REBIRTH OF THE ISIS INSURGENCY.
-
SHEP?
-
>> Shepard: JENNIFER GRIFFIN
-
LIVE FROM THE PENTAGON.
-
EVANS IS
-
LIVE WITH US FROM ISTANBUL.
-
CAN YOU SPEAK TO WHAT JENNIFER
-
JUST SAID?
-
THE POSSIBILITY OF THOSE ISIS
-
FIGHTERS, SOME 10,000 OF THEM,
-
BEING RELEASED.
-
>> WHILE THERE ARE A HUGE NUMBER
-
OF ISIS FIGHTERS BEING HELD BY
-
THE FDS FORCES WHICH ARE THE
-
KURDISH FORCES THAT WERE ALLIED
-
WITH THE UNITED STATES AND HAD
-
BEEN FIGHTING WITH U.S. SUPPORT
-
AGAINST THE ISLAMIC STATE IN
-
SYRIA FOR THE LAST TWO YEARS.
-
THEY'VE GOT THOUSANDS OF
-
CAPTIVES IN THEIR TERRITORY.
-
WHAT'S NOT CLEAR AT THIS STAGE
-
IS HOW MANY OF THOSE ARE BEING
-
HELD IN FACILITIES THAT ARE
-
WITHIN THE AREA THAT THE TURKISH
-
ARMED FORCES WILL BE GOING INTO.
-
AND ITS MAIN TARGET HAS BEEN THE
-
KURDISH WHITE PG FORCES.
-
AND, WHAT CAN THEY TELL US IN
-
THE INVASION THAT'S HAPPENING
-
NOW, AND THE STATUS OF CIVILIANS
-
IN THAT AREA.
-
>> THIS IS DEVELOPING AS WE
-
SPEAK.
-
ABOUT SIX HOURS AGO, WHEN THERE
-
WERE SOUNDS OF EXPLOSIONS, AND
-
SINCE THEN WE HAVE LEARNED ABOUT
-
STRIKES IN SEVERAL OTHER TOWNS,
-
ONE OF THEM ABOUT 20 MILES
-
INSIDE OF SYRIA AND TO OTHERS IN
-
THE EXTREMES.
-
THE ARTILLERY STRIKES AND THE
-
AIR STRIKES ARE HAPPENING
-
AGAINST SEVERAL TARGETS, FOR
-
MANY YEARS NOW, THE
-
UNITED STATES HAS HELD UP THESE
-
KURDISH FIGHTERS, AND THESE ARE
-
THE BEST PARTNERS ON THE GROUND.
-
IT WAS THOSE KURDISH FIGHTERS,
-
AND THAT IS THE LEADER'S
-
REACTION TO BEING ABANDONED BY
-
THE UNITED STATES.
-
>> THERE'S A LOT OF ANGER, THEY
-
DESCRIBED THIS AS BETRAYAL AND
-
DESCRIBE BUSINESS AS A STAB IN
-
THE BACK.
-
AND THIS TURKISH OFFENSIVE WHICH
-
IS TAKING PLACE TODAY HAS COME
-
DESPITE LONG WARNINGS FROM
-
TURKEY.
-
IN EFFECT IT HAS COME VERY, VERY
-
QUICKLY SO IT'S VERY DRAMATIC
-
AND IT'S FAST-PACED.
-
FOR THE KURDISH FIGHTERS WHO AS
-
YOU SAID TO HAVE BEEN FIGHTING
-
WITH THE UNITED STATES FOR YEARS
-
AND YEARS, IT'S A MOMENT OF DEEP
-
DISAPPOINTMENT AND BETRAYAL.
-
>> I HAVE JUST SECONDS LEFT BUT
-
FROM YOUR EXTENSIVE KNOWLEDGE OF
-
THE REGION WORKING AND LIVING IN
-
REPORTING IN THAT REGION FOR SO
-
MANY YEARS, HOW WOULD THE
-
RUSSIAN PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN
-
VIEW THE CURRENT EVENTS?
-
>> WELL, ON ONE LEVEL, RUSSIA
-
HAS SAID IT WASN'T INFORMED
-
ABOUT THIS.
-
IT WAS NOT APPROVING IT IN ANY
-
WAY.
-
ON ONE LEVEL THERE IS POTENTIAL
-
FOR THE RUSSIANS TO GAIN FROM
-
THIS.
-
IF IT LEADS TO CHAOS ELSEWHERE
-
IN EASTERN SYRIA WHICH IS UNDER
-
THE CURRENT CONTROL COME FDS
-
CONTROL THAT WOULD GIVE THE
-
OPPORTUNITY FOR THE DAMASCUS
-
GOVERNMENT BACKED BY RUSSIA TO
-
MOVE INTO SOME OF THE TERRITORY
-
THAT THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO
-
CONTROL FOR A VERY LONG TIME IN
-
THIS LONG EIGHT YEAR WAR.
