Most recently we heard from the White House that ISIL is retreating. This is from President Obamathat ISIL is retreating. it is declining and losing territory and losing funds. but just last week CIA Director John Brennan testified before the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. and he said: "Our efforts have not reduced ISILs terrorism capability and global reach." Furthermore. Brennan went on to say: "ISIL is probably exploring a variety of means for infiltrating operatives into the West. including the refugee flows. smuggling routes and the legitimate methods of travel." That is a quote from him. So we have the President on one hand saying it is contained. we are successful. ISIL is disappearing. at the same time the CIA Director he appointed is telling us the truththat we are losing. and this is serious.
