This is a video of Malcolm Nance discussing his book 'Defeating ISIS'.
"U.S. Strategy Against ISIS: Malcolm Nance talks about his book, Defeating ISIS: Who They Are, How they Fight, What They Believe, which examines the Islamic State’s (ISIS/ISIL) evolution and tactics, as well as possible strategies to defeat the militant group."
"Malcolm W. Nance was a career counterterrorism and intelligence officer for the U.S. government’s Special Operations, Homeland Security, and Intelligence agencies, with over 33 years of experience in combatting radical extremism. An honorably retired U.S. Navy Arabic-speaking intelligence collections operator, field interrogator, Survival, Evasion, Resistance, and Escape specialist and founder of the Advanced Terrorism, Abduction and Hostage Survival School, he spent more than two decades on clandestine antiterrorism and counterterrorism intelligence operations in the Middle East North Africa, the Balkans, South Asia, and sub-Saharan Africa in direct support of the Special Operations and Intelligence Community. On the morning of 9/11, he eyewitnessed the attack on the Pentagon and became a first responder at the crash site.
A fierce champion of ethics, human rights and cultural integration in intelligence practitioners and activities, he has trained and advised numerous defense, intelligence, and law enforcement agencies worldwide in understanding and exploiting terrorist strategies, tactics, and ideology to combat the spread of radical extremism."

How to fight ISIS?
Not a chance, as long as Obama is in the White House. He’s on their side.
Heard him on Coast to Coast last night. Very impressive analysis of the muckhole the Middle East is and the good and bad results of our actions and inactions there.
I heard him last night too, that’s what inspired me to hunt this interview down.
He got my complete attention last night as late as it was. Nance comes across as someone who really knows this subject cold.
He’s an Obama apologist several times in this interview. Loves the Iran deal, opposes waterboarding, wants to close Gitmo. Despite this his background on ISIS is worth listening to.
Shhhhh. Don’t tell ISIS.
I’ve seen him......very impressive. Wonder if Trump has thought of meeting with him?
Good question. Nance is critical of Trump wanting to limit Muslim access to the US. Nance makes a few other comments that make me think he is an Obama fan.
Well as far as I’m concerned Nance just s#$@ in his mess kit. I’m all for no Muslim coming to this country UNTIL we have a better vetting system in place. PC is going to kill us all......and another thing, any able-bodied young man in this refugee mess shouldn’t be included in asylum-seeking and sent back home to fight! I’m Trump on steroids I guess.....(putting soap box up now).....
Yes, I heard that, too, but he was very good about the history of the mess there.
“but he was very good about the history of the mess there.”
I agree, I was very impressed with his history of ISIS and Syria and the whole convoluted mess.
We just need to be aware that he is prone to inserting Obama talking points when he gets outside of that and starts talking future policy.
