. >> i believe any head injury is it serious-- >> despite the death of baghdadi in october, isis remainsa threat in syria and most assassinating and intimidating local leaders and extending influence in rural areas throughout syria and iraq and similar to afghanistan, most of the intelligence community feels that without pressure, isis could reestablish. the president seems to have a different view. he takes 100% the defeat of isis and used that as justification to withdraw troops from syria back in october of 2019. so my question to you as a commander, because there's inconsistent here on what we're hearing from the president and you. how do you navigate between the department of defense and the ic's assessment of the isis threat? >> based upon what i've been given by secretary of defense, what we call the eastern security area where we're carrying on operations against isis with our sdf partners. those are effective and i think as long as we maintain pressure on them, we'll be at a place where it's difficult for them to generate and deliver external attack plotting. external attack plo

they were trying to capture baghdadi before the u.s. managed to locate him and assassinate him. so i don't think that turkey is interested in launching such a conflict. i think that therefore hgs is there to stay. but with engagement and with pressure and right now turkey has immense leverage basically if it was -- if the area collapses and we should expect large scale massacres, with this immense leverage turkey has the ability to -- to not dictate but significantly instruct hgs or significantly influence what hgs cl -- chooses to do. there is rumors about hgs absolving itself and these have not panned out repeatedly. the group leadership is determined to hold on to idlib. they see it as the governance of the territory as -- as their project now. they've abandoned the hope of regime change and liberating damascus so for them it is important to cling on to this territory. i think that they are -- hgs is much more willing than previously engage with westerners, with outsiders. just this past week their director for media insisted on having his name mentioned in an article when i
