Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon on Thursday, Obama said Daesh will “inevitably” be defeated, but added the situation is complex, and cannot be solved by military force alone.
He said the US will keep going after Daesh leaders. Obama said the terrorist group is on the decline in Syria and Iraq which appears to be triggering attacks elsewhere.
"As
we have seen, it is difficult to prevent small cells of terrorists
willing to kill the innocent and (who) are willing to die. We will keep
going after them aggressively across every front of this campaign," he
said.
Obama
said the US prepared to work with Russia to strengthen efforts against
ISIL, al-Qaeda in Syria, but “time for Russia to show that it is
serious.”
"The US remains
prepared to work with Russia to try to reduce the violence and
strengthen our efforts against ISIL, Al-Qaeda and Syria. But Russia has
failed to take the necessary steps. Given the deteriorating situation,
it is time for Russia to show it is serious about pursuing these
objectives," he said.
