We are not going to work with the Assad regime in going after ISIL because they have no legitimacy in the Sunni communities.
In their spirit, let us resolve to move forward together and rededicate ourselves to the ideals that define our Union.
These are values that have guided our Nation since its founding.
We will continue to provide humanitarian assistance to the displaced and vulnerable in Iraq and Syria.
