The war is over....oops davidk14: Obama Declares War on Terror Over Ben Shapiro | May 29, 2013 In a hallmark speech last week, President Obama unilaterally declared the war on terror over. The end of that war, Obama stated, meant we could return to the halcyon days… ________________________________________ 19 US Embassies to remain closed this week, as lawmakers say terror threat 'specific’ and ‘serious' August 05, 2013 The Associated Press [The] U.S. outpost closings and the travel alert were prompted in part by a series of recent Al Qaeda-led prison breaks that have freed hundreds of operatives over the last month, including one this weekend in Aleppo, Syria. Other recent breaks have been orchestrated in Iraq, Libya and Pakistan and Abu Ghraib, in Afghanistan. Maryland Rep. C.A. Dutch Ruppersberger, the top Democrat on the House Intelligence Committee, also said the intercepted threats came from "high-level people” in Al Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula. He told ABC’s “This Week” the information was about a “major attack." The administration’s announcements Friday said the Al Qaeda network might target either U.S. government or private American interests. The intelligence intercepts also prompted Britain, Germany and France to close their embassies in Yemen on Sunday and Monday. British authorities said some embassy staff in Yemen had been withdrawn "due to security concerns." Canada also announced it was closing its embassy in Dhaka, Bangladesh. ________________________________________ oops . | Politics Chat Room 26 People Chatting Similar Conversations |
