Obama Spikes Football on Al Qaeda as AQ Kills 24 in Yemen
Obama Spikes Football on Al Qaeda as AQ Kills 24 in Yemen | Flopping Aces

On Oct 19 President Obama delivered a speech claiming Al Qaeda is nearing defeat. On that same day, Al Qaeda delivered an attack on a Yemeni army base that killed 24.
Obama told a cheering crowd: Four years ago, I told you wed end the war in Iraq and we did. I said wed end the war in Afghanistan and we are. I said wed actually focus on the terrorists who attacked us on 9/11 and we have. Al Qaeda is on the path to defeat.
In Yemen, two Al Qaeda suicide bombers in military uniforms, in a military car, drove their car into the military base in Shuqra and detonated it. At that point, other Al Qaeda militants opened fire from outside the base. In total 16 army personnel were killed and eight Al Qaeda members.
While Obama told the cheering crowd, Osama bin Laden is dead as if that means the war on terror has been reduced or nearly wrapped up Saudi Arabia, many Yemenis, and others in the Gulf region told news outlets that Al Qaeda is on the rise and they fear Obamas handling of the war on terror is actually driving that groups membership higher.
