James Jones: US Safer Under Obama (Iraq, Afghanistan, terrorists, retired)

[dukester.2]

WASHINGTON — President Barack Obama's national security adviser
laid out a sweeping rebuttal Wednesday to former
Vice President Dick Cheney's charge that America
is less safe under the new administration.

Pointing to increases in defense spending,
efforts to get out of Iraq and revamp the strategy
for Afghanistan, and a broad campaign to repair
the U.S. reputation abroad, retired Marine Gen. James Jones
said the nation is safer today than it has been.
But, he added, no administration is perfect.

"I think that the former vice president knows full well
that perfection is an impossible standard," said Jones,
adding that the U.S. can only do everything it can
"to keep threats at bay and as far away from our shores
as possible."

James Jones: US Safer Under Obama


The worst terrorists attack on America soil happened on Cheney/Bush's watch. Why do we care what Cheney has to say about anything, especially criticizing our current President in such a weird way.

You mean you don't think this is proof that the U.S. is safer under Obama?
