Ginning Up Jihad

Nothing could hearten the jihadists of the world more than Barack Hussein Obama's change of course in Afghanistan along with his essential abandonment of Israel as a Jewish state. What better rewards for wanton murder, terror directed against civilians, and attacks by Muslim radicals against the West in general could there be beyond the direction Obama is taking? Putting a foreign ally in an indefensible position is one thing (and bad enough), but leaving the fight unfinished against the Taliban is unforgivable. The United States is negotiating with the group of religious fanatics without which the September 11, 2001 outrage would not have been possible. Who shot John talk of sitting down with the "moderate" Taliban is a joke, like trying to reach accord with "moderate" Nazis during World War II. If an American leader was looking to embolden those who would kill our families, he could not find a formula to match what Obama is concocting now.
