Reuters – Jun. 08, 2015: KRUEN, Germany: U.S. President Barack said on Monday he was confident ISIS militants would be driven out of Iraq and defeated but there would be setbacks along the way.
In a meeting with Prime Minister Haider al-Abadi at the G7 summit in Germany, Obama said the militants’ success in Ramadi would be a short-term tactical one.
Abadi urged the international community to help prevent the group from gleaning profits from oil smuggling.
