"I'm glad the administration is using the legal authority it already has to combat ISIS [Islamic State] in Afghanistan," Corker stated on Wednesday. "It has been a mistake to target al-Qaeda, but not ISIS in Afghanistan — a mistake that has permitted ISIS to expand its reach and influence."
Corker noted that any further drawdown of allied forces in Afghanistan would create even bigger risks for the Afghan people, the region, as well as for US national security.
"[T]he president should make clear our continued commitment... to sustain the current force in Afghanistan," he added.
The Daesh is a designated terrorist organization outlawed in the United States and Russia as well as in numerous other countries.

from comment -- 'war on terror' --
For the billionth time, I suggest that you stop echoing the words of the moron Bush. Once you use his marketing term, you have admitted its reality. You have then already lost the linguistic battle and anything you say against it is useless, even if you add ' ' marks to indicate your disdain…or whatever. You have accepted its reality. Please stop doing that.
Oh, wait. I forgot. Your argument is undoubtedly "but everybody uses that term" --- baaaaaaaaa.
Good little sheeple!
Seriously, we must create our own meme, in order to win the linguistic battle, so that arguments are on ground of our own choosing --- has anyone here besides me ever read a book on strategy? (I've read dozens).
This is the DAFT war: It was started by Public Law 107-40, which is the bane of our existence.
