White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki also described the strike as a success of new "over the horizon" capabilities in late August.
"What we've seen over the past week is that our over the horizon capacity can work and has worked in going after ISIS targets and killing people who went after our troops," Psaki said at the time. "So that's where our resources and our focus is going to be on at this point in time."[/i][/b]
