That denial, that gut refusal to come to terms with the truth that America is engaged in a worldwide struggle against the Islamic jihad, is almost as dangerous as the terrorism itself.

One individual who has adopted a blase’ demeanor toward the all-important issue is our terrorism-averse president who also happens to be the Commander-in-Chief of our armed forces, our chief line of defense from enemy attack.
