the ISIL group in a relentless, strong and smart
campaign that is in tune with the nation's values.
His speech meant to reassure a large number of
Americans who feel the president's stance on
terrorism is too weak, didn't announce an overhaul
of a terrorism fight policy that critics have branded
insufficient to take on the evolving threat of
terrorism globally.
Obama, said last week's mass shooting in San
Bernardino, California, was a terrorist attack by
a couple who had gone down the "dark path of
radicalization" and embraced a "perverted" form
of Islam.
"This was an act of terrorism designed to kill
innocent people," Obama said. "Here's what I
want you to know. The threat from terrorism is
real, but we will overcome it. We will destroy ISIL
and any other organization that tries to harm us.
Our success won't depend on tough talk, or
abandoning our values or giving into fear. That's
what groups like ISIL are hoping for. Instead,
we will prevail by being strong and smart, resilient
and relentless. And by drawing upon every aspect
of American power. We should not be drawn once
more into a long and costly ground war in Iraq or
Syria. That's what groups like ISIL want. They
know they can't defeat us on the battlefield.
ISIL fighters were part of the insurgency that we
faced in Iraq. But they also know that if we occupy
foreign lands, they can maintain insurgencies for
years, killing thousands of our troops and draining
our resources, and using our presence to draw new
recruits," Obama said.
