Obama: Troops ‘distracted’ from real threats

Updated: 52 minutes ago
The United States is ill-prepared for another large-scale terrorist attack like 9/11 because limited military resources are bogged down in a war in Iraq the U.S. cannot win, presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama said on TODAY.

Obama's remarks come a day after the Pentagon released partially redacted transcripts of a secret military hearing in which accused terror mastermind Khalid Sheikh Mohammed was quoted as saying that he was responsible “A to Z” for planning the hijackings and intentional crashes of four passenger jets on Sept. 11, 2001.

Nearly 3,000 died when 19 suicide hijackers slammed the planes into the World Trade Center's Twin Towers in New York, the Pentagon in Washington, D.C., and a Pennsylvania field.

I was responsible for the attempt to destroy an American oil company owned by the Jewish former Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger, on the Island of Sumatra, Indonesia.

4. Because Obama is such an expert on war fighting
He's a lightweight. Let the experts fight war or bring 'em all home.
