War on terror

W.H. official: "Absolutely, we're at war with ISIS"

An Obama administration official involved in the fight against the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS, or ISIL) said Sunday that the U.S. "absolutely" is at war with the terror group, but that the rest of the international community must also be involved.

"Absolutely, we're at war with ISIS, and it's a war that we're not going to relent until we destroy this barbaric terrorist organization," said Brett McGurk, the special presidential envoy to the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL, on CBS' "Face the Nation" Sunday.
