and other politicians, Kerry said Obama is "each day" gaining more certainty of the targets he would strike if the United States decided on its own to take military action.

"He has reserved the right to himself, as he should, to make a decision at any point in time if he deems it necessary strategically," Kerry said.
He's a better general than his generals, too.
Obama has said he would not provide Iraq more military support unless it forms a government more accepting of religious minorities, but Kerry stressed that Obama wouldn't hesitate to have the U.S. conduct its own military operations if necessary.

"The president has moved the assets into place and has been gaining each day the assurances he needs with respect to potential targeting," Kerry said.
