    What we learned from the recent release of cables and emails is that obama was making that claim AS HE WAS GETTING WARNINGS FROM DIPLOMATS OVERSEAS THAT AL QUAIDA WAS RESURGING.

    That was the President. He cut off the head of the snake. He has killed several top Al Qaeda members. As yet though, he has not proclaimed "Mission Accomplished" like the invisible man Bush.

    Obama has been claiming that Al Quaida has been decimated or that it is on its heels.

    He is either ignorant and incompetent or a liar and deceiver.

    Neither is what I want in a president.

    He meant it just as he stated it, that's why he cut it out of his rhetoric for a while. I was very surprised that he brought it back yesterday. He used to state that the leadership had been decimated but it has morphed because he knows the media wont call him out on it.

    If you're no longer catching and questioning the enemy, you can't possibly know their strength.

  • I think that was Obama...

    and he meant that huge parts of the leadership had been arrested or killed and it greatly harmed their ability to organize large scale international attacks...

    which seems to be the case...

    you do know that the terrorists that attacked in Libya were not al quaida, right?

    what was the last al quaida attack?

  • The same one who proclaimed that the economy is recovering.

    OBAMA-FAIL

    I don't know. Obviously somebody who doesn't know what he's talking about.
