Bush speech;
Terror on the ‘net

By Michelle Malkin  •  September 5, 2006 11:52 AM

President Bush will deliver a speech later on today assessing progress in the War on Terror. Andy McCarthy has what you should look out for at The Corner. Coverage starts at 1:20pm Eastern.

The White House released some advance info on Bush’s remarks, which includes this:

Bush has said on many occasions that the country must be prepared for a drawn-out battle against a new kind of enemy, and the new counterterrorism strategy released today says flatly that “the war on terror will be a long war.”

It says that among the strategies the United States must emphasize are making all sovereign nations accountable for what happens on their soil, strengthening existing coalitions and partnerships against terrorists and continue to develop more expertise in this area.

One particular problem, it noted, is an “increasingly sophisticated use of the Internet and media” by terrorists and would-be terrorists, saying these tactics have allowed enemies of the United States to “rally support, proselytize and spread their propaganda without risking personal contact.”

As it happens, Internet jihad is the subject of a special investigative report by Clint Taylor over at Hot Air today. In Part I, Clint probes Hezbollah’s penetration in Venezuela and Latin America, spotlighting cyber-mobilization efforts by Spanish-speaking yihadis.
