we saw it with the rise of isis. an amazing situation where the iraqi military met up with a bunch of isis guys and essentially got routed. following the dry out that obama had pushed through, they responded by surging troops back into iraq. people say this time the military is better, more cohesive, trained better. there is concern that if the u.s. left again, stability would melt away. do you want to talk about troop drawdown and where we are on that? guest: this is an interesting one. president trump mentioned a couple of times during the campaign, as president, why he doesn't under -- how he doesn't understand why we can't get out of there. mattistime secretary wanted a troop increase. again, it would be a surge and then we would get out. there have been reports recently, i believe cnbc news reported yesterday, the anti-gun is re-upping on plans for an afghanistan withdrawal. the reality is that the president is dictating with little influence from the pentagon in terms of military policy and getting out of somew

nada: you mentioned earlier the threat that isis posed. we heard from kurdish forces on the ground that a few isis prisoners have already escaped from prison. how likely is it that the group could come back togetherand can we trust turkey to contain them? gen. clark: well, the group still has a functional command-and-control. there is still a structure, so these are the fighters, and if they get out there, the group will be alive and well. they p psed through turkey to form isi there were rumors that president erdogan himself had some role in approving some of the early isis targets like the assault on mosul. we don't have any definitive oof -- at least i don't -- at the unclassified level. turkey's relatiship with isis has always been ambiguous. we are not quite sure what will happen if they come back alive. everybody in this region has sharp elbows for everyone onse -- turkey, iran, iraq, syria. there are multiple motives. they all have contacts, common interests, opposing interests. it is a very difficult miation process if we get into

danger of isis is so much greater, worries all of us. i asked the president what his plan was to contain isis. he didn't really have one. he said the turks and the syrians will guard the isis prisoners. i said is there any intelligence evidence that the turks and the syrians will have the same interests that the kurds or we did in guarding isis and the secretary of defense was, thank god he was honest, he said we don't have that evidence. and so i said then how can we think that this is a plan when there are syrians and turks who are not our friends who isis, if they escape, does them very little harm, how can we let this happen? they didn't have any good answer. this is appalling. the president had no plan, to real plan for containing isis other than relying on the syrians and the turks. then why did we spend a decade, billions of dollars and lost lives in trying to curtail isis if on a phone call, on a whim, the president is going to undo all of that and turn this over to the turks and the syrians. i would also say one other thing. he
