Obama says need to 'snuff out' militant groups like Islamic State
None
President Barack Obama said on Friday the goal of an international coalition he is helping to form is to "ultimately snuff out" the type of extremism demonstrated by Islamic State in Iraq and Syria.
It is a "sobering time," said Obama at a Democratic fund-raising event in Baltimore following his decision to authorize US air strikes against Islamic State targets in Syria for the first time, and to add to targeted areas in Iraq.
