White House: We're Not At 'War' With ISIS

    Colin Campbell

    The White House is insisting the U.S. is not at war with the Islamic State, also known as ISIS or ISIL, despite an aggressive air campaign and previously labeling the jihadist group an "imminent threat to every interest we have."

"Before getting into the strategy though, there seems [to be] a fundamental, existential question: Is the United States presently at war with ISIS, yes or no?" MSNBC host Chris Hayes asked President Barack Obama's top spokesman, White House press secretary Josh Earnest, on Thursday night.

Earnest went with "no."

"No, Chris. What we are doing is we are working very aggressively with international partners, with Iraqi and Kurdish security forces, to take the steps necessary to mitigate the threat that's posed by ISIL," he responded.

The interview was part of a series of television appearances for Earnest on Thursday and Friday after Obama stumbled and said "we don't have a strategy yet" for dealing with the Islamic State in Syria. Earnest insisted Obama actually has a "comprehensive strategy" even as critics slam the administration for not articulating a more forceful foreign policy vision for the region.

On MSNBC's "Morning Joe" program Friday, Earnest was again pressed with the "war" question.

"Does the president agree with [columnist] Eugene Robinson that we are, in fact, at war with ISIS even though it's not a declared war?" host Joe Scarborough inquired.

Earnest, again, maintained the U.S. was simply trying to "mitigate the threat."

"I think what the president would say is it's very important that we take the necessary steps to mitigate the threat that ISIL poses to the United States of America," he said.

Duh. This White House is "at war" only against conservative Americans.

Duh. This White House is "at war" only against conservative Americans.

Somebody should ask (as a serious question) which group Bambi thinks is the greater threat to our way of life: American Patriots or ISIS?

Might turn on a light-bulb for a few people and would be very funny...

We're just bombing them guys; we're not actually at war.

What is more threatening to our existence:  Constitutional fidelity or Islamic extremism?

We could create a long list of these questions for the fraud in the White House.

America has switched sides in the war on terror under President Obama. Or more likely "terror" now has a new definition. Under Bush it meant Jihadist hell- bent on killing as many innocent people as possible yelling Allāhu Akbar as they blow them selves up.   The new definition of terror is a Christian America, an English speaking America, an America  moving towards conservative values.

Ever wonder  why there is no hint of an “America” in the writings of  John on the Island of  Patmos – namely the Book of Revelation?     Maybe  because  we are no longer a super power, and have no more impact on world affairs at the time he was writing about,  than  any other country in the western hemisphere.   Under Obama we have withdrawn from our role as a Super Power and leader of the Free World, and there may be no getting it back.

Imminent Terrorist Attack Warning By Feds on US Border

http://www.judicialwatch.org/bulletins/imminent-terrorist-attack-warning-feds-us-border/

Islamic terrorist groups are operating in the Mexican border city of Ciudad Juarez and planning to attack the United States with car bombs or other vehicle born improvised explosive devices (VBIED). High-level federal law enforcement, intelligence and other sources have confirmed to Judicial Watch that a warning bulletin for an imminent terrorist attack on the border has been issued.  Agents across a number of Homeland Security, Justice and Defense agencies have all been placed on alert and instructed to aggressively work all possible leads and sources concerning this imminent terrorist threat.

Specifically, Judicial Watch sources reveal that the militant group Islamic State of Iraq and Greater Syria (ISIS) is confirmed to now be operating in Juarez, a famously crime-infested narcotics hotbed situated across from El Paso, Texas. Violent crimes are so rampant in Juarez that the U.S. State Department has issued a number of travel warnings for anyone planning to go there. The last one was issued just a few days ago.

Intelligence officials have picked up radio talk and chatter indicating that the terrorist groups are going to “carry out an attack on the border,” according to one JW source.  “It’s coming very soon,” according to this high-level source, who clearly identified the groups planning the plots as “ISIS and Al Qaeda.” An attack is so imminent that the commanding general at Ft. Bliss, the U.S. Army post in El Paso, is being briefed, another source confirms. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) did not respond to multiple inquiries from Judicial Watch, both telephonic and in writing, about this information.

The disturbing inside intelligence comes on the heels of news reports revealing that U.S. intelligence has picked up increased chatter among Islamist terror networks approaching the 13th anniversary of the 9/11 attacks. While these terrorists reportedly plan their attack just outside the U.S., President Obama admits that “we don’t have a strategy yet” to combat ISIS. “I don’t want to put the cart before the horse,” the commander-in-chief said this week during a White House press briefing. “I think what I’ve seen in some of the news reports suggest that folks are getting a little further ahead of what we’re at than what we currently are.”

We are probably part of one of the ten kings in Rev 17.

Coincidentally, the Club of Rome plans to organize the world into 10 World Regions.

"So, the Club of Rome states that a ‘master plan’ must be developed to guide mankind through the plethora of ‘crises’ embodied in the World Problematique. It suggests that the world system must be restructured drastically into a ‘horizontal system’ which would involve interdependent ‘world regions’. An extract from their report describing these regions in detail can be found here. In fact the report even includes a map illustrating how the world can be divided into 10 regions: "

To steal a phrase from the esteemed Dr. Lenin:
"We may not be at war with ISIS, but ISIS is at war with us..."
