- Preread Questions
- Is this a War?
- Why is a name important?
- Any further escalation?
- Do both parties support the war?
- Does a name make it seem more like a war?
- The author most likely wrote the article to support a push for an answer in whether the military will escslate the "ISIS Situation" or not.
- Every US military operation has had a name since 1989. Secretary of Defense, Leon Panetta, said it could be a 30-year "war."
- He is implying the US either stop the airstrikes or put more effort into stopping ISIS.
- The author proves that military officials are being very cautious and timid about escaltation and the "war" as a whole.
- The writer assumes that the military doesn't want an official for the operation because that would "Make them own it."
- Sources
- Wall Street Journal article
- Obama conferences
- He does a good job expressing both sides (the military and the people). He takes quotes from not only the commander and chief but also from Sec. of Defense and several military officials.
- I do trust the article. Although it isn't really a statement article it doesn't seem to use any bad journalism like pulling out only certain quotes.
- This article seems credible and it could raise societies interest and opinions on the US' envolvement in oversea affairs.
