Bully Pulpit

The term "bully pulpit" stems from President Theodore Roosevelt's reference to the White House as a "bully pulpit," meaning a terrific platform from which to persuasively advocate an agenda. Roosevelt often used the word "bully" as an adjective meaning superb/wonderful. The Bully Pulpit features news, reasoned discourse, opinion and some humor.

Tony Blair: People Don’t Understand Radical Islam Is A ‘Generational-Long Struggle’

(By Glynnis MacNicol, Mediaite) - Just days after President Obama declared Operation Iraqi Freedom officially over, former Prime Minister Tony Blair is jumping into the media fray with his new memoir ‘A Journey: My Political Life.’ Blair’s memoir, which delves into his controversial decision to bring Britain into the Iraq War, hits bookstores just two months ahead of former President George W. Bush’s memoir ‘Decision Points’ and the two should provide an interesting compare and contrast about the time period following September 11th and leading up to the decision to invade Iraq.

Quite a few people have got overly excited about what Blair has said about 'radical Islam'. I would urge caution, as he has only semi-awakened to the Islamist threat; hence his use of the term ‘radical Islam’ instead of the factually correct ‘applied Islam’ or ‘doctrinaire Islam’. His policies helped to fuel the Islamisation of the UK and gag critics of this process. He has failed to come to grips with the ideological essence of Islam, and thus is unable to recommend the domestic policies which are required to successfully tackle Islamist terror. He is still in favour of making concessions to Islam in the UK. To fight wars overseas whilst encouraging Islam to spread unchecked at home is a recipe for disaster: http://durotrigan.blogspot.com/2010/09/has-tony-blair-woken-up-to-reality-of.html
