Bush, revealed that he was deeply concerned by the narrow focus on defeating ISIS which failed to take into account that other oppressive regimes, like Iran, could and would exploit the void to take power for themselves.<\/p>\n<p>He <a href=\"https:\/\/www.huffingtonpost.com\/entry\/david-shedd-iran-is-filling-the-void-in-syria-and_us_59f796d2e4b0e4c2eab1c30f\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">said<\/a>: \u201cThe president has done the right thing by delegating additional authorities to the generals in terms of taking military actions against ISIS. I\u2019m concerned, however, that notwithstanding the battlefield successes that Bashar al-Assad seems to be getting stronger or at a minimum, and he\u2019s ensuring his consolidation of power with Russian and Iranian support&#8230; I\u2019m also concerned about the outlook six months from now in Iraq in terms of the Iranian presence, as the Shiite victories are solidified in Iraq against ISIS as well.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He expressed concern that the Iranian Regime was exhibiting more power in both Syria, where they are propping up the Assad dictatorship and massacring the Syrian people, and Iraq, where they \u2018helped\u2019 the Iraqi government to wage war against the Kurds following the independence referendum.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cSo this is a tricky one, in that the administration has loosened the rules of engagement against ISIS, which I believe is a good thing, but it\u2019s failed yet to develop a strategic policy that fills the void, and now that void appears to be getting filled by Iranians and Russians and by extension the Syrian regime. In the case of Iraq, I\u2019m very concerned about the Iranian militancy growing in strength and influence in terms of the territory, leaving aside the issue of the Kurds\u2019 drive for autonomy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Shedd, who also served as Deputy Director of National Intelligence for Policy, Plans, and Requirements, would very much welcome a policy that looked at the wider implications in the Middle East to prevent the Iranian Regime being able to consolidate power and take over the region.<\/p>\n<p>He said: \u201cI don\u2019t want to minimize that success when it comes to their approach to taking on ISIS, which has been to delegate authorities for many of those decisions to commanders in the battlefield associated with making those decisions. But that doesn\u2019t obviate the need for a comprehensive strategy in areas where Iran and its allies have been gaining strength.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NCRI Staff
