MCLEAN, Virginia (Reuters) President Barack Obama on Tuesday vowed the United States would keep relentless pressure on al Qaeda and ensure extremist networks, which he called a "principle" threat, do not find safe havens overseas.
"We know that al Qaeda and its extremist allies threaten us from different corners of the globe -- from Pakistan but also from East Africa and Southeast Asia; from Europe and the Gulf," Obama said in a visit to the National Counterterrorism Center.
"And that's why we're applying focused and relentless pressure on al Qaeda," he said, citing intelligence-sharing, disruption of terrorism financing, and attacks on al Qaeda's leadership.
Obama spoke in an operations center called "the bat cave," as his administration works on a new Afghanistan strategy that is partly aimed at defeating Taliban extremists and al Qaeda.

No, he is engaged in a PR campaign to show that he is strong on defense and the WOT. I am sure the WH internal polls show that Obama has been hurt by his indecisiveness on Afghanistan.
“YOU LIE!”
Barack Obama, always kidding...
Rush pointed out no mention of Afghanistan here. As opposed to this recent speech.
I hope he’s more successful in this endeavor than he was in the pursuit of the Olympics for Chicago. Will he “take the gloves off” and “take no prisoners”? Or will this be more of a touchy-feely-hopey-changey relentless approach?
With this guy it is always a photo op! Continuing to vote ‘presdent’ on Afghanistan and manage the war by Committe.
Ahhh, we vow “persistant” U.S. pursuit of..nah, nah...we vow “unyielding” pursuit of..nah that doesn’t work either...we provide “Relentless!” pursuit of Al Qaeda. That’s the one.
Brillaint Sir, just brilliant. You’ve nailed it again.
O: er, how’d I look?
Aide: Very Presdiential Sir, very much in command.
NO: ot too forceful?!? I don’t want to offend our Muslim friends.
Aide: No, Sir right on. It’s McCrystal’s move now.
The Relentless Mouth aided by the Relentless Teleprompter.
There. I fixed it.
Mealy mouthed wraith comes to mind. There's nothing there.
islamist liar
This from a clown that should have NEVER EVER been granted a security clearance.
I’m confused. Why is he ‘relentlessly’ doing anything when there is no longer any war on terror and all these countries are small and insignificant (including Iran)?
“Obama vows “relentless” U.S. pursuit of al Qaeda”
Yeah, after he ties the hands of our troops with effing RIDICULOUS Rules of Engagement.
What a testosterone-deficient, muslim jerkoff.
Being fluent in Obonics, I can interpret this:
"Al-Qaeda, schmal-Qaeda, I won't sleep until I get The Miss America Pageant to Chicago. And if that doesn't work, then I won't sleep until I get the World Ping-Pong Championship to Chicago. And if that doesn't work...."
“And when we catch them we’ll give them a great big hug!”
