Jim Jones was one of the few Obama appointments that Republicans liked...

....even Sean Hannity, of all people, said it was a good hire.



But I bet Sean and the other mouth-breathers aren't saying that now:

National Security Adviser Says President Obama Is Having Greater Success Taking Terrorists Out of Commission Than Bush Did

Responding to criticism from former Vice President Cheney that President Obama is making the nation more vulnerable to terrorism, the president’s National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.), told ABC News in an exclusive interview that actually the reverse is true: President Obama’s greater success with international relations has meant more terrorists put out of commission.

“This type of radical fundamentalism or terrorism is a threat not only to the United States but to the global community,” Jones said. “The world is coming together on this matter now that President Obama has taken the leadership on it and is approaching it in a slightly different way – actually a radically different way – to discuss things with other rulers to enhance the working relationships with law enforcement agencies – both national and international."

Jones said that “we are seeing results that indicate more captures, more deaths of radical leaders and a kind of a global coming-together by the fact that this is a threat to not only the United States but to the world at-large and the world is moving toward doing something about it.”

The former Marine General didn't provide any specific numbers to back up his claim, but he said “there is an increasing trend and I think we seen that in different parts of the world over the last few months for sure.” He added that he was not “making a tally sheet saying we are killing more people, capturing more people than they did -- that is not the issue.”

That sound you hear is right-wing heads exploding left and right. The man who worked for both Bush and Obama's National Security Apparatus has now said that Obama is having more success at taking out the terrorists.


Suck on that, Dick Cheney.

2. Oh noes...he wants to "arrest the terrorists" - I'll bet freeper heads are exploding!

"...to discuss things with other rulers to enhance the working relationships with law enforcement agencies – both national and international." (emphasis mine)

Senator Kerry was raked over the coals by the right-wing noise machine when he talked about working with international Law Enforcement. Surprise, surprise - it's working.
