Media love Obama’s war; What should it be called? This name idea is GENIUS

Bush: "We're going fight Islamists for years." Media: "BOOOOOO!" Obama: "We're going to fight Islamists for Decades." Media: "YAY! *swoon*"

@RBPundit LOL, they truly act like fangirls. So repulsive.

Yep. And it’s truly sickening.

On Tuesday, President Obama made a super short statement about the Syria airstrikes and ISIS that pretty much said nothing, aside from self-praise heaped on a coalition of five. Five.

Also, it is going to “take time.”

Pres #Obama: "overall effort will take time…will be challenges ahead, but we're going to do what's necessary to take the fight to [#ISIS]"

Obama: “Overall effort will take time"

But wait …

So, media. Why is it ok for Obama to wage a intergenerational war against Islamists when you all nailed Bush over it?

— RB (@RBPundit) September 23, 2014

Yes, what about that? We’ll wait, lapdogs.

In the meantime, there’s also this:

It's kinda like war but without the fancy name #syriaairstrikes

Still not heard a name for this latest war, though officials & military officers are warning it might last years.

Hmmm. Let’s think a minute.

Hey! How’s this for an idea?

@attackerman Mr Obama says it's the whole world against a strain of extremists who use terrorist tactics. I propose "Global War on Terror."

Genius.
