Obama On ISIS: “What I’m Not Interested In Is Pursuing Some Notion Of ‘American Leadership’ Or ‘America Winning’ That Has ‘No Relationship’ To What Is Actually Going To Work”


From Bloomberg:
The president grew visibly irritated with repeated questions during his news conference about whether he should act more decisively or accomplish more faster to destroy Islamic State. 
He said he is aware his approach doesn’t offer the satisfaction of a “neat headline” or an immediate solution. 
“What I’m not interested in doing is posing or pursuing some notion of ‘American leadership’ or ‘America winning”’ that has “no relationship to what is actually going to work,” he said. 
Obama also rejected building sentiment in the U.S. to turn back refugees from Syria out of fear that terrorists will be hidden among them.
