Our President said in his acceptance speech that America will never run from terrorism.

In fact, he (for the first time to my knowledge) has actually said that Islamic terrorists want to destroy America and we will not let them.

Did anyone else hear the President mention the words Islamic terrorists in the same sentence?

If I heard him correctly, this is a major, major shift in identifying WHO the enemy actually is and WHAT the enemy really wants to do to us.

Ping.

hehe .. the balloons are actually ALL coming down and there is noone in the background sreaming What the f***!

The word "islam" (or any derivative of that root) does not appear in the speech.

I'll have to check the transcript. If so, he is honoring the 9-11 commission report - and, I agree, it could be the first time he's used that phrase.

Good for him, if so...
