And one of the reasons? As bin Laden said himself, US officials 'have largely stopped using the phrase 'the war on terror' in the context of not wanting to provoke Muslims'
I am so pleased with all of my horses ... They have all performed wonderfully this season. I want to say a special thanks to Missy Clark, John Brennan and the entire North Run staff who make it all possible.
the rise of lower leaders who are not as experienced and this would lead to the repeat of mistakes
This is now a very comprehensive program and we start to see, you know, John Brennan, Obama’s top counterterrorism adviser backing up the program
There is nothing in international law that bans the use of remotely piloted aircraft for this purpose or that prohibits us from using lethal force against our enemies outside of an active battlefield, at least when the country involved consents or is unable or unwilling to take action against the threat
The conclusion is best stated by John Brennan in this blog: ‘…the PIP case is one of alleged fraud. No system can ever fully guard against deliberate criminal activity.
In short, al-Qaida is losing, badly
And Bin Laden knew it. In documents we seized, he confessed to 'disaster after disaster.' He even urged his leaders to flee the tribal regions and go to places 'away from aircraft photography and bombardment.'
In short, Al Qaeda is losing, badly
As the al-Qaida core falters, it continues to look to its affiliates and adherents to carry on its murderous cause
AQAP continues to be al Qaeda's most active affiliate, and itcontinues to seek the opportunity to strike our homeland
Yes, in order to prevent terrorist attacks on the U.S. and to save American lives, the government conducts targeted strikes against specific al-Qaeda terrorists, sometimes using remotely piloted aircraft, often referred to publicly as drones
It is hard to imagine a tool that can better minimize the risk to civilians than remotely piloted aircraft
Broadly speaking, the debate over strikes targeted at individual members of Al-Qaeda has centered on their legality, their ethics, the wisdom of using them, and the standards by which they are approved
Today, it is increasingly clear that compared to 9/11, the core Al Qaeda leadership is a shadow of its former self
As a matter of domestic law, the Constitution empowers the President to protect the nation from any imminent threat
Well, first of all, there is no doubt whatsoever that bin Laden is dead ... I think by all accounts, it was a very successful raid on that compound in Abbottabad. What we don’t want to do is it put out anything that is going to unnecessarily incite emotions on this issue. These photos were confirmation ...
In documents we seized, he confessed to disaster after disaster ... He even urged his leaders to flee the tribal regions and to go places away from aircraft photography and bombardment.
They’re struggling to attract new recruits, moral is low ... In short, al-Qaeda is losing badly.
We only authorize a particular operation against a specific individual if we have a high degree of confidence that the individual being targeted is indeed the terrorist we are pursuing ... This is a very high bar.
There is nothing in international law that bans the use of remotely piloted aircraft for this purpose or that prohibits us from using lethal force against our enemies outside of an active battlefield
The death of bin Laden was our most strategic blow yet against al-Qaida ... And for the first time since this fight began, we can look ahead and envision a world in which the al-Qaida core is simply no longer relevant.
They can be a wise choice because they dramatically reduce the danger to US personnel, even eliminating the danger altogether. Yet they are also a wise choice because they dramatically reduce the danger to innocent civilians, especially considered against massive ordinance that can cause injury and deat...
