On Wednesday, September 10th, 2014 President Obama Delivered a speech focusing on the safety of the United States in regards to the terrorist group ISIL, also known as ISIS. President Obama discussed the four step process to “ultimately destroy the terrorist group known as ISIL” consisting of,  airstrikes against these terrorists which includes working with the Iraqi government, help the forces that are fighting on the ground against these terrorists, working with our countries partners to strengthen our efforts to demolish ISIL and provide humanitarian assistance so innocent people can continue living in their homeland. Due to these great efforts, joined with our allies and intelligence billions of dollars will help and serve for humanitarian aid. President Obama showed great strength as our countries leader and produced a plan for ISIL to be destroyed. 

Presidents Obama’s speech has prove that the United States will not stand down to this terrorist group. Due to the fact, the speech was on the eve of 9/11, it was important that his address was strong and united so another tragedy as awful does not occur. President Obama walked to his podium gracefully but began his message quite promptly. Throughout the speech, President Obama spoke with much determination in his voice despite the fearful threats that we’re being faced with. The Presidents relax body language and stern hand gestures showed him connecting with his people while seeming personable which is why his message was effective. President Obama talking about the past efforts, Osama bin Laden and much of al Qaeda’s leadership in Afghanistan and Pakistan being dismissed in order to keep out safety, makes it seem like an easier process. Towards the end of the speech President Obama provided positive information about how strong our country is to remind us we are united. President Obama’s way of delivering this speech was respectful, determined and provided information to understand our efforts of destroying ISIL. 

The media truth that stood out the most was Media Truth number 1, the media are essential components of our lives. If it was not for the media none of this would be known therefore no help would be giving. Media is the reason that something can be done, and sharing this story with the audience not only helps our country but has the opportunity for other countries to stand by our side and help with the efforts to destroy ISIL.
