ABC News Exclusive: National Security Adviser Says President Obama Is Having Greater Success Taking Terrorists Out of Commission Than Bush Did

August 31, 2009 6:00 PM

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.”

The former Marine General didn't provide any specific numbers to back up his claim, but he said “there is an increasing trend and I think we seen that in different parts of the world over the last few months for sure.” He added that he was not “making a tally sheet saying we are killing more people, capturing more people than they did -- that is not the issue.”

Is that “out of commission” or out of prison?

Right. Using “law enforcement” sure kept the U.S. safe, didn’t it?

Are they referring to Napolitano’s definition of terrorists?

Well, color me shocked, shocked I tell ya - the President's appointee says the President is doing mo betta than his predecessor. Wow, next thing ya know, Gibbs will report that Michelle says that the O is the biggest and best lay she has ever had.

I am reminded of the bumper sticker with a drawing of an Indian Chief with the quote, "You can trust the Government. RIGHT."

The libmedia had to scurry and find some left wing general to back up the sad sack zero. No one’s buying it.

most likely scenario:

"Great news. Tonight we are taking out thirty murdering terrorists on Air Force 1 over Manhattan."

I wonder if Jones has been given a “whiz quiz” lately.

That is the whole issue. The fact is, other than Bin Laden or Zawahiri there is no one that Obama could get in connection with 9/11 that Bush didn't already get.

That is precisely the issue.
Chortle!
You gotta give some credit to this guy for being pretty creative, resourceful liar. He manages to say a lot without actually saying anything.

Then again, the Obama administration considers Christians and gun owners as potential terrorist threats.

Beatles - Come Together

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "i know you, you know me"
One thing i can tell you is you got to be free
Come together right now over me

He bag production he got walrus gumboot
He got ono sideboard he one spinal cracker
He got feet down below his knee
Hold you in his armchair you can feel his disease
Come together right now over me

He roller-coaster he got early warning
He got muddy water he one mojo filter
He say "one and one and one is three"
Got to be good-looking 'cause he's so hard to see
Come together right now over me
