under domestic law and international law the united states is at war with al qaeda the taliban and their associated force now this is barack obama speaking more like george w. bush and i think it's worth mentioning that the white house still relies on the military force authorise ation law that was granted to george w. bush just days after nine eleven but at the same time in the same speech. managed to provide a counter argument to his own point let's listen to what he had to say. unless we discipline our thinking our definitions our actions we may be drawn into more wars we don't need to fight. now obviously i think both the current administration and obama in particular had plenty of opportunity to discipline the self-restraint themselves but of course this challenge was missed on both libya and syria as you argued before well actually you know when he said we are fighting a legitimate war it is not a legitimate war it is illegitimate war simply because other people are killed if we talk about of them kyra that is very weak and of going to send it's not as strong as it used to be and w
