Remember when President Obama told the world that Al Qaeda was close to being completely defeated?
“The president has indicated and will indicate again that he rejects the notion of global war on terrorism, which is an amorphous definition that applies to a tactic.”.-White House
Do you think the 2nd Amendment will be destroyed by the Biden Administration?(2)
He was wrong.
According to an Associated Press story, the House and Senate intelligence committees have concluded that the “worldwide terror threat is growing and changing,” and that Americans are not as safe as they use to be.
“Terror is up worldwide,” said Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., chairman of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence. “The statistics indicate that. The fatalities are way up.”
The pre-911 mindset that many Americans fear the United States government has adopted in dealing with Islamic fundamentalism, may have been realized, now that intelligence agencies can now confirm that terrorism is on the rise.
Rep. Mike Rogers (R-MI), chairman of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, echoed what Feinstein said during their joint appearance on CNN’s Sunday morning political program, “State of the Nation.”
Rogers also suggested that public scrutiny over U.S. intelligence work, brought on by recent disclosures about the efforts of the National Security Agency and others, has hurt anti-terror efforts.
“We’re fighting amongst ourselves here in this country about the role of our intelligence community,” he said. “That is having an impact on our ability to stop what is a growing number of threats. Our intelligence community isn’t the bad guys.”Rogers also said terrorists are adopting the idea that “maybe smaller events are OK” and still might achieve their goals.-AP
