“Time to bring back wholesale napalm strikes on these savages.
“

Essentially, just one photograph ended the Vietnam war and led to the eventual takeover of the South by the communists. (The little girl running naked from the napalm attack.) That was in an era before instantaneous worldwide communications and social media. Forget that the North was brutal and regularly did things like chop the arms off people who got vaccinated. None of that made the press. And, even today, social media will restrict the bad things that can be shown or written about Isis. The Left controls Google, Face Book and other outlets. Isis can use them to recruit but it’s pretty difficult to hit back at the evil of Isis using social media.

What the Islamic world needs is another Ataturk. Almost single-handedly he wrestled the Ottoman Empire into the twentieth century. But time, huge amounts of Jihadist money from countries like Saudi Arabia and the burgeoning Left in the West have reversed what Ataturk accomplished. I think there is a potential Ataturk on the horizon. He is Abdel Fattah el-Sisi, president of Egypt.

One telling item is that President Obama hates el-Sisi.
