President Barack Obama's advisers plan to remove terms such as "Islamic radicalism" from a document outlining national security strategy and will use the new version to emphasize that the U.S. does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terrorism, counter terrorism officials say.
The change would be a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventive war. It currently states, "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."
The officials described the changes on condition of anonymity because the document is still being written and is unlikely to be released for weeks, and the White House would not discuss it. But rewriting the strategy document is the latest example of Obama putting his stamp on U.S. foreign policy, as with his promises to dismantle nuclear weapons and limit the situations in which they can be used.
Having seen Fox and Friends reporting on this with Frank Gaffney giving predictably ill-informed commentary. They continued on the same line of illogical reasoning like Mark Thiessen, that Obama was literally inviting an attack on the US because the word "islamic" isn't used enough.
Conservatives seem to think the only "radicals" ( aside from Obama ) that are hell-bent on doing harm to the country are Islamic. This simply isn't true, and conservative media are actually fueling the fires of home grown terrorists.
obama is just paving the way for maitreya. Don't be fooled by his usage of terminology.
