President Obama said the United States will go after terrorist organizations that kill innocent civilians.

In his run for the White House, Obama pledged to improve ties with the Muslim world, draw down U.S. troops in Iraq and close the Guantanamo Bay detention camp. The president has also pledged to address the Muslim world from a Muslim capital in the first 100 days of his administration. No location has been announced.
Obama said the United States will go after terrorist organizations that kill innocent civilians, but will do so while respecting the rule of law. The president said that difference makes America great.
