We will never abdicate the security of the United States to a foreign country or refrain from taking action when appropriate. But we cannot ignore the reality that cooperative counterterrorism activities are a key to our national defense.

Military confrontation is not a suitable alternative in confronting terror and current security threats.

Iraq does not pose an imminent threat to the United States of any of its neighboring nations.

There's no national strategy to deal with combating terrorism and foreign fighters.

The surest way to prevent war is not to fear it.

The United States cannot live with terror.

Iraq will not allow any action on its soil that could harm the U.S. We don't want any action from our soil to target our neighbors.

The United States should not frame its policy options in terms of doing nothing or unilaterally sending in the Marines.

I'm afraid you're gonna have to see more American military involvement in order to keep ISIS from spreading even further.

As strong as the United States is, we can't deal with terrorism alone.
