U.S. Policy in the Middle East by info@c-spanarchives.org (National Cable Satellite Corporation) Former CIA Director and General David Petraeus (Ret.) testified at a hearing on U.S. policy toward the Middle East and combating ISIS* in the region. He talked about his support for military enclaves in Syria and for greater military action against Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and ISIS. He also gave his assessment of the Russian military build-up in Syria and of the Iran nuclear agreement. At the beginning of his testimony, General Petraeus apologized for what what he called his "serious mistake" of sharing classified information with his biographer, with whom he also had an extramarital affair. * The Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS), the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL), or DAISH/DAESH in Arabic is a militant group that has called itself the Islamic State. www.c-spanvideo.org/program/328261-1
