CBS’ Lara Logan Speaks Out, Says Islamists Hate Us Now More Than Ever | TheBlaze.com

Quote:
Logan delivered what the Chicago Sun Times called “a provocative speech” to some 1,100 movers in government, politics, media, and the legal and corporate arenas. She explained that the Taliban, al Qaeda and its proxies haven’t gone away and are in fact re-energized and coming back in force. Logan also informed the crowd that a “lie” is being propagated by the American government. “I chose this subject because, one, I can’t stand, that there is a major lie being propagated…” Logan announced. The lie is that the U.S. military has tamed the Taliban.
“There is this narrative coming out of Washington for the last two years,” Logan began. It is driven in part by “Taliban apologists,“ who claim ”they are just the poor moderate, gentler, kinder Taliban.”
“It’s such nonsense!”
The Sun Times continues:
Logan stepped way out of the “objective,” journalistic role. The audience was riveted as she told of plowing through reams of documents, and interviewing John Allen, the top U.S. commander in Afghanistan; Afghan President Hamid Karzai, and a Taliban commander trained by al-Qaida. The Taliban and al-Qaida are teaming up and recruiting new terrorists to do us deadly harm, she reports. [...] She made a passionate case that our government is downplaying the strength of our enemies in Afghanistan and Pakistan, as a rationale of getting us out of the longest war.
Logan went on to say that people have been duped into believing that the threat of radical Islam is merely a thing of the past, saying:
“You’re not listening to what the people who are fighting you say about this fight. In your arrogance, you think you write the script.”
Be the economy, jobs, and now foreign policy, looks like Barack is untruthful and failing on all fronts.

I would trust Logan far more than our government. She has terrible, first hand experience with the nature of radical Islam. I see it as one more reason to cut off all ties to Islamic countries. Close all embassies, remove all military support and cut off all aid. If people in those countries support the evil that is radical Islam, let them live in it's filth. The main purpose is the subjugation and abuse of women...sucks, but not our problem or responsibility to fix. If they accept a 12th century culture, let them. As long as they don't attack us, leave them alone. If they do, turn the capitol city of the sponsoring country into glass. If they attack us in the name of their sky-daddy, do so with Mecca.

Bring the troops and ambassadors home. There is no one and nothing there worth the loss of more American lives.

In case anyone has forgotten, this is Lara Logan: http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-18560_162-20058368.html

I agree with you, 100%.

The correct word to use would be incompetent.

He's an idiot, he really isn't that smart he's actually on the dull and stupid side of things. Not unlike a street pimp in a red suit with a glib tongue surrounded by equally dull idiots.

Such as Hillary Clinton. Someone want to explain to me what qualified her to be secretary of state?

Apparently you guys forgot who got us into this mess in the first place.

The country simply can't afford to fight every Muslim who wants to live in the 14th century. You can't complain about taxes and government spending in the same breath as saying we should crush all islamic radicals. You "conservatives" can't seem to make up your minds.

Our goal should be to keep them out of Europe and the US, not to fight them in their home countries, which we really have no business being in anyway.

We are withdrawing from Afghanistan and Iraq, as we should be, and no, we didn't win. That's the big boy, adult way to look at what has to happened. You guys can cue up Red Dawn and Rambo and beat your chests about how tough we are. The global police nonsense is not sustainable anymore.

The truth is refreshing.

It is impossible for any Muslim to be an American and they should not be here.

Quote:
How dreadful are the curses which Mohammedanism lays on its votaries! Besides the fanatical frenzy, which is as dangerous in a man as hydrophobia in a dog, there is this fearful fatalistic apathy. The effects are apparent in many countries. Improvident habits, slovenly systems of agriculture, sluggish methods of commerce, and insecurity of property exist wherever the followers of the Prophet rule or live.…A degraded sensualism deprives this life of its grace and refinement; the next of its dignity and sanctity. The fact that in Mohammedan law every woman must belong to some man as his absolute property, either as a child, a wife, or a concubine, must delay the final extinction of slavery until the faith of Islam has ceased to be a great power among men.

Individual Moslems may show splendid qualities … but the influence of the religion paralyses the social development of those who follow it. No stronger retrograde force exists in the world. Far from being moribund, Mohammedanism is a militant and proselytizing faith. It has already spread throughout Central Africa, raising fearless warriors at every step; and were it not that Christianity is sheltered in the strong arms of science, the science against which it had vainly struggled, the civilisation of modern Europe might fall, as fell the civilisation of ancient Rome.

-Winston Churchill
[The River War, first edition, Vol. II, pp. 248-50.]
