It is increasingly impossible to underestimate the Obama administration.\u00a0 No matter how bad it gets, they find a way to make it worse.\u00a0 I remember being puzzled that Obama was bombing the Khorasan Group, but no one seemed to know who they were.\u00a0 Now we know why.\u00a0 They didn\u2019t exist, other than in the deluded mind of the Obama administration.\u00a0 The Obama administration pulled a name out of the hat, because they refuse to admit that al Qaeda continues to exist.\u00a0 This is beyond pathetic.\u00a0 This administration is incapable to telling the truth, about anything.\u00a0 Obama said al Qaeda was destroyed, so al Qaeda had to be destroyed.\u00a0 Drones and precision airstrikes weren\u2019t working, so the decision was made to solve the problem by calling al Qaeda something else.\u00a0 Hey, how about the Khorasan Group.\u00a0 That way this will look like a new threat and Obama will suddenly look like he is on top of something, for a change.\u00a0 The problem is that in addition to CNN, ABC, NBC, MSNBC, CBS and even Fox News, we have people like Breitbart and the National Journal.\u00a0 The following article by Andrew McCarthy is breathtaking:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/article\/388990\/khorosan-group-does-not-exist-andrew-c-mccarthy<\/a><\/p>\n

There is a reason that no one had heard of such a group until a nanosecond ago, when the \u201cKhorosan Group\u201d suddenly went from anonymity to the \u201cimminent threat\u201d that became the rationale for an emergency air war there was supposedly no time to ask Congress to authorize.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

You haven\u2019t heard of the Khorosan Group because there isn\u2019t one. It is a name the administration came up with, calculating that Khorosan \u2014\u00a0the \u2013Iranian\u2013\u200bAfghan border region \u2014 had sufficient connection to jihadist lore that no one would call the president on it.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bob Beckel hinted at some terrific October surprise regarding national security:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.nationalreview.com\/corner\/388368\/bob-beckel-warns-october-surprise-dems-andrew-johnson<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2019ll tell you: I would expect an October surprise,\u201d Beckel said on Thursday. \u201cI think I know what is \u2014 I\u2019m not going to say it, but I think I know what it is \u2014 and it is going to shake things up, and it has to do with national security.\u201d<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Talk about grasping at straws.\u00a0 Now we learn that this imminent threat was so serious that no one bothered to inform our European allies:<\/p>\n

http:\/\/www.kansas.com\/news\/nation-world\/article2264747.html<\/a><\/p>\n

European counterterrorism specialists say their American counterparts never mentioned an imminent plot by al-Qaida operatives in Syria to attack Western targets and didn\u2019t brief them on the group that\u2019s supposedly behind the plan, a previously unknown terrorist unit that American officials have dubbed the Khorasan group.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

The European specialists, who meet regularly with U.S. officials on terrorism issues \u2013 particularly air travel and potential terrorist operations involving Western passport holders \u2013 said they were never specifically warned about such a group or such a plot. Such an omission, the specialists said, seemed unlikely if the plot were truly imminent.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

This would make for a hysterical SNL skit, but there is nothing funny about this. The threats from al Qaeda and ISIS are all too real.\u00a0 Obama may be laughed off the international stage, but that is small comfort.<\/p>\n
