Col. West speaks rather clearly and plainly, unusually so actually, on the bare bones facts of Islam now and from the beginning. West begins his comment at about 1:40 into the following video:
"The first thing you gotta do is study and understand who you're up against...You're fighting against a theo-political belief system....You need to get into the Koran, the Hadith and the Sura...this is not a perversion. They are doing exactly what this book says...Until you get principled leadership in the United States that is willing to say that, we will continue to chase our tail. Because, we will never clearly define who this enemy is and then understand their goals and objectives which is on any Jihadist website. And then come up with the right goals and objectives not only to secure our Republic, but secure Western Civilization."

To answer my own questions to who was on that panel too timid to directly answer that marine's question, I watched the Hudson Institute videos to identify them.
The marine, Gail Baum of Redstate.com directed his question to Jed Babbin former United States Deputy Undersecretary of Defense. Babbin passed the query to the legal end of the panel, Andy McCarthy, the one who pleaded the fifth with a giggle and a snort in the video above, is the former Assistant United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York. He was most notable for leading the 1995 terrorism prosecution against Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman and eleven others.
Richard B. Myers, a four-star general of the United States Air Force, served as the 15th Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff - he was the fella on the far end who was 'hopeful there were other voices out there that are rational' .
These are clearly top brass . . .and to this day, nine years post 9/11, they remain too timid to frankly respond to a marine with the same self assured manner of Col West. Forgive me if I find their timidity very very troubling.
What, pray tell, at the level of achievement of these men - what could possibly castrate their principles in front of this marine?
God bless Col. West. We need a lot more of his character taking hold of the leadership of this nation and giving direction to our finest in uniform.
