"If President Bush said "if it’s about Christianity versus Islam, we’ll lose", he is probably not up to the challenge"
Correct, since that is precisely and exectly the basis of the enemy's animus toward the West. Not "issues", not "policies", but religion. Pure and simple. They wat to destroy us so that they can be dominant and in accord with the teachings of Islam.
I have difficulty believing the alleged statement regarding the relative positions of the USA and the Muslims.
How anyone can say we are less able to defeat the Muslims than was Spain when they defeated the Muslims, who had occupied and controlled Spain for centuries, is beyond my comprehension.
