Will: Obama Administration Is ‘Semantically Nimble’ on Foreign Policy

‘It is really hilarious to watch the semantic somersaults’

WILL: "About three weeks ago the president sent a letter to Congress saying he is sending approximately 90 troops to Cameroon to fight Boka Haram. In the letter, he said these forces are equipped with weapons, that’s a start, for the purpose of providing their own force protection and security. It is really hilarious to watch the semantic somersaults. He said they will not be on the front lines as though there are lines like trench in World War I. It’s a fluid situation. Not battles and occupations. Remember, this isn’t is an administration that bombed Libya for eight months and got its compliant lawyers to say this did not constitute, quote: Armed hostilities for eight months. These people, are if nothing else semantically nimble."
