Joe Lieberman on Democrats and Our Enemies

Wednesday, May 21, 2008

At Instapundit:

JOE LIEBERMAN ON DEMOCRATS AND OUR ENEMIES. “How did the party of Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F. Kennedy drift so far from the foreign policy and national security principles and policies that were at the core of its identity and its purpose? … A great Democratic secretary of state, Dean Acheson, once warned ‘no people in history have ever survived, who thought they could protect their freedom by making themselves inoffensive to their enemies.’ This is a lesson that today’s Democratic Party leaders need to relearn.”

Yes indeed.

Strategic Collapse in the War on Terror

Monday, May 5, 2008

Joseph Myers, c/o Instapundit:

Words matter, and in the global war on terror we are losing the battle of words, in a self-inflicted defeat. The consequences could not be more profound.

Recent government policy memoranda, circulating through the national counter-terrorism and diplomatic community, establishes a new “speech code” for the lexicon in the war on terror, as reported by the Associated Press and now available in the public domain .

These new “speech codes” recommended that analysts and policy makers avoid the terms jihad or jihadist or mujhadid or “al-Qaida movement” and replace them with “extremists” and by extension other non-specific terms.

All part and parcel of the anatomy of surrender, I suppose.

[T]here are some lies that lodge so deep in the hopes of man that they can never be killed no matter how many are executed to make the lie true.

Sadly, chillingly spot-on.
