Good point....if this country realised that this the goal of the terrorists is to either convert us--or destroy us---there would NOT be any of the shilly-shallying about how to deal with these slime.
There would be only calls for their destruction.....
I tack the fault to Bush, not the general. It is difficult for me to believe that Bush expects us to really buy his Islam is a religion of peace. That is pure BS. After the election, Bush is going to hear a lot of things he will not like.
