Waltz warned that the leader of ISIS, self-proclaimed caliph Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, is still alive and instructing"sleeper cells" to attack prison camps where the Kurds had previously acted as their jailers. ISIS is also known as"For all of the 'endless war' kind of crowd and voices that are whispering in the president's ear, this is how you create war," Waltz continued.
Waltz has repeatedly appeared on cable news channels to reiterate ISIS is"not defeated as a movement at all." Speaking with CNN in January after the death of four Americans in Syria, Waltz cautioned,"It is not defeated in Syria or Iraq...There is a fundamentally flawed premise that if we just leave things alone, locals can take care of it, and it won't follow us home.
