Carter: U.S. trains only 60 Syrian rebels (CNN, July 7, 2015)
http://cnn.it/1KMxfjD

"The United States has only trained approximately 60 Syrian rebel fighters as of July 3, Defense Secretary Ashton Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee on Tuesday, saying the number is "much smaller" than the administration hoped to train at this point. "I said the number 60, and I can look out at your faces and you have the same reaction I do, which is that that's an awfully small number," he said. Carter's admission highlights the increasing concern over the effectiveness of a program to train a local fighting force to combat ISIS in Syria. The low numbers are blamed on a strict vetting process that includes ensuring the fighters are committed to combat ISIS, as opposed to the Assad regime, and passing a counter-intelligence screening...."




Obama on ISIS: 'This is a long-term campaign' (CNN, July 7, 2015)

"President Barack Obama offered an update on the military mission against ISIS on Monday, emphasizing the long-term nature of the effort and the importance of local forces and stable governments as keys to stopping the terror group's rise. Obama pointed to the more than 5,000 air strikes against ISIS in Iraq, Syria and new regions like North Africa, and the efforts of a "galvanized" Iraqi government in the wake of the fall of Ramadi, as signs of stepped-up efforts against the terrorist group. "This will not be quick. This is a long-term campaign. (ISIS) is opportunistic and it is nimble," Obama said, delivering remarks from the Pentagon.

Obama said the coalition is going after the "heart" of ISIS when it comes to both monetary and human resources. And he took the opportunity to prod Congress to confirm Adam Szubin as Treasury Department under secretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, to aid the effort to stop money flowing to ISIS.  Though the President said U.S.-trained troops have made progress at rolling back ISIS gains across Iraq and Syria in recent months, he added there are no plans to send more U.S. troops to the region. Obama emphasized that regional security forces will have to play a leading role in the anti-ISIS effort.
