is that the mission denies them access? and in my follow-up is then how do you know if you are done with the oilfields? >> so that question in the way is the military question so i will send that over to the secretary specifically for that but another task we have been given is to secure continually down along the tri- part area and to secure the conoco oilfields. that is in the vicinity of the euphrates river valley and the purpose to secure those is to deny access to isis in order to prevent isis from

resurgence because we have committed to the counter isis campaign. >> as i consistent with what you want to do in the oilfields? are they denying access to prevent russian or syrian force forces. >> the short answer is yes. in that case because we do have access to resources in order for the prisons for their own troops and assist us with the isis mission. that is our mission. >> general milley president trump said yesterday he was begging and crying before he died can you elaborate quick. >> the secretary was asked the same question. i know the president had

and are given the earlier directive to retain forces. at the end of the day we will be sending troops home. but in the meantime we will reinforce and make some other moves to make sure we can accomplish that mission to secure the oilfields and deny access to isis. at the end of the day my expectation is it will be futile and they will be going home. >> first question was. >> yes. us only operation for personnel on the objective. i know what you are referring to there was a comment in the media that soldiers are troops or someone on the objective i will not comment on what may or may not have happened but
