As for Petraeus, he is the man of the hour \u2026 and killing him would alter the war\u2019s path\u201d in Afghanistan. <\/p>\n<p>Administration officials said Friday the Obama-Petraeus plot was never a serious threat.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I guess Obama had even bin Laden fooled that he is more competent than Bite Me Biden. While I certainly won&#8217;t argue that Biden isn&#8217;t completely unprepared to lead this country, I&#8217;d ask how anyone could think that Obama is any more prepared for the challenges of fighting terrorism than Biden ever was?<\/p>\n<p>Afghanistan was such a straight forward fight, it&#8217;s hard to imagine how anyone could turn it into a giant cluster fuck in a few short years like this administration has done. I mean, how could they screw it up more than the Bush Administration had already?<\/p>\n<p>I guess bin Laden believed all of the Nobel Prize shit and the rally in Berlin hype like most of the American voting public believed it. It&#8217;s difficult to imagine Biden screwing the war against terrorism more than Obama has already. I&#8217;m sure it&#8217;s possible, but it&#8217;s still hard to figure.<\/p>\n<p>So the quote from &#8220;the administration official&#8221; that the plot was never a serious threat is true, but not in the way he meant. It wasn&#8217;t a serious threat because even if they&#8217;d succeeded none of our national security would have changed and we&#8217;d still be just as screwed in either case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Washington Post reports that according to some of the recently de-classified documents that were gathered &hellip; <a title=\"Focusing on our weaknesses\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=29159\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Focusing on our weaknesses<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[46,7],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-29159","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-barack-obama","category-terror-war"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29159","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=29159"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/29159\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=29159"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=29159"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=29159"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
