Is Libya a failed state, fragile state, state on the mend?

It does matter because the groups that are in that area, ISIS, JNIM [Jama'at Nasr al-Islam wal Muslimin], and the like--some of these have aspirations to conduct things regionally, as well as into Europe and into our Homeland.

So 5,000 people are covering five countries.

Do we have a strategy to prevent that?

If they do not go back to their countries, do you think we have a credible plan to detain them inside of Syria long term?

Is the President's statement about withdrawing from Syria--is that conditions-based withdrawal or is he just going to withdraw because he is tired of being in Syria?

The goal is two: to destroy ISIL, the total destruction of ISIS, and to combat the malign influence of Iran.

More people need to contribute money. President Trump is right. The Arabs need to pay more and other countries need to contribute more.

Do you agree with me, leaving them alone does not mean they are going to leave you alone?

I want to compliment you and President Trump for changing those rules of engagement.

If we are not, we are giving Damascus to the Iranians.

If we leave too soon, Turkey is going to go after the Kurds that helped us destroy ISIS.

Right. But when it comes to ISIS, the goal is to make sure they are ultimately destroyed.

Is Russia helping Assad?

Is Iran helping Assad?

Is there any credible opposition to Assad left in Syria?

Do you think we have a credible plan to detain these people?

What does it mean for Jordan?

What does it mean if Iran and Russia and Assad have won in Syria?

Thank you for your clarity and your honesty.

Is it still our policy that Assad must go?

Is it too strong a statement to say that with Russia and Iran's help, Assad has won the civil war in Syria?

Sustaining this weapon technology and the industrial base that produces it is of critical importance to US national security.

It would be, 'Cheesy and a sign of weakness.'

This is a steep cut in the State Department that will lead to instability, put our people at risk who are serving overseas.
