President Obama spoke briefly at 10 a.m. at the White House to address the airstrikes in Syria. These were Obama’s first public comments on airstrikes against the Islamic State positions in Syria. In his speech, which lasted under 10 minutes, Obama noted that in light of the most recent attacks, this is no longer just America’s problem, but something the world needs to concern itself with. Obama is now headed to New York to meet with the United Nations for three days to discuss various issues including the ISIS crisis.
