Obama Omits al Qaeda Claim From Stump Speech (Subtle admission?)
Fox Nation ^ | October 17, 2012 | Staff

This may be a big development out of the Libya exchange last night. A couple of weeks ago in the President was still saying al-Qaeda is “on the road to defeat” -- despite the terror attack in Libya. Yet, today in Iowa the President dropped the al-Qaeda on the run part – and just said the bin Laden is dead part…

“Four years ago, I told you we’d end the war in Iraq, and I did. I said we’d end the war in Afghanistan, and we are. I said we’d refocus on the people who actually attacked us on 9/11 -- and today, al Qaeda is on the run and Usama bin Laden is dead. Four years ago, I promised to cut taxes for middle-class families, and we have, by $3,600.”

-- President Obama campaigning in Miami on Thursday

“You know, four years ago I told you we’d end the war in Iraq, and I did. I said we’d end the war in Afghanistan, and we are. I said we’d focus on the terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11, and we have, and Bin Laden is dead. Four years ago I promised to cut taxes for middle-class families, and we have by $3,600.”

-- President Obama campaigning in Mount Vernon, Iowa today.

More rubbish. The terrorists who actually attacked us on 9/11 were killed in the planes along with their victims. Our real enemy is Islamist fascism, which not only thrives on Obama's watch but benefits from his collusion in such matters as insisting that Major Hassan's terror attack was "workplace violence", or telling the UN that "the future does not belong with those who slander the prophet of Islam." And so on ad nauseam.

Here’s what I think his motivation is (besides CYA).

While the bad guys in the WH are scrambling to deny their cover up and misdirection, I believe there is another long-standing related issue with this.

IMO Obama has as one of his main goals: improving the image of Islam around the world and helping its expansion.

Of course the Taliban, Al Qaeda and other fanatics keep getting in the way by killing ambassadors and shooting 14 year old girls.

Look at the apology tour, the support of the muslim brotherhood, moslems in the top of the state department advisors and the WH. Add his comments about the film for 14 days, even after he knew is was a terrorist attack..

The calling of the Ft. Hood terrorist attack, workplace violence, is just another outlandish example.

Stevie Wonder can see the pattern. Any decent reporter could make this into a headline story if they had the balls.

Put an end to this with the November vote. MANY personnel changes need to take place in January on a significant scale. We have enough problems with foreign enemies, to keep allowing DOMESTIC ENEMIES to run our government.

BENGHAZI, Libya—The founder of Libya’s Islamist militia Ansar al-Sharia was at the U.S. consulate compound during the deadly attack here, Libyan officials say, but he remains free a week after those allegations were disclosed to Libyan political leaders and U.S. investigators.

Ahmed Abu Khattalah—who current Libyan officials and former Islamic militants describe as propagating an al Qaeda-style ideology—was seen during the Sept. 11 attack at the diplomatic mission where two of the four Americans died, said two senior Libyan security officials familiar with the investigation.
