MEET THE PRESS (NBC): Republican candidate Jeb Bush wants security zones for refugees in Syria and no fly zone for Syria and to continue to fight both the terrorist state and Assad.

Round-table talking about John Kerry [-who yesterday keep talking about ‘DASH’, I never figured out what he meant by DASH?]

[Alas Babylon!]

The term DAESH is derogatory when talking about the Islamic State in Iraq and as-Shām (ISIS).

The capitals in the word DAESH point out it is an acronym of some sort.

Dawlat (Nation)
al-) Islāmiyya
fÄ«’l-) ‘Irāq
wa’s-) Shām (Greater Syria or the Levant)

So, roughly transcribed to the Latin alphabet that leaves us with DAESH. (The E stands for the ‘ayn in ‘Iraq)

Daesh also sounds similar to the Arabic words daes—which means someone who crushes something underfoot—and also dahes—which is someone who sows discord.

They’re all the same. It started out as ISIS for Iraq and Syria but that didn’t include other areas so it was changed to ISIL, the Levant to include everywhere.

That then changed to IS, simply the Islamic State. Then it changed again to Daesch pronounced Dash and I understand also includes other terrorist organizations.

Good luck understanding it all. I don’t.

So the "experienced, serious" candidate the GOPe machine wants us to turn to all advocate doubling down on the failed Obama/Clinton Syrian strategy? And the DC Establishment thinks THIS is what Voters want?
