WASHINGTON (AP) - President Barack Obama's national security adviser rebuts former Vice President Dick Cheney's charge that America is less safe under the new administration.
Retired Marine Gen. James Jones says increases in defense spending, efforts to get out of Iraq and revamp the strategy for Afghanistan, and a broad campaign to repair the U.S. reputation abroad make the U.S. safer today than it has been. But, he says, no administration is perfect.

Doesn't surprise me.
AP has no problem carrying demonstrable lies, as long as they benefit the leftwing statists.
They pine for a socialist paradise.

Consider the source. He’s an Obama Toady. AP creams over his type.

Didn’t Lincoln and FDR’s terms result in war too? I wonder how big this one is going to be?

“They pine for a socialist paradise.”
Could anyone point out any “socialist” society that ever even approached a “paradise”? I keep hearing all this “socialist utopia”, “socialist paradise”, and yet everywhere this is tried, it has been a disaster by any measure.

He has a lot of guts saying that. Lets see what happens between his 1st 4 months, and the day he is impeached. I hope nothing bad happens, but it seems pretty early to make that claim.

Given that Gen. Jones was proven wrong in his opposition to a surge in Iraq, no doubt he may well be literally proven wrong in asserting that Barry has made America “safer.”

Perhaps Gen. Jones really meant that the U.S. is safer now that Gen. Jones has retired! I’d agree with that.

Are they delusional again? How can increased defense spending happen when you've cut defense spending?
I do not believe this person, this James Jones person.
