Undecimated: Al-Qaida's Won This Round--So Far
"Killing people is a means to an end for most groups," says Bruce Hoffman, director of Georgetown University's Center for Security Studies. "The terrorists' stock in trade is creation of fear ... as much the threat of violence as the act of violence itself. It's all about getting people to respond or react in a manner that the terrorists think will be beneficial to their cause." For those doubting the severity of al-Qaida's ability to terrify Americans anymore, despite a decade of war, look no further than the 19 embassies that are shuttering their operations across the Middle East and the Persian Gulf for more than a week; the worldwide travel alert; the Air Force transporting personnel from Yemen.
I get the feeling the 'Real Scandals' are consuming Team Obama and this lil 'Al-Quada' is winning BS is pure unadulterated Clinton style of Wag the Dog.
Ratt...wasn't Clinton wagging something else? Just askin :):). And I see the Chimp in Chief has cancelled his visit with Putin? If so,what is he so afraid of?
Just a Canuck trying to figure out this screwed up world.
And Kate.Nice to see somebody who knows the true meaning of "decimated" and "undecimated".
Obama and crew have successfully dodged the Stephens fiasco with flying colors. The public attention span simply is not there. If the MSM chooses to bury the issue it is done. I tried to watch the CNN feature the other night and simply shut it off. The key people involved are either dead, chirping the party line or have been hidden by reassignment.
Nothing to see here, move along.
If I was a terrorist, I'd be patient and wait for the embassies to reopen!

I also remember something about a guy named - George Zimmerman,
something about a shooter.
? Anyone remember what it was all about,
the media doesn't talk about it anymore,
that was such a long, long, time ago, and far, far away.
Oh Well,
guess I can look it up on Wii-leaks, or gun control, or someplace.
steve:
just wait for the embassies to reopen!

I guess no one thought of that..ha
NSA intercepted a 20 person conference call made by terrorist leaders, yup, I believe that, I also have a bridge fore sale.
either the terrorists are pulling Obumble's chain, or Obumbles in pulling his own chain.....erm, the electorate's chain
shuttering embassies = smart diplomacy
Do we even need to be in Yemen?
The way things are going on Earth, the only thing that can save White race is an asteroid bombardment that starts in Eurasia and ends in Africa. It will be cold for the next few years, but we are resourceful and can survive.
Otherwise India and China are adding 1 Canada a year and soon they will simply start arriving onto or shores by boatloads and no one will be able to do anything about it. At least India will. The 'new Canadian' Indians will arrive in such numbers, that they will be able to simply take land they need without asking.
If you don't believe me, just think about this number for a moment: 1.4 billion Indians. When I was a kid, it was 600 millions. Almost 3x since then (and they had audacity to whine about Bhopal).
Only nuclear carpet bombing of Asia can save our civilization as probability of necessary asteroid's arrival is close to zero.
Yeah well, as much merit as your suggestion has...that just ain't the way western civilization rolls.
tain't right, tain't wrong ...just is....

No need to be that bloodthirsty.
Just export feminism. Give them all the free TV's, & computers they want. Exile our Academics to their Nations.Set up a "free press" like ours . Make abortion a sacred ritual as here.Have the Police in those Nations adopt diversity, equity and inclusion bureau's.Mass immigration By hereditary rulers. There. Problem solved.
Right on!
Give the man a cigar without the firecracker.
Obama just needs to show everyone that not only can he rub elbows with the rich and famous, he can also get a handle on this international terrorism thing.
Of course there are threats to the US. Who is afraid of the pro-Islamist Hollywood president?
Better yet, who believes him?
And what if AQ just waits the great 0 out? a 2000 year old plan will not be derailed by a few days of closed buildings.
This smells of distraction. Always seems like when President Zero gets in over his head there is another AQ threat. What better way to deflect attention from the NSA IRS and Benghazi issues that to trump up some AQ boogeyman threat to blow something up. I call BS
