eliminate isis from its territory in that time frame? colonel steven warren is the spokesman for the anti-sisco -- anti-isis coalition in iraq. i want to talk about what the prime minister said about isis. he went on television saying 2016 will be the year of the big and final victory when isis's presence in iraq will be terminated. we are coming to liberate mosul and it will be the fatal and final blow to isis. is that the kind of momentum you're seeing for 2016. >> thanks for having me, christine. good to be here. i think we have started to see momentum build. this action in ramadi over the last couple days have been a great sign. that's a tall order. we certainly hope that the iraqis are able to eliminate isil here out of iraq once and for all by the end of 2016.
