WNU Editor: In his speech today on Iraq (Text of Obama’s Remarks on Iraq) .... President Obama did not once mention radical Islam and it's role in this crisis. He did mention ISIL and he did label it as a terrorist organization .... but he did not identify the radical Islamic principles and ideology that motivate this organization .... nor the role that their religious extremism is playing in escalating this crisis.

How can you fight an enemy when you refuse to identify who they are?
