[su_quote cite=”Jonah Goldberg”]The administration has struggled with the W-word. The President had to try several times to articulate a coherent position, working through terms like “degrade,” “destroy,” “manage,” etc. The secretary of state insisted that “war” wasn’t just the wrong term (he preferred “counterterrorism operation”), but it was wrong even to analogize this new military action to war. That’s pretty remarkable given the Democrats’ comfort with analogizing pretty much everything else to war. We are through the looking glass when it is OK to say that opposition to requiring elderly nuns to pay for birth control is part of a “war on women” but airstrikes and coordinated ground attacks by allied militias aren’t like a “war” on terrorists.[/su_quote]
