Carter says more U.S. troops won’t fix Iraq and Syria
Defense Secretary Ash Carter argues that sending thousands of additional troops into Iraq or Syria would push allies away, risk boosting anti-U.S. resistance, and forfeit U.S. advantages in special operations, mobility, air power, and intelligence. He favors empowering local forces while accelerating the campaign. He notes past missteps, discusses intelligence gains, and references James Mattis as his successor.
