THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Jihadist Attacks hit All-Time High It should probably come as no surprise that under President Obama’s watch, the number of attempted jihadist attacks in the U.S. is now higher than it has been since 2001. The Times of Israel reported: “[The House] Homeland Security Committee said in a release that the number of US terrorist cases involving US-bred jihadists has reached 124, a sharp rise from the 38 reported in 2010 and constituting a three-fold increase in just five years. The Islamist terror threat in the US homeland has escalated dramatically this year and remains high,” committee chairman Michael McCaul said in the monthly 'Terror Threat Snapshot' published Friday. 'There have been more US-based jihadist terror cases in 2015 than in any full year since [September 11, 2001],'" Perhaps even more disturbing, the Committee report also warned that America has “largely failed” to stop ISIS which is “fueling the Islamist wildfire ...at unprecedented speed.” Since “degrading and destroying” ISIS doesn’t seem like it will be part of the “Obama Legacy,” at least he was able to re-name Mount McKinley in Alaska. Remembering 'More Flexibility' On a bright stage in Boca Raton, Florida, Former Governor Mitt Romney and President Obama debated foreign policy. When pressed on why Romney had earlier named Russia as America's greatest geopolitical concern President Obama sarcastically said, "The 1980's called and they want their foreign policy back; The cold war has been over for 20 years." Romney countered, "Russia has battled us many times in the UN and I'm not going to wear rose-colored glasses when it comes to Russia or Mr. Putin." Romney continued, "I'm certainly not going to tell Mr. Putin he'll have more flexibility after the election." The later comment was a reference to comments President Obama's conversation with Russian President Dmitry Medvedev that Mr. Putin needed to give him space until Obama was re-elected. It's clear that the Obama Administration's "more flexibility" policy was taken to heart by Putin. We've seen numerous issues in the Ukraine. Russian fighters have flown into American airspace and now, it appears, Russia has sent military advisors to Syria to help President al-Assad resist rebels and ISIS. This after Secretary of State John Kerry had called Russian officials just a few days ago to discuss American's concerns that Russia is supporting the al-Assad administration. It seems pretty obvious that Russia feels compelled to take advantage of President Obama's offer of flexibility and this headache has become a real issue for the next president.
