Barack ObamaYou bomb ISIL. You're not trying to bomb innocent people. And that requires intelligence and confidence in our military to be able to develop the kinds of targets that we need. We're already doing Special Forces, who are going to help us gather that intelligence and help advise and assist and train local forces so that they can go after ISIL in areas like Raqqah and Mosul.
Barack ObamaEach and every time, a new generation has risen up and done whatโs needed to be done. Today we are called once more โ and it is time for our generation to answer that call. For that is our unyielding faith โ that in the face of impossible odds, people who love their country can change it.
