Obama Reiterates: "American Combat Troops Will Not Be Returning To Fight In Iraq" (RealClearPolitics)

PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA:  American combat troops will not be returning to fight in Iraq. I will not allow the United States to be dragged back into another ground war in Iraq. Because ultimately it is up to the Iraqis to bridge their differences and secure themselves. The limited strikes we're conducting have been necessary to protect our people and have helped Iraqi forces begin to push back these terrorists.
