Obama Administration Says U.S. Is ‘At War’ With ISIS
I’m deleting the video because it’s one of those idiots from the intercept, here’s a better perspective.
Four presidents:
The Obama administration said for the first time Friday that the United States is “at war” with ISIS militants.
Josh Earnest, the White House press secretary, used the language at least three times during his daily briefing with reporters. “The U.S. is at war with ISIL in the same way the U.S. is at war with al Qaeda,” he said, using an alternate acronym for the group.
Minutes earlier, a Pentagon spokesman, Rear Adm. John Kirby, used similar terminology. “This is not the Iraq war of 2002,” he told reporters. “But, make no mistake, we know we are at war with ISIL, in the same way we are at war and continue to be at war with al Qaeda and its affiliates.”
Later in the afternoon, a State Department spokeswoman used almost the exact same language.
