Bibi Diagnoses the Malignancy of Jihad

In a time when politicians willing to tell the truth are in short supply, it was refreshing to hear a foreign leader telling an American audience what our own are exceedingly reluctant to admit.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu provided such a bracing reality check in an interview on CBS News’ “Face the Nation” on Sunday. He warned that there are “great events changing our world” and that “between East and West…there is a malignancy of militant Islam.” And it is “growing and spreading.”

Bibi Netanyahu added that the greatest threat facing his people and ours is that these jihadists will “marry their mad ideologies to weapons of mass death.”

Sadly, our leaders seem determined to allow an exemplar of this malignancy, Iran, to obtain the ultimate weapon of mass death: the nuclear bomb.
