Words fail me here. Secretary of State Condoleeza Rice won't use the dreaded "J" (Jihad) word, because, you know, it would be mean: http://www.nypost.com/php/pfriendly/print.php?url=http://www.nypost.com/seven/05012008/postopinion/editorials/jihad_newspeak_108969.htm. God forbid ANYONE should link Islam with its violent, Jihadist component.
At what point does political correctness become a national security threat? I'd say right about now............

The P.C. Police State
It's bad here, but nowhere is it worse than in the U.K. Not satisfied with its previous efforts to appease Islamofascists, the Gordon Brown government has now apparently decided to say that Islamic terrorists "are pursuing anti-Islamic activity": http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=508901&in_page_id=1770.
Since we're going down this politically correct road, why not go all the way? The Nazis weren't genocidal maniacs; rather, they were purusing "anti-German activity". The same can be said for every other bloodthirsty group in the history of this planet.
At what point do clear-thinking people say "enough is enough"? At what point do we tell our idiot politicians to get their heads out of their rear ends and SPEAK THE TRUTH? Not only are we ignoring that 800 pound gorilla in the corner of the room, we're leaving the room entirely.

Shutting down free speech
Those who read my blog know that I am a big Mark Steyn fan. However, not everyone else is. And, that "not everyone else" includes the Canadian Islamic Congress, which has successfully petitioned two human rights commissions (whatever those are) in Canada, one federal, one provincial, to hear complaints that Steyn's writings constitute "Islamophobic hate speech": http://corner.nationalreview.com/post/?q=NzgzNmFmODNmNDJkMWYzMTdkYjlkNDI2ZTA2NmI1ZTU.
This would never happen in the U.S.--well, let me correct that. It won't happen right now, but if CAIR gets its way, it will soon.

Iraq is lost
Well, no, not really, but you'd never gather that from the reports in the MSM, which is slavishly devoting all of its resources to proclaiming that the Surge has already failed, and to publicizing the week-kneed proclamations of Republicans who are doing their best Cowardly Lion impression: http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110010320.
Is Iraq Malibu, or the Hamptons, or Palm Beach? Of course not. It never will be. To declare the Surge a failure just as it is really getting started, however, is the ultimate in irresponsible and mendacious behaviour.
