Defense Secretary Ash Carter on Wednesday told Congress that the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is contained tactically, but not strategically, and he has been urging U.S. allies to ramp up their efforts.
“The reality is we’re at war. That’s how our troops feel about it because they’re taking the fight to [ISIS] every day,” Carter told the Senate Armed Services Committee.
