Defeat-ISIS 'Annihilation' Campaign Accelerating, Mattis Says
By Jim Garamone
WASHINGTON, May 28, 2017 — Nothing keeps Defense Secretary Jim Mattis awake at night. "I keep other people awake," he told CBS reporter John Dickerson.
The secretary sat down today for his first television interview with Face the Nation. He spoke about the threats facing the United States and the department’s response to those threats.
Mattis said the defeat-ISIS coalition must "annihilate" the terror group, and that the strategy to do so is working. "Our strategy right now is to accelerate the campaign against ISIS," the secretary said. "It is a threat to all civilized nations. And the bottom line is we are going to move in an accelerated and reinforced manner, throw them on their back foot."
