DISTRACTING AL QAEDA TERROR THREAT PLAYED DOWN – NOW OBAMA CAN PLAY GOLF


By: Eric Odom
August 12, 2013




Has America been played once again? Has team Obama pulled off another epic episode of “distract and divert”? Could be, as US diplomats return to work and al Qaeda…what al Qaeda?

It strikes us as incredibly odd, that almost all our diplomatic posts that were closed because of a supposedly serious and credible terror threat are now reopening, back in business, just a week after an emergency was declared and they were abruptly shuttered. And why shuttered? Because, if you recall, our intelligence agencies, we were told, had picked up indications of the most imminent, the most dire, the most credible terror threat since 9/11. Remember, we heard intelligence officials, lawmakers, and media outlets breathlessly warning of potential trouble from al Qaeda.

Well, what a difference a week makes. Without explanation as to what’s changed, the State Department basically declares all clear, and opens the doors of our diplomatic posts, many of them in the Muslim world. So, what happened? Did our eavesdroppers listen in on another conference call in which the terror plotters said they were standing down? Did the terrorists call off their pending attacks because their permit to blow up Westerners expired? Did al Qaeda leaders do like President Obama and go on vacation?
