Obama's Delusional Stance On Terrorism

Ever since the attack on our Libyan consulate and the murder of our ambassador, President Obama has refused to call that bloody scene an act of terrorism.   In his U.N. speech, he continued to call the mob rioting across the Middle East and elsewhere, merely a response to the "film" that denigrated the prophet Muhammad; never once mentioning organized terrorism. 

No one should be surprised that the President ignores any references to terrorism because the delusional Obama seems to think that terrorism is simply a "tactic" being used by extremists.  His senior adviser on "counter-terrorism" made this position quite clear in August of 2009 -- just months after Obama took office:



So, for nearly four years, we've had a President who doesn't recognize terrorists as terrorists. In fact, in his  mind, the War on Terror is over.  The silliness of this is that Obama is playing with semantics in some obtuse effort to not offend Muslims by having them broadly painted as terrorists.  No one else has done that.   Everyone knows that terrorism is an extremist act being conducted by Jihadists who have declared war on this country.  But, this is so Obama.  He's terribly afraid that Muslims will be somehow offended. This prostrate position has gotten us nowhere.  He refers to world events by bad actors like Al Qaeda and Iran as "noise" and "bumps in the road."  To anyone else, this is seen as simply weakness. That's why today, Muslims all over the world are burning our flag and shouting "death to America"  and "death to Obama."  We need a President that is less worried about "offending" those who would kill us and more concerned about "defending" Americans.
