The second part of the interview deals with McGurk’s time as the Special Presidential Envoy for the Coalition to Defeat ISIS and focuses on the campaign in Syria, including the challenges in constructing an effective long-term plan. For those interested in the anti-ISIS campaign, it is worth combining McGurk’s insights into the political challenges with this recent interview with Major General Roger Noble, a senior Australian officer intimately involved with the military component of the ISIS campaign plan in Iraq.
