And if it had showed such doubts and denial, as the Carter administration did, the Republican Party could have been counted on to defend the morality of American power and carry the fight to the enemy. The Republicans would have done so with the conviction that they were expressing the deepest convictions of the American people who elected them to the presidency all but fourteen of those years since the Second World War. The same electorate switched its party vote, however, when it came to protecting the American homeland. Moreover, three of the four Democrats who did make it to the White House — Truman, Kennedy and Johnson — were militant anti-Communists and military hawks who held views indistinguishable from Republicans on national security issues.
Given that the most durable lesson of postwar electoral history was that Democrats win national elections on domestic policy and Republicans win when national security issues are at the center of their campaigns, it seems incomprehensible that the Obama administration has been able to degrade American power virtually without Republican opposition. He did not mention the calls by the Islamist leaders of Egypt and Iran for the destruction of the Jewish state and the completion of the job that Hitler started.

At one time or another, there were a dozen Republican candidates for the nomination that Romney won and they participated in 19 public debates. There were candidates for social conservatism, candidates for fiscal responsibility and job creation, for libertarian principles and moderate values. It was a reasonable, indeed a necessary, request. A second Muslim Brotherhood figure occupying a high place in the Obama Administration was Rashad Hussain, Deputy Associate White House Counsel with responsibilities in the areas of national security and Muslim affairs.
And there were others. In other words, there identifiable Islamists occupying positions of influence in the Obama Administration on matters regarding national security and Muslim affairs. Without bothering to address the facts the Bachmann letter presented, for instance, McCain said: Accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous. Instead of rejecting the use of these slurs to invoke a brutal cloture on a matter of national security, Republican leaders participated in the successful effort to silence them.
Why such a lack of conviction on a matter combining internal security and foreign policy, traditional pillars of Republican strength? Until that moment, the war in Iraq had been supported by both parties and was regarded by both as a strategic necessity in the larger war on terror.
In his time on center stage, Saddam had launched two aggressive wars, had murdered , Iraqis, had used chemical weapons on his own citizens and had put in place an active nuclear weapons program, thwarted only by his defeat in the first Gulf War. As of , his regime had defied 16 UN Security Council resolutions designed to enforce the Gulf War truce and stop Iraq from pursuing its ambition to possess weapons of mass destruction.
In September , the UN Security Council added a new resolution, which gave the regime until December 17 to comply with its terms or face consequences. When Iraq failed to comply, Bush made the only decision compatible with the preservation of international law and the security of the United States by preparing a pre-emptive invasion to remove the regime and the weapons of mass destruction it was reasonably presumed to possess. The Iraqi dictator was provided the option of leaving the country and averting war. He rejected the offer and the United States-led coalition entered the country on March 19, The use of force in Iraq had been authorized by both houses of Congress, including a majority of Democrats in the Senate.
But just three months into the war, they turned against an action that they had authorized, and began a five-year campaign to delegitimize the war, casting America as its villain. It was a fundamental break with the post-World War II bi-partisan foreign policy that had survived even Vietnam and was made even more unpalatable by the fact that the war was one they had authorized and supported.
Left-leaning news media leaked classified national security secrets, destroying three major national security programs designed to protect Americans from terrorist attacks. The goal of these campaigns was to indict America and its leaders as war criminals who posed a threat to the world. This claim was the only way Democrats could explain the otherwise inexplicable and unconscionable fact that they had turned against a war they had supported for domestic political reasons, when an anti-war primary candidate, Howard Dean appeared to be on his way to winning their presidential primary.
The claim that Bush lied was false.
How Obama Betrayed AmericaAnd No One Is Holding Him Accountable Quotes by David Horowitz
When the Democrats authorized and supported the war, they knew everything that Bush knew. The claim that he lied to get their support was itself the biggest lie of the war. They had the option of standing fast, as they had done since the attack on Pearl Harbor. Republicans lost control of the narrative because they never held the Democrats accountable for their betrayal.
It turned a disloyal opposition into a patriotic movement. If the war against a dictator who had launched two wars, defied 17 UN Security Council resolutions, murdered , of his own people, and schemed to kill a U. President was illegitimate and immoral, then American resistance to any outlaw states could be portrayed -- and opposed -- as reckless and unjustifiable aggression.
In failing to fight the political war over Iraq, Republicans lost their legitimacy as the party that had always taken the hard, sometimes unpopular steps to protect national security, as they did in the mids when they held the line against Soviet efforts to support Sandinista subversion and hand El Salvador to a bloody Marxist guerilla war.
When presidential candidate John McCain suggested that maintaining troops in a postwar Iraq was a prudent measure, candidate Obama attacked him as a warmonger. That is why three years later, when Obama surrendered Iraq to Iran no Republican dared accuse him of betraying the Americans who gave their lives to make Iraq independent, even though Iraq as a consequence fell under the sway of Iran and was providing a land conduit for Iranian weapons headed for Syria. How Obama Betrayed America As David Horowitz shows in this no-holds-barred pamphlet, minimizing the Islamist threat to the United States is not an oversight of the Obama administration.
How Obama Betrayed America....And No One Is Holding Him Accountable
The most dangerous Islamist regime, Iran, is being allowed to acquire nuclear weapons while Washington dithers over pointless negotiations and stands by as the mullahs fill the vacuum in Iraq created by the withdrawal of all American forces, against the advice of the Joint Chiefs of Staff. In Afghanistan, supposedly the "good war," victory is not an option; the Taliban licks its chops and waits for American troops to leave in ignominy. Meanwhile, this White House has facilitated the rise of the Muslim Brotherhood throughout the Middle East, helping it come to power in Cairo, bankrolling it and giving it Fs that are likely someday to be used against Israel, and displayed weakness in Syria by ignoring "red lines" it said would never be crossed.
It is a low point for America, as David Horowitz shows, with Republicans, traditionally the party of strong national security, offering only an echo, not a choice in American foreign policy, watching in a state of policy paralysis as Obama appeases our enemies and enables their evil ambitions.
David Horowitz reveals Obama for what he is: He reveals how he got where he is and why we need to do everything in our power to prosecute everyone that had anything to do with putting him there. Obama and his entire entourage are criminals; but so are those who are responsible for his even getting near a government office. Obama messed up our country both at home and in our military actions and inactions.
The Islamo-leftist conspiracy he fronted as America's first UnAmerican president is despicable. How can he ignore the Constitution, the Congress, intimidate the judiciary without any opposition?

He has nearly destroyed our economy, our military, our American way of life. The media were his advocates, not his investigative reporters. They needed to call him on his traitorous irresponsibility, but instead they kept giving him a free pass as if it would show racism to confront him or his foolish, disgraceful, anti-American activities.
Did we really want a leader who used intimidation, threats, and smears against private citizens and who aided Islamist supremacists like the Muslim Brotherhood in their global war of conquest? Barack Obama used IRS audits to punish his political enemies, which is an impeachable offense. Yet we didn't act and the press watchdogs stayed silent. They were more like lapdogs than watchdogs!
Indeed, this dichotomy only makes sense in context of Obama's knowledge of, and affinity for, the theories of radical community-organizer Saul Alinsky. He learned his tactics from them.
How Obama Betrayed America....And No One Is Holding Him Accountable Quotes
Both Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were enamored with Alinsky, both studied him, and both copied him. Horowitz tells us that "Obama has tried to convince the American people that the war against al-Qaeda has been essentially 'won'—by him—and the terrorist threat is subsiding. Iran was fairly democratic before we pulled an ugly coup and installed the Shah because Mossadegh wouldn't let us have their oil nearly for free. If they'd pulled a coup in the U.
And yet it was Dubya that foolishly attacked Iraq, unprovoked, based on lies and propaganda from U. The idiotic idea that if we just kill enough terrorists we will win and can go home is utterly and completely contradicted by the actual facts—the actual statistics of the conflicts: Terrorist attacks are increasing, hate for U. Kill one terrorist and 10 of his angry friends and relatives swear vengeance and fight our military or join ISIS. The definition of insanity is to keep doing the same thing over and over, always hoping for a different result.
Since they can clearly see they're making things worse, it begs the question: America's Quest for Global Dominance. Here's a YouTube video that says it all about Bush and Cheney's warmongering! The people that launched the Iraq War, many of those that fought there, most of the American public, most of the media, and all of the rest of the people and nations in the world see the Iraq War starting in as a grievious error.

It is filled with a weird combination of smart ideas and dumb ideas. Perhaps his transformation from liberal radical to radical righty explains these contradictions. Horowitz actually bought into the poppycock spread by neocon fanatics that the Iraq War was to "protect national security"!
The naivete is incredible. Everyone knew it was for oil and because of greed and empire building. Everyone, that is, but Horowitz. Perhaps he didn't get the memo.
