To hear Obama speak, it is only Al-qaeda and UBL that attacked America and wages war against us.
But Al-qaeda is just one of many Islamic jihad terror groups and organizations throughout the globe that seeks our subjugation or demise.
What about Iran and its Islamic terrorist proxy Hezbollah? Both the Iranian government and Hezbollah have perpetrated acts of war against the U.S.
This is a global war fueled by Islamic ideology straight out of the Koran. It has been going on for 1400 years.
Before the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7th 1941 most Americans had little interest or concern with the fighting in Europe with the Nazis. -"It was Europes problem".
It was only after Germany, allied with the Japanese, declared war on America that this nation became involved in the war in Europe.
From that point the U.S. began fighting a war that England had already been fighting for more than a year.
After 9/11 the U.S. became more involved in fighting this same war against global militant Islam that our ally Israel has already been fighting for over 50 years.

Key excerpts:
["...the US has unevenly applied its tactic of denying terrorists free rein in territory of their choosing. In his historic speech before the Joint Houses of Congress on September 20, 2001, Bush pledged, 'We will pursue nations that provide aid or safe haven to terrorism. Every nation in every region now has a decision to make: Either you are with us, or you are with the terrorists. From this day forward, any nation that continues to harbor or support terrorism will be regarded by the United States as a hostile regime.'
And yet, while the US applied this principle in Afghanistan and Iraq, it applied it only partially in Pakistan, and failed to apply it at all in Iran, Syria, Lebanon and the Palestinian Authority."]
