Ed Koch.

U.S. public opinion is far too intelligent to jump to a conclusion, but it is also intelligent enough to understand when it is being conned by our own government.

It seems to me that political correctness has reached the point where the FBI and the U.S. Army have allowed it to influence their investigations in life and death situations.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Now, Koch has the same idea that yesterday we told you Hasan had regarding conscientious objector status for Muslims in the military.

I still disagree, but I'll give the Mayor his say here:

I also believe that the U.S. Army should allow Muslims, who consider fighting other Muslims a violation of their religious beliefs, to opt out and be sent to other regions and combat zones. In Word War II, I believe Japanese American soldiers were sent to the European Theater of Operations. It is noteworthy that Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan and Iran have no religious problem in killing each other. They do it every day, sadly in large numbers. Muslim women and children are also injured and killed by Muslim suicide bombers entering local markets before blowing up themselves to wreak the most havoc.

The eight-year war between Iraq and Iran left an estimated million deaths and serious injuries. Sunni killed Shiites and Shiites killed Sunnis. They also killed one another on holy Muslim holidays like Ramadan while western countries like the U.S. and Great Britain were importuned to delay their attacks out of respect for Ramadan.

So...we should let Muslims opt-out of fighting in the Middle East because...Muslims kill each other over there on a daily basis? Am I missing something?

Anyway, the point here is that even Ed Koch realizes that the media, the FBI and the Army have gone completely berserk with political correctness, to the point where, as the Mayor notes, it is going to begin getting people killed.

PC was a virus when the Left started it. Like every other virus from the Left, we have to kill it before it kills us.
