Barack Obama actually said...

"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."

"We will take action on the Syrian side of the border to degrade ISIL."

"We believe that this will have to be a sustained effort."

"On this National Day of Service and Remembrance, we take up their unfinished work and pay tribute to their lives with service and charity."
