Sorry, but the facts do not support this. The vast majority of our troops deployed around the world in the WOT, are in Isldamic conutries fighting directly against Islamic terrorists/jihadists...and we are killing them by the tens of thousands.
While I believe Bush should allow the fighting in specific instances to be conducted much more agressively, pacifying with extreme prejudice any enemy enclave, the basic strategy which has freed 50-60 million people, created fly-traps for the Jihadists to come and die at the hands of our troops, and which has complete incircled Iran, has been spot on.
Now...I heartily disagree with a number of other actions by Bush (ie. Immigration, CFR, medical presicriptions and other socialistic, big spending and global initiaitves). Having said that, the alternatives on every count, were and are far, far worse.
BUt that is only half the job , If we insist nothing is wrong with Islam and reiterate "Islam is a noble religion of peace hijacked by terrorist" We never make a case to abandoning Islam as a way of life.
Well said.
