Think of it as an overseas contingency cancer retardation operation.

[mojito]

“Retardation” is clearly the operative word.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

...many different things that one doesn't think of normally in context of war....

Have they figured out the Kum-Bah-Yah strategy does not work?

[WayneS]

Yeah, okay, John, we were never at war with North Vietnam either...

[Billthedrill]

Sure we are, John-John. It’s seared - SEARED - into my memory.

[ScottinVA]

Think of it as an overseas contingency cancer retardation operation.

Or... A flexible, intermittent policing action based on emerging and/or lessening conditions of asymmetrical conflict/non-conflict.

[Rummyfan]

We’re not at war with them and they’re not Islamic. Clear?

[SkyDancer]

Wants them first to create an atrocity here first .....

[dforest]

Why do we even bother with a jackasses like people in this administration?

If we want to continue to survive, the O admin needs to be removed and replaced with pro America people.

[Wasichu]

Why does the administration INSIST on using “ISIL” when everyone else world-wide says “ISIS”??

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Frenchie is all nuanced, all the time.

[Slyfox]

What we are doing is engaging in a very significant counter-terrorism operation

Let's see, ISIS or ISIL, if you prefer, is really friends with Obama, but his position as president of the United States requires him to pretend like our sworn enemies are our sworn enemies.

Donchafeelsorryforbarry?

Poor guy. He can't really express his true feelings. He has to do a bunch of sidestepping.

The truth is that the crap is on his shoes and he can't wipe it off without making his friends mad.

[BenLurkin]

Heaven help us.

[ScottinVA]

Kerry was for the war against ISIS... before he was against it.

[VerySadAmerican]

We’re not at war. Being “at war” means you’re willing to do whatever it takes to win. We haven’t done that since I’ve been alive.

[Uncle Miltie]

We’re “In Love” with ISIS?

We’re “Mildly Piqued” at ISIS?

We’re “Inappropriately Interested” in ISIS?

W..... T.... F.....?

[Sir Napsalot]

"And my Ghenghis Khan 'Nam comrades are still worse than the IS headchoppers."

[FreeAtlanta]

Didn’t Zell Miller ask Kerry, “then what are you going to use? Spit balls?”

[Mopp4]

If somebody wants to think about it as being a war with ISIL, they can do so, but the fact is it's a major counterterrorism operation that will have many different moving parts."

Oh....I get it.....it's a Police Action.

[FreeAtlanta]

Didn’t Zell Miller ask Kerry, “then what are you going to use? Spit balls?”

[Bringbackthedraft]

OK, let me get this right? Dec. 7th and 11th 1941, war was declared against us. We responded with strength. 2014 war is declared against the USA by ISIS, and the antagonists dared us to fight them? Geeeez, Kerry, was your mission in Cambodia due to the fact that you took a wrong turn? What the hell are you thinking? (BTW, I heard Kerry was a decorated war hero who served in Vietnam on a boat.) ISIS wants a fight? Go kick their asses back to hell from where they came. But first, NO ROEs that screw up our operations. If the Politicians want to fight this war with PC, put them to work in 11 Bravo slots. :-)
