U.S. and coalition forces have conducted nearly 2,300 airstrikes hitting more than 4,800 targets in Iraq and Syria since August 2014, as part of the ongoing campaign to defeat the so-called Islamic State. Three service members have already perished in these ongoing operations against ISIS.

The comments, during a luncheon at the National Press Club, came just days after the White House sent Congressional leaders a draft bill that would authorize the continuation of the war against ISIS in Iraq and Syria.

That’s giving him the benefit of the doubt.

I’d say they are more complicit than ignorant.

Yes, but his twin sister hasn’t been approved by the Senate yet.

We can pretend we are not at war as long as we want.

We can pretend that Islam has ever been a religion of peace.

We can even pretend that Islam is not at war with us.

Jihadi don’t care.

just in the last 6 months, we’ve run about 400 missions a month hitting about 800 targets

if we’re not at war... we’re the absolute worse neighbor on the planet

Between him and that Harf blonde at the state department we are witnessing total "reality nullification". They probably still think the Fergusen thug had his hands up saying don't shoot when he did not.

What a dumbass, we have been at war since the early 80’s late 70's when Islam declared war on the United States and Western Civilization.

Fixed it. Remember Carter's failure of the Iranian hostages?

no, they just don’t have all of their pieces in place to finalize putting an end to the US so they rely solely on deception to keep the regime in power long enough and until it is ready to pull the trigger on the entire country.

Exactly. We are not interested in war, but war is interested in us.
