President Barack Obama's absence from the great gathering in Paris of national leaders from other countries, to show their solidarity with France in its opposition to Islamic terrorists, was another sign of the Obama administration's continuing irresolution in the face of terror.
Even the recent courageous message of Egypt's president, Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi, calling on his fellow Muslims around the world to "revolutionize" the interpretation of Islam, to make it more compatible with peaceful relations with other peoples, put no steel in the spine of Barack Obama.
From his earliest days in the White House, our president has downplayed the terrorist threat from Islamic extremists. He declared victory as he pulled American troops out of Iraq, setting the stage for a huge defeat when ISIS moved in to create their own new government, on both Iraqi and Syrian soil — while committing atrocities against men, women and children not seen since the days of the Nazis.
Undaunted, President Obama has since reaffirmed his determination to similarly pull American troops out of Afghanistan, with a similar declaration that they are no longer needed. He proceeds as if he can declare a war over when it suits the political convenience of his administration.
But a war is not over until the enemy stops fighting. The terrorist enemies of Iraq and Afghanistan are enemies of the United States as well. ISIS has left no doubt of that by beheading Americans and spreading the videotapes of these beheadings for the enjoyment of like-minded people in the Middle East and beyond.

His name IS Hussein!
A depressing summary, including some bad stuff I haven’t read before.
Agreed...Dr. Sowell is on the mark in my view and 0bama does not have the interests of our nation in his agenda.
“He is not stupid, nor is there any reason to believe that he is cowardly.”
He’s both.
Obama IS a Muslim. He cannot show disunity with them or risk a Fatwa. Besides. He believes in their mission and goals.
Or when you surrender to the enemy...
” Agreed...Dr. Sowell is on the mark in my view and 0bama does not have the interests of our nation in his agenda.”
His only interest is destroying it, as Sowell well knows.
He wrote extensively on this in one of his books (2010)
