		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It&#039;s time to blame Mohammad ... if he hadn&#039;t exemplified barbarity they wouldn&#039;t be radicalized.&quot; 

I agree.

I am not sure that there would be as many problems in North Africa if Kaddafi had not been dethroned by Obama. More of the radicals would have been hiding out, in prison or dead.  There would be a smaller jihad contribution by Libya. It would be harder to travel through Libya to make trouble in Mali, Algeria, Nigeria and points farther afield.

The crisis in Mali is a direct result of Obama&#039;s killing of Kaddafi.

Libya might have still blown up, but it might have been better if it blew up 5 or 10 years later so that we did not have intertwined with the problem of ISIS

		<description><![CDATA[&quot;It has widely been acknowledged that the emergence of ISIS as a growing and influential force in the Muslim world is largely due to Obama’s failed policies in the region.&quot;

Who acknowledged this?  Where is the list of people?

I agree that Obama contributed greatly. He should never have taken out Kaddafi.
Who would have thought that Kaddafi was smarter than Obama? 

Kaddafi said something to the effect &quot;You don&#039;t know theses people. When I am gone things will get worse.&quot;  Kaddafi was a man of many flaws, but things have gotten much worse just like he said.

Of course Kaddafi was smarter than Obama. It is axiomatic.  Obma is the least qualified person in any room he walks into.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I understand the partisan need to blame Obama but in this case I wish FPM would tone it down. Obama didn&#039;t create Islam. 


ISIS is spreading because it is the real thing. Devout Muslims recognize that. Instead of blaming Obama we should blame Islam. This is a teaching moment. We have been yelling for years that the West isn&#039;t facing the nature of Islam in its core meaning. The broad acceptance of ISIS has more to do with its conformity to the example of Mohammad than with a &quot;radicalization&quot; process.


The left blames America ... if we didn&#039;t offend Muslims they wouldn&#039;t be radicalized. FPM blames Obama ... if he wasn&#039;t weak, they wouldn&#039;t be radicalized. It&#039;s time to blame Mohammad ... if he hadn&#039;t exemplified barbarity they wouldn&#039;t be radicalized. 


Yes, both Bush and Obama blind us to the danger and their hapless response makes them enablers. But discouraging jihadists from directing their barbarity our way is complicated. It starts with understanding who they are and what drives their behavior, i.e. Islam. Neither political party is up to the task, yet. We have to educated them and ISIS is a teaching moment. Let&#039;s not wish it away so fast.]]></description>
