On the Run: General Testifies that Al Qaeda Has Grown "Fourfold" In Last Five Years

Take a bow, Obama. We know you love applause.

"AQ and its affiliates exceeds Iran in beginning to dominate multiple countries," retired four-star Gen. Jack Keane testified.
Using a term that the Obama administration now eschews, Keane called radical Islam "the major security challenge of our generation."
...

That leads to an "unmistakable" conclusion that "our policies have failed," Keane added.
"And the unequivocal explanation is U.S. policy has focused on disengaging from the Middle East, while our stated policy is pivoting to the east," he said. "U.S. policymakers choose to ignore the very harsh realities of the rise of radical Islam. In my view, we became paralyzed by the fear of adverse consequences in the Middle East after fighting two wars. Moreover, as we sit here this morning, in the face of radical Islam, U.S. policymakers refuse to accurately name the movement as radical Islam. We further choose not to define it, nor explain its ideology, and most critical, we have no comprehensive strategy to stop it or defeat it."

Meanwhile, on Obama's Triumphant Stage of Libya, #SmartPower is having some unintended (?) but predictable results.

At least 10 people and two attackers were killed in Tuesday's attack against the luxurious Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli, Libya, a spokesman for a security division of the Ministry of Interior in Tripoli said.
Five foreigners -- one American, one French citizen, and three people from Tajikistan -- were killed in the attack, Essam al-Naas said. Five Libyans were killed.
Al-Naas said it appears the attackers were Libyans.
American contractor David Berry was among the people killed in a terrorist attack at the Corinthia Hotel in Tripoli, Libya, on Tuesday, according to Cliff Taylor, chief executive officer of Crucible, a security firm where Berry was working. The FBI is expected to open an investigation into the incident, two U.S. officials told CNN. A State Department official confirmed the death of a U.S. citizen, but would provide no further information.
...
An online group that supports ISIS said the attack was carried out in the name of Abu Anas al-Libi.
Al-Libi was an alleged al Qaeda operative accused of involvement in the bombing of U.S. embassies in Africa. He was captured by U.S. special forces in Libya. He died in a U.S. hospital this month.

I'm sure you've heard about Obama's tremendous successes in Yemen, where terrorists have overrun the capital and forced our embassy to be shuttered.

Those two shitholes spent the better part of a decade trying to destroy each other, were distracted thereby from most of their other risky external adventures, drained their respective treasuries, and fed the prime of their military-age manhood into ridiculous WWI style bloodbath attritional battles. All to the good. Let's revive that eminently sensible and useful arrangement.

Oh, and I would have quietly informed the Saudis that if they stirred any more shit, that they would be left to the mercies of whomever the eventual regional victor was, and given that both parties hate the House of Saud, it wouldn't be pretty when that happened.

70 If you are going to defeat your enemy you have to do two things :

1. Break their willingness to fight
2. Destroy their means to fight back.

If you are not going to do those two things you lose, unless you can make them afraid to fight, which is short term and temporary.

This is why the 'proportional response' is a losing strategy. Obama can't do either one or two because Obama believes the Followers of The Prophet Mohammed (maximum insult) are justified in their quest to throw off the oppression of the white man and his Christian culture.

Later, she asked me to go outside, and told me her dad had beaten her with his belt buckle, she doesn't know why. He had thrown her older sister out of a second floor window, because he had been molesting her, and considered her a prostitute. She was afraid she would be next. I went to the headmistress, and asked what we could do, and there was nothing. He was a mutawwa, and within his authority to do that. It broke my heart, so I made it a point to be as loving to that child while she was in my care as I could.

Eh, I think its more a combination. I do think that Obama is intentional weakening America. It's been standard far left dogma for a long time that much of the world's problems are caused by an overly aggressive America and we need to be reigned in.

But I think events are spinning out of control. I think Obama thought he, because he is so awesomely smart and charismatic, could dial back American power like he was controlling the temperature on a stove. What he has created is a vacuum of power that is being filled by our enemies in ways he never thought possible.

It's possible to be both evil and incompetent.

Putin could cause some truly serious trouble for the U.S. aerospace and defense sector by cutting off their supply of titanium.

The U.S. imports the overwhelming majority of its titanium, and doesn't have a strategic reserve of it any longer (thank you Bill Clinton), and most of the stuff on the global market comes from Russia.

An article at NR mades this point about AS (SPOILER ALERT if you haven't yet seen the film:

When Kyle shoots the little boy who was handed a grenade (or bomb, whatever the hell it was) by his mother, the mother rushes up to him. She doesn't check to see if he is still alive; she doesn't touch him at all. Her only concern is to pick up the grenade and kill Americans. Of course, she's already shown she is willing to sacrifice her own child to do that, but it's a little detail that I'll bet is quite true to life.

131 Obama is a freaking DSM-IV clusterf of personality disorders.

You've got a man with no real inherent abilities or intelligence molded from birth to hate America and everything it stands for.

Abandoned by his father, he has a warped sense of his own heritage, and because the truth is rather ugly, he concocts an elaborate fairy tale in which his dad is not a horrible bigamist drunk, but rather a misunderstood genius fighting the fight against the man.

He fails up and is told his entire life that he is special. Oh so special. The most special man alive. And he believes it. He is The One.

Then he gets his dream job and realizes it sucks. People expect things of him. They're not just cheering and crying in packed stadiums. He tries to get that feeling whenever he can, but mostly he is bored. Bored and angry.

In his anger he lashes out like a petulant child. He hates America so he will do petty acts of passive aggressiveness to hurt her. He likes the attention, even if it's negative. He likes seeing the nation his father fought to undermine being brought to its knees, and he thinks he's being oh so sneaky while he does it.

Still, he is unfulfilled. He is depressed. Life has no meaning. He has it all, but he is empty. So he goes to play golf. He goes to fundraise. He tries to feel something at all, but at the end of the day all he feels is the nagging, quiet voice telling him that he is a fraud.

So he lashes out some more. Again, and again. We are evil, not him! He is saving the world! Shut up voices! Shut up!

Obama's mother was a nutcase. I imagine his grandparents were too since they raised such a psycho, but who knows, maybe they were ashamed of her.

But if you want a police state, you need the police (and the military) on your side. How popular is Obama with the rank and file in either group (yes, I know he's replacing the brass with PC asskissers).

That's what I mean by incompetent. If they're plotting a coup, it's really stupid to alienate the grunts, who know damn well Obama hates them. Same with the cops. I think their old '60's hippies rhetoric trumps strategy here - it's so ingrained in their heads that the troops are illiterate thugs and the cops are pigs that they can't hide their hatred and contempt for them, although it would be wise to do so.

Perhaps they think the troops are so mindlessly, robotically obedient that they would obey the CinC if he told them to fire on US citizens. That's a bad bet.

I see your point. I'm not trying to argue that Obama is an evil genius, but I have a hard time calling him incompetent when it comes to destruction. He seems to be very good at that.

He's not really in charge, anyway. He's a figurehead. That lazy SOB didn't become President through his own efforts. Who is really behind him? I know Soros and Jarrett are. Who else? That's what I want to know. It is clearly an enemy of America, or even a consortium of enemies.

And don't forget all the Marxists and Muslims that have been carefully seeded throughout the government. They can't all be incompetent.

I disagree. If they tried that, it would start a shooting war. They want one of *us* to lose it and blow up a Federal building or the New York Times, and use that as justification for a crackdown.

Posted by: rickl at January 27, 2015 07:51 PM (sdi6R)

I should have appended:

That's why the media gets giddy every time there is a mass shooting. They want very badly to be able to link it to the Tea Party or "right wing militias".

And their reporting has probably already had the desired effect. I'm sure there are countless LIVs who believe that conservatives are dangerous extremists who are just waiting for a chance to commit mayhem. They will cheer if a crackdown comes and we are rounded up. Serves us right.

Note how Obama describes Muslim terrorism as "violent extremism". I don't think that's an accident. He is planting seeds in peoples' minds.

#199 - the problem with the malice theory is that I he isn't just bad at one thing, he is bad at everything, including things he supposedly loves, like golf and basketball. The malice theory would assume he is good at anything other than self regard.

Actually I would say the problem with Obama is vast and unearned overconfidence. He thinks something, and given his very limited life experience, he is typically wrong about that thing. Just the odds - a small child is usually wrong about most things not out of malice, but inexperience. Smart peopletell him he's wrong, and he simplyditches those people for other who will agree with whatever he says. That is why most of his close advisors are so young - he needs other inexperienced dumb shits to agree with him.

This theory explains why his stupid policies are ALSO executed so poorly.

I agree with that. One of my favorite sayings is "First-rate people hire first-rate people. Second-rate people hire third-rate people."

That means that first-rate people are confident of their abilities, and want the best people possible to work for them and carry out their policies. Second-rate people are insecure about their shortcomings, and are desperately afraid of being outshone by their underlings.

216 Eric Hoffer's book, True Believer: Thoughts on Mass Movements, is something that everyone should read. What we have here is very clearly a mass movement, and mass movements, as history has shown, led to much bloodshed and destruction in the world. A mass movement can be stopped, but it takes aggressive use of force to do so. We do not have the willingness in the west to do this at this time, just as it took a long time before people realize they absolutely had to defeat hitler and that he could not be bargained with. The libs suffer from normalcy bias, i.e., they just can't quite believe what is happening. They hear what these radicals are saying, but they down play it by saying it isn't serious, overwhelming use of force would be an over reaction. They are wrong, just as they were wrong back in 1938. the radicals have been telling us ad nauseum what they intend, but the libs think they are joking. the radicals are dead serious, and unfortunately, it's the inability to face true evil that is going to get a lot of people killed. People, you must steel your nerve and strengthen your ability to look evil in the eye without blinking. You are not wrong in what your gut is telling you. It's a dangerous time in the world, and let's hope that our leaders wake up before it's too late. the fanatics CAN win, and our leaders need to stop them. Period. End of story.
