ISIS to Take a Whupping From…Operation Inherent Resolve?
Get some marketing folks on that.
Two months after American bombs and missiles began pounding fighters of the so-called Islamic State, President Barack Obama's undeclared war in Iraq and Syria finally has a name: Operation Inherent Resolve.

Operation Elect Hilary.
I thought Obama's whole legal sham is that this is part of "Operation Iraqi Freedom"
Is the resolve inherent? Is it really now? I thought the buzzword this week was "reluctant".
