If this Congress is serious about winning this war, and wants to send a message to our troops and the world, you should finally authorize the use of military force against ISIL. Take a vote. But the American people should know that with or without Congressional action, ISIL will learn the same lessons as terrorists before them. If you doubt America's commitment – or mine – to see that justice is done, ask Osama bin Laden. Ask the leader of al Qaeda in Yemen, who was taken out last year, or the perpetrator of the Benghazi attacks, who sits in a prison cell. When you come after Americans, we go after you. It may take time, but we have long memories, and our reach has no limit.
如果本届国会真的希望赢得这场战争,同时向我们的军队和整个世界传达反恐决心,你们就应该授权军事力量介入对抗“伊斯兰国。可以投票表决。但美国人民应当知道,无论国会是否行动,伊斯兰国也必将和以往的恐怖分子一样,得到应有的惩罚。如果你们怀疑美国或是我个人伸张正义的决心,不妨问问奥萨马•本•拉登。问问去年被击毙的也门基地组织头目,或者已成阶下囚的班加西事件主谋。如果你和美国过不去,美国绝不会放过你。这可能需要一些时间,但我们的记忆力很好,我们的打击没有时限。
Our foreign policy must be focused on the threat from ISIL and al Qaeda, but it can't stop there. For even without ISIL, instability will continue for decades in many parts of the world – in the Middle East, in Afghanistan and Pakistan, in parts of Central America, Africa and Asia. Some of these places may become safe havens for new terrorist networks; others will fall victim to ethnic conflict, or famine, feeding the next wave of refugees. The world will look to us to help solve these problems, and our answer needs to be more than tough talk or calls to carpet bomb civilians. That may work as a TV sound bite, but it doesn't pass muster on the world stage.
