Brett McGurk, the former envoy of the Global Coalition to fight the Islamic State (ISIS) has said in a panel at Brookings Institution in Washington DC: “Syria's current policy is fraught with contradictions and includes a mismatch between promises and objectives on one hand and the resources we provide on the other handâ€.

The U.S. Embassy in Baghdad had become an operation and coordination room to try to establish the appropriate form to counter the terrorist groups.
