 Intelligence officials warned that ISIS leaders had trained cells of operatives for coordinated international attacks. Nine attackers armed with automatic weapons and grenades opened fire. The despicable attack bears the hallmark of ISIS to Poverty. In this kind of security environment, we need to be dynamic and responsive. With a global coalition of over 60 nations, we're taking the fight to ISIL across the physical, virtual and ideological battle space. We've authorized a series of steps to ratchet up our fight against ISIS. An additional U.S. personnel, including special forces in Syria, additional advisors to work more closely with Iraqi security forces, additional assets, including attack helicopters, and additional support for local forces in northern Iraq. Our aircraft continued to launch from the USS Harry Truman, our B-52 bombers, our hitting ISIL with precision strikes. We're making some good progress with our partners in the north and through our air campaign. We're putting pressure on the enemy throughout the breadth and depth of the battle space, and it's beginning to take its toll. We always said it's going to take a long time, but working as a coalition to rebuild an Iraqi security force that had been totally demoralized and almost on its back to getting them back up, to getting them trained, and then to retake a city like Ramadi, one of the most difficult terrains in urban environments to fight in, I think we've made quite a bit of progress. Across our government, at every level, federal, state and local, military and civilian, this campaign at this stage is firing on all soldiers. Our message is clear. If you target America and our allies, you will not be safe. You will never be safe.
