John Kerry actually said...

"ISIS is a brutal terrorist organization. It must be stopped."

"I am totally unaware and would not condone anybody that I know of within the state department making such statements."

"As I have said before, these American forces will not have a combat mission. We will not get dragged into another ground war in Iraq."

"That would be a red line for the United States in terms of having combat troops on the ground in Iraq and potentially Syria."
