Obama lulled America into false confidence over terror threat
U.K. telegraph ^ | 4/19/13 | Peter Foster

Posted on 04/19/2013 9:37:33 PM PDT by Typical_Whitey

In his State of the Union address to the American people earlier this year, Barack Obama declared that he was "confident" of achieving "our objective of defeating the core of al-Qaeda".

Although he acknowledged the need to pursue the "remnants" of the terrorist group and its affiliates, the overall message was clear – al-Qaeda was badly degraded, the tides of war were receding and the US was winning this fight that was no longer even officially a war.

The Boston bombings would appear to present a fundamental challenge to that assessment and once again bring the nagging uncertainty of terrorism back on to the American main street.

It is too soon to be absolutely sure the attacks were motivated by jihadist ideology, but the Islamic videos on the website of the older of the two Tsarnaev brothers point very firmly in that direction.

They bring home the complexity of the global Islamist threat and the fact that it cannot be confined to wars in distant lands, or fought at arm's length using drones, as the Obama administration has quietly yet insistently led America to believe.

Again we must look beyond our PRAVDA state run media controlled shores to find the truth in reporting. That said, my guess is that Obama and his lefties will be trying to redefine the Islamic Jihadists that bombed Boston as something new or different than the war on terror that we have been engaged in since Bill Clinton failed to do anything after the 1993 Trade Center bombing. We should all engage in a united front to stop this administration from redefining what we all know to be true. If we fail to confront Obama's radical leftist agenda head on than we will certainly be enslaved by it.

Thank God for the British press. Without them we would never know what’s going on.

Did law enforcement have to delay releasing pictures of the suspects in order to cover Obama’s appearance at the Boston memorial service?

This Boston bombing incident is the first time Obama did not rush to judgement concerning Caucasians.

What terror threat? That creepy pos never used the word, while lecturing us about our racism.

Liberals are creeps, weirdos.

Tes, he did. Tried to blame it on tax day. Someone a lot smarter than he is backed him off it.

Just because O and his stupid yobs don’t like to use the words islamist and terror doesn’t mean that the killers aren’t still active. O is way too sympathetic to the Muslim Brotherhood and Hamas and those of that ilk

Isn’t it weird how the King cut bomb detection funding by 45% then we got bombed? Almost like it was supposed to happen as some sort of a sequester ‘told ya so’ message?

O is a founding member of that ilk.

Some of the RATS tried that sequester nonsense early on like Hoyer but it just sounded so stupid because in fact the response to the bombing was outstanding besides sequester didn’t do anything to Boston Law enforcement... Doesn’t stop RATS from lying though...

Once again, we must rely on the British press to find the most accurate and best information.

Looked at that way, Mr Obama's "confidence" – and that of the American public – is likely to be badly shaken by what is emerging from Boston.

Good. Sad that it took the loss of life to make more people wake up to reality, and hopefully make Obama come even more unhinged.

Interesting. Obama was clueless, but Putin was psychic.

Because the Rusisians take a no-nonsense approach to terrorism.
