Obama's Weak 'War' On Terrorism: President Doesn't Understand Or Acknowledge The Nature Of The Radical Islamist Enemy

On the 11th anniversary of Sept. 11, President Obama uttered these words at the Pentagon:

“Most of the Americans we lost that day had never considered the possibility that a small band of terrorists halfway around the world could do us such harm.”

But over a decade later, and on the same day, we were sharply reminded that still, a small band of terrorists halfway around the world are still doing us such harm, and that the threat of radical Islamic jihad is real.

Following the riots at the American embassy in Cairo and at the U.S. Consulate in Libya, where our ambassador to the war-torn country was murdered by what is reported to have been a calculated attack, our administration had a duty to respond. Not only had our flag been desecrated and four of our own been murdered, but it was done on the most symbolic and somber of days.
