| SultanKnish: Don't Mention the War |

| Bill Clinton was ambiguous about the definition of �"sex�" and "is". Barack Obama is uncertain about what the definition of "war" might be. ...Democrats could defend Bill Clinton's need to lie about what they termed his private life, but even they can�'t defend an administration that plays Clintonesque word games with something as big as a war. We are currently not in a war with the Islamic State, which according to this administration is neither Islamic nor a State, with a strategy of possibly destroying them (unless that doesn't work out and then we'll settle for degrading them) and we are backed in this non-war by a coalition of Muslim nations that can't as of yet be named, but which have possibly pledged to help us with certain undetermined things. ...Obama was guiding Americans away from the awareness that we were in a war. In wars, someone wins and someone loses. If he refused to call it a war, maybe we wouldn't realize that we were losing. |
