Pretty Much The Same
What are the Islamic radicals/Islamofascists comparable to? Well, it once was Nazism, but now it’s just about any other enemy we’ve ever fought against…and won.
President Bush, likening the war against Islamic radicals to the Cold War threat of communism, told U.S. Military Academy graduates on Saturday that America's safety depends on an aggressive push for democracy, especially in theMiddle East.
That’s what I’m talkin’ bout, Willis. The bad guys are bad guys, no matter which way you take it. The difference here is that whereas the Cold War ended with a falling wall and Gorbachev buddying up with Reagan, do you think that the same will come of a civilization that just wants us dead because they can kill us? Heck no.
The president took a subtle jab at Syria and the nuclear ambitions of Iran. He chided previous U.S. administrations, saying that decades of excusing and accommodating the lack of freedom in the Middle East did nothing to make America safer.
``This is only the beginning'' Bush said. ``The message has spread from Damascus to Tehran that the futurthe academy after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.
Bush recounted his strategy for fighting terrorism, saying that the U.S. continues to view anyone who harbors a terrorist equally guilty of being a terrorist. He received loud applause, muffled only by the cadets' white gloves, when he told of his doctrine of pre-emptive strikes, attacking enemies abroad beforethey can attack U.S. soil.
The greatest danger America faces is the threat from terrorists armed with weapons of mass destruction, Bush said. ``If our enemies succeed in acquiring such weapons, they will not hesitate to use them, which means they would pose a threat to America as great as the Soviet Union'' he said. ``Against such an enemy, there is only one effective response: We will never back down, we will never give in, and we will never accept anything less than complete victory''
THANK you, Mr. President. I couldn’t agree more. By the way, I know this is from KCBS.com, but I can’t find a link. Lucky me.
