Obama calls the attacks in Paris a “terrible and sickening setback” to the campaign against the radical Islamic State group.

“We’ve seen other outrageous attacks by ISIL in Beirut, last month in Ankara and routinely in Iraq,” he tells his audience at the G20 conference in Turkey, using one of the acronyms for the Islamic State.

Still, he vows to carry on until IS is defeated, adding, “We have the right strategy and we’re gonna see it through.”
