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’ve prayed more since August than I have in the combined 47 years of my life.
I try to stay positive and have faith that He’s control but what *if* what is happening to us is God’s will?
No amount of prayer will change that.

Perhaps you are praying for the wrong things.
Maybe you should pray that Americans wake up and recognize Obama as the fraud that he is.
Then maybe something will happen to change the situation.

Shockingly, those words have the chiilly and
sinister ring of truth.
Who’da thunk our beloved America could have
this amount and this depth of destruction
and disarray from within .. and from the highest
level of our govt in just 4 short months ?
We are living a nightmare.

We are Safer
The Recession is ending by the 3rd quarter
Muslim Outreach
Taxes are Patriotic
You forgot the rest of the mantra.
If I remember correctly it goes something like:
War is peace
Freedom is slavery
Ignorance is strength

Oh ..... for those of you who have been flummoxed by the apparent escalation of our war in Afghanistan and Pakistan, while maintaining our involvement in Iraq.....

Brilliantly ironic casting of Hurt in V4V.
Who knew Winston had it in him?
[there’s a bitter “Clockwork Orange-esque” parable in there, somewhere]

Yea. I watched the first half hour of his speech last night, and almost puked on the screen. Jones is a globalist and will go along with everything zero's gang comes up with.
Of course anyone that watched that speech at CSPAN would have taken note in his intro that he was raised in France.
Figures...
