Aggressive kinetic action
by digby
This, from the NY Times, struck me as funny — in a dark, depressing sort of way:
“There have been offers both to Centcom and to the Iraqis of Arab countries taking more aggressive kinetic action,” said one of the officials, who used the acronym for the United States Central Command, which oversees military operations in the Middle East.
I think it’s great that they explain that Centcom stands or US Central Command. But it probably would have been even more helpful if they explained that “aggressive kinetic action” means — war.
