Anti-terror campaigner: ‘Boston was a reality check for this administration who sold us a lie’

In an exclusive interview with The Daily Caller, president and founder of Act! for America Brigitte Gabriel forcefully argued that the terrorist attack on the Boston Marathon is evidence of a fundamental breakdown in the U.S. intelligence system.

“We have a problem in our country when a faith-based group that accounts for less than two percent of the American population is responsible for almost 85 percent of terrorist attacks and plots against the United States,” Gabriel said. ”That’s a problem that our nation has to address. Our government was selling the lie that there is nothing to worry about, everything is fine.”

“The brothers in Boston — we did not foil their attack because of great intelligence on the part of our Homeland Security with all the eavesdropping that they are doing,” Gabriel continued. “The FBI was taking their pictures and showing it to everybody: ‘Hey, have you seen these guys before?’ … You interviewed these guys. You got intelligence from the Russians.”

Gabriel also expressed her frustration with the Obama administration’s handling of radical Islam .

“Boston was a reality check for this administration, who sold us a lie that Al Qaeda is finished, the War on Terror is over, you know we have this whole thing under control. It was a reality check to the American people to realize how fast our life can change and how fast we can come back to a September 11th feeling of fear, of helplessness, of ‘Oh my God, we were attacked again,’” Gabriel said. “How could this happen? After all our president told us ‘the war is over’? It was a reality check to the American public to realize that while we have forgotten about our enemy, our enemy has not forgotten about us.”

Nothing ever goes away. It just recycles and here we are again.

Anyone wanting on or off this list...well, you know.

Additionally the so-called moderate muslims who did recognize their associates didn’t step forward to identify them.

When our son first wsent to Seoul 3 years ago to teach English, Ifeared for him because of the nitwits running the North. Now, I think he may be much safer there than in the USA because of the treasonous, lying scumbags who are running the country.

Th people running the war on terrorists moved out of the White House long time ago

and the terrorists moved into the WH immediately therafter.

Only 85% ??? Who comprises the other 15% of actual terrorist acts in America? Does picketing in front of Planned Parenthood count?

According to this administration, we are the enemy, terrorists are not and many good Americans simply can't wrap their heads around that.

Thank the Lord, but if it was 270 dead at Boston we’d be in a much different place right now.

THAT is a fantastic graphic. Isn’t it awe-inspiring how a few well chosen words speak volumes?

There are inifinitely more ‘ifs’ than ‘thens.’

Absolutely! That’s one reason I collect pithy quotes. Another value in collecting quotes is it teaches me how long people have known it.

You first problem was believing anything this administration says. Stopped listening to Obama completely after the second time I heard him speak. Only listened to him twice because I gave him the benefit of the doubt and a second chance. Why anyone would listen to him more then twice, is beyond me. Everything he states is a lie. Everything ! When he says Al Qeada is finished, the truth is Al Qeada is now stronger then ever, because he personally made a martyr out of Osama Bin Laden.
