“We’re not in a global war with those white supremacists or political radicals,. We’re [fighting] a global war that affects our homeland security with Islamist extremists.”
Lieberman blasts Obama’s politically correct war on terrorists
The Obama administration's politically-correct orthodoxy regarding the fight against terrorists is hurting the U.S. war effort, according to Senator Joe Lieberman (I-CT), chairman of the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Government Affairs.
Obama and many lawmakers in both houses of the U.S. Congress are often at odds with other politicians over the language used and the tools utilized in the war on terrorism. For example, the controversy over trying terrorists using civilian courts or military commissions approached the boiling point until the President acquiesced and allowed the military to try terrorists such as Khalid Sheikh Mohammed, the 9-11 mastermind.
