“the President is fully in control of his agenda. He will not be forced into engaging in hostilities with ISIS.”

In everyday language, pres - - ent golfer in chief doesn't give a Shiite.

“ISIS may think they are at war with us, but that doesn’t mean we are at war with them,”

and there it is...

Clinton wasn’t at war with Bin Laden when they declared war on us before 9-11 either.

Thanks again for the ping.

Why, Mr. Semmens, have you stepped up the brutality of your satire?

Excellent, though, as usual.
