…on Fox & Friends this morning, the Obamassiah has turned over what to call his non-War on Terror to various marketing people/firms.

I’m guessing they’re looking for something warmer and fuzzier since they don’t plan on actually fighting whatever they end up calling it.

We are sprinting back to a September 10th mind set. I’m afraid we’ll learn this lesson too late.

for resistance to Democrat socialist policies only. Doom awaits us if Obama doesn’t get a trillion in election funding.
These people are so caught up in their own ambition and power lust that islamic terror is barely in their thought process, except as a possible electoral issue. Defense and war hardly matter to them, it may even be an irritant.

And Obama babbles about “hearts and minds” and “working together”. Platitudes comfort the liberal ego but they don’t sell on the terrorist side of the river.

Consider: Bush and co. went to great lengths to say that Islam was a religion of peace. They tripped over themselves to point out that we want to work with all those peace-loving Muslims and folks with blood ties to the Middle East to make clear that what we are “at war” with is not Islam or Arabs/Iranians/Syrians/Palestinians/Afghanis/Pashtuns/etc., but those radicals who “do not represent” “authentic” Islam/whathaveyou Middle Eastern peoples. The phrase “war on terror” was coined precisely to emphasize this distinction the Bush administration was SO CAREFUL to cultivate. And in the process, Bush’s decisions to go to war in Afghanistan and Iraq liberated what, a half-million Muslims and the above-listed peoples from Taliban/Hussein autocracy. No one. No one has done as much for the cause of freedom and Western-style classical liberalism in those geographic areas ever. ever…

By distancing himself from “war on terror” in the name of being nicer and less divisive, Obama has implicitly announced that “war on terror” is and always has been synonymous with “war on Islam/aforementioned peoples.” So if we’re not at war with “terror,” with precisely whom, or what, ARE we are war with, Mr. President? Or do you simply deny (refuse to acknowledge?) that we are actually at war?

Boy. Talk about giving away the farm. Words do matter, and Obama’s use of them lately reveals a profound lack of seriousness dangerously coupled with a great belief in his own hype.

Tax cheats nominated and defended for top cabinet posts, Keynesian/socialist “stimulus” bills, no sense of personal responsibility, disregard for innocent human life, and a glaring lack of seriousness or understanding wrt international issues/national defense…

We are in grave danger with this man at the helm.

Hear me out:

He’s opening up another front on the WOT, the carrot front. The stick is still there, we’re just holding it behind our back. And believe me I know there are plenty of terrorists not interested in carrots. They get the stick. These gestures toward not antagonizing the Muslim world as a whole are designed to get the Muslim world as a whole on our side. Then we don’t have to go over there to fight them because their neighbors have rejected their ideology of hate and rooted them out themselves.

Positive spin? Maybe, but I’m not convinced the Bush policy of bomb first, ask questions later was going to lead us to a successful conclusion.

And that’s a thought that really puts fear into me.

OBTW I am not to concerned with offending the “Peaceful Religion.” They offend me on a daily basis when they shout “Death to America.”

Every statement POTUS makes has major consequences, unfortunatly or current POTUS has been found wanting.
