US National Security Advisor: Obama Has Made US Safer (stunning .. Gen. Jones)
AFP ^ | 5-27-09

President Barack Obama's national security advisor, James Jones, Wednesday rejected ex-vice president Dick Cheney's claim that dismantling Bush-era anti-terror policies had made Americans less safe.

"In my view, I firmly believe that the United States is not only safe but it will be more secure and the American people are increasingly safer because of the president's leadership that he has displayed consistently over the last four months, both at home and abroad," Jones said.

Jones also cited Obama's outreach to the Muslim world, including next week's major address in Egypt, renewal of U.S. alliances abroad and his plan to tackle threats as diverse as Iran's nuclear program, climate change and his forthcoming cybersecurity initiative.

The national security advisor didn't mention Cheney by name, but his remarks were a clear rejection of the rhetoric of the former vice president, who has mounted a stinging attack on Obama's national security policies

I am stunned that Gen. Jones has put on the whole 0 cloak and is publicly taking on Cheney for his solid reasoning. I really thought he was one of the good guys. Guess he's been obamanized, too ... sad.

what do you expect him to say? He’s Buttcrack’s hand picked security adviser. He’s going to spin like all the rest. But let’s wait and see once NK attacks SK and Japan and Iran starts crap with Israel and terrorists attack us. Let’s see what Jones has to say then.

Oh yes...”Obama’s outreach to the Muslim world,”...

Reach out to the muslim world, and you'll draw back a bloody stump. Unfortunately, American citizens will be the ones to suffer for Obama’s cowardice appeasement.

Safer? LOL, it ain't funny.

“Let’s see what Jones has to say then.”

He’ll be the zero’s Baghdad Bob, telling the Obamabots that they are safer now than ever because the zero is such a pussy.

This brings up a puzzling question: Do Obama advisers come into the administration stupid, or is it the close association with Obama that makes them stupid?

When terrorists attack us the next time, it will mostly likely be in a major U. S. city, largely populated by Obama voters. It’s irony.

I have not had one single night of peaceful sleep since the Fraud-in-chief got the nomination.

I did not have that problem under W.

I just have this omnipresent, terrifying “gut feeling” that I can NOT ignore.

I'm sure there must have been one or two British Generals who approved of Neville Chamberlain's outreach to Hitler too.

That diplomacy only got 60 million people killed!!

IMO, he’s “reaching out” to welcome them *in*.

We -will- be a “Muslim nation” if he can pull it off.

I guess the General missed the North Korea Nuclear Test followed by threats directed to the US.
Yep, I feel a whole lot safer. /sarc

Unreal.

A fantasy statement about a fantasy national security policy.

So Americans are supposed to trust “hope and change” kool-aid proffered up by ... Jim Jones?

Think I’ll pass thanks.
