why is it not an act of war?

the mercenaries were soldiers and prosecuting the war

[certrtwngnut]

This administration is like a bad episode of the Twilight Zone. Not even Rod Serling could make this up.

[ThomasMore]

This administration has had too many years in office. They have forever killed what was once a shining “city on a hill” that promised freedom for all the earth. I despise this current POTUS and his cronies for the destruction they have caused.

“State Department Spokesperson Jen Psaki”

She should be really proud of little self.

[The Great RJ]

In George Orwell's novel 1984 , the totalitarian state entrenched itself by forcing a new laguage called newspeak which eliminated all words that might allow subversion of Big Brother's dictatorship. Even harboring ideas contrary to the state was a "thought crime"

[BitWielder1]

To-may-to - To-mah-to. Same thing.
The left is twisting the language to twist our minds. Don't be fooled.

[Mears]

Sort of like the “people of color” thing or the “person of interest” thing.

Do they all think we are stupid?

[puppypusher]

The entire staff of the State department should be fired.I haven’t seen a bigger bunch of clowns since Chevy Chase was in Spy’s Like US.

They’re an embarassment to the country.

[chris37]

Whatever, Dept. of Stupid Girls.

Confucius say man who split hair lose head.

[logi_cal869]

Then Beirut ‘83 and Khobar Towers ‘96 were ‘workplace violence’. /s

Whatever.

I just hope they keep making it clear where they stand...

[BlueNgold]

Honest question...

Is there a language for which this seemingly silly parsing of phrases matters?

For better or worse, I wonder if it’s not the English, but the translation, that’s causes this to keep coming up.

[longfellow]

Terrorists or assholes that commit acts of terrorism all look the same to a Marine’s M16.

[combat_boots]

This equivocation has to have a legal implication.

[Personal Responsibility]

Tagline says it all.

[Gritty]

When the truth is obvious, it is the policy of this Administration to lie again and then lie harder.

Like the Devil, there is no truth in these people. They are their father's spawn.

[Eleutheria5]

“It’s an act of terror when American citizens are, individuals, are killed, like contractors, absolutely,” Psaki said.

So if they either kill one of those people, you know, non-Americans, but individuals, that’s not terror. And if they kill an American who is more than an individual, say an ambassador representing America, or a corporate executive who is there in his capacity as a corporate executive, then that’s not terror. Now everything makes perfect sense./irony dripping from every syllable.
