President Obama on Thursday downplayed the prospect of any imminent U.S. airstrikes in Syria as he stressed that military advisers are still reviewing options for confronting Islamic State militants in the region.
At the same time, the president bluntly ruled out U.S. military action for dealing with another international crisis -- mounting evidence of Russian incursions into eastern Ukraine. "We are not taking military action to solve the Ukrainian problem," Obama said.
