President Obama entered the White House believing that the "war on terror" was a misguided overreaction driven by political fear, and his government even stopped using the term. Seven years later Mr. Obama is presiding over a global jihadist revival that now threatens the American homeland more than at any time since the attacks of September 11, 2001.
That's the distressing lesson of the recent spate of terror bombings that this week arrived at a center for the disabled in San Bernardino, California. FBI Director James Comey said Friday that his agency is now investigating Wednesday's massacre of 14 people as an act of terrorism and that the two Muslim killers showed "indications of radicalization."
Mr. Comey added that while there is no evidence so far that the killers were part of a larger terror cell or plot, there are some indications of potential foreign terror "inspiration." The latter would have to mean Islamic State or al Qaeda, perhaps through the Internet.
The FBI director said more than once that the investigation is in the early stages, but he deserves support for speaking frankly about the evidence and dangers. Every instinct of this Administration, starting with the President, has been to minimize the terror risk on U.S. soilâperhaps because it contradicts Mr. Obama's political belief that all we have to fear is fear of terrorism itself.
The President made this explicit in his May 23, 2013 speech at National Defense University in which he said Americans should move past the country's post-9/11 war footing and compared the Islamist terror threat to "many forms of violent extremism in our history." Few speeches in presidential history have been repudiated so quickly by events.

Yup. Truth.
Show that The New Yorker must have a lot of kooky readers to keep buying garbage like that.
The National Enquirer is more truthful.
I recall hearing about the end of Richard Nixon’s administration. It’s said that, at the end when things were closing in on him, they removed the ‘nuclear football’ to a safe location to prevent him from launching a strike against anyone in a move of desperation.
Perhaps...we should be considering doing the same to Obama.
he will do that until we are dead or converted as all muslims in the end..one cannot even converse with them about the falsehoods of Islam..ie, there is a beam from noah’s ark with all the prophets name on it with Mohammads on the top..lie..
many more things that the imans have lied to them for proof to their minions..
he is saying to himself, damn they didn’t get more,they were assigned to hit several places, I will have to report the failure to the ayatollah ...
when he boils the horns will pop out like the roach peeling off the man suit in men in black movie..lol
He is a queer and the wife does not look female.

Excellent.
Obama is part of the Muslim plan.
“.....refusing to release suspectsâ names if theyâre Muslim-sounding....”
They can’t let people do this otherwise someone will ask the obvious question, eventually - something like: “So, then, what about Barack Hussein Obama?”
It would get confusing for Big Media at that point.....
