Tuesday marks the 12th anniversary of the day that President George W. Bush received the infamous Presidential Daily Briefing titled “Bin Laden Determined to Strike in U.S.” As embassy officials are warned to flee Yemen today due to a terrorist threat, it is renewing a debate and discussion about just what the terrorist threat against the U.S. entails following bin Laden’s death — and what it means for America’s struggle to combat terror.

Unfortunately, the overall discussion about terrorism may wind up buried in the political maneuvering already taking place inside the Beltway. Republicans are already lashing out at the Obama administration over the embassy closures, including Rep. Peter King (R-NY) saying, “Al Qaeda is in many ways stronger than it was before 9/11.” While this is demonstrably false, Fox News has been aiding the cause, freaking out over the closures and yet simultaneously pushing the idea that President Obama is exaggerating the threat to improve his own standing.

irony alert on that last paragraph.


Then remember. This was one of 6 warnings that Chimpy ignored.
