Gingrich: Obama Doesn’t Realize Radical Islam Is at War With US

President Barack Obama is so wedded to his liberal policies that he can’t comprehend the meaning of the attacks against us in Libya and Egypt — radical Islam is at war with us, says former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

The president and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the “senseless” violence, he notes on Politico.

“This concept of ‘senseless violence’ is at the heart of the left’s refusal to confront the reality of radical Islamists,” the former House speaker says. “These are not acts of senseless violence. These are acts of war. . . . It is tragic that the president is so committed to a leftist world view that he cannot allow himself to face these facts.”

The attacks in Libya and Egypt almost certainly were coordinated, Gingrich writes. Yet, “the left is desperate to deal with each new incident as though it is occurring in isolation. . . . Because of congressionally-imposed limitations and administrative and bureaucratic timidity, the fact is we know remarkably little about our enemies.”

The president is much to blame, Gingrich argues. “The policies of Obama have made our intellectual incoherence and strategic incompetence even worse. It is no accident that the embassy in Cairo issued a groveling statement, apologizing to the haters for having inconvenienced them with American freedom of speech.”

Its worse than that. If Obama is actually not on the Moslem Botherhood’s side, then he’s using them as tool to reduce America influence abroad.

I said a month ago that if Obama feels like he is going to lose the election he will burn this country to the ground. He doesn’t care what happens, if he knows he is going to lose he will go hide in a bunker somewhere while we all burn. He figures that if he is going to lose he mind as well do everything possible to destroy this country with the short time he has left

>> You are wrong, Newt.

Newt is not wrong; he’s being stately.

attacks in two separate countries on the same day which just happened to be 9/11. The two countries also just happened to be the same two countries whose leaders Obama helped overthrow. And we are expected to believe all this is not connected.

Not only was it planned but Obama himself is personally responsible. None of this would have happened if not for Obama and his warped arab spring fantasy.

No such thing as radical Islam. Islam itself is radical, the whole thing.

Islam uses what we in the West used to commonly call “wet” operations, torture, assassination, mutilation to intimidate anyone to the point of submission. Period. THe Muslim Brotherhood, liking to offer the more “moderate” stick of softer cultural, political, educational and financial approaches actually spun off the violent operations such as Al Qaeda. Hezbollab performs all inclusive functions for Shiite Islam. Islam uses a full spectrum of approaches from a smile and a nod to cutting any and all parts of ones body away. It is all inclusive in Islam. The Koran is only 14% of the written Islamic doctrine, 86% is where detailed “wet” operations, slavery are further detailed.

Gingrich, scholar that he is, should not fall for mythological, delusional Western definitions of what Islam is and how it is divided. Islam already does that and sticks to it all. Period. Take Islam at its written word. They do.

HE IS PART OF IT

Absolutely.

FYI, while driving into work yesterday, a man currently serving in our military called in and stated just months ago, he was stationed at the embassy (in Libya?? maybe Tunis? I can't recall, sorry). He listed off the types of weaponry with which he was armed (as in heavy and lots), and doesn't understand why everyone keeps saying our military was "unarmed".

The host said (paraphrasing), "you served there months ago; these people are so nefarious, Obama could likely have recently issued orders to military now serving at the embassy to be unarmed with the purpose of facilitating such an event we are now witnessing."

The Marine said, 'well, I'm still serving, so I can't say much. But, it wouldn't surprise me if that is the truth."

Their “allah” is really Satan.

I was just telling someone that yesterday. How could I forget? You're right....they are then continuously plotting how to murder the Jews and the Christians especially.

Yes, 0bama is no innocent front. He is evil, cunning and patient, for a little longer.

He is a Judas goat leading the country to the caliphate.

Yes, he's doing exactly that. I hope his torture lasts forever and ever.

Gingrich shows himself to be a mealy-mouthed politician. I am disappointed in him.

Or in his case, just watch what he’s doing. He doesn’t even have to say a word.

The correct headline would have read “Gingrich Doesn’t Realize Radical Obama Is at War With US.”

Good!

It’s important that we make this crystal clear at every opportunity.

It is so easy to prove.

Simply contrast the life and teachings of Jesus with those of the demonic savage Mohammed.

Unarguably true. Deeds are everything.

that's the perfect word for Mohammed, he was a savage; also a murderer, thief, rapist, and adulterer. Most likely also demon-possessed.
