00:00.896 --> 00:04.563
(upbeat instrumental music)

00:07.482 --> 00:09.177
^- On Thursday, President Barak Obama

00:09.177 --> 00:11.638
^gave an update on the Counter-ISIL Campaign

00:11.638 --> 00:12.890
from the Pentagon.

00:12.890 --> 00:14.598
President Obama spoke about the progress

00:14.598 --> 00:16.492
of the campaign and the different steps

00:16.492 --> 00:19.292
the coalition is taking to defeat ISIL.

00:19.292 --> 00:21.629
- Nothing will do more to discredit ISIL

00:21.629 --> 00:24.687
and its phony claims to being a caliphate

00:24.687 --> 00:28.854
than when it loses its bases in Rakka and in Mosel.

00:29.547 --> 00:30.729
And we're going to keep working with partners

00:30.729 --> 00:32.848
including Muslim countries and communities,

00:32.848 --> 00:36.775
especially online, to expose ISEL for what they are,

00:36.775 --> 00:38.626
murderers who kill innocent people,

00:38.626 --> 00:40.056
and that's why, as we discussed today,

00:40.056 --> 00:42.306
we're going to keep going after ISEL aggressively

00:42.306 --> 00:45.306
across every front of this campaign.

00:45.903 --> 00:47.821
