As president, I decided that a strong, confident America could advance our national security by engaging directly with the Iranian government. We've seen the results.

This counter-terrorism campaign will be waged through a steady, relentless effort to take out Isil wherever they exist, using our air power and our support for partner forces on the ground. This strategy of taking out terrorists who threaten us, while supporting partners on the front lines, is one that we have successfully pursued in Yemen and Somalia for years.

I think that most Americans don't resent people for getting rich. They want to get rich themselves.

The terrorists do not speak for over a billion Muslims who reject their hateful ideology.
