Words Count In the War on Terror

By Bradley Blakeman

"More often than not, Americans and the world look to American presidents for their words.

Whether a president’s words bring comfort, understanding, clarity, resolve or commitment, it is all about the words and the delivery of them.

The Obama administration started out on the wrong foot right away when they moved into the White House with regard to the “War on Terror.”

According to then president-elect Obama and his nominee for Secretary of Homeland Security Janet Napolitano, there was no “War on Terror.” In fact they refused to even use the word "terrorism" in their public appearances before and after taking office.

The consequence of this new “policy” by a new American administration to refuse to acknowledge a continuing and dangerous threat to our country and our allies emboldened those who seek to do us harm and troubled our friends."
