The Obama administration's decision to shutter nearly two dozen U.S. diplomatic posts on Sunday has given jihadists something to celebrate — a sense that America still sees them as a serious threat.
Despite the plot being thwarted, many supporters of al-Qaida and other terror groups believe the very fact that President Barack Obama was forced to shutter embassies throughout the Middle East and Africa was a victory in itself, according to The New York Times.
"God is great! America is in a condition of terror and fear from al-Qaida," wrote one jihadist in an online forum, according to the Times. "The mobilization and security precautions are costing them billions of dollars. We hope to hear more of such psychological warfare, even if there are no actual jihadi operations on the ground."
And while lawmakers initially lauded the move as an appropriate response to a credible threat, some officials are now questioning whether it made America look weak in the war against terrorism. Rep. Louie Gohmert of Texas went so far as to say the move made the United States look like "a bunch of cowards."
Others, meanwhile, wonder whether there was enough evidence to indicate an imminent terror plot, especially after Obama's assertions that al-Qaida had been rendered practically impotent.
"The impression the administration left was that al-Qaida was dead or close to dead," Bruce Riedel, a former Central Intelligence Agency case officer and a Brookings Institution scholar, told the Times. "In which case, why are we so worried about a conversation between two al-Qaida leaders?"

Against mounting evidence to the contrary, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., appeared on CNN’s “New Day” Wednesday and repeated the Obama administration line that al-Qaida is but a shell of its former self.
Obama GAVE them MANPADs and HELLFIRE missles.
Guess what else.

“God is great! America is in a condition of terror and fear from Al Qaeda,” wrote one jihadist in an online forum. Another one rejoiced: “The mobilization and security precautions are costing them billions of dollars.
This thought is understandable and, in part, true. The way every two-bit government entity in the nation lined up with hands outstretched to receive every last possible cent doled out for "Homeland Security" HAS (and continues to) cost us billions while making the nation "appear" to live "in a condition of terror and fear from Al Qaeda"
Celebration Time!!!! Barack Obama Tells Us “Al Qaeda Has Been Decimated”
by Ulsterman on August 8, 2013 with 3 Comments in News
Hmmm….just a year ago Barack Obama was travelling across the nation puffing up his little chest and declaring he had decimated Al Qaeda. Since that time Al Qaeda affiliates have murdered an American ambassador and three others, and most recently, forced the United States to close several embassies across the globe in fear of…Al Qaeda. Remember how much grief George W. Bush took for his “Mission Accomplished” moment? Well, how is this video footage any different? In fact, this video represents but one of many times Barack Obama repeated this claim. Sad times for America folks. Sad – and dangerous…
Detroit Dead, Al-Qaeda Alive.
Well of course it did, you stupid $hits.
The proper response would have been a company of Marines and a Spectre gunship on station for the weekend.
Yes he does. Its the one with that evil capitalistic, slave owning USA that has to be brought down to its knees so that the other nations can feel secure and reach the great potential that awaits them. At least that is what he has been taught and told by such as Frank Marshall Davis, his mother, Bill Ayers and his holier than anyone pastor ever since he was a baby. Destroying America is a religion to him. Forget that at your own peril. Jarrett and Axelrod are true Marxists reinforcing his beliefs and guiding him along the pathway to totalitarian Utopia.
“’the move made the United States look like ‘a bunch of cowards.’”
Nah. It made our LEADERS look like a bunch of treasonous bastards.
Osama Bin Laden would be so happy. obama is voluntarily getting us out of the Middle East. I feel for Israel.
