President Obama urged Iraq's leaders Friday to "solve their problems" as they face Al Qaeda-inspired militants overrunning cities and marching toward Baghdad -- but said he was reviewing possible U.S. military responses.
Obama, speaking on the South Lawn before departing for North Dakota, reiterated that the U.S. would "not be sending U.S. troops back into combat."
He said the unrest in Iraq, though, poses a "danger" to the Iraqi people and could threaten American interests.
Indicating a decision on possible U.S. intervention could still be days away, the president said he's asked his security team for options and is reviewing them.
