Quote:This is a very difficult situation and one where politics gets in the way. We were dealing with radical Islam up to the point of the election of our current President. Whether people like it or not, getting out of Iraq, drawing down in Afghanistan, closing Gitmo, etc. was not the right thing to do, but our current President ran on that idea and people bought into it. Eliminating "enhanced interrogation techniques" only cripples our guys and signals weakness to the bad guys.


Those were all bad decisions, and we are now seeing the result.


What is sickening is that the current Administration fails to acknowledge or even admit what the problem is. They rather try to mask it or "cover it up" purely for political reasons. The shooting at Fort Hood by a radical Islamic terrorist was labeled a "random act of workplace violence". This recent event, they "aren't sure" of a motive. The Attorney General vows to prosecute anyone that uses "Anti-Muslim" speech that "edges toward violence". Nothing said about finding, rooting out or prosecuting those particular Muslims that might be plotting further attacks.


A strong leader of our country is desperately needed right now.
