And we need to maintain our foothold in the fight against terrorism and terrorist groups and respond to any degradation of Iraqi security or stability.

The war against terrorism is one we must win.

We have to bring stability to Iraq, otherwise we will be faced with a future dilemma of sending our loved ones into harms way to stop a civil war or the rise of a new tyrant born from the instability that we created.

We have to defeat ISIS. We have to make certain that we destroy them and that we push them back.

We must fight terrorism as if there's no peace process and work to achieve peace as if there's no terror.

We know that terrorism is going to happen in the future, and we need to be prepared for it.

We're never going to be able to get rid of terrorism, because there is always going to be evil in the world.

We have to remain vigilant, and we have to continue to take the fight to the terrorist.

To win the war on terror, we must know who our friends are and where our enemies are hiding. We can't continue fighting terrorism using the same foreign policy blueprints that were in place before September 11th.

The bottom line is that after we defeat the armed forces of Iraq, that we will want to and need to provide stability throughout that country.
