Weve seen in other areas they dug in, they booby trapped, they fought straight by straight. You might say a relatively quick victory. No one can predict whether this is going to be a long battle, a short one, how difficult it will be. Townsend arrived in baghdad at a time when isis is losing ground. Well, i think hes inheriting a better situation than general mcfarland did because we have taken, you know, back fallujah. Were getting ready to move toward mosul. He iraqi army is getting better. Isis has been weakened. We killed 45,000 of them. But during mcfarlands final days in command, he warned defeating isis and iraq will require more than just a military victory. Military success in iraq and syria will not necessarily mean the end of daish. We can expect the enemy to adapt into a terrorist organization. Townsends biggest challenge may be political.
