| Killing Osama bin Laden (or rather, signing off on the ongoing military operation that killed him) might have given Barack Obama a great electoral pitch, but what exactly did it accomplish for the security of the United States and its interests? Al-Qaeda is back--big time.[Snip] I wonder how much attention this incident--or for that matter, the murder last year of an American ambassador in Libya by an organised al-Qaeda attack--will be given in Mr Obama’s second inaugural address tomorrow? Al-Qaeda is no longer, of course, an organisation in the true sense at all. It is just a nom

Obama has already surrendered to al-Qaeda, he´s handed over Iraq to the Iranians and he´s in the process of surrendering Afghanistan to the Taliban.
The only people Obama is willing to attack relentlessly are law-abiding American citizens who disagree with him politically.
Barack Obama is a malignancy on the United States.

Re: "During the presidential election campaign, the mainstream media expressed almost no interest at all in the fact that an American ambassador had been killed at his post (for the first time since 1979) by a terrorist mob in Libya. In recent days, the Algerian hostage crisis – with all its implications for the rise of the international Islamist threat – has scarcely made a dent in the wall-to-wall coverage of the vituperative domestic debate over gun ownership."
This British writer does not realize that the American news media are wholly owned subsidiaries of the DNC.

If al-Qaeda is defined as the Obama administration/cabal then, yes, I would agree. They are not only our problem now but for the last four years...6 if you count from the time he first made Oprah gush like an idiot schoolgirl.

Based on some recent articles in the MSM, who we have to assume are fully collaborating with Obama, he is now out to destroy the Republican party.
Al Queda will have to wait.

Does anyone really think Obama , to whom the most beautiful sound in the world is the Islamic call to prayer, would recoil at the thought of a modern caliphate?

AlQueda is a Bush era term that Obama and the left thought they had stamped out. BinLaden hadn´t been operational since 2004 so getting rid of him meant nothing.Just like when you kill or arrest a drug lord,there´s another to take his place.
We spend billions a year on intelligence gathering and the whole Algerian thing slipped right by them.Maybe they´ve all been reassigned to smoking out right wing terror groups in this country,who they see as the real threat.Never mind that the CIA isn´t supposed to spy on American in their own country.
During the Bush years, a government whistle blower was held in the highest reverence,with special protections if they ratted someone out. Under Obama if you´re a whistle blower, like the F&F ATF agents ,you not only lose your job but afraid to leave the house.This was done to send a message to other honest government workers not to get any bright ideas about ratting Obama out on another illegal atrocity.

The Second Coming is firmly committed to prosecuting the makers of YouTube videos, and as He Himself declared from the UN: "The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam". So there, stop complaining about al-Qaeda. Bin Laden got his weak horse in place in White House, just as the rest of the world also wanted.

I believe the biggest problem for America is not al-Qaeda.
The biggest problem by far is President Obama himself!!!!!

You mean Rumsfeld was right when he said Osama was now irrelevant as an Al Qaeda operative? Don´t let that one get out.

It might seem like the androgynous fashion trend taken too far, but a Chinese company’s new ‘hairy leg’ hosiery hopes to help women ward off unwanted male attention. A photograph posted to the Shanghai-based website ChinaSMACK shows a model from the waist down wearing the on-trend stockings. A caption below touts them as the perfect ´summertime anti-pervert´ device and ´essential for young girls going out’. It does not state where shoppers can find the garment and internet searches prove fruitless. The image of the tights has triggered hundreds of responses from amused and horrified viewers. ‘Damn, so disgusting!’ commented one.

The US will engage in its first formal direct talks with the Taliban on Thursday, according to officials, in a milestone on the road to peace after more than a decade of war. The first meeting will take place in Doha, the Qatari capital, after the Taliban opened their first official overseas office and Washington dropped its long-standing demand that the movement renounce ties with al-Qaeda. "The US will have its first formal meeting with the Taliban, and indeed first meeting with the Taliban for several years, in a couple of days in Doha," a senior official with

Nato has handed over security for the whole of Afghanistan for the first time since the Taliban were ousted in 2001. At a ceremony in Kabul, President Hamid Karzai said that from Wednesday "our own security and military forces will lead all the security activities". Observers say the best soldiers in the Afghan army are up to the task but there are lingering doubts about some. International troops will remain in Afghanistan until the end of 2014, providing military back-up when needed. The ceremony came shortly after a suicide bomb attack in western Kabul killed three employees of the Afghanistan

Undercover video shot in May by a conservative activist shows two corporate distributors of free cell phones handing out the mobile devices to people who have promised to sell them for drug money, to buy shoes and handbags, to pay off their bills, or just for extra spending cash. The ´Obama phone,´ which made its ignominious YouTube debut outside a Cleveland, Ohio presidential campaign event last September, is a project of the Federal Communications Commission´s ´Lifeline´ program, which makes land line and mobile phones available to Americans who meet low-income requirements. Lifeline was a $2.19 billion program in 2012.

Amid a steady rise of backlash, Edward Snowden, the 29-year-old former National Security Agency contractor who was the source of a spring of leaks about the agency´s surveillance methods, conducted a live chat on The Guardian´s website Monday morning. Judging from some of the pointed questions he´s been asked and the reaction to newly leaked revelations over the past few days, it´s clear that much of the sympathy and support Snowden had built up for his early exposures is eroding. Many Americans supported his decision to leak information about a pair of National Security Agency surveillance programs, which, he detailed, gathered information

As NewsBusters reported last week, former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin called out vulgarian comedian Bill Maher for referring to her Down Syndrome son Trig as "retarded." On ABC´s The View Monday, co-host Barbara Walters astonishingly defended Maher saying, "I don´t think he intended it to be mean-spirited" (video follows with transcript and commentary): WHOOPI GOLDBERG: At a recent standup show in Las Vegas, comedian Bill Maher apparently called Sarah Palin’s five-year-old developmentally-challenged son Trig retarded. And Sarah blasted him on Twitter as a bully. Is that, is it, is he a bully? Is he a bad, what is he?

Five months into his second term, allies and enemies are as confounded as ever about who President Obama really is. Is he the dyed-in-the-wool liberal that his biggest supporters and critics suggest? Or is he a pragmatic, even cynical, politician who cares more for his popularity than taking risks for his ideological goals or living up to his rhetoric? Even in the short period since his reelection, Obama has provided evidence to support conflicting interpretations. His efforts to pass immigration reform, the unsuccessful push for stricter gun controls and tax hikes on high earners buttress the case for Obama-as-ideologue.

Jeb Bush says he’s not worried that his work toward comprehensive immigration reform and his ties to the GOP establishment will alienate conservatives and negatively impact a potential 2016 presidential campaign, referring to critics as “the chirpers.” “If I decide to run for office again, it will be based on what I believe, and it will be based on my record,” the former Florida governor said in an interview with the Christian Broadcasting Network’s David Brody. “And that record was one of solving problems completely from a conservative prospective.” Bush (R) pointed to his conservative

Is Marco Rubio, R-Fla., getting played by Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.? During his interview with ABC’s Jonathan Karl this morning, Rubio didn’t even seem to understand what that meant. “Are you being played by the Democrats?” asked Karl. “Is Chuck Schumer playing you?” “I don’t — I quite frankly, I don’t even know what that means,” Rubio replied. “Is he using you?” Karl continued. “Is he using you to try to accomplish something that the Democrats want and is not — not a conservative bill?” Rubio responded that immigration reform was a bi-partisan issue that “all Americans

Charlie Rose last night asked President Obama his new Syria policy. The president first objected to it being called a new policy. "I´m not sure you can characterize this as a new policy. This is consistent with the policy that I´ve had throughout," he said. Obama then explained the goal is regional stability, and especially in Syria. "Really, what we´re trying to do is take sides against extremists of all sorts and in favor of people who are in favor of moderation, tolerance, representative government, and over the long-term, stability and prosperity for the people of Syria," said Obama.

Marco Rubio. Paul Ryan. The IRS. Illegal immigration. And fraud to the tune of billions.. Now there’s a combustible mix. Let’s start with the IRS, illegal immigration and fraud. We’ll come back in a minute to Senator Rubio and Congressman Ryan. For those who came in late, a year before the IRS scandals burst onto the scene in early May of 2013, an alert investigative reporter for WTHR-Indianapolis (Channel 13), Bob Segall by name, produced a stunning piece of journalism. Segall’s video report is found here and we will quote from his story for the basics.
