Donald Rumsfeld said he gives the Obama administration an "F" on combating radical ideology because they have a policy of avoiding terms like "jihad" Thursday on CNN:
DONALD RUMSFELD: [...] The space that we occupied for example during the Cold War, where we competed against the ideas of communism, to my knowledge our government is not competing in that space at all.
JAKE TAPPER: Have we ever? Did we during the Bush years?
DONALD RUMSFELD: No. I was asked in the press and I gave us a D minus and I'm an easy grader. I'd give this administration an F because they won't even use the words. Until today I haven't heard people use the word jihad. I haven't heard the people in the Obama administration talk about the fact that there are people that are determined to kill innocent men, women, and children that are attacking the whole concept of the nation state. They avoid those words.
