The Daily Beast cites the Atlantic Council for hosting an event with General Lloyd Austin:
“If it rolls through the Sunni population and generates a bunch of local support, those numbers can quickly swell,” Austin told a packed room at the Atlantic Council in Washington Thursday.
Austin also characterized the anti-ISIS campaign currently being led by the United States as more focused on Iraq than Syria, even though there have been more airstrikes in Syria lately—and even though the extremist group operates on both sides of the border.
