The U.S. is in a fight with the Islamic State, but according to the White House it is a fight of words, not arms.
When it comes to ISIL (ISIS), we are in a fight a narrative fight with them. A narrative battle, said White House press secretary Josh Earnest while appearing on CNN Monday, the day after the U.S. suffered two bombings in the New York metropolitan area and an Islamic State-linked terrorist in Minnesota went on a stabbing rampage.

Belly-gazing language, indulged in by ideologues who have no idea how to run a nation.
Obama brought a narrative (rubber) knife to a gunfight.
I am sure the people getting stitched up in the Minn. muzzie slashings and New Yorkers getting glass and shrapnel dug out of their bodies are failing to hear the narrative that obumnghole espouts. And we wonder why the world shakes their collective heads at leadership of a once great nation as the US.
Democrats don’t understand what it means to produce a physical result in the physical world. In reference to capitalism .... they don’t understand what a product is outside of being something they can regulate. In war ... it’s nothing physical to them .... all narrative. People who become leftists are just not consciously connected to the physical world. They then further mistake the imaginary for the spiritual. It has always been this way, and it’s why they aren’t phased by actual measurements. In spiritual terms, they are ‘identified with their minds’ ... that is ... there is not a primary reality outside of and separate from their inner picture, which is uquestioned. In short they are deluded. Can not know God this way. Can not in fact be good .... other than in a blind squirrel way.
Obviously we need to do saturation bombing with hashtags.
And Muslims.
A Whut?
Aaaaaaaaaaaaannnd we're done.
Obama wins! Yay! Obama! Nothing more need be said or done. Problem solved.
If Democrats honestly looked at the problem and defined it, then they would have to figure out a way to solve it. They don’t want to do that, since they are nothing if not incapable.
That’s what this belly-button gazing is all about. They prefer to look for belly button lint than to actually study the problem—which is belligerent Islamists.
The sad part is that to some degree I think they really believe this.
Obama thinks their bombs are ‘words’... I have no clue what he means...
Narrative fight?
When they make something complex that should be simple, you know they are confused.
wait, what ? I thought all they needed was good jobs ?
Well thank God the president has demonstrated seriousness about the narrative fight. Ppffttt...
This appears to be the result of higher education. All theory, no experience. All intellect, no thought.
OMG Trump is going to take advantage of this...a “narrative” battle?? Who in the heck talks about an enemy bent to destroy us like this?
It's Obama's strategic dialogue with ISIS over a camp fire.
