Eric Holder: ‘We’re Not at a Time of War’
Daily Beast ^ | 2-17-2015

Posted on 02/17/2015 12:11:48 PM PST by Citizen Zed

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.

But according to Attorney General Eric Holder, “we're not at a time of war.”

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.

This entire administration is living in la-la land.

No. They're stone walling so their islamofacist buddies can destroy Christianity and Judaism with little resistance

According to this administration, ISIS isn’t the enemy (they’re the JV (Jihadi Varsity) team!), the Tea Party, Conservatives, and anyone against the 0’s regime are.

let us look at the facts. The other side as stated, no, screamed, that then are at war with us. The other side has killed, no murdered, the American citizens they had in their custody. We are utilizing our Air Power and drones to attack and kill those fighters and their leadership.

What the hell does this stupid moron think constitutes a WAR??? The white house thinks that if they say any words then they are Tyre no matter what the facts. The whit house thinks that if they deny that something is happening then it is not no matter what the truth is.

What this indicates is that we have nothing but a liar in the white house and his attitude is that we are too stupid to look at truth and facts and realize that he is nothing more than a professional liar.

Sorry liar, it did not work for most of us.

Despite the title “General,” I don’t remember seeing any stars on his shoulders. He needs to STFU.

No, they are just liars. The terrorists are the New Democrat victim demographic. All they need is love, understanding and jobs.

If you do not know you are in a battle, you have already lost.

Pray for our country.

Not only is Holder not the sharpest knife in the drawer, he’s not a knife, and he’s not even in the drawer.

See, liberals what you’ve done to us with quotas?

How this oaf got a law degree is beyond me.

Oh, forgot about Dorkbama.
