Obama defends the efficacy of possible airstrikes against Syria, saying “The US military doesn’t do pin pricks.

Even a limited strike will send a message to Assad that no other nation can deliver.”

At the same time the president vows not to put American boots on the ground in Syria.”I will not pursue an open-ended action like Iraq or Afghanistan,” he says, nor a prolonged air war like Libya or Kosovo.
