White House: The US isn’t against ISIS, it’s the international community against ISIS…or something

For crying out loud. This administration is so afraid of saying the US is at war with ISIS that they beat around the bush with these meandering statements.

The question from the reporter was basically are we or are we not at war with ISIS. And in response White House Spokesperson Josh Earnest went into this meandering answer saying it’s not the US against ISIS, but the international community against ISIS and the international community will ultimately be responsible for degrading and destroying ISIS.

Then he says the same thing the Pentagon official said, that we are at war with ISIS in the same way we are at war with Al Qaeda.

So is that some kind of code…to say we’re sorta at war when we’re not really at war or something?

Honestly, I’m not sure what all nonsense this means at this point. But listen for yourselves and see if you can make sense out of it:
