Why are we on alert today? Because al Qaeda we captured either escaped or let go
NY Post ^ | 8/4/13 | PAUL SPERRY

Why are we on high alert today, after al Qaeda was ‘beaten’? Because US inaction and massive jailbreaks have freed thousands of terrorists

We may be winning the War on Terrorists, but increasingly we’re losing the terrorists we’ve captured on the battlefield, dooming us to fight them all over again.

The metric the Obama adminstration uses to measure success in the war is the number of al Qaeda operatives and other high-value terrorists killed or captured.

“Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat,” the president said last fall, “and Osama bin Laden is dead.” Obama also said the upper ranks of al Qaeda have been “decimated.”

But how many have escaped or been released from custody? Answer: far too many. And now our enemy is making a comeback.

I would tend to agree with this.

Not that I have any information on the escapes, but there were a (bunch) of terrorists who escaped recently.

All of whom, probably, are looking to lash out.

I don’t think any of the warnings, are bogus, personally.

We should have tried them and executed them. Then it would have been end of the story.

Obama’s policy of appeasing his fellow muslims has finally paid off bigtime for Al Qaeda.

Ben Ghazi must not be a fudgepacker or he would have been invited to the party.

This morning on Fox&Friends, Mike Jerrick commented that alQaeda was probably celebrating that they got the US to close 20 embassies.

[Were the closings an over-reaction to counter the lack of response to the Benghazi attack? Or is there really something in the works? It seems strange that intel knows something is up but they don't seem to know when or where.]

If they are going to do some thing they should hit the NSA or the White House and leave us the hell alone. Is Obama hanging with Reggie Love today, shooting hoops n sheet?

Has our ‘terrorist sympathizer’ Muslim President made his dream come true by releasing more GITMO terrorists yet? And.. Where’s the Blind Sheik? I want PROOF he’s still in custody.

If I were a terrorist group, whether people are in the buildings or not, I would blow them up so you will never know when I will do it again.
We shall see.

The alert is just to distract the public from the criminal administrations crimes.

Period.

It was made up so the talking heads could have something to chatter about that wasn’t embarrassing to these thugs.

I remember having conversations w/ relatives who were WWII vets. They told stories on how they “ensured” that they would be taking no prisoners.
