CBS: Petraeus: U.S. needs to reevaluate ISIS strategy
NEW YORK -- The U.S.-led coalition is keeping up air attacks on ISIS targets in Iraq and Syria. Yet, the Islamic terror group still controls important territory and cities, including Palmyra in Syria and both Mosul and Ramadi in Iraq.
Former CIA Director and retired General David Petraeus, who has commanded U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan, spoke with Charlie Rose on the "CBS Evening News" about the challenges the coalition faces in the fight against ISIS.
The situation on the ground in Iraq and Syria is "worrisome," Petraeus said, calling the loss of Ramadi to ISIS "both an operational and a strategic setback, a significant one."
