Why Won’t the Obama Administration Acknowledge We Are at War?
Pajamas Media ^ | November 15 | Lauri Regan

There is not a day that goes by that I do not think about the victims of the attacks on 9/11. The horrific events of that day reinforced something that my mother always said to me: “Life is but a minute.” Since 9/11, when I kiss my children goodbye in the morning, I pray that we will all arrive home safe and sound at the end of the day. I do not live my life in fear of being the victim of a terrorist attack; I live my life aware that there are terrorists in the world that want to kill me merely for living a life of freedom. It is that awareness that keeps me grounded in a reality that all too many Americans seemingly do not understand.

I have written before of friends who could not wait for Bush to leave office in order to regain their civil rights, which they viewed in jeopardy under his administration. That sounds completely ludicrous today in light of the various policies emanating from the Obama White House that will result in true infringements on our freedoms. But what is even more bizarre is that those civil rights and freedoms are being afforded to those very terrorists who participated in the attacks of 9/11 and who wish to destroy those very freedoms.

It is bad enough that my children cannot get an H1N1 vaccine due to production shortages and yet the government ensured that the Gitmo detainees were vaccinated....

Probably for the same reason other presidents didn’t do what we wanted them to do.

Because they are their brothers.

They've already indirectly declared war. Remember when Janet Napolitano announced that conservatives were radicals and were to be treated as terrorists early on in the Obama regime? Has anything really changed since then? I think they've been pretty straight forward with who they are warring on.

Because then they’d have to tell us that they’re on the other side. And, outside of Detroit, DC, New England, and most of California it would hurt their chances for re-election.

We are no longer at war. We lost the war, and a Muslim now sits in the Oval Office.

We should STOP asking these pathetic pleading questions, which imply that we are BESEECHING them to see things differently: we have ALREADY seen, if we’re paying attention, how they see things, and what they think of us and our “concerns”.
They overconfidently crap on us, AND our concerns.
These people are a new breed of upscale Global revolutionaries who will do ANYTHING to perpetuate their
power, including selling us out to the rest of the world,
large parts of which would ‘like nothing better’.
We should instead CUT TO THE FRIGGIN CHASE and start figuring out ways to NEUTRALIZE THEM, MOCK THEM, CHALLENGE THEM, AND STOP ANY FURTHER DAMAGE FROM BEING DONE.
Personally, I WILL NOT take THREE MORE YEARS OF THIS, and TENS OF MILLIONS OF THE AMERICAN PEOPLE ARE COMING TO THE SAME CONCLUSION.

The Obama Administration plainly views al-Qaeda and its partners in Islamic terror as an international law enforcement matter, and no more. They do not believe we are "at war" because (1) they view terrorism as a mere tactic divorced from motivation; (2) they are in some sympathy with the motivations of those who attacked us on September 11, 2001 - detesting their methods but at least tacitly agreeing with their some of their grievances against America - and; (3) they reject the notion that an attack upon the US by a non-state entity may ever be considered an "act of war", especially in the absence of a Congressional declaration to that effect.

The consequence of these policy stances is that the Administration refuses to accept the crucial geopolitical reality of our time. Radical Islamic forces are using state sponsors (such as Iran, Syria and yes, Pakistan); institutions (largely Islamic mosques and schools) and groups (educational/legal defense organizations as well as privately organized cells) to promote a coordinated strategy in opposition to Western culture and values, including the use of violence and terror.

Whether Obama wants to admit it or not, such a strategy has been in place for decades and its elements have grown stronger, not weaker, as he dithers and delays and yearns for the days when he could simply vote "present" and go to lunch.

We’re not at war, we’re failing to succumb to Jihad.

Muslims are at war against us. Muslims plan to kill as many of us as possible. Obama is not at war against his Muslim brothers. Obama will never be at war against his Muslim brothers. Democrats are going to have to protect us from Obama. Democrats can start protecting us just any minute now.
