Secretary of State John Kerry returned to Iraq for a second day of crisis talks. Asked in an interview with CBS News if the U.S. is willing to strike militant safe havens in Iraq and Syria, he said it would be a "complete and total act of irresponsibility for the President just to order a few strikes." Margaret Brennan reports.

Here is the full sentence from the State Department website:
It would be a complete and total act of irresponsibility for the President just to order a few strikes, but there’s no government, there’s no backup, there’s no military, there’s nothing there that provides the capacity for success.

On the TV, the full sentence was included, but anyone reading the CBS text online could easily hear this as "just a few strikes" being wrong because it is too little - and CBS makes it worse by tweeting:
