Rudderless Leadership Cannot Defeat Determined Jihad

When Japan attacked Pearl Harbor, FDR didn't avoid using the words "Japan", "Japanese", "Imperial Japanese" while addressing the public about the atrocity. His decisive and determined leadership will forever be in the history books of this nation and probably beyond. Hundreds of thousands volunteered, virtually every factory and mill employing tens of millions became part of the American war machine. FDR inspired confidence that America would prevail and did whatever it took to accomplish that.

George W. Bush reacted to the attacks on September 11, 2001 in a way that even those who resented him, rallied around him. He created the Department of Homeland Security. He promised to avenge the 3,000 murdered Americans and invaded Afghanistan after displaying patience and exhausting diplomacy with the Taliban who feigned the possibility of turning over the al Qa’eda leadership.

Once that it was apparent that the Taliban was playing games with the State Department, negotiations predictably collapsed By year's end, the military tore into the God forsaken nation and eviscerated thousands of Taliban and al Qa’eda fighters, although the diplomatic period did allow the leadership like Osama Bin Laden and Ayman al Zawahiri to escape.

Those are the samples of leadership and restrained power that the world, including the Islamic radicals either respect or fear.

President Obama, in contrast, has made his infamous “line in the sand” threat, which was laughed at by Syria’s dictator Assad. He embraced the violent Coup de’ tats, orchestrated by the Muslim Brotherhood which has turned the Middle East on its head. He has, at times, sounded like Islam’s defense attorney rather than the leader of the free world constantly under attack by Islamic radical militants looking to topple civilization and begin anew under Sharia Law.

President Obama can sometimes be confused with using the talking points of CAIR (Center for American Islamic Relations) pointing to the Inquisition and Crusades things in Christian history that pre-date the discovery of the Americas and seems to buy the revised Muslim version of the Crusade’s history.

To this point, Obama’s greatest tangible actions are:

• Being the seated President when the CIA finally located and killed (at his order) an isolated, hiding Osama Bin Laden in Abbatobad, Pakistan
• Pulling American forces out of Iraq, despite warnings and even pleas from the Pentagon who prophetically promised the rise of what would become ISIS
• Declaring the “End of the War on Terror” However, no one told the enemy this news. They are tirelessly slaughtering anyone not on board with their exact kind of Islamic beliefs
• Focuses on the access to guns as the problem in America after each and every  Jihadist attack as opposed to naming the enemy Radical Islam and risk offending Muslim voters here and Muslims globally
• He believes in Drone strikes in and around ISIS strongholds that virtually every military expert says is not even close to doing enough to defeat this enemy.

There is an old saying Mr. President that needs to be said. Click HERE for the saying. Our future, our children deserve a better fate, than the one being formed by half-witted efforts by some politically correct, elected suit giving it that old college try.
