John Kerry actually said...

"I am very encouraged that various tribal figures in Anbar and Hawija... have come forward to offer to mobilize Sunni Arab fighters against the Islamic State."

"The President rightly understands that it is vital to undercut extremist recruiting among the disaffected Sunni Arab population."

"The President absolutely, clearly, by almost any legal standard that I can imagine is not violating the Constitution."

"The President will not put American ground troops into Iraq, and the President made it clear again today."
