There are several lessons that the U.S. government and public should learn from the foiled plot by four radical Muslims, disclosed today, to bomb synagogues in New York and shoot down a military plane using a Stinger missile. For President Obama, the "enemy" can no longer be limited to just Al Qaeda, as he has insisted in pre- and post- campaign interviews. When asked who the enemy is, he reflexively says "Al Qaeda." He has categorically refused to use the term "radical Islam" or "Islamic extremism."
"Those terms are offensive to my Muslim faith."
Yep, now we have to be liberal. Being liberal means using politically correct terminology so we don’t offend Bin Laden and Al Qaeda.
