Tawfik Hamid, onetime protégé of Ayman Zawahiri, writes the following:
The real way to strengthen moderate Muslims in their fight against the radicals is to spotlight radical teachings and flush out those who believe in them. ....This is especially true in war: define your enemy correctly, and you will rally legitimate allies to your side. Blur what a battle is about and, stuck in the muddle, you are bound to lose.... Calling angina a "common cold" does not change its nature. It only prevents us from taking the necessary steps in treating it, which will only lead to further sickness, and possibly death. Playing word games with jihadists is not only meaningless, but plays right into the hands of the radical Muslim terrorists-who, to be defeated, must first be called by their true name....
We live in a world that is so concerned with political correctness that we refuse to Identify the evil around us. Last year the Bush administration eliminated words such as Islamist, and Jihad out of the national security jargon. President Obama is no compounding that mistake, by abandoning the term "enemy combatant" and all that goes with it

What does the “One” want us to call them?
My Muslim Brothers?
If the war is over ..... can we now tell Queen Pelosi that the ONLY reason the Speaker of the House had a private plane - for security reasons, was because of the threats.
Now that the threat is over (or since the Democrats never acknowledege that there was a threat) ....it is time to tell Queen Pelosi to go back to flying commercial, and she is no longer entitled to a military plane ...or even a government chartered plane.
Besides - she wants to reduce the Carbon footprint of Congress. Tell her she must do as the peons do ...fly commercial. Sacrifices must be made, and she too can do her part!!
What’s the matter with you? Don’t you realize it’s impolite to call fascist murdering rat bastards anything that might hurt their feelings?
Better that millions of Americans or Jews perish than that one single terrorist has his feelings hurt, I’ve always said.
The real key to fighting this war is to bare our throats to our peace-loving Muslim friends and ask them please not to saw our heads off (not that we’d ever accuse them of anything if they DID saw our heads off, because as we all know we plainly deserve it for not submitting to Islam).
That’s why Obama is the man to lead us: no one can bear the throat of an entire country like Barry Hussein can.
P.S. Having your head sawed off by terrorist clearly counts as “change.”
I think it was Newsweek at the Supermarket that had a cover with a whole bunch of arabic gobbly-gook on the stand tonight. At the bottom it had in English something like:
Radical Islam is here to stay,
learn to live with it.
Are these frikin’ joke headlines!!!!????
“We are all Socialists Now”, etc.
Cool. Now, saying the phrase “enemy combatant” will have the added fun of going against Zer0.
If I were President (and after Obama I figure, “I could do a DAMN site better than him, so why not?”), this would be my Middle East policy:
1) If you screw with Israel, you screw with us. And you do NOT want to screw with us, so don’t screw with Israel.
2) If we believe you are a threat to us - and don’t immediately and unconditionally open yourselves to inspection, we will bomb your country into the stone age.
3) We will not rebuild your country after we bomb you into the stone age. Why the hell should we?
4) If, after bombing your country into rubble, terrorists present a threat to us from your country, we will bomb your rubble into smaller rubble.
When we defeated Nazi Germany and Imperial Japan, the people were totally defeated, and willing to completely abandon their previous ways. Not so Muslim countries. We could kill dang near every one of them, and the few survivors would still be threatening us with terrorism.
So we can’t employ the “rebuild our enemies and turn them into our friends” tactic that worked earlier. Bomb them, leave them in rubble, and be ready to come back and bomb them again. And again.
At some point they will either utterly abandon terrorism, or they will all be dead. Either way, that appears to be the only way we truly win.
