Shrug: Obama Says Benghazi Attack Isolated Incident, Localized Threat

 BREITBART.COM 1 Hour Ago Shrug: Obama Says Benghazi Attack Isolated Incident, Localized Threat by  Ben Shapiro by  Ben Shapiro 23 May 2013, 6:42 PM PDT post a comment First, Obama stated that "the core of al Qaeda in Afghanistan and Pakistan is on the path to defeat … They did not direct the attacks in Benghazi or Boston." This is a bizarre spin, considering that the Benghazi attackers were from Ansar al-Shariah, a terrorist group  directly affiliated  with al Qaeda, and that Ansar al-Shariah is a highly organized local terrorist group. In any case, al Qaeda is an umbrella organization working with dozens of terrorists groups around the world. Obama continued trying to claim that Benghazi was an isolated incident, despite the fact that the terrorist attack there was merely the latest in a long line, and very similar to terrorism from Iraq to Afghanistan. He said, "We'll face more localized threats like what we saw in Benghazi … in which local operatives – perha...

Obama Administration Refuses to Label London Attack as Terrorism

 THE FOUNDRY 2 Hours Ago Obama Administration Refuses to Label London Attack as Terrorism by  Daniel Kochis Daniel Kochis May 23, 2013 at 4:00 pm Newscom Yesterday's appalling attack on a London street in the middle of the day, which left a British solider dead, was a barbaric act of terrorism perpetrated by Islamist fundamentalists. British Prime Minister David Cameron acknowledged the motivations behind yesterday's cowardly act by  saying : This country will be absolutely resolute in its stand against violent extremism and terror. We will never give in to terror—or terrorism—in any of its forms. Second, this view is shared by every community in our country. This was not just an attack on Britain—and on our British way of life. It was also a betrayal of Islam—and of the Muslim communities who give so much to our country. There is nothing in Islam that justifies this truly dreadful act. We will defeat violent extremism by standing together. In stark contrast, the Obama Ad...

 NEWS BUSTERS 52 Minutes Ago Andrea Mitchell: 'More Than Any of Its Predecessors,' Obama Administration Has Targeted Journalists by  Scott Whitlock Longtime MSNBC host Andrea Mitchell on Thursday lashed out at the Obama administration, complaining that " more than any of its predecessors in recent years [they have], gone after journalists."  The usually Obama-friendly journalist complained that the White House "has not" challenged journalists in a restrained way, but "has done it in a very broad, sweeping way as we saw with the Associated Press and also with Fox News." [See video below. MP3 audio  here .] In another segment, Mitchell skeptically commented on the President's renewed effort to close Guantanamo Bay: "But do we have a solution yet, first of all, for those, for whom there is no place to go and who cannot be brought to trial?"
