Since Obozo et al refuse to call anything a "war" what creative names can you think of to describe what these adventures we are in ?
Remember "overseas contingency operation"...one of my favorites.

I call it "cause & effect" after Obama was in a rush too do a victory lap claiming Iraq could take care of itself. It has got to be killing him to have to start forming a coalition. My advise ti him would be, Blame Bush!

Pulling out of Iraq was a bad idea, but going in there in the first place was even worse.
It's like spilling a glass of milk and complaining the other guy isn't doing a very good job of cleaning it up.

They also refuse to use the terms IS or Islamic State for fear it may offend muslims and we wouldn't want that. Otherwise they might try to behead us.
Listen to their press conferences, it's either still referred to as ISIL or ISIS, both names dropped by IS.

Between the first and second Gulf wars Saddam Hussain would not allow U.N. inspectors into Iraq. Do you think there is any chance that he had his WMDs removed? But Thanks for giving a murdering dictator the benefit of the doubt?
The US has not declared "War" since Korea or Vietnam dumbfuck!

Nope. WWII was the last formal declaration of war.
That's mostly a technical nitpick though since at a practical level passage of the War Powers Resolution and the process it establishes has for the most part replaced formal declarations of war. They still are possible but very likely won't be used other than maybe a formal statement in some unusual case. Obviously, we can run wars, however you want to label them, without such a formal declaration.

So a country having a murderous dictator and potential WMD's is cause for invasion? 'Cause we'd have to start invading a whole bunch of countries if that were true.
My point stands, we shouldn'tve gone in there again in the first place.

Look, Saddam controlled the 4th. largest army in the world. Invaded his neighbors, gassed the Kurds, killed and tortured 10s of thousands. He got what he deserved. Quit being a pussy-ass, libatard!
