Iraq After ISIS: What to Do Now
Channel: New America
Date: 2018-05-01

In 2017, the United States dealt ISIS a devastating blow eliminating its territorial holdings in Iraq and Syria. Iraq, which will hold national elections on May 12th, emerged out of the war against ISIS strong and in an increasingly positive mood.

Yet as Iraq looks ahead to a post-ISIS future, numerous challenges lie ahead. In a new policy report, Iraq After ISIS: What to do Now, Bartle Bull and Douglas Ollivant propose the contours of a positive, forward-looking U.S.-Iraqi relationship. 

New America welcomes Bartle Bull and Douglas Ollivant to discuss their report and the future of U.S.-Iraqi ties. Bartle Bull is an author and founder of Northern Gulf Partners, an Iraq-focused merchant banking firm. Douglas Ollivant is an ASU Senior Future of War Fellow with New America and former Director for Iraq on the National Security Council under both the George W. Bush and Barack Obama administrations. He is also Senior Vice President of Mantid International, LLC, a global strategic consulting firm with offices in Washington, Beirut, and Baghdad.
