| Obama on threats: 'We don't get terrorized' |
| 2013-08-08 |
[Al Ahram] President Barack ObamaI mean, I do think at a certain point you've made enough money... says security threats will never lead the US to retreat from the world. He says Americans don't get terrorized. Obama was responding Wednesday to new threats from al-Qaeda that led the US to close 19 diplomatic outposts and evacuate the US Embassy in Yemen. Obama said it's a complicated time for the US military. He said there have been big changes, especially in the Middle East and in North Africa. Obama said the US will remain, in his words, "the greatest force for freedom the world has ever known." He said the military is an integral part of that mission. But he said the US must also lead with its ideals and values. |

| #7 TSA Sswat teams? That is kind of a keystone cops visual. I think they would be a bigger danger to themselves than anyone else. Okay, I am for it - let there be more TSA Swat teams. |

| #5 The 19 embassies were closed for routine maintenance. They're getting electric-car recharging stations for their new Volts, like the US embassy in Vienna did? |
