President Obama today, in an interview with French tv station Canal Plus on I-Television:"And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we'd be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world."

We have reached the practical and prudent limits of military power to achieve our geopolitical goals. This is a soft power exercise.
