White House Denies Isis Has Established A Caliphate
2015-05-22
[BREITBART] Thursday at the White House press briefing, when asked if he believes ISIS has a caliphate, press secretary Josh Earnest said, "No, I don't believe that at all."
Thereby demonstrating that he has no f***ing idea what he's talking about.
Earnest said, "No, I don't believe that at all. What we actually see is they do control some territory, but less than they used too.
How about Ramadi?
We also see that ISIS leaders are very concerned about their own security. They are not moving particularly freely these days. They are justifiably concerned about their safety because they know that the U.S. and our coalition partners have the capacity to take them off the battlefield."

#13  See FREEREPUBLIC > [Shoebat Foundation] WALID SHOEBAT: THE US WILL LOSE TO ISIS.

Well, good Politicos being good Politicos will find a way to get true-blue, red-blooded Amerikans to clap-n-applause at the Defeat/Fall of America + Global Islamic Conquest.

Rise of the US-born, US-raised, Ex-US Elite + Convert-to-Islam ISLAMIC MAHDI/MESSIAH/HIDDEN IMAM???

#12  They are denying that ISIS created it; Obama wants the Caliphate creation credit.

#9  Does it matter what we think they are? If the masses of Islam believe they are a Caliphate what does that mean? Does it increase their numbers or turn folks against them as blasphemers. Figure that out and act accordingly. Stop parsing words as if that matters.

#6  It's not a caliphate if we don't recognize it.

#5  They can't have a caliphate. They would have to apply for a caliphate license, and the White House has checked with the Patent Office, there's no paperwork. So there.

#3  ISIS leaders are too f*cking crazy to be worried about more than how the next press release will read.

#2  It's not a caliphate, they're not Islamic, they don't have a state and these are not the droids you are looking for.

If we make it to 2030, it will be God's own miracle.

#1  Iff by "some territory" the Bammer means ...

* JAPAN TIMES > WID CAPTURE OF HISTORIC [ancient] PALMYRA, ISLAMIC STATE HOLDS HALF OF SYRIA, [lotsa] OIL, IRAQI BORDER CROSSINGS.

The above subject to new-n-larger changes as per the ISIS = "Energizer" Rabbit???
