The plan has to be ready in 30 days, not the destruction of ISIS.
I personally don’t like Daesh, it’s what Kerry called them all the time. I suspect he didn’t want to use anything that had “Islamic” in the name, since Obama said it has nothing to do with Islam. Everybody knows what ISIS is, why confuse people now?
“Da’ish or Daesh
• What is it? A disputed acronym based on the group’s full Arabic name.
• Stands for: “Dawlat al-Islamiyah f’al-Iraq wa al-Sham,” which translates to “Islamic State in Iraq and the Levant.” The Levant refers to an area between the Mediterranean Sea and the Euphrates River.
• Used by: The French government, starting in September. Some Arab politicians and Arab media use the term, but the group itself doesn’t recognize it. The acronym has a negative meaning because it sounds similar to the Arabic word for “sowers of discord,” which are enemies of Islam.”

Trump Orders Pentagon to Send Plan Within 30 Days to Defeat Daesh
I know. The headline reads funny.
Thanks.
The Kurds use the term at the risk of having their tongues cut out.
Exactly!
We can’t just exterminate them. We have to humiliate them in they eyes of history.

step two: nuke Riyadh
