Barack Obama actually said...

In the years to come, not every collection of thugs that labels themselves Al Qaeda will pose a credible threat to the United States.

Unless we discipline our thinking, our definitions, our actions, we may be drawn into more wars we don't need to fight.

The Afghan war is coming to an end. Core al-Qaeda is a shell of its former self.

These men and women and their families are the best that our country has to offer.
