As we've said since the beginning, capable partners are good partners. Unlike so many of our traditional allies who wring their hands and clutch their pearls, hemming and hawing about the use of force, America, regardless of what so called international institutions say, is unleashing the most lethal and precise air power campaign in history.

No nation building quagmire, no democracy building exercise. (21:40–21:49)
