Barack Obama actually said...

"We can continue to shrink ISIL's sphere of influence, its effectiveness, its financing, its military capabilities to the point where it is a manageable problem."

"So the bottom line is this, our objective is clear. And that is to degrade and destroy ISIL so it's no longer a threat, not just to Iraq but also the region and to the United States."

"President Obama has now authorized extra security for Baghdad's airport -- excuse me, Baghdad's embassy, some 350 U.S. troops are going to be deployed."

"We are committed to building a productive relationship between our two countries."
