Can you say radical Islam? Attorney General Eric Holder can not
Mark Steyn wrote an interesting piece at National Review Online about Attorney General Eric Holder’s inability to blame, acknowledge or even say radical Islam, when discussing the would-be Times Square car bomber and other recent terrorist attempts by men who are clearly radical Islamic fanatics.
Appearing before the House Judiciary Committee, Holder was asked by the ranking Republican, Representative Lamar Smith if he saw radical Islam as an influence and/or cause in the actions of the would-be terrorists. Holder would not state the obvious or acknowledge our enemies.
Stephen Dinan wrote an earlier piece at Newsmax.com on Holder’s inability to acknowledge radical Islam in the terrorist cases, and you can watch a video of Holder’s disgraceful testimony.
If Obama does not want to be “fired” in the next presidential election in 2012, he ought to fire Holder now.
