Missoulian: Obama:
US will still use drone strikes
Remarks of President Barack Obama Graduation Ceremony West Point, New York
“Let me make one final point about our efforts against terrorism. The partnership I’ve described does not eliminate the need to take direct action when necessary to protect ourselves. When we have actionable intelligence, that’s what we do – through capture operations, like the one that brought a terrorist involved in the plot to bomb our Embassies in 1998 to face justice; or drone strikes, like those we have carried out in Yemen and Somalia. But as I said last year, in taking direct action, we must uphold standards that reflect our values. That means taking strikes only when we face a continuing, imminent threat, and only where there is near certainty of no civilian casualties. For our actions should meet a simple test: we must not create more enemies than we take off the battlefield.”

US commander: Obama ended Afghan uncertainty
“Since the attacks of September 11, 2001, the United States
and Afghanistan have partnered together to respond to threats to international
peace and security and to help the Afghan people chart a secure, democratic,
and prosperous future. Since President
Obama took office in 2009, we have pursued a focused strategy, alongside our
NATO allies and partners, to strengthen the capacity of Afghanistan’s security
forces and government to take full responsibility for their country’s future
while we have struck significant blows against al-Qa’ida’s leadership and
prevented Afghanistan from being used to launch attacks against our
homeland. Today’s announcement by President
Obama continues this strategy by responsibly drawing down the U.S. military
presence to end our combat mission and giving the Afghan people the opportunity
to succeed as they stand on their own.”
