National Security: The president, his spokesman and the secretary of state claim we're safer than ever, while their intelligence chief warns terrorism has reached record levels. Believe the one who's lied the least.
The man who told us, "If you've got health insurance and you like your doctor, you like your plan, you can keep your doctor, you can keep your plan," and who denied he drew a red line on Syrian chemical weapons, recently told us we've been "overinflating" what the Islamic State does. Like its mass beheadings of Christians and burning alive fellow Muslims in cages.
In the same vein, Secretary of State John Kerry, who voted for the Iraq War before he voted against it, testified to Congress last week that "we are actually living in a period of less daily threat to Americans and to people in the world ... than through the last century."
Someone must have forgotten to tell Kerry the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks occurred in the 21st century.
According to White House press secretary Josh Earnest, who last year contended that Obama wasn't really talking about IS when he called them "a JV team" of terrorists, Kerry has "the evidence on his side" because the U.S. "has prevented ISIL from being able to operate comfortably in Iraq and in Syria."
That falls short of great wartime rallying cries. Just imagine FDR or Churchill vowing to "prevent the Nazis from operating comfortably in France and Poland."Read the rest of the story HERE.
