Earlier NPR reported on excerpts of the speech released today:
In a prime-time speech, President Obama will say the United States plans to "take out" the Islamic State "wherever they exist." That's according to excerpts of the speech released by the White House tonight. "With a new Iraqi government in place, and following consultations with allies abroad and Congress at home, I can announce that America will lead a broad coalition to roll back this terrorist threat," Obama will say. "Our objective is clear: we will degrade, and ultimately destroy, ISIL through a comprehensive and sustained counter-terrorism strategy."
