WHITE HOUSE PRESS BRIEFING

      Q Joe, the German Defense Minister used the word "genocide." Are we using the word "genocide" here?

      MR. LOCKHART: Let me check, because I think "genocide" has some legal ramifications to it. It's clearly that there is an intensified and very offensive campaign of atrocities that come across -- the reports come across daily as people leave. But let me check on the actual term.
