WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's advisers plan to remove terms such as "Islamic radicalism" from a document outlining national security strategy and will use the new version to emphasize that the U.S. does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terrorism, counterterrorism officials say.

The change would be a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventive war. It currently states, "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."

Yes, the whole point of this redefinition is to define those who oppose the fascists as the enemy,

and not those who are enemies of this Western Civilization based on Christian values.

While “Christian Militia Groups” remains on the list?

Obama's speechwriters have taken inspiration from an unlikely source: former President Ronald Reagan. Visiting communist China in 1984, Reagan spoke at Fudan University in Shanghai about education, space exploration and scientific research. He discussed freedom and liberty. He never mentioned communism or democracy.


unfreaking-beleivable. Pres. Reagan never used the words, but he explained it to them

snippets of Pres. Reagan's speech


We believe in the dignity of each man, woman, and child. Our entire system is founded on an appreciation of the special genius of each individual, and of his special right to make his own decisions and lead his own life.

We believe -- and we believe it so deeply that Americans know these words by heart -- we believe "that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among those are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." ... They are from the document by which we created our nation, the Declaration of Independence.

We elect our government by the vote of the people. That is how we choose our Congress and our President. We say of our country, "Here the People Rule," and it is so.

There is one other part of our national character I wish to speak of. Religion and faith are very important to us. We're a nation of many religions. But most Americans derive their religious belief from the Bible of Moses, who delivered a people from slavery; the Bible of Jesus Christ, who told us to love thy neighbor as thyself, to do unto your neighbor as you would have him do unto you.

And this, too, has formed us. It's why we wish well for others. It's why it grieves us when we hear of people who cannot live up to their full potential and who cannot live in peace.

Manchurian Candidate. Incredible how easy it was to dupe the American people into voting for this guy.

If Bibi Netanyahu needed any more evidence that Obama isn't going to do jack about Ahmadinejad, this should just about put the icing on the cake.

The Israeli security establishment is going to have a good laugh about this announcement. And then get back to work figuring how to destroy Iran's nuclear sites on their own, completely unannounced to the US.

Were that my brother I would have punched him in the mouth and then disown him.

Maybe when Obama’s done manchurian-candidating the presidency, he’ll go to work for CAIR (Council on American-Islamic Relations).
