Thursday on CNN's "The Situation Room With Wolf Blitzer," Obama White House National Security Adviser Susan Rice said the president's actions against ISIS are "very different" from America being at war.
Rice said, "I don't know whether you want to call it a war or sustained counterterrorism campaign. I think, frankly, this is a counterterrorism operation that will take time. It will be sustained. We will not have American combat forces on the ground fighting as we did in Iraq and Afghanistan which is what I think the American people think of when they think of a war. So I think this is very different from that. But nonetheless, we'll be dealing with the significant threat to this region, to American personnel in the region and potentially also to Europe and the United States. And we'll be doing it with partners. We'll not be fighting ourselves on the ground but using American air power as we have been over the last several weeks as necessary."

Brings tears to your eyes, doesn't it.
It won’t be a war till the next Republican President,
then it will be HIS war...
Imcompetent AND stupid—fixed it.
Arrogant liars.
Fresh talking points have been released.
It’s not “war-war”?
I’m leaning towards “just plain stupid” unless there are higher more developed levels of “stupid”.
Thats exactly what's going on.
What exactly is this morons qualifcations to be NSA?
She had a good jump shot in college?
She and Samantha Power are the geniuses who convinced Vacation Guy to take out Khaddafi.
Now we can’t even have an Embassy there
She is a liar and arch criminal on the scale of Joe Goebbels.
A Washingtonian nightmare born raised and dedicated to perpetuating the rule of the Apparatchik political class.
She has no soul.
It’s very different from a lie, too.
When Obama said he didn’t have a strategy, he meant a strategy to explain whether this was a war or not.
George W. Bush unleased a “Shock and Awe” approach against our enemies, while Obama prefers an “Aw Shucks” approach.
Yes, this is different! In a war people try to kill each other. In this counter terrorist campaign our side waves Global Warming banners and tries to pass out carbon credits - just ask Lurch.
They gave a War and the White House never came.
to a large extent she’s correct; you try and win a war...in this instance they’re not trying to win anything- obama only hopes he can get Iraq back to where it was when he took over and neglected the situation...
I’ll take stupid for $500 Alex.
ISIS is not Islamic, we are not at war by dropping bombs and killing each other.
Only in a delusional liberal mind would they make sense of that
Maybe if she plays a Mr. Rogers Neighborhood video tape on Twitter, it will calm ISIS down.
First John Kerry. Now Susan Rice.
A war that is not a war.
