    Hundreds of airmen, sailors, soldiers and Marines here being told by their Commander in Chief what is expected.

    (President Obama) “The American forces that have been deployed to Iraq do not and will not have a combat mission.”

    Rather, the President reiterating U.S. airstrikes will assist Iraqis and regional fighters.

    (President Obama) “It is the world rejecting the brutality of ISIL in favor of a better future for our children and our children’s children.”
