Unbelievable.

America’s top law enforcement officer does not believe we are at a time of war.

Via National Review Online: Holder: ‘We’re Not in a Time of War’

With 10,000 American soldiers patrolling the mountains and deserts of Afghanistan, thousands more deployed to Iraq, and U.S. military aircraft conducting daily strikes in both those countries and Syria, Attorney General Eric Holder claimed the nation is “not in a time of war.”

Holder made the comments Tuesday during a talk to journalists at the National Press Club….Asked about the Obama administration’s zealous prosecution of reporters for allegedly endangering national security by publishing sensitive material or refusing to reveal sources, the nation’s top law enforcement officer inadvertently provided insight into how the White House views America’s overseas engagements….

And, when asked why the Obama administration refused to say that ISIS and other terror groups were motivated by their Islamic faith, he blamed…Fox.

Notice, though, that he does not say “Fox News.”

Just…”Fox.”

The attorney general had been visibly annoyed when a questioner brought up the not-war earlier in the luncheon, asking why the Obama administration refused to say that the Islamic State and other radical, ultra-violent terror groups were motivated by their Islamic faith.

“We spend more time, more time talking about what you call it, as opposed to what do you do about it, you know? I mean really,” he said. “If Fox [News] didn’t talk about this, they would have nothing else to talk about, it seems to me.”

“Radical Islam, Islamic extremism — I’m not sure an awful lot is gained by that,” Holder continued, later adding that he doesn’t “worry an awful lot about what the appropriate terminology should be.”

    White House won’t acknowledge that the Bush era Use of Military Force Agreements apply to today. WH wants Obama’s new requested AUMF to be passed. Failure to elect Romney has consequences, as shown daily by the actions and statements of White.

    Spite House is dedicated to the objective that there be no more War Memorials. Wouldn’t surprise me if some Democrat introduces a bill to create a Peace Memorial on the Washington Mall with the Nobel Peace Prize winner at the center.
