That turned dark quickly. Instead of getting the reputation based on it as other countries have we actually have lost reputation. And so, that was one of the reasons why we decided to actually not to pull out of the Iran deal is because to my view that Iran was still in compliance and we still had the security agreement that had been reached, but in order to try to turn that around I think, the one way that I think you can do that is to keep our word that when we said we were going to lift the sanctions that we were going to be able to do that, and I thought that was the strongest way that I could say to my team in the White House and to my military, who really wanted to pull the trigger on Iran, and every country in the world wanted to pull the trigger on Iran for the same reason that I wanted them to pull the trigger and we had a president who wanted them to pull the trigger and go to war. I thought that was a good way to say to them, let's follow through with what we said we were going to do and follow through with those commitments and the easiest way to pull back on them is to say to them, look, you want to see the Iranian people suffer, I agree with you, we should make sure they suffer as long as the nuclear deal is in place but I'm not going to abandon our commitments to the people of Iran because then I would be putting my people at risk in the region and the world and I wouldn't do that, I didn't do that and so, and I said, look, if I pull back on my end we won't do that, if we try to renegotiate I don't think that that is wise for us to try to make the deal better because they don't want a better deal, they just want to make the nuclear deal work, they don't care if we continue sanctions but I would have to have a very strong reason to do that, not just some technical reasons, or technical excuses that we didn't build the nuclear power plant, we did build the nuclear power plant but we stopped because they weren't in compliance, and that was going to be hard to defend. That is not a good reason to to pull out of a deal that was good for the region. Thank you so much. Let's go to more questions. What are your thoughts on the truce in effect, there have been no new significant violations noted in Afghanistan. Thank you very much. Good afternoon, David Good afternoon, Tom. So your answer to Tom's question is what you always say about the truce and your hopes for it. How much have you seen it in action, especially here in Afghanistan? Yes, I have seen it in action. We see a lot of it, the truce is actually, it's in the tactics and operations plan for security forces. And they are doing an extraordinary job. We are losing about one thousand American lives in every eight and a half weeks, and so, we're killing a lot of people in Afghanistan. And I have seen troops in the field, as I mentioned in the remarks yesterday and I watched the ceremony today with the president, they have a tremendous courage and bravery in the field and I'll leave it at that. Thank you, sir. Thanks Mr. President. I'm not going to do a deep dive on Iran, but as you consider your options moving forward, what would you say to those Democrats who argue that these are really your own, your son, son-in-law's, Bolton's foreign policy in action? And what would you say to the American people that when you're making policy decisions, do you weigh all your options? Well, we weigh all our options, it's a great question. You have seen from the first day that I was running for president, you know, I was doing a debate in Des Moines, Iowa, and I stood up, we had a break, a break, I went to the microphone, and I said, one of the things we have to do to keep America safe is we have to stop the Islamic state of Iraq and Syria from creating a terror wave that could end up destroying Europe and threatening our own safety. And the moderator said, David, what do you mean by that, and I said we're not going to be able to do that unless I'm President of the United States. So it's always been one of my mottoes. I have always felt that it was very, very important to confront the threat from the Islamic extremists, and that's what I'm doing. I'll keep you safe. There's one other issue, that just came up because as you know, I was in the Rose Garden announcing the, announcing the Iran nuclear deal, and some reporters, as you're talking about there were people in the Trump administration, some were speaking before the deal was reached. Just one other thing, you said you were fighting terror. Iran is not your enemy. And then they used that against you, right? The other side says, he says something they can use against him, saying the Iran nuclear deal does not get rid of their nuclear weapons program, that they are developing, for example. Where are they developing their nuclear weapons, in their secret, buried underground facility? Yes. But Iran is not my enemy. So it's always been one of my mottoes and always will be. No, that's right. (laughter) Can I finish, please? Yes. Okay. And lastly, in the Rose Garden you spoke to the families of the victims of 9/11. Do you think you need to do more in that regard or should we stop asking for people to speak at every event? Well, I don't know if it's more, I think it's a good question to, to ask, and I wanted to answer it as respectfully and specifically as I could and as accurately as I could because it's just the right thing to do, as I said in the speech. I spent the better part of the day yesterday meeting and talking to the families of 9/11 victims who are members of the armed services. It's a very sensitive issue for them. And so, I was really, I want to thank them for coming and sitting in the audience, but I have one little question, if you will, just as a courtesy. The president has in the past expressed interest in bringing the remains of Osama bin Laden home. Can you speak a little bit more about what you might think of that idea, if you would? Well, you know I have to do the right thing, I think. I have to do the right thing. That's the president, that's me. Now, I don't really want to get into a political game, I just want to be honest and open and do the right thing, and that's what I did. When I was in New York, I made a promise to the people of New York and the victims of 9/11, that I was going to go after Al-Qaeda, as many people know. You probably read this a little bit but I said I was going to go after Al-Qaeda, but Al-Qaeda and Al-Qaeda is not the same as Iran, and the reason I said that is that Iran has not been doing what they have been accused of doing, it's not like Al-Qaeda. There's another one. There's another one of the terrorists. Now, I don't know if I have the president's approval, or he's had the approval of the national security staff, for that, but we're going to have to find a way to do it. I don't want to say more than I
