Terrorism experts warned Congress last week that Islamist terrorist groups are expanding in complex networks across the Middle East, highlighting the evolving nature of the threat these organizations pose to the region.

Seth Jones, a national security analyst with the RAND Corporation, told the House Armed Services Committee that there has been an increase in the number of Salafi jihadist groups, particularly in North Africa and the Levant. Al-Qaeda is the largest one, and all emphasize the importance of returning to a pure Islam and believe that violent jihad is a religious duty.

Lucky for us the "lyin' king" has put all this terrorism crap to bed. Let's say, with all his free time, he tucked it in for the night and we need not worry anymore about attacks from the is-lamish folks. They are completely subdued now. Well, maybe not quite.

Yeah. And what did congress do when Obama bombed and invaded Libya ON THE SIDE OF THE TERRORISTS, without bothering to inform the people or consult congress, let alone declare war?

NATO did it, he said.

Congress did NOTHING. And of course McCain and his girlfriend just loved it. And congress will do nothing as Obama continues to help the terrorists.

Islamist terrorist groups???? Give me a BREAK!!!

Its those Tea Party folks, Constitutional Conservatives, Free Market Advocates, Pro 2nd Amendment, children and adults in wheelchairs, old people who suffer from incontinence, sick people with tubes and wires sticking out of them to keep them alive, unborn children, Elderly and wounded Vets, dogs and dog owners, people who object to having the police break into their house in the middle of the night terrorize their family after which they find that they have gone to the wrong house, which then leads to the need to find some crime has been committed by the home owner to justify the polices action, people who vocally oppose the present administration, well I could go on but I think you see my point.

Meanwhile, Congress takes testimony about growing Islamist threats in the U.s. and does nothing. The WH and Executive Branch prepare for war with the American people? Does anyone see a problem here? Certainly not the mainstream media — they think it's just peachy!

Hasn’t the hero of Benghazi outlawed the use of jihad and Islamic terrorists?

CORRECT!

Muslim terrorists expanding in the The Middle East.

"Middle East", as in the White House, Washington, DC which is located in the middle of the eastern seaboard.
