“We are looking at striking Syria.”
“We will increase sanctions.”
“Osama bin Laden is dead and Al Qaeda’s on the run.”
“I wake up every morning thinking about protecting America.”
“We are sending John Kerry to form a coalition.”
“I’m consulting with my national security team.”
“Israel must return to the 1967 borders.”
“We need to nip ISIL in the bud.”
“We need a political solution.”
“We need a diplomatic solution.”
“Removing Qaddafi was the right thing to do.”
“I promised we’d get out of Iraq, and we are out.”
“We will leave Afghanistan responsibly.”

“I ended the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.”
“Releasing these Taliban leaders poses no threat to the U.S.”
“I draw a red line in Syria.”
“Islam is a religion of peace.”
“I’ll have more flexibility after I’m re-elected.”
“It’s the Iraqi’s problem.”
“It’s Bush’s fault. It’s Cheney’s fault.”
“It’s Mubarak’s fault/it’s Putin’s fault/it’s Maliki’s fault.”
“There is no military solution.”
“Rooting out ISIL won’t be easy, and it won’t be quick.”

“We’re leaving behind a sovereign, stable, and self-reliant Iraq.”
“It’s not enough to honor (Vets) with words. Words are cheap.”
“It’s the Republicans’ fault. It’s the media’s fault.”
