Colorado Senate hopeful Jane Norton (R) has given her campaign website a facelift. And as part of that facelift she’s hitting Barack Obama for…not going to war against Islam.

The site, screencapped below features a still frame from a new ad, attacking Obama and Washington liberals for abandoning the War on Terrorism.

The ad includes a May 26, 2010 Reuters headline saying “Obama doctrine to make clear no war on Islam.” This is supposed to be a bad thing.

Watch:

Just before the screen goes black, with an airplane engine roaring in the background, Norton notes “President Obama has renamed the War on Terror ‘the Overseas Contingency Operation.'” OCO is a Pentagon term of art used largely for budgetary purposes. Obama’s national security strategy actually refers to a war against Al Qaeda.
