Yes, as an Englishman I am confused as to the stance the Presidential hopefuls might be taking on the Islamist threat to the world. Not only me it would seem. On "Question Time" (BBC TV) last night all the politicians on the panel, and that's Labour, Lib Dem and Conservative, thought Barack Obama was the best thing since sliced bread.
Why don't they know what we know about his dubious connections with the Kenyan opposition, the church, and his very Muslim background? That's because they are either stupid, or not into the blogosphere or they are all part of the media conspiracy - is there one? - to keep quiet.
My theory - knowing nothing about American politics - is that the Republicans would welcome Obama as the Democratic nomination. Once that happens then there will be an explosion of revelations. They are just keeping their powder dry. And then, what with the dirty advertising that happens at these times, then surely, surely he'll be wasted. I hope.
In the meantime the excellent Robert Spencer has released a new vid about what the candidates have said on the Islamic threat to western society. It seems that Mitt Romney is the only one that has a grasp of the problem OR is prepared to speak about it. As for Obama and Clinton - oh just watch the video:

Maybe. But I'm not as hopeful as you are about that.
Don't underestimate the flavor of the month, AOW.
Hillary did.
BTW, w/rgd to the war, Rudy and Mccain are just fine as well.
Huckabee is out of his mind.
