Only ONE country is mentioned, yet we shut down embassies everywhere and put out travel warnings. Never let a serious crisis go to waste, eh? (said Rahm Emanuel to the NYT when he was Chief of Staff)

And you libs/progs wonder why Republicans don't trust this president.
Maybe on 8/10 they will reopen the embassies and thank the NSA for saving thousands of lives even if nothing gets blown up.
We're being told that an attack is imminent and will be on the scale of 9/11 from US lawmakers that got briefed.

Default Al Qaeda A Bigger Threat Than Pre-9/11 Because Obama Is Weak

Quote:
A year ago, Barack Obama told us that Al Qaeda was on the run. Now, it is we who seem to be on the run. As 22 U.S. embassies throughout the Muslim world remain closed, the question is, how did we get to this point?
We got to this point under the leadership of the Failure In Chief.......

Terrorism is a bigger threat because we got rid of dictators who were able to keep them in line.

FIRST .... we have had plastered all over the news the ADMITTED US supplying of weapons and military assistance to Al Qaeda operatives in three countries ... Egypt, Libya, and Syria. They even had the black "Al Qaeda" flag waving in Libya for christ sake. But that is supposed to be what? The good Al Qaeda as opposed to the bad Al Qaeda?

Listen ... I know it was just too much for some of you to accept and come to terms with, the admitted fact that Al Qaeda was created by the CIA/Pak ISI, when you were told this years ago. Even though it was well documented, and admitted that Osama Bin Laden was a CIA operative, code named Tim Osmond, and that this band of "freedom fighters" were assembled and trained by the US to harass the Soviets out of Afghanistan decades ago. We told you back then, that Al Qaeda was under the control of the CIA then .. and were likely still under that control in 2001. But nooooo .... Al Qaeda is the boogie man, and they are now biting the hand that used to feed them. Fast forward to 2013 ..... now, it seems, that we can fight Al Qaeda in some places, and provide them weapons and aid in other places ... SIMULTANEOUSLY ????

And you dare suggest that anyone other than yourself was "born yesterday"? A damned infant has better sense than this.

We're losing this war on terror.

Those terrorists have been successful in rescuing their fellow terrorists from jails in 9 ME countries.
Did you know that ? Jailbreaks in 9 ME countries..thousands got freed.
AQ/Taliban..whoever the enemy is these days are succeeding in forming strongholds in ME countries where we removed dictators who kept them in line.

We are to blame for what is happening. These terrorists didn't just wake up and choose America.
Our policies, our invasions, etc. allowed this to happen.
We created this beast, we fed this beast and now this beast has turned on us.
It's sort of like Walmart closing all their stores along the east coast because OWS threatened to protest against them, but were not specific as to which store.

Obama is just not interested, he views this as a distraction from his agenda.

This is not like Iraq or Afghanistan, where he could just continue Bush's policies. It's not Libya either, where he goes along with whatever our NATO allies want to do, and be seen as leading from behind. This requires Obama to make an executive decision, and we all know how lazy and indecisive he is.

If we'd have been smart, we'd retain a presence in Afghanistan, just like Germany, but nooooahhhhh

Obama is and always will be a failed president, so sorry to say....

He hasn't done anything good for this country, and I fear, we're at the end of what we know is life, as we grow broke, our cities are broke, infostructure is so bad...was 20 years ago...economy is sick, and our boarders are still wide open....

and neither was Bush, they have both run us into the ground, not to mention, leaders under them, no longer know what to do....they have destroy our country/our social systems, and we just keep on spending....
