President Obama
War on terror
Involvment
- Obama said the United States and its allies would continue disrupting plots, targeting terrorist infrastructure and finances,
- providing training and equipment to Iraqi and Syrian fighters.
- He said he would also pursue a cease-fire agreement in Syria, which would allow for a “common goal” between the United States and Russia to pursue ISIS.
- Obama also made a pitch for gun control, saying it “should be more difficult” to buy high-powered assault-style rifles —
- like those used in last week’s attack — and that people on no-fly lists shouldn’t be allowed to buy guns.

Obama said “Let’s not forget that freedom is more powerful than fear, that we have always met challenges — whether war or depression, natural disasters or terrorist attacks — by coming together around our common ideals as one nation, as one people,” he said. “So long as we stay true to that tradition, I have no doubt America will prevail.”
