Obama may have forgotten about “war with Islam,” but war with Islam has not forgotten about him.
Bruce S. Thornton
"President Obama recently gave a speech at the Pentagon about our efforts against ISIS that confirmed he has little awareness of the real world our enemies inhabit. The talk reprised the usual received wisdom and unchallenged orthodoxy that comprise most of the foreign policy establishment’s ideas about Islamic jihadism and how we should fight it. Consider the following particularly egregious examples:
Ideologies are not defeated with guns; they’re defeated by better ideas–– a more attractive and more compelling
"This statement is a classic either-or fallacy. Anyone familiar with
history would have added the adverb “just” before “with guns.” Obama is
indulging stealth pacifism, a variation on the “violence doesn’t solve
anything” and “use your words” mantras of the junior high playground
monitor. Such a stance is politically convenient when the voters are
against the use of force, and a leader doesn’t have the will or ability
to convince them why force is necessary." . . .
