President Obama's Jaw-Dropping Speech - "Not at war with Islam"

Every basic trainee in the US Army is taught the fundamentals of who we work for according to the US Constitution, who we take orders from in the Chain of Command, and most importantly Enemy Identification. You can't fight the enemy, if you cannot identify who the enemy is. "The United States is not at war with Islam" ~ President Obama 2013.


 Mr. President, the United States is at war with anyone who wages war on the American people. When US Army Major Hassan Nidal killed and wounded 43 American soldiers, it was not only an act of treachery, defined as terrorism because it was politically motivated, but also an act of war, since it was on behalf of a foreign enemy.


 The President says it was an incident of work place violence. He refused to identify who the enemy was after the attack, because he shielded who the enemy is before the attack.


 The same President is sending arms and money to an enemy of the U.S. identified as Alqaeda, by any other name to their head chopping, heart eating, child raping, murderous ranting, darlings, the media continues to innocuously identify as 'rebels' in Syria.


 Now, the recent atrocity that occurred in London with the murder of a young British soldier, run down in the street collecting donations for wounded British soldiers families, who was then eviscerated in public view, while on-lookers watched and did nothing. The President characterized this barbarous act as "senseless violence." The perpetrator was recorded on camera stating it was an act of war and clearly identified for our befuddled President who the enemy is, before and after, by citing the phrase; "Allahu Al Akbar." [meaning Our God is greatest, or greater than your God]


 Benghazi remains the clearest and another egregious dereliction of duty by a Commander of the highest degree. He lied about who did it. He punished people who had nothing to do it with it, from You-tube posters to Commanders and Whistle-blowers. Most unforgivable of all, the disgrace and dishonor of leaving behind our fighters, calling and expecting help to arrive, if not to rescue them, at least avenge them.


 So, when the Commander In Chief demonstrates he is obstinate about turning a blind eye to the enemies of the people he swore to protect, it encapsulates his statement published in his book; "if the political winds should shift in an ugly direction, I will stand with the Muslims." This is discomfiting to the soldiers who call him Commander in Chief who are ordered into the field to face this deadly enemy.


 It is gut-wrenching hypocrisy to embrace the spouse who lost a husband in battle, who followed the President's rules of engagement policy designed not to offend Muslims but puts a soldier into added risk.


 In Obama's Cairo Speech, he pointed to his childhood home of Indonesia, the most populated Muslim County in the world as a model for Islam. He must have not read the UN Report of human rights in Indonesia that persecutes a sect of Muslims and Christians, by wanton acts of violence that go ignored.


 In Egypt, the violence against Coptic Christians by Muslims are on a rise in their savagery. Yet, the President's foreign policy circles back to arming and funding extremist elements of Alqaeda in Libya, Syria, Egypt, and empty lip service to Iran's nuclear weapons program.


 Yes, Mr. President the United States is not at war with Islam.  Clearly, Islam is at war with itself, but you may be surprised to learn, there are elements of Islam that is certainly at war with us, and those elements are the happiest among all Muslims, that find you are a Commander In Chief who do not see them as the enemy.


 This was a jaw dropping speech made by President Obama for those with an ear for comprehending just what he meant.
