Obama: ISIS is on the defensive in Syria, Iraq

ISIS is on the defensive after a “bad few months,” President Barack Obama claimed Wednesday during a rare trip to CIA headquarters outside Washington. He said the “depraved” nature of the organization, also known as ISIL, only brings the world together and strengthens opposition to the group. “Their barbarism only stiffens our unity and our determination to wipe this vile terrorist organization off the face of the earth,” Obama said. “Today on the ground in Syria and Iraq, ISIL is on the defensive. Our 66-member coalition, including Arab partners, is on the offensive.”
