"Well, they're not part of the plan for this operation at this time, but I certainly will never take away military options on behalf of the president of the United States or the commander in chief, and he wisely does not do the same for himself," Leavitt said.
"I know there's many leaders in the past who like to take options off of the table without having a full understanding of how things could develop. So, again, it's not part of the current plan, but I'm not going to remove an option for the president that is on the table."
