The transcript of President Obama's speech is here. A few snippets:
*"We will target al Qaeda wherever they take root; we will not yield in our pursuit"
*"...our core mission: to disrupt, dismantle, and defeat al Qaeda and other extremist networks around the world."
*"...success against al Qaeda must go beyond destroying their network -- it must be about the future that we want to build as well."
*"I can promise you this. I pledge to do everything in my power as President to keep America safe. And I pledge to give all of you the tools and support you need to get the job done, around the world and here at home."
