Obama on Saying ‘Radical Islam’: ‘This Is a Political Distraction’

‘Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
"We cannot beat ISIL unless we call them “Radical Islam” what exactly using this label would accomplish anhat will it change? Will it make ISIL less committed to try to kill Americans? Would it bring more allies for military strategy than it is served by this? The answer is none of the above. Calling a threat by a different name does not make it go away. This is a political distraction."
