(triumphant music)

00:07.184 --> 00:09.413
^- On Thursday commander of US Central Command

00:09.413 --> 00:10.964
^Army General Joseph Votel

00:10.964 --> 00:12.701
spoke at the Aspen Security Forum

00:12.701 --> 00:14.178
in Aspen Colorado.

00:14.178 --> 00:15.011
During the forum,

00:15.011 --> 00:16.201
General Votel spoke about

00:16.201 --> 00:18.800
US CentCom's counter ISIL strategy.

00:18.800 --> 00:22.906
^- We are trying to present ISIL with many dilemmas.

00:22.906 --> 00:25.207
They have to deal with a lot of things

00:25.207 --> 00:26.692
and I think when we are able to do that

00:26.692 --> 00:29.157
I think it gives us the ability to overwhelm them

00:29.157 --> 00:31.394
and it makes it more difficult for them

00:31.394 --> 00:32.928
to respond to that.

00:32.928 --> 00:35.511
They are vulnerable and so this

00:35.797 --> 00:37.530
what you just talked about this exploitation,

00:37.530 --> 00:39.786
this treasure trove of material

00:39.786 --> 00:41.158
will make them more vulnerable

00:41.158 --> 00:43.186
and we will exploit that.

00:43.186 --> 00:44.664
- General Votel also spoke about

00:44.664 --> 00:46.861
the progress of the Iraqi military leadership

00:46.861 --> 00:48.867
and their operations against ISIL.

00:48.867 --> 00:50.729
