Where is US policy to fight the Jihad?

[Jeff]

Bill is right on the money here, it may not be all Muslims but it is time for us to fight the Jihad.

The presumption here is that the US actually WANTS to fight the jihadists. I am not convinced that the leadership of this country really wants to confront them. Our policy appears to be anything BUT direct confrontation.

I agree, but I believe that is what he is saying is why aren't we, we need to be, ect...

IMO Obama doesn't wants to fight these folks at all, I feel he is just trying to keep ISIS ( and all other extremist ) contained well enough until the next president comes in and then it is there problem, but as Bill explains the longer we wait the worst it is going to be, we need to fight this now along with all the Good Muslims and the rest of the world, this Cult is looking to do nothing but cause everyone that doesn't agree with them harm.

I just watched O'Reilly's 'Memo'. An excellent one, in my opinion .. his conclusions get to the heart of the issue. Impressive.

I hate to say it, but even so, there's room for criticism. Bill O'Reilly DOES play into the 'it's a minority' .. 'you can find verses advocating violence in other religions' .. 'EXTREMIST Islam' is his description of terrorist perpetrators ... and it's all of this language, all of these assertions, which the Left has used to do its utmost to put entire populations to sleep when it comes to awareness of any threat, its nature, its origins. Such language sanitises and excuses .. and gives the enemy latitude to DEMAND tolerance where none is really warranted.

Here, in the UK, it's reached extreme levels. Publicly 'disparage' Islam, and in law that can be taken to be incitement to violence, actionable in law. Plans are afoot to CRIMINALISE mere criticism of Sharia Law !!!

And all the while, terrorism continues .. and in the public eye, anyone committing it is automatically 'extremist', or some form of nutter. ANYTHING but face the truth of what's causing it all !!!

But I have respect for O'Reilly ... I used to watch his broadcasts when I had access to the Sky satellite system, and much of what he says resonates with me. AND ... on the day of the London bombings, 7th July 2005, the story has it that he was holidaying in Ireland at the time, learned of the attack, contacted Fox News, and demanded to return immediately to host that evening's programme. This he did .. and his Talking Points Memo said exactly what needed to be said in terms of bringing all those behind the attack to justice.

I've always appreciated him for that. HE was more outspoken, more outraged, than our OWN people .. because, of course, political correctness still had to win through !!

[aboutime]

We all have learned by now, after more than six years of NO leadership from the White House. There is NO US Policy to fight ANYTHING....unless Obama gets permission, and approval from the Muslim Brotherhood, and C.A.I.R. after Holder informs them how desperately he JUST WANTS US TO BE FRIENDS.
