I would have liked to hear:

The force of human freedom will stop the rise of tyranny, and that the United States must eliminate the conditions that feed radicalism and the ideologies of murder.

Parts of the Middle East have been caught for generations in a cycle of tyranny and despair and radicalism.

Parts of the Middle East have been further suppressed through dictatorship.

To defeat the extremists there needs to be a transition to free nations, which requires the full participation of women, new thinking, the encouragement of democracy, economic progress, political modernization, honest representative government, the rule of law, and patience and resolve.

I mean it certainly sounds like Obama? Right? It sounds like something the left would believe?

5 silver stars to anyone who knows who really said it.
