Secretary of State John Kerry addressed the press in Baghdad, Iraq today before rushing off to a meeting in Amman, Jordan for “bilateral meetings with counterparts to discuss regional issues and the current situation in Iraq.” Kerry said that tonight, President Obama “will lay out with great specificity each component of a broad strategy in order to deal with ISIL.” 

Kerry did not go into detail, leaving that for the president, but in response to a question from an Al Iraqiya TV journalist, seemed to allow for the possibility, however unlikely, of American boots on the ground if “something very, very dramatic changed.”
