Obama and National Security

Blog Entry that is right on the money. 

Obama strikes "Islamic extremism" and "jihad" from National Security strategy documents

No word yet if he's replacing those terms with references to Christian militias:

President Barack Obama's advisers will remove religious terms such as "Islamic extremism" from the central document outlining the U.S. national security strategy and will use the rewritten document to emphasize that the United States does not view Muslim nations through the lens of terror, counterterrorism officials said.

The change is a significant shift in the National Security Strategy, a document that previously outlined the Bush Doctrine of preventative war and currently states: "The struggle against militant Islamic radicalism is the great ideological conflict of the early years of the 21st century."

The officials described the changes on condition of anonymity because the document still was being written, and the White House would not discuss it. But rewriting the strategy document will be the latest example of Obama putting his stamp on U.S. foreign policy, like his promises to dismantle nuclear weapons and limit the situations in which they can be used.

At what point, and I'm serious as I've ever been in asking, at what point will we see that the internal threats to our National Security are exceeding our external threats as to the degree of risk to the country?

Anyone?
