Yes, but casting the post-9/11 effort as a “War on Terror” was a terrible mistake. It had no defined end-game and allowed the Democrats to flip-flop on their commitments to national defense. He’d have been better off declaring War on Al Qaeda & threatening Saudi Arabia, Afghanistan & Pakistan for their continued support of that outfit.
He's made it tough to be tough on terror because he's bowed down to every raghead in the Middle East with his Cairo speech last year.
The diplomat probably knew he wasn't going to be charged because this White House is looking out for Jews, Conservatives and Tea Party Patriots. After all, we're a much bigger threat than some Muslim guy with his shoe set on fire on an airliner.
HIndsight is a pretty nice tool Too bad as we discovered exactly who was responsible early on we did not have all the information at hand...that said...they were 99% Saudi and Saudi Arabia is LUCKY we didn’t turn their land into glass. Too bad we need their oil.
