## Transcript

Today the United States and our Armed Forces continue to lead the global coalition in our mission to destroy the terrorist group ISIL. As I outlined in my speech to the nation last weekend, our strategy is moving forward with a great sense of urgency on four fronts. Hunting them, taking out these terrorists Training and equipping Iraqi and Syrian forces to fight ISIL on the ground. Stopping ISIL's operations by disrupting the recruiting, financing and propaganda. And finally, persistent diplomacy to end the Syrian civil war so that everyone can focus on destroying ISIL. This fall, even before the revolting attacks in Paris and San Bernardino, I ordered new actions to intensify our war against ISIL.

These actions, including more firepower and special operations forces, are well underway. This continues to be a difficult fight. As I said before, ISIL is dug in, including in urban areas, and they hide behind civilians, using defenseless men, women, and children as human shields. So even as we're relentless we have to be smart, targeting ISIL surgically with precision. At the same time, our partners on the ground are rooting ISIL out town by town, neighborhood by neighborhood, block by block. That is what this campaign is doing. We are hitting ISIL harder than ever. Coalition aircraft, our fighters, bombers and drones have been increasing the pace of their strikes, nearly 9, 000 as of today.

Last month, in November we dropped more bombs on ISIL targets than any other month since this campaign started. We're also taking out ISIL leaders, commanders and killers one by one. Since this spring we've removed Abu Sayyaf, one of their top leaders, Hajji Mutazz, ISIL's second in command Judea Hussein, a top online recruiter, Mohammed Al- Wassei, who brutally murdered Americans and others, and in recent weeks finance chief Abu Salei, senior extortionist Abu Maria and weapons trafficker Abu Raman Al- Tunesi. The list goes on. We're going after ISIL from their stronghold right in downtown Raqqa to Libya, where we took out Abu Nabil, the ISIL leader there.

The point is ISIL leaders cannot hide and our next message to them is simple, you are next. Every day we destroy, as well, more of ISIL's forces. The fighting positions, bunkers, and staging areas. The heavy weapons, bombing factories, compounds, and training camps. In many places ISIL has lost it's freedom of manuever because they know if they unmask their forces we'll wipe them out. In fact since this summer ISIL has not had A single successful major offensive operation on the ground in either Syria or Iraq. In recent weeks, we've unleashed a new wave of strikes on their lifeline, the oil infrastructure, destroying hundreds of their tanker trucks, wells, and refiners and we're gonna keep on having those.

So far, ISIL has lost about 40 % of the populated areas it once controlled in Iraq, and it will lose more. Iraqi forces are now fighting their way deeper into Ramadi. They're working to encircle Fallujah, and cut of ISIL supply routes into Mosul. Again, these are urban areas where ISIL is entrenched. Our partners on the ground face a very tough fight ahead. And we're going to continue to back them up with the support that they need to untimely clear ISIL from Iraq. With all this said, we recognize that progress needs to keep coming faster. No one knows that more than countless Syrians and Iraqis living everyday under ISIL's terror.

As well as the families in San Bernardino, and Paris, and elsewhere, who are grieving the loss of their loved ones. Just as the United States is doing more in this fight, just as our allies France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, Australia, and Italy are doing more, so must others. And that's why I've asked Secretary Carter to go to the Middle East I'll depart right after this press briefing to work with our coalition partners on securing more military contributions to this fight.
