Still out there and growing -- al Qaeda on the rebound, experts say
CNN ^ | Dec 28, 2013 | Ashley Fantz

Hasn't the line for years from the U.S. government and its allies been that al Qaeda is on the run, that its fiercest fighting ability has been weakened by U.S. strikes?

That truth is far more complex, of course. The terror group's manpower has increased in recent years, it has gained control of more territory in North Africa and the Middle East and is taking a different approach to death, according to top lawmakers privy to high-level intelligence and experts who have observed al Qaeda's activities since September 11.

"Al Qaeda on the run" was just another lie told by Obama and his administration... and the gullible American public believed them.

Sooner or later the world will come to the conclusion that Islam is an evil ideology which must be eliminated from the face of the earth.

“Feinstein spoke generally of “a real displaced aggression in this very fundamentalist jihadist Islamic community, and that is that the West is responsible for everything that goes wrong and that the only thing that’s going to solve this is Islamic sharia law and the concept of the caliphate.”

OBAMA’S FAULT 100%... he owns it... eats it and lives it! He is branded for eternity with their evil... because their evil is his evil.

Ann Coulter was right: “we should invade their countries, kill their leaders and convert them to Christianity.”

Or maybe just nuke the hell out of them.

Most of the time these groups aren’t really Al Qaeda.

They’re Salafist, Takfiri...

Just that if those words are used people don’t understand them, so it’s easier to say “Al Qaeda” even if they really aren’t.

just nuke the hell out of them.

We could do the Neutron Dance, and then send a few million of our illegal aliens to occupy the cities and become land owners/farmers.

Whatever you call them, they are a bunch of Islamic terrorists determined to destroy the Western culture and turn the world into an “Islamic paradise” — of course first they have to kill millions of people, which they are plotting to do.

Al Qaeda declared war on the US in 1998, while Clinton was President. President Bush beat them into the ground. Obama surrendered 5 years ago. Is anyone surprised they are recovering?

Obama takes swipe at Congress over Guantanamo

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3106054/posts

“President Barack Obama used his signing Thursday of the 2014 Defense Authorization Act to take a swipe at Congress for continuing to impede his efforts at closing the detention facility at the U.S. military base in Guantanamo Bay, Cuba. “

Obama set a date when the war was over. No one ever won a war by doing that. Some wars in history have gone on intermittently for over a hundred years. But apparently, the charm of Obama and few scrapes here in there, a few Hellfire missiles over there, and it’s all over. Unfortunately, our enemy doesn’t pay attention to wishful thinking of self-serving politicians.

Yeah, they are a mixed bag of cut throat doofuses. And you mean the Kenyan even has to lie about who the enema, enemy is? And he says the crowd is growing? Does that mean he’s also been lying about how many he’s droned? I’m having trouble with the concept of a growing enemy force when the Kenyan claims to keep taking out their Number two guy. Even the Krauts and Japs couldn’t produce force growth in the face of the 8th air force and its friends. Those recruiter tables down at the Casbah must really put on a heckuva show. Probably giving away pens and flying carpets, maybe pics of virgin goats?

What rebound? We’re arming them, and are their best buds in several theaters. They’ve never been down?

On the run? Perhaps to America where they’ll fit right in with this administration’s plans.
