PennPatriot: Bob Casey and the War On Terrorism

The general election is only five months away and the latest poll reveals that 42% of the people polled said they knew very little about Bob Casey. This is troubling when you sit back and really consider just what is at stake in this election. If you are truthful to yourself, you know just what is at stake. Deep down Americans know that our nation's future security may depend on who we vote for in November. So it is time for Pennsylvanians to wake up and seriously examine Bob Casey's views on fighting the War On Terrorism.

Just in case you have been mislead by the mainstream media, The War On Terrorism is not really about Afghanastan, Iraq, Al Qaeda or Osama bin Ladin. This war is really about a battle of ideals, beliefs and values. It is a classic clash of civilizations. What Islamic extremists want is simple. They want to destroy the power of christianity in the world by destroying the civilizations that were founded upon its' principles (The West). When terrorists talk about "The West" the christian world is what they are refering to not just the United States. The primary goal of Islamic fascism is to restore Islam as the predominent power in the world.

Isn't it funny how the mainstream media and the Democratic Party Leadership never mentions exactly what the Islamic extremists want to accomplish. According to them the primary root cause of global terrorism in the world is our own foreign policy. This assumption or belief cannot be further from the truth and those who spread this message are a serious threat to our future security. I truly believe that Islamic fascism is the greatest threat to christian values and to the principles of democracy that this world has ever seen. It is a bigger threat than German fascism in the 1930's, 40's and Soviet Communism in the 50's, 60' and 70's. Islamic fascism is a threat to our security, our economy, to our families, and perhaps most import, to the basic foundations of our society.

So now that you know just what is at stake and why we must win the War On Terrorism, where does Bob Casey stand? Casey's campaign website states the following:

In the U.S. Senate, Bob Casey will ask the tough questions and demand truthful answers from this or any other administration that puts our troops in harm's way. He will also push for restoring relationships with our allies and re-establishing the international respect and goodwill that the current administration has largely squandered.

Truthfulness? Here again we see that Democratic Party leadership's belief that the United States is the root cause of terrorism in the world. They simply refuse to face the threat posed by Islamic fascisism. Furthermore, is Casey's view really a solution? The answer is no. How are you going to "restore relationships" with allies that also refuse to face the reality and the threat of Islamic fascism. I don't think France will be a big help at this point Casey.

Casey also believes that winning the war ends with capturing Osama Bin Ladin. Again this belief is a gross misunderstanding of what this war is really about. The Casey website doesn't even mention defeating Islamic fascism or the word victory. Based on the following Casey doesn't seem to think that it isn't a war at all. Here is a passage from Casey's website:

Our original military actions to destroy Al Qaeda camps in Afghanistan were correct and effective steps to take. But Osama bin Laden is still on the loose. As Pennsylvania's Senator, Bob Casey will push the White House and the Pentagon to redouble efforts to capture or kill bin Laden and crush the terrorist threat. Our troops at home and abroad should be honored for their dedicated work and their sacrifice. Bob Casey will make sure that same kind of relentless commitment to stamping out terrorism exists in Washington.

We will not defeat Islamic fasicsm by just capturing Osama bin Laden. If your understand that Islamic fasicm is like a cancer to the civilized, christian world you fully understand why President Bush has chosen to take the course that he has. President Bush has chosen to attack the institutions that support and foster Islamic fascist cells. Nation's like Lybia, Afghanastan, and Iraq are all country's that financially supported and harbored terrorist cells. Syria and Iran are also country's that are in the same category. However, the Democratic Party leadership and Bob Casey can not seem to put two and two together. They continue to seperate the Iraq front in the War On Terrorism. They really don't see the big picture.

Casey's views stated on his campaign website are more like criticisms of President Bush than real solutions to winning the war. President Bush's fundamental belief that the only way to defeat Islamic fascism is to spread democratic principles in the Middle East may be a gamble, but it is a viable strategy. What is the Democratic Party alternative? Basically this approach worked in Eastern Europe and President Bush believes it will work again in the Middle East. Historically, Democracy is the only proven strategy to defeat fascism in the world.

Senator Rick Santorum has been a leader in the U.S. Senate in working with the Bush administration to win the War On Terrorism. He has proposed real solutions not broad/vague criticsms. He understands the nature of this war and just what is at stake. Based on reviewing Casey's views on his campaign website, I believe Pennsylvanians can not afford to replace a Senator that has been a "voice for victory" with someone that seems to have no clue about the very nature of the war we are fighting.
