Via Times of Israel: Al-Qaeda planned to blow up US Embassy in Tel Aviv, Jerusalem convention center

Israel’s Shin Bet internal security agency cracked open an al-Qaeda plot, directed from the Gaza Strip, to carry out mega terror attacks in Israel against both US and Israeli targets, according to information the Shin Bet made available Wednesday. Israel is holding three suspects in the plot, it added, but the key plotter is still at large.

The attacks, still in the planning stage, included twin suicide bombings, against the US Embassy in Tel Aviv and the main Israeli convention center in Jerusalem, where President Barack Obama gave the centerpiece of his Israel visit last March.

So, here’s a question for the “smartest president, ever”:

Is this Al Qaeda group a junior varsity team, or are they Kobe Bryant?

Via Mediaite: Obama on Al Qaeda Groups: ‘If a Jayvee Team Puts on Lakers Uniforms, That Doesn’t Make Them Kobe’

David Remnick’s New Yorker profile of Barack Obama’s fifth year in office…includes a lengthy section on foreign policy, during which Remnick asked Obama to square his claim that al Qaeda had been “decimated” with the flag currently flying over Falluja, one of the cities the U.S. struggled to capture from insurgents in the Iraq War.

“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, in what Remnick himself termed “an uncharacteristically flip analogy.”

Maybe someone needs to tell POTUS:

You can put an American flag pin on your lapel, you can live in the WH, and give a SOTU speech, but that does not make you much of a president.

    You can have an NSA eavesdropping on all the communications in the world for the purpose of discovering terrorist plots against Americans, but that doesn’t mean it’s a Shin Bet.

    Its a given that Israel will do more to protect the American Embassy than the American President will.

    OMGosh! This is yet another example of OBummer being lazy. Comparing real-life American murdering terrorists to… basketball! We all need to thank God this plot was discovered in Israel, where they don’t sympathize with Al-Qaeda. I shiver to think if we could even trust our government to reveal real threats to us. This is what OBummer has built; a nation of people who don’t trust the leaders to do the right thing. Pray for our nation…and the peace of Jerusalem.
