The US has been pounding ISIL in Iraq with 500 lb. bombs and drone strikes. “What I expect ISIL to do is look for other things to do, to pick up and move elsewhere,” says Lt. Gen.

However, he told reporters at the Pentagon that ISIL is still a problem. “I in no way want to suggest that we have effectively contained or are somehow breaking the momentum of ISIL,” said Mayville.
