“You’re stupid,” is not something even his most severe critics usually say to President Barack Obama. But on Friday morning I picked up the Wall Street Journal and learned that the president had given a speech about the war on terror saying, “This war, like all wars, must end.”
That story was at the top of the front page. Immediately below was a photograph of flowers being laid at a makeshift memorial near the Woolwich Royal Arsenal where machine gunner Lee Rigby was hacked to death by terrorists.
This war, like all wars, must end when someone wins it. The president—speaking at the National Defense University, of all places—said, “the core of al Qaeda . . . is on the path to defeat.” And so it may be. But meanwhile, the core of al Qaeda, its aims and its beliefs, is also on the path to Boston and London and any number of other places.
On page 7 of Friday’s Journal was the headline, “Suicide Bombings in Niger Linked to Mali Islamist Group.” On page 9 was a report of terrorist Hezbollah militias aiding the terrorist Assad regime in attacking the rebel-held Syrian city of Qusayr where the rebels themselves are allied with yet more Islamic terrorists. And on pages 4 and 8 were more bad tidings from that perpetrator, abettor, and friend of terrorism, Iran. Iranian fundamentalists, in the chokehold they have on the country’s political system, are improving their grip. And, “according to current and former U.S. officials,” Iran has “escalated a campaign of cyberassaults against U.S. corporations. . . . The hackers were able to gain access to control-system software that could allow them to manipulate oil or gas pipelines.”
All that on a slow news day.....

He has NEVER been my president... he may be the president but I know the truth. His swearing in was a lie from the prince of lies.

This war will be with us until islam is no more.

Have to agree with O’Rourke, Obama easily fits the stupid description.
Nuke’ em, take their oil, convert the survivors to Christianity!
He is not clueless, he does destruction deliberately with malice aforethought
I’ve said from day one that either Obama is an amateur that will go down hard or he is the Beast of Revelation and it will take God’s overt involvement to do it.
It is still looking like it is the former. His “win” simply keeps him in the hot seat as his actions bear their fruit. At least, that is the way it is looking so far.
You are a whole lot less critical of that drug-addled communist than I am.

“Obama is clueless, gutless, dishonest, unamerican and a sorry assed excuse as our President.”
“And he was a lousy community organizer before he stole the election.”......
But one has to admit, he is a damn good thief!
I think that this particular war has been going on for over 900 years. I don’t see it ending anytime soon.
In 1944, the “core of Nazi Germany” was on the “path to defeat” as well. I’m sure that the vets of D-Day, the liberation of France, and the Bulge would agree that even though Germany was on the path to defeat, there was still quite a bit of fighting that still needed to be done.
Even if O’s right and Al Qaeda is “on the path to defeat,” there is still quite a bit of fight left in the enemy. Now is not the time to be talking as if the war is already finished. The war is only finished when radical Islam is defeated. Radical Islam will only be defeated when its believers are forced to accept the reality of their defeat. Considering the nature of these people, that may well be never.
The “War” can not be won with petro dollars.
Please don't tell me this was your first clue?
