A few days ago, James Foley was beheaded by an ISIS jihadist, apparently British by upbringing and passport, if not in his primary identity. The decapitation of an American by an outfit he'd previously dismissed as the "jayvees" of jihad was sufficiently serious for President Obama to postpone his tee time, although not to any useful effect. Aside from the fake, tinny chumminess (all "Jim" this, "Jim that, just as for Ambassador Stevens it was all "Chris" this, "Chris that") the commander-in-chief reserves for the victims of an enemy he assured us was on the run, Obama's remarks were fatuous even by his own recent standards, and did not long delay his arrival at the links.

Steyn is correct. After almost 1400 years of essentially ignoring the threat of Islam, the West must finally address it head on.
It is, after all, a question of "Them or Us".
Umh...standards? Do teleprompters have standards?
They must, or they wouldn't work at all.
Yup...why I always worry when the POS and his entourage leave the ccountry
13 years???? I remember a lot from my teen years. Beirut, no response, hijackings, the Olympics, etc.
The point is the West has been shying away from dealing with the Islamic threat for more like 13 hundred years.
And the threat has now become existential...
