Miklaszewski: Obama Admin ‘Looking for a Gamechanger’ in Fight Against ISIS

DÍAZ-BALART: "I want to go to Pentagon. Jim Miklaszewski is there. Jim, semantics aside, this is a shift. There are now going to be Americans closer to possibly being in harm's way than before."

MIKLASZEWSKI: "And Jose, the reason for all this is not very complicated. It's pretty simple. After more than a year of nearly 8,000 air strikes, there had been advances against ISIL but they're a long way. And senior military officials just don't see the opportunity to destroy and defeat ISIL which is, in fact, President Obama's goal in all of this. They're training and equipping Iraqi forces, training and equipping friendly Syrian forces, but even they are not in the position to overwhelm the ISIS enemy forces in both Iraq and Syria. So they're looking for a game changer and they hope that providing more support, including special operations forces working, fighting side by side with some of the allies in Iraq and Syria, primarily Kurds for the time being -- but they hope that that can be the kind of game changer. And they're looking too to instill some confidence on the part of many of the Sunnis in Iraq who are still suspicious about the U.S. commitment to that battle in Iraq. They're afraid that the U.S. will pick up stakes and leave again. And then they will be again at the mercy of the Shia leadership in Baghdad. So it's sort of complicated, but it gets down to that one point that U.S. senior military officials are telling us that the fight there is at a stalemate, and they see no chance of destroying and defeating ISIS any time soon."
