fully engaged
Those must be the new weasel words for “closely monitoring.”
The press stopped using them when people started noticing he was wearing spiked shoes while engaged in “monitoring.”
The “fully engaged” talking point must have gone out to the MSM from Chicago last night. I heard the term several times on the Sunday morning talk shows.
They also showed a small demonstration by anti-war protesters on the local news last night in reaction to the strikes on Libya. Thus the media can give themselves cover by saying they covered the opposition to Obama’s war. The big difference is, there was NO mention of Obama!
