U.S. Representative-elect for Florida’s 22nd congressional district, Lt. Colonel (RET) Allen West sounds off like he’s got a pair as he tells reporter Tommy Chandler how he would handle the fight against Islamic jihad.

This man understands the nature of our enemy, but more importantly he understands what is necessary for victory. THIS is what a Commander-In-Chief should sound like! (h/t: Idiots4Obama)

Here are few good excerpts, like this one at 0:58…

“When you say ‘War on Terrorism,’ that’s a terrible misnomer because terrorism is a tactic. You can’t fight a tactic. It’d be just like saying in World War Two, we were fighting ‘blitzkrieg’ or we were fighting ‘kamikaze.’ No one has clearly defined and articulated who this enemy is. No one has stood up and said ‘It’s radical Islamic ideology and the states that are sponsoring it.’ These terrorist groups are just their means of footsoldiers.”

At 1:42…

“We’ve got to start shutting them down. We can not allow them to come in to our country and proselytize in their mosques and talking about overthrowing our government, our constitutional democracy, saying they want to replace it with Sharia, and then we say ‘That’s ok, that’s freedom of speech, that’s freedom of religion.’ That’s not, it’s sedition. this is not going away…there are two ways you end the war…you win or you lose…”

And again at 3:28…

“…when you say, ‘How do you fight against a guy who is willing to die?’ You grant him his wish. Ok? That’s the thing we have to understand. You kill these guys.”

Lt. Colonel West also has plenty to say about the qualities of leadership and President Obama’s lack thereof. The full interview is a little over six minutes long, but it’s very much worth it to hear good old-fashioned common sense rather than the ineffectual political correctness we’ve been treated to for the past several decades.

In case you haven’t already heard LTC West’s victory speech, you owe it to yourself to give it a listen. It’s refreshing to hear such a passionate articulation of American pride!

    You just gotta respect Sen, Elect Allen. A straight shooter simply telling it as it is.
