Yesterday, a Canadian soldier was killed and another injured in a “hit and run” terrorist attack.
Today at a war memorial near the Canadian Parliament in Ottawa, Canada, a gunman shot and killed a soldier before being killed by Parliament’s sergeant-at-arms. The search continues for possibly more accomplices.

Newt Gingrich believes Obama’s comments were too soft:
President Obama's statement on Canadian killings verges on delusional. He can't bring himself go tell truth about Radical Islamists.

As we continue to lose the war with Radical Islamists historians will look at today's Obama comments as a case study in self delusion.
