Obama making us safer

I'm still trying to rest the shoulder as much as I can but I want to archive this one. It didn't get nearly enough attention. Diplomacy works.

Responding to criticism from former Vice President Cheney that President Obama is making the nation more vulnerable to terrorism, the president’s National Security Adviser, Gen. Jim Jones (Ret.), told ABC News in an exclusive interview that actually the reverse is true: President Obama’s greater success with international relations has meant more terrorists put out of commission.

Jones said that “we are seeing results that indicate more captures, more deaths of radical leaders and a kind of a global coming-together by the fact that this is a threat to not only the United States but to the world at-large and the world is moving toward doing something about it.”

Who could have predicted that not behaving like a swaggering bully would lead to greater co-operation among international leaders and lessen the threat of terrorism?
