President Barack Obama said Monday that sending troops into Syria to fight ISIS would be a "mistake," but not allowing Syrian refugees into the United States would betray American values.
Obama reaffirmed the need to accept refugees from Middle East war zones who are flooding into Europe.
"At the same time, all of our countries have to ensure our security, and as president, my first priority is the safety of the American people," he said. "Even as we accept more refugees â including Syrians â we do so only after subjecting them to rigorous screenings and security checks. We also have to remember that many of these refugees are the victims of terrorism; that's why they're fleeing."

What a fool. Looks like Trump is crazy but rightâ¦
Obama: Would be a ‘mistake’ to believe anything I say
The mistake happened in Nov 2008 and was repeated in Nov 2012. Our stupid, stupid fellow Americans had their heads in the sand and did not do everything hey could to end this assclown’s reign.
Obama is afraid of hurting his BFFs - namely the muslim extremists.
Invasion of Europe news….
We mentioned recently that it appears from some photos that the invaders of Europe are mostly fighting age young men.
The UN High Commissioner for Refugees does not tell us their ages, but does tell us that 75% are men. (Germans hide your daughters!)
Only 51% are Syrians, the rest are from all over the Middle East and Africa.
So, did the men abandon their women and children back home (in an unsafe country)?
Obama may be the most visible of the Muslim plants in our government to date along with Huma and ValJar.
Let’s fight them here. Pure insanity. Bush was right to take the war to them. This bastard invites our enemies in to (maybe) fight them here. Evil, anti-American bastard.
Even the gay ones? Then what was all the crap about them having the right to die for their country?
Just two simple words, fellow American sisters & brothers.....”IMPEACH OBAMA”!!!
I cannot stand Obama, but do Freepers think we should send troops to Syria? Even a stopped clock ...
No one ever said anything about Syria except you Odumbo?
Ho about you leave Russian allies to Russia and American allies to America?
Admit your mistakes in Iraq, clear ISIS from Anbar and reinforce the Kurds to the North. Let Putin handle Syria.
Meanwhile, the 101st deploys to Iraq.
It is, however, a BIGGER mistake to bring Syria here.
Yes, it will be a mistake, because after he lets all these refugees in we will need them to fight in our cities.
Don’t send troops to Syria. Send them to Northern Iraq and as Russia pushes ISIS south, pick them off at the border.
Not freaking rocket science.
A much bigger mistake at this point is to continue to support the wrong side. We should be doing everything we could to be SUPPORTING Bashar al-Assad, right alongside the Russians.
Assad may be a gold-plated SOB on the order of Saddam Hussein, but whoever would replace him would be infinitely worse. There are no “moderate” Muslims in this conflict.
The genie is out of the bottle, and there will be hell to pay stuffing it back in. The only way out is through to the other side.
In no way can Obama be sincere in saying that it would be a mistake to send troops into Syria now. He would not say this in 2017 if asked what a Republican POTUS should or shouldn’t do.
Wait! I thought last week these fools said they were putting special forces troops into Syria.
Most of us called these poor troops sent to slaughter as human shields for ISIS or the Syrian Rebels.
