Jack Keane: We Don’t Have a Strategy for What to Do After We Clean out ISIS from Syria

‘The issue is, what about Syria after we cleaned out ISIS?’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
KEANE: "Clearly what ISIS caliphate in Iraq and Syria is largely gone, we have to clean out what the leaders have led to, they are in the southeastern part of Syria and the euphrates river valley as it runs into Iraq so we have to get down and there and clean all of that out. Then we come to the issue that you are talking about. I don’t think we really have a strategy here. The issue is, what about Syria after we cleaned out ISIS? What the Iranians fully intend to do is they have, with the support of the Russians, they have rolled up western Syria and we are not taking that back. They are staying in power. There is no political procedure that will get him out of power even though the administration desires that. That train has left the station. Eastern Syria is another thing, Martha. The Iranians want to run the table and take over Syria completely and after we clean out ISIS, they are moving in their with Russian support and with Syria and ground forces, but mostly with their own ground forces, the Hezbollah by and large are there by the tens of thousands."
