INCREDIBLE – AT 11:02 A.M. ET: A Winston Churchill he's not, but Britain's Prime Minister David Cameron has put our president to absolute shame in his decisive, articulate, unyielding description of what we face in confronting radical Islam. From Fox:
British Prime Minister David Cameron vowed to confront radical Islam "at home and abroad" and the United Kingdom raised its terror level to "severe" in the wake of new revelations about Islamic State's butchery in Syria and Iraq.
Cameron, speaking from 10 Downing Street, said Britain's problem with homegrown radical jihadists joining the bloody battle engulfing the Middle East and threatening attacks on the west must be addressed with tough action.
"This is not some foreign conflict thousands of miles away that we can hope to ignore," the Conservative Party leader said. "The ambition to create an extremist caliphate in the heart of Iraq and Syria is a threat to our own security here in the UK. And that is in addition to the many other Al Qaeda-inspired terrorist groups that exist in that region. The first ISIL terrorist attacks on the continent of Europe have already taken place."
"We cannot appease this ideology," the Conservative Party leader said. "We have to confront it at home and abroad. To do this we need a tough, intelligent, patient, comprehensive approach to defeat the terrorist threat at its source.
COMMENT: Compare please to the mush put out by the Obama administration, which came to office trying to redefine terrorism as "man-made disasters," and which called the Islamist attack at Fort Hood "workplace violence."
Britain raised its alert level to "severe." Obama will probably change ours to, "Well, you never know."
Already Cameron is being sniped at by the journalistic left, which apparently is appalled by the truth. It's so upsetting to have the party line questioned.
But hail to King David. He made Obama look like the child he is.
