Barack Obama actually said...

"the United States' unequivocal commitment to the defense of Japan and to maintaining peace and security in Northeast Asia."

"I will only send our troops into harm's way when it is absolutely necessary."

"I ask all Americans, wherever you are, whoever you're with, whatever you're doing, to pause in national unity at 3 o'clock this afternoon."

"The United States will never waiver from our determination to protect our people and the peace and security of the world."
