I think that, given the threat that ISIS poses to the region and beyond, as we have sadly seen in our own country, it is important to keep the Iraqi army on a path where they can actually take back territory, to work with the Sunni tribes in Anbar province and elsewhere so that their fighters can be also deployed, to work with the Kurds to provide them the support, but they're doing the fighting. We're doing the support and enabling.

We have a very robust set of plans. And people have looked at both of our plans, have concluded that mine would create 10 million jobs and yours [Donald Trump] would lose us 3.5 million jobs, and explode the debt which would have a recession.

I'm really lucky to have the kind of people I've got around me. I've got such a great group of predominantly young people, but so diverse, and they bring different perspectives to the table. They will tell me exactly what's on their mind.

I would say to the new leadership the American people are ready to meet you if you move forward toward the path of democracy.

It is very clear that the people in Afghanistan do not want the Taliban back.

We know now that Donald Trump's comments are actually being used to recruit and radicalize on the Internet.

I think Americans have every reason to be worried about ISIS and the network of terrorist groups, because they have proven to be sophisticated and effective in wreaking violence and murder in many parts of the world, including in San Bernardino with their somehow connected radicalization of that couple there.
