"He has various options. I'm not the Commander in Chief - he is - but he should not be taking anything off the table.
And by doing what he's done in the last day, over and over again, saying he's not gonna do this, he's not gonna do that, and "we're not gonna get dragged into a war", he's sending a false signal, he's encouraging the enemy, he's dispiriting our allies, and he's just putting off the inevitable." - Republican Peter King
Wolf Blizter's response? "It's an awful situation what's goin on in Iraq right now...No simple solutions, to be sure. Congressman, thanks very much for joining us..."
