This past week, Obama did what he does best – gave Speeches.  No argument from me – he is an extremely gifted in the oratory department.   However, the delivery style of his speeches often overpowers the content of them.

Take the Ghana speech.  Most news organizations have focused on its “Tough Love from an American Brother” message (Africans reflect on Obama’s ‘tough love’ message),  - for Africa to get its act together, that it has so much potential and it is up to Africa to make it happen.  Excellent points abound in the text of his speech.  In fact when I look at the text of his foreign speeches from Russia, Ghana and Italy, I detect evidence of  new speech writers voice.  Its a good thing for the most part – a little less apologizing and more about Freedom:  Free Trade, Free Self Determination and Freedom from Fear.  All Good.  And it is certainly in the USA’s national interest to not be outflanked by China in our relations with African nations.

Which makes it almost possible to miss this little gem in his Ghana speech.  It would appear to be a Darfuf or even Rwanda reference, but its far too specfic.

“It is never justified, never justifiable to target innocents in the name of ideology”

The use of the words “Innocents” is quite interesting here since is ties to Quoranic verse 5:32.  But by his words is he suggesting that targeting non-citizens in the name of ideology is ok?   These are the perverted arguments given by the Islamic Terrorists that state that any citizen of a country at war with Islam is a legitimate target.  

He also did the EXACT SAME THING in his Cairo Speech

So why would Obama play into their argument with this use of language?  Why not state simply – It is never justfied to target your neighbor, or citizens, or how about ANYONE?

 He certainly was not aiming this message at Ghanaians, whose religious makeup is 69% Christian, 16% Muslim, 8% Traditional and 6% None (CIA Factbook)

This message was meant for the Muslim world – a request to stop targeting innocents – but to the Jihadi world it is an acknowledgment that it is okto continue their terror actions against the US armed forces as well as National Armies of Iraq and Afghanistan.    Why does he not CALL OUT the Jihadi/Terrorists for their outrageous behavior?  I suppose that would be close to judging someone and thus, impossible to expect from the apologizer in chief.

Hopefully one day the Jihadi-Muslo-Terrorists will end – until then we will continue to deal with their HORRORS
