Donald Rumsfeld: Americans Are Too Politically Correct When Discussing Radical Islam

video
» 104 comments

Speaking last night on CNN’s Fareed Zakaria‘s GPS, former Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld expressed regret for the caution the Bush Administration used when discussing radical Islam, and worry for the Obama Administration which has been “much worse” — “they won’t even use the word,” he says. “Tongue tied” by political correctness and principles of religious freedom, he is concerned that proper threat has not been conveyed, and that it’s therefore been difficult to defeat “the enemy.”

“I think we’ve done a not very good job,” he admitted. “We were careful and words were always sensitive and we never — you can’t win a battle of ideas, a competition of ideas, unless you describe an enemy, say who it is, say what’s wrong with it. Say what we do and why that’s what’s right.” This is, he believes, how Communism was defeated during the Cold War. He with the most colorful language gets the terrorist.

    I have long said PC, changing the meaning of words and avoiding to speak the truth is destroying this once great country.

    It’s sad when a Presidential candidate gets riled for speaking the truth about SS being a ponzi scheme.

    And heavens for bid someone speak out against this Presidents policies, you will be labeled a racist!!

    And Obama?

    Close Gitmo? End rendition? End warrantless wiretaps? End the Patriot Act? Unemployment not to exceed 8%? Provide a missile shield to the Czech Republic and Poland? Transparency? Health Care debate will be carried on C-Span? His mother was denied Health Care coverage? Shovel ready jobs? No lobbyists in his administration? Americans want higher taxes? Pledge to cut the deficit in half during his 1st term? USA involvement in Libya will be in days not weeks?  Pledge not to rest until the BP leak stopped?  ObamaCare Fee is not a new tax?  His pledge to “immediately” implement “Pay-As-You-Go.” No Earmarks in the $787 Billion Stimulus? 2010:Obama vows to cut huge deficit in half in first term? Obama promises a comprehensive immigration bill in his 1st year

    Obama should be impeached!

    BTW, the overthrow of Hussein did take less than 6 weeks.

    This from a man who violated common human decency for if not encouraging, then at least , permitting soldiers to abuse prisoners in Abu Ghraib.  I think the commanders who gave the orders should’ve been most severfely penalized.  Not that the underlings who did the abuse should of gotten off.   Rumsfeld to me is a disgusting hypocrite.  The orders to what how the officials behaved was because of Rumsfeld.  The former secretary of defense  under G.W. Bush knew exactly what was going on in the notorious Iraq prison and did absolutely nothing to stop it.  Or for that matter to prevent it.

    “We no longer need to kill Bin Laden, claims Barack Obama”
     
    By Daily Mail Reporter
    Last updated at 9:34 AM on 15th January 2009
     
    Barack Obama has claimed it is no longer necessary to kill Osama Bin Laden to win the war against al-Qaeda.
     
    In an unprecedented departure from the current wanted ‘dead or alive policy,’ the U.S. President-Elect said that simply keeping bin Laden holed up in a cave was enough to keep America safe.
     
    ‘My preference obviously would be to capture or kill him,’ he said.
     
    ‘But if we have so tightened his noose that he’s in a cave somewhere and can’t even communicate with his operatives then we will meet our goal of protecting America”.

    The Jewish schools that teach them to hate are in the settlements.

    The Jewish leaders calling for the end of Islam are in the Knesset.

    Israel doesn’t dirty its hands blowing up people with suicide bombs it uses 1000 lb bombs, cluster-bombs (UN has a ban on these), and the use of White Phosphorus bombs on a school (also, completely illegal).

    In 2003 during the run-up and the Gaza War, 14 Israelis killed by Palestinians; 1,400 Palestinians killed by Israelis.

    One hundred to one…these are the actions of a radical, racist, apartheid state.

  • Anonymous

    Referring to the problem as ‘radical Islam’ is disingenuous to the full reality of worldly affairs, and hardly addresses the real issues and ramifications at hand. Like people whining about political correctness say, we have to identify the problem. Problem is that marginalizing as such doesn’t do that, and only hinders our ability to face threats, and deal with problems on the world stage. If you can’t understand the complexities of the real world and all the factors involved, then just call it ‘big bad evil Mooslim people’. And please do not get into world affairs since you are only hindering progress, and overtly simplifying  issues facing the world.

    It is called “Collateral damage!”  

    When nation’s such as Israel and America are defending themselves against a pathological, religio-Ideaologic enemy, such as Islam, “collateral damage may result, but, is not intentional.  However,  An enemy, Islam, so unscrupulous, even cavalier about “collateral damage,” thus sending their adherent’s to a malcontent after-life. (paradise)  Ergo, only the weak portend to demonstrate compassion, rather than fight and eliminate that enemy.  

    Machiavelli asked “is it better to feared, or loved?”  At this time, for both Israel and America, need to feared, as we are perceived as weak by Leftist cowards who have been teaching our children to be lenient and compassionate rather than strong and forceful.

    Wars of survival for your klan, your tribe, tend to messy.  

    Or are you the enemy, DUKE?

    “Bigot”–A superstitious religious hypocrite.

    The implication being that I have unsubstantiated opinions?  On the contrary, my attitude about Islam is hardly, “superstitious.”  Furthermore, being an agnostic, hypocrisy, hence, is a bit difficult for me to exhibit or you to prove?  LOL

    I despise Islam because of the way the culture treats women…etc.  Need I say more?  I could go on…

    John 8:7  ”Let he who is without sin, cast the first stone…”

    I’d say some passages from the Bible would make a fine “quote for the day?”

    YOU clearly are a better bet to end up in prison than that hero, Rumsfeld.

    Actually, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, our military victories did not take any longer than what Rumsfeld predicted.  Our failure was to slack off AFTER victory.

    And since when does a quote like that you put out here deserve prison time?  If that’s the criteria, you should e tried for TREASON.

    Yet you enjoy the safety and benefits of those dastardly wire taps since you live here in America, where we have been protected by those very acts you deplore.

    How can you take seriously those who lie to you every day and pretend that what’s truth is not? Don’t let the PC crowd get in the way of plain speaking.  And if anyone calls you a racist, just laugh in their face because that’s such a trite and overused word, it no longer packs a punch.

    Why don’t you watch one of the Republican Debates where you’ll always hear the truth?

    Yea Darla-dumb, that’s it, misdirection, that’s the name of the game, isn’t it! No room here for the discussion of the facts. Lets keep talking about as much esoteric-BS as possible and let those sleeping-dogs (facts) lie. Maybe we could talk about Mrs.O’s dress, or nail polish?! You know, things Liberals can really grasp!

    No reply button on your previous comment…so we’ll continue here.

    Israel operates the world’s largest open air prison, and the only crime of the inmates is the race and religion and region they were born in.

    Defend it all you want, Israel is losing and they are the enemy here.  Israel should exist, they deserve safety, but the way they have gone about it is disgusting.

    Bigot: a person who is utterly intolerant of any differing creed, belief, or opinion.

    You clearly state your HATRED of an entire religion based on their religious book.

    I have a question, can I buy your daughter?  It’s condoned by the bible so it must be okay.  How much?

    Try this:  Scroll up, to the very first comment, on the right, where it the  ”Comments” begin  Then look across the top, just above the first Comment, you will se a small rectangular box that says “Disqus.”  Click on that and it will offer you “Dashboard,” then click on that.

    Find the Conversation ,usually you can continue the conversation through such without running out of room…  (hope this helps)

    Anyway, I asked you earlier, what you find so endearing about a culture, (Islam) that is as entrenched in a religious dogma as Islam?  (Note: any culture that treats its women the way Islam does, merits no quarter? Much less using women as human shields, honor killings, etc.)  DO NOT, use the excuse that Judeo-Christianity exhibited such in the past, as we are dealing in the present!

    Islam is 600 years younger than Christianity, yet Islam has not, nor has begun to emancipate itself from the nightmare of a totalitarian Theocracy and attendant strictures?

    Furthermore, I don’t know enough about your assertion regarding Israeli POW camps, however, your mentioning such is merely anecdotal, thus a weak argument at best.  The core, philosophical question is, which culture would you prefer to control the world?  Islam or an Israeli Republic?

    Look at American Muslims, look at Turkish Muslims, look at European Muslims, women in Islam aren’t treated any worse than women in Christianity, but if you take lines from the Koran and use those to illustrate Islam anyone can do the same for Christianity or Judaism.

    You’re talking about 3rd World Nations. Africa is predominately Christian and Muslim, yet they have some of the most brutal wars on the planet. I would not say Christianity is a brutal religion as a result of the actions of poor people driven to the very edges of humanity. It’s not fair. It’s not Christian to do so.

    Also, thank you for the heads-up on the Dashboard.

    Don’t talk so loose, you only diminish your presumed intellect.  ”Bigotry,” “racism,” “discrimination” are all, definitionally, similar as they carry with them a large degree of the ‘arbitrary,’ ‘irrational,’ and ‘capricious.’  

    Meaning the “bigotry” you assign, is simply conjured up in the mind of the offender, (YOU) hence lacks substance.

    Ergo, There is nothing “bigoted” about my argument.  Since 1948, the Arab/Muslims have deliberately been killing and maiming Israelis, etc.  Hence, the Israeli’s have been responding, not because of an arbitrary dislike of Muslims, on the contrary, the Jews have come to know Islam as the collection of psychopathic killers, by way of their actions and Theology.

    Case in point:  If the Muslims to stopped killing Jews, the Jews could/would live in peace.  Can you honestly say the converse would be true?  I can easily make the case that Muslims enjoy living in their self contained misery.  

    I do so enjoy these little chats, don’t you?  LOL

    I enjoy substantive dialogue such as this, rather than the usual one liners, meaning, I am enjoying this.  Respectfully, I find your perception of Islam’s treatment of women, confusing.  I agree the treatment varies across Islam, from Malaysian to Afghanistan ending in Morocco, there are differences, not much though… Ouch!  

    BUT, mostly men and women are segregated, women can’t drive a car in Saudi Arabia and we are starting to have “honor killings here, in America!” etc.  As for Europe, the Muslims have formed “ghettos” where the inhabitants, (MEN) are demanding the application of Sharia Law and to be Nations within Nations, so to speak.

    I mentioned the 600 year age difference between Islam and Christianity, and I must concede that Christianity has a lot to answer for. (The conquest of the Americas, by Europeans!)  However, that may be the problem: Two huge cultures are attempting to co-habit a portion of the planet, one exists in modernity, the other, back in the 1400s?

    DUKE, I’ve read your posts over the past few months and you are not afraid to state you opinion.  But, I am curious, I just can’t figure where your (and other’s) attitude regarding Islam and Israel, come from?  I study Military History and am so impressed with Israel’s fortitude.  Were you and I to magically land in Israel, we would be just fine, culturally, as that Nation is little different than ours… On the other hand… LOL

    On other subject(s)

    What do you think about “Operation Fast and Furious?”  Also, the raid of the Gibson Guitar Company, by the Feds?  Lastly, The Solar Company in California that took 500 Billion in stimulus money, then declared Bankruptcy?

    Nice chat, Purveyor
