comMITTed to Romney!

If we had pursued Obama’s advise to treat global Jihad as a law enforcement matter and had issued a subpoena for Osama Bin Laden to give a deposition to a U.S. Court concerning his possible involvement in the the destruction of the World Trade Center towers, I just wonder if we could have heard him laughing at us from atop whatever mountaintop cave he has been hiding in?

Barack Obama’s approach to the war on terror shows “frightening naiveté,” says Mitt Romney.

“Even the peaceniks of the last decade have recognized that the pre-911 thinking of the early 1990s was wrong,” Romney says. “The great majority of those who opposed the conflict in Iraq nevertheless recognize that it is a war against a radical, violent Islam. But Barack is one of the few who has still refused to speak out against radical violent Islam and jihadism.”

To suggest, as Obama has, that the way to deal with terrorists is to prosecute them “bespeaks a remarkable lack of understandingat which we face,” Romney says.

Good news coming out of the Pentagon. Gen. Petraeus is set to become the new head of our
military operations for the Middle East and Central Asia. Congratulations to a very fine commander who has saved American and Iraqi lives by taking the fight to the Jihadiis.

Now let’s go get Muqtada al Sadr!

WASHINGTON — Under a plan announced at the Pentagon on Wednesday, the two commanders most closely associated with President Bush’s current strategy in Iraq would be elevated into new posts with responsibilities extending into the next administration over the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Gen. David H. Petraeus would take charge of all military affairs across the Middle East and Central Asia, and would be succeeded as the senior commander in Iraq by Lt. Gen. Raymond T. Odierno, who returned to Washington in February after serving 15 months as General Petraeus’s deputy.

Asked whether the planned nominations by Mr. Bush were a sign that American policy was to “stay the course” in Iraq, Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates said that the security gains that had been achieved under General Petraeus’s command meant that “staying that course is not a bad idea.”

Romney has said that we must not allow Jihadist to replace all modern Islamic states with a worldwide caliphate. What do you think?Reasons to agree

1. We should not allow people to change borders. Mexico should not take Texas back. America should not take Panama back. Russia should no re-create the Soviet Union. Iraq should not break into 3 different countries. China should not take Taiwan back. India and Pakistan should stop fighting over Kashmir. America should not take over any more territory. Russia should stop trying to claim the North pole. For each of these conflicts, thousands of people would have to die, in order for one side to be completely happy. Countries should stop trying to change their borders, and just deal with the problems they already have. Only countries that have a free press, freedom of speech, and other human rights, should be allowed to take over failed states, and expand their territory. Dictatorial and repressive regimes, that would kill those whom they conquer, or have a history of mistreating their own citizens, should not be allowed to expand. Countries that have a significant amount of political prisoners, who did not advocate violence, should not be allowed to expand. We must not allow violent people who use suicide tactics, like Osama Bin Laden expand his influence in Afghanistan, Africa, Pakistan, or any other country.

 Exit question: What should we do to stop the Jihadist?
