Indeed our president is NOT grasping at straws in terms of our nations future. There is more to politics than power. He is showing us the correct way, and if national politics gets in the way, many will pay, some with their political careers, and too many with their young lives. And we will only have gained an hiatus of one or two years, before our economy tanks ( and that of all Western nations which form our trading partners, Japan, S. Korea, Taiwan, Canada), and before large scale war becomes necessary, making the current one a lark by comparison.
Grasping at straws? No, our president, understanding the history of fascism, knows that we will have to fight Islamofascism sooner or later, and like the good man he is, he has opted for sooner.He is correct in his analysis. The Dems will eventually be faced with having to want a military victory over Islamofascism, and are essentially mistaken to end the current fight so they can establish a Democrat ring in which to continue this lethal boxing match.
Thanks for this positive comment on the President's words and actions this week. I am old enough to remember when a large portion of politically active people in the US tried to force the rest of us to believe that the threat of communist domination of the world was a) just a figment of our imagination, b) not a big deal, or c) so threatening that fighting back was futile.
Many of these same people, or those they have indoctrinated in our universities, are now supporting Islamofascist activity by resisting any attempt of our government to fight back against it. They have many reasons and one of the stupidest is because it is 'not right' that we should be the sole superpower in the world. Although, rooting for the Islamofascists simply because a Republican is in the White House is a pretty stupid idea also.
Well said - thanks for a shot in the arm.
