Gingrich: Obama Doesn’t Realize Radical Islam Is at War With US
Newsmax ^ | 14 Sep 2012 10:04 AM | Newsmax Wires

President Barack Obama is so wedded to his liberal policies that he can’t comprehend the meaning of the attacks against us in Libya and Egypt — radical Islam is at war with us, says former GOP presidential candidate Newt Gingrich.

The president and his Secretary of State Hillary Clinton condemned the “senseless” violence, he notes on Politico.

“This concept of ‘senseless violence’ is at the heart of the left’s refusal to confront the reality of radical Islamists,” the former House speaker says. “These are not acts of senseless violence. These are acts of war. . . . It is tragic that the president is so committed to a leftist world view that he cannot allow himself to face these facts.”

The attacks in Libya and Egypt almost certainly were coordinated, Gingrich writes. Yet, “the left is desperate to deal with each new incident as though it is occurring in isolation. . . . Because of congressionally-imposed limitations and administrative and bureaucratic timidity, the fact is we know remarkably little about our enemies.”

The president is much to blame, Gingrich argues. “The policies of Obama have made our intellectual incoherence and strategic incompetence even worse. It is no accident that the embassy in Cairo issued a groveling statement, apologizing to the haters for having inconvenienced them with American freedom of speech.”

In the end, I do think it has great weight, both for good and bad.

Obama knows it. He just agrees with blacks/Muslims who want to destroy the US. He is a pure crony statist and a racist.

He came out of a womb destined to commit evil. But it’s worse that his parents orchestrated his upbringing for evil, imo.

What 'liberal policies'?! If he's wedded to anything it is his neo-marxist ideology, while we drown in these niceties and euphemisms. Obummer is Marxism 2012, just as Gorbachov was Marxism 1985!

Obama could likely have recently issued orders to military now serving at the embassy to be unarmed with the purpose of facilitating such an event we are now witnessing."

Per other threads recently, the Marines guarding the Embassy were disarmed because the female Ambassador did not like them being armed. It was a local directive, NOT a directive from the WH or State Department.

How I wish he was the one who’d be sitting in the White House in January. I can only imagine what he’d already be planning as a February surprise.

Dang! If it just hadn’t been for that confounded film!

Yeah...there's the ticket. BTW, have you seen the film? I saw a portion of it and you could tell that the 'inflammatory' words were dubbed over what was originally said. I wouldn't be surprised if Obama's personally friends had a hand in the altering the film. The dubbing was so bad, I could have done it myself.

So, there was a change in Ambassadors in recent months? (The guy who called in was specifically referring to the embassy he just had served (within the past few months) where now they are unarmed, but he was when there.

The unarmed Marine guards may have been at the US Embassy in Egypt. It has a female Ambassador.

[It is difficult to keep up with which stories go with which embassies and countries. Another dozen countries are exploding since this morning. We may have only seen the beginning.]

Unfortunately, I was driving in rush hour at the time he called into the show, and I missed exactly which embassy they were talking about at the time. But I found it quite interesting that whichever one it was, he had been stationed there, was heavily armed, but now they are unarmed. Quite a drastic and idiotic change, coming into 9/11 anniversary. That’s the kind of thing that makes one wonder, rightly so, as to whether this was all orchestrated.
