errorism: Senate Intelligence panel chief Dianne Feinstein contradicts President Obama’s claims of terrorist threats diminishing. The FBI, meanwhile, warns of Islamist U.S. citizens attacking the homeland.
CNN’s Candy Crowley, who did so much during the second presidential debate last year to help President Obama get re-elected (defending his false claim that “I stood in the Rose Garden and I told the American people and the world that” Benghazi “was an act of terror” the day after), was shocked on Sunday when Senate Intelligence Committee Chairwoman Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., didn’t act as fellow Obama cheerleader.
“I expected to hear, ‘Oh, we’re safer!'” Crowley responded when Feinstein gave a negative answer to Crowley’s question whether the nation is safer than a year ago, or two years ago.
Feinstein pointed out that “terror is up worldwide; the statistics indicate that. The fatalities are way up … there are new bombs, very big bombs, trucks being reinforced for those bombs,” plus “more groups than ever” and “huge malevolence out there.”
That’s far removed from Obama’s boast to Jay Leno in August that “the odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident”; or his claim the same month that al-Qaida “has been broken apart and is very weak and does not have a lot of operational capacity”; or his announcement in May that America will no longer wage what he called “a boundless ‘Global War on Terror.’ “
What Feinstein warns are “more groups than ever” the president downplays as “less capable al-Qaida affiliates” who threaten only “diplomatic facilities and businesses abroad,” plus “homegrown extremists.”
