#2 The video is painful to watch. This PC harness has to go. Stupid ostrich head in sand, backside presented. Terrorists have no problem at all naming their enemies and their motives. Very upfront about it.

Wouldn't it be hilarious if Holder's inability to answer a straight-forward question comes through fear that should he do so, islamists might target him?. Perhaps they have already done so.

#4 Maybe he hasn't read the report yet?

#5 How is it possible that this testimony has not already led to numerous calls for his resignation or his being replaced by the Obama administration? Whether this would be successful is irrelevant. Repeated demands for his resignation should be a minimum response. This video should be used in campaigns all over the country this November.

#6 The feds have been systematically removing any reference to radical Islam and to Islamicists as the enemy for a few years now. It's endemic in DOD, among other places, and got a decorated intel officer fired from his job with the Joint Staff when he laid out the way in which terror attacks are part of the Islamicist understanding of Quranic warfare.

#7 Even saying that Jihad is due to radical Islam is watering down the truth.

Normalistic understanding of Islam is that Jihad is mandatory. The question of what is the proper Jihad (when, where, against whom, methods, etc.) is debated within the world of Islam but there is no doubt that moslems are supposed to do Jihad.

#8 Geez, what a weasle. It's as if our leaders were afraid to utter the word "German" in 1942 out of fear of offending somebody.

#9 Perhaps Mr. Holder, being the second smartest guy on the planet after Barack, was waiting for Rep. Smith to remove the word "radical" from his blaming of "radical Islam"? Or not.
