Martin Dempsey: “It is in our national security interest to counter ISIL, wherever we find them.”

Funding lower than President's budget 2016 and lacking the flexibility to make the internal reforms that we believe we need to make will put us in a position where we will have to change our national security strategy.

I share alarm about the future of Iraq, and we are developing a full range of options to help stabilize the region.

Under no circumstances should we relieve pressure on Iran relative to ballistic missile capabilities and arms trafficking.

ISIL's future is increasingly dim as more nations join the anti-ISIL effort.
