Why are we on alert today? Because al Qaeda we captured either escaped or let go

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.

Speaking of Obama and “fellow Muslims,” has anybody noticed whether or not Obama is wearing his gold jewelry during Ramadan?

"We may be winning the War on Terrorists, but..."

Umm, no. We're not. Never were. No war was ever won through purely defensive tactics. To win a war you must go on the offensive. Offensive in every sense of the word. We've been running defense since 2001, and telling the American people they must surrender their freedoms for a little bit of safety and security.

Never should have taken them prisoner to begin with. Take no prisoners when dealing with Islam.

The NSA overheard two grannies talking about a cake recipe on line and panicked.

They sure don’t seem to be too interested in letting us in on the big secret aside from telling us to panic.

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

He probably signed a classified order to leave their cell doors open.

I think the whole thing is a smokescreen to distract the public from the myriad of other failures by His Arrogance. Came up with some super double secret intelligence that cannot be shared or even explained but wants the public to trust the untrustworthy. When the Muslims start the Prophet’s Flying Pig Farm.

Several months back AARP magazine had a contest on “Name That Film” in which you hear a quote and name the film it came from.

I did well till I saw “NO PRISONERS!” I wrote Lawrence of Arabia.

No, the mental midgets at AARP wanted...ANIMAL HOUSE.

We should have tried them and executed them.

Nothing so overt. They could have been on a bus that had an odd water accident. The driver was the only one who had put on his life jacket before they pulled out on the trip.

Strangest things happen in the desert when it is 130 degrees... Just ask Fox Mulder...
