Secretary of State Kerry, in an op-ed that I believe just appeared tonight on the NYTs website, does not mince words in defining the elimination of ISIS as America's mission going forward.  

Here's Kerry, but I think everyone should read the entire piece. The timing of the piece is kind of strange, i.e. it's appearing on Friday night of Labor Day Weekend.  That is not exactly the time one generally chooses to reach a huge audience. Is that purposeful or is it guided by realities on the ground, or as a follow-up to the aggressive words spoken by British Prime Minister Cameron  and others over the last couple of days?  

IN a polarized region and a complicated world, the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria presents a unifying threat to a broad array of countries, including the United States. What’s needed to confront its nihilistic vision and genocidal agenda is a global coalition using political, humanitarian, economic, law enforcement and intelligence tools to support military force.
