This radical Islam is a religious-based ideology. And you actually have to, when you deal with the ideology, you have to attack it on that basis.

Radical Islam, it has grown into a global jihad.

The Arab Spring, nobody's in the streets demonstrating for radical Islam; they're in the streets with a window of democracy. They want our political reform, our social justice, and our economic opportunity.

ISIS is on the offense, with the ability to attack at will, anyplace, anytime.

Fighting forces, particularly ground forces, have to operate on the basis of unit cohesion.

Air power will not defeat ISIS. It has not been able to deny ISIS freedom of maneuver and the ability to attack at will.
