CNN: Pentagon: We're gaining on ISIS
Washington (CNN)It's not yet "mission accomplished," but the Pentagon may be edging closer to its goal of stopping ISIS.
"We very much see ISIL largely in a defensive posture inside Iraq, that whatever momentum they had been enjoying has been halted, has been blunted. That has stayed steady over the last couple of weeks," said Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby.
Briefing reporters on Tuesday, Kirby said the change is occurring mainly in Iraq for now.

My Comment:I do not share in this Pentagon spokesman's positive assessment ... not even close .... especially when I read stories on what is happening on the ground like this one .... Iraqi Tribal Leader Describes The Disaster That Happened When His Fighters Lost To The Islamic State.
