Threat to U.S. embassies appears al Qaeda-linked: lawmaker

"The chairman of the House of Representatives Foreign Affairs Committee said al Qaeda appears to be behind a threat that has prompted several U.S. embassies to close on Sunday.

 

CBS News reported the embassy closings were tied to U.S. intelligence about an al Qaeda plot against American diplomatic posts in Muslim countries in the Middle East and elsewhere."    [Reuters]

 Hmmmmmm ...... what happened?   I seem to recall just a couple weeks ago hearing these soothing words from Dear Leader......  [clipper]

"President Obama said Thursday that al Qaeda is nearly defeated and the war on terrorism has changed since he took office, and that demands a broad rethink that includes scaling down drone attacks, transferring detainees from Guantanamo Bay and revisiting the 2001 congressional resolution that set the country on perpetual war footing."     [May 23, 2013 - Washington Times]

Further evidence (as if you needed more !) that this President is either an idiot or is intentionally leading us down a primrose path.  I believe the later.     [clipper]
