Not true. I just watched John Kerry describe it as a heightened counter-terrorism operation; not a war.

It's hard to say what this means. Obviously, if the United States brought the absolute full force of its military, no holds barred, into Iraq and Syria, they would obliterate ISIS 100x over (which is why I don't really worry to much about ISIS getting too big--ultimately the US could take care of them). But the US isn't going to do this right now, as concerns for civilians and also the desire of Americans to avoid big wars for now would prevent this from happening.

Elkewwty: The White House declared Friday the United States was at war with Islamic State radicals, seeking to rub out another semantic flap over its Syria policy.

In a series of television interviews Secretary of State John Kerry had appeared to be reluctant to term the expansion of US operations against IS in Iraq and Syria as “war.”

But pressed to clear up doubts about how President Barack Obama sees the conflict, the White House and Pentagon left little doubt.

“The United States is at war with ISIL in the same way that we are at war with Al-Qaeda and its Al-Qaeda affiliates all around the globe,” said White House spokesman Josh Earnest.

Pentagon spokesman Rear Admiral John Kirby said that the US was not fighting the last Iraq war and used similar language to Earnest.

“But make no mistake, we know we are at war with ISIL in the same way we’re at war and continue to be at war with Al-Qaida and its affiliates,” he said.

Obama is scheduled to be in Tampa, Florida Wednesday to receive a briefing from top commanders at US Central Command, which oversees American forces in the Middle East.

In interviews on Thursday, as Kerry toured the Middle East building an anti-IS coalition, he was reluctant to use the term “war” in referring to the US campaign, telling people not to indulge in “war fever.”

“We’re engaged in a major counterterrorism operation, and it’s going to be a long-term counterterrorism operation,” Kerry told CBS News.

“I think ‘war’ is the wrong terminology and analogy but the factis that we are engaged in a very significant global effort to curb terrorist activity,” Kerry said

the american government is evil. they think they own the world, after providing arms and cash for the syrian rebels to overthrow al- assad. It has now backfired on them. They did the same with al-qaeda and bin laden and 9/11 occured. They did it again with i.s.i.s and their journalists are dead. When will AMERICA realise that ARABS HATE THEM AND THEY SHOULD MIND THEIR OWN BUSINESS

shymexx: Hysterical!

War with ISIS, or indirect war with Syria for regime change - but the route goes through ISIS - a creation of those fighting fictitious war against them plus Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar.

The end game is glaring. Obama stopped all Bush's wars - but started his own wars via dubious means.

That's the reset button right there - a change leading to conflicts that will last for the next few decades.
What's up Shymex, this war is unavoidable for Obama because of the beheading of the two Americans. American public opinion is highly in favor of wiping out ISIS. ONLY HOPING NO GROUND TROOPS WILL BE INVOLVED BUT YOU NEVER KNOW . JUST WORRIED ABOUT GOLF OF TONKIN MOMENT AS IN VIETNAM. We sure don't need another war to bankrupt US.

Bro, the whole thing is looking like mission creep already, with the inclusion of Syria. Just one miscalculation might lead to troops being sent there, and that's a scary permutation. I'm anti-war - and I was planning to join the British Army next year as an officer. But that looks unlikely now due to what's on the horizon. It's sad.

Eh, still sign up. Britain is super-reluctant for this (and they have Brit nationals fighting for ISIL, whom they are cautiously dragging their feet about taking away their citizenship). Most likely they won't step in till their hands are forced.

I am anti-war but unfortunately, that seems to be the only antidote for now. ISIS is not a group to give that much space. Somehow, I feel Assad is well involved in this and will bear the blame for whatever happens to Syria.

The whole thing looks like mission creep already, with the inclusion of Syria in the folds - without a vote for that at the UN security council. Also, both Obama and David Cameron have declared Assad's government as illegitimate. And that obviously means they can violate Syrian airspace and territorial integrity, without Assad's permission.

Let's say, Syria for example shoots down a US fighter jet (the Syrian air defense system is one of the most sophisticated in MENA), that might lead to something else. Or, Syrian troops (or its Hezbollah and Shia proxies) become targets of US "friendly fire" and things escalate from there?

Furthermore, I don't even think ISIS can be defeated without troops on the ground - they're too organised and sophisticated for aerial attacks to have any meaningful impact on, in Syria. Except they're also planning to use the Kurds in Syria against them - and that looks unlikely.

Anyway, anywhere the US goes, the UK is definitely going to follow suit - that's what the special friendship is about.
