Nat'l Security Adviser: Obama Is Having Greater Success Taking Terrorists Out . . . Than Bush
ABC News ^ | August 31, 2009

Posted on 08/31/2009 4:15:34 PM PDT by rightwingintelligentsia

Responding to criticism from former Vice President Cheney that President Obama is making the nation more vulnerable to terrorism, the president’s National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.), told ABC News in an exclusive interview that actually the reverse is true: President Obama’s greater success with international relations has meant more terrorists put out of commission.

“This type of radical fundamentalism or terrorism is a threat not only to the United States but to the global community,” Jones said. “The world is coming together on this matter now that President Obama has taken the leadership on it and is approaching it in a slightly different way – actually a radically different way – to discuss things with other rulers to enhance the working relationships with law enforcement agencies – both national and international."

Jones said that “we are seeing results that indicate more captures, more deaths of radical leaders and a kind of a global coming-together by the fact that this is a threat to not only the United States but to the world at-large and the world is moving toward doing something about it.”

I keep thinking that we may at some point hope the military enforces the constitution and throws this impostor out - but this defender of Obama is a retired general! What on earth is he talking about???

Wonder if we are getting any cooperation shutting down the contributions to these terror organizations through Islamic front groups? General? Oh that’s right! Obama doesn’t want to go there!

A word of advice General: All it will take is one major attack on the US or one of our overseas posts and you will rue the day you ever made that statement. I hope you will have the integrity to resign your post the next day should such an event take place.

When the truth is, more troops have died in Afghanistan this MONTH than ALL of the war since it began. But of course that goes unreported in the ‘main stream media’.
