(CNSNews.com) – President Barack Obama has described al Qaeda as having been “decimated,” “on the path to defeat” or some other variation at least 32 times since the attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya, according to White House transcripts. This comes despite Libyan President Mohamed Yousef El-Magarief, members of Congress, an administration spokesperson, and several press reports suggesting that al Qaeda played a role in the attack. Recently, on Nov. 1 in Green Bay, Wis., Obama said, “Thanks to sacrifice and service of our brave men and women in uniform, the war in Iraq is over, the war in Afghanistan is winding down, Al- Qaeda has been decimated, Osama bin Laden is dead.”While Obama is still bobbing and weaving to obscure the truth regarding the Benghazi slaughter, Al-Qaeda continues to make headlines, including the recent attack in Algeria where at least one American life was lost to terrorists. In response to this latest “leading from behind” failure, Obama interrupted his inaugural primping to issue the following statement, as reported:
"This attack is another reminder of the threat posed by al Qaeda and other violent extremist groups in North Africa," Obama said. "In the coming days, we will remain in close touch with the government of Algeria to gain a fuller understanding of what took place so that we can work together to prevent tragedies like this in the future."Excuse me, Mr. President: Does the Al-Qaeda which you now describe as a terrorist threat have any affiliation whatsoever with the Al-Qaeda that you allegedly decimated? Just asking!
