I'm Posting This For "Costanza Defense" and Because I Need to Post Something

This is pretty incredible. Marie Larf claims IS is not at war with America -- despite their insistence that they are, in fact, at war with America.

At a briefing Thursday, a reporter brought up anti-American comments from ISIL leaders: "I mean, even they are announcing, ISIL people in their message, whatever, the recorded message, other messages, that now we are in a war with America."

"This is not about ISIL versus the United States," State Department spokeswoman Marie [L]arf objected. "They are killing anyone who gets in their way: Sunnis, Shia Muslims, Christians, Yazidis, Iraqis, Syrians, anyone who gets in their way -- and now an American."

...

"But they are announcing that it's a war against America," the reporter pressed. "Right or wrong, that's what they are saying."

[L]arf maintained, "Well, they can say whatever they'd like, but what I am making clear is that's not what ISIL represents..."

So that's pretty amazing.

As I've said, Obama wants the war with IS to not be noticed by his LIV base, so he's just pretending there's no war.

When people ask, "Say, didn't IS declare war on us?," Marie Larf tells us "Oh they say lots of things."

But I'm posting it, and stealing more from the Free Beacon than I usually would, because Marie Larf has on her Shelley Dubinsky* outfit.
