| [The Daily Caller] Little new here, but perhaps the truth is beginning to sink in. |

| #6 OK, the current al Qaeda boys are JV. But they not only kicked our ass in Benghazi, but we didn't even see them coming. Worse yet, we were unable to respond. What does that say about us? And by 'us', I mean YOU, Mr. Commander in Chief. |

| #5 His sports references or diversions are tiring and trite. They betray his lack of seriousness and profound deficit of knowledge and caring. Too many Americans have died to invoke such analogies. |

| #4 "In his New Yorker interview published over the weekend, President Obama stated that current Al Qaeda was “jayvee” – and said that his analogy was often used around the White House. “The analogy we use around here sometimes, and I think is accurate, is if a jayvee team puts on Lakers uniforms that doesn’t make them Kobe Bryant,” Obama said. He then added, “I think there is a distinction between the capacity and reach of a bin Laden and a network that is actively planning major terrorist plots against the homeland versus jihadists who are engaged in various local power struggles and disputes, often sectarian.” |

| #3 A few weeks ago, someone here on the Burg recommended Kenneth Conboy & Dale Andre's book Spies & Commandos, How America Lost the Secret War in North Vietnam. I was able to find a copy. The parallels between our early involvement in Vietnam and events in Benghazi are inescapable and startling. |

| #2 This article is totally bogus. Everybody knows that in order to be a full affiliate of al-Kaeda you need to submit for 397 to the IRS and a section 9(c) disclosure to the SEC. And Sarbanes Oxley requires that al-Kaeda incorporate your financial statements in their consolidated financial statements in form 68-Q. This hasn't happened, so obviously they aren't an affiliate. |
