CBS: Petraeus: U.S. needs to reevaluate ISIS strategy
NEW YORK -- The U.S.-led coalition is keeping up air attacks on ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria. Yet, the Islamic terror group still controls important territory and cities, including Palmyra in Syria and both Mosul and Ramadi in Iraq.
Former CIA Director and retired General David Petraeus, who has commanded U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, spoke with Charlie Rose on the "CBS Evening News" about the challenges the coalition faces in the fight against ISIS.
The situation on the ground in Iraq and Syria is "worrisome," Petraeus said, calling the loss of Ramadi to ISIS "both an operational and a strategic setback, a significant one."

It must be a weak military in the us today. All interesting and critiq wievpoints only come out after retirement. This suggests to me that the leadership is afraid to speak out against obama and hid administration
Boy is he being careful with his language. Every bit of it deniable in some way or the other. Makes you wonder if he's floating a balloon for the Administration on getting more involved on the ground. After his legal problems and how all that played out, I am very leery of anything he says.
So true James. His credibility has taken a hit.
WNU Editor,
Remember Gen. Betrayus?
