Staying Power: US forces set to remain in Syria despite ISIS elimination

The Syrian army has advanced against ISIS towards the Iraqi border, as the military pushes remaining terrorists out of the country. Earlier, it took control of the last ISIS stronghold in the country – the town of Abu-Kemal.
Despite the fact that ISIS is almost eliminated in Syria, however, American forces don’t seem to be planning to withdraw from the country that they invaded on the pretext of fighting terror.
RT’s Jacqueline Vouga explains.
Former US diplomat Jim Jatras questions the reasons behind Washington not wanting to withdraw from Syria, even after the elimination of ISIS.
