The war on Terror is a silent war. There aren't large armies moving across battlefields like in wars of years past. Despite this the strategy of war remains the same: destroy the enemy army by either costing them huge losses of man power and equipment or by completely demoralizing them or both.
We're fighting terrorists. Terrorists are people who will only strike when the odds are completely in their favor. That's why they strike civilians hiding amongst non combatants and using the invisibility they're afforded to kill innocent people.
The terrorists know they can't beat us in a stand up fight. They don't have the equipment or the numbers to survive on a battlefield against us. So they're focusing on demoralizing us.
And our media in the West is doing everything in their power to help the enemy by demoralizing the American people.
Two big examples over the past few weeks are Ahmadinejad's visit to Columbia and the attack on Rush Limbaugh for his "phony soldier" comment.
Inviting Iranian Tyrant and terrorist sympathizer Ahmadinejad to speak at Columbia University was truly one of the dumbest things academia has done in recent years. The University thought they were being oh so clever by taking the chance to make fun of dictator to his face.
But in reality all they really did was give him the appearance of legitimacy. The foreign news corp. picked up the story and spun it in the usual fashion - showing pictures of smiling students and reporting on "standing ovations".
Ahmadinejad was applauded when he openly questioned Bush's hand in 9-11. He was applauded when he questioned and cast doubt on whether or not the holocaust happened. He was even applauded when he talked about how there were no gays in Iran. Think about that - the same student body that charged the stage and forced the Minutemen to stop talking because immigration restrictions are "hate speech" and "discriminatory" were entertained by Ahmadinejad.
The second big thing is that the soldier Jesse MacBeth - a man who posted a blog about his role in the US military, where he helped his units in Afghanistan and Iraq massacre women and children only to then hang the bodies from the rafters of Mosques was found guilty of making up stories. In truth, MacBeth served 44 days in boot camp before washing out. He is going to serve 5 months in jail and 3 years of probation.
But his damage is going to ripple for years. His stories were translated in to Arabic where they spread like wildfire. His story is just what al Quada and other Islamofascist groups need to make their case.
The only thing that would dispel these falsehoods is the truth - but the Islamic media isn't going to report the truth. Hell, the American media won't even report the truth. In fact, they're fighting anyone who is trying to get the truth out. Look at how they're treating Rush.
Was Jesse Macbeth condemned on the Senate floor for damaging our war effort? No. Was Columbia threatened with possible legal actions to "balance" the debate? No. Are the motives of either of these two people being questioned at any turn? No.
Instead Congress is mumbling that they might take action against people trying to get the truth about these people out. Liberal Congress people are pushing for the renewal of "the Fairness Doctrine". Of course, it's not an attack on free speech - no. They like to think of it as "balancing" the debate. But don't worry, their left wing friends at Columbia won't have to worry about their speech being "balanced". There will be no Conservative response to Ahmadinejad (that would be "hateful" as if doubting the holocaust is "loving".) There will be no "truth in news" laws requiring that media outlets who once touted MacBeth's falsehoods make just a big a case retracting the stories.
You're right, the problem is people giving us opinions we don't like on AM radio bands.
