The list of senior terrorists killed during the Obama presidency is fairly extensive.
There’s Osama bin Laden, of course, killed in May.
Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) leader Anwar al-Awlaki as of today.
Earlier this month officials confirmed that al Qaeda’s chief of Pakistan operations, Abu Hafs al-Shahri, was killed in Waziristan, Pakistan.
In August, ‘Atiyah ‘Abd al-Rahman, the deputy leader of al Qaeda was killed.
In June, one of the group’s most dangerous commanders, Ilyas Kashmiri, was killed in Pakistan. In Yemen that same month, AQAP senior operatives Ammar al-Wa’ili, Abu Ali al-Harithi, and Ali Saleh Farhan were killed. In Somalia, Al-Qa’ida in East Africa (AQEA) senior leader Harun Fazul was killed.
Administration officials also herald the recent U.S./Pakistani joint arrest of Younis al-Mauritani in Quetta.
Going back to August 2009, Tehrik e-Taliban Pakistan leader Baitullah Mahsud was killed in Pakistan.
In September of that month, Jemayah Islamiya operational planner Noordin Muhammad Top was killed in Indonesia, and AQEA planner Saleh Ali Saleh Nabhan was killed in Somalia.
Then in December 2009 in Pakistan, al Qaeda operational commanders Saleh al-Somali and ‘Abdallah Sa’id were killed.
In February 2010, in Pakistan, Taliban deputy and military commander Abdul Ghani Beradar was captured; Haqqani network commander Muhammad Haqqani was killed; and Lashkar-e Jhangvi leader Qari Zafar was killed.
In March 2010, al Qaeda operative Hussein al-Yemeni was killed in Pakistan, while senior Jemayah Islamiya operative Dulmatin - accused of being the mastermind behind the 2002 Bali bombings – was killed during a raid in Indonesia.
In April 2010, al Qaeda in Iraq leaders Abu Ayyub al-Masri and Abu Omar al-Baghdadi were killed.
In May, al Qaeda’s number three commander, Sheik Saeed al-Masri was killed.
In June 2010 in Pakistan, al Qaeda commander Hamza al-Jawfi was killed.
Remember when Rudy Giuliani warned that electing Barack Obama would mean that the U.S. played defense, not offense, against the terrorists?
If this is defense, what does offense look like?

No, Muslims freedom is *not* the same as mine. My belief system does not demand that those who
do not agree should convert or face death. Mine does not demand a different legal system. Mine does
not insist that my daughter be put to death should she not agree with the family interpretation of the
belief system. Mine does not disallow the education of my daughter. Mine does not encourage self-
destruction in the slaughter of those who do not agree. Mine does not promote the murder of innocents.
Mine does not demand the death of those who do not treat a printed book with 'proper' respect.
Mine does not demand worldwide domination. Mine does not demand I grow a beard or wear funny
clothes. Mine does not allow pedophile practices. Mine does not encourage the killing of children.
Mine does not demand that my daughter or wife hide themselves head to toe in rags. Mine does not
follow the insane rantings of a savage warlord. Mine does not build its' strength by appealng to the most
ignorant and criminal in society.

Shall I go on?

Be amusing to see Al Qaeda support Flip.
Obama doesn't have any military experience either. Bush only had a little.
I think Issa would probably be a good war president, because he's always witch hunting.
Harry reid would probably turn the other cheek.

It's all smoke and mirrors. Obama fit the timeline of world Oligarch's to manipulate the world psyche....


O'bama is no more than a puppet, just like O'Bush, O'Romney, O'Clinton.....

They are all sell outs... Nothing Presidential since Kennedy, when he was killed for wanting to end the power of centralized banking. Which is the root of ALL global evil.

Actually Romney already declared he would flood weapons to Syria where al Qaeda is active. Secondly Obama has done nothing regarding Hamas, but Bush actually put them in power in Palestine. Bush also bullied israel into pulling their troops and civilians out of gaza, where Hamas is now in full control. Bush also opened the "university of terror" in Iraq which gave an untold number of people an opportunity to become terrorists.

I don't think we can take 4 more years of golf vacations.

BTW you got fair share of the debt ready to send in? Last time I knew it was $3,500 per every man woman and child.

I guess reading is not fundamental to you because if you had even attempted to do any research you would have found that he did take as many vacations as your hero bush did

This mindset, it knows no compromise or good will, it knows oppressive rule-of-law and will use terrorism as a means to establish that - internationally. In other words, when you consider all the resources and lost lives we commit to this war, and consider the results of our attacks on the Islamic extremists, it is a zero-sum-game. The ONLY positive outcome in our minds, if that we are still alive and breathing, and at the end of the day, very little fundamental change has occurred in these terrorism hotbeads.
First through the arrogance and ignorance of many Americans manipulated by a leaning media and on top of that the lack of research on their part we assume that they want to rule the world and make everyone follow their laws. Alot of the terrorism would stop if we quit bombing the wrong places (schools, mosques, hospitals and innocent civilians), quit overthrowning their governments and officals, stealing their country's resources and giving them a fair shake at the negotiating table.

sadly if we were at the other end of the hostilities we would be doing the same thing.

You do realize that the congress controls the budget and that is presently controlled by the republicans. Oh btw national security funding does not cover the Embassies. Here let me show it to you again who actually cut the funding for the embassies and when:
