"It's not necessarily the case that IS manages to regroup and make big gains."

"There should be no doubt — we will not allow ISIS to reconstitute and take advantage of the current situation in Syria."

"[T]he chaos & anarchy [following the fall of the Assad regime] will inevitably be a boon to the Islamic State."

"ISIS will try to use this period to re-establish its capabilities, to create safe havens."

"We're clear-eyed about the fact that ISIS will try to take advantage of any vacuum to reestablish its capabilities to create a safe haven."
