DOD Spokesman on Islamic State War: 'I'm Not Going to Qualify' Who Is Winning or Losing: The Pentagon press secretary refused to explicitly say whether the United States-led coalition is winning or losing the fight against Islamic State militants in Iraq and Syria.
Talking to reporters in the Pentagon on October 15, Rear Adm. John Kirby, the Department of Defense spokesman, was asked to comment on Sen. John McCain’s (R-AZ) assessment last weekend that the Islamic State (IS, also known as ISIS and ISIL) is winning against the U.S.-led coalition.
That elicited a fairly long and wordy response from the Pentagon press secretary.
