President Barack Obama will consider airstrikes in Syria if needed in the battle against the Islamic State terrorists who beheaded an American journalist.
“Any strategy to deal with the ISIL organization has to deal with both sides of the border in Iraq and Syria,” Obama’s deputy national security adviser, Ben Rhodes, told reporters today. While Obama hasn’t approved such a strike yet, “we’re not going to be restricted by borders,” he said.
