But there actually is a strategy implicit in what he’s doing. And that is you roll back Iraq, slowly, but you don’t do anything in Syria of any importance. So, what he’s doing, what the strategy actually is, unspoken, but you can interpret the movements that we’re doing on the ground in this way we’re going to try to say, for example, to re-capture Mosul…the objective over the following year [will be] to roll them back in Iraq, but leave them, essentially, unmolested in Syria because, if you want to actually accomplish that, then you have to have a major ground war.
