Kerry Says U.S. Not at War with ISIS

Secretary of State John Kerry told CNN he would not say the United States is at war with ISIS because the administration’s strategy includes “many different things that one doesn’t think of normally in context of war.”

Said Kerry: “What we are doing is engaging in a very significant counterterrorism operation. It’s going to go on for some period of time. If somebody wants to think about it as being a war with ISIL, they can do so, but the fact is it’s a major counterterrorism operation that will have many different moving parts.”
