partners as we do that. this is a generational struggle. this is not a fight where u can take a hill, plant the flag, and go home to a victory parade. >> the trump administration, though, did declare that we've defeated isis. c here'sp of president trump. >> we just took over --pt you know, you earing

mister jeffries is a special on faith for the global coalition against isys. this hearing is just over two and half hours. . >> [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] . >> the committee will come to o. . . . . welcome to the members of the public and press as well. i recognized myself for an opening statement and view the crisis is one of the greatest tragedies of time. i've dealt with the syrian issue for the entire time in congress, even when very few people were talking about this. now in the past few years it is just impossible. it really makes you cry, hundreds of thousands of innocent murdered at the hands of bishara lessard. bombs and chemical weapons used against civilians have seen the images of his cruelty and shocking display here right in this room when we hosted the photographer who defected to show the world the barbarity of the regime. billions upon billions, massive humanitarian crisis and from the outside a collective global leadership to put a stop to the violence year after year after year it breaks my heart and it's a failure o

ambassador jeffrey serves four engagement and special envoy for the coalition to defeat isis. he's held several senior national security position including the deputy national security adviser and the ambassador to iraq, turkey and of course one of my favorite. i now recognize you for five minutes. >> thank you for the opportunity to brief you on the policy today. the policy we have laid out in the written testimony that you just entered into the record space upon the report entitled the strategy submitted in classified form to the congress by the president at the end of february inconsistent with voiceand consistent withvoices s including the recent members of both houses on how we should go forward. the committee has laid out the many tragedies associated with this conflict and the crimes of the regime. there are so many i would like to add a few and emphasize a few others. the refugee flow and internally displaced persons float together has amounted to over 11 million people almost half of the country's population had fled their home is mainly to avoid what he does to his o

isis as an a isis as insurgent groups and terrorist elements are going to be something with which the iraqis and the syrianh and othee to contend for quite some time. >> general westmoreland, who was the commanding general in vietnam came on this program with william f. buckley jr. after the vietnam war, and he had this to say about the battlefield. >> mm-hmm. >> i mean, he is, and that man with a bayonet. infantry soldier is, rather, the ultimate weapon.as >> the worldurned many times in the decades since general westmoreland made that statement. and now, certainly, a man with a rifle, with a bayonet, soldier on the ground, certainly can be the arbiter on a particular battlefield, but increasingly, that soldier is supported by or even perhaps augmented or replaced by a soldierse with a mr a joystick, flying an unmanned aerial c vehicle, whi conduct a kinetic strike. certainly, in the fightit against isisook infantrymen on the ground -- iraqi, syrian, and so forth with our support, but our support was unmanned aerial vehicles, it was a fusion of aferent forms of intelligence and advic

with a few delays we got it with the defeat of isis. previously here he was the first in the obama administration to get it and you saw quite effective coherent internationally well supported campaign backed by the congress that did at least the initial job of defeating the caliphate. e have not had that same consistency, that same unity on the syrian problem since 2011. we're trying to put it together now. that's why we're working with you. we're working with the international community. and again i think we're making progress. mr. phillips: moving to the here and now. i'd love a a concrete example or examples of how our policy has been successful so far, especially anything you may not have mentioned yet. concrete examples. mr. jeffrey: i have been trying as far as i have for the last hour to give you every single one i could think of. i will start off with repeating myself. the battle lines have been basically frozen since last year. almost a year now. that was not the case before. and that underlines the argument which even the russ

is isis new, improved and deadly? >>> also, measles, mumps, rubella and polio were also supposed to have been effectively vanquished in the west. but now measles outbreak abounds right here in new york city. what explains this? i'll tell you. >>> but first, here's my take. understanding donald trump's foreign policy is a bit of a challenge since the president has written and spoken little on the subject for most of his life. so, how do make sense of his world view? is there a trump doctrine? michael anton, a former trump national security official, believes there is, and he explains it in a new essay on foreign policy. let's all put our own country's first and be candid about it and recognize it's nothing to be ashamed of. as daniel larison responds, this is not a doctrine. it's a banality. anton does outline a certain kind of nationalist conservativism that seems at the heart of donald trump's world view. more important since trump is inconsistent and could change his mind tomorrow, it reflects the views of the man w

border population that in fact all of them fall into this category that they might say they are not isis now but every sunni is a substantial part of rtthe population is suspect. >> there is bound to send but i think also people got up and went and joined the fight and were able to retell and that's the reason they did that. it wasn't just one particular group. i also have to say the population certainly is somewhat justified in the sense that they were mistreated but they bought into something and have no idea what they were getting into. what we have now is these iranian backed militia on the ground that the sunni populations are christians live and they can't even go back even though it's no longer there because the militia holds ground. >> generally coming from the south as i understand. and that's a piece of iraq that's always puzzled me the problem that the sectarianat identity becomes strong that bun the map becomes more determinative than it can really be. you have pockets of this in pockets of that and it's like redlining in a racial thing and that is the problem in iraq and kur

and isis has the same job. weeks, i was talking suggestede, and i something, i told them i would like to establish a university college. michael: i need you to get to the point. >> ok. michael: so we can have time to answer the questions. toi was talking with friends establish a university college. and i asked them what the best to bend brand for this established, and they told me that we need american university in this area. thank you so much. michael: thank you. three questions. the first one is on diplomacy. giving diplomacy a chance who would like to at -- tackle that one? geneive: it is sort of difficult for americans to understand this, but i think the way to think about the foreign minister is to compare him to john bolton. some influence, but it is very limited within the iranian regime. he does not necessarily call the shots. he certainly does not call the shots. he was criticizing publicly president rouhani. the foreign minister comes here and goes on all of the talk shows and talks all the time abou

i was held by isis forfour really difficult. i was held by isis for four years really difficult. i was held by isis forfour years and really difficult. i was held by isis for four years and i suffered a lot, beating, thirst and hunger. but what would be even worse would be to have my son taken off me now. this is a camp in north—eastern syria. it is home to about 70,000 women and children from the islamic state. they were rounded up when coalition forces defeated jihadist fighters. conditions are dire and many of the inhabitants still cling to isis's eight field ideology. yet it is thought that many years it is also among its residents, hiding the children they brought to. this doctor is a kurdish activist looking for women and persuade them to go home. how many women are for women and persuade them to go home. how many women are we for women and persuade them to go home. how many women are we talking about and how many children? those who are coming back now... and how many each? most of them have one, up to three orfour many each? most of them have one, up to three or four ki

upwards of 10000 isis fighters support elements within syria and iraq. they are completely unrepentant. that is something we intend or are expected to do it for many years to come. this is transition to the entering the defeat of isis but i would say that in a way that does not minimize how important that is because it's not going away. italy is essentially the largest collection in the world right now. a minute inside into what is going on and it is to your question that we worry about a great deal. specifically to iraq a lot of dod in my former organizations spend time in iraq building up their security forces and i think they can be proud of the effort to win that. especially the counterterrorism services highlights one in particular in its proven that effort was worth it and i spent considerable amount of time ridding their country with support but they did it of isis. long-term stability i think it's important that we are there. i think our presence in iraq is hugely significant in one of the biggest factors when it comes to u.s. influence in the mi

so it's -- it is a good thing that isis no longer controls territory. but there was a lot of cost that i think would subdue any type of celebration necessarily. some of the things that lessons learned, i think, that came out of this, and that we'll deal with going ahead. it is something we are still dealing with the foreign , terrorist fighters. we have nonstate actors with unlimited resources that has over 1,000 foreign terrorist fighters that come from 50 different countries. i don't think the international community should sit on the sidelines and just watch them deal with it. i think there's a responsibility for the insisterinternational community to take their citizens back. that is one thing i definitely -- i do not know if it is lessons learned, but definitely something i think is important. ilan: in terms of way forward, especially, i'd say, both -- maybe also talking about iraq and the way forward in iraq. how do you see that? obviously we have a pretty challenging situation. but also one where -- at least where i pull back, i sort of look at i

you found isi because you were looking for the ideas. you stayed with isi because you wanted to stay in the community. your support of isi in an ongoing fashion is critical so that current students and future students and future generations have the same access to these ideas and community that you did. so i hope that you will support isi and continue to support us and support the conservative book of the year and other events like this that we have. and with that, remember to stop by and meet the doctor and buy a book. god bless you all. have a good night. thank you.

or we help the iraqi central government against isis we helped help the syrian government against isis we helped the lebanese government against isis this is our policy which is consistent consistency is the focus of our policy we run a policy that is for stability that is why we support the government of qatar we reject any. pressure on the government of qatar as we reject any pressure on the government of turkey but that's the same argument that the saudis make for intervening in yemen they are there on the request of the legitimate government which the who these overthrew and who iran supplied last i checked the president the former president of yemen. we drew from all of this in spite of the request made by many then he was reinstalled by saudi arabia we cannot change history these are facts of history but in yemen since day one we called for a ceasefire we remember our four point peace plan ceasefire. immediate humanitarian assistance and inclusive. among gay minis and an inclusive government this has been the basis of iran's policy we requested the ceasefire be a ceasefire we use

but nobody knows how to defeat isis better than the u.s. military. they effectively have done it twice. they beat al qaeda in iraq and then they came back again with many partners to take territory away from isis. and nobody takes more seriously the threat of isis's reemergence or the threat of an expansionist iran than the united states military. but i'm here today to talk about our president's refusal over and over again to listen to the advice that he is being given by his generals and by his advisors at the department of defense. instead he is listening to the iran hawks inside the white house that think about this problem through the air conditioned safety of their west wing offices with little regard to how things actually work on the ground in the real world of the middle east. and so i want to talk about our two main objectives today in iraq and in iran, and i want to frame it in the context of today's disastrous news that the iranians are restarting elements of their nuclear weapons program. first let's talk about a bipartisan commitment tha

i don't think that they are so much a part isis. in general, while this may be a common enemy, in this situation, russia has a strategy of let the u.s. and others fight isis, not russia. >> really quickly, if i can but -- if i can add on, i agree with everything that you both have said but i just want to point out countering violent extremism is one of russia's rationale for being in the region. it is part of the foreign policy , something you routinely here, that spreading violent extremism spreading instability and spreading terrorism not only into russia's border but also as -- also abroad, that is one of its rationales for being in the middle east. >> the ones i saw was a gentleman in the striped shirt or striped tie there and the young lady in the turquoise shirt and then barbara. >> very interesting. i work in energy and international affairs. i teach in berlin but i'm here as a fellow at wilson. my question is this. well, is this a possibility? putintimes i know of dumped uranium, each time after negotiations, two george bush

's support a diplomatic solution. >> i would recommend someone call the minister to let him know we are not taking sides. do you agree that that would be smart? that there's been confusion? >> communication is vital. >> we are almost done. iran -- if they restart their nuclear program, reprocessing would you consider that a threat , to the united states? >> we look at iran and to see four threats that exist i

it's not about al qaeda or isis. even if it were, our resolution, the one we're talking about today in the context of a veto override, that resolution explicitly states that it would not impede the military's ability to fight the terror groups. furthermore, there is evidence that our involvement in yemen might well have and probably has further destabilized the region, it's actually undermined the effort a against al qaeda's affiliates. 2016 state department report found the conflict between the saudi's led forces and the insurgence has actually helped al qaeda in the insula and isis yemen branch to deepen their inroads across much ofse the country. so no, involvement in yemen is far from being in the best interest of the u.s. not even by a shred. every day, it only becomes clearer and clearer that saudi not an ally that deserves our unwavering unquestioning support the militaryst event ordination. especially when our own security, the security of the american people is not on the line. ask october, there was the kil

of the nearly 5,000 open terrorism investigations isis or isis related. the recent terror attack in sri lanka shows lou the threat is evolving. the attack there does have foreign influence from isis on the operatives but would not get specific on whether it included financing or training. an al qaeda related terrorism, the fbi official documented 5,000 cases, explaining bin laden's number two who took over the network in 2011 remains relevant though he has not communicated wisely with his followers. the official would not discuss bin laden's son given sensitive intelligence matters. but our contacts report he is likely in the border region between pakistan and iran and being groomed as a leader or figure head. what has the attention of investigators is the spike in the number of domestic terrorism investigations since last october. the official would not get into the numbers, but the cases include religious or racially motivated crimes, noting the recent synagogue shooting in san diego, as well as the attack in pittsburgh last october, where 11 were kille

mothers who were freed by isis or ice now face a very hard choice and it's whether or not they want to return to their families in iraq or give up their children because the children born of rape often cannot come home with them here's what one of our community members has to say about that this is someone on twitter who says if these kids are not a part of the community where do they belong they'd be strewn in waste bins ducts or for your thoughts on that yeah well i always say big easy to attack. you know the question should not be put to work before everyone else you have to put the question to you rocky government and you know the law in iraq by florida. so if you want born by. the child so when you are. looking for a thing no but when putin is the women come back with her child then north. and also by florida going to be if say that you can be converted for any other religion who want lamp but it will be around so i don't question the we care who actually did it and they don't have any voice and they don't have any right i have the right in government or the board of iraqi governm

second point on the question of the isis coalition. i'm completely agreeing with toria. the isis coalition has been led by the united states. the united states can lead any coalition. if you do not have the united states, which is what the problem was or the issue was in libya, th president of the united states said we are going theand command-and-control this operation off to somebody else. there is no one out there saying, we will do it. unless nato takes over, does not get done, which by the way is also a u.s. led military coalition. the u.s. military essentials of both of those things. that's the fundamental point. the system we have created over the last 70 years is based on american leadership. if the americans are not there, the system is going to change. i don't think it is going to change for the better. it is going to be like winter. and the chinese made rule in a way we don't like. if we do not like the alternatives, we have to support a continued american engagement in the world. >> one -- two things are clear. one is that we have discussed how nato still has

these are still on land and carlos but for the time being but i think most people that would be on isis tell us a little bit about the history of isis attacks in egypt that this isn't the 1st time that they've tried to talk us to talk a tourist if it is indeed and then who are behind this potential this attack today not only men they're responsible for the most notorious worst. history. or ever actually the better genocide in which they found an entire russian possibly that has taken off the ball are not from some shit and that attack slog through their mattocks rock with a number that is ready egypt it's a fox a number of countries to suspend flights to egypt and gaza so that you'd like some back although some still haven't seen flight sign on. it saying that it's not a devastating impact on the on the country beyond the given full force of the number of people killed and so they sort of have a history of this and they have an interest in undermining the sort of military government which talks like this to. my support ability and security apparatus that this legitimize it has it's goin

it is not about isis. and even if it were, our resolution, senate joint resolution seven, the one we are talking about today in the context of a veto override debate, that resolution explicitly states that it would not impede military stability to fight these terror groups. but for the more, there is evidence that our involvement in yemen might will have, in fact, probably have further destabilized the region, and that it has actually undermined the efforts against al-qaeda is the affiliates. 2016 state department report found that the conflict between the saudidi led forces and the houthi insurgents has actually helped al-qaeda in the arabian peninsula, also known as aqap, and isis yemen branch, to quote, deepen their inroads, deepen their inroads across much of the country, close quote. so no, involvement in yemen is far from being in the best interest of the nine states, madam president. not in the slightest. not even by a shred. and every day it only becomes clearer and clearer the saudi arabia is not

or we help the iraqi central government against isis we helped help the syrian government against isis we helped the lebanese government against isis this is our policy which is consistent consistency is the focus of our policy we run a policy that is for stability that is why we support the government of qatar we reject any a pressure on the government of qatar as we reject any pressure on the government of turkey but that's the same argument that the saudis make for intervening in yemen they are there on the request of the legitimate government which the who these overthrew and who iran supplied last i checked the president the former president of yemen. we drew from this in spite of the request made by many then he was reinstalled by saudi arabia we cannot change history these are facts of history but in yemen since day one we called for a ceasefire you remember our four point peace plan ceasefire. immediate humanitarian assistance and inclusive. among gay minis and an inclusive government this has been the basis of iran's policy we requested the ceasefire be a ceasefire we used our
