“Recent government policy memoranda”, “This policy is a strategic collapse.”
It’s not policy. From the report:
“This memorandum does not state official Department of Homeland Security (DHS) policy nor does it address legal definitions. Rather, it outlines recommendations compiled by the DHS Office for Civil Rights and Civil Liberties (CRCL)....”
Reasons for some of the recommendations do make sense: like not legitimizing alQaeda and/or terrorists. - not that I agree with all the conclusions/rationale in the documents.
The “moderate” Muslims are either afraid to speak out or are complicit. We have to face where we are. The Western World is in a world war with Islam. They are killing people and fomenting trouble around the world. They have infiltrated us here with willing accomplices. They are trying to change our culture, and they are succeeding.
Words won’t do it unless they are formed into concepts. So far the only concept seems to be whack-a-mole.
The first strategic error was failing to establish a formal declaration of war against islamic terror states and those terrorist organizations that are aided by them. The second error was then defining this war as a war against a technique and not personifying it as a war against Iraq, Iran, al Qaeda, the Taliban etc...
So now, we fight a war of politically correct semantics while our islamic enemies fight their war in full with no feel good filters to tie them down.
Just kill the terrorist SOBs. That way no one’s feelings get hurt.
The curent administration has been oblivious to this side of the islamic offensive here at home. The greatest threat posed by jihad is that the West including the US will fall without a shot fired, from within. So far the islamics have been winning battles consistently on our own soil. And idiots like Bush go about bragging that no attack has occurred since 9/11.
Sort of like Carter yammering about how he and Leonid Breshnev "shared the same goals for the world" while another country fell to soviet tyranny every four months during his misbegotten regime.
