We're at war. And most of have had it with the Religion Of Peace blather. Its time to win. Mark Steyn would add, its time to up the rhetoric to one appropriate to the challenge that we face. Let's not pussyfoot around Islam. Since a lot of their number is committed to jihad against the West, its high time to invoke the letter V in the Free World again.. V For Victory Over Islamofascism.

Three cheers for Down Under that's more than an 80 perecent ally. This is my favorite quote:

It's a good thing being an Aussie Cabinet minister doesn't require confirmation by John Kerry and Joe Biden."

Steyn rocks!!!

That statement by Alexander Downer says it all -- "Multilateralism is a synonym for an ineffective and unfocused policy involving internationalism of the lowest common denominator."

What proportion of Western Muslims is hot for jihad? Five percent? Ten, 12 percent?

Her is the answer to that question:

Downerspeak for a Kerry-designed ass-wiping do-nothing policy.

If this is a "long war," it needs a rhetoric that can go the distance. And the present line fails that test.

The line here is "respect." Everybody's busy professing their "respect": We all "respect" Islam; presidents and prime ministers and foreign ministers, lapsing so routinely into the deep-respect-for-the-religion-of-peace routine they forget that cumulatively it begins to sound less like "Let's roll!" and too often like "Let's roll over!"
Jack Straw, the British foreign secretary, gave a typical Western government official's speech the other day explaining that "a large number of Muslims in this country were -- understandably -- upset by those cartoons being reprinted across Europe and at their deeply held beliefs being insulted. They expressed their hurt and outrage but did so in a way which epitomized the learned, peaceful religion of Islam."

I'm reminded of this old saw:
"Diplomacy is the art of saying 'Nice doggie' while trying to find a large rock."

Unfortunately, I'm not sure that our pols are bothering to look.

Probably because it wasn't needlessly excerpted.

From now on let's start by calling it ROJ (religion of Jihad) instead.
