This afternoon, Jay Carney took a moment to reassure that despite all appearances to the contrary, President Obama is confronting the Iraq crisis head-on:
On Iraq, @PressSec says of efforts by National Security team to draft options for US action: "that work is ongoing."

Ongoing work by Top. Men.
Meantime, according to Carney, Obama has some advice for the troubled Iraqi government:
Carney says Pres Obama believes no military solution will solve Iraq's problem. Urges Iraq Govt to govern in non-sectarian manner.

@markknoller Yeah, what could possibly be wrong with that frame of reference? Maybe the fact that #ISIS is engaged in a military campaign?
