Many of the fights that are going on are not ones that the United States has either started or have a role in. The Shia-- Sunni split, the dictatorships that have suppressed people's aspirations, the increasing globalization without any real safety valve for people to have a better life. We saw that in Egypt. We saw a dictator overthrown, we saw Muslim Brotherhood president installed and then we saw him ousted and the army back.

We need to have strong growth, fair growth, sustained growth.

True transformation only comes from sustainable strategies.

Racial inequality is a big problem.

I think that the decision to go to war in Iraq was a mistake.

There is no doubt that the increasing numbers of women in the economy has helped fuel significant growth everywhere. And economies that are making the shift more effectively and rapidly are dramatically outperforming those that have not.

I think we can take back Mosul, and then we can move on into Syria and take back Raqqa.
