U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry on Thursday would not say the United States is at war with ISIS, telling CNN in an interview that the administration's strategy includes "many different things that one doesn't think of normally in context of war."
"What we are doing is engaging in a very significant counter-terrorism operation," Kerry told CNN's Elise Labott in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. "It's going to go on for some period of time. 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."

We’ve always been at war with Eastasia.
How nuanced. ISIS is LOL.
lol - he can’t bring himself to admit that war is necessary. He knows how big a hypocrite he’d look. They’re dancing around the topic, use any word other than “war”...even if that’s exactly what it is.
This is just politics. They want to say they never “went to war”. Cowards.
Just gonna kill them a little bit, not too much. Can’t be at war if the prez won a peace prize.
SOP for the morons in this administration.
After a couple of weeks you won’t hear about these plans again. Obama will find some other subject to demagogue.
Funny. He was comfortable accusing Americans of chopping heads, but he goes weak in the knees with people who really are chopping off heads.
Because the “L” includes Israel - and they hate Israel.
And tell you why gophers are eating up your lawn ....
How do you win if you cannot even declare the enemy the enemy?
Yeah like the ‘kinetic action’.....
