Obama: We Are Not ‘Sitting on the Sidelines’ Defeating ISIS

PLANTE: "Right now Iran is allied with, fighting alongside Iraq to take out the Islamic State near Tikrit. And the U.S. is sitting on the sidelines. Are you comfortable with that?"
OBAMA: "I don’t think that the U.S. is sitting on the sidelines. We’ve got a lot of stuff going on in Iraq. What we’ve been very clear about is that our top priority is making sure that ISIL is rolled back. What is also true, though, is that the only way to maintain long-term stability inside of Iraq is if the Sunni minority feels invested in their country the same way that the Shia majority does."
