Yes, that is exactly what this government needs in order to divert attention from all the massive spying and corruption that is evident at every level of government.
This passage came from the New York Times:
“The United States intercepted electronic communications this week among senior operatives of Al Qaeda, in which the terrorists discussed attacks against American interests in the Middle East and North Africa, American officials said Friday…
Some analysts and Congressional officials suggested Friday that emphasizing a terrorist threat now was a good way to divert attention from the uproar over the N.S.A.’s data-collection programs, and that if it showed the intercepts had uncovered a possible plot, even better.”
This came just after Obama’s interview with Jay Leno where he lamented that there were not more American deaths due to terrorist attacks than to automobile crashes.
“The odds of dying in a terrorist attack are a lot lower than they are of dying in a car accident, unfortunately.” ~Barrack Obama
Further comment seems useless, but then very few in this country will take notice of the truth that this government is evil!.
