The Obama administration’s fear of offending Muslims will hurt the U.S. war against terrorism, Sen. Joe Lieberman (I-Conn.) said Thursday in a speech blasting the president’s new counterterrorism strategy.
Lieberman said that Obama’s strategy, which was released in June, “was ultimately a big disappointment,” and while it successfully identified the core of the domestic radicalization problem, it did not establish a clear plan of attack to deal with the growing issue.
The four-term senator and one-time presidential candidate said one of the key problems with the Obama administration’s strategy was that it continues to call terrorism that aims to harm the U.S., “violent extremism” instead of “violent Islamist extremism.”
“The administration still refuses to call our enemy in this war by its proper name: violent Islamist extremism,” Lieberman said, speaking at a National Press Club event hosted by the National Consortium for the Study of Terrorism and Responses to Terrorism (START).

I can still tip my hat to Joe for understanding the situation as a Jew. But even he got it wrong.
“Violent Islamic Extremism” should read “All Muslims”.
Sorry, Joe; you are expecting too much from the Muslim in the White House.
I don’t agree with Lieberman on social issues, but I do believe he loves America, unlike Obama.
Say it ain't so, Joe.
Well, that may be the point of Obama’s strategy. By avoiding naming the enemy, he makes it impossible to effectively fight the enemy. You can’t fight an amorphous, unidentified enemy.
Every “moderate” Muslim is a potential terrorist. The belief in Islam is like a tank of gasoline. It looks innocuous, until it meets the fire. For a “moderate” Muslim to become a murderous jihadist, all it takes is a spark of faith.

So what the hell finally brought you out of the ether, Joe?
Muslims love obummer. That has to be wrong for the rest of us.
