Obama administration says economic freedom will reduce terrorism. The facts say otherwise.

State Department spokesperson Marie Harf is taking some heat over comments made this week to MSNBC’s Chris Matthews about the need for soft power in the fight against terrorism.

“We cannot kill our way out of this war,” she said. “We need in the medium to longer term to go after the root causes that lead people to join these groups, whether it’s a lack of opportunity for jobs….”

Matthews countered that this isn’t a viable strategy since “There’s always going to be poor Muslims, and as long as there are poor Muslims, the trumpet’s blowing and they’ll join,” to which Harf replied that “We can work with countries around the world to help improve their governance. We can help them build their economies so they can have job opportunities for these people.”

Can you spot the terrorists?

"In this room are three terrorists..." claims The History Channel narrator from this documentary showing a room full of young Muslim men studying to be good jihadists in 1999.

My wife and I found this video side-splittingly hilarious. If you know why, then you are one of the few that understand what we're facing.

The numbers behind the Islamofascist terrorist attacks

TheReligionOfPeace.com is a great web site to shed the truth on the Islamofascist War. They are keeping tallies of all Islamofascist terrorist attacks around the world since 9/11. To date, there have been 5774 separate attacks in 54 countries that killed 28,981 and wounded another 56,154. I guarantee that you have never heard of the vast majority of these. After all, they would only make Bush look right and the democrats look very, very wrong.

Still think Bush's "unjust war" in the Middle East is the cause of the modern jihad? Most of those 54 countries have never had a single troop in Iraq or Afghanistan and have not aided the U.S. military's interests in the region.

Canadians and French Show Support for International Terrorists

As the civilized world quietly rejoiced this morning during the burial of Arafat--author of international terrorism, suicide bombings, plane hijackings, the slaughtering of Olympic athletes, and more--the flags of the once-great nations of Canada and France were hoisted high and unmolested in the chaotic scene of thousands of Palestinians at the burial site in Arafat's Ramallah compound in the West Bank. The time has long passed that we can rely on our neighbors and old allies to identify and fight evil. The number of countries on the side of Good is getting smaller by the day. Fence-sitters like France will have the same fate as their non-combative neutralities in WWII: complete domination by the forces of evil, right up until we arrive and save them. Again.
