White House Press Secretary: U.S. in a 'Narrative Fight' with Islamic State
    #23659588 - 09/19/16 06:09 PM (7 years, 4 months ago)

http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2016/sep/19/josh-earnest-stresses-narrative-fight-with-isis-wh/

"White House press secretary Josh Earnest responded to the hunt for terror on Ahmad Khan Rahami on Monday by stressing America's "narrative fight" with the Islamic State."

From Earnest= "when it comes to ISIL, we are in a fight, a narrative fight with them, a narrative battle"

:huxleyfacepalm:  So according to Earnest, terrorist acts aren't really taking place, this is just a narrative battle? 

How could someone say something so stupid?  Well, he does work for Obama.

Was this statement made before or after the US recently bombed SAA forces so ISIS could advance into government territory?

If by Obama you mean him, his chief of staff, and nearly everyone in congress. Sure.

What difference does it make?  This is a real fight against radical Islam, even if Hillary, Obama and his retarded Press Secretary don't want to admit it.

These terrorist acts and Clinton's/Obama's reactions just sealed a Trump victory.

You think they want to destroy them? :lolsy:

ISIS exists because the states funded and supplied them. Theyre a political weapon designed to wreak havoc in the middle east and destroy these countries.

Allowing migrants from those parts of the world into the US is coming to an end, in fact the US is going to end up deporting them out of the country even if they are US citizens.

What the US does in that part of the world is of little concern to most US citizens, it's about the homeland.

what the US has been doing in that part of the world for the last 70+ years is absolutely of concern to US citizens, whether they realize it or not.


that's the problem, is that it's not actually about the homeland.

What exactly would you like to have done? Short of invading ISIS territory, what other military action is available to us?

It seems like the only way ISIS really affects us is making us over react. The threat of terrorism is so overblown. We spend so much time on something that statistically is almost nonexistent. We spend hundreds of billions of dollars trying to prevent a few dozen deaths a year. Maybe we should stop freaking out every time some islamic nutcase tries to kill a bunch of people.

Taking the whole area into context America's killed about two million so far. Vietnam was about 1.5 million all together. That's immense. That's like 10 of my home towns, with every single last citizen in it killed.

Maybe stop sending cash and weapons to these nutjobs, and most of all: DO NOT support ISIS with airstrikes against the Syrian regime!!

note: this blip on the radar argument can be used against the gun control advocates, as well. now, taking that into account...forget the actual practical rationale for this discussion...let's talk ideology.

ideology is garbage, a lazy way to bypass real thinking. So naturally we all fall for it.
