Paul Chabot: Evil is Spreading Under Obama
It's absolutely impossible for the average American to fully comprehend the evil growing in this world. I have long written on the sinister nature of terrorism, drug cartels, organized crimes, to include a comprehensive strategy on how to fight them. But in life, sometimes it takes the masses to fully see what evil is truly capable of. Imagine, if you will, the horrors of the concentration camps. Many didn't believe that such atrocities could occur in our world; yet they occurred, and when those images were brought to film, people could see for themselves - they believed, and they swore "never again."
In 2008 when I first went boots on the ground in Iraq as an intelligence officer working with our special operation forces, I forced myself to watch hundreds of terrorist execution videos so that I could fully understand the evil we face. It made me sick - I remember leaving my seat and going outside to throw-up - I remember having nightmares about those sadistic images of torture and death - it's simply beyond comprehension for most.
The torture and killing by ISIS, through the means of burning a human being alive is so evil-filled that just hearing of such a case turns our stomachs. While I respect the media's belief of not wanting to show the video to avoid spreading the ISIS propaganda, I believe that this killing should be shown, so that, like the sadistic nature of the holocaust, the free world understands just how evil this act is, from the planning to the execution. The images likely will never leave one’s mind, and nor should they. We must be honest with what we face.
To say we are at war with radical Islam is an understatement. We are at war with evil and I'm afraid the United States lacks the leadership, from the very top, starting with this President, to lead the free world in this battle.
The end-state for ISIS is the elimination of all of us - to create their Caliphate. If they continue to advance around the globe, as they are today, this will be on our doorsteps. It could be your loved one in that cage.
