Barack Obama actually said...

These American forces will not have a combat mission--we will not get dragged into another ground war in Iraq.

The Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) poses a clear threat to the people of Iraq and Syria.

Our own safety, our own security, depends upon our willingness to do what it takes to defend this Nation.

It will be the responsibility of Iraqis to secure their own country and take the fight to ISIL on the ground in their own country.
