There is no counterterrorism under Obama

Basically there is no counterterrorism under Obama. There are words, hollow words representing impotency and lack of will or knowledge how to fight and destroy terrorisim.

Right now terrorism and radical Islam are one and the same. To say that terrorists are representing grievances of ceratin people is a smack in the face of truth and reality.A society can be primitive and not swimming in gold but still peaceful.Radical Islam is not speaking for these societies nor killing for them.Just the other day we heard of an Al Kaeda branch in Gaza that decided that Hamas is not Muslim enough meaning not strict enough with the people of Gaza,and decided to go to war on Hamas! Hamas did not hesitate to attack their holy mosque and kill the leader and dozens of his followers.One wants to know who'se grievances either Hamas or Al Kaeda are representing.

It scares me half to death that our president lives in a false reality that he created and that does not jive with the real reality of the world we live in.I understand his Muslim childhood and all that but his aproach to Muslim terror is way too forgiving and very dangerous to the rest of us.

Obama seems to think that as far as Nukes in the hands of terrorists all we need to do is sort of watch...His secretary of state just told Israel in so many words that she will be under the US umbrella once Iran will have nukes and she should not worry.The Israelis do not know if to laugh or to cry over an American president who is not only naive and childish but also has the need to hurt Israel , a country whose wars with terror are long and many times successful.
