Hagel: IS is bigger threat than AQ

Secretary of Defense Chuck Obvious told the Pentagon press that ISIS/ISIL/Islamic State is more dangerous than al Qaeda ever was according to Stars & Stripes, that was in case no noticed that al Qaeda never had an army with tanks and jeeps and stuff.

The Islamic State, which has taken over much of Iraq since June, “is as sophisticated and well-funded as any group that we have seen. They’re beyond just a terrorist group. They marry ideology [with] a sophistication of strategic and tactical military prowess. They are tremendously well-funded. Oh, this is beyond anything that we’ve seen,” Hagel told reporters at the Pentagon Thursday.

The Pentagon chief described the group as an “imminent threat” and warned Americans not to be complacent just because the militants are fighting far from the United States.

“I doubt if there were many people that would have thought there was much of a threat [to the homeland] the day before 9/11,” he said.

So, the US is less safe because of the way this administration has fought the war against terror? See, we were told that for every terrorist we killed ten more popped up in their place. this administration has done it’s best to stop killing terrorists and that plan isn’t working.

“Jim Foley’s murder was another tragic demonstration of the ruthless, barbaric ideology” of the Islamic State, [Secretary Obvious] said.

Boy, he sure has his finger on the pulse of this whole thing, doesn’t he? This is the guy who called the second war against Saddam Hussein the biggest mistake in US history. So, apparently, he’s bound and determined to make his own history. The whole point of his little information campaign, alongside Marty Dempsey was to ease us into the boiling water of increased military participation in Iraq.
