President Barack Obama's national security advisor, James Jones, Wednesday rejected ex-vice president Dick Cheney's claim that dismantling Bush-era anti-terror policies had made Americans less safe.
"In my view, I firmly believe that the United States is not only safe but it will be more secure and the American people are increasingly safer because of the president's leadership that he has displayed consistently over the last four months, both at home and abroad," Jones said.

Jones also cited Obama's outreach to the Muslim world, including next week's major address in Egypt, renewal of U.S. alliances abroad and his plan to tackle threats as diverse as Iran's nuclear program, climate change and his forthcoming cybersecurity initiative.
The national security advisor didn't mention Cheney by name, but his remarks were a clear rejection of the rhetoric of the former vice president, who has mounted a stinging attack on Obama's national security policies

I know ... have military family, friends,
BUT there’s a way of supporting your CIC
in much less specific, more bland terms.
Petraeus’s statement ... I could cry.
I thought so, but to specifically say that
0 has made us safer, implies the comparison.
I do not believe that’s true.
Americans, by and large, are good and conservative....greed took many of us away for a moment. Free Republic helped me regain my patriotism...What will it take to get the others back to America?
I am praying there is a “Valkyrie” in the works here and now, as there was in Germany a few decades back
There are MANY people on FR who feel the same way.
Something wicked this way comes.
I can’t say too much or people here will think I’m crazier than they already do, but...yeah.
There’s also a fourth kind...those who can “see” it happening yet are powerless to stop it.
As Frank Black said;
“This is my gift; this is my curse.”
"Obama makes the entire world a safer place."
Quite an insight!
Well, as my favorite radio Bible teacher says, “God is on the Throne, and Prayer Changes Things.”
Obama is doing it for them
"The New and Improved Wesley Clark."
Mike Mullen seems to be leaning that way, too.
If I were Gen. Petraeus, I'd be worrying about my rear areas right about now. I wouldn't put it past Zero to hang Petraeus out to dry, with McMullen and Clark and Jones, and maybe Eric Shinseki too, providing conceptual air cover.
Not a single one of their financial or national security initiatives will be successful.
No amount of msm lying is going to change that fact. More people are losing their jobs so they certainly aren’t going to be fooled.
NK and Iran will continue to be a problem despite the msm willingness to play down the threat.
All we can do is keep speaking out and of course, do a lot of praying.
Peaceful sleep...not me either.
Last nights dream, a nightmare. I was facedown in a truck be taken to some internment camp. Not prison, not technically arrested or quarentine stuff...
...this morning the detail of the dream wanes foggy, except for that truck, laying facedown traveling along an unknown road.
I’ve never had dreams like this before, I am not a soldier or military person, nor have I ever been to prison or had my freedom restricted.
0bama has made us more unsafe in the world.
He is also making us more unsafe in our own country, from our own countrymen. Everyday is another step towards something very evil and every day a few more fall away from his side. Yet...the press, his private administration etc. go happily along ignoring the people.
The propoganda hangs heavy in the media and I wonder ...is all lost, is his tactic to force a civil war and then the truck becomes real?
The propaganda:
We are Safer
The Recession is ending by the 3rd quarter
Muslim Outreach
Taxes are Patriotic

And yet their actions tell a different story.
As Hitler explained in Mein Kampf:
The size of a lie is a definite factor in causing it to be believed, for the vast masses of a nation are in the depths of their hearts more easily deceived than consciously and intentionally bad. The primitive simplicity of their minds renders them a more easy prey to a big lie than a small one, for they themselves often tell little lies but would be ashamed to tell big ones.
When one considers what is happening with N. Korea and Iran even as Gen. Jones speaks, his opinion is fairly breathtaking. I wonder how much he sold his soul for.
The man is a despicable but useful idiot to the likes of The Marxist Onada. I include Adm. Mullin in his company.
I can’t remember what I dream, which is odd in the extreme.
All I now is that lately, every morning at 4:44 a.m., I wake up in a full-blown panic attack [feels like a combination of suffocation and a heart attack, if you’ve never had one yourself]
About 15 minutes later, for no reason that I can identify or understand, I sob uncontrollably like my heart is breaking.
[not a normal habit, either]
It takes *hours* for me to settle down.
By then, it’s dawn and I can’t get back to sleep.
Needless to say, I am very, very tired.
I’d venture to say that whatever I’m dreaming is too horrible for my conscious mind to deal with...yet...or ever.
If it’s God trying to tell me something, it must be really, really bad.
[in case you wondered, Shibumi got pinged because he’s aware of me and my ongoing “11:11” and “4:44” thingy]
