You are partially right.
During the 2012 campaign, he and Biden repeatedly said Al Qaeda was defeated, decimated, on the run, etc. That was false and they knew it was false.
More recently, he referred to ISIS as the JV Team of Al Qaeda. As ISIS was marching through Iraq. He knew that was false too.
Disagreed.......actually Obama and Biden are right...Al Qaeda proper is definitely defeated, decimated and on the run....the organization that Bin Laden built and is now run by Zaquawi is a shell of its former self....Obama has caught and killed Bin Laden, killed many of its senior leaders by drone and assassination, and has destroyed the financial aspects of the organization as well...its much more difficult to plan and carry out attacks which is why we haven't seen large scale attacks in the U.S....
Its only lone wolves who have been radicalized who have been launching attacks...very hard to stop unless youre going to put a policeman in every house....we also need to get away from calling the president a liar if we have no proof of such
