The former director of the Defense Intelligence Agency says the United States must get serious about defeating radical Islam, and hes laying out a plan to do it a plan he says is dependent upon GOP nominee Donald Trump winning the White House in November.
Retired U.S. Army Lt. Gen. Michael T. Flynn is a frequent cable news contributor, and he spoke on behalf of Trump last month at the Republican National Convention. He is also author of The Field of Fight: How We Can Win the Global War on Radical Islam and Its Allies.
In his book, Flynn said its long past time for the U.S. to stop participating in the war against radical Islam and start winning it. He believes America is just spinning its wheels while ISIS and other enemies pursue an announced, strategic campaign against the West.
We totally have lacked imagination, and weve forgotten how to win, actually, Flynn told WND and Radio America. And we have to stop being politically correct about this enemy. We have to clearly define it.
He said thats something President Obama and subordinates like Hillary Clinton refuse to do.
Number one is to clearly define the enemy, and thats something our current government and current president do not allow us to do, Flynn said.
But what needs to be done to define radical Islamic enemies that has not already been done?
We have to discredit this ideology, this radical Islamist ideology, for what it is, Flynn explained. We have to call it what it is, and we have to begin to come up with a very imaginative, very creative information campaign to discredit it.

Good for Flynn. Makes me glad that he and Trump have bonded and at least better understand the veep flirtation.
Winning offends people. It's now the land of the twee and the home of the knave.
I just say this - your reading skills leave alot to be desired
Isn’t Trump giving a policy speech on Radical Islam tomorrow?
You need to keep up. There is no such thing as radical islam. It’s just Islam. Trump is obviously an idiot too. Just ask IQ 160+ PIF here. /s
Depends on who has the best trained military and the most lethal weaponry does it not?
We don’t do genocide or even contemplate it.
This man is the problem, not the solution.
33 years in American “intelligence” and 15 years after 9/11, he says this: “The United States must get serious about defeating radical Islam.”
Thanks, I’ll make a note.
As others already pointed out, there is no such thing as “radical Islam.” That’s a lexical trick, but an immensely powerful one, specifically chosen to *prevent* fighting Islam... simultaneously he says: “Number one is to clearly define the enemy.” He is a master propagandist unencumbered by Truth, which is why he spent a very successful lifetime in “Intelligence” work.
This is nothing more than pimping the “Radical Islam” theory (which is to do absolutely nothing) and has brought us to where we are today.
The book is written at a third or fourth grade level and reads like The Hardy Boys. Major portions are available on Amazon as a preview.
Don’t you have a batch of shine to tend to or somnething more in keeping with your intellectual and social skills. :-)
You quite apparently missed the sarcasm tag.
