"the only way we are going to end this war and the only way we are going to keep our homeland safe and return peace to the civilized world, is if we defeat Islamic terrorists--if we defeat ISIS."

"But, the fear--I think we have reached the point, today, where what has happened on the ground in Iraq and Syria does not so much affect the international appeal of ISIS."

"It doesn't seem to be an actual cessation of hostilities."

"Safety is the primary consideration. We never want there to be a situation where you just say, 'Let us speed everything up.'"
