Defeating vs. Flaring Terrorism

CONservative Spin:

“The president has a post-9/11 mindset; liberals don’t get it. 9/11 showed us the threat, and our decisive action in Afghanistan and Iraq responded to it by toppling tyrants and disrupting terrorist networks. It is no coincidence that we haven’t had another attack on our soil since we overthrew the Taliban.”

International terrorist attacks are up across the world. Iraq is sinking into a civil war, after we’ve suffered more than 28,000 casualties and spent more than $465 billion. The administration has alienated Muslim opinion across the world. The bipartisan 9/11 Commission gives the administration failing grades on homeland security. This country is less secure not more. It is hard to imagine a more complete failure of leadership.
